Low-Content: Nicki Minaj, et. al.

Nicki Minaj is another one of those artists I like (and can't exactly place why). Her music videos set the interest in stone. Be warned, this is all the "atrocious pop music" that all the hipsters make fun of.

Of Interest: The Collapse of the American Dream

Explained in animation! An excellent watch.

The rundown:

Money = Debt

The Federal Reserve isn't actually part of the government.

We do best with money backed by actual capital - gold, for instance.

The IRS and FED appear to be synergistic in nature.

The FED orders the US Mint to print money.

The FED loans this money out to other banks at interest.

(Note that there isn't a requirement for more gold/capital to exist)

The loans go to borrowers at higher interest.

The loans get paid back (one way or another).

The money then goes to the owners of the banks.

The animation has a lot of history written into it, and a bit of conspiracy theory, too.

In short, one of the most striking points for me was something said by Jefferson -

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their  currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of  all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."  

I'm concerned about this nation's well-being.

Notes on pending network expansion:

Just some ideas about what's to come:

- Do-it-yourself electronics, rants, and raves.
- Exotic Virology
- Fashion (most likely of the feminine variety)

...and if you'd like to join, just send me a message.

Benefits of joining include:

- Superbly-equipped co-workers
- Cross-promotion opportunities
- Social media plugs on your behalf

...and more important things, like:

- Instant wish fulfillment
- Regular Caribbean cruises
- Your own PET DRAGON.

Admittedly, those last three are a complete falsehood.

But the "what's to come" and employee benefits- those are all real.

Let me know what you think!

Stuff I like: L4D(2)

You (and three others) are a survivor during a rampant infestation of violent zombies. Their numbers are significantly greater than yours, many have superhuman talents, and the fight to survive will be a difficult one.

This is a game that I enjoy but cannot play well (much like every other FPS), and it makes for entertaining multiplayer. To illustrate:

SPANG.
