Its good....

to see people who aren't brainwashed - but I guess they haven't had years of society polluting their minds

So apparently there is hope....I wasn't so sure but Yoda does say that children are genius

Don't take it!

Finland have suspended the Swine-flu vacine, due to safety / side effect concerns. Somehow the system will try and get people to have it....just don't risk it.

Nothing but....

BBC News 15 August 2010

President Barak Obama takes a dip in Gulf of Mexico

"Barack Obama has taken a swim in the Gulf of Mexico in a bid to reassure Americans that the waters are safe despite the recent oil spill.

The US president is on holiday on Florida's Gulf Coast with his family and has also been spotted playing mini golf as he tries to get accross his message that the area is open for business."




OR....

Independent 16 August 2010

President goes for a swim in the Gulf – or does he?


"President Barack Obama wanted to convince America that the Gulf of Mexico remains open for business. But perhaps he didn't want the world to catch another glimpse of his hairless chest.

So when he and his daughter, Sasha, took a dip in the sea off Florida this weekend, only the White House photographer was allowed to capture proceedings.

The official picture was intended to provide evidence that the region's beaches are back to normal. Yet it soon emerged that the private beach on which it was taken, off Alligator Point in St Andrew Bay, north-west Florida, isn't technically in the gulf."



I'm sure a couple of months ago the White House was saying the oil spill is the worst environmental disaster the USA has ever seen, and would take months, even years to clean up

I wonder what has made them want to change the message so quickly?


And....

funny but this guy looks familiar!

Get some





Well....finally made it....for a while now at least, I am free to do as I please, every hour of every day!
I will miss the many good people I have met there. Today I am quite lost for words from the warmth they showed me - It will be with me for a long time....

Oh Yes!



ONE....more day to go!!!

Just over 4 years ago I started contracting there and just over 3 years ago I took a perm job there. At times its been okay and I cannot deny I have met some really nice people who I will miss, but too much of the time it sucked! It sucked my energy, my happiness and my freedom....

There have been things recently that have made me realise it wouldn't last, as I was ultimately giving too much when there are more rewarding things in life to give to.

It is the eve of the new beginning for me....

I raise a glass to those who have helped me get here....and now the smile of free kag can really spread

Thanks x

Did you see a plane?

I have previously seen the September Clues videos about the lack of planes at the WTC and now Richard D Hall gives his thoughts

Not Surprising?

There are so many good links coming from Davidicke.com lately

Todays headlines lead to Yahoo news and where do you think the US and UK aid given to Pakistan could end up?

It seems....

....possibilities are endless

Two!!



Days left!

Today was a slight drag, was feeling a bit under the weather so the day at work just didn't fly by....but thats one more done now....2 left till freedom = sweet!!

Chill....

Enough of the serious stuff - check this chilled but rad clip from Bicycle Union

Bankers....

HSBC have announced mahusive profits for the first half of the year and apparently other banks, including those propped up by the tax payer will be doing the same!

Hopefully this will be the start of the vale lifting on the fraud of the government backed modern banking system and more and more people will be led to ask;

Where do banks get the money they lend from?
Why do governments need to borrow from banks when they saved their asses?
Why do governments let banks charge them interest on the money they gave back to them?
Why is repaying this debt the number one priority of the government, yet it will cost the people their jobs and homes, which the banks end up reclaiming?

I wonder who will always end up winning?

Three!!




days left :)

Up in smoke

Is it because they can't patent a daffodil?

Food glorious food !?!?

Will this be a media frenzy....probably not, but I think there will soon be more talk of the 'double dip', which referred to something entirely different when I was growing up!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews

Food inflation 'could go beyond 10pc before next year'

The cost of food is likely to jump by up to 10 per cent before Christmas after dry weather drastically reduced the amount of winter feed that farmers could harvest, experts said.

The price of milk, cheese, chicken, beef and pork and associated products are all expected to rise because the industry has been hit by soaring animal feed prices, a shortage of silage and poor harvests.

Food inflation is closely linked to overall inflation and some in the industry have warned it could push the economy towards a "double-dip" recession.

Get well soon Van

Van Homan News.
July 31st, 2010

You probably heard by now that Van Homan hit his head in X-Games street practice, which put him out of the event. So instead of medals at summer X, he gets a nice relaxing hospital stay. I got some news from Van’s wife Samantha so I thought I’d share. Sounds like he’s doing better. “We are in the ICU, he’s got a skull fracture and a little bit of bruising and a tiny bit of blood on the brain. He’s responsive just tired and antsy. They should be moving him into regular care tomorrow.” Get well soon Van!
