Nonpoint Source Pollution, Seafood, Mercury, Illness, and Cancer (Rough Draft)

Nonpoint Source Pollution, Seafood, Mercury, and Cancer and other related topic of Environmentalism (Rough Draft)


Introduction:

I am writing this entry in response to the overwhelming deliberate ignorance on the topic of Seafood being incredibly toxic, bad for the environment, and generally bad overall... based not on some emotional dislike of seafood or personal preference, but based on the facts and data.

If I have sent you this link to THIS ENTRY, it is because you are quite literally ignorant of these facts.

To qualify this, I would like to explain what the word "ignorant" means, since for some reason people seem to be literally ignorant of the actual definition of what ignorance actually means. For some reason, referring to something as ignorant often gets a strange misinformed reaction from people whom act as tho' u had called them some sort of derogatory racial epithet.

"Ignorant" generally means: lacking information, unlearned, being uneducated lacking and understanding of a matter. But, don't take my word for it; LOOK IT UP YOURSELF!

So, if someone asked you to fix their engine in their jet plane, and you had no idea how to do that, you would be IGNORANT about how to do that. THAT is what that means.
If someone asked you your opinion of the viscosity of synthetic engine lubricants over petrol based oils but you had no point of reference or knowledge of this, you wouldn't be able to answer the question. Therefore you would be IGNORANT ON THE MATTER.

See? It's all very sensible. Not a derogatory whatsoever. Words have meanings.

By the way, if you were to ask me this question on the viscosity of engine lubricants, I would say, based on my on the field training from my previous employment endeavors, that I would that altho' I am not a chemist expert, I do have a somewhat informed and trained knowledge of the substances, and that my informed opinion, based on consensus on the job via coworkers, and the company, that the synthetic lubricants are much better than petroleum oil based lubricants. The reason is due to synthetic lubricant being made from gases instead of petroleum which burns more, and is more impure. Synthetic has better bonding or viscosity flow which reduced wear on engine parts, and is more efficient. It also creates less waste products in the engines... synthetics also often have agents in them with fill in the worn out parts of the metal parts, and help older engines to keep working longer.

However, I'm not an expert in engines, nor do I know anything about jet engines which are incredibly complex. Therefore, I am incredibly ignorant about jet plane engines. Therefore I would be unqualified to really have an opinion, let alone speak on them in a factual manner.


Unfortunately, if I have sent this link to you and you refuse to read it, and still argue with me, it proves your willful ignorance, cognitive dissonance  * , and perhaps even narcissism. 
(There is quite a lot of good content on these topics from various points of views from MIT, Harvard, and Oxford, among many others. I would like to note that simply reading Jung, or Freud is not sufficient enough, and would recommend university research and lectures which are more contemporary and nuanced.)

As for the topics of pollution, wildlife, nonpoint source pollution, ecology there are many organizations such as government run, or educational, that have quite a bit of information.

I worked in the 1990s in several environmental projects, and I have a diploma in Environmental Sciences (1998) at BCIT Medford NJ. Our class was handpicked by Vice President Al Gore to work on G.L.O.B.E. and went to the Earth Summit in Helsinki.
I worked with NOAA, NASA, The Weather Channel, EPA, FFA, most especially with writing papers, data collection, lectures, presentations, reporting, water testing, soil testing, ecology, and several others.
This was my instructor. You can verify all of this, his information, and you can also check the State of New Jersey for which I earned 2 diplomas, graduating in 1998. You can also check my LinkedIn.

*

Every single thing is verifiable, check-able, and able to cross reference, or triangulate.

I would also like to state that altho' I am a creative person, I am also a person of science. Environmental Science is, and has always been, a major part of my raison d'être.


To this day, I still receive countless newsletters on environmental topics, especially related to the ocean. I have consistently shared/posted articles to my Facebook wall since at least 2007, and my original reason for joining twitter around 2007-08 was to follow @ecogeek and other environmental content creators. I have also signed countless petitions to Washington DC representatives and offices, various state governments, and also international campaigns to promote awareness on various topics, to protest, or to inquire, and I've participated in more online groups, message boards, forums, social networks and anything else I can think of, more than I can ever remember.

So, my blood is nearly green...

Well, if there was any question as to whether I'm serious about knowledge, training, education, and involvement in these topics, aside from my ANTIDOTES, its ALSO variable,  and able to check the records, and/or speak with those involved.


Nonpoint Source Pollution

Introduction:

There are a number of witty stories I could tell about this specific topic, which I'm sure I have told to people ad nauseam already, however, that won't be written in this entry.

Among several topics we had to thoroughly study, research, report on, lecture on, take lengthy tests on and write "journals" on every single week, this was actually a toppic that wasn't really mentioned much. However, we had tons of brochures throughout the "shop". I read ALL OF THEM because they often had the newest, up-to-date info that wasn't in the text books, and the only other way to get newer info was to read the printed magazines or news letters we got. (Most people DID NOT READ THEM.) I read ALL of those as well, because I wanted to know whatever NASA or NOAA was doing. We also were quite fascinated (back in the 90s) about the new scheduled mission to Mars (which Bush administration put a stop to) and I often wrote papers on terraforming, or the objects that collided with the planet Jupiter, but i also wrote about agriculture, migrating patterns of marine mammals, negative ions, tons of stuff about recycling since we had our own recycling station for the entire school run by us, endangered species, black market trade, CFCs VS. HFCs regarding O3 Ozone layer, types of Ultra Violet Radiation, and greenhouse gases such as CO2 & O3 emissions in cities, as well as papers on various opposing views on Los Angels pollution causing asthma.

Since I was an artist, I did often use my art skills for the benefit of the entire class/shop/school, but I very much did all the regular work, and even got special privileges to create my own fields of specialized study, and granted privileges to do several things that most people were not granted. I worked very hard to earn all of that. So, when pressed by some jealous students about my high grades and privileges about what I did in the shop to deserve such good grades and accolades, I challenged my peers to ask me questions to see whether I knew my stuff. Naturally, since they had specialized in Marine Biology all of their questions were about that topic, which I had memorized all of and even had my own active interests in as well. When I finished answering each student's questions, hoping they could shame me, and failing miserably, I asked them as question:

What is nonpoint source pollution?

They all looked at each other, bewildered, and had no idea. Then, accused me of making it up. I asked them if they were sure they didn't know, and if they were sure I had made it up. Then, they told me to prove it. So, I asked again if they were sure. And, still they smugly accused me of making it up. I reached over to the table next to their cubicle area where all of the pamphlets and brochures were and the ones closes to them, for which they themselves had even laid out months ago, and even handed out to visitors....

The title of is was:
Nonpoint Source Pollution;
What is Nonpoint Source Pollution? 

Needless to say, I proved I knew my stuff.
I also worked a part time job, and went to the university in Philadelphia on the weekends.

Nonpoint Source Pollution

Nonpoint source pollution, or more recently called NPS Pollution is NOT anything new. It's been a topic of study for a LONG time. You can easily look it up.

Basically, it's tiny cumulative amounts of pollutants that over time wash into the ocean and become concentrated.

If you want a SIMPLE explanation with pictures this one by NOAA is VERY GOOD.

I personally have a very GOOD view/opinion of NOAA having worked with them on many projects, tasks, and communications, and often found their data collection to be good. I generally focused on analyzing temperature measurements, seasonal data, and contributed in projects with students of all ages in recording weather observations. There were other organizations I also did this with, such as water samples data entry. Also, I felt the personnel at NOAA in the 1990s was very good. However, they were not the only ones.

I also used direct information put out by EPA, including paper documents sent to us, digital media, printed media, and letters. There were so many, however I didn't keep any of them, because I was focused on graduating, and international travel.

Nonpoint Source pollution is especially, and specifically, very cogent to the existence of toxins in the water supply, the oceans, and in the wildlife, specifically fish, but not limited to it.

But, you could, you know, just not ever look it up, and stay willfully ignorant of this information....

This also has a number of connections with something known as "Acid rain" that if you had bothered to ever research (like I did thoroughly) you would realized how much bunk stupid paranoid cults think "chem trails" cause weird pollution, when in facts it's acid rain caused by verifiable polluters.


Overfishing

Overfishing is not a new field of study, it is old. Its so common of a topic that even students that do not study Environmental Sciences as a major, or specified interest but study the basics of sciences will most certainly learn this. If you are learning or studying Ecology which is the foundation basis of Environmental Science, you MUST learn this. if you study marine Biology you MUST learn this. It is SO rudimentary, fundamental, and for beginners...

This is SO easy to understand, and there are so many sources of data, so many experts. If you just tried to type Overfishing in any search engine in modern day you could find so much this topic. BUt, as much as there is out there, its all the same thing.

The basic gist of it, is that when you deplete a population of its natural numbers in nature within an ecosystem, you affect/effect other species in what is known as a "food chain" in ecology. Where nonpoint spource pollution was a major factor in effecting the ecosystem, overfishing is another.

When you extract more than can be sustainable replaced, or replenished you bother not only the other aspects of nature, but your own. It's all very fascinating, and there is SO MUCH data, evidence, examples, etc. of this.

I did NOT make this up. It is SCIENTIFIC FACT.

Why are you so inept that you can't even look this stuff up yourself?

* WWF
* National Geographic
* Overfish.org


But, hey... don't look it up or anything.... because then you might actually learn something...
So, just remain foolishly ignorant...


To this day, no matter HOW MANY TIMES people learn this, no matter how many times, you share videos, graphics, articles, presentations, books, pamphlets, etc... and they even get it, understand it, agree with it.... at some point, its as tho' there's some reset button in people's brains, and they just forget it ever happened... probably because they just want to selfishly EAT FISH, so facts be damned...

It is SO FRUSTRATING!

A year or 2 later, I'm like: Don't you remember that thing? The seminar we went to? that video I showed you in person, at my house? That article we read as the bus station?

I still DO NOT even understand WHY people WANT to even eat fish!
They are filthy, they STINK, they taste fishy, smell fishy, and they're full of little bones.
You don;t know whether the fish came from. You don't know how many laws were broken, since the fishing industry is the MOST corrupt consistently. It's funny, because nowadays, all meat industries in the USA seem to have some kind of corrupt, immoral something about them that wasn't there last century when it was union based and more regulated.

Each time you pay your money to seafood, you are personally guilty of contributing to that industry encouraging them to continue destroying our earth, our oceans, or ecosystems.

I'm not some ridiculous vegan that has bizarre self righteous out of touch with reality ideas... I'm telling you, I did the research. I understand the facts. If you still continue to contribute to these industries, then you really don't "get it" yet, you're in denial, and you are selfish.

But, even if you don't give a damn about the world around you like vulture capitalists, anarcho capitalists, libertarians, neocons and neoliberalism capitalists...

Would you care about your own health?


But, the answer is still no.
Eating fish isn't something I would think of as an addiction. That sounds ridiculous. But, those whom are THE MOST fervently opposed to stop eating fish, stop overfishing, and deny the facts of it eat copious amounts of seafood. that shows a clear bias.


How many articles, expose's, and documentaries have to come out about the dangers of, for example, shrimp. It's the most toxic, the most dangerous, the most unregulated, the most hazardous, and even uses captive slavery.

And still, you avert your eyes, and cover your ears...distract yourself with dollar tacos, video games, pornographic superficial media, gossip, status, or work yourself into exhaustion without living life consciously, nor conscientiously...


I would also like to mention a HIGHLY destructive fishing practice known as Trawling or net dragging. 

See also "Dolphin safe tuna nets" which are not actually safe for dolphins. What it means is that there is a trap door that dolphins can leave through. However, dolphins often panic and drown, and don't understand the concept of a door.
I used to have VHS video tapes of gruesome footage of dolphins dying in "dolphin safe nets".


SHRIMP

Of the entire fishing/seafood industry the worst is shrimping.

The majority of shrimp on the market is "farmed" shrimp, almost entirely from Thailand, and some other parts of south Asia. They "farm" these shrimps in sewage. they are SO TOXIC that each sewage pond can only be used for about 7 years, after which nothing can ever live in it again.

If you are spending small money on cheaply priced shrimp, its these. They are also saturated in antibiotics.

If you look and dig deep into this topic you can find tons of information on this, and you can backtrack the sources of the information. this information has been available for years.

Here is some recent reporting:

* Consumer Reports
* NBC
* The New York Times


Anther place to find a lot of reporting content on this topic is YouTube, various news outlets, and more.

BY THE WAY, these shrimps are SO TOXIC that they are laced with toxins that cause cancer.

If that's not bad enough, regarding wild shrimp, that's hunted down on the open sea, often illegally.... Well, those use captive slaves. So now you can eat cheap toxic shrimp, and tell your ego you're luxurious. They even use slaved to shuck the shrimp for your pets' food!

* The Washington Post: 001, 002,
* The Guardian: 001, 002,
* The New York Times

* Mother Jones: 6 Reasons To Not Eat nor Purchase Shrimp
Now.... you can tell this article up here was CLEARLY written by an environmentalist... he mentions the above topics I'd already mentioned, such as Overfishing...

In fact, this article was written by Tom Philpott. If you klick his name on the article you will see a list of articles he's written. They are specifically related to environmental issues, as well as topics like slavery, and human health. Then klick the link to his website and you find he's quite knowledgeable on a lot of topics, and very involved with them.

There. Did you see that?

Did you see just how EASY that was to just find that?

Research. Due diligence.

This stuff is NOT difficult to understand. Just take your time.

There's also quite a bit on the slave shrimping on YouTube as well.

After ALL of this OVERWHELMING evidence, HOW DO YOU STILL EAT, PURCHASE, AND CONDONE THIS?
HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF?
HOW DO YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO OVERRIDE COMMON SENSE?
Is it REALLY that delicious?
Do you REALLY think you're not wrong?

Or, did you just IGNORE the whole thing?

Did you even BOTHER to read, or watch ANYTHING?

If you're NOT bothered by this, or still deny the truth, you ARE IGNORANT, but willfully so.

Now lets get into the BIG FISH. 

MERCURY & PCBs

Mercury:

What is Mercury?

Mercury is a liquid state metal in normal everyday temperatures without being heated or melted. It's also called quick silver, and was prized by ancient alchemists.
Qin Shi Huang Di the uniting war lord of the Chinese Empire used to eat a form of this thinking it was medicine and would give him magical powers or immortality, when in fact it made him sick and insane. The form he ate was a more soluble formulation that permanently stated in his body tissues, and to this day he is still encased in a tank of liquid mercury in a tomb which over the millennia have leaked emissions of the mercury vapors.

Look up "Mad hatter's disease" regarding mercury poisoning as well as "occupational hazard mercury".

This is mostly regarding "inorganic mercury".(You can look that up, and see what you find.) Inorganic mercury is a very common types of Nonpoint Source Pollution.... and where does it go? Into the ocean. In can also leak into the soil, and spread through the watershed.

The form of mercury known as elemental mercury, usually isn't absorbable via intestinal tract into the human body, and not digestible... however, breathing in the vapors is a different matter. But, don;t believe me. Look it up yourself.

Or, why bother? It's not like you actually want to know, right?


The medical effects of Mercury on biological systems:

See also:

* The effects of mercury on hemoglobin (This one is quite a bit of research)
Mercury can affect oxygen and hemoglobin within living cells. This is what causes the cancers.
[Some of this info is credited to Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg, however I cannot definitively confirm this.]
* Mercury toxicity transmitted from mother to baby
* Mercury is known to cause cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma,  

Here's just an example of medical grade mercury vapors from filling amalgams polluting the air, medical personnel, and patients, which also urinate the mercury which goes into the water supply, into the atmosphere, etc:

Larger fish have more mercury contamination the smaller ones, especially the predictor fish because they eat other contaminated fish and have higher concentrations of the toxins.

Here's a comprehensive advisory by the NRDC.

Mercury is NOT a natural occurring element in the ocean. It is a result of Nonpoint Source Polution, and is increasing in concentration due to human created byproducts, and or dumping. Websites making this claim due so in order to promote CONSUMPTION of their industry produce or products. 

Since toxicity has risen so much over the last few decades the EPA had lowered its standards to allow fishing industry to legally sell and poison you. Mercury is NOT safe to consume at all.

It's soluble into the fatty tissues and oils as well as the flesh proteins, and once ingested also enters into the fatty tissues of the human bod.

If you are researching this you need to back track the standards against the data over time to see these changes. You will also find that agencies like the EPA will give conflicting information about it being toxic, yet still recommending you to eat it. This has to do with leadership corruption in connection to corporatism run rampant in the US government, and is a systemic problem.

If you were not paying attention over the course of this time frame you would not know of it, however, if you were to try and backtrack this, it would take quite a bit of time, effort, and research. you would need to go through records, check the leaders, heads, their associations and connections, examine their motives. check old paper printed media from last century dating back to Richard Nixon.

That was quite a bit of clues right there if you want to go sleuthing and armchair researching it yourself, but I suggest you take notes to keep track because its a lot.

There is SO much research on mercury alone in fish that you need to filter through whom is putting out false claims, often those whom profit from selling fish, or have been paid to do so.

* Here's a bunch of info from the ATSDR about Mercury including mercury contamination in High Fructose Corn Syrup. Some cogent info. (there are also several news articles reporting on this topic)

If you are in the medical field, or a law student, this is something of interest to you that would behoove you to look up as much as you can:

PCBs: Polychlorinated Biphenyls

PCBs are an oily substance that causes all kinds of biological disruptions, diseases, and cancers. It effects/affects the nervous system, endocrine, reproductive systems, immune system, and often can't be removed from an organism.

It's incredibly toxic.

The trouble with researching PCBs is you need to research it rather thoroughly because there's this new fad in paid-for think tanks to say that PCBs are ONLY found in farmed fishing... but that is a lie.
you can find it in wild fish, and seafood.


There's a lot of misinformation about the health effects of PCBs & Mercury, telling you actual pseudoscience statements of "safe levels" which is laughable. Even is small doses it's damaging, and it's what is known as cumulative toxins, which means they build up over time in your body.

So, if you eat quantities of this stuff weekly or monthly you are building up levels of of the toxins into your body tissues. It's also measurable in you fingernails and toenails.

Since nails grow at a slow rate, you can actually measure when you ate more or less amounts of the toxins in your diet over time.

Here's a concise bit of facts on PCBs by the EPA.

The Breast Cancer Fund did an EXCELLENT JOB on this piece on PCBs.


There is SO MUCH info on this that you could spend weeks on JUST PCBs.



Disinformationists

Here's a typical kind of hit-job anti-science, anti-environmentalist type of paper put out by Dr. Fukuzo Nagasaki. Yet again, see Ecology. His biases are very apparent. Japan also is notorious for breaking international laws and liberally killing off many kinds of endangered species. One might assume he enjoys eating eating whales, hunting animals into extinction, or hates following laws. Seems very masochistic.

Look into what is known as "Greenwashing"  often compared to whitewashing.

It's a practice in which industries and corporation engage in types of fraud through marketing, publishing of false information as fact, often with the intent of deceiving consumers or elected officials into purchasing their products or deregulating laws.  It's also illegal. they often use practices known as "selective disclosure" which is fraud which will use some information to make something seem good, or safe, while with conscious intent of leaving out information that makes them look bad.

Fraud is illegal.

Most disinformationoists including Greenwashing has a motive, such as profit motives, money motives, personal selfish & self-centered preferences, a dislike for fairness or equality, pridefulness egoisms such as not wishing to admit Mea Culpa, and bias towards maintaining status quo.

If anyone tells you there are safe levels of: lead, mercury, PCBs and radioactive toxins they are either liars, or they have been totally duped.

In order to become a Medical Doctor one must take the Hippocratic Oath which there is discrepancies over whether it is legally binding anymore.

If doctors are no longer bound to a Hippocratic oath, then they are allowed to violate patients, and can commit malpractice at will.  this is rather disturbing... Is it any wonder that many people do not trust the medical field?

Here's a video which has examples of Greewashing or Whitewashing fraudulant, deceptive marketing:

Fukushima & BP:

 British Petroleum:

When BP's Deepwater Horizon spilled into the gulf of Mexico it raised quite  lot of concerns about contamination. During that spill they spent more time trying to keep on sucking up the leaking oil, and trying to cover-up what they couldn't catch with chemical disbursements. They also admitted they had no idea what effect it would have on wildlife long term.

There is so much information available online, at your fingertips, that it's overwhelming. If you really want to get into that, that could take all year. But, don't take my word for it.

 The oil spill disaster is known as the worst oil spill in history, and has contaminated the Atlantic Ocean also including many kinds of fishing industry produce.

 
If you've ever studied Ecology and Environmental sciences, you would know, and SHOULD KNOW, about the cycles of the ocean currents, often referred to as the "Ocean Conveyor belt" which isn't really a term I care for.

There is generally 1 major current that cycles based on temperature, however there are several other smaller currents as well.

 Now, if you've actually studied this (like I have) and written reports and essays on this topic (like I have) and have an some type of accredited education in this (like I have) you would know this, and understand even further just how BAD the BP oil spill was, and to also emphasize the chemical dispersants use by BP to minimize the visual look of the tons of oil spilled in the oceans.

It's not some magic potion that just makes the crude oil vanish.

There is a ton of information out there about the chemicals dispersants. it's been said that the chemicals used were a toxic chemical called Corexit which is also known as "deodorized kerosene" and is definitely toxic. Keep in mind that this chemical in the ocean which is saline plus dispersed with crude can cause it to become more easily absorbable by living organisms. So, for someone to call the toxins as harmless as dissoap is yet another example of Greenwashing also paid for by the Cheif Executive's company BP to promote this fraud.

Now, referring back to the ocean cycle, you can see why this is an issue. Just because this occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, do you actually believe it can't effect the rest of the planet, most of which is covered in ocean?

 You also need to keep account of ecological study of bird population migration, marine birds, migrating marine animals, choral reefs, plankton, algae, and how these effect what is also on the land.

You are deluding yourself if you stubbornly still think it isn't all connected, and it's totally safe to still eat things from the oceans.

There's a reason why it took 4 years for a person to get the diploma in environmental science...  just sayin'...


Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Catastrophe:

 Fukushima Daiichi is one of THE most frustrating topics to try and talk about, for several reasons. Not only is it THE WORST NUCLEAR DISTAER IN HISTORY, and THE MOST VOLATILE, it's worse than CHERNOBYL, and it is STILL LEAKING eveery second. The reactors could blow at any moment. They also leak into the atmospheres and not just the ocean. But, nuclear science and how it effects biology such as DNA is SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Reading through the papers is so hard you need to read, and reread, just to be sure you can understand it, because it often seems backwards and uses its own lexicon. So, if you struggle to understand it, I hear ya. It is SO DIFFICULT. 
I've gotten almost as many headaches from reading this topic as trying to figure out monands & monoids calculations, which I still can't understand. 

But, the facts of just how bad this situation is so jarring, and so overwhelming. Try looking up what the contaminated currents from japan did to British Columbia.

Another frustrating problem about this toppic is that many of the really good websites and information websites and media content keeps getting deleted. there was a Canadian group that kept getting shut down.

If you REALLY want to open up a can of worms, I DARE you to try researching Fukushima radiation. It's so overwhelming that if you even tried it for 3 hours you'd be so exhausted, you will want to guzzle shots of vodka because its so stressful.  There is SO MUCH info out there tho'.

Just a suggestion: should you actually start researching  Fukushima and find some good credible sources I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you save the webpage to your hard drive, make print-outs with your printer, and take screenshots, because this topic tends to keep going missing.

In fact I JUST  had a malware virus wipe all of my data on my hard drive this month, and I had a LOT of official documents especially about Fukushima that I cannot get anymore.

Here's an official  video about the Fukushima disaster (turn on the subtitles):

Now, let me explain something. You cannot go to Chernobyl because it's so radio active, and even the area around it. If you touch anything there, a leaf, a blade of grass, the bottom of your shoes, whatever touches it will be radioactive pretty much forever as far as the time frame span of however the earth and our solar system might last before that ends. I use the term "loosely" but as far your own, tiny existence which isn't even a blip in the universe, for you it's forever.


If you would like another perspective on radio active matters, i suggest you watch this:

There are also a number of nuclear plants that leak into rivers in the USA that empty into the oceans. Many of these leaks, when reported on often disappear, or vanish. This is yet another frustrating problem with researching this stuff.

The Missisppi River leak has been removed from YouTube several times, including a news report that was ripped off air. If anything is still left online it might only be on private bloggers' blogs.

Here's some: Cover-up, Private Document,

I want to go on record stating that I recall this leak, when it happened, and there were several areal helicopter footage, and satellite photos, and the entire area was made into a no fly zone of sorts. 

So, back to the Ocean current cycles, if you've actually followed ALL OF THAT, HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU STILL CONSCIOUSLY DECIDE TO EAT SEAFOOD?



Law Suit over Deep Sea Fish Omega 3 oil supplements:

* ABC News Report
* List of companies lying about their product
* The Plaintiff's website

I suggest searching for documents, and court papers on these types of legal issues.

There are other ways of getting Omega 3 fatty acid oils. You can eat grass fed beef, or emu. Emu oil has many properties to it that salmon or deep sea fish do not.
vegetarian sources of omega 3 include: walnut oils, and flax seed oils. the effects of these oils are not as potent or noticeable as those in animal sources such as salmon or other animal products because the molecular chains are longer in the animal based omeg 3 oils.

Permaculture

If cattle are of an environmental concern for you, which is often a comeback line for extremist vegetarians, I suggest you look up miniature cattle, and Permaculture. I have researched Permaculture since 2013.

Permaculture the ONLY sustainable method of food cultivation & production from vegetables to live stock, to lumber, to medical grade substances from plant or animal based produce & goods, but also materials for textiles.
 


Final notes:

 I personally find it pathetic that I should have to sit here for days and type up this blog entry because you're to ignorant, lazy and smug to bother looking it up for yourself. If you have a High School diploma, and/or a College degree you ought to be ashamed of yourself for not knowing any of this, and for acting like your claims are fact just because you say so, or you feel like it, or you just don't want to hear it.

Honestly, there are TONS AND TONS of much better other sources that way WAY BETTER than my MERE blog post, like text books, government agencies, educational organizations, universities, etc. But, your pathetic dumb ass wants to sit here and patronize me because you're too damned lazy?

Oh, what are you gonna do? Nitpick my blog entry?

Well, Like I said, there's WAY BETTER SOURCES OUT THERE THAN MINE. You only have your own smug, willfully arogant and ignorant jackass foolish self to blame for that.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make 'em drink.


And, if you don;t even bother to start looking it up, and don;t even have a knowledge in the subject then you're not even valid. you HAVE NO ARGUMENT. It's just hear-say and anecdotal.


Here's ANOTHER thing yet to ponder, since when I was studying Environmental Sciences I was taught CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.  (We actually had to write papers on this.) If you go to a school that has text books that have wrong information in them, but you are tested on this wrong information, and you get a degree based on that, you would have a degree of wrong information.  So, how do you know the information you are studying is true if you only have 1 source, and never checked it elsewhere? How do you know?

That was why we, as students, had to take daily measurements and document things like temperature, water samples, weather observations... you know... statistics. And, from that data we could make graphs, predictions, trends, averages, trends, correlations. You know... science? the Scientific Method... yeah, that sort of thing....
See also rigor method.
(This is a blog, not a science peer review journal. there's PLENTY OF THEM OUT THERE, so GO GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT THERE AND READ. DO SOME RESEARCH.)

Did you know YOU could actually do that YOURSELF? Just a thought.
A CHILD can do this.

(Rated NC-17) Full On Racism + Sexism Bigotry on Instagram

Honestly, WHAT is this world coming to?

I'm not bothered nor shocked that this is obviously pornography on Instagram which is against the rules. I'm not shocked by nudity or sexuality, altho' when it's unwanted sexual content, I hate it.

Honestly when I look at this, at first I just see 2 persons engaged in coitus. Whatever. Not anything I haven't even seen...

I would've just kept looking for other things whne I was searching for something unrelated and this guy came up...

The new stereotype with white males 30 years and older is this new trend in racism, and bigotry whether subtle, closeted, or full on, yet often in denial...

But, I noticed there was texts perked my curiosity. What does it say that this pale skinned dude has felt so compelled to share it. I figured it was just male hormones. Maybe something about getting some tail... I dunno....

So, I read it.

Holy shit balls!

The fact that this guy had darker skin didn't even phaze me, to the point that I didn't even notice. Honestly I always felt having more color to the skin on a male made him more sexually attractive, like at least a sun tan, or maybe an olive tone.

Women usually describe man they're attracted to as "tall, dark, and handsome" still to this day. And, I feel somehow the presence of the sight of his skin being not so pale seemed to enhance your high or climax when your younger and your hormones make you more attracted and open to casual sex like you're genetically programmed to be. But, I feel its so common for women to date men of all colors in my country. It's just so normal that it's not even an issue.

What wasn't shocking here was the sex, or the porn, nor it being 2 persons of different skin colors.  It wasn;t abnormal at all.

But, when I read the texts I was gobsmacked!

WTF did i just read????

People seem to sink to NEW LOWS constantly!

The graphic tells some kind of story of some chick on her prom ditching her prom date to hook up with a 1/4 back football player.

Teens doing off the wall sex things is not anything shocking. it's what teenagers apparently do, because a ton of teen I knew in high school did wild stupid things very similar around prom, like gang bangs which to us was shocking in 1997 or 1998, but I knew people from other high schools that were even crazier, and including my younger brother's generation that graduated after mine.

Honestly, who cares? The following year in college they're all gonna have sex with each other anyway, pretty much, because all the tabboos  will be out the window...

But, this graphic berates this girl for having sex with a black man, as tho' she's somehow ruined forever. WTF???

Not only is this OVERTLY and EXTREMELY RACIST, it's SEXIST to the MAX!

Not only that, but he "thinks it's funny".


WTF???

Oh, but it gets worse! Another guy at church sent it to him while he was IN CHURCH!

And, he wanted to tell everyone THAT!

REALLY?

And, the commenters thought it was humorous also!

This clearly sexist and racist graphic (which I think is just a fictional story) is FUNNY? This is Comedy to you, to be mocked??? REALLY????

*face-palm*

This isn't even subtle! Not in the least!


It's all about you, huh?

Whatever. I hope this chick had the time of her life, and it's a story she can brag about when she's old! Obviously whomever made this stupid graphic was FUCKING JEALOUS and has Freudian penis Envy. I hope this dude rocked her world! Go get it girl!

Closet Racism & Full On Bigotry: Stupid Shit People on my FB Feed Mindlessly Post 002

Oh, they're BACK at it AGAIN!

This has the facts skewed. Typical staw-man.

Prejudiced against a group of people based JUST on their ethnic, regional, and religious background from a standpoint of blind fear, and hate.

Also, these idiots know NOTHING about what a refugee actually is.

Also, Syed Farook conveniently omitted. The dude was AMERICAN.

There's some speculation that the woman was possibly suffering from a medical condition known as postpartum depression. And YES, women have been known to go pyscho and kill people whom are afflicted with this condition.

The guy that posted this went mental when I tried to address the issue. I thought perhaps he'd unthinkingly made a mistake. So, I wrote to him  explaining that he shouldn't stoop so low as to fall for this sort of thing. Then, I explained why.  I handled it calmly, nicely, politely, and maturely.

What happened after that was him doubling down then changing the subject as tho' to misdirect and dodge the issue.

I still replied explaining the errors of his statements.

First of all Syrians and Saudis are nothing alike. They're nowhere near the same. and, this was obviously a divisive propagandist piece using fear and terror to promote bigotry and hatred. Refugees are victims of terrorist's not terrorists themselves. Its a VERY clear distinction.

The only reason you would somehow lop them together, which makes no sense to anyone else in the world, would be if you were an ignorant bigot that was xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist full of hate and prejudice and not actual facts.

Not only that but the graphic leaves out Farook whom was an American. It's a red herring.

On top of that he throws in these statements about the president which have no corrilation at all unless you were a racist.

Now, if you weren't a racist, you wouldn't have racists ideas, you wouldn't have racists opinions, and you wouldn't do, say, think, or promote racist things. Not only that, but if you WERE NOT a racist and u posted racists things and someone addressed the issue as a friend to question it, you would actually listen, and you would feel bad and sorry.

He still kept dodging the issue, or changing the subject, and claimed I didn;t know what I was talking about.

See... when you do that, I prove what I'm talking about. I had a valid argument & point and he didn't.

So, I refuted everything, gave the proof, made the case and showed him up.

I was still being light about it... and originally, I didn't even want to get involved with this until I saw the comment by another person on this post... So, I know what it's like to be the lone person speaking reason when it's unpopular.

Not only that but this guy had been harassing me since he went out of his way to find me on FB in 2012. At first he was more towards the left, but eventually he started veering right wing over time...

The ironic thing was this was a person I personally knew since high school. and, he was nothing like this then, and seemed smarter then, so it put me off that he would do things without thinking...

and YES, this is a white male. It seems that white males in the USA once they've hit the age of 30 seem to go to the dark side and become sexist, racist, and  its starts subtlety, and they're closet racists, until it bubbles up and they become full on. Some are STILL in denial, where as others start to own up to it.... weird that they never "see the light" and "change their ways".


So, once I called addressed it and I restated the points, and called him out on his inconsistency instead of firing back right away SINCE HE HAD NO VALID POINTS NOR ARGUMENTS AND WAS CLEARLY MAKING A FOOL OVER HIMSELF AND WOULDN'T ADMIT WRONG, SEE REASON, AND WAS INCREDIBLY NARROW MINDED ON THE ISSUE, HE STAYED QUIET BECAUSE HE WAS BUSTED... but, he would come back later and try to spin it another way.

Now, this is what annoys the shit out of me!

These idiots want to blame being called racists as "PC Police" and try to say people are too caught up in being politically correct.... then turns it because he wants people to be politically correct to HIM!

political correctness was an old-school conservative approach to counter what was called "the culture war" often to criticize how young people had long hair, used slang, or were too flamboyant and unrestrained like rock stars whom could be rude, or hippies whom had orgies. It was to keep unkept people out of running for office, or to discredit wild things.

 By the 1980s and into the 1990s when it really caught on, political correctness was just being respectful, polite, fair, and hearing different sides of points of view and treating all people and opinions with respect, unless they were out of bounds, then you address the issue and discuss it, and everyone comes to terms with it. The point was to reduce the effect of offending people. It was about fairness.

Well, this guy, whom couldn't care less about being fair to any issue, nor refugees based on prejudice and wild speculations out of cowardice and no facts at all, had the gall to tell me that I wasn't being fair to him, that he'd be fair to me, and tries to spin the whole thing like he was some victim, meanwhile he was BUSTED. He was victimizing Syrian Refugees, through the entire nation of Saudi Arabia under the bus, through the President under the bus based on whatever prejudice he mentally had, and promoted bigotry.

How fair is that to people you don't even know?

Oh, that's right! It isn't fair! It's prejudice!

U have the GALL to want people to treat YOU politically correct and be tolerant of YOUR hatred but u can't tolerate facts, or people different from u?

At this point, I realized he didn't give a shit about the facts, because he was so narrow minded in his hate and vitriol, as tho' somehow his view of himself was better than everyone.

So, I called him out on this.

Either u realize u did something by mistake, and your sorry, ergo you're not actually racist but you did something without thinking it through. Or, you're a closet racist.

So which are you?

He was silent still for a while,

But, then he got angry that I called him out on being a racist or a bigot.

He was angry about this.

So, again, I made the case.
You discriminated on people based on their nationality, race, religion, and prejudice.

Come-on! Ur busted! So, which is it?

U can't refute it when ur guilty.

They get SO ANGRY when you call them out on it.

He kept denying it, dodging it, changing the subject.

He wanted to spin it like it was about freedom of speech.

Well, that's an INTERESTING POINT!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP!

Yes. You HAVE the right to FREE SPEECH! Including RACISM and HATE SPEECH. if you WANT to promote racism, and RACIST ideas, that's BECAUSE YOU ARE RACIST. So, you have that right to do that (altho' it's against FB's rules on FB) but if ur promoting racists propaganda then WHY are you upset about owning up to BEING a racist if you ARE ONE?

I told him he needed to "do some soul searching". I told him to let go of his hate and to really self evaluate.

He went quiet again....

Then, he tried to restate is AGAIN but instead of trying to wriggle out of the fact that he's being racists as "free speech" now he was like "well, it's my opinions, and if you don't like it, you can unfriend me."

So, once he did this, the kid gloves were OFF!

Honestly, at this point, I KNEW this guy was not only a Closet Racist, but a FULL ON RACIST & BIGOT, and STILL in DENIAL about it.

Yeah, it's YOUR OPINIONS. The OPINIONS that YOU are SHARING and PROMOTING. They are RACIST, PREJUDICED, BIGOTED, XENOPHOBIC, HATE SPEECH OPINIONS.

WHY would you have racists opinions if ur NOT a racist?

Do non-racists persons have racists opinions????

HELLO????? ANYBODY HOME IN THAT BRAIN OF YOURS?

And, he STILL denied he was a racist after that.

This his little, ignorant lacky bitch suck-up came in to try and do some spin... this chcick CLEARLY had NO IDEA what the hell she was talking about!

So, I ripped into her.

That was SO EASY. TOO easy. What a moron!

She also tried to spin it like it was somehow claiming "free speech" and "opinion" somehow nullifies all racism from being racism...

COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL!


Oh, here's THE MOST COMMON excuses people use to avoid admitting they're racist:

I'm not a racist because:

* I have black (or insert ethnic group here) friends
       (Really, why don't u make ur racists rants n posts SET TO PUBLIC? tag ur "black friends" right now, and let's see what THEY have to say about things you say) 
* I work with diverse people
      (Really? How about u MAKE THIS POST SET TO PUBLIC and tag ur coworkers and ur boss, and lets see what they think.)
* I fucked a person of a different ethnicity than me
* I get a boner when I look at Beyonce' (therefore I can say and do anything racists and I'm scot-free from ever actually being a racists so don't call me that)
* I have Michael Jackson albums (Therefore I can say racists stereotypes without thinking and use derogatory words and statements and it doesn't count as racism)
* I watch Westley Swipes and Will Smith movies (so whenever I say something racist it doesn't count)
* I eat international foods
* Ono of my relatives/ancestors is Native American or Latino (so somehow they can discriminate on anyone and it doesn't count)

Here's another common one to dodge it:

I'm not racist, BUT _______________ (then says something based on stereotypes, fears, prejudice, and is full on racist... however, they might try to either say it in a calm voice like that makes it better, or they're in a WILD LOUD RANT)


I was actually VERY CIVIL when i first started this, but HE started doing "name calling" and then accused me. I called him out on how he now had no moral high ground. But, by the time the gloves came off, I ripped into him, and his lil' bitch with full on snark.

Instead of going the way I had been going, I was incredibly sarcastic. Something he actually THOUGHT he was somehow good at... until I pulled out THE SNARK.

and, when he tried to leverage the relationship as something to use like a bargaining chip to never question anything, I realized I did NOT want to be friends with this person.


But, instead of ME being the one to make that move first, I wanted to see how much he would take. He kept saying he was done talking, or it was a waste of time... and would go quiet, but also adding in a whole bunch on nonsense.

So, when people SAY they're DONE and they won't say/type anymore, or that its a waste of time, I often go full on and refute it in full, because I figure they'll ignore it, but anyone else whom might see it could see the facts, and see how he was behaving.

But, they can;t help it! They read at least some of it, which makes them look even more bad.

I wanted to drive this jerk to either admit he was a racist, or to delete me, because he was too much of a punk ass coward little bitch. usually when people try to threaten ending a relationship its because they're afraid you will, or because they're too cowardly. Honestly, I wondered WHY he hadn't already deleted me because it dragged on for hours...

well, his little bitch put in her -2cents since she's got marbles missing also... she also called me a feminist like somehow that meant something to here, which had NOTHING to do with the topics, and clearly had no clue what a feminist was. This ignorant bint was like: oh just delete her.

So, I called her a hypocrite that defends racism and bigotry, even tho' she denied it and said she was standing up for his free speech and opinions... yeah free speech about racism & bigotry which no one is attacking but calling out ur denial of being a racist.

I don't WANT to be connected with racists. No thank you.


So, I ripped in.

They did the whole ad hominem which is typical of ignorant people whom have no valid argument so they attack you instead. Then they accuse you of being stupid, and not not what your talking about, even tho' you've demonstrated you actually know way more, make valid point and pose question that they won;t even answer.

So, I pinned him on that. Why don't u answer the question?
Just own up to it.

Then, finally, he deleted me.

Bye bitch!

I really don't need these types of persons connected to me. I TRY to talk sense to them. I'm reached out to them. And, I'm really good about it. But, they escalate this to madness!

At this point in my life. I'm just done with them.

I cannot be friends with people whom have the same ideas as the KKK, or Neo Nazis.
It reflects badly upon me.

I suggest you start to call them out as well.


I feel completely RELIEVED to have rid myself of this person....

During that exchange, this punk seemed to refer to himself as some kind of outspoken person. Funny how the internet gives people this false sense of being somehow larger than life, or brave.

His lil' lacky there was like this guy has been outspoken for a long time.

Honestly I knew this punk before she did. I went to HIGH SCHOOL with this punk.

We had the SAME Social Studies classes, the SAME English classes and read all the same novels together.

This punk was NO OUTSPOKEN ANYTHING. He was a mousy, quiet, little guy.

I was the bold person. I got bullied a lot but I always stayed true to myself and dressed how I wanted. This guy would run away from any sign of a conflict.

If this guy was SO BOLD and OUTSPOKEN, then how come I have NO MEMORY of it whatsoever?

That's right! 

BECAUSE IT'S BULLSHIT! 

P-LEASE! 

I think at first he was a a coward to delete me sooner because he often trolled my FB wall.

This guy harassed me a lot the last 2 years.... much of it was subtle punk-ass, shady stuff... pushing that line. Which was probably WHY I put up with him.

He has his ass handed to him earlier this week when some of my friends refuted him while I was working.

Altho' some folks think he had some kind of mis-placed crush issues on me... I seriously doubt that. Let's NOT even go there. I'm kind old now....

Closet Racism & Full On Bigotry: Stupid Shit People on my FB Feed Mindlessly Post

Closet Racism & Full On Bigotry: Stupid Shit People on my FB Feed Mindlessly Post 

How does someone post something like THIS, and still DENY they're a racist????

How do u NOT see how FLAMING RACIST this is?

You HATE Syrians.

You hate the president, and you want to take it out on them, and anyone that agrees with him, or in being a decent human being?

You want to take out your hatred of the president out on innocent refugees? 

It's friggin' mental!

Did you actually think this was clever?
Did you actually pat yourself on the head for this hideous, hateful, extremely racist graphic?

This one is REALLY jaw dropping! I saw this one, and I was FLOORED.

This is FULL ON flaming racist! It's not even subtle. It's EXTREME. This is also what my ex-friend deleted me over, because when I pointed out it was racist, she KNEW she was guilty.

But, instead of admitting it, she did a cowardly move, and bitched about being called a racist, but STILL deleted it ANYWAY.

If you share racist things, RACIST opinions, and agree with them, IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE A RACIST.

How do you even look at yourself in the mirror after posting this and DENY what a hateful bigot you are?

And, THIS was the other one.

Not only did her husband also a friends I knew since WAY BACK, doubled down and posted this.

This one ALSO includes the dialogue we had.

The guy was SO SMUG about it, that he doubled down and had the gall to say that I was name calling, and ALSO didn't want to be called a Racist.

What closet racists always say: 'I have black friends" so that somehow is a free pass to say everything racist without ever admitting it.

Really? Why don;t u tag ur black friends, and see what they have to say about it?

Oh? You don't want to do that?

Huh... that's WEIRD, I wonder why u won;t do that...

SO, yet again, another lackey shows up spouting complete nonsense.

I'm NOT even making this stuff up.

<---<<< U can see it!

I edited NOTHING except blurred the culprits' names, and avatars.

This guy STILL thinks he's NOT a Racist.

This one is EVEN MORE BEYOND the pale.

This one apparently asserts some kind of racist stereotype joke.

Why would a person who wasn't a bigot post something like this?

Oh, that's right! If someone wasn't a racist, they would NEVER post something like this!

So, what kind of person would post something like this, then?

Oh, let me think... Gee, I wonder...

BTW, this man is white.

Then we have this one. This is another FLAMING RACIST meme that's PRO GENOCIDE.

It's a racist meme from Allen West.

So, Yes. I DO know whom Allen West is. he's a paid shill for the extremest right. (Sometimes referred to as an "Uncle Tom", which hearkens back to some black slave men whom were like like slave lords whom would oppress his own people because he wanted status or rewards or pay. yes, I'm aware that it's debatable whether it's an appropriate term or not, and is controversial.)

But, let's get this strait. If Allen West Says or does something racist, does that somehow nullify the racism of it?

No. It does not. The color of your skin has nothing to do, logically, with a point if the point is a bigoted, racist one.

To be clear. the Syrians are a DIFFERENT race than ALLEN WEST, a different culture, a different religion, and are a displaced group of a different nationality than that of Allen West. he is also likening THEM, ignorantly and not based on any facts but fear instead, to those whom terrorized them.

AND, it's using multi colored M&Ms.

Think about that.

Then, there was this chick. I honestly forgot how I'd even become friends with this person, but her stuff was all up in my feed....

I thought, maybe this chick was someone I maybe played FB games with several years back...

But, she started going way off the deep end today, and I couldn't make sense of whatever she wrote or shared all week...

Sometimes, she seemed somewhat leftist, and other times right wing... more and more, it was right winger... she also couldn't make up her mind whether she was pro or anti Tea Party.
(I think she has voices in her head kinda deal... :-/ because it reads that way in much of what she wrote on her FB profile)

Was it some kind of medical issue? Like a personality malfunction? If so, I hate to be harshly judgmental.

So, I went to her profile, to check to see who was on the "mutual friends" list. Apparently some of her "mutual friends" with me were crazed nut-jobs. (Sorry... maybe they were medical cases... I'm sorry)

But, then a many of them were "spiritual" types and "New Agers". You know, Joy-joy, have, love, peace, angels, crystals, and all that... (I used to be big time into that when I was in my teens & 20s.) So, I decided to check through more of her posts....

I just don't have the heart to even share those.... *long sigh*

She thinks somehow God is playing chess with everything, and she also worships Ted Cruz. She's out for blood over Trump, and she can't make up her mind on anything....

I dunno.... I feel bad... because to me, it just seemed like her mind was out to lunch... I really don;t want to be harshly judgmental, but I also felt it wasn't a good idea to keep this person as a FB "friend". So, since everyone is all delete-happy, or unfriend happy... I had to can her, and her other nutty friends... :(

It just wasn't working out....

I could SEE she had sane friends on her FB list, but only the nuts were talking to her.... Sorry... maybe I shouldn't call people nuts if they have a medical issue... but, they had to go. :(

 And, this is another one of those typical, insidiously made meme graphics that use typical propagandist tricks. They use this sort of idea to hide their racism & bigotry behind.

This stuff is also totally made up.

Not that there aren't misfortune veterans that are homeless, but the bills to help them won't pass.

This one isn't as brazen as others that strait up condone genocide.

But, I attempted to to have a conversation to rectify this and he, and about 5 other persons after denying they were racists, then told me they condoned genocide.

Genocide is RACISM. 

It's blind hatred.

There was also the whole Michael Moore thing... so, this article comes out about how he's offering up his home to refugees... Sounds great, right?

-but, it might actually be it's not even his own house, but his ex-wife's, and maybe all for show....

So, I don't know what to make of that... it was an odd conversation....




And, that's my screwy reality of my life right now.....

Stupid Shit People on my FB Feed Say: Xenophobia and Full On Racism & Fascism

Xenophobia and Full On Racism & Fascism
(Keep scrolling down)

Story of a Closet Racist (one of several coming out or on the fence)

If my last blog post wasn't alarming and disturbing enough, I think this one will take the taco.

So, I think this is the turning point.... mark this day November the 20th 2015 is the Day Most White Americans turned not only full on RACIST, but also became Pro Fascist Radicals.

What? you think I'm playin'? You think I'm kidding?
You think this is hyperbole?


Here's the deal, if you post and share things which are RACIST, because you AGREE with them, and you LIKE THEM, it's BECAUSE YOU ARE A RACIST.

So, as I start to watch my FB feed become this hideous cesspool of festering HATE of people whom I knew since I was very young, I became quuite concerned.

At first I thought (benefit of the doubt) maybe they're probably just misguided, being reactionary, and acting hysterical without realizing what they're doing....

But, it just became worse and worse... and even women.

So, i asked my friend, because I was concerned. I asked her if she was a racist now.  A simple question. because she posted something incredibly vile and extremely racist.

Then, I scrolled down and saw something else she posted EVEN MORE RACIST that that. they were BOTH full on racist. So, I asked her again: So, when did you become a racist?

I tried to reason with her that maybe she should know what she was doing, and think things through before that.... but, as the posts were flying, it was OBVIOUS she was turned. She was NOW a racist...

If she wasn't racists, wouldn't she just say: Whoops! I guess I got carried away... or, Oh, I hadn't realized that...

This SAME person LOVES to invoke God, country, and Jesus, and just had a baby.


Instead of replying to me, she (like a coward) writes a post about how she was "annoyed" at being called a Racist. Then, she said if people didn't like what she shared to unfriend her. Then at the VERY END, she slaps in a sentence about how "I apologize for the post".

So, which is it? Are you Sorry, in which case you're were being thoughtless and hadn't realized what you did, or are you ANNOYED about being called out for being racist?

So, I went over and asked her. So, which is it?
If you're sharing pro racism rhetoric, are you are aren't you a racist?

because for all I KNOW it COULD be a misunderstanding...

But, her lacky butt-kisser apologist friend comes over and starts spewing the same kind of thing defending her. And says if someone didn't like her opinion you couldn't call her a racist.

But, if you're SPREADING, SHARING, and PROPAGATING RACIST THINGS, and YOU LIKE THOSE THINGS, and you AGREE WITH THOSE THINGS, which are FULL ON RACIST, then WHY are you upset at being CALLED RACIST if you ARE ONE?

Because people whom are NOT RACIST never do this.

But, instead of having a mature, civil discussion, she not only unfriended me, she blocked me.

Why? Because you might ACTUALLY be a closet racist?
 If ur a racist, then own up to it. Because I need to know, and you ought to be up front, and not tip-toe around, because I don;t want to be associated with racists.

But, like a coward spaz, she blocked me.

So, after that her husband whom I've known since WAY BACK does this same cowardly thing, and posts a mindless apology/defence of her. So, I'm go over there and called it out. This time, I posted ALL of the proof to back it up at once. I've not heard a single reply.



Yes, today is THE DAY when I realized that people had been primed and brainwashed for a while, bit by bit, into Xenophobic blind, narrow minded hatred, and cultivated as closet racists for a while... and, this week was the week when it all came out.

Yesterday was a horrific day, because not only are people showing their TRUE COLORS of RACISM FULL ON NOW but also praising the deaths of innocent people.

I NEVER thought I'd LIVE to see such a day.

If you thought THAT was bad... it kept on going the entire day long, and the night, and this morning....

America has sunk into a new low.

Some Samples:

Let's start with this one. this is a popular one with Tea-baggers, gun-nuts, White Supremacists, xenophobes, racists. (Yes, I looked it up, I didn't just make it up.)

This is totally a made-up graphic. it is NOT TRUE AT ALL.

The ONLY reason you wouldn't think to CHECK would be if you're racist, bigoted, xenophobic, or Islamophobic and you LIKE this idea.

Well, it is not true AT ALL. LINK


Do you know how many times I've watched belly dance videos on YouTube from Japan by persons whom were Islamic? I lost count... You can also get Halal food in Japan of many varieties.

And, this marks yet another NEW LOW. Isolationism. Pro Isolationism...

You realized Nixon (A Republican went TO CHINA to undo THEIR Isolationism and open up their borders and markets, right? 















But, wait! It gets worse:

This was POPULAR THEME yesterday, no doubt dreamed up by Right Wing Think tanks.

So, since one group of people (whom you actually don;t care about at all) doesn't get something, you NEVER want to do ANY act of kindness ever again, unless it's in ur own special interests?

You know whom would understand what a civilian refugee's been through in a war, it ought to be a veteran...






There's just no getting around JUST how racist this TRULY IS.

It kinda looks more like a bunch of people going to a soccer stadium... But, what do I know?

Talk about False Equivalency!

NO, it's pretty heartless.... they're refugees after all...

And, yet again with the FALSE EQUIVALENCY.


















And here it comes again:

 Wow. Did you think u were especially CLEVER in reusing this SAME false equivalency over and over again?

Did you post that all like:

Oh, I bet I showed them! 
Yeah! Justified my racism/xenophobia/Islamophobia! 

Did u want a medal or something? ur PROUD of being callus & cruel? Really?















Here's yet another False Equivalency:

See how they try to use your fears against you, to manipulate you? 

This is also SO STRAIT up RACIST. 

It's FLAMING racist. Full on. 

You realize this is terrorist type wording, right? 

WTF r u SO affraid of?

Muslims tend to be pretty harmless....
























And then, there was THIS! It completely takes the taco! 

Strait up Pro Fascism! 

You think I'm making this up?


Have a look:

Completely radicalized, and blinded by hate, fear, prejudice.

If you DON'T know what Fascism is, I IMPLORE you to look it up RIGHT NOW. LINK


Not only that, but these person actually (after denying it it) strait up told me they thought I SHOULD become Islamaphobic, and I'd be better off.

People STRAIT up admitted they ENJOYED the deaths of their children. Including a marine.


So, this is what my life is like on FB.


If anyone HASN'T deleted, blocked, of banned me for speaking up for the right things. Once some folks came out as racists, directly or indirectly, I dumped them.


You'll never drag me down to your level deep in the cesspool....

I'm not a bigot like you, and I never will be.

This day JUST STARTED, too!

I've been up since 6:45 AM....

************

Edit: 2:55 PM

Well, it looks as tho' I'm NOT the only person experiencing this.

Some people, I guess, still DO EXIST that are STILL in touch with their humanity and are ALSO loosing friends left & right to this mindless propaganda of hate, racism, fear, prejudice, and Xenophobia.

I read this article and I was like: OMG! Me too!
I feel EXACTLY the same way! LINK

Stupid Mindless Shit People on my FB Feed Say: Xenophobic Irrational Mindless Prejudices

Stupid Mindless Shit People on my FB Feed Say: 
Xenophobic Irrational Mindless Prejudices
11/14/2015


Ironically, terrorism and massacres happen quite a bit in my country, but people are becoming SO indifferent to it. I've lost count of how many mass shootings went down this year. I happen to recall things happening in Australia and Norway also, but I just can't even keep track mentally of when it happened... Sure, I could search it on google or other search engines, but it's really depressing enough as it is, and I don't have the physical, nor mental energy to do so... I can barely muster up enough to even type & publish this.

So, here we are... yet again.... a sample of the enormously stupid, ignorant, mindless things that persons whom I personally know/knew share, without thinking it through, on FB, based on hate, prejudice, xenophobia, racism,  or as some excuse to play God.


Here's one that's pro isolationism and clearly xenophobic. 
You realize this actually promotes terror and feeds it just by sharing this publicly, right?
No, they should know that, since I remember these persons from the previous century, but have been so prepped n groomed to be reactionary by fear-based propaganda.

"United we stand, divided we fall" right?
Well, this will definitely divide people. It's not like your trying to get together, like a mature, civil human being, talk things out, listen, find the root causes,, find the solutions, hear out the other sides...

Do you have ANY idea how STUPID this sounds? How stupid this looks? How stupid it makes YOU seem?

No, why would you?
You're just reacting mindlessly..... *face-palm*

 Ya can't even make this stuff up. As a young adult i NEVER thought I'd see the day that people would behave like this. And, I'm NOT talking about the terrorists. We had terrorism last century.... but, people didn't react to it in such an insane, mindless way, like this.


And, here's another one....

*face-palm*

If the whole idea of Lady Liberty, a seemingly benevolent symbol of a character based on the artist's mother (is I recall correctly) isn't ridiculous enough to be depicted as waging war (yes, pro war imagery) the lil' blurb written here is even more over the top...

I kind of wonder what Gustave Eiffel would think of this.... 


As the whole event went down last night, i was the very first person in my ENTIRE FB feed to inform anyone about this. And, I was also very active early in the evening. 

So, it's not that I don;t, or didn't care. I actually felt shocked because almost the entire evening it seemed as tho' no one cared at all.... and were very nonchalant... 

It rubbed me very wrong... 

But, by 2AM I did start to see images and positive messages on Instagram, and not just twitter, because Twitter was a blaze with this stuff. But, FB wasn't.

However, this morning, everyone got on board with this, and all started to change their profile photos to red, white, and blue French stripes. 

Yet, what many people began to share was stupid shit like this. 


No one speaking against terrorism.
No one speaking up for peace.

It's not some random thing.

There was a motive behind this. Terrorists don't just do theses things for no reason. 

The West has been invading, bombing, robbing, and killing the east for decades now....

You don't ACTUALLY thinking they "just hate us 'cause they hate us" bull shit, do you? 

You don't ACTUALLY still believe that bullshit about how "they hate us for our freedoms" do you? 

And, you want us to make MORE WARS? 

How have any of these wars worked out so far? 

Oh, that's right! We're worse than ever! And, I'm willing to wager that THIS event is connected some wrong(s) we've done to them, causing these terrorists to go friggin' nuts, and retaliate. 

War doesn't SOLVE problems. and those "freedoms" you think you love will get smothered if you start becoming an isolationist, and lock ourselves in.

* Edit: And I thought THIS was bad.... wait until you see my next blog post...

Essena O'Neil Social Media Hoax (Thoughtful Blog Post)

This is a story that makes me feel really sad.

I don't know what is going on this person's mind, but she's still a person.

It seems, to me, like she's going through some kind of nervous breakdown melt-down.

She told a number of things about herself, her life, her work, and other people, and framed it as fake, that social media is fake, and that she was surrounded by wealth, she was some kind of star, and that people were miserable.

But, as it started to continue on, and she said she was doing something new or different with her life... it still seemed shady, and things started to come out that either she made it up, or in her mind somehow she re-imagined herself and her life, and her experiences to be NOT anything like what happened in reality....

So, let's begin here:

This happened:

This young model put out a video which seems very genuine, emotional, and seemingly heart-felt, and even cries. 

She alleges so many things.

Then, she changed her Instagram photos with new captions, or alegedly deleted some.
She also claimed she was quitting social media, by starting a new social media website.

There's a total disconnect there... just sayin'...


She also published this with a number of allegations about those whom created it with her:

Following this, people seemed to think that what she was doing was respectable, brave, inspiring, and completely ate it all up as tho' it were totally true, as tho' it were a total expose'.

Meanwhile, there was also a major backlash once she started to gain attention and a lot of praises for doing what she seemed to be doing. That, she was doing something positive, meaningful, and truth-telling...

Several folks speculated or commented on the story:

The story its self seemed to be a little wonky... because she was still doing social media, and flat out said she was manipulating, deceiving, and lying to people.... and accused nameless people of this even worse than herself, and even mentioned a relationship with someone, and that she had been to L.A.

However, it turns out she was not actually exposing truth, but making stuff up...

So, this happened:

Here's another one:

After watching this video, these 2 girls divulged that they were friends with her, and that she never came to L.A. to work, nor on a job, and she had no work visa. She came to L.A. on a vacation, and stayed with THEM for free, that they picked her up, and they it was lots of fun.

They claimed that she met someone whom she dated for a while while there, and then it ended, and after that relationship ended she completely changed and started dissing everyone. They claimed that when she was first there, she was so happy, and "on a high" like she was incredibly joyful.

Well, if there was ONLY this video to go on, you could still say it was their word against her's. And, that would've totally fine.

However...... Essena apparently couldn't keep track of her own lies....

The photo she alleged was hours worth of shooting, and effortless, and edited actually turned out to be a bogus story....

And this is what happened:

The actual photographers of that photo was one of the 2 girls whom were her friends and their brother, at least according to them on their part they believed her to be their friend.

The father of these young people even showed the metadata of actual photographs and the entire photo set.

One thing I often hear about Millennials, and even Americans, is that they are fake, pretentious, immature, cruel, and buffoons. However, these young people, on their own, actually appear to be conducting themselves quite maturely. They seemed to genuinely care about Essena, and even seem to be as gentle about the matter as they can, which makes it seem as tho' inside their hearts they still viewed her as a friend, and even tried to give her the benefit of the doubt because she had a bad breakup. They demonstrated empathy, sympathy, but still firmly and maturely stated their objections.

The father also demonstrated this same kind of kindness, and mature, and showed the proof in a matter of fact way, while still being gentle and kind about it, which makes me also seem to think he also sympathizes with her apparent mental melt down.


I said this story makes me feel very sad, because it really is a sad story.

I've also been to L.A. myself and I can tell you that many people are incredibly kind, and offer to share their couch or sofa, or bed, and often do kind hearted deeds without ever asking for something in return. I've met many kind people in Hollywood, on Labrea, in Century City, Melrose, and Beverly hills, including policemen. Altho' I did have some bad experiences also, on a daily basis it's generally a place where everyone has it very hard, and they all have this shared experience, and many creative people help each other, because it' so expensive, and so difficult to get ahead anywhere there.

It does seem as tho' Essena had a number of things which occurred, like culture shock, being outside of her comfort zone, having to depend on the kindness of others, contemplating whom she really was, and has a traumatic experience since relationship break-ups are very intense.

Perhaps (speculating), she really did have some kind of nervous breakdown, and her psyche/ego reinvented the entire experience and memories into something else that made it easier for her psyche/ego to deal with, so she felt vulnerable, and felt she wanted to lash out and attack.

Perhaps, she realized that she was being ingenuine, and fake, and felt guilty, which she even admitted, but somehow in her mind, in order to cope with it she blamed and projected all of these things she was guilty of onto her friends.


I realize that many people feel angry, upset, and want to shame her. And, in a way she does deserve it... however, I think you need to keep a number of factors in mind, because she is VERY YOUNG, and clearly not as mature as her friends, and she's just had a very traumatic experience. So, it's not quite as black & white as she's some kind of evil being.... she screwed up. She screwed up big time.

In my country we call this "burning your bridges".
You really DON'T want to do that unless there's an absolute reason to do so.... but, here it appears that she's burning the bride while she's STILL ON THE BRIDGE.

I think there is so much to learn from this. Clearly just being a vegan didn't make her a great person, because she is still stuck in the quicksand of her own making, and it's not good. But, as it seems from the perspectives so far that the other persons were far more genuine, and good or kind hearted.

Many persons don't know how to deal with someone whom is truly kind, nice, and genuine, and I myself have also been attacked by persons I went above & beyond, and far out of my way to help because I cared. Somehow, this seems to make their psyche/ego feel threatened, even tho' their was no reason to be, because they felt guilty or inadequate and tried to measure up somehow, which is the major pitfall of meritocracy.  Always feeling u need to measure up to something.

Altho' in my heart I do feel sorry for these persons, and take pity on them, I don't want to say this in a dismissive way as to put them down.

Sometimes we as human beings have "a human failing" or a flaw.
It doesn't mean we can't overcome, correct, or learn from them...

I would however, hate to see this person, Essena hurt herself over this terrible mistake.

I do hope she walks the path of a more genuine life, but not one started based on premises of lies and deceit. And, again, I truly don't want to pick on her.

Sometimes people catch a cold, and they get sick, and they need to get well... maybe it's just like that. She needs to heal, and get well....

But, I don't think berating her is the right thing to do.


All of these persons whom came out about it actually still seem to be a friend in their hearts to this girl, and somehow I'd like to believe that they'd actually forgive her, because they seemed to want to talk it out with her. That's VERY mature, and responsible, and the civil thing to do. I just can't see those persons as hateful or even resentful at all, and Essena clearly hurt them. I they did say she should apologize to them, and they were in the right.

Essena, maybe you should talk it out with your friends whom really seem to have cared about you.
Maybe what you really need is some very good medical help and therapy to get through all of this.
Maybe it really doesn't need to be this bad.

Maybe the world really isn't that bad.

Maybe you could fix it if you tried.

I think, deep down inside, you'd probably feel happier if you did try to make amends for this mistake.

I hope you can truly work this out, because everything is swirling down a drain right now....


Won't you try to heal it?
