Stop working for the banking system and start representing the people who's right to our own money supply is inherit to our freedom as a nation. Stop peddling opportunist strategies in order to gain support from those who you don't need support from. You only need support from the people and it is your sole duty as a public servant to represent the interests of the collective within this country no matter where they are in the socio-economic or intellectual/educational ladder. This is your duty as public servant.

Trump 2016
A lot of people are badmouthing Donald Trump left and right but I think there is more to this guy than meets the eye or the ears for the many soundbites the media likes to inject when making a particular argument for or against this man.
For one thing Donald Trump is a master brander who has created a massive empire with many different assets to attribute to the Trump brand. This requires a lot of work ethic and astute business acumen in order to create. Many people like to say that this is not the case citing bankruptcies of different assets that he created. But the truth is these were novelty cases that run their course in doing business no matter who you are.
Another thing they like to mention is that he is sexist and racist. Well I don't know if those things are true or not. What I do know is that his policy for border control makes sense and is not in the least bit racist. He states that he wants to deport all illegal aliens and that makes sense as a country founded on laws. I mean if you're going to have laws and enforce them why not enforce them? Instead of the half ass approach we as a country have taken towards border control. Why not actually create a substantial border and enforce the existing laws of this country? Makes sense to me.
As far as being sexist? I mean that is just a blatant judgment on somebody who has been married several times and seems to respect women in normal conversation just as much as men.

Sexual Programming
When I was a young child around 5-6 years old I was instilled with the programming that women made the moves when it comes to sexuality. The reason this happened is because my cousin 'made all the moves' sexually speaking or was the original initiator of any sexuality between us from the beginning. So therefore I have the programming that women are supposed to come to me. The dire result of this programming is almost never meeting a woman that is actually interested in me because typically in society men do the initiating in any discourse or dialogue that may lead to sex. I was programmed the exact opposite of how the majority of society operates. This is a conundrum for obvious reasons. There are not that many women with equally similar programming where they go after the man they are interested in or attracted to.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are supposed to come to me because of what happened in my childhood in how my cousin came to me.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are the initiators of sexual cues of attraction.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are the initiators of any sexuality.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are the vain of existence.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are always just spiting me.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are in a constant state of war with me.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women hate and despise me and rather are looking for a badass than someone who actually is gentle, caring, and sympathetic.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women exist in a constant state of spite towards good men.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that women are evil.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that good women will not be interested in sex with me.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that good women won't ever initiate contact with me.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the belief that I will never be able to go after a good looking woman.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the fear of speaking to a good looking woman.

The War on Drugs
The theme of the "War on Drugs" is a very deceitful campaign and you can see the deceit within the words. War on Drugs makes no sense by itself as if drugs are the culprit for societies problems. This is a very misleading war because drugs by themselves don't hurt people. People hurt people and they don't have to be on drugs to be capable of such things. The "War on Drugs" is actually a "War on People Who Use Drugs" plain and simple because drugs don't do themselves.
It is estimated that drug use prevalence has stabilized around the world with about 243 million people using illegal drugs in 2012 alone(2). With a stable prevalence of drug use remaining at around 5% of the world's population it is clear to say that drugs are here to stay and will always be a subject of use and abuse as evidenced by the staggering failure to disseminate drugs or drug users from using these purportedly harmful substances with purportedly absolutely no medical value.
The U.S. harboring only 2% of the world's population but yet yielding 25% of prison population with half of those being convicted for non-violent offenses such as illegal drug possession or trafficking, is blatant example of how the U.S. is not the authority or leader in setting an example for treating its drug users.
People forget that these are people we are talking about. They aren't ideas like the drug war. Its about ideas about drugs, drug use, and what curtails drug use instead of cold hard facts or evidence. This war is based on the assumption "Drugs are bad and causes violence therefore drug users are violent offenders of the law" which is clearly disseminated by the lack of causal evidence linking drug use to violent crime or other abuses. Yet alcohol still remains the number one culprit for violence in all fashions and abuse in many forms.
If you could omnipresently convict every drug user or a person involved in drug dealing/trafficking in the U.S. you could omnipresently convict about 10% of the entire U.S. population ages 12 and older ever year. Does America really think thats smart policy making? Automatically putting 10% of its population behind bars simply from the non-violent act of consuming a drug?
In this whole debacle of the "War on Drugs" there are many casualties including the lives of these people and their families. Isn't it just bad policy making in the end? It doesn't work and it ruins lives. Not to mention the obvious casualties that comes from its profitably relative to illegality. Since drugs are illegal they are also not regulated as drugs with any medical value therefore they are not administered to patients unless under the nose of the law. This is a travesty in itself. While millions of people are on prescription drugs with harmful side effects, these illicit or illegal drugs are deemed to have no value whatsoever in the medical community while the human demand for these substances remains steady. Why? In my knowledge and experience as a human being on this planet I would say that people use illegal drugs much to same degree and same reasons as are common prescription drugs are used for just in a different form.
There are a number of things ending the "War on Drugs" would do.
1. Generate billions in tax revenues for taxing and regulating these substances.
2. Provide an avenue of support for people in need to be able to safely consume these substances under medical supervision for treatment in various symptoms and/or disorders such as depression and anxiety.
3. Keep non-violent people out of prisons which costs the taxpayers billions of dollars.
4. Provide a more stable fabric in society with the riddance of gangs and cartels that primarily seek power through money gained through the highly lucrative business of selling drugs.
5. Keep the money out of the pockets of potentially violent criminals and into the pockets of people running legitimate businesses.
6. End the violence associated with the highly lucrative nature of the drug trade.
7. Keep families and lives in tact who would otherwise be subject to the unjust nature of the policy of the war on drugs.
8. Create a more open and accepting fabric of society.
9. End the racial discrimination involved with the incarceration of drug war offenders.
10. Create a more just and fair world where taking into account what is best for all is the best way to make public policy.
I'll leave you with a quote:
"The main obstacle to getting black America past the illusion that racism is still a defining factor in America is the strained relationship between young black men and police forces. The massive number of black men in prison stands as an ongoing and graphically resonant rebuke to all calls to 'get past racism,' exhibit initiative, or stress optimism. And the primary reason for this massive number of black men in jail is the War on Drugs. Therefore, if the War on Drugs were terminated, the main factor keeping race-based resentment a core element in the American social fabric would no longer exist. America would be a better place for all."(1).
