After that, I went into search engine optimization, then running my own blog search engine, my own blog network, etc. But the one thing I’ve gotten more satisfaction out of than anything else was creating my own personal development & business ebooks, reports and other products and marketing them to others.

For the past three years, however, I haven’t been doing much in the way of writing or marketing, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been sitting idle. I’ve been doing intense, deep research into the inner workings of the human mind – in particular – how the mind is manipulated by less than scrupulous individuals and organizations, from scamsters to governments and the mainstream media.

It’s been a rough road for me personally over those three years. The first year was spent as a journalist writing for two online news sites. It’s where I had a chance to do real investigation and honed my research skills. Plus it gave me a good taste of how corrupt the mainstream media actually is. The second year was spent dabbling in various things but any spare time and late nights I had were spent studying conspiracy theories, digging in to hidden and forgotten documents and generally trying to wrap my mind around what is actually happening in this crazy world of ours.

The third year, 2011 is probably the most interesting year I’ve ever had in terms oflearning about myself. I had spent 2 years pulling back the curtain and seeing the wizard that no one else would admit was there even though they could see him with their own eyes. The mind is a funny thing that way – people will believe the grim reaper is a big cuddly friend even though he’s raising his axe above their heads and swinging it.

For the first few months of 2011 I sat in horror at how oblivious people are. But I also realized one important thing – If they think the dream world they live in is real, who am I to try and wake them up to the harsh reality of what’s actually going on? They have to figure it out for themselves. It’s sad but true. Realizing that, it was time to come to grips with it and move on, to something I love doing – helping people who are actively looking for help and genuinely wanting to improve the quality of their lives.

So over the holidays I sat in deep thought, contemplating how I could help a few others while I helped myself. And I decided to go back to my roots online. Armed with my newfound knowledge of ‘human nature’ and my previous knowledge and experience in internet marketing I can make a positive impact on anyone willing to move their own lives in a positive direction.

So over the past 10 days I’ve been laying out the plans for the foundation of a new business and direction in life. I’ve been working on a few initial reports on personal development where I go into the basics of what I’ve learned in a positive way, rather than the classic “wake up before it’s too late!” narrative we see so often.

In the first 6 months of this year I plan on publishing about 15-20 short special reports that’ll sell for anywhere from $4 to $20, but the majority of them will be under $10. The reports will bring in a modest income as well as expose a lot of people to my work. I’ll leverage that exposure when in a few months I begin publishing a paid subscription newsletter backed by a private members site and forum where members can safely interact and network with like minded people without the fear of ridicule and trolls that comes with a public site. There’ll be more going on too as things develop of their own volition.

So in conclusion, this site is changing direction in terms of subject matter. I’ll be posting a lot more in general and most of those posts will be centered around internet marketing, personal development and the inner workings of the human mind. Those are topics that fascinate and excite me to no ends. I hope you get just as much out of it as I will.

An unannounced test of a soon to be mandatory emergency alert system caused panic in New Jersey today after Verizon customers received text messages warning them that a “civil emergency” was in progress and to “take shelter,” prompting alarmed citizens to flood 911 lines with anxious calls.

“A mass text message warning New Jersey cell phone users of a “civil emergency” was sent out by Verizon Wireless earlier today,” reports the New Jersey Star-Ledger. Verizon Wireless later apologized to its customers for causing alarm.

“Most negative responses to this priest are from uneducated closed minded fundamentalists who havent leant to think outside the square they have been fed. The very stuff this priest talks about – the business of using psyche to market belief. The irony here is, that if persons believe themselves to be true christians, they would love this man as any other.”

This video contains one of the most awesome, inspiring and truthful speeches ever given by a president. This very speech must have caused a lot of panic among the higher echelons of the elite. Kennedy had been in office for only 3 months and he was already taking unprecedented steps to empower ordinary people. Kennedy did more for civil rights than any other president since Abraham Lincoln. Kennedy was a big supporter of the constitution, he was against the tyranny of big government. He wanted to withdraw US troops from Vietnam. He wanted to abolish the CIA and Federal Reserve, and he warned us of criminal elements within the establishment who wanted to cease an opportunity to restrict peoples freedoms. He urged the press to be more open and to fulfill its obligation to inform the American people about pertinent facts. And on top of that he spoke openly and candidly about the dangers of secret societies and their influence over the way government works. So is it any wonder that he was dramatically silenced only two years after making this epic speech?

“A fallacy is incorrect argumentation in logic and rhetoric reasoning resulting in a misconception or presumption.”

The next time you see an internet poll, notice the choices; there will likely be at least 3: One for, one against and one so idiotic that it’s just taking up space. Look at the list of candidates on your next presidential ballot; same thing.

Which poll item or presidential candidate will you choose?

You’ll probably choose the item or candidate that’s most popular. And you’ll feel good about it because you believe in freedom and democracy.

Problem is: You didn’t actually choose anything. Whoever constructed the poll or campaigned the hardest already made the choices for you. Your part in the process means nothing.

Think about it – when the poll was constructed, there were three choices but only two were valid and only one of those made the most sense. And that choice is the one most beneficial to the company or person who constructed the poll. The presidential ballot is no different. There’ll be at least two candidates who stand head and shoulders above the rest with one standing taller than the other, at least one fringe candidate or underdog and one or more who don’t stand a chance.

When you go to an appliance store to purchase a new refrigerator, there’ll be a dozen or more models on display. As you walk in the door, front and center will be their most popular model, followed by the clearance models and then everything else. Which one are you most likely to choose? Probably the most popular model. So who really made the choice?

The fact is, the majority of important choices we make in our lives are fed to us by someone else and end up benefitting whoever provides us with the choices more than us.

The poll was constructed to steer the voter towards one particular choice over the others. But even if YOU didn’t pick the most popular one, the most popular one still wins.

Even if you voted for the underdog in the presidential election, the frontrunner will still win because they’re the frontrunner. They campaigned the hardest.

Whether you buy the most popular model of refrigerator or the more obscure one in the back corner of the store, the store still wins because they profit no matter what model you buy.

Be aware of the choices others provide for you. Look for balance and always know that in compromise, the scales are usually tilted in their favor. The game is rigged.

“Explosive Device Found In Seattle Park Where Woman Killed By Train“

So anyone reading the article will naturally assume that there was some sort of bomb on or near the tracks, since it’s empherically stated in the headline.

Reading further through the article, however, the headline is contradicted by the following statement:

“While searching the scene, a crew found what appeared to be some sort of explosive device in the area similar to a pipe bomb.”

“…what appeared to be” “similar to a pipe bomb.” is a LOT different than the impression the headline gives. The fact is – they “think” it’s some sort of explosive device. Or rather, they don’t know what the hell it is.

It’s media garbage like this that makes my blood boil. In this time of information overload, scanning news headlines and a TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) mentality, readers see the headline and assume the next time they take a train they may be blown up. The public then gets concerned and cries “someone in power needs to protect us!” and soon there’s airport-style passenger screening at train stations. The fact that the “device” may or may not have been a bomb, or the fact that a passenger sitting inside a train would have a hard time putting a device on the tracks outside the station means nothing to them. Because their minds are gripped by the fear of being blown up.

The FACT is – the headline of the news article in question here is a lie. Be careful when consuming any sort of media these days. Whether it’s a newspaper article, an article on a site, a news show on TV or a Youtube video, read (or watch) it very carefully while in a logical and analytical frame of mind. Look for the facts and if the subject matter of the report is important to you, do your own investigating and gather your own facts.

There are only two facts in that article: 1) a woman was killed by a train in Seattle, WA. 2) something crews “think” was an explosive device was found near the scene. Other than that, the article is completely devoid of relevant information. It is nothing more than a fearmongering piece.
