O bem é maioria, mas não se percebe porque é silencioso. Uma bomba faz mais barulho que uma caricia, porém, para cada bomba que destrói há milhões de carícias que alimentam a vida. Vale a pena, não é mesmo?

There is still strange smell in the air… it feels like treason of the human race by another humans is close.
Bollocks!!
Democracy, these days, is just a deceiving way to put a puppet in the once again supposedly chamber of power! These guys have no real power because these guys are just tools for the money owners to manipulate society at their own will!
We are all part of a social experiment were the new Master of Puppets are methodically conspiring to make us jump, cry and obey at will, because money can buy these things even if the little us don’t recognise initially the dependence of money makes us fearful of losing security but not our souls.
In case we don’t understand, our worst enemy is the one we don’t see or realize that it is there and in any way shape or form we say what the enemy is, we are branded by the society they created as delusional.
Hitler was a real enemy and he created chaos and died, other dictators also died and some did just for money and political reasons or even to make the biggest enemy of us all look as the the Great Savior!
Let me put it this way, if you eliminate the competition then you have the Monopoly all to yourself so you have full control of the play board and make believe that we are in good hands!
Every once in a while, so things don’t get boring you plan another hand made dictator and pile his own country that he took over with the weapons you sold him saying that is a threat that needs to be terminated, so what you do is plan a fictional government to keep on handling you the natural resources of the land!!
Risk meets Monopoly!

Mark Knopfler once wrote a few words that make massive sense in the world today:
“Money for nothing… that’s the way you do it”
If you look deeper into into it, you will be able to see that we are mostly talking about the financial market and banking.
It seems clear as water that the world crisis is happening mainly because of the financial system due to their Houdini ability to make value out of nothing and make value disappear without a trace!
Currency as we know it, is a society driven way to give value to things so people wouldn’t have to trade products or services like in the old days.
This would be understandable if the value of things haven’t been adulterated by the same people who came with the concept of money.
Bankers play this sinful role and created the banking and financial system.
Controlling the value that any food; product or service has, will be able to drive however they want the economy with the sole purpose of clearly stating who is the ‘king of the jungle’.
Just like any predator, they will find a way to control the prey’s environment because, if you do that, they can do whatever you want with the working force: Starve them; Confuse them; Cause them fear; Deny them hope…
Unfortunately the human race still doesn’t understand that we no longer live in a jungle, that we are technically evolved to live without killing and lying, nonetheless the human mentality hasn’t evolved that much in these last few centuries.
Maybe we will have to wait until the 24th century…

The current truth is that we are living in a time similar to Rome and their fall, the Circus runs high and the crowd is disillusioned while the Empire falls…

Sometimes the power of observing without judging and being yourself and caring at the same time regardless of what is going around you are some of the most rare gifts that we can find in today’s world.
This might sound nonsense, as you might think that this is a state of pure numbness when you don’t feel a thing and can be completely alienated from the outside world. Not quite it…
Picture a state where you feel your senses enhanced and you have an invisible coat of protection from the outside threats and the calm of a Guru… a mix of Wolverine and Professor X with less sideburns and hair on top of your head.
Buddha (the fat dude laughing) knew it all, with his live and let live and let die attitude he conquered the hearts of many followers through his laughter and uniquely Zen attitude as well as many pots of food…
I see shit happening every day, and it angers me to see things happening on a certain way and I do my best to try to fix them, but sometimes I think: ‘Is it worth it?’
The fact is that I can’t turn my mind off if things go wrong, I find it hard to let go. The acts of chivalry are not appreciated by many people, as many people don’t care about anything but their own ‘arse’! I am nobody to make them change their egocentric and erratic behaviors, although it quite pisses me off when those affect me directly!
JC had the philosophy of turning the other cheek and slapped on one cheek, which is quite impressive and shows a massive amount of discipline and selfless behavior but the most I can do is to dodge punches while sparring in my kickboxing trainings…
In the world today, do you feel like taking punch will actually have an impact in the surrounding around you? Ghandi proved it actually had an impact as resorting to non-violence when attacked will normally bring a similar conduct.
Nature stands to the fact that for every action there is a reaction but sometimes for us, the young human race, it is quite hard for accept the reaction for an inappropriate action as being comprehension; acknowledgement, forgiveness and simply ignoring the one who has done that to us although the power of letting go really works.
Are we the product of a cynical world that has corrupted our innocence into becoming grey and obedient people?

Imagine if life in this planet decided to fade away because some of their inhabitants are just to greedy to share a piece of the land and freedom that doesn’t belong to them with their fellow brothers.
Imagine if the water become poisonous every time someone decided to keep it all for himself and make the world a numb place. The water is no longer drinkable as it should be, as the man already poisoned it with Fluoride…
Imagine if someone tried to erase your memories, your past and your history and replace it lies that are grey and meaningless.
Imagine if someone could control what you read, how you think, what you eat, how you feel.
Imagine if the food you eat doesn’t come from the land but from a machine full of formulas, marketing packages, oil and screws and tastes of shades of salt and sugar.
Imagine if the land dried, the sky closed and the trees collapsed in protest of a world that has been raped and stolen… a world that has always been free but never enough for the delusions of grandeur of some.
I ask you why?Why do some people have the need of seeing suffering in someone else’s face?
I ask you if you still remember how to smile in this hostile world?
It is a strange place but let’s not lose the hope in it, because if we do we mortgage our own existence.

Like yelling fire in a theater where the crowd is long gone and the building is already a pile of ash, the scientific community’s warning of the dangers of human-animal hybrid experimentation may be too little, too late.
In a new report, scientists are warning that science fiction could become science fact unless some safeguards are put into place.
The UK Daily Mail reported, “Prof. Martin Bobrow, a medical geneticist at Cambridge University and co-author of the report, said society needed to set rules before scientists began experiments that the public would find unacceptable.”
He explained, “We are trying to get this out in the open before anything has happened.”
Using the forthcoming film Rise of the Planet of the Apes as a point of reference, the story sources Prof. Thomas Baldwin as saying: “The fear is that if you start putting very large numbers of human brain cells into the brains of primates, suddenly you might transform the primate into something that has some of the capacities that we regard as distinctively human—speech—or other ways of being able to manipulate or relate to us. These possibilities that are at the moment largely explored in fiction, we need to start thinking about now.”
There are two different aspects of research that are relevant to the warning: A creation referred to as a “chimera” where full DNA is used fromtwo separate and individual animals to create a new one, and a hybrid
where genetic parents each contribute half of the genes.
The word chimera has it origins in Greek mythology, the name of a fire-breathing creature described by Homer in the Iliad as being “lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle.”
However, science lauded the first modern chimera in 1984 when scientists from the Institute of Animal Physiology in England created one from a sheep and a goat.
National Geographic reported: “Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University in 2003 successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs. The embryos were reportedly the first human-animal chimeras successfully created. They were allowed to develop for several days in a laboratory dish before the scientists destroyed the embryos to harvest their stem cells.”
The aforementioned story also quotes Jeremy Rifkin, a biotechnology activist, as saying: “One doesn’t have to be religious or into animal rights to think this doesn’t make sense. It’s the scientists who want to do this. They’ve now gone over the edge into the pathological domain.”
In 2005, The Sun newspaper ran a story that shows what scientists have tried to accomplish in the past.
“Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered his scientists to cross humans with apes to create an invincible breed of Red Army soldiers, secret documents show,” reported the Sun. The experiment, taking place in the 1920s, ultimately failed.
The newest warning, according to the Daily Mail, states, “Animals containing human material that approach ethical or regulatory boundaries” should be monitored, and research that “engenders human-like behavior” should be made illegal.
However, asking scientists and their government grant-writing political overseers to not engage in something that is deemed possible and scientifically interesting is often a lesson in futility. Perhaps if the scientific community cannot rein itself in based on morals and ethics, they can recall the fate of Ilia Ivanov, who headed Stalin’s human-ape hybridization project: Ivanov was arrested by Soviet police on Dec. 13, 1930 and was sent to a labor camp, where he died just two years later at the age of 62.

Imagine a room full of light like a ray of sun in the clouds, where peace reigns and everything is sweet and calming…![]()
Happy thoughts, green forests, sunny beaches and dreamy landscapes…
Feel the warmth and the kindness ruling every second of your existence…
Somewhere deep inside that angelic mode that you think you live in there is something dark and grim!
Something that pulls you away from that happy place, that enrages you and makes you bitter and shakes your world.
That is the dark place in your soul, that anger that makes you scream, that contained rage that makes you cringe.
A dark pixel in your memory, something so revolting and painful that actually makes you move, fight and in a twisted way evolve and pay attention to the little things you normally take for granted.
The shades of grey that you have inside of you normally make any other colour seem lively and cheerful and that is when you learn the meaning of the word gratitude.
When something so dearly is taken away from you that all the data gathered in that dark pixel becomes so daunting that all the world crashes, that is the time that you feel and appreciate the little things you ignore!
The dark pixel is needed otherwise you just go through life without experiencing what good things life has to offer!

Initially most of you dirty minds… will laugh in silence thinking that I wrote a living Penis!
Well it is actually a living Pen… I bet BIC, Cartier and all of the remaining Chinese manufacturers still haven’t thought of this! If they did, our Asian friends would have cloned billions of them, sold them cheaply and called them ‘The Wiving Pen!”
As a modest good marketer that I am, I came up with a concept extremely unique (famous last words) giving a pen Artificial Intelligence whenever it was in contact with a human hand and it would write whatever the Hand (never the words: TALK TO THE HAND made so much sense) it would write whatever the hand told it to.
Amazing concept isn’t it?
Shame it has been invented thousands and thousands of years ago by a brilliant scientist Aka CAVE MAN!!
This is, supposedly, the pot of gold of a Marketer, the ability of taking a normal product adding an extra yet useless feature and calling it a really fancy name like : ‘Really fancy product 3000’!
That is not exactly true, the 2nd oldest profession in the world, in a same ideal world, does sometimes work towards a bigger purpose, especially when we are talking about activities/initiatives that will educate people without having any 2nd intentions.
Just like communism… a great concept but utterly utopic!
Let’s get back to sell Chinese ‘Wiving pens 3000’!!

Owl Animal Symbolism
The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth.
In ancient Egyptian, Celtic, and Hindu cultures the symbolic meaning of owl revolved around guardianship of the underworlds, and a protection of the dead.
In this light the owl was ruler of the night and seer of souls. A misunderstanding of this necessary relationship gave the owl some negative associations with death.
It should be clear that the owl was honored as the keeper of spirits who had passed from one plane to another. Often myth indicates the owl accompanying a spirit to the underworld – winging it’s newly freed soul from the physical world into the realm of spirit.
A quick-list of owl symbolic meanings:
Native Americans associated the meaning of owl with wisdom, foresight, and keeper of sacred knowledge. This may largely be due to the fact that the owl is a great foreteller of weather conditions. Also its ability to see at night is legend among the Native Americans, and this attribute would be invoked during ceremonies when an oracle of secret knowledge was required.
Similarly, West African and Aboriginal Australian cultures viewed the owl as a messenger of secrets, kin to sorcerers, as well as companions to seers, mystics and medicine people.
During medieval times in western and central Europe it was fabled that owls were actually priestesses (witches) and wizards in disguise. To this day the owl is considered a witch’s familiar (an animal soul-spirit linked to a spiritual person via a unique, communicative bond).
Check out this great home video taken by Phostenix. It’s a horned owl stopping for a sip.
OWLS are great!

Mondays are always a pain in the arse.
Our genes carry the memory of years of ‘Mondayness’, since the early days that we were ‘slaved’ by the landlords and f@cking royalty. To be honest it didn’t change that much…
The players have new outfits, the technology has evolved dramatically, there is an apparent equality between everyone but the truth is that behind the curtains the jobby is bigger than before. It might be more modern, it might have lights blinking, Wifi and camera but it smells like sh@t, looks like fancy sh@t so I’m sure it will be …. sh@t!
The flies changed but the sh@t remains the same.
What does this mean?
Throughout the ages there was always someone trying to have dominate/ rule someone else… with time that control become invisible to the eye but as strong as always.
Let me give you an example.
In the dark ages, the landlord had the plebe to work for him and whoever didn’t would be hang in a pole! Simple as that…
Nowadays, the control is exerted through economy. All your life is determined by the bank, they promise the world and try to keep you in debt through the weakness of your induced desires. Pavlovs dog all over again.
The banking system is the façade for something bigger, someone who is trying to control the world and most of all control the people. The current economy, banking and financial system are a faceless enemy as they spread like a cancer. You can’t fight against it because it doesn’t have a face and it is already embedded in everything you do.
Think about it… the system started a recession so people would be more and more dependent of the banks and would spread fear amongst everyone. Fear of losing your job, not having money to pay the bills, the house, and the food is all under a big plan: Dependence. With dependence comes injustice and a bigger gap between the rich and the poor. Bye bye middle class.
I said a couple of years ago that Portugal would become a new Brazil in terms of gap between the classes. That is exactly what is happening. You have the big fat sharks swimming in the pond and the little rebel fish that hide in the rock and get more and more aggressive fearing the Big White!
Fear is the way; Finance, Food and Education (lack of or misguided one) are tools for control.
Make no mistake the way that we are all guided to act, do, think, buy, follow is more and more subtle and that is no coincidence.
The question is: ‘How are we going to terminate the Big white shark?’
