hecka hack

Recently, the stock market world has been thrown into a whirl as one of the contributors to the 2010 “flash crash” Singh Sarao has been taken into custody. In the wake of this tragedy, or as some may call it, a good thing, many have been trying to figure out why this happened and what were the motives behind it. Some think that Sarao is part of a terrorist organization, some think that he’s a kid in his underwear with too much time, and some may think that he did this just to expose a hole in the system. Whatever the reasons that he did this are, I don’t know and I am not going to try to explain why he did this. What I am going to talk about is how we should react to this. The stock market is huge, it has the ability to build powerhouses, destroy monopolies and give new businesses a fighting chance. So you would think that if anything could happen to the stock market, the CIA or the FBI would have found the hole in the system and closed it. However, since the most popular rumor is that Singh Sarao was just a kid with a computer and too much time and not a multi-billion dollar organization, it would seem that there would have been no way that he could have even tapped the balance of the stock market however from what’s being said, Sarao did more than just barely tap the system, he flipped the market upside down and walked away with some money in his pocket. So here’s the questions you should be asking, how safe do I feel and where are your tax dollars going? If one person and a computer has the ability to change the stock market, imagine what terrorist organizations could do with the resources they have? As I’ve said before you would think that something this blunt and pronounced could and would be prevented by our countries military and secret organizations however this apparently isn’t the case. Now don’t get me wrong, I love this country to a fault, I love how we are able to worship freely who we want and the fact that we can write articles of criticism like I am now without being afraid of getting shot. However I do think that it is imperative that the events that are now called “the flash crash” must be addressed and must be addressed now. From the looks of it, the CIA and or the FBI haven’t come out and said that there is a solution to this issue and that’s troublesome. It’s been 5 years since this happened and the system may still be broken just waiting for another person with too much time and a computer. So all I’m trying to say is this, we must take action, of course there’s probably another side of the story that we don’t know but when events like this take place, there is no room for conspiracy theories, we must find the root of the problem and fix it and not try to guess and see if we’ll get lucky. All I hope is that this will be just another example to all the American people including the “big shots” of how vulnerable we really are and what happens when you let success and invincibility cloud your vision. If we want to endure as a nation, we must remember to believe in what all others failed to believe in. Failure.

Response to ISIS Part II

Here begins the most informal blog I've written yet
"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." (The Declaration of Independence) While this quote might not seem like the most appropriate for this topic, ill do my best to explain my thoughts. Since the beginning of America, we have always been the "hot blooded" young Americans. Look at our music history by itself, Link Wray, a famous guitarist back in the 50's and 60's wrote a song called Rumble. A song with a simple, highly overdriven guitar riff, that was band from popular radio because it provoked gang violence. How about something a little more mainstream?



Alice Cooper's song "Schools out for Summer" highly known for the title by itself. But have you ever read any of the other lyrics? Lets take a closer look at what Alice Cooper is trying to say: "Well we got no class And we got no principles And we got no Innocence." In other words, Cooper states that they are the "cool" kids and could care less about anybody else and their rules and regulations. The only point I am trying to make here is that back in the "good ole days" of rock and roll and of muscle cars and cheap gas, was that America didn't worry about what others thought of us, we simply just tread where we wanted to and other people dealt with it. But now, it seems as though instead of us growing as a nation, we are de-maturing as a nation. There are certain people who are so concerned with self image and can't stand "The American way", that they have to change and erase every bad and vain thing that's ever happened in history. "So God made a liberal". Now what does any of this have to do with The Declaration of Independence or Isis? Let me tell you, back in the "good ole days" we would have killed Isis while it was a parasite, but now that it is grown to be a terror, we still can't do anything about it. "There are some people that are so concerned with self image, that they can't stand America being the "bad boy" of the world. "So God made a liberal". My point is, is that we need to take a step back and decide what kind of a nation we want to be. The so called "leader of the free world" (bad boy) or the nursing, caring follower of the world. For right now, it seems that we are becoming the follower, not the leader. There are certain people that are trying to change America for worse. "So God made a liberal."

Response to failing marriages

As Christians we have, to an extent an ability to tell the future, the object in q1uestion, the Bible. For years we as Christians have looked at the failing of society, the depravation of morality and the ridicule of Christianity and watched it slowly get worse and worse. Well it seems that the news world is just starting to catch up to Christianity and realize that wait, things are getting out of hand. And one of the contributors to this new revelation is marriage. It has been discovered by the smart people of this world that children that are not raised in a home with two parents are much more likely to fall into poverty. This makes a lot of sense, if you have no guidance in your life, the things of this world look progressively more and more appealing and with no foundation in morals, there is nothing to reverse that life style until juvenile hall or prison try to straighten you out. Another number to consider is that in 2014, a survey was done to see what percentage of Americans were married. The results came back pretty grim, in 2012 the percentage of married households was 50.5% that's a bout a 22% drop from the high in 1960. Now this means one of two things, either people aren't having as many children as they used too or its that their having just as many children but instead of raising a kid, they put it up for adoption or one party leaves and makes the other stay and take care of it. Previously I stated that having two parents presented children with a much better future than those that have one or no parents, so if that's the case and if the 22% decrease in married households are all due to one person leaving when the child was born, can you imagine how many children that is that are going grow up in what statistics say are devastating to children's lives? lets just say that the results are very sad. Now for something funny, it turns out that the smarter you are, the more likely you are to get married. Jonathon Rauch, leader of the movement Marriage Opportunity Council, says that "Marriage is thriving among people with four-year college diplomas, but the further you go on the education totem pole, the worse it's doing." So on another big issue, World and Christianity meet, not on the battlefield for marriage, but rather as comparison for how things should be. But just watch, soon the success (or failing) of marriages will be brought into question and, research will be done, survey's will be completed, and beaurocrats, will give their opinions or laws. In the end, the world can't handle the truth, that said, they will never turn to the ultimate source of truth, the Bible. They will continue their selfish pursuits and try to find truth in lies and light in the darkness.

Response to Obama's plan

On Monday of this week our beloved President Obama, announced his new economic plan for the United States. The main thing is that Obama's plan contains is "more taxes, more spending, and more of the Washington gridlock that has failed middle-class families" (John A. Boehner). But wait, there's a catch, instead of imposing more taxes onto the middle class Obama's way around this is to tax the upper class more than the middle/lower class . But here's the problem with that, throughout the last 6 -7 years of Obamas presidency, he has exponentially increased the national debt and taxes have increase accordingly. Therefore as a result of that all the upper class people that there used to be are struggling keep their honorary title and Obama's ingenious health plan hasn't helped with that situation at all. But here's the main point, if there aren't enough upper class people to pay their share of the budget, who does the cost go to? Well although Obama (obviously) hasn't announced this scenario, the people that will take the hit at the end of all this is the middle and lower classes as usual. Another fault in this budget is that it fails to address Medicare. When you have to lie in the face of congress (Jonathon Gruber) in order to pass a Health Care bill (Obama care) you know that things have gone from bad to worse. One concept that I'm surprised no one has brought up in politics is the name Obama care itself. Don't you think that if you make a new health care plan you would name it something like "The affordable care act"? Oh yeah I forgot, Obama care is also called that as well. So lets recap for a second on just the Obama care part. One day Obama walks into his office and he sees Jonathon Gruber sitting in the chair next to his desk, Gruber looks Obama straight in the face and says "Mr. President, this just isn't going to work". Obama retaliates with "Well it has to it's all we got". Gruber says "Mr. President the people are never going to go for a plan that takes more money out of their pocket". Obama, puzzled takes a second to think over his options and all of a sudden his face lights up and he exclaims "The Affordable Care act! that's what we'll call it"... Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the face of modern politics where people will do whatever they have to do in order to get their way. I've said it before and I'll say it again Obama is looking for some way to leave his mark as President of the United States and he will burn this country with a flamethrower before he consents to the will of the people. So America make your choices wisely because from hear on until next November, one trillion dollars doesn't mean anything to Uncle Sam.

Response to marafood

Recently, a lot has been going on concerning marijuana in Colorado. Ever since Marijuana was legalized for recreational purposes back in 2012, it seems that the offenses of those that have participated in the recreational marijuana have steadily grown more offensive and more severe. However,  there's something new that's been added to the mix, cannabis-infused food. Yes, recently in Colorado, restaurants have added cannabis to the menu and started fusing popular food choices with cannabis. Now here's the most shocking thing, supposedly cannabis tastes terrible! Not only that but it's also very hard to work with. But the world is fallen so now investors are already trying to jump on the bandwagon and bring legitimacy to marijuana. What might just be the funniest part about this whole thing is that these financial transactions from investors and the actual possession of Marijuana are actually prohibited by federal law. So lets look at the facts, Marijuana is legalized, Marijuana is fused with food, it tastes terrible, its hard to work with, investors are investing in an illegal product that shouldn't even exist in the hands of the everyday consumer. Where does it ever end? Frankly This is the question that Christians and people with high moral standards alike are struggling with answering. And the future doesn't look good. For example as a result of cannabis infused food in Colorado, doctors have been noticing an uptake of people getting sick from ingesting too much marijuana, the most shocking part? The age group that make up the most noticeable part of that number are children. I don't know whether they classify children as teenagers or straight up 9 and 10 year olds but either way, what is our country coming to? When we can allow our children to get high and ruin their life with this addiction yet we can't allow the church protesting against abortion something bad has happened. And things will only get worse until a few good men decide to stand up and change the world for the better. And I am not excluded from that list, I am just as guilty as anyone to just sit back and let the world go by. We need to be the generation to bring America back and to restore it to the Godly foundations that it was founded upon. This needs to happen or this current spiral will continue to spin out of control before it is too late and we are out of time.

Response to terrorist attacks

Last week, Islamic extremists killed 11 workers of the satiricle comic Charlie Hebdo and a police officer in response to a suggestive cartoon considering their 'prophet' muhhamed. Ever since this event, the question of the day has been wether or not certain newspapers will continue printing the comic. It seems that most are on board for continuing the printing of the comic however, certain newspaper's (The New York Times) are not printing the comic because it would be "offensive" to the Muslim religion. But when has that stopped America before? Offending people is what we seem to like best. All I can express is deep dissapointment to the N.Y.T. For not having the courage to stand up for what this nation was founded upon, freedom. What interests me the most however is when we as Americans criticize the French so readily for turning their back when conflicts come and running. However, France is taking Americas place it seems, and America is dazed and doesn't know what to do. We are the leaders of the free world. It should be pretty obvious what we do when oppression comes, destroy it. The
best thing I've heard considering this whole affair is a quote from New York advacy group Joel Simon who states Here’s the thing that troubles me: This is a time when, regardless of your decision to publish or not, we need to stand together behind the principle of freedom of expression. I’d hate to see this become divisive.” We can not let this event disunite us as a nation or as a world, we must destroy the enemies of freedom just as fast as they can kill 12 people. The thing is, we can not be discouraged by this we must press onward and fight these offenders of freedom. At what cost? That depends on what you stand for, however if the cost becomes too great and freedom seems at its end, what's next?

response to jonathon gruber

Jonathon Gruber, the man who made the affordable care act appealing and clean in front of congress has exposed it for the filth it really is. At the end of 2014 Jonathon Gruber stood in front of congress and confessed to congress and in affect America, that he lied about the affordable care act in order to get it passed. Put it this way, if Jonathon Gruber did not exist, we wouldn't have the affordable care act. Jonathon Gruber cooked the books so that when he stood in front congress he could show congress how productive and how good it was when in reality it was garbage. And now because of this, Gruber has the majority if not all the American people breathing down his neck waiting to get him. Another interesting fact is that when obama care was introduced people hated it, when it was passed people hated it, and when it was force fed to the American people, they hated it even more. So let's recap, America hates the Affordable care act, Jonathon Gruber must have had some internal moral revolution and he apparently dislikes it. So why did it pass? There must have been a reason why Jonathon Gruber passed it in the first place however, that is an elusive question. The best I can come up with is that in order to gain more support from his respective party, Gruber lied and now he realises the consequences of his actions. So in other words, it was a trade off gone bad. At this point it is too late to reverse the affects of the Affordable care act, we're in it for the long haul. Jonathon Gruber's opportunity cost was to gain support of his party and lie about the health plan. So if you ever see Jonathon Gruber walking down the street be sure to thank him for his contribution to the decline of Americas economy.
