This is a very cool visualisation of which health supplements actually work and which don’t. It was composed of relevant data gained from PubMed, the ultimate medical information source. Does green tee prevent cancer? Does it prevent cardiac problems? How about fish oil or cranberry juice or cinnamon or coenzyme Q10?

This is an inspiration. One man against the great powers of capital and elitism. It is only when the people know the true plans and behavior of their governments that they can meaningfully choose to support them. WikiLeaks protects the freedom of knowing what your government doesn’t want you to know.

Considering the largest corporations as analogous to a nation state reveals the following properties:

1. The right to vote does not exist except for share holders (analogous to land owners) and even there voting power is in proportion to ownership.
2. All power issues from a central committee.
3. There is no balancing division of power. There is no fourth estate. There are no juries and innocence is not presumed.
4. Failure to submit to any order may result in instant exile.
5. There is no freedom of speech.
6. There is no right of association. Even romance between men and women is often forbidden without approval.
7. The economy is centrally planned.
8. There is pervasive surveillance of movement and electronic communication.
9. The society is heavily regulated, to the degree many employees are told when, where and how many times a day they can go to the toilet.
10. There is little transparency and something like the Freedom of Information Act is unimaginable.
11. Internal opposition groups, such as unions, are blackbanned, surveilled and/or marginalized whenever and wherever possible.

But if you’re creative and determined enough, you can see the beauty sink in once you take the time. Then all of a sudden it becomes easy for the brain to weigh emotion and experimental evidence. You don’t have to like it, but a mirror might be helpful the same way that it has been before. I then remembered the story of a patient who is health-wise on par with the average resident of the United States. He knows the benefits of coffee in the morning to get us all extremely excited. You don’t have to freak out, but you will see the difference once you look at the science behind it all. Consider this: There was a patient that ended up doing good for the world. I’ll give you a couple of examples. You. need this the same way that you need food. It’s not nose picking. You don’t diverge from the path et cetera, et cetera. That’s why I think the way to true happiness is a partial divergence from pure pleasure.

Last night Quintron and Ms Pussycat played at the Hemlock Tavern on Post in San Francisco. I didn’t know them, but my friends did. What a party they made! Everybody was dancing submerged in this positive humorous energy. One of the best concerts I have ever been to. Hank IV was great too (as well as the margaritas).

Here are some photos from the 2009 Haight Asbury Street Fair in San Francisco. Was fun!

This man is a monster. A lovable monster. An instant piano death, but a exhilaratingly transcendental one. The way he plays his rock-jazz is hearing somebody play piano on a level you have never experienced before. As you have never listened to piano before. The hidden crowds within. This somebody is Eric Lewis. He happens to be a really nice guy as well..

This man is a genius. Piano is his third eye.

Democracy now!
