Excerpt:
To pit Democrats against Republicans is to stay within the confines of the Matrix of Big. They both are the same and useful to the Matrix of Big for the purposes of distraction from the truth of what the Matrix Makers are doing. They set us up to fight that other party! Argue against that other party! Look at those bad guys that disagree with your view! Oh, don't let them get into power!
No, we need to look at the puppeteers. The politicians of either party are targets of the Big Matrix seduction. Most (99%??) cave in and intimately connect their life support to the Matrix of Big. This matrix is like the other option, it is a mindset. Both are bigger than any one person or party. The other is the Matrix of Personal Individual Responsibility. This matrix is one that does not irrevocably tie people together into a central command of a few elite leaders, but opens each individual up to the acceptance of their peers for the purposes of business, food production, farming, building, creating, etc.
Mr. G: two articles I found fascinating this week. One on Plagiarism in NYTimes. "Plagiarism is not so bad." I don't think academics will like his argument, but some of his points were good.
The second article, "Rigor of Love". Also NYTimes. First sentence: "how can an unbeliever regain faith?" He got into Kierkegaard. There are two types of cultural contracts. 1) I do good for you, you do good for me, ... We measure our importance by how well we fill our contract. 2) The Christian one: you stick God between people. Your debt is to God and it is unlimited. I think 2) is unhealthy.
Vlasta: I want to speak of the Seven Rs of sustainable life. Floods in Pakistan, floods in China causing mud slides; drought in Russia. Due to climate change, because of CO2 build up.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink, Redesign, Renewable energy, Restore. Raising levels of claims to insurance companies.
Utmost importance that we cut down CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. We have not yet reached 350 ppm.
We are not doing enough.
If you wait for the government to build the renewal power plants...they are building wind farms; a huge one just came online in Michigan. Hundreds of pylons.
But that takes too long. The key to solving the problem is to difuse energy power and political power.
I am off the grid.
How you live in your house, and what transportation you use.
Mr. G: if an electric power plant is burning coal, can they sequester the CO2?
Vlasta: no, it would take more energy to sequester it than would be produced. Not feasible.
... The diffusion of power collection, on roofs and land. Enough solar energy on my roof to power my whole neighborhood. Using both heat, light.
Solar thermal power plants. A company LUZ in Israel developed this... A parabolic mirror concentrates the sun's rays on a pipe filled with oil. The oil heats water, steam runs turbines to generate electricity. No longer experimental.
They had eighty plants in California. Then laws were passed to change the tax so that it was no longer competitive.
Ms. Anonymous: I have studied hot water. Do you know a system I could install that would be as cheap as a water heater?
Vlasta: you put black hose on your roof, circulate water in it.
Ms. Anonymous: a solar company has offered to put a thermal heating unit on Jungle Java Coffee House' roof, and the installation would be free, and the cost of the heating bill would be frozen at its present level and never increase. Wonderful idea.
Vlasta: my house is off the grid and I love it. E.g. Little PV lamps.
Mira: Gerald Checco has a Geothermal installation at his house on Middleton Ave. Used for heating and cooling because below the surface the soil is 55 degrees year round.
Vlasta: you need to use all these forms of renewal, sustainable energy. ... Cinti. Used to have 604 miles of street car rails, but due to the love affair with automobiles, they destroyed it. Now they are planning a hugely expensive street car project for only 6 miles.
To have a really functional street car system you'd have to ban cars from the downtown area, and they are never going to do that.
We need battery powered solar electric busses.
200 million dollars (the cost of the street car proposed system) should be used to fix up our city.
... In Washington Park they are going to cut down 49 mature trees in order to improve the park. They say they are going to move the trees, not fell them. Ridiculous.
3CDC are crooks; they have bought up blocks of property.
Gentrification of OTR. It is serious business, and impoverishing the City and tax payers to make them rich.
It is a "land grab" as Damon Lynch said.
Corner Race and 12th Streets, SE corner is a bar open from 5 am to 5 pm, funky place run by the Macedonian man, has refused to sell out to 3CDC, and they tried to claim it was a crime scene. But in 50 years he has never had to call the cops. Inexpensive food. Meal for $2.
Skype explained. (free software that enables you to have video contact with anyone who has internet and where both have a webcam on their computer.)
Lauren: I talk a lot to my grandchildren using Skype..

Right now, we don't have the phones set up so we're using Scott's number 614-477-6835 as the "office number." Our biggest need right now is to get volunteers to staff the office, so we have to call lots of people to get them to come by and sign up.
Thanks for your interest,
Mary-Pat Hester
Want to do a terrific service? Stop in the HQ at Knowlton's Corner between 1 and 8 pm, help them make calls. Fun and important. Ellen

WHAT:
Drama, World Premiere:
Writer/director Greg Newberry's new two-act play starts out about four men in their late forties who agreed, while high school friends, to reunite 30 years after graduation for a road trip to the Golden Gate Bridge.
If that tag line has you thinking "buddy-bonding road-trip bromance," think again.
The content is far more complex and rewarding than the wrapper implies.
As an experienced writer, Newberry has a penchant for wry, deceptive twists, and he excels at creating characters who, like peeling back an onion, are revealed a layer at a time.
WHERE & WHEN:
The Corbett Theatre, NKU
Highland Heights KY.
4 performances only, all at 8 pm:
Friday August 06
Saturday August 07
Friday August 13,
Saturday August 14

Ellen Bierhorst Ph.D. ~ Alexander Technique ~ http://www.lloydhouse.com ~ 513 221 1289 ~ Cincinnati
I am having a blast here in my first year of teaching the Alexander Technique! Unbelievably, a full calendar since the launch of my practice in late June 2009. This winter I was having so much demand for my lessons that I had to stop advertising and ask some well-progressing students to drop back to twice a month instead of weekly lessons.
Fantastic fee deal (limited time only): First lesson free; second through 4th lessons only $10. After that, only $50/lesson if you buy a package of 4 at a time, prepaid. * The "real fee" is $78 per lesson. I am interested in "turning on" as many people as possible to this wonderful learning. Good for pain, for performance improvement in the arts, atheltics, ... And finally, good for personal development. It has definite geriatric benefit as well.
You can read about my own experiences and find links to other sites here:
http://www.lloydhouse.com
Call and make an appointment or to discuss it with me. 513 221 1289.

* However, it is my commitment to adjust fees for anyone truly wanting lessons who cannot afford even this modest fee. Try it and see. Ellen

ARTICLES AND LETTERS
- Bentley Davis on candidates Fisher (Senate) and Driehaus (House)
- Charleston Wang on the 14th Ammendment
- News links on Washington, from Atia Huff:
- 1. http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions
- 2. http://mediamatters.org/ (this one is a watch on the Right Wing press)
- 3. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ (This one looks like general political news with Progressive bent.)
Hi Ellen,
Here are some basics about Senatorial Candidate Lee Fisher, Steve Driehaus incumbent rep Ohio District I (West of Vine St.)::
Fisher is up against Rob Portman. Now, I'm not one to want to start negative, but let's remember who Rob Portman is... He was the US Representative from the 2nd district (replaced by Jean Schmidt). As a member of congress, Portman's positions were indistinguishable from Schmidt's.
In 2005, Portman stepped down from Congress to be appointed by Bush as the US Trade Representative. In this capacity, Portman pushed for more free trade agreements that result in the loss of US jobs as well as environmental devastation and labor abuses in the other countries. In 2006, Portman became Bush's director of the Office of Budget and Management. I don't need to tell you about the great budgets we had under Bush...
Simply put, Portmant is far to the right. Do we really want him to be in the US Senate?
Conversely, Lee Fisher is strong on most progressive issues. He will be there with Sherrod Brown supporting health care, education, the middle class, and equal rights. Fisher has made clean energy part of his platform.
Now for Driehaus. Again, in a nutshell, the differences between him and his opponent (Chabot) are stark. Chabot hates gays and lesbians (he wanted a US Constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage), Driehaus supports equal rights. Chabot is opposed to health care reform and thinks it ought to be repealed. Driehaus voted for health care reform. Chabot's record on the environment is abysmal, Driehaus voted for the climate change bill. Frankly, there is not a single progressive idea that Chabot likes. He also tends to stoke the embers of hate and prejudice in order to get what he wants.
I hope the above helps. If there are any issues specifically that you feel you ought to know about any of the above candidates, please ask.
Best,
Bentley
.....
Just a quick comment/ correction in regard to the apportionment board. Mary Ellen O'Shaughnessy is the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State. She is not, however, an incumbent.
She needs all the help she can get as she is up against an incredibly well-funded Republican candidate who will take us right back to Ken Blackwell days.
Michael Taylor on "the Matrix of Big Business / Big Government"
Hey Ellen,
I was just reading your Salon update and decided to write my response instead of just thinking it. The problem is the more I wrote, the more I wanted to write. But, I didn't budget the time for this! AH! Anyway, I hope that the thoughts are tied together properly, forgive the lack of clarity, perhaps more so at the end. I would really like to delve into the matrix idea more and develop it more than what I have at FleeTheMatrix.com ...
Ellen: the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats: The Republicans (GOP) think we should contain government, and that a lot of the problems we have could be reduced by cutting back government powers and programs. They feel safer with the business sector and want it more unregulated. The Democrats believe that we cannot trust the business sector; after all, it is in business to make money not to protect us or look out for our interests. Business must be regulated so that it doesn't abuse us, as for instance the health insurance industry has badly abused us, taking our premium dollars and finding every way they can to deny us the coverage we need. I like freedom of all kinds, but I recognize that business, especially Giant Corporations can abuse us people, and our ally is the government. After all, I can vote for the government. The government is us. I sure can't vote for the board of trustees of Wal-Mart! (any comments to this?)
Yes, you confuse the issue, Ellen, when you say that government is your ally against big business. Government is one of the biggest businesses. Government workers manipulate regulations to curb competition for big business and then go work for the big businesses that they curried favor with during their so-called days of "public service". Case in point is two-time a man who has completed the cycle twice. A man who brings dishonor to my name, because he shares it, fortunately his middle name begins to distinguish him from me. Michael R. Taylor, liaison of the Matrix of Big Central, has gone from a regulating body of big government, the FDA
big centralized business Mon-Satan (I mean Monsanto) in this fashion:
Big Gov't: In 1976, after passing the bar examination, Taylor became a staff attorney for the FDA, where he was executive assistant to the Commissioner. (Pretty influential, eh?)
Big Business: In 1981 he went into private practice at King & Spalding, a law firm representing thebiotechnologycompany Monsanto, where he established and led the firm's "food and drug law" practice. (Wow, seems like a good public servant, really getting involved in the private sector! Keep them honest and protect the people, eh?)
Big Gov't: On July 17, 1991, Michael Taylor left King & Spalding, returning to the FDA to fill the newly created post of Deputy Commissioner for Policy. (Policy? This is like how the public servant will spend the tax dollars of the public and influence the private sector, of course ALL FOR THE GOOD of the public, right? Ha ha)
Big Gov't: Between 1994 and 1996 he moved to the USDA, where he was Administrator of the Food Safety & Inspection Service.
Big Business: briefly returning to King & Spalding
Big Business: then returned to Monsanto to become Vice President for Public Policy
Big Matrix activities (to perpetuate his matrix crushing the independent guys mindset & beliefs): With only political science and law degrees, he became professor at the University of Maryland's School of Medicine[ref] and in 2007 he became a Research Professor of Health Policy at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services (must be a really healthy guy, eh? or is the word "WEALTHY"? How about Big Matrix connected guy...)
Big Gov't: On July 7, 2009, Taylor once again returned to government as "senior advisor" to the FDA Commissioner.[ref]Big Matrix Taylor's re-appointment to the FDA came just after Obama and the other G-8 leaders pledged $20 billion to fight hunger in Africa over the next three years. And why hunger? How does Big Matrix's Michael Taylor's experience relate to hunger solutions? Well, come on, he is intricately related to setting up the Big Matrix policies for crushing independent, seed-collecting farmers, for the Mon-Satan round-up ready, buy every year seeds that farmers must sell for Mon-Satan to achieve its goal of OWNING the world's seeds and food production! By no means is Monsanto alone in this aggressive goal to crush the world population under its feet for the purposes of controlling (and culling). No! Also, just as the Matrix of Big does not express itself through one company, it also can afford to lose a company or several companies that the world population would somehow come against in a focused enough fashion to destroy any company deemed destructive like Monsanto.
To pit Democrats against Republicans is to stay within the confines of the Matrix of Big. They both are the same and useful to the Matrix of Big for the purposes of distraction from the truth of what the Matrix Makers are doing. They set us up to fight that other party! Argue against that other party! Look at those bad guys that disagree with your view! Oh, don't let them get into power!
No, we need to look at the puppeteers. The politicians of either party are targets of the Big Matrix seduction. Most (99%??) cave in and intimately connect their life support to the Matrix of Big. This matrix is like the other option, it is a mindset. Both are bigger than any one person or party. The other is the Matrix of Personal Individual Responsibility. This matrix is one that does not irrevocably tie people together into a central command of a few elite leaders, but opens each individual up to the acceptance of their peers for the purposes of business, food production, farming, building, creating, etc.
Peace 2U,
Michael Taylor

Immigration Att'y Charleston Wang: our 14th Ammendment
Defend Our 14h Amendment – Child of Steel and Fire
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution came into existence on July 9, 1868, only after the end of the Civil War – a child born of trial by fire and steel. Section One begins with the Citizenship Clause which provides that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was to reverse the ignominy of Dred Scott v. Sanford, an 1857 decision of the United States Supreme Court which barred African Americans from becoming citizens of the land in which they were born, a decision that affirmed the institution of slavery, a decision that led to war. Slavery was profitable because the children of those enslaved were automatically the property of the slave-owner and never a free citizen of the Nation into which they were born.
To emasculate the 14th Amendment of its Citizenship Clause is to take a step backwards into the time when slavery marred the humanity of this land and the fairness of our politics. It is to disrespect all those who gave their lives to end the institution of slavery and of Jim Crow. Furthermore, to take out the Citizenship Clause is to endanger the remaining Clauses of the Section - the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses as they are to be applied in the several States: "Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." In 1954, the Equal Protection Clause became the foundation for Brown v. Board of Education, a decision of the Supreme Court decision which called for an end to racial segregation all across these United States.
Does the fact that these Clauses protect all "persons" who are "within the jurisdiction" of a state within the Union cause offense to anyone? This ideal is a vital cornerstone of the majesty of American law, a beacon of hope and a guiding example to all Nations of the world. It is a shining light proclaiming that our laws apply fairly and equally to all who live within our borders, without regard to our status but just because we are vulnerable human beings deserving of and entitled to due process and equal protection of our laws. This I believe was the dream deep in the hearts and souls of those who wrote the Constitution, as amended, and of the many more who fought to defend it.
