George Carlin had a lot of interesting points that simply magnify what's being done. He talks about how the game is "rigged" and that these "cocksuckers are now coming for your social security." It's true. My poor dad, before he passed away, barely was able to receive any money and got the worst care and that was only after my mom had to deal with stress inducing bureaucratic forms. America put an honest, hard working person into a little room with sick old people and my dad caught pneumonia and died from it.

Then you see this company get bailed out and probably the CEO making shit loads of money in the end. It's very frustrating watching these crooks get away with murder like this. I'm certain other families have suffered similar situations in varying degrees due to the irresponsible greed of Wallstreet.

With all the audits and distrust that goes on with the way Wallstreet earns it cash, one must wonder at times if it can be sustainable long term? Of course, Wallstreet with all the bankers are the ones financing many businesses and digging their grubby hands into things (I mean, why else would Yahoo dismiss those bastards from a boardroom meeting with Microsoft the other day?). Even if Wallstreet morphs into some other fungoid manipulation racket scheme run with their mob friends in the government and media, I truly wonder how much longer they are going to last? The stock market practically has no true value. It's just a bidding zone on paper at the end of the day. The information has no value, except for accountants and those within the circles. You can eat a stock, for instance.

More and more I get convinced that these crooks will slowly die off while information from the net replaces their valueless system of staying in power. That's my vision. Call it 10-20 years and the entire stock market and Wallstreet will die off completely, replaced by information commodities in the form of information trading. More companies like Google will turn information into a commodity itself without monetizing it so that anyone will some talent can reinvent this system of interdependence, but at the same time giving it meaning.

In the meantime, I hope that people start recognizing how the world really is run by the NWO. It's all these elites in power trying to create a single club and enslaving the rest of us and instilling fear through their security systems. All these people are simply criminals against humanity. They should be tried as if they were mini-Hitlers.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 08:56:14 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/3/17/9dd11447599e1f427a7386c760ad57f1.html http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/5/6/de3fad10626e89bc046f3aac95f72abf.html Akihabara. I did a write up a while back on this subject, but now we're seeing it enforced. These past few days during Golden Week, Akihabara had troves of police now marching like Nazi's with their little flags overtly compelling street performers to halt all activities. The excuse given a while back on the subject matter was that the streets were meant for walking and riding bikes. However, why the law enforcement?

I did reply to my friend that the cause was that the police were being sent by the yakuza, since the yakuza could not get an easy cut of the cost of a free street performance compared to an overpriced venue (remember pay-to-play?). Sadly enough, the street performers never really hurt anyone and in fact helped probably bolstered the numbers to Akihabara and expanded the types of people who would go.

In contrast, my other friend (a female) told me that when she went to Akihabara for a job interview, she got stalked by two geeks. This isn't the first time I've heard that. One of the Densha Otoko special series shows even parodied how these geeks would go photograph a young pretty lady if they showed up in Akihabara. Also, there were stories of geek kids getting beaten up by smaller groups for money, as the geeks kids were too cowardly and easy pickings for these groups.

When I look at both accounts on how justice is supposedly dealt out, I see completely misconstrued priorities on the subject. Shouldn't the police be doing something to stop perverts and bullies rather than focusing on street performers who just want to use the area to get some recognition? You never really see people getting hassled like that in Shibuya. That's pretty messed up.

Then there was an article over on JapanToday that described the Japanese court system with regards to how one film group is kinda showing a documentary. There was a fictionalized version of the court system as well as the criminal system. Essentially, if you're caught there's very little you can do. You lose all rights and your best bet is to grovel and apologize. Even if you're innocent, the investigators and police are trained to force you to plea guilty no matter what. It's a truly ruthless system, completely corrupted and quite frightening.

Now, I'm not saying other countries are perfect, even America. But some things are so blatantly misguided, it leaves me to wonder how the people can tolerate such injustices? For me, it's just not so fun here anymore.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 15:00:46 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/5/6/de3fad10626e89bc046f3aac95f72abf.html
