SLAVES IN PLAIN SIGHT

When I wrote my book, Escape From The Scalpel, it was because I wanted to open a few eyes and share, from direct experience, vital information about how the public is deceived at every turn. But, even before the book was completed I had already discovered the sad fact that many already know, yet don’t believe, or don’t care, or are afraid to face the truth, nor would they dare to speak out about k Read more of this blog post »

“Everything Is Everything And Nothing Is Nothing.”
Kalika, ESCAPE FROM THE SCALPEL: How To Bypass Bypass Surgery

“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
Mark Twain

“Everyone has his reasons." Octave (Jean Renoir) in "The Rules of the Game.”
Jean Renoir

“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even—if you will—eccentricity.”
Joseph Brodsky

The oppressors are our Leaders. We don't need them. They are the problem. They are unnecessary, but have brainwashed us into believing that they are. I am outraged right now because America is poised to enter the war in Syria. How can a bankrupt nation dare to go and try and fix something in another country when its own countrymen are dying and starving and being killed by militarized cops? The PTB has little regard for mankind. That should be obvious to anyone who is still breathing.

LOL...I can always expect the unexpected from you! If I had your mind, Edward, I would STAY on the bestseller list. You should start your own YouTube Channel. I promise you'll have MILLIONS of viewers - and that translates into hard, cold cash.


Kalika Kalika Hey, Edward! Good to hear from you. I'm fine, just knee deep in doing my videos and editing my new book, "Prisoners Of America's Slumlords." I barely come up for air these days. Just posted another video a few minutes ago. http://youtu.be/hexpSH3uFoM

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping I'm too insignificant to be a real threat. I don't have the large audiences others do, but I'm just doing my part to get the word out to the few who will listen. We all have to go sometime and I'd hate to leave here knowing I didn't do a damn thing to try and prevent the looming extinction of mankind as we know it.

LOL...We are kindred spirits, as I also have "severe difficulty lying." I know you've never watched "Unsung" on TV One where they highlight talented artists who are the best of the best but never received proper recognition. Edward, you are "Unsung." I know marketing is extremely expensive. I've been quoted prices of $21,000 and $14,000. I haven't stopped laughing. Nevertheless, you can actually buy success if you want it bad enough.

I keep forgetting to tell you that I looked up Patti Smith on YouTube and for the first time listened to her songs and saw her TV interviews! I cannot believe I had NEVER heard of her. How is that even possible?! But, thanks to you, I am now aware of the "Godmother of Punk."

And speaking of "For The People," I think my last video may have landed me on a "No Fly Watch List" or something. LOL! All I did was question the President. If that's a crime, so be it. http://youtu.be/FAo9OhlgW64

Hmmmm. Thanks for figuring that out. I'll try it, and yes I've been very busy, but I've finally launched my YouTube Channel,For The People. It's a lot of work, but loads of fun!

Wow! Coming from you, Edward, that is quite a compliment, because you, also, can be quite vicious :) But, great minds think alike.

Thank you!

You're welcome. It's rare for a quote to get my attention, but this one reminded me of how often we hide our real self because we don't know who we are; then often in a split second it is revealed, and the revelation is met with surprise, and sometimes fright.
