Whether for Sanders, Clinton, Trump, Stein, Johnson or any other candidate... Go sign this and make the TPP trade deal stop. If you don't, you will find yourself out of a job, your country with a failed economy and other nations and international corporations suing the United States if (or I should say WHEN) we realize it is a horrible, disastrous idea (and one that's already been causing our economy to fail for decades in various other forms) and we decide to change it back - since that will not be an option. Just do it! (y)

I hope this comes as an eye-opening shock and a very sad day in America for the unenlightened and poorly informed citizens who have been believing all the crap that the major candidates, President and 'bought and paid for' mainstream media has been shoveling at them for a long, long time. . Those terrorists your government are always saying are so bad...al Nusra, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood - YEP! They're on Washington's payroll...what a damned disgrace - and even more, that people in America haven't figured it out yet. Clinton is funding them, Obama (the man of 'peace' - who's been at war the entire 8 years of his Presidency - is protecting them and they're twisting every story by every nation out there that are trying to actually keep the peace into a lie. They will shortly be starting a 3rd World War and, when that begins, you can rest assured that any struggle or suffering you faced in the past will look like a field trip compared to what is coming. . Why, you ask? They want to destabilize the last stable Middle Eastern nation (Syria), whose own people actually support the government - especially as the enemy is foreign, terroristic and trying hard to murder everyone there (the allied West and their employed terrorists). Meanwhile, America bombs them, sanctions the people in need and prevents them from seeking safety (clear evidence - and there's more below). . Did you really think Assad would destroy his own country and future? Of course not...he is trying to preserve and improve it - and fighting one of the most evil enemies on Earth - the Western Imperialists who believe they can take over other countries at will and deny them sovereignty. . This is what America and other Western nations have been doing for decades to all nations that are not owned by the 'New World Order' Rothschilds and other corporations, banks, politicians who all believe they can run the world as they see fit - clearly in violation of ethics, international law and all that is good. . It makes me sick to be from such a race of humans and from such a nation as one who would do whatever they please - when they would clearly not allow anyone to do the same to them. It is blatant political, international, corporate, financial and inhumane crime...there is no other way to look at it...and it must end NOW. . Or...al Qaeda, America's 'old friends' that turned on them (did they or were they created by them?)...will do so again. If you look closely - keep looking closer and closer - soon, you will see that the REAL enemy is the imperialist Western governments, owned and controlled by plutocrats, oligarchs and dictators as well as their masters - the corporations, financiers and bankers. . Wake up or you may find that your country has been sold right out from under you...to terrorists much worse than the likes of al Qaeda, al Nusra and the Muslim Brotherhood - the 1%...

Clinton supporters have got to be either highly misinformed or willfully ignorant and/or suffering from cognitive bias to believe that the Clintons are in any way innocent or fit for public office. Considering the past convictions, confirmed violations and lies which are not only abundant in nature but growing heavily on a daily basis, there is no possible way that could be true - since it already is false. . I just hope these people are as highly motivated when it comes to eating crow - once she is finally put away - as they are now while trying to promote such a train wreck of a Presidential candidate. . Considering how bad a candidate Donald Trump is, I find it shocking that anyone could rival or even outshine him with regard to non-electability. . I find it even more tragic that anyone would support either of them. I also cannot imagine how Americans can still have a shred of national pride when this is the best that the electorate could come up with. I'm sure the founding fathers would be moving to Canada right now if they were still alive...or going on a killing spree (kinda' like the Clintons, perhaps). . But, of course, people will likely just lie about who they voted for - as usual - unless they've been smearing that ignorance all over their Facebook profiles. Those people better start closing their accounts and starting new ones now. . For those who don't post political things, smart move...maybe. Then again, it could be in order to avoid that karma and hassle of opening a new account (cowardice) or because of apathy - neither of which is wise, ho eat or healthy. . Then again, they could be keeping it to themselves, since it's a private thing and they don't really have to post it. Too bad many people don't do the same with religion. . It's ok, people tend to have short-term memories...but not all people. I guess we'll see how things turn out in a few more months. That should be exciting! . Enjoy yourselves... We may not have that luxury for rooming longer unless people stop throwing ethics and moral responsibility under the bus. It seems to be 'The American Way' these days...if not a tragic global initiative. There's certainly no pleasant future in that! (y)

Spacewalkers Successfully Install New Docking Adapter for Commercial Crew Flights -  

Here's some incredible music from a guy whom I had the great pleasure of watching perform live with Carlos Santana. Both their huge bands were playing together and the show was off the hook! Their music complemented each other very well. In fact, he was a big fan of Carlos's and recorded a version of a Santana song (Samba Pa Ti), which Carlos heard, and they decided to put together a tour with their bands playing together - the tour I saw. . I think it goes without saying that Santana was suitably impressed. This was before 'Supernatural (Santana album)' but Carlos Santana has been working with other artists for a long time and, in fact, this was probably one of the factors that won him 9 Grammy Awards after so many years in the business. [It was about TIME!] . Back in those days, Ottmar Liebert was fairly popular in many, including progressive, music circles. I used to listen to his music when I was recovering from surgery (I was gutted like a catfish and had to stay on my back for months until I recovered) because the music really put me at ease and disconnected my mind from the pain. . Over the years, I've often wondered whatever happened to him, since he seemed to drift away with the wind - then again, it was always strictly about the music to him, as opposed to fame and fortune, which is easy to notice while you watch him play. It's not a stretch to realize that Germans are very serious about their music. This probably goes back hundreds of - years to Classical music. One thing that is difficult to believe is how a German could possibly play Flamenco so well that it probably rivals most other Flamenco and/or Mariachi guitarists I've heard - and I've heard many. . I suppose you just have to check it out for yourself! ;) . Here's the most recent live performance I've seen from him - still together with his band, Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra. This is probably the most stunning and amazing Flamenco guitar I've ever heard in my life. . I hope you enjoy it as much as I do - every time I listen to it! (y)

I've been saying this for years. This is karma... Bigots and racists, your time is coming to an end. It won't be long now until you have to sit in your little shacks with your tinfoil hats on, hating and hating while the rest of the world goes on around you or driving through large volumes of people you can't even speak honestly to (because they'll probably hurt you for being scumbags) just to get over to your other narrow-minded 'friends' and share your hate-fest with them. The world is changing and, whether you like it or not, it will not be in your favor. If you refuse to adapt to the changing world around you - you will be buried by it...like so much cat :poop: in a litter box.
