Well it's been awhile since I wrote in here, but I have seen more things and experienced a bit mroe life, so I have a few more things to say I guess.
First let me set the stage by giving you a few links to give you an idea of the impact of my upcoming statements:

That should give you a pretty good idea of where we're at.
I think at this point trying to find a little peice of happiness or security is just about as much as one could really ask for. As difficult as that may be there are a few things to keep in mind.
The fact that we ARE living in a disposable society, there is a lack of respect and TRUST. Because of commercialism everyone is out to make a buck. It's all about money and nothing more than money. Love is here but hard to find because of this.
Sepratism is also another result of equal rights, making it even harder to find love. every man woman and child is out there for themselves and all the while you have Cathlic churches housing pedifiles that speak the word of god. Politicians lying through their teeth, robbing us blind of our very own resources. Terrorists far away and terrorist that live right amongst us.
When it comes right down to the bottom line you have to ask yourself, "Do I have a conscience?". Do I know wrong from right? Do I always do the right thing? Can I adapt? Should I make some changes? Is it too late?
Just food for thought, just thought I would lay it out this way today and see what you might think about this beautiful world we live in, aside from mother nature, the man made world seems to SUCK.

The Truth About the Federal Reserve Bank
The truth about the federal reserve
Dear American:
Pursuant to your request, I will attempt to clear up questions you have about the Federal Reserve Bank (FED). I spent much time researching the FED and these are the shocking and revealing conclusions.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof. Today however, the FED, which is a privately owned company, controls and profits by printing money through the Treasury, and regulating its value.
The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners (stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share - the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison (Reference 1, 14). The FED banking system collects billions of dollars (Reference 8, 17) in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money (through the Treasury) at no interest to the FED. The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud (Reference 1,2,3,5,17).
Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed:
Rothschild Bank of London
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Lehman Brothers of New York
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
(Reference 14, P. 13, Reference 12, P. 152)
These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America (our forefathers were fighting their own government), they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt (Reference 4, 22).
The individuals listed below owned banks which in turn owned shares in the FED. The banks listed below have significant control over the New York FED District, which controls the other 11 FED Districts. These banks also are partly foreign owned and control the New York FED District Bank. (Reference 22)
First National Bank of New York
James Stillman National City Bank, New York
Mary W. Harnman
National Bank of Commerce, New York
A.D. Jiullard
Hanover National Bank, New York
Jacob Schiff
Chase National Bank, New York
Thomas F. Ryan
Paul Warburg
William Rockefeller
Levi P. Morton
M.T. Pyne
George F. Baker
Percy Pyne
Mrs. G.F. St. George
J.W. Sterling
Katherine St. George
H.P. Davidson
J.P. Morgan (Equitable Life/Mutual Life)
Edith Brevour T. Baker
(Reference 4 for above, Reference 22 has details, P. 92, 93, 96, 179)
How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation (Reference 3, 4, 5). When elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied (referring to the FED), "I have unwittingly ruined my country" (Reference 17, P. 31).
Now the banks financially back sympathetic candidates. Not surprisingly, most of these candidates are elected (Reference 1, P. 208-210, Reference 12, P. 235, Reference 14, P. 36). The bankers employ members of the Congress on weekends (nickname T&T club -out Thursday...-in Tuesday) with lucrative salaries (Reference 1, P. 209). Additionally, the FED started buying up the media in the 1930's and now owns or significantly influences most of it Reference 3, 10, 11, P. 145).
Presidents Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy tried to stop this family of bankers by printing U.S. dollars without charging the taxpayers interest (Reference 4). Today, if the government runs a deficit, the FED prints dollars through the U.S. Treasury, buys the debt, and the dollars are circulated into the economy. In 1992, taxpayers paid the FED banking system $286 billion in interest on debt the FED purchased by printing money virtually cost free (Reference 12, P. 265). Forty percent of our personal federal income taxes goes to pay this interest. The FED's books are not open to the public. Congress has yet to audit it.
Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.
Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduces legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 nearly every year. It's always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress (Reference 12, P. 155-163, Reference 22, P. 158, 159, 166).
THE FED FEARS THE POPULATION WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS FRAUD AND DEMAND CHANGE
We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue.

Euro Replacing Dollar
It's not a good time to be holding dollars. Even Alan Greenspan gets it. Reuters reports:
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Thursday both private investors and central bank were shifting away from the U.S. dollar and toward the euro.
"We're beginning to see some move from the dollar to the euro, both from the private sector ... but also from monetary authorities and central banks," Greenspan told a conference sponsored by the Commercial Finance Association.
Not only from the private sector "but also from monetary authorities and central banks." Russia is the latest country to be moving assets out of the dollar. Keep your under the matress money in gold, not dollars.

Chemtrails
Really?
This is a photo of ChemTrails, what are chemtrials? read on and find out.
The people we TRUST.

Introduction
If you are unfamiliar with the subject of chemtrails, you should first read this general overview of the chemtrail spraying operations which began in earnest in late 1997. Without an introductory overview, it's difficult to understand the significance of the later informaiton being presented here. After that, you can read the 'new and recent' information posted below.
While it's initially surprising to realize that chemtrail spraying can be easily confirmed by merely looking up into the sky on any given day in most locations (with the notable exception of China, the ideal of the New World Order state which is being groomed to replace the USA), it's much more daunting to come to grips with the realization that chemtrails are primarily intended to reduce the world's population by roughly 85%.
However, methods have been discovered (discussed below) to neutralize chemtrails and return your sky to a normal blue with real clouds taking the place of the chemtrail haze and overcast which a host of disinformation peddlers are trying to convince you are just ordinary, "cirrus" clouds that "are formed from persistent contrails" (current disinformation spiel from government climatological web sites).
This "rescue" effort of neutralizing and transmuting the toxic elements in chemtrails was initiated in early 2002 with the introduction of a device called the "chembuster" which will transmute the atmospheric energy envelope from one polarity which allow chemtrails to persist, to another polarity which will cause chemtrails to disperse and fall apart. The proliferation of chembusters around the country led to another dramatic development in early 2004- legions of huge air elemental beings called "Sylphs" by ancient Greeks made their presence known by assuming cloud shapes that often look like wispy winged angels or animal forms (there are dozens of photos of Sylphs posted on the Sylph /Chemtrail page) who set about "cleaning up" the skies of chemtrail toxins by engulfing and transmuting chemtrail toxins into non-toxic substances.
If you're just finding out about chemtrails, you should read the earlier articles to understand the full extent and gravity of the chemtrail undertaking, but bear in mind that we have turned a corner on combating chemtrails and have now thrown a huge spanner wrench into the Dark Side's finely oiled Genocide Machine-from which they will NOT recover. If you want to hasten the demise of the chemtrail spraying program, please take the time to read about orgone generators, chembusters, and the use of your mind-with focused intent- to rid the sky of these poisons.
Just Google Chemtrials and see for yourself.

The Meaning of Life
Yes I am actually going to tell you the meaning of life, believe it or not. This topic has many views and many opinions, but I am sure that once you have read what I have learned that soon you too will see what I am talking about as far as the meaning of life is concerned.
When I sat down at the edge of the bed that my father lay in at the Surrey Memorial Hospital In British Columbia. My father was terminally diagnosed with a brian tumor, he fought this battle for six months and lost to this deadly illness we call cancer. As I sat at his bedside I could see and hear my fathers final disposition.
It was not about the acolades on the wall, or the cars in the driveway, or the house, the mortgage or any possession he owned. It was about memories, it was about the lives he had touched & the people that have touched his life.
Funny thing is, like I mentioned in an article about suicide and the ride. Once the ride is done you want to go back and do it again. My father said these words " I want to start over again".
Whatever it is that make us get up every morning and carry on with our lives, some of us give up and don't want to play anymore. My words to these type of people are: Um yeah, don't be lazy just do it, try and then try again, then try again, have fun doing it, make fun out of nothing that's what I do.
I could quit too, but I'm here out of respect for my father. I'm sure there is someone you want to make proud. If you feel you have let someone down then hey you still have the rest of your life to offer something.
The meaning of life:
It's about creating memories, living out your journey of adventures, living your life to the fullest, giving everything you have and then a little bit more. My father gave everything he had and in the end he left with nothing materialistic, but took with him an enormous amount of memories. He touched so many lives. He was a very generous man always giving of his time and help for so many people over the years.
Ny father was a city administrator, a member of the masonic lodge and a father to five kids whom he provided for with above average effort. There are not enough words I could type to praise him. The only thing I can really say to sum it up is that I can only try to become half the man he is.
The meaning of life is about creating memories and living out your adventures on your journey through life, so that when your lying on your death bed you will have many good and bad memories to take with you.
So if the meaning of life is to create good memories and touch lives then why are we all treating each other like the kid in the sandbox that won't let you play with one of his toys. This is our country that one is yours this is our oil that is your lumber this is our fresh water. Guess what it is all a gift to all of us, we need to learn to share more and deal with our problems better. Africa and other parts of the world are starving and ill from disease, but we can't just give them our resources or we'll lose our power? what is wrong with our society today, everyone is out for themselves and not caring about their neighbours.
We are all family here on this little planet and we all share in it's resources.
Start creating some good memories NOW and most importantly start to share more, like the planet does with us.

Are you suicidal?
SUICIDE is a permanent solution to any problem. First of all lets take a look at the big picture. You were one out of literally billions of sperm that made it to that egg and you made it to this world and you have grown into some hard times. Hard times come and go, as well as good times.
While you are here in this world you will be pushed to your limits and tested by all sources of good and evil. God gave you free will to choose for yourself and you know what is wrong and what is right, usually through your own conscience.
In the bible it say "Thou shall not kill", not only that but that your body is the temple of god, to take what god gave you and destroy it would be like someone taking a gift you bought them and destroying it right in front of you.
Admitting that your not worthy of staying here on earth is only proof that you have a lot to improve in your life, which in turn says that you have a purpose all in it's own. To become a better person, not for yourself, but for the sake of humanity.
My father passed away six years ago from cancer of the brian and for a few years after his death I spent time, daily, thinking about my purpose here on earth and why my father lost his battle to cancer at the age of 71 years old when there were people older than my father beating cancer. WHY? Is that fair? Should I take it personal? NO it is not my place to judge my own fathers existence, but it is my responsibility our of respect to my father to become the best person that I can in his absence.
For a time I thought about suicide, I'm sure we all do from one time to another. I just have too much will to live to find myself attempting such a silly act. Giving up only admits defeat and I will not give up and let anyone or any ERA control how I feel about my own life, because I know that todays really cool slang saying or song or attitude is only here for awhile until the next greatest fad. Why should I get hung up on something that is ONLY Temporary in my life. Suicide is not the answer.

POST SCRIPT Take a moment out of your life and stand at the edge of some water and watch the sun rise, it's the most inspiring thing you will ever see, all the while remembering that life isn't a destination, but a journey. There are scary parts and fun parts like any ride at an amusement park, you don't jump off the ride, you take it for all it's worth right to the end, for good or bad.
In most cases when the ride is done you want to go back and try it again. Life is that ride you can never really predict the end of, so hang on and enjoy all the bumps and turns, the ups and the downs, when it's done, you can't go back and do it again.

WE ALL HAVE CHOICES
I watched the Sunday Morning CBC News with excitement to see a segment called: "Healing The Planet, One Step At A Time." What does it take for a busy urban doctor to reduce his carbon-emissions footprint to nearly zero? As the government defends its controversial new green plan, we meet a man who's taking matters into his own hands.
Words from editor Jonathon Psycho: I haven't had a drivers license for over two years now. I have lost almost 100 lbs, I'm healthier, I ride a bike or take the bus, or rent a cab or a limo for special events. Either way you slice it I have more money to live because I don't have to pay for automotive insurance, maintenance, gas which seems to keep the automotive owner on the edge of their seats with the roller coaster ride of prices, not to mention a finance or lease payment every month.
Every year most people find it very difficult to contribute to their own RRSP, yet they have no problem spending handfuls of cash on their need to remain lazy to the convenience of a vehicle. Consumers do not realize that the automotive industry is a big machine that keeps pumping out vehicles of all shapes and sizes for every persons possible need, just to sell more products.
These products are contributing to the problems that we all face on a daily basis. Just look at what everyone is saying: http://www.willyoujoinus.com/?source=paidsearch
Realize that in this day and age with the government forcing us to be double income families, the need to save for our future doesn't just mean saving with your RRSP but saving our natural resources or at least using them in a way that promotes healthier lifestyles.

(Holly Woods - Toronto): I remember working with Barney on ASSAULT & FLATTERY. We were having a spaghetti supper on his boat talking about my career as a solo artist. We'd just finished writing one of the tracks. He co-wrote, produced, played guitar - did practically everything on alot of that record. He sat in the control room while Darby and I sang "Cats & Dogs" and we just laughed the whole time. He was definitely one of a kind.

It was one of the worst days of my life, like the day the music died. I went to Brians funeral on Thursday April the 30th of 1992, at the Redeemer Lutheran Church. It was a hot afternoon and Bill Henderson played "Four Men" on his guitar and sang on the stage beside Brians coufin and beside that was a large photo of Brian Too Loud Maclead.
There were a lot of people there that day and as the bag pipes played following Brian to the Hertz that awaited outside, people followed.
The Interment was conducted at the Ocean View Burial Park, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He was placed beside a beautiful tree.
I periodically would visit Brian and as I sat there in the peace of god I could hear the children play at a close nearby school. Every time I would visit Brian I would notice that his flower pot was empty and no flowers had been placed, so I would place some and think about the fun days when Brian was here with all of us, sharing his talent to bring us all closer together. I miss that the most.

There is a lesson here somewhere I am sure.
I see kids delaying their responsibillities and hiding from their chores, I see a lot of people delaying their dreams because they have to stay on the roller coaster ride that only allows them so much time to do the things they really love.
Brian went for what he wanted and the only thing that stopped him was Cancer, actually it was pneumonia that got him in the end, but nevertheless he was a fighter and we went for it all the way. Never put off today what you could have done yesterday and you will find yourself further then every before.
With enormous amounts of love and respect to all who knew Brian, BARNEY, Too Loud, Macleod, his family, friends & fans.
You will never be forgotten Brian, we love you and miss you, the world is truely at a loss without your touch of magic.
