60 Minutes: Another Good Reason to Occupy Foreclosed Homes?
[LESS INFO] 13 VIEWS | ADDED 02:00:38 12/20/11
[Note: If you have any trouble viewing this video, try it on the 60 Minutes homepage here .]
Yet another good reason to occupy homes: Foreclosure thieves have gone high tech. They know when evictions are occurring because they're posted online. And they will follow the sheriff. They're usually there that afternoon or that evening.
Across America, recession-fueled foreclosures and plummeting home values have left countless properties abandoned and vulnerable to looting. As Scott Pelley reports in the above video, the problem has gotten so bad in Cleveland, Ohio, that county officials have demolished more than 1,000 homes this year - and plan to demolish 20,000 more - rather than let the blight spread and render nearby homes worthless.
Jim Rokakis, a former county treasurer, explains why to 60 Minutes : >
Jim Rokakis: We're looking at a neighborhood that has almost as many vacant houses awaiting demolition as there are houses with people living in them. We have one here. One here. One here. One there.
Rokakis is leading the effort to tear down thousands of abandoned homes because they're rotting their neighborhoods from the inside out. It often starts, he told us, when a vacant house becomes an open house to thieves.
Scott Pelley: It's a nice house from the roof to about here. And then down here it's been ripped to pieces. What's goin' on?
Rokakis: Well this is typical because this is as high as they could reach without using ladders. They ripped off the aluminum siding, which you'll see on most of these houses. The aluminum and the vinyl siding comes off. It's getting' about a buck a pound.
Pelley: Essentially foreclosure scavengers have been through here?
Rokakis: The thieves have gone high tech. They know when evictions are occurring 'cause they're posted online. And they will follow the sheriff. They're usually there that afternoon or that evening.
CBS reports that 11 million homeowners are said to be "underwater," or owing more than their house is worth. It's believed that even more neighborhoods would fall into ruin if it weren't for the people who refuse to walk away from their homes, even it might be best for them financially.
Pelley speaks with Linda Bizzelle of Cleveland, who has refused to give up on her home: >
Her house is worth 50,000, she owes a hundred. A financial planner might tell her to put something away for retirement rather than pay a mortgage that will never recover. Especially, since she lost her job in nursing last April.
Pelley: What have you been cutting back on?
Bizzelle: Sometimes food. I would go to the food bank in order to make up the difference, so that I wouldn't be completely hungry. Sometimes I wouldn't get my medications renewed and I would have difficulty with that because I really need my medications. I take medication for high blood pressure. And my doctor could always tell when I didn't take 'em and I said, "Oh no, you can't do that. No No."
Pelley: You're living on unemployment right now?
Bizzelle: Yes.
Pelley: What about the next mortgage payment?
Bizzelle: I'm gonna pray. That's the best I can do. I'm gonna pray that I find a job.

Thank You - For the Occupation, For the Intensity, For Lettin' Me Be Myself Again
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 17:30:23 11/25/11
It's like the old-timers always said: Don't quit before the miracle happens.
While the Arab Spring showed that people can still accomplish the impossible, Our political debate was frozen in corporate cynicism. Now everything has changed. For the United States, spring came in autumn. Who says miracles don't happen?
Like a Prayer
A few months ago I prayed for something. Granted, it wasn't the kind of prayer that's sanctioned by any ecclesiastical authority. And, okay, maybe it wasn't exactly a "prayer." I guess the technical term for it would be "blog post." But trust me, it was a prayer.
I'd been asked to write something for the Fourth of July, and I wrote we have to fight a new war, a " war of independence from corporate politics ." To be honest, those words felt Utopian even as I wrote them. Still, I never doubted them. The words were born out of the desperate sense that so many of us shared, a sense that our society is collapsing. And that it will keep on collapsing unless we change the way we think.
I wasn't arguing for any particular policy or platform. "The problem isn't just with politicians, or even the system," I said then. "The problem is dependence itself."
Oh, come on. How starry-eyed can you get? Stop depending on politicians? Declare psychic and political independence from celebrity-driven politics and media-made leaders? I'd always considered myself a realist, but this was almost embarrassingly idealistic.
Except for the fact that it happened.
Passionate Intensity
Like so many others, I had grieved and raged over the lack of commitment displayed by good people. Cynics, robber barons, and American warlords are hard at work degrading - and downgrading - this country. In a strange set of parallels, we were reenacting the stories of the Third World countries we'd invaded. Like them, we were becoming a nation where servile or fearful politicians served a cynical oligarchy while the people's way of life died all around them.
Some might call it karma - or simply "payback."
But whatever you call it, the forces of hate and greed were running wild. The "two-party" system seemed to offer nothing in response except a) posturing, b) surrender, and c) a politics of compromise that seemed to amount to little more than ... well, see "a)" and "b)", above. Good people were fighting for better policies, and I tried to play my part. But too many of us focused on the prose of politics and not its poetry.
Meanwhile, too many politicians got lazy quoting Bill Clinton's hack line: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It can be, of course. But before our eyes, the "good" became the enemy of the "perfect" and the mediocre became the enemy of the good. Then the cynical became the enemy of the mediocre, and democracy began to die.
Meanwhile the other side gained its momentum with every passing month, fueled by a pseudo-populist movement ginned up by corporate-funded political hacks. A nation that had rejected the politics of greed and oligarchy at the ballot box was even more suffocated by it than before. No wonder so many people were uninspired, discouraged, despondent. Some people quoted William Butler Yeats:
The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
The good people who did burn with passionate intensity were in danger of turning the torch on themselves. " The game is over," wrote Chris Hedges . "We lost. The corporate state will continue its inexorable advance until two-thirds of the nation is locked into a desperate, permanent underclass."
As boom times came back to Wall Street, depression - emotional as well as economic - entombed the majority. But the suffering of the majority turned invisible inside the Beltway, as politicians debated deficits in a broken economy. It was like debating water conservation while the house burned down.
The Condition of Everything
Miles of commentary have been written about the Occupy movement. As the occupations gained steam, people criticized them for their lack of specific policy demands. But they were right not to issue specific demands. They were declaring independence from a frame of mind, a set of assumptions that led to passive acceptance of an unacceptable system.
And they had passionate intensity.
I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again: When OccupyDC marched down K Street, in the early days of the movement, a young security guard asked an older one what they were protesting. "I'm not sure," said the older man. "But I think they're objecting to ..." He circled his hands to indicate the environment around him. ".... the condition of everything. "
By objecting to the condition of everything, the Occupiers changed the political dialog in this country. By rejecting leaders and insisting on self-governance through General Assemblies, they taught us by example how to escape emotional dependence. Like William Butler Yeats, they understood that you can't distinguish the dancer from the dance.
One of the movement's most articulate and forceful advocates is Chris Hedges.
Recalling Democracy
The Wisconsin uprising had been going on for months, even in the dark days of July. The miracle of Wisconsin is that it's still going on. People there occupied their capitol to protest laws designed to break the middle class, laws written by corporate America's "ALEC" division. Then they mounted recall efforts against recently elected GOP State Senators, reducing their majority and draining resources from their coffers.
Now Gov. Walker is facing a recall. The struggle in Wisconsin isn't about "Democrats" against "Republicans." It's about resisting politicians that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of corporate America.
The people of Wisconsin showed the country how to resist. Now they're showing us how to persist.
And just this month, Ohio voters rejected an ALEC-inspired initiative to strip that state's workers of rights. Maine voters rejected a move to overturn election-day registration, another attempt to restrict the ability of lower-income citizens to vote. And Mississippi rejected a definition of prenatal rights so extreme that many anti-abortion advocates were disturbed by its implications for the rights, health, and safety of women.
Like I was saying: Miracles.
Radical Innocence
But elections aren't the point. They can be a reflection of the change we need, but they're not the change itself. The real changes are personal. "When I remake a song," said Yeats, "it is myself that I remake." The Rolling Stones said "It's the singer, not the song."
We misunderstood our own power. We were being distracted and manipulated by fear and anger. Our minds, our souls, were being manipulated by what the Native American poet and activist John Trudell calls "the mining of the essence." One of the reasons we were powerless is that we believed we were powerless. That's even true economically. "All money is a matter of belief," said Adam Smith.
We needed to push our fear and anger away to see the obvious truths all around us: The corporations rule our political process. That our democracy is dying. That Wall Street is filled with people who broke moral (and sometimes actual) laws and forced the rest of the country to pay the price. We had to see with fresh eyes.
"All hatred driven hence," wrote Yeats, "the soul recovers radical innocence."
Our political process has become too cynical. Even reasonable and very moderate ideas favored by a majority of Republican voters, as well as others - a breakup of five or six too-big-to-fail banks, a public option health plan that's only available to one American in twenty - were declared impossible.
We needed an infusion of radical innocence, the innocence of Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. We sometimes think of innocence as something childlike and weak. But innocence has great power. Innocence changes the world.
We needed that radical innocence,and we got it. What we do with it now is up to us.
Can we commit ourselves to moving forward, to persevering against all odds? The future's unwritten. But we know what's happening right now. The political dialog has shifted in a way that seemed impossible a few months ago. I don't know how you feel about that, but I know how I feel.
I feel thankful. So thankful, in fact, that I'm gonna let Sam & Dave tell you all about it. Take it away, fellas:

Gimme Mitt (President Romney 2012)
as seen on www.youtube.com/longibsonmusic "I don't usually feel this way about a candidate. The last time was 1980 and Reagan. I said he would become one of our greatest presidents. Only once in a generation or two does a candidate come along who not only is timely and qualified, but also worthy to lead us. I feel that way about Mitt. After the Mitt dinner at JP Millers home near Devon, PA in October, I drove home singing "Gimme Mitt". At 3:00am that morning the song and words were written. Three plus months later after relearning Pro Tools, and producing the song in my home studio, I am sending this heart-felt campaign song to you. Thank you for helping me spread my/our feelings about Mitt through song." Yours, Lon Gibson Let us pray that the hearts of the American people will be able to see him for what he is a great leader, patriot and the most successful businessman ever to run for president of the United States.

Caution; God at Work
[LESS INFO] 364 VIEWS | ADDED 02:43:31 11/02/10
Work,does God mean for you to know and experience him there? Recall one instance where you've met God at work. Think about it for a while. “House-building, measuring, sawing the boards, Blacksmithing, glass-blowing, nail-making, coopering, tin-roofing, shingle-dressing, Ship-joining, dock-building, fish-curing, flagging of sidewalks by flaggers, The pump, the pile-driver, the great derrick, the coal-kiln and brickkiln, Coal-mines and all that is down there, the lamps in the darkness, echoes, songs, what meditations…” Walt Whitman, A Song for Occupations “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Genesis 1:28, TNIV "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’” Jesus in Matthew 6:9-10, TNIV “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 “He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.” Ephesians 2:10, MSG

firestarter bible study: John 5:1-30
[LESS INFO] 20 VIEWS | ADDED 16:55:00 07/21/10
READ: John 5:1-30
THINK: A lot of people today talk about relating to God, but people cannot relate to God without receiving His Son, Jesus, who is himself God. The Father has entrusted all life, authority and judgment to His Son. If a person does not respond and relate to Jesus as the Forgiver of their sins and Leader of their life, it doesn%rsquot matter what else they think or believe about God. According to His Word, no one can connect with God and experience eternal life apart from Jesus.
RESPOND: How is the account of Jesus healing the man at the pool encouraging? (See 5:5 note.) What can you learn about healing and faith from this situation? (See 5:9 note.) How will true followers of Jesus view the issue of sin in their own lives? (See 5:14 note.) Why did the religious leaders oppose, persecute and even seek to kill Jesus? (See 5:16 note.) What can you learn from Jesus%rsquo example of dependence on His Father (v. 19)? What claims does Jesus make in verses 18-27 that show how He relates to and is equal with God the Father? (See 5:18-24 note.) What does it mean to truly %ldquohear%rdquo and %ldquobelieve%rdquo God%rsquos Word? (See 5:24 note.) In what ways must a Christian continue to hear and believe? What does it mean that those who have eternal life will not be condemned? (See 5:24 note.) In what ways will they still be held accountable? What is the basis of God%rsquos judgment of all people? (See 5:29 note.) Though our own ef-
forts and works cannot save us spiritually, why are good works still important? What does it mean that Jesus has %ldquolife inhimself,%rdquoandhowdoesthisrelatetopeopleexperiencingrealandeternallife?(See5:26note.)Inwhatwaysdo people condemn themselves in how they relate to or respond to God? (See 5:29 note.)
PRAY: Pray for the healing of someone who has been ill or impaired for a long time. Ask God to expose any persis- tent sin in your life and to help you remove it promptly. Pray that you stay dependent on God for wisdom, guidance and strength in every aspect of life. Praise Jesus for His righteous life and judgment and for the fact that He is God.
ACT: Visit or contact the person you just prayed for, simply to see how they%rsquore doing and to have casual conversation. Encourage them and let them know that you%rsquore praying. Pray during your conversation if the individual is open to that.

Here is the number one watched music video on kitty cats! It has a nice balance between the unique personalities of cats and the deep love and affection that they create in their owners. Enjoy!
LYRICS: I got this little kitty about 2 months back he was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack This little kitty is a ninja, always stalking my feet This little kitty is a warrior you know what I mean
he's an evil little kitty look what he did to my hand tries to get in trouble in any way that he can I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper
You could lock him in a closet and he just won't care kitty chews on my shoes and he licks my hair always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch playing in the window sills and tearing through the house
He's so full of energy and easily amused kitty will attack anything that moves Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of he's a meanest little kitty so we named him sparta
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite
Where'd you go are you stalking me? are you under the couch, quite possibly ears laid back so you don't get caught ready to pounce my leg with everything that you got
I know you're probably watching me from across the room concentrating contemplating on attacking me soon You're not invisible kitty, I'm gonna find you first Come out come out before I make things worse
I've seen where you hide and I know where you've been Hey kitty why don't you give in Even if you try to sneak up on me, I'm prepared Cause I've got my safety gear on and I'm not scared
I think I hear a kitty cat under the bed I know your making noises just to mess with my head You can stalk me all you want, but I'm not your pray cause you always seem to find me first, but not today
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight Come on out, I'm gonna get you now
I've got 'em cornered and now he's mine He's not gonna get away this time I'll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then... Aw man! He's asleep in the sink
What is with this cat? I'm confused He's got a bed, but it's never been used In every waking moment, kitty's out for the fight then [fart] next minute kitty's out like a light
How could I let this creature live inside of my home I gotta keep an eye on him when I'm on the phone I'm a little afraid to leave this cat all alone this kitty may destroy everything that I own
Look at him now, I kinda feel bad He's the best little cat that I've had and the one big thing I forgot to mention, was that He wasn't fighting, he just wanted attention
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight showing love, that's all this kitty does
BEHIND THE SCENES If you have a cat, I'm sure you can relate, lol. I originally wrote the song because I didn't want to do a simple talking blog about my Sparta's little biting problem and I also wanted to show my friends back home in Turlock what my new place in Thousand Oaks looks like.. BTW, trying to get a cat to perform for a music video... nearly impossible! lol Thanks for watching

The Quantum Metaphysical
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 13:14:53 03/20/10
The Quantum Metaphysical Hi Everyone, For everyone that has followed Victor’s recordings, and now Maylor’s, you have probably noticed some unbelievable things happening. Some of which include apparitions in the videos, electronic voice phenomena and much talk about prophecy and religion. There is so much going on that it is often hard to grasp the reality of it all. In this recording Maylor clearly mentions Sigmund Freud and “The Quantum Metaphysical.” After he said it I did a search and found an interesting article. Here is the link to it. http://www.boloji.com/spirituality/077.htm In short it talks about how science, spirituality and religion intertwine and how some believe there are other planes of existence that we are unaware of. Much of what this article talks about, myself and others have experienced personally while working with the budgies. I also did a search on Sigmund Freud and found some interesting theories that relate to what Maylor is saying. This one is on analyzing dreams. http://www.insomnium.co.uk/text/freud.htm and Sigmund even had theories of quantum physics as early as 1928. In the recording Maylor says that we are about to evolve in his theories. In other words, some of the theories may have a good grounds but there is still much to learn in the areas. I have to also mention that a scientist Rupert Sheldrake is also doing similar work with talking parrot that supports much of the phenomena that we are experiencing. You may want to check out his website at http://www.sheldrake.org/nkisi/ Just to let you know I have much experience in dream interpretations and spirituality since I have been working with the budgies, but I really have no idea where Maylor is going to take us from here. We may be getting an opportunity to learn something here that goes far beyond what anyone could imagine. This is what Maylor says: Maylor says: Hear this warning. We're not stopping this. Do you know that little budgies dream like you? The theories of Sigmund Freud are evolving with us. His spirit has to cross the river. Now let's give everyone time to travel. The life of a budgie can resurrect something. We're about to evolve. This gathering will seek knowledge. It shows you spiritually why we need a spiritual cleansing of love here(not clear) I want to keep a path of logic It will be a good story as long as the source here works for God. Does he try in front of a whole bunch of people? I'll speak a lot of how we have begun to know things from the quantum metaphysical and prophecy It's kind of like scifi next summer. Where it's been good we'll see it's filled with prophecies that manage the time approaching. We must seek knowledge. Do you read me? You have an observer. Now this budgie of Ryan, he will confirm with a vision or dream. Nobody will take a risk when I'm right. This budgie knows. Whatever I claim here will follow. My mentor is reaching far and teaching with love. Can we pray here? Join this project of prophecies. We hold the next gathering with some friends. Vocabulary after 11 recordings 450 words.

Image: Wasserman / Boston Globe Iranians had been further threatened with violence today, and it looks like the Ayatollah delivered on it. The free elections movement attempted to gather at Baharestan Square, near the parliament, in late afternoon. Khamenei's forces were out in force.
Citizen journalist persiankiwi was in the square, and I take the liberty of taking his series of tweets out of crimped-speak .> Just in from Baherestan Square, the situation today is terrible. They beat the people like animals. I've seen many people with broken arms, legs or head. Blood is everywhere, and pepper gas. It's like war.
They were waiting for us, they all have guns and riot uniforms. It was like a mouse trap, people being shot like animals. I saw 7 or 8 militia beating one woman with a baton on the ground. She had no defense, nothing. I'm sure that she is dead.
So many people are arrested, young and old. They take people away, we lose our group. People run into alleys, and militia are standing there waiting. From two sides they attack people in the middle of the alleys.
All the shops were closed. Nowhere to go, they follow people with helicopters. Smoke and fire is everywhere. An Iranian student, who had been twittering under his own name before things began heating up, stopped broadcasting on Saturday afternoon. His latest entry .> I'm going to sleep a little before joining with the others, please pray for all people of Iran & wish us peace & freedom

Embedded video from CNN Video
*UPDATE-2*: (01:40) CNN is playing around with the videos %mdash when I posted that at 11:30 pm, it was four minutes long. They cut off the most gripping descriptions of the carnage and her heart-rending pleas for help, right after she tells of the large mob emerging from a mosque to beat people. They trimmed it down to the first minute.
I'll leave it up there in case the following YouTube version doesn't stay up. This is the full segment. It's in a wide format and I can't make it any smaller, so if your browser window is too narrow and it doesn't appear directly below, scroll down past the end of the sidebar to see it:
*UPDATE-3*: (25/06/09: 15:30) I'm feeling really annoyed that CNN has apparently deep-sixed most of this interview. The one-minute family-friendly version replaced the four-minute original, as near as I can tell, within two hours of its first airing. Only the truncated interview has been broadcast today, at least on CNN International.
I know that some people can't view embedded videos, so for the non-clickers here is a transcript, partly done by The Lede Blog and finished by me.> I was going towards Baharestan with my friends…. This was everyone, not just supporters of one candidate or another, everyone — all of my friends, we were going to Baharestan to express our opposition to these killings these days, and demanding freedom. But the black-clad police stopped everyone at Saadi. They emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on…. We went on until Ferdowsi then, all of a sudden, some 500 people with clubs and woods, they came out of [Hedayat] mosque and they poured into the streets and they started beating everyone.
[This is where CNN has trimmed off the rest of the interview, both from their online video offering and in its broadcasts.]
And they tried to beat everyone on Saadi bridge and throwing them off of the bridge…. And everyone also on the sidewalks. They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood and her husband, who was watching the scene, he just fainted. And I also saw people shooting, I mean the security forces shooting on people, on Lalezar. And of course people were afraid… the security forces …
They were beating people like — hell. This was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were cursing — saying very bad words to everyone. They were beating old men. And this was — this was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom. You should help us. …
[Here ends The Lede's transcript, the rest is added by yours truly.]
[nearly speechless interviewer: "How many of you were there in this terrible situation?"]
There were thousands of people on the streets, but it was me and ten of my friends.
[interviewer: "And you said the security forces were shooting at the people? Did you see anybody injured by gunfire?"]
No, as I explained earlier I didn't see, I heard the shooting and my friends and I we just scattered. We heard the shooting near Lalezar and we were near there, and we just ran away. I didn't see again what happened, I'm sure people are dead there but I couldn't see, I couldn't catch the film or anything.
[interviewer relates to her some other received reports of shooting and beating the people "like animals"]
Yes exactly, exactly, exactly. This is what's happening, they beat people so bad. You know in the previous days they are killing students with axe. You know they put the axe through the hearts of young men and it's so... devastating , I don't know how to describe it I can't find the words, but this is horrific. This is genocide, this is a massacre, this is Hitler! And you people should stop it! It's a long time we have been exposed to this and nobody takes action! It's time to act! If anyone is thinking, "Yeah, that axe thing is just a rumour," brace yourself. ThreatsWatch.Org has posted a photograph taken on Saturday, June 20 (the same day Neda Agha Soltan was murdered). Don't click through until you have prepared yourself to witness gruesome barbarity. If you're in doubt of your ability to handle it, don't. You can't unsee something like that.
