World War III- Rise

I have heard talk of World War III It is a long time coming. The third world war will be different than wars in the past. The people will rise up and take a stand against the governments of the world. We will no longer be pawns that exist only to serve the 1%. We will take down the governments of the world in peaceful movement and replace the constitutions and statutes with doctrines that clearly create peaceful societies whose primary purpose is to eliminate suffering and need. Societies will teach their children to love and play and share. Children will not accept bullies but rather will help the meek and mild.

Our society will exist to promote peace. We will create our nirvana and live forever.

Peace and Prosperity during the war on common decency

Peace and prosperity are my primary goals every day. During the positive growth of the Obama administration it would make sense that many of us could hope for peace and prosperity even it we were not yet achieving it. We knew that as long as positive changes were being made, we could do so on our own at a personal level.

Many of us do not share the views of the current administration. We are angry because the most egregious person of in the world has seized control of our homeland. Many of us cannot imagine how we will live under the rule of a man as horrible as Hitler. I do not recall such an open resentment towards a president and his administration in my lifetime. I am happy to see that many of us are not going to accept the new administration, but rather object to it as long as we have to. Its like staying warm without a jacket.

We are at war. The enemy is not another country or another religion, but it is our own government. We are standing up and saying we are not going to accept this kind of archaic rule in our government. I am so proud to be part of a community that is planning a National Pride March on Washington. I will be there if humanly possible. It is something that I have to do.

Most important thing in a functional society is a well-informed public

As John Oliver correctly pointed out Sunday night, folks are being fed what they want to hear and they’re eating it up like a starving person. The most important thing in a functional society is a well-informed public. What we have now is not only uninformed but misinformed masses. That’s something that should scare us all.

The most important thing in a functional society is a well-informed public. What we have now is not only uninformed but misinformed masses.

1. Read first. Then share. I myself am guilty of basing comments or even clicking share based on the headline. This is the worst thing any of us could do. Stop being lazy.

2. Check the source (and their sources). In the age of new media true and valid information comes from non-traditional sources but so does a lot of garbage. Any article that posts facts, figures or quotes should provide a source for that information. If there is no backup for their claims, move on.

3. Watch out for recycled stories. One thing that seems to be feeding into the misinformation problem is when old stories are being presented as happening now. Check the date on the story before you read on. You’ll be shocked to see how many are from another time and aren’t applicable to the current event you thought they were talking about.

4. If you care about facts, ignore the blatantly slanted. Having a slant or taking a position on a story is not wrong in itself. What is wrong is when these ideas are taken as unbiased fact. You can avoid all of this by simply avoiding those sites to start with. Any website with the words: Conservative, Liberal, Democrat, Republican, etc. in the title are just advertising how slanted they are. That’s ok if you choose to live in your side’s bubble but please don’t have any delusions that these stories reflect the whole picture.

5. Google it. God (and Sergey) gave us Google for a reason. If you see a story that’s unbelievable or has no sources or even if it does, verify. See if the same facts are reported across multiple outlets. See if anyone disputes these facts. Read these pieces and then make up your mind.

If we could all take these simple steps our society would be a better place. We all have opinions and leanings. There is nothing wrong with that but could we at least all come from a starting point based on facts and reality?

The truth is, sharing illogical things begins to erode YOUR credibility and it makes you look foolish. Trust me, I speak from experience.

Now go share this, please. Be the well informed public. Be the functional society.

Through the process of reason we find our own truth

When will be our next National Day of Reason?

Awakening Reason is a forum for new ideas that are coming forth as a result of the new wave of spiritual evolution. We are realizing that we are responsible for our opinions. We must seek out our own truth through verification of actual facts. We fact find by illuminating what we hear and allowing others to verify or invalidate by their own fact finding. We are responsible for deciding, for ourselves, through reason, what our truth is.

Why don’t we all just know the definitive truth? We only know for sure the facts that we can personally verify. We know where we live, we know where we buy groceries. We know the prices of the things because we have read the price on the shelf and this fact has been verified by what we are charged at the register for this item. We can further verify this fact by researching the item through other sources or settle for the known information as fact. One person my settle for this price as fact, but another may, though ruthless scrutiny, find other information that may raise questions. Thus the process either continues or comes to an end.

The world has become too complex for any of us to know as a palpable fact how the actions of others are affecting our lives. It may be a matter of understanding why these actions affect us. In this case we have the responsibility of learning how and why these actions matter to us. It is more difficult to verify facts because nothing is physically ascertained. We must share what we here continuously to secure the truth. Sometimes we may never prove definitively if the actions of others affects us. We may have to rely on our opinion. The process continues.

I am reintroducing Awakening Reason, because once again there is a dire need for it. Please follow and contribute to Awakening Reason by participating in the ideas shared here. It is the responsibility of everyone that breathes to help educate the people who have not yet learned that they are responsible for their own truth. All comments to this site will be approved except spam and hate. There is no place on earth where either of them is appropriate.

ORLANDO ISIS ATTACK

An American-born man who’d pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 50 people early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando — the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation’s worst terror attack since 911, authorities said.

* The gunman, Omar Mateen, 29, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and 2014 but was not found to be a threat, the FBI said. * Mateen called 911 shortly before the attack to pledge allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers, according to a U.S. official. * Orlando police shot and killed Mateen. Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse club about 2 a.m. Friday and started shooting, killing 50 people and wounding at least 53, police said.

Abobe Creative Cloud becoming a device of time theft

Adobe-Creative-Cloud

Abobe Creative Cloud

is becoming a product that works just like a virus. You install it. It works great. Then you install the new version (CC 2015). That is where the fun begins. Now we have all kinds of malfunctions that are impossible to troubleshoot, but the techs still waist 30 minutes of your time just to tell you that you need to do a clean install. Simple process-you must uninstall all of your adobe products. It took me 15 minutes that I could not bill out. After that, you still have to delete a considerable list of registry files, hoping that this does not cause a major malfunction to your computer.

Then you have to install all your software again.

Adobe Creative Cloud

is a reasonably efficient product for a reasonable price. But not if it take up most of your day from time to time to fix the bugs that should have been fixed in house before distribution.

I was not successful contacting Adobe. As far as I know there is no email address to send such concerns.

I wrote to David Bleckner, an Adobe expert:

David, I respect your enthusiasm for Adobe products. They compose the support for what I love to do best-animation. I have been doing other work to and I must admit that since the upgrade, there have been some glitches. I first realized this when I called support because I had questions about creating apps with InDesign. Seems I didn’t have all the tools that the tutorial was talking about. I was told I had to have a special account for that. Unacceptable. I spent months preparing for a product that I was unable to publish because by the time I was ready the rules had changed and I could not publish it without major revisions. I tried to render a motion graphic recently and media encoder would not open. When I tried to export the file manually I got an error message. (If Adobe would make the message simple like, ‘#45 can’t connect to software’, then we could be clear about telling people like you how to help us. Leave out all the language that many of us do not understand, doesn’t that make sense? I finally after several months, I had time to call customer support. After the usual 15 minutes of questions that they should have in their data base, spelling my name 5 times in order to get it right, and telling them, yes, I do have an active account!’, I explained my problem. After a half hour of what I believe was ‘guessing’, I was told that I had to do a clean install, and that I had to do it myself-here are the instructions, have a nice day. So far I have not asked you a question. I have merely been telling you the truth about my experience with the 2015 upgrade. Here it is, the million dollar question. How can I justify Adobe as a quality product when they are clearly more interested in coming out with a new version of the software, rather than producing a quality product that works? I think that most companies would comp customers a month or two after such a hassle as an apology for their mistakes which led to our loss of time and therefore income. Who do I contact about that?

Passwords should be something that you can remember. Current rules of password protection make requirements that make it difficult if not impossible to remember them all. Every site has different rules of password protection, so we can’t use the same password on all of my sites. I used to be able to get into all of my sites-banking, internet, email, fpl, and all of my password protected accounts. They all had the same password. I never had a problem with anyone getting into my account because they figured out my password. Now, according to our providers, we need special symbols and caps in our passwords to keep from getting hacked.

Affordable Care Act Restores Life

The Affordable Care Act is a healthcare solution that could help more people get the treatments that they have had to live without. I know. I have had sleep apnea, kidney stones, a pinched nerve in my foot, and a shoulder that dislocates in my sleep. I have lived with these conditions for several years.

Sleep apnea steals oxygen from me at night. The lack of oxygen causes lapses in memory. I do not remember most of what I learned in graduate school. I have a hard time remembering how to do things every day that I could do yesterday. The nerve in my foot causes a lot of pain when I wear shoes. Sometimes I have to take them off when I am sitting down to get relief from the pain. I don’t need to describe kidney stones. Either you know the pain or you do not. I dislocated my shoulder in high school. As I get older the joint has lost its integrity. It slips out doing everyday tasks like making the bed or sleeping. In addition to the physical pain, I feel helpless when it happens.

I do not feel helpless anymore. I have seen 4 specialists in the last month.. I got a shot of cortisone in my foot and felt immediate relief. I am having an MRI of my shoulder, foot and abdomen at the end of the week. Best of all, I am getting scheduled for a sleep study and will be receiving treatment soon after.

I will have a new life thanks to the Affordable Care Act. My hope is that more people will discover how easy it is to get healthcare now. I want people to hear this because all they hear are the republicans and other cynics who don’t need it because the government pays for all of their healthcare.

I hope that someday these people realize that the Affordable Care Act is doing the same thing for people who could not get health insurance as the governments of our country have been doing all along for their employees. I hope that they realize that their greed is not nearly as important as restoring the lives of people all over the country.

Campaign Contributions

Campaign contributions are nothing more than bribes to get laws passed in favor of the highest bidder. That is why the people lose every time. We can’t compete with corporations. This is a great video on how campaign contributions are used.

“By limiting the influence of big money in politics,” said one of the senators, Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, “elections can be more about the voters and their voices, not big money donors and their deep pockets. We need to have a campaign finance structure that limits the influence of the special interests and restores confidence in our democracy.”

The framers of our Constitution gave us a republic. They meant by that a “representative democracy.” Or as Federalist No. 52 put it, a Congress “dependent upon the People alone.”

Despite the founders’ intentions, Congress has evolved from a dependency “upon the people,” to an increasing dependency upon the funders. Members spend 30 percent to 70 percent of their time raising money to stay in Congress, or to get their party back in power. Less than 1 percent of Americans give more than $200 in a political campaign. No more than .05 percent give the maximum in any Congressional campaign. A career focused on the 1 percent — or, worse, the .05 percent — will never earn them the confidence of the 99 percent.

Banking Regulations-here we go again

Most people don’t know what banking regulations are and why they are important. I am hoping that with a few suggestions for reading some clarity may come to the majority of the people in the country who aren’t even aware of the problem.

Here are 2 articles that explain banking regulations pretty well. Feel free to ask questions and start a discussion if the threat is still unclear.

Once you understand that there is a problem with banking regulation, please read this article on what Congress is doing-AGAIN!

Obamacare

Never before have Republicans in Congress been so determined to stop the execution of law. Many of their leaders have been seen on the news calling Obamacare ‘evil’ and ‘the worst thing since slavery’. Isn’t that a bit dramatic? Well that takes care of the religious right and the blacks. I guess they are not concerned with the educated majority because we know that they are full of crap.

Republicans will do anything necessary to eliminate Obamacare. They will lie, cheat and offend. Sounds like a typical day in Washington to me.

I would like to offer everyone a place to share their experience with the campaign against Obamacare. Share them with us. We need to know. Her are a few of mine:

Republicans don’t want Obamacare because it reduces the CEO salary from %40 to %20. I personally will not be happy until it is less than 1%.

Republicans don’t want Obamacare to be successful simply because that cannot tolerate the success of a black man in the Oval Office.

Republicans don’t want Obamacare because it will pave the way to the White House for Hillary Clinton.

Republicans don’t want Obamacare because if will empower the people that they are trying to oppress.

Please add your own.

Government Taken Hostage

The is one thing that must be made absolutely clear. What is happening today is not about a disagreement between opposing political parties. It is not about our leaders standing up do defend our interests. It is not because the Republicans think Obamacare will fail.

The government has been taken hostage because the Obamacare is a successful solution to the healthcare challenges we face. In other words it will define the presidency.

The Republicans are terrified that Obamacare will revolutionize healthcare and give a large number of people the empowerment they need to stand up and be heard in 2014. Their transparent efforts compare it to slavery and call it evil. Their outspoken platform against it is unprecedented. Why are they so upset about a relatively small budgetary accommodation? It would only take a small dent out of our over inflated military budget-a large part of which goes into the pockets of many Republicans and their constituents as profits of the defense industry.

Obamacare will make the president a hero. It is a major step towards the empowerment of the poor and middle class. This movement is the anthem of Awakening Reason

Government Taken Hostage

The agenda is clear. The Republicans will hold the American People hostage until December, when the President will have no choice but to concede due to the imminent collapse of what little economic stability that we now have. I hope for a better solution.

Please speak up. The implications of this absolute abomination to democracy are great. Start writing to your Congressmen-especially if they are Republican. Step up or we may soon be stepped on.

Tomorrow the government could shut down. We need a new Congress. It is about time we realize that changes must be made in order for use to get back on track and continue on as a prosperous society. We must eliminate the parasites of the world and empower the people. We must start with the most powerful threat to our well being. That would be Congress.

We all must come to terms with the fact that most of our Congressmen must be replaced with people who want to serve rather than take advantage of their position to promote personal wealth. We must look at the track records of the people we are voting for. If they have been voting to reduce human rights, supporting corporate welfare (over $100 billion last year, that we know of), or refusing to raise taxes on the 1%, we cannot reelect them.

Please help elect a new congress. Please vote wisely. Our future depends on it.

[awakeningreason]

Out of the darkness of the night, we will rise a new nation.

Awakening Reason is the dawning of a new era in our society. It is the day we empower a government for the people and by the people. The government will stop overspending, the rich will pay their fair share, and there will be no more lobbyism, bribery and backroom deals. Laws will be clear and protect the people. We will go back to banking and corporate regulation.

Awakening Reason is what happens when the people are informed with facts. It is what happens when we tell our representatives what we want and they act on our behalf. Awakening reason is when we sanction the government for all of its actions.

Awakening Reason is a phenomenon that has been growing in our society in recent years. It has always been around, but it has struggled to find its voice. Today, Awakening Reason has a voice. It is getting stronger. It is your voice. It is my voice. It is the voice of American citizens who are realizing that the government is not protecting the best interests of the people. We are the people, not the corporations, not big business and definitely not hate groups.

Americans are becoming informed. This is Awakening Reason.
