"Data is the new Electricity"

In Congressional Testimony the Cambridge Analytica whistle-blower said, "Data is the new electricity".

Think about that statement for as long as you need to and then look at our current environment.

Since World War I, Russia has been using disinformation campaigns to further their agenda. I have long said that the law is too slow to keep up with the advances in technology and I think that point has been proven.

James Clapper said that Russia not only favored Trump but swayed the election to his favor. Meaning, Trump won because of Russian influence.

In one of the final debates Trump said, "I'll accept the results of the election...if I win."

Some media outlets that are right leaning have echoed Trump in saying that "Democrats are upset that they lost and that's why they are investigating Trump." This is a ridiculous statement. I have had people say that I'm a sore loser and I'm just mad that my person didn't win. Who is my person, exactly? I'm not registered with any political party because I believe being American supersedes political parties. Perhaps I'm a minority but the Constitution is the Constitution of the United States, not the Constitution of Whoever Wins the Election.

Hillary Clinton is not contesting her loss. She received more votes than any white man, ever. This means that the two candidates in United States history to receive the most votes were a black man and a woman. Yet...here we are stuck with a man who is a member of an ultra-minority of wealthy elites.

Robert Mueller is investigating Russia's involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election. There have been indictments. This isn't an empty investigation and it has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton's actions during the election. It has everything to do with Trump's actions, his associate's actions and their intent.

In the coming weeks, I believe we will see Roger Stone indicted, among others. We will see more and more evidence of conspiracy against the United States. We will see evidence of bribery, we will see the lies falling away and we will see Trump spiraling out of control. The faster a person tries to escape from quicksand, the faster he sinks.

I am not a lawyer. I'm a woman from Massachusetts that tries very hard to remain objective. When I break down the current environment, which is hard to do by the way, I see a man in the Oval Office that has no business being there and I see our checks and balances failing the American people.

To all of the people that support Donald Trump after all that has transpired since he took his oath of office (and has repeatedly violated it) I ask you to look at this situation objectively and put your hatred for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama aside. This isn't about them. This is about our democracy.
  • A misinformation campaign was executed by a hostile country that favored Donald Trump for president = PROVEN
  • More American people voted against Donald Trump's policies than for them = PROVEN
  • Facebook sold politically motivated ads to foreign countries = PROVEN
  • Wikileaks obtained information from Guccifer 2.0, a Russian = PROVEN
  • Roger Stone and Donald Trump Jr sent private messages to Wikileaks on Twitter = PROVEN
  • Donald Trump asked Russia to hack his opponents emails on television = PROVEN
  • Donald Trump said on national television that he fired James Comey because of the Russia investigation = PROVEN
I could go on and on, but if data is the new electricity, it's time to tap into it. Don't believe what you click on Twitter or Facebook, go looking for corroborating evidence, it's all out there. Archive.org is an excellent resource but there are more. Don't let the talking heads steer you one way or another, be vigilant with your information.

Please stay woke.

Long December

It's weird but I feel like November has been December for three weeks. I don't know why but my body keeps telling me that it's December and it has been. In fact, Thanksgiving feels like it happened weeks ago rather than just one week ago. Maybe it's the fact that I have little kids and they are getting ready for Christmas and are filled with excitement over the prospect of Santa Claus and presents. Or maybe it's because Thanksgiving came a little earlier than usual this year. Whatever it is, it's a weird feeling. The last time something like this happened to me was in October of 2014. After the month ended, I felt like it was still October until well into February of the following year. It truly makes no sense considering time is an invented human concept. Most of our ancient ancestors and nearly all of our animal friends don't give a hoot about time down to the second. Months aren't even real, it's just a thing we do. It feels like it's be...

Comparison

I thought it might be interesting to compare the resume of Robert Mueller to that of Donald Trump. Care to take a peak? (I tried to keep it objective.)

"Life is pain"

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." - Man in Black Have you ever had those days where you feel like the only lesson is the lesson above? That life is pain? I feel that way today. I'm sitting at my desk feeling self-conscious, feeling every ounce of depression I possess flowing through me. I feel alone, awkward, sad, uncertain...I feel pain. I feel loss. A close family member died rather suddenly. His fight was one he knew he wouldn't win. Cancer very rarely allows its opponent to succeed. The world lost another great man and here we are, those that loved him, in pain. Life is all about letting go, I know that. I know that this is a temporary existence but how can we reconcile that fact knowing that our time could be up any second? I don't want to live my life waiting. I want to live my life living. If there is a heaven and I get there, I want to make sure I did everything in my power to have the be...
