1. Fake news (aka false news, lies, incomplete news, etc.). It seems that every day there's a news story that is fake. I heard an interview with Alan Dershowitz (a Harvard law professor) who contradicted much of what had been reported in the news recently regarding constitutional law. In the past week, there was a fake news story on CNN that caused over a 300 point drop in the stock market. In the past, fake news stories caused the U.S. to go to war. So yes, the news can be dangerous. What can you do? Research, try to determine the motivation and source for the report, and then try figure out what is logical and what is common sense. And try not to let your own biases get in the way. Or maybe just tune it out.
2. Vaccine news is worse - as vaccines can, and do, kill and permanently injure people. I heard that the flu vaccine is only 10% effective this year. If I was a betting man, I would bet the truth is that it is zero percent effective. After reporting that, they said to get it anyway because they said it may lessen the effects of the flu if you get it, which perhaps would be laughable if it wasn't dangerous as there are many possible side effects. What they failed to mention is that the vaccine increases your likelihood of getting some other upper respiratory infection and that in the following year, if you get the flu, it would probably be worse than it would have been without the vaccine. About the only thing it will really help is their bottom line. If you do the research, you will find that in the U.S. vaccines are killing more people than the diseases they are supposed to prevent! You can find that out from VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and CDC. For example, from 2005 - 2015, there was 1 death reported from measles, but there were over 100 deaths from the vaccine (perhaps much higher as many cases don't get reported or are attributed to something else, like SIDS). Please do your research and if you want the truth, make sure it's from independent sources.
3. Thoughts and prayers to all those who have been on the path of all the California fires.
4. It's time for everyone to get back to others in a friendship that is not based on who they like or don't like in government, but who they are as people. Everyone will see the good or the bad in how things should be run and will have their own opinions, and you may disagree with those friends and fail to see how they can possibly believe what they believe, but if by their actions they deserve respect, then you should respect them and their beliefs, even though you may strongly disagree. What I'm reading about in this country these days is sad. Whether it's politics, religion, or even sports, those who disagree with you or your beliefs are liable to cause you physical harm or dismiss you as a friend, regardless of whether that person was totally awesome and would do anything to help you in your time of need.
5. Medicine and prescription drugs - it wouldn't surprise me if prescription drugs was a big cause of the physical harm mentioned in number 4, not to mention the cause of many or all of the mass killings. All the drug ads on TV - do people listen to the side effects? Can cause suicidal thoughts, aggressiveness, violent behavior, etc. And maybe combined with all the chemicals in the food?
6. If the government can forcefully and experimentally inject people with toxic substances (aka vaccines), then this is no longer a free country. The latest numbers I've heard is there are now 73 vaccines on the CDC schedule and 1 in 38 children is autistic. All they can say is, "We don't know what has caused the exponential increase in autism, but it can't be vaccines - we showed that in our study, the one where we threw out the results of the subjects that may have shown a link. It certainly can't be all those neurotoxins and retroviruses we're injecting into your kids." Well, they might say that if they were being honest. As I always say, if they deny the cause, how can they find the cure? Remember when they said cigarettes were good for you and DDT was safe?
7. If people don't wake up, see what is going on, and learn to get along with each other, then those old cartoons that show someone with a sign saying, "The End is Near," will be right.
8. One doctor predicted that if we continue on the same path (regarding vaccinations, GMOs, pesticides and herbicides, and medicine) we'll be extinct within 50 years. I give it 75-100 years, but I've always been optimistic about things, ha ha.
9. When I first heard about health care reform (aka Obamacare), I thought it was going to be about how to stay healthy, not mandatory insurance. You know, how to avoid getting sick - like a healthy organic diet, exercise, supplements, good sleep, things that work. Instead, it was about how to pay for sick care. This leads me to #10:
10. Now that I've gotten some of the negatives out of the way, what can people do? Use the internet and do your research from independent sources. Eat a healthy diet of organic whole foods without chemicals and sweeteners, take supplements that support our immune systems (or if needed, that support your joints, heart, brain, etc.), get along with and help others, get a good nights sleep, boycott GMOs and vaccines until vaccines are actually made safe and effective (in independent studies!), and do your research on all these things. Do these things and you won't have to worry about so-called health care (sick care) or health insurance (except for genetic problems and accidents). It's what I do and it has worked well enough for me. Which is to say I no longer get sick.
11. Fires have been in the news a lot lately, along with the catastrophic losses people have experienced. If I owned a house in a fire-prone area, I would build a shelter on my property similar to the old bomb shelters or tornado shelters and keep all my important things there. If they had a lot of money, make it safe for people to stay in to ride out a firestorm, plus they'd have a place to stay if the worst happened and they had to rebuild their house. Is there a fireproof material that you could use to cover your house (similar to the tenting they use for fumigation)?
12. Numbers 10 and 11 lead me to this - prevention and planning ahead are always best. You can't control what government is going to do, or what may happen in the future, but you can control your response to it more effectively through researching things now and being ready for whatever may happen.
13. Contact your representatives and let them know what you like and don't like.
14. Don't forget to go out and enjoy yourself. Every day.
15. And finally, if you've gotten this far, LOL - since this is a photography blog, here is why I enjoy photography. I do it to preserve moments in time, moments that we might otherwise forget, and moments that mean everything to us. I also do it to preserve beauty. And sometimes, to see the unseen - either something that was visible for an instant or that you may have missed when taking the photo. In the below photos, I was shooting the surfers. When I checked the photos, I saw what looks like a rocket - never did find out what those were.
And for a moment in time, a family photo shot just before Christmas many years ago, and which I used on my Christmas card this year - that's me on the right with a beard, camera (Nikon FTn) on a tripod with a timer:
I used this last photo on my Christmas card this year. So happy I have this memory.
