After 30 Years of Silence, the Original NSA Whistleblower Looks Back
Click above for good article.
"As I See It Today" could be the title of this new iteration of my main blog. The "It" would then be the following themes with which I intend to deal here: ~ history ~ politics, economics, government ~ family tree ~ people, places, ~ culture, society ~ dialogue and a bit of me

How Can We Vote?
I used to know how to vote, but now I am having some trouble. For example I don't know how to:
~ participate effectively in the nomination process.
~ compare a candidates present words with his past voting and political record.
~ know the nature of his political associates and friends.
~ vote well without being a full time politician.
~ find a group to share in the tasks suggested above.
and like that.
Guess it comes down to getting good information.
~ participate effectively in the nomination process.
~ compare a candidates present words with his past voting and political record.

Mago Bill Algae Eating
SimpleXity Health - Super Blue Green® Algae. Nutritional supplements made from wild, organic microalgae from upper Klamath Lake
Simplexity Health has dedicated a site to me so that I can send people there to buy algae products. If you do buy some they promise to send me a commission.
Many years ago I did sell some. Used to tell people that it was a bit like green cocaine and much healthier. Do not inject or snort. It's taken orally. I'm referring specifically to Omega Sun now, but all of the other products that I've tried are good too. The company was called CellTech in those days.
Try clicking on the link above to check out the site. After that you can just buy and not bother me any more. If you do buy, you will be asked for a code number. You can use the number next to my name at the top of the site.
There is really a lot of good information at this site linked here. You can try 'live' chat while your there.
Of course I can receive your comments and questions here. I love those comments.
Later, I hope to occasionally post some useful info about the algae from time to time.
As we used to say, "Its energy for life!"

Wealth and Resources
I imagine that you have some interest in wealth and resources. You probably have some questions about them. I do. Some of them may be similar to yours. Some the the questions that I have about public wealth and resources are listed below:
~ What are the wealth and resources in the U.S.?
~ What wealth and resources are fairly available to you and me?
~ Which parts of wealth and resources have not been monetized?
~ What percentage of U.S. wealth and resources are in the hands of the richest 10% of us? How much more do you want to let them have?
~ Is information a valuable resource? Where is a trustworthy source?
~ Which are the main resources in the U.S.? Who controls them?
~ Is blood a resource? Is life? Is sweat? Is time?
~ Are cooperation and organization resources?
~ What does cooperation have to do with wealth?
~ What questions do you have? What answers?

A Citizen of the Republic
As a citizen of the republic I find myself unsure of the usual methods of effecting policy makers and planners. I find I don't have a practical way of knowing the standards of 'my representatives,' much less effecting them.
For example how can I keep informed what elected representatives are doing at the Federal level to promote scientific research appropriate to my health.
I feel ignorant and ineffectual. Is the tide so against the existence of a democratic republic so that it is best to forget the dream of having a functional republic and to go with the oligarchic flow?

Know the Writer
Appropriate trust is important.
Reliable information is available on this www.
It takes some skill and understating to sort the useful and the accurate from the rest.
Knowing the writer is of some help in judging in which cases and to what extent he may be trusted.
Here are some more tips I have found helpful in my attempts to get trustworthy, accurate, useful, reliable information:
~ Look for a post written or reviewed by a qualified professional or expert..
~ Be aware of the probable nature of the bias. A company selling a product is likely to have a bias in favor of that product.
~ Check the date of the post. Up-to-date info may be more useful than information that is several years old
~ Seek a second opinion. Get quality opinions from more than one source.
~ Get help to evaluate the information and how the information gathered applies to you.
When I express an opinion I am very happy when someone asks, "What makes you think so?" or "What is your evidence?"
A person who won't find time to answer a question may not be a good source.

Fellow Citizen
I have questions about my responsibility for our foreign policy:
~ Do I have a responsibility for how our foreign policy looks?
~ How does our foreign policy effect me?
~ How can I keep track of what my representative is doing about our foreign policy?
~ How does the way we relate to the people of other countries effect me?
~ What sources of information about the nature of our foreign policy can I trust most?
~ How can I sort through varies foreign policies?
~ Just what is a foreign policy?
~ How is a foreign policy for me?
~ How can a foreign policy benefit me?
~ How might I go about finding a foreign policy congenial to me?
I guess I could very well ask the same questions about our domestic policy!

CIA
Doesn't it seem that a significant number of past and present CIA related people have been trying to share interesting info with us? Check out some of the works which have been published since, say, the turn of the Millennium. Doesn't it seem that they think that there are things that we would benefit by knowing?
