Claire

8:21am ICT Thursday 5 August 2010 (day 14743)

Yesterday, while hanging out at Hollanda Montri, ostensibly to chill with Claire, but realistically on Skype with a WSJ reporter and Sally in Australly, Claire said, "why don't I switch my day off to tomorrow and we go do something?"

"Cool! Like what?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Jungle Flight!" (zip lines!!)

"Come on!" her way of saying "are you crazy??"

I convinced her I was serious, and she was like, "I'll just watch from the ground.."

"No no it's perfectly safe! Have you ever heard of anyone dying while doing that?"

"of course not!"

"Okay, then you can do it!"

"Okay; let's do it."

So we're going to do Jungle Flight tomorrow, my last full day in Chiang Mai!

I supported WikiLeaks.org

10:26am ICT Wednesday 4 August 2010 (day 14742)

Some time ago (a year?), I sent a donation to WikiLeaks.org, basically to thank them for the great work they're doing at lifting the veils hiding what happens behind the scenes of the apparent world around us.

Last night, I was contacted by a reporter who saw my apparent support of the site, asking if I'd consent to an interview

about whether you are indeed a supporter, why you support the site, what you think of its work, what
you think of the recently published Afghan war documents, etc? 

Hmm!

So I thought I'd jot a few things before the interview.

  1. The world would be a lot smoother if everyone were honest / mind readers. If that were the case, we could just focus on research, education, relaxation, and love.

  2. The United States, ostensibly built on liberty and justice for all, has gone to great lengths to take liberty and justice from its people in covert ways, and from people around the world in directly aggressive wars, economic, literal, and probably otherwise.

  3. Around my final year of high school, when it came time for me to register for armed services, I personally made a decision that I will never kill anyone. I therefore respectfully declined to serve. "Sorry; I'm a pacifist."

  4. As we watched on live TV the north tower of New York City's World Trade Center spewing smoke, we saw another plane hit the south tower. I immediately said, "we're at war. There's no way that was an accident."

    Kept watching, and the buildings seemed fine, and suddenly they exploded, identically, in ten seconds flat.

  5. I bought the official story, but then someone said, "have you heard about WTC 7?"

World Trade Center 7, which was *not* hit by an airplane, also collapsed on 11 September 2001. The official report says "This was the first known instance of the total collapse of a tall building primarily due to fires." and says, "WTC 7 did not collapse due to fire-induced weakening of critical columns."

the remains of all the WTC buildings were disposed of before congressional action and funding was
available for this Investigation to begin. As a result, there are some facts that could not be
discerned, and thus there are uncertainties in this accounting. Nonetheless, NIST was able to gather
sufficient evidence and documentation to conduct a full investigation upon which to reach firm
findings and recommendations.

1:53pm ICT Wednesday 4 August 2010 (day 14742)

Aight, this is weird.

In preparation for the interview, I read up on WikiLeaks.

It seems Julian Assange does *not* support 9/11 Truth.

It seems that an early WikiLeaks co-founder no longer supports WikiLeaks.

Hmmm.

3:05pm ICT Wednesday 4 August 2010 (day 14742)

Okay, the interview is over; she asked Qs that seemed reasonable, trying to get an idea of demographics and motivations for someone who'd support WikiLeaks.

She wanted to quote me on a thing I said, and summarized it as "there seems to be a movement to move money to just a few people.." and I said, "mmmmm I'll write something for you."

Here it comes..

The accelerated shift of money and power to an ever shrinking number of people has got to stop.

By revealing what's really happening behind the proverbial scenes, maybe we can help everyone realize we're falsely imprisoned by money.

dinner with Melanie

9:32pm ICT Wednesday 4 August 2010 (day 14742)

Went to Melanie's apartment tonight to return her book and go to Salad Concept across the street, by way of a pharmacy on her scooter to buy some ear drops for my left ear (infected). (for the record; this is my second ear infection in Thailand)

Salad Concept employees put together salads based on what boxes we indicate on copies of their ingredients list. I got croutons, cashews, pumpkin, feta cheese, other stuff, and three servings of pumpkin salad dressing, which I enjoyed like pumpkin soup. Yuuummmmy!

Chatted with Mel about classes, plans, and the peeps around us reacting to animals around them. We kept mocked my having scoped the body of my favorite waitress when she was walking around by making body scoping eye motions at everyone around us, or even at ghosts over each other's shoulders to make the other look. hahahaha

Ice cream at Ice Cream Chic after that, where I got vanilla and white chocolate, and she got white chocolate and something with caramel. When I tried a bite of hers, I made a blech face and was like, "I don't like caramel," and she goes, "good," with a smile. "More for me."

My ear ache was aching more than I wanted, so I headed home around 9pm instead of challenging Melanie to a wrestling competition. She declared herself the winner by fiat.
