‘Just Noticing’: Observations Of A Blogger
Posted by Michelle Moquin on March 7th, 2010
Helena: How are you? Thank you for your well thought out comments. Sadly you are correct, and I agree with you. And counting on that one third to join them may not be a very difficult thing because that one third, like the republican one third, is so dying to be part of that 4%.
‘Persuaded’ is the key word here. The republicans not only ‘persuade’ them that the Republican one third of the country has their and the country’s best interest at (sic) hand, but they get them to dream too. Get them to dream…put promise in their little heads, that they too will attain riches and the lifestyle that they covet. And they will continue to follow the republicans, and act and do whatever it takes to make it to that 4% club. And as we know…all at the expense of the American people.
And I agree too, I hate the control. My finances are affected too like so many others. But I don’t disagree with Anonz’s actions either. If I were in Anonz’s position, I too would do what he is doing or someone else will step in. That is a fact. But as Anonz has pointed out on my blog, “Most of you allow us to continue without having to pay our fair share of taxes because you think that one day you will be part of our group. Here’s a fact. You will NEVER be in my economic class.”
So there you have it for those of you desiring it: “Dream on. It isn’t going to happen.” Look around. Your greed is driving the country into shambles, and I bet you’re not any wealthier, are you? The top 4% are laughing all the way to the bank…with your money…literally.
Anonz made this comment awhile ago: “Obama needs to take a more aggressive action and authorize the surreptitious extinction of such traitors. The one thing those greedy bastards fear more than losing an opportunity to make money is losing their lives. Do It Obama.”
Whether he’s talking about terrorists or the terrorists that are in our own government, doesn’t really matter. My point being, lives are being lost daily because of the lack of health care. But those that oppose don’t care. So…Why shouldn’t the greedy bastards be in fear of losing their lives too.
And since I’m on the subject, and on a roll this morning, I decided to re-read some of the comments that Anonz has made in regards to the state of the world and what we, the American people, can do about it.
I’m sure Anonz won’t mind if I post the rest of what he said that day on my blog. The things that I fight for here…for others, I fight for myself too. I think we all need to read his words again and feel the impact of them. Our world situation is dire. November is nearing.
How inane are you people?
You support the party and people who make all this happen while screaming at us who benefit from the actions of those people.
I am not the problem.
You are.
If I die tomorrow, someone else will move in to fill the vacuum. You will still be part of that 96% who own shit in this country.
AH, while I respect your wisdom and financial insight, the fact is you are out of touch with present day reality. The people of America today are so into themselves that they could care less about the health needs of their fellow americans as long as they have health care for themselves and theirs.
The insurance and pharmaceutical industries count on that greed and selfishness to enable them to stay in power. I refuse to align myself with losers. If there is a pot to be split up, I will always be there to demand my share.
My advice to the people – stand for something other than your own aggrandizement.
If you support politicians who support the general welfare of ALL the people, you will get your fair share. If you continue to support the politicians who support only your special interest, you will continue to get people in office who will say anything to get your support and then sell out to the highest bidder,
If that winning bidder turns out to be me, don’t hate me, hate the person responsible for putting a person before me who could be bought, that would be your selfish, self-centered, racist, bigoted asses.
As that great black poet said “hate the game not the player.”
Anonz
I hate the game. I hate hearing it so bluntly, but I appreciate his directness. What Anonz says is true and needs to be expressed the way he said it. And sometimes as difficult as the truth is, we need to hear it, again, and again, and again, for it to sink in…for us to wake up and do something.
If everyone just thought outside of themselves, we could do something amazing. I know…hard to imagine…but I can still hope can’t I? I can still give my two in hopes that some of you out there will feel as passionate as I do about changing the system, by taking the present one on.
Thanks Helena for inspiring my write this morning. I hope that you show your family my write and they will continue to support Obama.
And since this is Sunday, my usual day for ‘just noticing’….I thought these were appropriate for today:
- ‘Just noticing’…that many people tend to only fight for their own needs, for their own aggrandizement, and could care less about the rest of the country.
- ‘Just noticing’…that we spend billions in Iraq and on homeland security to protect the American people, yet it is a fight to get decent health care for everyone to protect those same people. Why? Because the rich don’t go to war, and terrorists don’t pay attention to whether the poor or the rich are in the line of fire, so all must be protected. And those that oppose…those that are healthy and/or can afford good health care, basically don’t give a damn about those that aren’t and can’t.
No judgement….’just noticing’.
Readers: Okay….trying to ‘just notice’, but this time I couldn’t help but be a tad judgemental. Comments? Blog me.
Tilly: And that is just one example. I’m sure there are many more that we don’t even hear about.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

Anonz: Although much of what you say in your past comment is truth, I still feel that I can hate both the game and its players.
Why do these players play the game? Because they or someone like them invented it and its rules.
Also, it is not a game. Tell that to a Family that has just lost their Home. Did they play the game wrong? Or did they not ever get the opportunity to play because the real Players are an exclusive club.
The so-called game has been played without the knowledge of the other 96% of the Nation knowing about the rules. Now that you are in the Winners Club, you happily tell about the existence of the game and how much you have won.
Even calling it a game is just a cop-out. It implies that anyone can play. That is not true, as Michelle has posted today. Also, the so-called game is not over yet. In the end we ALL lose.

This comment goes to Lacy, Jeremy, Ruth, and Rhea.
Since all of the above mentioned have expressed concern about the whereabouts of the TAO, Zen Lill, Al and Myself, I feel you deserve an answer.
Azza is helping in the Oston War, Madeline is on a mission, Adam and Alexander Hamilton are still time travelling through History and that is why their presence has been sparse recently.
As far as the ‘Regulars’ I believe Zen Lill is just preoccupied with her life, as are Al and I.
We have not abandoned Michelle’s blog, Shit happens in life and sometimes it keeps us all busy at the same time.
Rhea, as far as Guam, it has gained the attention of all sorts of Aliens and Earth visitors and that would explain the expansion of the Communication Network — Guam is going through growing pains.
Michelle has many other interesting and important topics to discuss, such as the distribution of wealth in the united States. Annonz explains that we must stop being so preoccupied with our own asses and the toys of modern times. We all are responsible for voting in the correct political representatives in order to have things go the way we want. Otherwise the Annonzes of the world will keep profiting from strife.
If we helped our President pass his Health Reform and voted out ALL the puppets of special interest groups such as most Republicans in office, we could change the World and put the Annonzes out of business. We have given them enough already and should gladly take it all back. It is time we took back our Nation by caring and using our votes to make changes.
The Government is supposed to be “For the People … By the People.” We cannot sit back and watch. It just takes a little interest in who we have given the power to. We have that same power to take it away from them.

i hope you are not implying that Anonz is a bad guy. You are sometimes a good guy and sometimes a mean spirited guy. Anonz is always Anonz, a Paladin.

Today, i met a man who others said was a prince. I was not able to make his acquaintance. He seemed but a well dressed man. This evening my lady”s best friend said that I could learn much from writing about him on this blog. She said that her brother said that he could walk through walls.
My lady said that I should forget my unrest with this man who when I offered to buy him a drink looked at me and said “I have taken your measure and found you wanting.” Then he got up and left the bar.
In my 60 years of existence, no man has accosted me with such arrogance. I will know more about him. What if any does anyone out there know?

You speak with such elegance. I like what you say. Lisa I don’t think Howie meant to slight Anonz. You over react. Besides Anonz can take care of himself.

Anonz if America forsakes you Asia will welcome you with open hearts.

It is rumored that at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is the crystal of Ileyras. That would be a source that would continually fire core of the earth. It is as close to a single source of perpetual as our group of Aliens are familiar with.
It would be worth a small war. It would also be worthy of a truce.

Howie:
Your points are well taken. But you can’t blame Anonz for the choices of the people. If someone else less willing to tell us to stop being our own worst enemy was making the money, we as a people might never be able to recover from out stupidity and greed.

Lisa is correct Anonz needs the the huge sums of money he makes to do the things he does for the world. Without all that money he would be a Knight without armor in this savage world.
My husband is a journalist who reads this blog to get ideas. He hates Anonz. He says if such a man really existed he would be a diabolical despot.
I love my husband, but I feel safer because of the presence of an Anonz. Personally I feel he is just jealous.

Why are men so jealous of Anonz?
March 8th, 2010 at 1:47 am
I love you Anonz.
March 8th, 2010 at 1:49 am
Howie is right Anonz should give some of that money he has stolen from us back. We need jobs and he is hoarding a whole lot of money when his companies aren’t gouging us with usury rates.

You are so wise. This situation is all our fault. We are the ones that continue to allow the crooks to prosper.
We are either too lazy to vote or too greedy to vote for what is right over what is profitable supposedly to us.
Janet
PS will you men get off Anonz’s case.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Michelle I couldn’t get in with my Observation yesterday. I’m trying again today.
============
I’ve learned that it takes years
to build up trust, and it only takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
=======================
Perhaps we should spend more time on checking out our suspicions before we act.

Hi Gretta, Speaking of Anonz, I would like to know of “All the things he does for the world” aside from profiting from our conflicts. You continnue with his neding all that money (More than many nations) or he would be a Knight without armor in this savage world is romantic, but He himself brags that he has so much and will keep taking it from us.
His point is: If we do not do something to change the situation, he will continue to take as much as he can. There is nothing noble in that.
He does let us know that we need to change to put people like him out of business, such as not waging wars so he does not make money from the sales of weapons to all sides.
He is many things, but not a knight in shining armor.

Howie you may be all that recent commenters say you are. I too like your comments about what is happening in American politics.
But when it comes to Anonz, you are as jealous as the rest of the men who comment on this blog. You can never see what Anonz represents because it is not within you to put your personal safety on the line for your beliefs.
That is the definition of a Knight (spell that with a capital K when you use the term knight to refer to Anonz) is that he will risk his personal safety, even his life for causes that he believes in.
As helpful as you are I would wager that you would never risk your personal safety for any cause. I don’t mean this to put you down. You are in good company because 99% of men wouldn’t risk their personal safety for any cause except to save their own ass.
Men patriots are people who send other people to die for their nationalistic beliefs.

I don’t want to persume to answer for Gretta but when it comes to Anonz, he is a Knight to all of us.
One of the things Anonz does for the world is risk his safety by revealing what he knows. If the roles were reversed could you say that you would risk your safety to tell us what he does?

I guess that’s why he uses the moniker, Anonz…
