Is The Hunger Games Trilogy a Libertarian Manifesto?

I’m about two hours away from finishing Mocking Jay, the last book of The Hunger Games trilogy. I wasn’t planning on reading the books, but once I got wind that there were some libertarian themes contained therein I figured…welllll, ok. So, do the books make up some sort of libertarian manifesto? One might think so based on thisthisthisthis, and this.

My take? I was pleasantly surprised. I kept waiting for the typical progressive themes of “Yeah, these big-government types over here are bad, but these big-government types over here are good.” Instead, you get the pleasing “These big-government types over here are bad, and these others that you thought would be good? Well, maybe they aren’t any good either.” There does seem to be a pervading message that if all these power-hungry leaders would just leave people alone, they could take care of themselves and be just fine, and “just fine” would be worlds better than where they’re at. If you’re already of a mind to loathe the State, these books will give you all the satisfaction you’re looking for, and it’s that much more satisfying to know how many other people are reading them....

Risk Assessment: Disaster Game Affirms Greed of Humans, Even When Faced with Extermination

Masters of Disaster

Howard Kunreuther and Robert Meyer have staked their careers on the belief that human beings are at heart, irrational and doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over—unless we find a way to overcome our wiring.

But even they have been surprised by the results of Quake. (Hayden’s Note: No, not the First Person Shooter game called ‘Quake’ … I thought they meant that, too!)

Quake is a computer simulation that Meyer, the Gayfryd Steinberg Professor and co-director with Kunreuther of Wharton’s Risk Management and Decision Processes Center, helped design to test certain ideas about how humans perceive “risk.” Quake is very easy to play, but, as it turns out, very difficult to win—though not because the mechanics of the game are all that tricky.

Rather, it’s our brains that make it difficult.

It works like this: Quake players are presented with a little icon of a house on a map of a hypothetical country. They also get a pot of digital cash—$20,000. Players are told at the start of the game that at any time, an earthquake can hit, either severe or mild, and that three to five quakes will hit during the course of the game....

Madonna’s Superbowl Halftime Show: Illuminati Symbolism and the Departure of the Grand Priestess

When I learned that Madonna – aka the Grand Priestess of the music industry – would be performing at the Superbowl halftime show, I thought: “This should be interesting”. And it was. While most were amazed by a woman in her fifties dancing around with LMFAO and others were annoyed at her lip-syncing, I was interested with something else: the flurry of symbolism flashed to billions of viewers worldwide. While most considered Madonna’s performance as an entertaining interlude to the most important football game of the year, those blessed with symbol-literacy will probably agree with the following statement: Madonna’s halftime show was a big celebration of the Illuminati industry and of its Grand Priestess, Madonna.

A week before the Superbowl, Madonna described on Anderson Cooper the spiritual importance she attributed to her halftime show:

“The Superbowl is kind of like the Holy of Holies in America. I’ll come at halfway of the “church experience” and I’m gonna have to deliver a sermon. It’ll have to be very impactful.”

It is rather appropriate that this Kaballah-intiate referred to the Superbowl as the “Holy of Holies” as it was the name of the most sacred place in Solomon’s Temple....

Frequent Video Gaming Creates Physical Brain Differences, Study Suggests

Posted on Nov 16, 2011 in Movies, TV, & Video Games

Fourteen-year-olds who were frequent video gamers had more gray matter in the rewards center of the brain than peers who didn’t play video games as much — suggesting that gaming may be correlated to changes in the brain much as addictions are.

Hayden’s Note:

I found this article to be very interesting… mainly because I was an avid video game player several years ago and am interested in how the brain works.  I find it fascinating that game playing – that continual reward and loss cycle – can physically alter the brain’s structure.  I suspect it has very, very little to do with the type of game, as all “games” have that win/loss cycle, especially gambling.

European scientists reported the discovery Tuesday in the journal Translational Psychiatry. Psychologist Simone Kuhn of Ghent University in Belgium and colleagues recruited 154 healthy 14-year-olds in Berlin and divided them into two groups. Twenty-four girls and 52 boys were frequent gamers who played at least nine hours of video games each week. Fifty-eight girls and 20 boys were infrequent gamers, who played less than nine hours a week....

Special Note: In this latest Alt-Market piece we try something a little different; short fiction based on fact. Make no mistake; while the characters and events in this story are products of imagination, the issues presented and their probable consequences are anything but fantasy. The message? What will you choose to be in the face of hardship and crisis; a mountain? An impassable obstacle to tyranny? Or, a silent and beaten passenger of the Redline?

Adam awoke to a distant murky warbling in the back of his mind, just beyond the sound of the wind and the gentle clap of cold rain against the vinyl tarp overhead. His fresh morning eyes stung as they met the chilled air within the tent. The thin fabric membrane rippled with the rush of the dreary weather outside and he curled into a ball, burying his head under the folds of his rather inadequate sleeping bag, attempting to stay warm. He wished he could remain there, just lay there within his cotton and nylon shelter forever, and never again step outside into the harsh world. If it weren’t for the love of his wife, Sarah, six months pregnant and hungry, he probably would have given up a long time ago....

Adult Entertainment Studio Begins Construction on ‘Post-Apocalyptic’ Underground Bunker

A San Fernando Valley adult entertainment studio began construction this month on what it calls a “post-apocalyptic” underground bunker in anticipation of a global catastrophe rumored to take place in late 2012.

Hayden’s Note:

File this one under, “Didn’t See That Coming… But Should Have.”  It seems as though everyone is getting in on the survival bunker craze.  Moscow is racing to finish 5,000 new bunkers with a 2012 deadline. Things are getting strange.

A spokesman for Van Nuys-based Pink Visual said the bunker will be “far more than a mere bomb shelter or subterranean survivalist enclave” with amenities such as multiple fully-stocked bars, an enormous performing stage and a sophisticated content production studio.

“Our goal is nothing less than to survive the apocalypse to come in comfort and luxury,” said Pink Visual spokesman Quentin Boyer, “whether that catastrophe takes the form of fireballs flung earthward by an all-seeing deity, extended torrential rainfall, Biblical rapture, an earthquake-driven mega-tsunami, radioactive flesh-eating zombies, or some combination of the above.”

The studio’s website will also be maintained and updated throughout any potential disaster “even if those websites are only available on the bunker’s self-contained local network by that time,” Boyer added....

Nickelodeon’s hit show House of Anubis,  already airing in Belgium and Netherlands is due to air in the US for the first time in January 2011. An official trailer has been released and, boy oh boy, its hard to make things more obvious.

You’ve probably noticed:

Hiding one eye –  from what I understand, this character is under the control of the owner of the House of Anubis.

Some sort of occult secret society ritual. The person is about to throw up the Rocafella sign! But seriously, this handsign is used by some circles to open actual occult rituals.
Stylized All-Seeing Eye, derived from the Eye of Horus in the logo….although its about Anubis…the god of the Dead.

House of Anubis seems to be yet another show bathing today’s youth in a precise set of symbols – that are also found in their favorite music videos and movies.

Covering one eye is a long-used symbol of Illuminati mind control.  One eye = All Seeing Eye = Illuminati.  Other modern and pop-culture references include numerous former Disney girls, such as Belinda -

Christina Aguilera, former Disney girl, is no exception…

Here is a popular Russian pop band – Vintage.  Emphasis on the single eye and mouth shut reveals that the victim is subject to Illuminati mind control....

FEMA, the Video Game

Posted on Jun 21, 2010 in Movies, TV, & Video Games

Source: GamePolitics.com

Legacy Interactive has announced plans to create a web-based game designed to teach kids how to prepare for hazards and emergencies.

Disaster Hero is being developed in conjunction with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and, in turn, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under which FEMA operates. Due out sometime in 2011, the game promises to “focus on what to do before, during and after a disaster,” with an emphasis on “getting an emergency kit, having an emergency plan and being informed.”

ACEP President Dr. Angela Gardner added, “This project to develop an educational program for children using a game platform will be a unique approach to teaching kids to have an active role in home disaster planning.”

Breakdown of Where Your News Comes From

Truth is Treason.net - Kevin Hayden

FOX – Fair and Balanced!  CNN – The Most Trusted Name in News!

Have you always thought that FOX News was some sort of “Republican / Conservative” supporter while CNN was the “Democrat / Liberal” channel?

I’ve long said that the Red vs. Blue mentality of America is what is really holding us back.  Is it our greatest problem?  Most certainly not, but it does contribute to the nonsense among us.  Ever since grade school, we are each indoctrinated into thinking we belong to the Blue Team or the Red Team.  The level that this is ingrained into us is only strengthened when we reach high school and college., begin to enter the business world or take on careers.  

We need to step away from the television and stop giving it such god-like powers.  FOX News and CNN do not care about you.  They are after ratings and viewer shares.  They are not reporting the actual news that effects you; instead they report the news that makes your heart beat.  The terror bulletins, celebrity news, etc.  They will create a segment on any topic as long as it has shock value in one form or another. 

Attack the Tea Party and then turn around and during the next show, support the Tea Party. 

We need truly legitimate, unbiased journalism in this country but that will never return.  Money, politics, greed, power and fear… these will always stop the Truth from spreading.  A news and information start-up called, ‘Break the Matrix’ attempted to do just that, but failed after in-fighting and a loss of direction ensued.  (See also: Why Break the Matrix Failed)

Is this website 100% unbiased?  No.  But I strive to show both sides of the argument and let you, the reader, decide what path to follow or investigate further....

Russian Inventors Break New Ground in 360*, Fully-Immersed Virtual Reality Gaming & Combat Training

Posted on Feb 23, 2010 in - Geeks, Gadgets, & Gizmos, Movies, TV, & Video Games

Source: RT News

Two Russian-born inventors have created the world’s first virtual reality sphere. The equipment, resembling a giant hamster ball, allows users to fully immerse themselves in a game’s environment like never before.

Virtusphere is the world’s first fully-immersive virtual reality locomotion simulator developed by the Latypov brothers, who now live in the US.

The gadget’s sensors and wireless receivers connect the gamer to what is going on inside the virtual action, while at the same time allowing 360-degree movement.

Virtusphere is 10-feet in diameter and lets a user of any size delve into any type of new reality, ranging from virtual tourism to complete presence inside any computer game.

The best activity is, for example, 10 spheres, and ten users inside the environment, and they will be able to interact with each other,” says Ray Latypov.

The sphere, which weighs almost 200 kg (440 lb) and entails a rather intensive workout, may also offer players a more physically-active way to spend time doing what they like.

However, the pleasure of owning Virtusphere comes at a price. Taking up to four hours to assemble, each one by hand, a set costs $35,000.

Audi Commercial Helps Citizens Get Accustomed to an Eco-Fascist Police State

Incandescent light bulbs, plastic bags, orange peels, Styrofoam coffee cups, Jacuzzi hot tubs — these are crimes against the environment, according to automaker Audi. On Sunday, during the Super Bowl gladiatorial event, Audi ran a series of ads depicting an eco Gestapo cracking down on citizens engaged in serious crimes against the environment.

One of the ads depicts a police checkpoint where the Fourth Amendment is wantonly violated. In the recent past, such illegal checkpoints were used to find drunk drivers. In Al Gore’s Brave New World, they will be used to search for criminals drinking out of plastic bottles.

The “lighthearted” ads are designed to send a strong message — there are green crimes and it is acceptable for government to respond in police state fashion.

Governments around the world have already established Green Cops. In the UK, the Green Gestapo have the authority to call on the Environmental Agency’s national network of hundreds of pollution inspectors. New York City’s Department of Environmental Conservation has a team of twenty officers called the “Green Police” and they have the authority to enforce environmental regulations and issue citations to environmental violators....

Saints’ Super Bowl Win Most Watched Show in Television History

Posted on Feb 08, 2010 in Movies, TV, & Video Games

Move over Hawkeye Pierce, looks like Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints just took your ratings crown along with the Super Bowl title.

A record 106.5 million people watched the Saints write a storybook ending to their dream season by beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV on CBS, according to Nielsen.

That’s not only the biggest audience to date for the Super Bowl, but the biggest audience for a televised event ever — barely knocking off the finale of CBS’ “MASH,” which averaged almost 106 million viewers when it ran in 1983.

Of course, the television landscape has changed dramatically over the last 30 years. When the “MASH” finale ran in 1983, there were 83.3 million television homes; now there are almost 115 million television homes. One can spin that beating the record set by “MASH” was inevitable.

Though there may be more eyeballs available now than there were 27 years ago, there are also a lot more options for viewers, making the Super Bowl number more impressive. ”MASH” played in the glory days of three broadcast networks....

Avatar Banned in China

Avatar has become China’s most successful movie after making nearly £47 million, but that hasn’t stopped the country’s government pulling the film from some of its cinemas over fears that it could cause political unrest.

The China Film Group, which is run by the state, believes the plot of human colonists attempting to demolish an alien village for its resources steers too close to a very sensitive issue in China at the moment.

Millions of Chinese people have been evicted from their homes to make room for high rises and government infrastructure projects, reports The LA Times. Avatar’s success has also angered some Chinese officials, who fear the film’s popularity takes too much market share from their domestic films.

November 3, 2009

Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.

The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”

So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?

Welcome to ABC’s “V,” the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors....
