Rang De : My contribution status update

LITTLE BY LITTLE

I think now is a good time for a nice reveal. I feel good about this. And this is a great way to end the year.

I'm really proud of contributing to this 7 years ago when Rang De first began. The amount I contributed equaled about a years worth of income from work. I put the money into Rang De for about a year or two and then stopped.

While most people put their money into real estate and the stock market, I put mine into people.

Rang De is a microfinance nonprofit organization in India and the average loan is about $100-$250 each. It helps out people in the short term and for some it really changes their predicament. The average loan is paid back in a year and that money is then loaned out to another needy person.

The interest (for India) is reasonable. In the beginning it was around 7%. Now it is closer to 10% I think. The interest goes to pay staff to disburse and collect the money and to seek potential candidates for loans. So on a $100 loan, $7 to $10 is used for the overhead which, in my opinion, is highly efficient, considering travel and other expenses.

Here is now the tally after 7 years:

8,523,200 rs loaned out which is about $129,000 USD with the current 66 rs to 1 usd exchange rate. Mind you, I put nowhere near that amount in. The high amount comes from recycling the money numerous times, and I'm pleasantly surprised it's so high.

Number of loans which I contributed to wholly or partially: 5588. This means I contributed to the betterment of about 5588 individuals. (I think a very small fraction of the loans are re-loans - same individual receiving another loan after the previous loan is paid back).

Oh and yes, loans have been forgiven due to death, medical conditions, or natural disasters (mostly floods).

And recently, Rang De has partnered with organizations like the World Bank. Hey, the World Bank has to do some positive work too to not look so sinister. What Rang De does is loan out to individuals and cooperatives so if the World Bank wants to help out with that, let them.

So from my small contribution there's been a difference somewhere in the world.

I have more to say about the program, its impact, and what the unintended consequences may be. I will have more posts on this.

James Corbett - OILigarchy

THE REAL HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

This is perhaps Jame Corbett's finest documentary every produced.

Covering the Rockerfellers, Carnegie, Rothschild and other sinister elite families, James covers oil, banking, medical care / pharmaceuticals, food production, and finally the climate change excuse to take over everyone's lives.

It's a really great documentary to end out the year. We are living in these psychopath elites' paradise.

Living inside the pinball machine

THE BALL IN THE PINBALL MACHINE, THE COG IN THE WHEEL

Yes, everybody goes thru this including me. Plans never go accordingly and where you end up is not where you predicted you were going to be.

Analyze why your ideas and plans didn't pan out or didn't happen as predicted. It just goes to show what preconceptions, prejudices, propaganda, peer pressure, gaslighting, indoctrination, repeated lies, energy vampirism, self interests by others brought you the false notions and suggestions that you came up by yourself.

Now that you've gone through the experience, look at the gap, direction, and your current placement. See what you need to correct and what corrected itself over time.

Follow the path back up and find the source of the false knowledge and information. Never listen to them again and never listen to another person espousing the same things.

Experience is everything and from it comes wisdom, the value of which is indispensable. Pass on what you've learned to others younger than you. And the cycle goes on.

Here's my advice:
Don't push where there is resistence. Go with the flow. Stay in the slipstream and let it guide you. Locate others in the same river current as you and stay from others as they will not be a good fit and will get in your way.

It's better to be alone than be with someone negative or someone that disagrees with you. Good friends are rare and it's not a numbers game.

Make quick checks and tests to figure out where there is resistence and where there are opportunitees and open doors. Take the opportunities and walk thru he open doors. Move on if there is any resistence. Keep going further down the rabbit hole but Keep prodding for more opportunities and openings. The open doors will lead you. YOu don't determine the direction, the openings do. Your imagination and coorindation and planning skills will tell you what to try. Try and see if there is an opening.

This goes for jobs, relationships, recreation, hobbies, etc.

Carrottop and the award faux pas

HILARIOUS!

TOOL GONE BAD

I apologize for the http://gogardenclub.com/ redirect users might have run into the past few weeks when visiting my blog. It appears the Sitemeter code I've used over the years to gauge visitor activity was the cause of it. I read it was recently bought by another company who then put this spam into their tool.

Anyways, I've removed Sitemeter from my blog so the blog should now be back to normal. Phew!

George Coates interview 1991

George Coates is awesome! Just WOW!

He was explaining the corporate system all the way back in 1991 !!!! And that it was the artists that told everyone the truth.

It took me until 2005/2006 to change my perspective of how things really work. Before then, I was just like everyone else - clueless, indoctrinated, self assured and loaded with all the propaganda. IF A was false then B would be false and so would C... That would be so wild and staggering if everything was THAT demented... Well it took awhile for me to realize just how far gone and depraved it was and I'm still going down the rabbit hole. It only keeps getting deeper.

I remember going to India knowing a bit about the real motivations of corporations and the puppets in public office back in mid 2006 so I had to learn about it shortly before then... I think it started with John Perkins videos on the internet.

I seek out and cherish the truth. Hard to obtain and a never ending chore. I wouldn't want to be any other way.

I suggest you watch George IN 1991 !!!!!!!!! Where was all this knowledge until I ran into some of it in 2005??????? It's taken me countless hours totaling perhaps years to get a fraction of the way this man has.

He was the truth movement before there was internet.

Just check out the comments on the Youtube video. This is how the internet should have been.

Neter - I See You

REMEMBER WHY YOU CAME

Here's a new music video from Neter called I See You. Love the drums. I can't even find the band name on Google.

LYRICS:
(I See YOU) Taking risks and making choices
Hearing yourself amid the voices
Everything will change
And move around us
As each day unfolds.
Seeing with no walls and barriers
Remember now before its too late
Who you are and why you came
Some people always stay the same
Some people always fear change.

Gracie and Rachel @ The Federal Bar, LA - 12-13-2015 11am

TIPTOE IN THE BEER GARDEN

Join Gracie and Rachel at The Federal Bar, North Hollywood, Los Angeles on Sunday 12-13-2015 starting at 11am. Not sure exactly when Gracie and Rachel will start playing during the afternoon - There will be other musicians playing too. I'll be there!

Full address is:
5303 Lankershim Blvd
North Hollywood, CA 91601


Free street parking on Sunday. Perhaps the lot behind the bar is free too.

Here's Gracie and Rachel on Audiotree on 11-12-2015. They're selling the performance for $5.99, so buy it to listen in the car :).
[Youtube] G&R - Audiotree


Watch for that tree in the back! It was windy and cold.
[Persicope] Grace and Rachel on top of Hollywood Hotel 12-11-2015

PS: The Zella Day concert at The Fonda Theatre was fantastic! I am not just saying that. She is a great performer and has a great voice. Her stage was lighted so you could see her. She has an outwardly personality similar to Katy Perry's. Amazingly, she's only 20 years old!

Oh, and paying at the box office an hour before the show with cash avoids the AXS fee so I paid $20 for the ticket instead of $27.50. This strategy works great only if the concert does not sell out.

That extra $7.50 went towards a $10 Zella Day CD. And that is how you do it.

I also learned to look at your phone for the time and determine how many hours you need to put on the parking meter until you no longer have to for the day. I got there a bit past 7pm and I no longer had to feed the parking meter after 8pm for Tuesday. So I should've put in 1 hour which would've been $2. But when I slid the credit card it it automatically added 2 hours to my credit card. Well it gave me 5 seconds to make a correction, and by the time I pulled out my phone to look at the time to do the calculations, it was too late. The meter had charged my credit card $4 and I lost $2.
frown emoticon

Next time.. Next time I'll set that parking meter straight!

Run the Jewels - Angel Duster

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO THOSE THAT DESIRE TO CONTROL US

Run the Jewel's latest music video release is of the song Angel Duster.
The interesting lyrics always appear in the second half of their songs.

PARTIAL LYRICS:
You love fear and division
I ain't fuck with your symbolism
I don't give a fuck about power
I'll pluck an eye out a pyramid
Cut a ear from a mouse hat
Go Van Gogh on a house rat
Find another mind to devour
Motherfucker I'm really not hearin' it

A pope is a fraud
A church is a lie
A queen is the same damn thing
You should pray to your fake god that she die
God really exists I tell you like this it reside inside
And anybody tell you different, just selling you religion, tryin' to keep your ass in line
I kill my masters
I mentor none
That means when I die that's it
My style is gone I'm a one of one
One half of the great RTJ

If anyone's interested, I have 2 tickets to go see Meg Myers / Awolnation @ the Fox Pomona Theatre on Oct 30. They're $28 each, below face value. I'm going to the concert but have bought extras.

UPDATE: Sorry, the tix are done sold. Here's the trick: Buy them from the Glass House near the theatre and save on the AXS fee which was almost $10 a ticket. The Glass House has a limited amount to sell so call them first to see if they have them in stock.

This is what to expect.

Meg Myers

RADIO STATIONS NO MORE

It is the age of lesser known / independent artists. The internet makes it easier in finding them. Here's one: Meg Myers.

I don't even listen that much to radio stations on the car anymore. They just don't have what I listen to. I'll be listening to music on my USB stick. Eventually cars will have internet for streaming capabilities from Spotify or Songza.

I found Meg Myers through watching a Youtube recording from a person that records local concerts. Lately, I'm enjoying the Blogged 50 channel on Songza.

Anyways, here's two of my favorite Meg Myers songs:

The Ghost of Memorial Day

VALUABLE LIVES, MEANINGLESS DEATHS

As I come to know what the system is, I implement strategies to avoid the worst of what it has to offer. Thanks to Howard Zinn's A People's History of American Empire and the Engines of Domination documentary, I have a much clearer picture and ideas to circumvent the motives, strategies, and tactics of the establishment.

Today, I am thinking about what Memorial Day is exactly and what it means. Here is my version. Here is how I view it. Here is how I live it:

Individuals died fighting. Now, some of these individuals discovered the truth of why they were in other people's lands. They discovered what they were really fighting for was the freedom of corporations and rich families to do as they please, including steal other people's stuff for profit - profit is that empty in substance to the typical person.

It was noted by the individual, in his final moments, that his valuable life was taken, and that a meaningless death has occurred. His ghost has been lurking ever since looking for someone to tell his story. His wishes are for people to grasp the the truth, to understand the implications, and to avoid repeating history.

His ghost is now looking at me as I type this. He gives me the thumbs up.



... And that is the legacy of the Ghost of Memorial Day.

My Electric Vehicle

THE FUTURE IS NOW

We are here with solar power. The breakeven point for solar panels on rooftops is now only 5 years. That means free electricity for the next 20 years from the solar panels! Yes, if you shop correctly, all the solar equipment comes with a 25 year (or longer) warranty.

Oh and it's just a matter of time that people start driving plug in electrics (hybrids or 100@ electrics). Electricity is cheaper than gasoline and cars are way more fun to drive with electric motors.

Here's my thoughts on my recent purchase on an electric vehicle - the 2014 Ford Focus Electric

Thomas Sheridan: The TRUE History of the Vikings - April 2015

FIGHT THE INFECTION

The Viking fought the infection from the Middle East that was Christianity. The Roman Empire's enemy was free people with indigenous, decentralized, peer to peer cultures, and economies.

Heavy handed tactics, written laws and dictates on paper, genocide, and best in class perception management (all of which still goes on today and spread to modern America) of the Roman Empire over time destroyed the way of life of hundreds of millions of people. Today the Roman Empire has to the Americas in the form of governments, corporate structures, and media and hollywood (perception management).

My trip to Downtown LA and Elliphant

APRIL 8, 2015

George videoed our day in Downtown LA for his Youtube channel.

We started out by eating at the Grand Central Market where I had an EggSlut muffin with eggs and bacon and they had Asian good. Jim, visiting from Chicago, and recently from a 6 year residence in Thailand, mentioned it was the best Thai food he had during his visit to California.

Next we joined a historic tour of Downtown LA (showed Neel, the tour guide, the cost of the Groupon and he agreed to be paid directly). We walked past the Los Angeles Times, City Hall, the police building. We visited buildings recently remodeled for retail, restaurants, residential, and office space. Neel mentioned the space for homeless to freely camp was shrinking and agreements with the ACLU (who are they to speak for the homeless?) will allow the areas that are gentrifying to further ban the homeless from loitering and camping in the near future, as they have done in the recent past.

We visited or walked by what were best in class destinations - Bullocks, the busiest store in the world, the busiest intersection in the world, new glamorous movie theaters built by movie stars to premiere their moves (most theaters are now closed for private parties and one converted to a jewelry bazaar). We went thru the jewelry district, today, the second biggest in terms of # of shops in the world, the financial/banking district, some newly converted commercial areas like arcades, and the Hill, where before WW2, the richest people lived, who then moved to the suburbs, leaving he area desolate. Their homes would later be sold for large skyscraper development into the skyscape you see today. All those skyscrapers are really on one street.

I came out with the impression that living in Downtown LA would age a person quickly due to the sheer number of people, noise, traffic, crime, and chaos. The place kind of hurt (wasn't 100% comfortable) like a 3rd world country.

The biggest lesson to learn from the tour was how things change and how quickly they change. One day you have the best in class of something and which is valuable and coveted. In a decade or two, it becomes abandoned and worthless. Ahhhhh, things are always in change ans flux...

After the tour we ate the tasting menu at Portofino Cucina Italiana. Lot of good food and the Amazon Local voucher really helped cut down on the cost. The owner was the waiter.

Then the highlight of the day. Elliphant on top the Standard hotel singing for about an hour! It was an outrageously good and enjoyable performance.

Here are some videos of the day:
