WikiLeaks Almost Leaks...Almost

I'm a combination of furious, disgusted and sad to observe the reactions of my government as the antics of our diplomatic and warrior past are laid bare for the world to see. I'm not so surprised we did all the things we did, or said all the things we said but that none of this has come to light through our so enlightening media or, for that matter, our ever chatty politicians. No, none of it, like it didn't happen. War is war, we pay for it with money, goods and the very lives of our soldiers. To be so very in the dark about our role as the world's policeman, judge and executioner is a product of our lack of education and lack of wonder at our own history and hijinks. WikiLeaks has done us a favor, a long awaited wake up call to all those who care about how the US of A is perceived around the world and how we, in turn perceive our enemies and allies. It is also apparent that the US is doing it's level, illegal best to make WikiLeaks unavailable thru hacking, denial of service attacks and out and out blocking of access. Yes, blocking of access...where you might ask has this been happening? The LIBRARY of CONGRESS has blocked such access to their visitors as well as their staff. Do we do such awful things we aren't even allowed to know what we do in the name of Freedom and Democracy? What a shame to be no better than China in covering up information distributed through the internet. When will we turn off Google and Bing? I'm aghast, and we are sheep once again. I'm ashamed of ou8r government, truely ashamed. Try to access WikiLeaks and see how far you get. Here's a group of URL's...

If you think the fact that you cannot access any of these sites is some burp in the internet you do not know the truth about government censorship, the FBI, the NSA, the CIA and a few dozen other clandestine organizations that do this kind of nefarious work. Study up, your freedoms, and mine too are under attack and if we cannot stand the things that we do as a nation then shame on each and every one of us as well. Support Our Troops! Bring Them Home Alive Today! Enough is Enough!

On another front...a telephone call came this morning from the Tree company that is going to remove the #$$#! palm tree from our yard. First they said it would happen tomorrow (Saturday) then on a follow on call...rescheduled to Tuesday at noon. Great news! Good riddance!

Additionally, my son is staying with us and has been since the 2nd of November. He and his wife of 12 years are in the process of getting a divorce. While he could certainly stay in Petaluma he likes our hands-off stance toward inter-familial politics. I hate divorces but recognize there is no reason to torture yourself with a bad marriage. Yes HE has kids but that won't be affected, he is still all of the father he is and was. Enough for now.

Thanksgiving come and gone...

We travelled down the 99 Highway through the valley towns to Le Grande in about 3 hrs, then took another 35 minutes to run the rough road up into the beautiful hills of East of Merced to the ranch. Thanksgiving 2010 was held in the 150 year old stone farmhouse and headquarters of The Van Ness Ranch. I have uploaded a 3 part 36 minutes in total video of the trip up that @###@! road. It is passable, that I can say, but not without horrendous ruts and potholes big enough to swallow a car. One dodges as a matter of course so it is an exhausting exercize to say the least! Kelly's cousin actually COMMUTES to her job in Le Grand...more to come...Mike's Home! More about THAT in a while! Here's the video...

Part 1 of 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsKQGbzeaf4

More to come!
