Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

While this might not rise to the level of a conspiracy theory, I am more than a little annoyed by the untimely heroin overdose death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, because I think he was one of the most talented actors around and I enjoyed his work. So this is a selfish post. I am pissed…

This is a response to my post 9/11 A Controlled Demolition?. Just as a side note: the AE911 (Architects and Engineers 911) is not refuted. An alternative explanation is provided. In any case both sides are presented. Me? I haven’t made up my mind. But I can tell you this. Either way I don’t trust…

She asks, “Why the genocidal blood lust against the Jews?” She answers: It is a rejection of reason. A rejection of responsibility. And the Left is the handmaiden of the monsters. Why? Because you no longer have the ability or responsibility to make your own decisions. That will be handled by Top Men. Who on…

Links mentioned in the video: Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and benswann.com. A made for TV movie: Me? Well it does seem odd that fires could cause such a symmetrical collapse. And you would expect a collapse slower than free fall as the upper floors hammer each subsequent floor. I haven’t checked to see…

The government thinks it’s just fine to use drones to spy upon the citizenry, but as to citizens using it for their own purposes, no way! The Federal Aviation Administration is shooting down one brewery’s idea to deliver beer by drone: Lakemaid Beer is brewed in Stevens Point, Wis., and distributed to several states in…

Sick children in Washington denied specialty treatment due to Obamacare. “Administrators at Seattle Children’s today said they predicted this would happen, and it’s even worse than they expected,” KING-5 said. According to KING, those being denied services are covered by insurance providers on the Washington state health benefits exchange. The hospital filed request on behalf…

Eric left this one on Facebook Chief of Police Harassed by Feds, Placed on Leave After Signing Pledge to Uphold Constitution. Police Chief Shane Harger of the Jemez Springs, NM Police Department was flying out of Albuquerque Airport last week on his way to a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) convention taking place…

About a week ago I did a post How Cannabis Cures Cancer. I found a paper on the subject that provides more technical details. The Journal of Clinical Investigation Abstract: Autophagy can promote cell survival or cell death, but the molecular basis underlying its dual role in cancer remains obscure. Here we demonstrate that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol…

This will put the economy back into the Depression. Just in time for he next election. Which is 9 months away. H/T Obamacare’s crippling ramifications to families & small businesses

Yes, it happens in the United States. Especially when academia is involved: The accused student is judged not by a jury of his peers but instead by a three-person panel consisting of two administrators and one student “chosen from a specially trained pool of panelists.” Columbia doesn’t reveal what this special training entails, but based on…

The Federal Government is moving towards reduced sentences for drug offenses. But just who in government is moving that way surprised me. On the legislative front, liberal Democrats joined by tea party Republicans have pushed hard for sentencing changes, particularly for drug offenders who make up about half of the nation’s more than 218,000 federal…

I just did a post with the name “Mykayla” in it. The post is Cannabis For Leukemia. I did a search on that in Google to see if I had done any other posts with “Mykayla”. I used the search term: “site:http://rockford-for-safe-access.blogspot.com/ Mykayla” This is what came up: However when I did this search “http://rockford-for-safe-access.blogspot.com/…

Eric Holder can’t explain the constitutional basis of President Obama’s stated plan to get around Congress by issuing executive orders. Attorney General Eric Holder couldn’t explain the constitutional basis for executive orders such as President Obama’s delay of the employer mandate because he hasn’t read the legal analysis — or at least, hasn’t seen it…

I just took another one of those tests that float around — this one is called the Social Attitude Test. This test is adapted from Hans Eysenck’s own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century. Some of the questions were so loaded with assumptions that there was no way…

I’m in a music mood today. Commenter Man Mountain Molehill suggested Patti Smith. I was not familiar with her versions. I liked this one:

You will recall that yesterday I did a post Stop The Smart Grid. The video there got the first mate looking for more information and she found this video. I love it because they have an actual electrical geek discussing the issue. Here is the article mentioned in the video: The Smart Grid as the…

I’ve been watching Obama’s State of the Union address. Beats me why. It’s more of a performance than a speech. Reading from a teleprompter a cliche-ridden speech that’s been scripted by specialists in the art of psychological manipulation while pretending to be folksy and in touch with regular people is, I have to admit, something…

The “Smart Grid™” is a stupid idea. I have been trying to sell this article to possibly interested parties for a few months. No sale. I got fired from my last gig over it. But no point in crying about it. I’m going to give it away. Please do me the honor of passing it…
