Reasons To Be Cheerful (1, 2, 3)

I know we're in the cross hairs of a medieval-pandemic with bodies piled so high the putrefaction is awkward to avoid, but there are plenny-of-things that are rewarding and make me and many others happy.

The first, is that my long-held dream since Beijing, of municipal services, transport-electrification of inner cities is happening in my home city of Southampton. You have no idea how happy it makes of me to see an ever expanding cross-section of demographics, adopt the two wheel electric scooter instead of the rotten and decaying stench of 5+ passenger vehicles occupying valuable road real-estate while belching fossils *winky*

Some days when I'm zipping about town on my ridiculously small electric bike, weaving in and out of the scooters, or just just plain hanging on to their slip-stream, I feel like those memories of life in Beijing with electric-bike stories have enabled some kind of manifestation of dream-wishes-come-true, into real life.

I feel blessed, lucky and happy. It really is a dream come true.

Dr Richard Sauder - The NSA's Pre-Crime Blackmailing Machine

The NSA spying scandal disturbed me not because I didn't know. It's old news probably leaked to distract from the war that Obama has just declared on Syria. It disturbed me because in the back of my mind Dr Richard Sauder a respected Deep Underground Military Bases researcher (DUMBs) had an Ayahuasca vision of a machine that controls humanity. If you haven't got time to listen to the whole interview (covering both topics) you can skip to the The Machine part here. It's well worth a listen.
