I can be the, you can be the
We can be the victims of the
Apathy that comes around
To kill a love eventually
Used to be a part of me
That wanted to be here with you forever
Now we stand around
And find it’s hard to even talk about the weather
As love just walks away
I can be the, you can be the
We can be the ones who go
Never gonna mend it
Might as well just start to let it go
Take a look around
And pretty soon you think you’ve found
A grass that’s greener
Take a little nibble and convince yourself
It’s just a misdemeanor
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
I can be the, you can be the
We can be the ones who see
Both of us are innocent
Love can take the guilty plea
Talks so damn convincingly
Telling us there’d never be another
Then one day you wake up, look into your heart
And you discover
Some love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
Pistol in my pocket used to be so hard
Crawling through the passion with you yard by yard
Now it’s just a memory
Distant piece of history forgotten
Nothing left to salvage when the ship is going down
And you hit bottom
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
Used to be a part of me
That wanted to be here with you forever
Now we stand around
And find it’s hard to even talk about the weather
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away We don’t know why But we know when love walks away
“The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control” William Binney is one of the highest-level whistleblowers to ever emerge from the NSA. He was a leading code-breaker against the Soviet Union during the Cold War but resigned soon after September 11, disgusted by
Washington’s move towards mass surveillance.
On 5 July he spoke at a conference in London organised by the Centre for Investigative Journalism and revealed the extent of the surveillance programs unleashed by the Bush and Obama administrations.
“At least 80% of fibre-optic cables globally go via the US”, Binney said. “This is no accident and allows the US to view all communication coming in. At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US. The NSA lies about what it stores.”
According to official filings, CYNK Technology Corp has “… one employee, no website, no revenue, no product, and no assets.” Current market value? Over $4 billion.
AND THEN THE NEXT DAY … It’s market cap goes over $5.9 billion, making the CEO (and only employee) one of the 400 richest people on earth. Just who is he? According to this post by AlaricBalth:
“The CEO Marlon Sanchez claims in his bio to have been the primary spokesperson for the Medical Tourism Industry council in Tijuana,Mexico. Yet after a few phone calls, the organization doesn’t exist. Sanchez is a front man.”
and …
“Cynk is an illusion. Operates out of a Regus Virtual Office in Las Vegas. The company’s 2011 and 2012 auditor, Peter Messineo, CPA, was sanctioned by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for “deficiencies identified in both of the audits reviewed included deficiencies of such significance that it appeared to the inspection team that the Firm, at the time it issued its audit report, had not obtained sufficient competent evidential matter to support its opinion on the issuer’s financial statements.”
Yeow! (Roxanne and I took tango lessons years ago and one thing we noticed was that most of the time the guy just stands there on solid shoes while the gal has to twirl around like a gymnast on high heels. A metaphor for our society? ;-))
Billionaire entrepreneur Nick Hanauer has a message for his fellow plutocrats. A few tidbits:
“I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine.
… I’m not the smartest guy you’ve ever met, or the hardest-working. I was a mediocre student. I’m not technical at all—I can’t write a word of code. What sets me apart … is a tolerance for risk and an intuition about what will happen in the future. … And what do I see in our future now? I see pitchforks.
… the problem isn’t that we have inequality. … The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society.
And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won’t last.”
