Stand Up and Fight Back

Now is the time to stand up and fight back against anything or anyone that has taken control over you.

If you're waiting for a sign, this is it.  Get on your feet.  NOW.

Whether your enemy is a person, place or thing, whether your adversary is spiritual, mental or physical, or whether your nemesis is internal or external, your window of victory is now wide open.

Seize the day.  Get up.  Punch back.  Fight like you've never fought in your entire life.  Now it's your turn for tables to turn.

Don't waste this strategic sliver of time.  You've had enough time to think, feel and say.  Now DO.

The wind is at your back, the race is downhill, and justice is one victory away --- no matter if you're male or female, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well.

The red carpet has just rolled out for you, so start your advance.  Your opponent is much more vulnerable today than usual.

The glass has a tiny crack in it already from ages ago, so give it a good punch and shatter the illusion into a million pieces.

Time is of the essence.

FIGHT BACK.

Edward Snowden Conspiracy Theory

Edward Snowden is the alleged NSA whistleblower and PRISM project leaker who supposedly outed himself while reportedly hiding out in a Hong Kong hotel.

Edward Snowden's mea culpa went public on the same weekend that saw Rancho Mirage, California visited by U.S. President Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, California Governor Brown and Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa.

Not by accident, the "Sunnylands Summit" was held in California, the technology capitol of the world, with the goal of reaching agreements on technological matters, including surveillance and espionage.

Immediately following the US-China tech-talk pow-wow, a young tech professional, who worked with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, suddenly granted media interviews to expose himself as a sacrificial martyr for truth.

Snowden, 29, has reportedly worked for defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, as well as the NSA, CIA, Dell, and other unnamed contractors.

The whistleblower alleged that his leaked documents exposed the NSA lying to Congress regarding the domestic surveillance of Americans, but insiders allege that some members of Congress secretly knew all along about ongoing spying and wiretapping.

Astonishingly, Edward Snowden has somehow managed to evade the highly-advanced surveillance machines of the USA and communist China, while one of his former employers reportedly cannot remember him at all.

Some wonder if the "leak" was calibrated.  Others insist the whole story is a government psyop.  Most, though, are waving Old Glory and declaring Snowden a hero of the people.

Regardless, Edward Snowden conspiracy theories are filling up the same Internet that is reportedly a giant surveillance operation itself.

Who's watching you?

Neil Armstrong vs Hugh Dryden

Members of Congress want Neil Armstrong's name on NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California's Mojave Desert.

Of course, they mean no disrespect to the late Hugh Dryden.

They just want to erase his name.

Neil Armstrong has been built up to godlike status while Hugh Dryden has not.

California is supposedly all about big celebrity names and publicity bait, so Dryden is now viewed as a washed-up has-been.

How utterly disrespectful to throw Dryden under the bus for not being buzzworthy enough.

The ignorance and arrogance of such an idea does not instill confidence in the politician who suggested it.

Hugh Dryden, a technology legend, was a college student at the tender age of 14.

Dryden became an aerospace engineer, Director of NACA, and the first Deputy Administrator of what NACA ultimately became, NASA.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong already has many things named after him, which include an asteroid, a museum, numerous schools, and even a crater on the moon.

The Armstrong celebrity name is seemingly everywhere.

Apparently, it's not enough for those who wish to needlessly pander.

Congressman Kevin McCarthy's proposed name change for the Dryden Flight Research Center, along with the changes involved in a makeover, will cost money during a time of tight budgets.

In this current time of government scandals, shockers and scary economic uncertainty, what will the United States Congress waste our precious time and tax money on next?

Renaming the Jefferson Memorial after Justin Bieber, or the Washington Monument after Lady Gaga, or the White House after Snooky? 

Californiality DOES NOT endorse the changing of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center official name to further worship Neil Armstrong at taxpayer expense.

The Cult of Personality is not the state religion of America.

San Onofre Nuclear Plant Closing

The controversial San Onofre nuclear power plant on the Southern California coast is closing after 40 years of operation.

Southern California Edison will shut down San Onofre's twin reactors because the future of the nuclear power plant is up in the air after years of regulatory challenges, no-nukes protests, investigations and political obstacles, which have made profitability challenging.

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) provided millions of Southern Californians with electricity until January 2012, when a small radiation leak began inspections that found damage to numerous radioactive water tubes.

"We have concluded that the continuing uncertainty about when or if it might return to service was not good for our customers, our investors or the need to plan for our region's long-term electricity needs," said Edison International Chairman Ted Craver.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that when SCE shows the federal agency that the company has permanently removed every bit of fuel from the reactor cores, the NRC will begin San Onofre's decommissioning process, which will take years to complete.

U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, joined several environmental organizations in approval of Edison's decision to close the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

"This nuclear plant had a defective redesign and could no longer operate as intended," said Senator Boxer, who has called for a criminal investigation.  "Modifications to the San Onofre nuclear plant were unsafe and posed a danger to the eight million people living within 50 miles of the plant."

Southern California Edison, the City of Riverside, and San Diego Gas & Electric all share ownership of the San Onofre Nuclear power plant, which is situated on the Pacific coast in San Diego County.
