To follow up on Loki’s post about our not so favored visitors these next couple of days, I’d like to delve in a bit further, into that uncomfortable territory of what’s really going on behind the scenes - you know, the things that make the sheeple and even many thinking Americans start shouting “conspiracy theory.” Unfortunately, we’ve been getting duped for a long long time, long enough that there’s finally tangible proof of what’s been worked on for the last 60 years or so. Sadly, I fear the proof will do little good, that the wool has been so firmly pulled over our eyes that it’s simply too late to undo what’s been done. Words I hate to hear myself say, as I’ve always considered myself an activist and done what I’ve could to fight the fights I’ve thought needed fighting, always optimistic that we still stood some kind of chance of fighting the power’s that be. Only, it turns out that the power’s that be are little more than figureheads doing the bidding of some much more secrete entities on whose radar our activist antics don’t even register as even the tiniest of blips.
So what the hell am I talking about?
Check out this video for an overview of the real forces that have been working behind the scenes for so long and lovely new tracking devices coming soon to, well, you:
OK, I can’t figure out how to get a youtube video embedded in this here WordPress blog (despite much google research) so if anyone can clue me in, please do. In the meantime, here’s a straight up link to the video.
Fun stuff, eh?

Chris Rudge, owner of Bacchanal in the Bywater and his wife, Otter, (of Backyard Ballroom) were in a very serious car accident, early Monday morning. Their friend that was driving the vehicle, passed away. Chris with his adrenaline cut him and Otter out of the vehicle himself.
Chris has severe injury to his ankle and leg, but will hopefully be alright. His wife Otter was flown to a different hospital due to her extensive list of injuries. She is currently still in ICU and her condition is ‘guarded’ as of last night.
This is a call out to our friends and neighbors of Bywater and of New Orleans. Please support Bacchanal Wine to help and keep it open, while Chris and Otter remain hospitalized. Kelly will be there from 2pm-9pm Monday through Sunday. They are asking specifically if you can pay cash, it will be appreciated while Chris is in the hospital unable to deal with banking transactions and vendor agreements. However, all patronage will be appreciated. Sunday events will go on as scheduled. They are also asking for your patronage to Saturday wine tastings from 3pm-6pm.
Additionally, we are working to get a trust fund established with the bank in which large donations can be made, as it does not appear they had health insurance. Information on that and possibly other fundraisers will follow.
