America's Five Founding Fathers Where Great Men and Outlaws! Some Things Don't Change!

By L.J. James

What a crazy world we live in today. It's come to a point where you just don't know what to believe any more. The "news" media has gone from investigative reporting to regurgitating Government and Corporate "News Releases" as actual news.

The thing that I don't understand is, some people actually believe everything they see on TV or read in the paper or on the Internet. You can tell people the Sky is falling but if it wasn't reported on CNN, People will just think your some kind of crazy Chicken Little. Chunks of the sky could be hitting them in the head and they still wouldn't believe it. If CNN reports that the Sky is Falling and states the reason as "human over consumption of oxygen", people start trying to figure out how to stop breathing so they can stop the Sky from falling. It doesn't matter if the real reason is some new Military Toxin.

Let's say there is some national disaster and you say something different from the official Government release on why and how it happened. Now you're some kind of crazy Conspiracy Nut. Again It doesn't matter what kind of proof you have, what kind of scientific evidence you try and present, you're just a nut and no one wants to listen to you. Because We all know the United States Government would never lie to us. They'd never conspire against the people of this country. Anyone remember The "Gulf of Tonkin" incident? Iran/Contra? Weapons of Mass Destruction?

We're used to hearing about the Government Controlled Media in places like China and Russia, but what of the "News" media in the United States? Just a few months ago our Government was besieged with letters, email, and phone calls by people who were vehemently against the so-called Wall Street Bail-Out. At first the measure failed. CNN broadcast a week of programming designed to "educate" us stupid Americans on the reasons why we needed to pay for this bail-out. The next week it passed.

This is not the "Free Press" our founding fathers envisioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a "Free Press" that would help to keep our Politicians and our Government honest, as a way to speak out against injustices, not an "education" tool.

What has happen to the Spirit of the American people? When did we stop demanding to know the truth about what is going on? When did the Truth get too hard for us to handle? Is it fear? It seems every time someone uses the phrase "National Security", that somehow, we understand that's all we need to know. Is it apathy? What happened to the days of protest, the intolerance of greed and corruption? Throughout History there are examples of great Societies that have fallen, not from outside forces, but from corruption within.

We live in a world of the Future where things that seemed impossible yesterday are common place by tomorrow. For some of us, we're too busy trying to make it to tomorrow to worry about what is happening politically in the World. We're too busy working and taking care of our families to seek the truth or get involved with some kind of cause. Many still believe that eventually the Government will take care of us, that despite the loss of our industry, the loss of our jobs, the loss of our freedoms, and the lowering of our standard of living, the Governments still have our best interests at heart.

When we see Governments around the World curtailing our right of assembly, our freedom of speech, do we stand up or do we accept it? Lately, it seems that these political entities have been giving those of us in Motorcycle Clubs a little extra attention. Why is that? Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of principled, patriotic men who value family, brotherhood and their communities above all else. Many are Veterans of Wars past and present. Why are we viewed as Radicals & Extremists? The Governments of the world have begun pushing hard to break us up, shut us down. As a Biker and a Member of a Motorcycle Club I see many injustices taking place all over the world.

I have seen Motorcycle Clubs names and logos seized in dirty under handed methods. Large Clubs charged with Crimes and their members locked away. Government Agents inserted into clubs for years so that they can introduce drugs and violence into the clubs in an effort to bring them down. Ex Members and "friends" of Motorcycle Clubs offered Millions of Dollars if they can come up with charges against these Motorcycle Clubs!

Just as in any culture or society, there are going to be a few bad apples. The problem is, the Government and the Media have conspired to paint everyone in the Biker World with the same brush. I'll bet it takes you 5 seconds to think of a News Story, Movie, or Documentary that you've seen portraying Bikers negatively, but I bet you can't think of one that shows us feeding the poor, protecting the children, or raising money for every disease known to man.

Watching Motorcycle Clubs slowly being taken down in such blatantly unjust ways is scaring the hell out of me. What makes me sad is at the same time these wolves are getting through the gate and destroying the MC world, Many Motorcycle Clubs continue to fight against each other! These fights are embellished and sensationalized on TV and in the press. They are then used by the Governments of the world as the fuel they need to continue to shut down all Motorcycle Club's.

Motorcycle Clubs, much like the United States of America, were started with incredible Ideals. Both set down on paper what they were about and what they stood for. It is time for both Motorcycle Clubs and Americans to get back to their core beliefs. I believe with all my Heart that true Members of Motorcycle Clubs hold the ideals of Freedom and Brotherhood higher than any other group anywhere.

As I have said many times before I am no Hippie and I do not preach peace or love, I am a true Biker! It is just that I have realized "Rome is burning" and only by working together can we hope to be able to stop the fire! Motorcycle Clubs are like people and not everyone will always get along, We are always going to have our differences.

What needs to happen now is for members of every Motorcycle Club in the World to look deep inside and ask themselves, "What is the most important thing to me?" If you truly believe in Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, and you have felt true Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, the answer will be simple. We as members of Motorcycle Clubs, need to set aside our differences and unite as one so that we may work together to save the Motorcycle Club world! We must fight against those who would take away everything we are and have us live as slaves.

Next time you hear that a Government or one of its agents has brought down another Brother or a Motorcycle Club you didn't like, don't celebrate, because the next time it will be you and your club. They won't stop until we are all gone.

MCs The Brotherhood Mentality Vs

By LJ James

This Month I want to talk about the Brotherhood mentality verses the gang mentality in the Motorcycle Club world . Now for those of you who may be asking what is the difference? I will set up a scene to help give you an idea! At a small Bar a member of a Motorcycle Club walks in he sees four Bikers playing pool, He can tell they are a bit nervous, They see his patches and they know who he is with. Now how does he act? Does he walk over to the pool table knock the 8 ball in the pocket say games over and tell one of them to buy him a beer or does he walk over introduce himself and let them know when they are done shooting pool they are welcome to stop over at the bar and have a beer and talk with him! One is the gang way of thinking the other is the Brotherhood way of thinking! I really don't think I need to tell you which is which!

Now one thing everyone needs to remember is all of the original Motorcycle Clubs Started out with the idea of being a tight nit group of Brothers and just about all of these Motorcycle Clubs got along. Don't forget many of the men who started the first MCs where returning home after serving their country during times of war. They where looking for that feeling of Brotherhood here at home that they had been left behind. These where good men seeking adventure, looking to ride their Motorcycles and have a good time with others like themselves. Today most Motorcycle Clubs have gone back to that way of Club thinking, There are very few Clubs that still have the Gang Mentality that was seen mostly during the 70's threw 90's. During the late 90's things had just gotten too far out of hand and most Motorcycle Clubs began to realize the Gang Mentality was not the way it was meant to be and it was not the way they wanted it to be anymore, This was not what the Clubs where started for ! Many Clubs who had been friends where now fighting with each other. No one wanted to wear club support gear and things where just not fun anymore. These MC's had all started their Clubs with the same ideals and ways of thinking, How and why had they grown so far apart that they now hated each other!

Well the answer to how is during the 50's and 60's the golden age of the Brotherhood years of Motorcycling the Motorcycle Clubs where really huge. During this great time many of the Biker Movies that came out showed Motorcycle Club Members as Bullies and thugs. The Bikers in these movies would pick on those weaker then them, take over small towns and the Clubs in these Movies all fought each other just like the street gangs of the time! So of course over time many new Bikers came to believe that this was the way it was. So when New Clubs started this was how they would act and the Original Motorcycle Clubs now had members who where young kids looking to prove how tough they where by starting fights with each other. The Original Motorcycle Club Members had been threw wars together and they where as hard as nails they had nothing to prove to no one, But these younger members felt that they did and would imitate the Biker Clubs from the Movies they had scene and soon it was Biker against Biker, Brother against Brother, MC against MC. This began the Dark age of the Motorcycle Gang Mentality years.

Now for the question Why did this Happen? Well When something Changes the way of thinking and being of Groups like the Motorcycle Clubs so far from their original ideals, You have to ask was it just an accident these movies did this? Or is there more to it? Was there a plan behind it? Is there someone or some group out there that would benefit from having these large groups of Motorcycle Clubs who are run in a very military fashion and are made up of many ex-Military Members fighting against each other? If these Clubs all got along and worked together the world could be a very Different place! Are there people out there who are afraid of this happening?

Today there are very few Clubs left that have the Gang Mentality most have gone back to the Brotherhood way and the word Gang in the Motorcycle Club world has become almost the equivalent of a racial slur. Now as Motorcycle Clubs are beginning to go back to the way it was at the start and trying to put the past behind them, I am noticing that there are more and more Biker movies and TV shows Coming out. Will these shows show MC's in a good way? Will they go out of their way to stir up the quarrels of the past? Will they show us as mindless Bullies much as the Movie Wild Hogs did? Most Important will we let them influence how we really are? Or have we learned from our past? If all continues to go well we could soon be making are way into the second Gold age of Motorcycle Club Brotherhood back to where it all began!!!

Why Do Bikers Like Loud Motorcycle Pipes?

By L.J. James

I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.

Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles)

These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say Hey look at me and draw attention to themselves.

The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching DVDs and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, We could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe)

These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy , if they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored "Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle Go By?" they are going to say yes they Have!" These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!

But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? was it Two years ago?

There are already laws on the books in every state that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud! We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse !

This Country spends too much time whining about things! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles. Motorcycles prevent traffic, They prevent wear and tear on the roads, They are great for saving Fuel. They are also a great relaxer, Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed!

If people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went and rode a Motorcycle they might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!

Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !

If you are that board and are looking for something to do with your life email me and I will help you find something better to do with your time. Maybe we can find something you can do that could actually help make the world a better place!!!

Let Wonder Woman and a Hint of Nostalgia Liven Up Your Checks

By Alan Plastin

Growing up, a lot of little girls wanted to be Wonder Woman. Today, she is still an icon in the superhero world, appealing to both men and women. If you are a fan of the classic Wonder Woman and are looking for a way to spruce up your personal bank checks, then you might want to think about ordering Wonder Woman checks. It's easier than you might think, and probably not as expensive as the plain ordinary checks that you might already be carrying.

Wonder Woman first came onto the scene in December, 1941. Aside from a small pause in 1986, she is one of 3 DC Comics superheroes that have been constantly published since 1944. Wonder Woman is a member of the Amazons, an all-female tribe based on the Amazons of Greek mythology. She was developed to be a feminine role model that was intended to bring sexual equality, love, and peace to people around the world.

A few of Wonder Woman's skills are fighting powers, super strength, and stamina. She is also very adept at hand to hand combat fighting and is able to talk to animals. She also uses her Lasso of Truth in order to force people to tell the truth and can fly unaided.

Wonder Woman has appeared in her own television series, cartoons, and comic strips. She has also appeared on a variety of merchandise that includes everything from underclothing to lunch boxes and Halloween costumes. Now, you can also get her image on your personal bank checks.

In addition to spreading the message of love, Wonder Woman was a very liberated woman of her time and could be considered a feminist. Gloria Steinem even placed her image on the first copy of Ms. Magazine. Tall, athletic, and sharp, she embodied those women that had unconventional ideas during the time period that she came onto the scene. She was, in essence, more than just a comic strip character.

In the brilliant and animated Wonder Woman personal bank checks, you can practically feel her flying through the air. The checks come in 4 rotating images which means that each check will be different from the one before it. You can also find a matching checkbook cover and coordinating address labels to go with your Wonder Woman checks, too.

It used to be costly and time-consuming to go to your bank and buy personal checks. In addition, they usually had a small selection. Now, though, you can purchase your personal bank checks online at secure websites and save as much as 50% off of what your bank might have charged you. You will also have a large selection of checks to pick from so you won't have to settle for something you're not that fond of. Make sure you have your routing number and checking account number nearby when you purchase your Wonder Woman checks and they should get to you in about 5 days or so. - 23815

What it Consists of and How to Use It - Green Screen Hollywood Technology

By Phillip Guye

Hollywood manages to transport moviegoers to different places be it real or normal. With today's sophisticated film making technologies, anyone can have a look at ancient Rome's grand coliseums, walk on the surface of Jupiter, and visit dimensions that was once limited to only our imaginations. Also, creatures such as monsters, angels, and beasts are brought to life with the aid of green screen Hollywood technology. But what precisely is green screen or "Chroma Key" technology? How does it work?

Green screen technology is the mixing of 2 pictures together. A solid background color is utilised so that another image can be transposed in front of the main picture. More frequently than not, green is the color used for this reason although blue is also generally used. Green is more favored among filmmakers because image sensors in cameras are sensitive to it. Green camera channels have less noise and can make the most clean masks. Also, the color green is commonly used as it doesn't have to be illuminated much, in comparison to other colors. This makes the green screen the ideal background of different productions from weather reports to giant budget Hollywood films.

However , there are some things to remember when using green screen Hollywood technology. Good production equipment like lights and quality cameras should be used when using Chroma Key technology screens. Bad lighting can cause unsightly shadows and wrong shades on the screen. Therefore , it is critical to have all of the right gear when filming something that requires the Chroma Key technique.

Green screen Hollywood technology is also used to resolve plenty of filmmakers and photographers' issues. One important use of the chroma key screen is that it permits the user to get rid of the necessity to find an honest to goodness background. Green screens permit filmmakers and photographers to be flexible. With green chroma key screen technology, any image can be added and used as the final background. This is how many Hollywood personalities finish up in far flung regions of the universe or in ancient cities that do not exist anymore in this era.

Green screen Hollywood technology is typically utilised by pros. Apart from being a common tool used in pictures, it's also used for magazine shoots, television advertisements, and studio photography. This is how shocking photographs and visual glasses are made available to anyone who would desire something special for films and pictures. When used the proper way, green screens can help produce great photographs only the imagination can cook up. This is exactly why the green screen is one of the most trustworthy and helpful film making and photography tool there is. - 23815
