Noodle Brain
Productions retrains people rendered stupid by the current economy to
think outside of the box, regarding their quality of life issues around
money, health, welfare and relationships. We feel that the current economy
has wreaked havoc on our lives for too many hundreds of years and we want
it to stop. We intend to create a critical mass to evolve us out of Catch-22
modes, and into activities that enliven and empower us.

BACK TO NOODLE BRAIN AND OUR POOR EXCUSE FOR A PRESS:
We
prefer the press to be even more illogical and paradoxical in its findings
so that we are finally alienated and forced to think and feel such that
we can accept reality and participate in ways that bring about the experience
and realizations of what is needed to resolve problems as they arise, including
problems that appear to be political but are really economic.
I
am sick of the duality of “good” vs “evil”, of “right” vs “wrong”. This
simplistic splitting of our minds to form logical arguments to persuade
us to choose sides and die for them dupliciously work to fulfill belongingness
needs, to define our values, our beliefs, and to inspire murderous actions
because we are trained Misologists who don’t know how to think and argue
critically in ways that will allow true conviction to surface, and dysfunctional
government practices to be revealed.
We
fear being dropped out of a logical world that uses duality to propagate
madness, to offer loyalties to insane people, and to invest in convoluted
economic policies. This logic is a construct to keep industries in place
that will kill any of us, industries that want to rebuild our lands. Halliburton
would love to rebuild America.
To
use religion as a hotbed for hatred and war is certainly not an act of Christianity…because
Christianity is all about compassion and forgiveness, not eye for an eye
duke outs. Yet America, professing to be Christian, perpetrates religious
instigations to generate war footing. We got to get this paradox if we want
this to end.
The
place where EveryMan can see the truth and where problems can be resolved,
handily, do not exist in a logical world constructed to keep unresolved
dualities in place. In a paradoxical world, where truth is relative and
all things exist in harmony and in conflict forever rubbing up against each
other, generating a future, there exists an intelligence that deals with
problems as they arise, predictably and unpredictably, with or without intention.
Argument,
debate, reason and enlightenment are born out of the willingness to see
truth as relative, to embrace the paradoxes of things to be both true and
false at the same time, and to acknowledge that differences generate the
problems our intelligence longs to resolve. Differences are our fodder for
bonding, for arguing so that our convictions for resolutions can be discovered
and known, and inside of the debate occurs the answer that enables trust
to occur. Ethics (character, intelligence AND GOODWILL) make it possible.
Passion ignites the possibilities, and logic brings paradox to bear so truth
can be heard…
Accounting rules of commerce when honored enable international commerce
to occur without conflict when understood as the ultimate zen of money.
Things are positive and negative at the same time depending on your status
as the receiver or the purchaser of goods and services. When we do commerce
with respect, we do not need a CIA, or classified information to cover up
duplicitous measures to steal another country’s Wealth and Resources. When
are we going to wake up and enjoy our incredibly artful humanity? These
war practices are so tired and costly. Let us dump them.
Wake up! Wake up!
A secular shout out to those of us who are not intellectuals and not
stupid either!
Check out
Noodle Brain News. We update
regularly with features we find on Democratic Underground, The Well, and
other sources. Stay awake. Think for yourself.
In case you
don't know it, our payroll and sales taxes and income taxes that we give
up from our paychecks, our purchases, and our FICA and FTB taxes, Federal,
State, and Medicare are paid to the government to provide us with services.
Our population
seems to be distracted and forgot its civil duty to keep our rule of law
and civility practices intact, vibrant and viable for everyone, at all
times. We need a regulation called Glass-Stegall back in place, which
keeps banks from raping the economy, and we need The Fairness Doctrine
back in place to protect us from media that lies and supports fraud. With
these regulations back in place, both sides have an opportunity to influence
without obstruction. And we need our Food and Drug Administration to put
back safety regulations that protect us from harm, and we need our unions
back to save our wages, and we need our savings banks to pay interest
of 14% so we can grow our own capital instead of relying on the greedy
filthy rich to give us credit.
Can we collectively
get on the same page and remove this disgusting group of criminals running
our financial institutions, our local banks, our housing lenders, our
food, our healthcare, our schools, and our government so we can get on
with being once again a civilized nation under the rule of secular humanism?
The inheritance of the humanities, the arts and the sciences belong to
my children. Will someone recapture them, please?????
Let’s get
out of this context! It is an embarrassment and we don’t want to pay for
it anymore. We are not criminals, we are Americans with points of view
that matter.
Sign our guestbook!
