.Celtic woman LTD Screws fans once again.

Hello people.
I apologize for not posting in so long. I really didn't have much to say... Until now.
For years now, I have been involved in graphic art. I have been into graphic art for many years. And I love what I do very much. I have taken it upon myself, to on occasion try to do something nice for those in need.
As some of you know, I have had the honor of creating a few portraits for a charity that after investigating, have found out was a fantastic group, that helps out a great many that really need it.
I thought that having this limited ability in art that I do have, why not on occasion try to do something nice with it, to help those in a worse place in the world, than I am.
As a result, over the past few years, I have had the honor of creating portraits for a wonderful, very talented & very dear lady in a music group called Celtic Woman. Her name is Mairead Nesbitt.
I have had the honor to make several portraits of her, that have been raffled off, and all the money raised from these raffles, was then donated to her charity of choice (Oxfam Ireland Unwrapped.) a total now of over $7500.00 U.S.
However, in this latest raffle, which she has fully endorsed, signed the portrait as you will see in these photos below, there have been some dark forces, attempting to interfere. The identities of whom are not yet known to me exactly. But I do intend on finding out. I do have several theories.
Below is a letter that will soon be sent to the organization responsible for this interference. I do intend on getting to the bottom of this mess.
Even if I have to present a very long intricate story to the news media. That may happen soon. Below is the letter being presented to Celtic Woman LTD. More news & updates to follow soon.

To all at Celtic Woman LTD.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Glenn Skinner. A long time friend to Ms. Mairead Nesbitt, and associate of her fan forum web site. “The Mairead Nesbitt Fan Forum.”
I am Known on her forum, as “Glenn A.K.A. The Rotten Rebel. It has been brought to my attention , and to Mairead herself by now, that Celtic Woman LTD. Has denied the request made by those on her fan forum, to present her with a copy of a check, a rather large donation of money that is to be donated to “Oxfam Ireland Unwrapped.” A charity drive made in her name.
This charity drive, and the money raised, was the result of MY creating a portrait of her, that was signed and endorsed by Mairead, and was then raffled off, on her forum web site in her honor.
I personally, would like to know from you, Celtic Woman LTD. the reasoning behind this request denial. I have sent notice to her, in regards to this incident as well.
This project that we have done for her, in no way has anything to do with you at Celtic Woman LTD. A few moments of her time is all that was requested.
I believe that certain members of the news media would like to hear of this story, and the history of past request denials by those of you at Celtic Woman LTD.
Like for example, all U.S. PBS T.V. Stations, CNN, Based in Atlanta, even the Irish Independent news paper, just for starters.
And the general public might also be interested to know why is it, that a company like Celtic Woman LTD. would deny one of its performers, the right to accept an honorary check for a charity drive that has been made in their name.
And why it is treating the fans that spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on this very talented group in this economy, buying the tickets, the t shirts, the programs, the CD’s and the DVD’s, in this way.
I do think it might make a wonderful story for the news media to get hold of. Don’t you? In this economy. All this seems so counter productive for any company to be doing. One might believe there is something behind all of it, that needs to be known. I welcome your thoughts on all this as well.
Enclosed, is a photo of Mairead signing of the portrait for her charity drive. And yes, I am in the photo with her. The guy in a wheelchair.
I await your reply and explanation.

Sincerely and respectfully yours

The truth about YOUR government

I don't post often. That's for sure, unless I have something that I believe is important to post.
For so long now, I have been so pissed off at out government, at our system. I still am. But this guy Mr. George Carlin, summed it up about our government, about our system as best it could be. A comedian. Someone you normally wouldn't take seriously. Well this guy is one of the few that was on the ball.
Read on...

"Forget the politicians...
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own & control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the senate, thee congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying, to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves, and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.
They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right.
They don’t want people that are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by the system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines, and do the paper work. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs, with lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social security money.
They want your fuckin’ retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on wall street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'couse they own this fuckin' place. It’s a big club and you aint in it.
You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy.
The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hard working people – white collar, blue collar. It doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on.
Good honest working people continue- these are people of modest means- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about you.
They don’t care about you at all. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
That’s what the owners count on/ the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white & blue that’s being jammed up our assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth: It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

George Carlin (May 12th 1937 to June 22 2008.
Thank you Sir.

Politically speaking, this is the truth. I am a Democrat. And I will tell you why. Republicans have always lied to us far more so than the Dems. And here is historic proof to back my claim.
I will go back as far as Richard M. Nixon to start. Faced impeachment for the Watergate scandal but was pardoned.
Ronald Reagan, faced impeachment on a number of topics, including Iran Contra, however conveniently, came down with Alzheimer’s Disease, and could not remember enough things when confronted on many matters at the end of his second term in office.
G. Bush Sr. This is when our economy started its gradual demise into what it is now. This man’s economic policies are what set us up for what is and will become the next great financial depression. Not just for this country, but the entire world market. Followed my George bush Jr.
The last nail in out economic coffin. Several weeks after George Bush Jr. s last term in office, is when the structure of this nation’s economy began the collapse of not only this countries economy, but bring down most of the rest of the world as well, due to the fact that our economy was attached to, and dependent upon in so many ways, the economy of other countries Our economic collapse, is in turn bringing down the rest, like a house of cards.
And, unfortunately, it’s not over yet. What we have all been witnessing, is only the 1st half of what will be a double dip in this depression.
Now, republican extremists will of course deny everything I have written and say its all hog wash. But the writing is now on the wall my friends.
The republicans around me are trying to shovel the BS that it is all Obama’s fault. My answer to them is as follow...
You are just pissing on my shoe, and telling me it’s my fault. Well no, it’s not the Dems. Fault. So shove it! And like it or not. We are all now just going to have to go on this ride together.
Suffice to say… Where are we going? What’s smells like its burning? And why am I stuffed in this hand basket? ...Enough said.
