Latest Developments

I found a great article that describes the usual steps that dictators and similar characters take when they are developing a fascist state. I do agree with most of the author's points in this article, but there is a pet peeve of mine that I have noticed that a LOT of authors seem to be oblivious. The author of this particular article makes a reference to 'democracy' as being a desirable goal of society. I beg to differ on this point. First, there is no reference to the United States as being a 'democracy' in the Constitution. It is referred to as a 'republic'. The difference is that in a democracy, the majority rules and can compel or force the minority to go along with whatever be their dictates. In a republic, there are certain principles that cannot be abridged or destroyed, regardless of how the majority feels about the issue. From my recollection, I have seen descriptions of the definition of democracy in a US military training manual that says that democracy is mob rule that has always historically led directly to fascist dictatorship in all countries that have implemented it. Unfortunately, it seems to be leading the US into that very same situation.

I also found a good, short article that deals with an issue in Iraq. It would appear that the 'authorities' are only reporting one in ten US soldier deaths over there. This is because the 'powers-that-be' want to have a military presence over there, and that means that they can't let the people over here get too angry about it. This means that they can't report the true number of casualties because if the truth got out, there would be even greater opposition to the Iraq 'war' than there is already. Unfortunately, most people get the bulk of their information about Iraq from major mass media sources, so their perception of the situation is 100% manipulated by the owners of the mass media. Americans who believe the propaganda with which they are fed by their corporate masters are very naive, indeed.

I couldn't pass up an article that deals with the US housing bubble. It's not looking good for real estate these days. The fraud and bubble creation in the real estate market is nearing a climax, and the financial armageddon from this is about to manifest. Once again, do not expect to hear anything approaching the truth from your mass media news/'infotainment' sources because the plan is for the general population to party hardy for the entire trip to the gutter. Why spoil a party with bad news? They'll continue to tell you not to worry, and that the US economy is the strongest economy in the world, real estate is the best investment you can make, etc. But the statistics speak for themselves. Anybody in the 'real' world knows that times are tough and don't appear to be improving anytime soon.

I had found another very interesting article that deals with the fall of Russia. It is kind of long, but goes over a lot of good information about how corruption and complicity with Western interests profiteered from the demise of Russia. The author also ties a lot of this information in with the present dire state of affairs in America. It is a well-written article, and is very informative. The article deals with a lot of international and national intrigue and the workings behind the scenes that we are not made aware of by the mass media sources. Very good information.

Keep on with your search for information. The truth is out there!
