"We're Not in Kansas Anymore"

The headlines keep demonstrating to us what we've always known, but were afraid to admit. Present civilization is in a crisis. We can continue with the 'ostrich-buried-head-in-sand' routine, but that's not going to make the problems in society go away. If we don't deal with them, they will deal with us! We will be confronted with the results of our inaction, and they won't be pleasant. Change is always the order of the day, and is the only constant with which we are faced. We can either manage change and possibly profit from it, or we can remain oblivious to it and be forced to deal with whatever changes occur. When change is not managed, it usually injures one much worse than it would have been if we worked for change more in line with beneficial results.

One issue that is related to what we feel is change is the present presidential election facade. Obama, Clinton and McCain are all hand-picked toadies to major corporate interests. There is only illusion of choice so that the comatose masses can go vote and feel like they are in control of things. This is only a sham to keep the peace. In the above referenced article, the author (Devvy Kidd) understands that communism is alive and thriving in America. Contrary to popular opinion, the powers-that-be have conditioned Americans to not only desire communism/communitarianism, but to vehemently demand it. Unfortunately, communism is diametrically opposed to freedom and individual rights. It is a move towards dictatorial power of government(s) over individuals.

The government's only legitimate job is to protect the rights of the people. Governments were instituted BY men and women to protect their rights. Over time, the people lose sight of this, and the people in government become addicted to power and begin to use the cloak of government authority to legitimize their exercise of unauthorized power (called actions under 'color of law' , 'color of authority', etc.). As the people lose understanding of their relationship to government, the power-hungry and corrupt begin to infest government and work together with businesses to gain advantages, and to suppress competition. This has been the case in America, and most other countries. I've spoken on these, and many other similar topics in previous posts. Check the archive to get more in-depth coverage of these topics. We are supposed to believe that those who mention the plutocracy of America are somehow 'conspiracy theorists'. This is just an ad hominem attack on people who don't believe the propaganda that comes from the huge corporate interests that make a fortune by controlling society and profiting from the ignorance of the people. It is much easier to label discerning people as quacks and crackpots than it is to refute the claims that they make. Remember that the ad hominem attack is one of the textbook definitions of a logically flawed argument!

The statistics plainly show that there is an elite that is running society, and that the crises that we're observing in today's world are all being engineered. Their goal is to destroy nations and to consolidate government power over all people. You can see the results. The vast majority of the world is disarmed. Now, most of the people of the world are being subjected to the rationing of food and fuel. This food crisis is being deliberately created to control populations. Travel is strictly controlled. It's almost illegal to have a large sum of money, even if you earned it legally. They do not want you to have any freedom or independence. The noose is tightening around us.
I found another very interesting article that demonstrates that society is at a crossroad. There is a distinct possibility that society is going to collapse, but this is only if we remain on this corporate-created road to destruction. There are options that we have, even though the PTB do not want us to realize them. There are numerous reports of the PTB suppressing 'green' technology and innovations so that they can keep the people beholden to their supply of food and fuel. I have heard of numerous reports of people that could run cars off of water or of engineering cars that could get 100+ miles per gallon. They have also suppressed the miracle hemp plant, which has over 25,000 uses. You should check out the videos on this site and learn more about hemp. It was considered a sacred plant in past civilizations. If we're going to survive these crises, it's not going to be because government helped! The criminal element in government, along with their corporate sponsors, are the ones who are exacerbating the situtation! Don't wait around for help from the government like the Hurricane Katrina victims. The Calvary is NOT coming at the 11th hour. Survival is going to be a 'do-it-yourself' exercise.
