China is Moving for Greater Control

I just saw this video that should be a wake up call for the rest of the world. But then again, it might just be the leadership of the world moving to the East from the West. Nothing lasts forever, and it is looking like Western society is about to be eating a lot of 'humble pie' in the future. China (and the rest of Indo-China) is poised to take over the reins of power. The people in the West have had a good thing for too long, and the old saying that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" is not just trivia.

From bad investments in crazy instruments like derivatives, bureaucratic freeze, lazy neo-imperialistic policies towards the 3rd world, and wars, to the stagnancy of technological progress that is more about maintaining the status quo than about increasing efficiency, the paradigm upon which Western Civilization has been based is failing.

There may not be much that can be done now, as the course has been set and the foundation for this was laid in the 1970's, 80's and even the 90's. The terrible financial environment that we have today is not just the result of G.W. Bush or Obama, but has been a result of decisions made because of 'political expediency' if not totally engineered by certain factions. The bottom line is what is expressed in the video below. It used to be Western countries that would do these things, but "My, how things have changed..."

Change is the Order of the Day

I've been away too long! Anyway, you know that there are more recent developments going on today. I just had to start off with a report that shows that American casualties in Iraq are being severely understated. This is being done for obvious political reasons. If Americans knew that there were over 15,000 dead young men lost in Iraq, there would be a major uprising and an extremely hostile sentiment against GW Bush and his lies concerning this 'war'. People who do their homework in history know that the first casualty in times of war is the truth, and it would appear that this is the case with the Iraq 'war' as well. I have 'war' in quotes because technically, this isn't a war because there was never any declaration of war generated or voted for by Congress as required for war according the the highest law of the land, the Constitution. The purpose of this was to prevent the armed forces being used by a single man acting despotically. I guess that theory has been torpedoed...

In a related story, it would appear that the lies of Bush and Blair have been confirmed as lies. I don't want to appear to be a 'know-it-all', but I highly suspected that this Iraq and Afghanistan military excursions have been based on incredulous falsehoods. Iraq was a country that was not really concerned with the United States, and most of the 'intelligence' that was used to justify attacks on it were invented. The true intelligence analysts in the various alphabet agencies were run out of their respective organizations, and replaced by stooges and yes-men to give the reports that would support these attacks. Studies by the Iraq Study Group and other experts and aware people have subsequently demonstrated that every reason that was given to the American people to justify these attacks have been total falsehoods. Most people in-the-know realized that Iraq has never been shown to be a threat to the United States. This idea is laughable on its face.

But the scariest story that I've seen in recent memory is one in which it is reported that China has decided to dump about $1 trillion US Dollars on the market so that they don't get stuck with them when the US Dollar collapses. The bottom line is that most people in the economic field know that the USD is analogous to a 'dead-man-walking', and that it's only a matter of time before it loses a significant portion of its value. The Chinese do not want to be burned when the dollar collapse accelerates. The fact is that the USD is already in a decline, but the crash is probably still ahead of us. The only reason that the average American doesn't recognize it is because of the incessant propaganda barrage of 'good news' in the mass media. This creates an image diametrically opposed to the reality of the American economy. Witness the decimation of manufacturing, the auto industry in a crash dive, and the indebtedness of the country on commercial and personal levels. In short, the country is drowning in debt with no way to stop it in sight.

A word to the wise is superfluous. This is definitely the calm before the storm. History cannot be swayed. Universal principles are called universal because it is impossible to break them without suffering the consequences. A lot of people are going to learn this lesson the hard, painful way.

They thought they were free...

This is another excellent article, but also has some good insights that serve as a good preface to the main article. I must say that the preface is very good. I can personally verify the effects of orgone generators, as I have constructed some myself, and they definitely work, even though many of the effects are of a subjective nature. It is imperative that people take action, regardless of how small or large. If we do not resist tyranny, we are destined to be subjected to it, and to be victims of it. Maybe it is in the nature of humans to be victims of tyranny, as it appears to be a historic cycle. Maybe I am wrong, or am a part of a minority of people that just can't accept the 'go along to get along' failure strategy for living in society. But to me, living as a victim of tyranny is not living. It is more like merely existing.

It would appear to me that America has declined considerably since my childhood days. The value of the US Dollar has plummeted markedly. I remember when a decent new car was $3000. Now they are $30,000. Tha would represent an inflation rate of 1000% in about 30 years. When I was a kid, the US was the world's greatest creditor nation, and led the world in production. Today, we are the world's greatest debtor nation, and Japan and China lead the world in production. In fact, the productive capacity of this country has been virtually eliminated and/or exported out of the country.

Just some of my observations. Hopefully, I can wake up and see that it was all just a bad dream. But I appear to be wide awake with eyes wide open. Unfortunately, most of my fellow people appear to be fast asleep with eyes-wide-shut. There are consequences to both of these conditions. I'll let you contemplate them on your own.

The prison industry in America

Yes, I've found another article that speaks on the boom in private prisons in America. They are now using it for profit. It is now being used to use the slave labor of the inmates. Many of the big companies are rushing into the prison industry to reap the benefits from cheap, forced labor. It is very pitiful. Most of the inmates are being convicted of 'crimes' that have no real victims. These are better known as political crimes, as there really is no crime if there is not a flesh & blood injured party involved. Think about it! The statistics in the article show that the US has more inmates than any other country, even though we only represent 5% of the world's population. Even China, with over 1.5 billion people, has less incarcerated people than does the United States. What does that tell you? It is high time that we changed things in this country. Is this the legacy that we want to leave to our children?
