Dollars, Oil and the Big Wipe Out

This is one of the REAL reasons why Bush & Co. went into Iraq, and are now threatening to go into Iran. They want to maintain American hegemony over world oil production. But it's not going to work. They really needed to raise the interest rate to save the dollar, even though it would be at the risk of severely hampering the American economy. But now, the dollar will continue to plummet in value, and the American economy will still be destroyed in the long-run (which isn't that far away these days). Check out this video below to hear it straight from a media source outside of the mind-numbing American mass media propaganda machine.

Dollars, Oil and the Big Wipe Out

More International Hi-Jinks...

I've been reading and watching the landscape, and it's really been laden with activity! I don't really know where to start, but here goes...

I guess that it's kind of obvious, but the United States is being totally spanked in Iraq. In spite of all the lies, spin and propaganda being spouted from the Mainstream Media and the White House, it's very evident that the military strategy in Iraq is a colossal failure IF the intent was to win the war. The whole thing was unwinable from its inception. My intuition tells me that it was a Trojan Horse type of deal that was initiated to decimate the financial and military strength of the United States. Mission Accomplished. Unfortunately, we have people in America (the vast majority) who actually believe that the government is on their side. This is merely an "Urban Legend".

In order to figure out the 'real deal', you have to stop listening to the words from government lackeys and sycophants. The words are used to confuse you and keep you trusting and buying into the system. But the ACTIONS and RESULTS of their policies are the true indicator of what the intent is of these 'leaders' of society. Look at the present state of America. Would you say that America was in better shape 10 years ago, or worse shape? I don't even think that I need to belabor this point, considering the dire circumstances in which we find America today. Job market is dismal at best, banking system is failing, prices for food, energy, and just about everything else are skyrocketing, the US Dollar is sinking faster than the Titanic, our rights are being attacked from every angle, and there seems to be no relief in sight. In spite of the fact that over 80% of people want the US Army out of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Administration has no plans to leave, and are actually talking about starting MORE wars with MORE countries. You can already see and hear them using the same lies they used to start the present wars to start the new wars. America already has over 370,000 (!) casualties from this war!!! Had enough yet?

These government people are serving their corporate masters, and have zero concern about what normal people want or need. The proof of this is plain to see. The agenda they have is not designed to give us what we want, but to give the corporations what they want. The people pushing the Globalization agenda have just about destroyed National Sovereignty for all countries. The Nation Concept has been under attack for a while. In my opinion, it is just a façade that has been hollowed out, and is now being used to keep people from figuring out what is really going on. It's a mental construct that people continue to relate to because they have been conditioned to believe it. The multinational corporations are the new entities with much more power than a national government. This is why there is such a push for globalization and 'free trade zones'. The free trade is for the corporations, not for the people! In fact, the intent was to integrate the entire world and disperse production world-wide so that no nation could support itself without 'international cooperation', which of course is now being orchestrated by these corporations! And this is why the corporation is more powerful than the nation, or any group of nations. Notice how the corporations are free to trade freely, but the travel of the people (in fact, only of Americans!) is being curtailed. Try returning to America from Canada and see how much hassle the Border Cops give you! But you don't get that if you're Mexican coming from Mexico to America!

We are seeing this manifest in the World's Food Crisis. The corporations don't care about whether or not people eat. They care more about profits, fuel, and other things more than they do about feeding people! In the past, a nation's goal was to feed their people. But since the people running things are not in the nations, but in the corporations, they have no profit incentive to feed people when they can make more money from using crops (such as corn and wheat) for biofuels than they can using the crops for food. Zero consideration for driving hundreds of millions of people to growing poverty and starvation.

The only way this is going to stop is if the people demand that it stop! You're definitely not going to stop it by voting for McINane, Hitlery or Osama Obama! They are merely corporate shills. Don't expect much to change if these political risers get elected (or installed). The status quo and 'business as usual' will only guarantee more pain and death for average Americans. In fact, the course has already been set for America to experience a high level of pain. The question is whether or not the country will survive. I'm not playing with this question. This country is heading straight for a war against the world. Germany also thought they could defeat and conquer the entire planet...

Another Metaphorical Demonstration

I've been away for a bit, consumed with personal issues that required my highest levels of attention. I decided to get away for a bit to direct you to another great article that is a small metaphor for the direction to which the structure of society is being directed. It is not pretty, but it is a demonstration of the dangerous mindset that is already being adopted by the gatekeepers of our society.

We used to have some conception of freedom and its value in our lives. But today, it appears that people are readily adopting a conformist attitude and spirit. This is a dangerous development that threatens freedom for everyone. If the prevailing attitude and spirit of people is that it is ok to force others to conform, this guarantees that eventually any sort of nonconformity will be punished. It used to be that people knew that we all had the freedom to think what we wanted to think, regardless of how it relates to 'popular opinion'. In fact, from all my studies, 'popular opinion' is by definition incorrect. But as time has passed, the demands for conformity are more powerful than ever. How long will we allow these types of developments to continue? Is it right for us to feel that we have the right to punish people for refusing to 'tow the company line'? Wasn't it 'popular opinion' that we needed to attack/invade Iraq because they had 'weapons of mass destruction' and that they were about to attack America?

There was a time that 'popular opinion' was that the Earth was flat, that the universe revolved around the Earth, that germs didn't cause infections in surgery, that a man couldn't run a mile in less than 4 minutes, that nobody could split the atom. Every one of these widely-held concepts was proven to be 100% false, even though you could find armies of 'experts' that freely and widely supported these ideas. So much for so-called 'experts'...

What a lot of people do not understand is that most 'experts' have a vested interest in supporting the views that support the status quo. Most experts that decide to exhibit enough courage to speak the truth against the lies of popular opinion experience public humiliation, derision, ad hominem attacks, professional and social ostracism, and financial isolation. This peer pressure is the price that the truthful often endure just for speaking the truth. Understand that there are people/factions that have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the status quo and that they will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to preserve it. Understand that the 'powers-that-be' have their own goals and objectives. And you can be sure that your welfare is NOT one of their priorities.

Prepackaged Reality

It appears that the 'Commander-In-Chief' of the United States is either in a severe state of denial, or is so obtuse and confused that he is stuck on the idea that the US Army can salvage anything positive out of the present military conflict in Iraq. This is wishful thinking at best, and a fall-guy just blindly following orders regardless of the effects to him or to the victims of these acts at the worst. Let's be real here: there is NO WAY that the United States will be able to come close to anything in the vicinity of a victory in Iraq! The US Army over there is getting its butt handed to it on a platter. The job of the military is to take over territory and kill people, not to perform police actions, or to train people, or any of the other inane excuses that we've been given by the government or the mass media news. The result of this mindless 'strategy' is the slaughter that we are seeing daily, of both Iraqis and of US soldiers.

It is blatantly obvious to me that there is no way that this military action in Iraq is the result of idiots making idiotic decisions. That's too ridiculous to believe, considering that the United States is the most powerful military country in the world. These actions are being taken because it is a part of an agenda that is being implemented by the power behind the scenes. Think about your job and about how thick and heavy the politics get there--for mere peanuts and a bit of ego. Now think about how much politics, control, dirty dealing and other crap has to be going on when we're talking about control of the planet and all of the resources on it. We're talking trillions of dollars and control of billions of people at stake here. You'd at least have to multiply the drama on your job by at least 1,000,000 to get close to the level of intrigue and deception at work in this arena.

You're going to also have to remember that you, your family, your friends, and just about everybody that you know have been victims of thought control and behavior modification. To think otherwise is to demonstrate the effectiveness of your mental conditioning, and is the height of naiveté. Remember, it was once said that no one is more hopelessly enslaved than the slave who vehemently argues that he is free. For most people, their range of thought is virtually 100% controlled, defined and manipulated by the same people who control the mass media and the major institutions in society. Don't listen to the honorable platitudes that are painted all over your TV screen. Look at the results, and you can easily discern the true motives, operation and morals of the rulers of the world and their plans for the plebeians.

"Go to sleep, stay asleep, don't question authority, don't worry about it because we'll do all your thinking for you, trust us because we're experts with Ph.D.s and have stamps of approval on our words, etc." But if you look at the results, the society is going down the tubes with an ever-increasing accelerating rate of speed. Just about everything is dumbed-down and the majority of people don't have the energy to read much more than the funny paper and pick up the remote for their daily fix of television-turned-opiate-of-the-people. It's almost impossible to get most people to turn off the television. There are only a few million people hooked on narcotics, but there has to be at least 150 million people addicted to television. At least the people on narcotics are under no illusions that their addiction is harmful to their lives. Can you live without the television for one day? How about one week? Did that thought just send a chill down your spine? If so, you're probably a TV addict. I don't ever recall there being a Television Viewer's Anonymous. There might not be enough facilitators to accommodate even a fraction of the total number of TV addicts. Boy, would it be great to be wrong about this, but I suspect that I'm right about this one.

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.
