Iacocca: Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

Normally, I don't post other people's articles, but this one was so eloquent, so on-point that I decided to post this excerpt from Lee Iacocca's book here in it's entirety. The direct link to the article can be found by clicking here. I couldn't have said it any better myself, although I probably would've peppered it with more references to these things we are witnessing being done by design rather than just being a result of mediocrity.

Excerpt: Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

By Lee Iacocca with Catherine Whitney

04/11/07 "ICH" -- -- -Had Enough? Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out! You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies.Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for.

I've had enough. How about you? I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, you're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the young people." I'd love to, as soon as I can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't vote because they don't trust politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work for us. Who Are These Guys, Anyway? Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them, or at least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution. We didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a dictatorship, not a democracy. And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of factions. We're a people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall together.

Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to action and make us stand taller? What happened to the strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to the courageous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do better. Where have all the leaders gone?

The Test of a Leader
I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the top. I've figured out nine points, not ten (I don't want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses). I call them the "Nine Cs of Leadership." They're not fancy or complicated. Just clear, obvious qualities that every true leader should have. We should look at how the current administration stacks up. Like it or not, this crew is going to be around until January 2009. Maybe we can learn something before we go to the polls in 2008. Then let's be sure we use the leadership test to screen the candidates who say they want to run the country. It's up to us to choose wisely.

A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to people outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world is a big, complicated place. George W. Bush brags about never reading a newspaper. "I just scan the headlines," he says. Am I hearing this right? He's the President of the United States and he never reads a newspaper? Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter." Bush disagrees. As long as he gets his daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through the sound system, he's ready to go.

If a leader never steps outside his comfort zone to hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance. It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care. Before the 2006 election, George Bush made a big point of saying he didn't listen to the polls. Yeah, that's what they all say when the polls stink. But maybe he should have listened, because 70 percent of the people were saying he was on the wrong track. It took a "thumping" on election day to wake him up, but even then you got the feeling he wasn't listening so much as he was calculating how to do a better job of convincing everyone he was right.

A leader has to be CREATIVE, go out on a limb, be willing to try something different. You know, think outside the box. George Bush prides himself on never changing, even as the world around him is spinning out of control. God forbid someone should accuse him of flip-flopping. There's a disturbingly messianic fervor to his certainty. Senator Joe Biden recalled a conversation he had with Bush a few months after our troops marched into Baghdad. Joe was in the Oval Office outlining his concerns to the President, the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanded Iraqi army, the problems securing the oil fields. "The President was serene," Joe recalled. "He told me he was sure that we were on the right course and that all would be well. 'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'how can you be so sure when you don't yet know all the facts?'" Bush then reached over and put a steadying hand on Joe's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts." Joe was flabbergasted. He told Bush,"Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough." Joe Biden sure didn't think the matter was settled. And, as we all know now, it wasn't. Leadership is all about managing change, whether you're leading a company or leading a country. Things change, and you get creative. You adapt. Maybe Bush was absent the day they covered that at Harvard Business School.

A leader has to COMMUNICATE. I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. Nobody in the current administration seems to know how to talk straight anymore. Instead, they spend most of their time trying to convince us that things are not really as bad as they seem. I don't know if it's denial or dishonesty, but it can start to drive you crazy after a while. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful. The war in Iraq has been, among other things, a grand failure of communication. Bush is like the boy who didn't cry wolf when the wolf was at the door. After years of being told that all is well, even as the casualties and chaos mount, we've stopped listening to him.

A leader has to be a person of CHARACTER. That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having the guts to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you want to test a man's character, give him power." George Bush has a lot of power. What does it say about his character? Bush has shown a willingness to take bold action on the world stage because he has the power, but he shows little regard for the grievous consequences. He has sent our troops (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens) to their deaths. For what? To build our oil reserves? To avenge his daddy because Saddam Hussein once tried to have him killed? To show his daddy he's tougher? The motivations behind the war in Iraq are questionable, and the execution of the war has been a disaster. A man of character does not ask a single soldier to die for a failed policy.

A leader must have COURAGE. I'm talking about balls. (That even goes for female leaders.) Swagger isn't courage. Tough talk isn't courage. George Bush comes from a blue-blooded Connecticut family, but he likes to talk like a cowboy. You know, My gun is bigger than your gun. Courage in the twenty-first century doesn't mean posturing and bravado. Courage is a commitment to sit down at the negotiating table and talk.

If you're a politician, courage means taking a position even when you know it will cost you votes. Bush can't even make a public appearance unless the audience has been handpicked and sanitized. He did a series of so-called town hall meetings last year, in auditoriums packed with his most devoted fans. The questions were all softballs.

To be a leader you've got to have CONVICTION, a fire in your belly. You've got to have passion. You've got to really want to get something done. How do you measure fire in the belly? Bush has set the all-time record for number of vacation days taken by a U.S. President, four hundred and counting. He'd rather clear brush on his ranch than immerse himself in the business of governing. He even told an interviewer that the high point of his presidency so far was catching a seven-and-a-half-pound perch in his hand-stocked lake. It's no better on Capitol Hill. Congress was in session only ninety-seven days in 2006. That's eleven days less than the record set in 1948, when President Harry Truman coined the term do-nothing Congress. Most people would expect to be fired if they worked so little and had nothing to show for it. But Congress managed to find the time to vote itself a raise. Now, that's not leadership.

A leader should have CHARISMA. I'm not talking about being flashy. Charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you. It's the ability to inspire. People follow a leader because they trust him. That's my definition of charisma. Maybe George Bush is a great guy to hang out with at a barbecue or a ball game. But put him at a global summit where the future of our planet is at stake, and he doesn't look very presidential. Those frat-boy pranks and the kidding around he enjoys so much don't go over that well with world leaders. Just ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received an unwelcome shoulder massage from our President at a G-8 Summit. When he came up behind her and started squeezing, I thought she was going to go right through the roof.

A leader has to be COMPETENT. That seems obvious, doesn't it? You've got to know what you're doing. More important than that, you've got to surround yourself with people who know what they're doing. Bush brags about being our first MBA President. Does that make him competent? Well, let's see. Thanks to our first MBA President, we've got the largest deficit in history, Social Security is on life support, and we've run up a half-a-trillion-dollar price tag (so far) in Iraq. And that's just for starters. A leader has to be a problem solver, and the biggest problems we face as a nation seem to be on the back burner.

You can't be a leader if you don't have COMMON SENSE. I call this Charlie Beacham's rule. When I was a young guy just starting out in the car business, one of my first jobs was as Ford's zone manager in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. My boss was a guy named Charlie Beacham, who was the East Coast regional manager. Charlie was a big Southerner, with a warm drawl, a huge smile, and a core of steel. Charlie used to tell me, "Remember, Lee, the only thing you've got going for you as a human being is your ability to reason and your common sense. If you don't know a dip of horseshit from a dip of vanilla ice cream, you'll never make it." George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites. You know, Mr.they'll-welcome-us-as-liberators-no-child-left-behind-heck-of-a-job-Brownie-mission-accomplished Bush. Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based world, and I like it here." I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while.

The Biggest C is CRISIS LEADERS are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the day, and he told Vice President Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero. That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraq, a road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you,I don't know what will.

A Hell of a Mess.
So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?" Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, competence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when "the Big Three" referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it? Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bobblehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope. I believe in America. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a call to action for people who, like me, believe in America. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the horseshit and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough

New Developments-Same Old Stuff

I found a few great articles that describe the present state of affairs. The first article deals with trying to find solace in trying times. The author talks about the New Thought Movement and how it relates to the blockbuster book and video, The Secret. It is a bit long, but entertaining and makes for light, but relevant reading.

The next article speaks about the growth of the Nanny State and how our freedoms are under intense attack. I myself hate the TSA, all enabled by the 911 attacks being used as an excuse to take away our freedoms. It is really irritating to me. I remember when you could travel freely, but now, we are presumed guilty when trying to fly. It infuriates me to have to submit to being searched, and the absence of respect that these people have for us. I highly value my privacy, but it appears that the government wants all privacy rights (as well as other rights) destroyed.

The third article deals with the imminent collapse of the American Empire. Chalmers Johnson, author of the book Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic, goes over the progression of the transformation of America from a republic to an empire. It's pretty evident that the United States is on the road to destruction. In fact, it appears that the destruction of the United States is already a fait accompli, and that we're only waiting for the public announcement of such. It's very evident to people who aren't awake that these are the end days in which we are living.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but to truly be aware of what is occurring in the world would make most intelligent people very concerned. This is not to instill fear in people, but just to show the problems and the likely outcome of the elements that we observe in today's world society. It seems to me that there is a plan in effect that is designed to cause a lot of pain and destruction in the world, and most people appear to be oblivious to it. This isn't a good thing! But then again, it doesn't have to be. It may just be our destiny...

Felony Jury Tampering--A Common Problem

This is a must-read article that discusses the jury-tampering scheme that is almost a daily occurrence in the U.S. Judges routinely 'instruct' juries to do as they say, and only consider narrow-scope considerations in trials, when it is commonly known (or should be commonly known) that the jury has the power to try the facts AND the validity of the law allegedly being applied. If you think about it, there would be no need for a jury if they were only there to determine the facts of the case without considering the law.

The whole purpose of the jury system is to restrict the powers of a runaway judicial and legislative system. It is to give the ultimate power back to the people, regardless of how judges and courts usurp unlawful power just because they have total control of the courts by the use of their standing army (known as the police). Judges are known to repeatedly break their oaths of office, and legislate from the bench, and practice law from the bench. The legislature has been known to pass 'laws' that are unconstitutional. The theory behind the jury system is to prevent these government lawbreakers from being able to enforce their bogus laws by having a knowledgable citizen population refuse to convict innocent people for unlawful reasons! This is the true intent of the institution of the citizen's jury.

The reason that the judges like to instruct the jury is so that they can (unlawfully) expand their powers. They don't want juries to know that they can (and should) judge the law as well as the facts of the case. When juries refuse to find people guilty of bad laws, eventually the courts realize that they cannot enforce their bogus laws. You should share this knowledge with people you know that serve on juries. But you'd better not tell the court people that you know this because they seek to keep informed jurors off of cases. You should also check out the web page for the Fully Informed Jury Association so that we can protect our rights.

Is US Ready to Attack Iran?

I saw an article that says that the US is preparing to attack Iran on April 6th. I'm not sure how true this is, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. There appears to be a goal to increase the U.S. military presence in the Middle East. This isn't new, and we can see the results of this policy in action in Iran and Afghanistan where the alleged reasons for the attacks on these countries were 100% contrived.

It also appears that the Bush Administration is bullying companies that try to do business with Iran, as well as working to get the U.N. to apply pressure on the country to cease research on nuclear energy. Sounds like 'the pot calling the kettle black' to me. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons on another country (i.e., 'Weapons of Mass Destruction') is the U.S. It seems to me that Bush and Co. are fabricating excuses to wage war on Iran, just like they escalated the propaganda machine against Afghanistan and Iraq. We have subsequently found that all of the hype was just that--HYPE, with zero substance or justification. Now, we're supposed to believe that little Iran is Satan's H.Q., just as Saddam was Hitler reincarnated. Do the lies ever stop? I guess not when you can get away with it, just like Bush and his hidden controllers have already done.

Food Catastrophe In the Making?

I just found out that there is an epidemic of death passing through the honey bee population. This might sound like a big joke, but I assure you that the honey bee is one of the most important elements in food cultivation for humans. In fact, some people think that millions of people could be affected by the problems that would result if the honey bee were to become extinct.

The worst thing about this situation is that some people suspect that the massive honey bee die-0ff is the result of Genetically-Modified/Genetically Altered crops being heavily marketed by the likes of corporations like Monsanto. Another cause could possibly be the accumulation of mercury in the bees. It has been said that mercury contamination of the environment is increasing at an alarming rate. The article above states that mercury contamination has been found in just about all parts of the environment as well as in numerous wildlife species. It has already been found that Genetically Engineered corn may be toxic to humans in a recent study. The problem with this is that virtually all of the corn in America is genetically engineered!

Another problem that I see with this is that once the genes from the genetically altered plants are out 'in-the-wild', there is no way to control their spread, or remove them from the genetic makeup of the affected plants. In addition, these genes will continue to be spread throughout the environment, and also throughout the entire food chain. Can you say Pandora's Box? There is really no way to reliably forecast the extent of the damage that this may do. It is not out of the realm of possibility that it could lead to the extinction of all life on the planet. Who can say? What were these people thinking about? All I know for sure is that the entire push for genetically engineered genes being placed into the environment was premature, and was either done wrecklessly, or was done intentionally to create scourges and other severe problems on this planet. It was (and continues to be) a foolhardy plan, at best. It is the equivalent of playing Russian Roulette with the future of humanity.

The March Continues

Yes, I've found more informative, relevant articles that discuss the current progression (or what can be more aptly termed a regression) in the current State of the Union/World. I hate to sound like a perpetual pessimist, and I can truly see some people growing and learning and becoming more self-actualized. But it cannot be denied that the state of affairs in government and especially the economy of the United States/America is in a death spiral.

On the one hand, we can see how the economy has been destroyed. The bottom line is that the 'Powers-That-Be' are dead set on propelling the world towards Armageddon and a world government. There is a concerted attack upon the last sizeable middle class in the world--the one in America. But it would appear that this population has already been decimated and is virtually destroyed. On the bright side, there also appears to be a move towards a new economy. This appears to me to be an expression of human ingenuity, creativity, and the triumph of the spirit over the control of tyrants and despots who seek to impose their will over society. But while the creative people who refuse to be propelled into vagrancy and slavish dependence upon those who control society fight to build and maintain wealth, the controllers of society seek to corner and subjugate them. The critical fulcrum seems to be the control of the basic necessities of life (i.e., oil/energy, water, food, air, etc.). They are manipulating these elements, if not outright poisoning them or rationing them out. They ration out the oil and manipulate the price of it, ignoring the fact that 'Peak Oil' is a media-created myth; witness the poisoning of the food supply with such things as feeding cattle rendered meat and fecal wastes, genetically manipulated crops, the adulturation of the chemical properties of most foodstuffs, etc. So it would appear to me that the final battleground (and their point of control) will be over these necessities.

Of course, this does not take into account the other instrument of control that these elements use to control society. These elements would be the total control and debauchery of the financial system through the Federal Reserve/fiat 'money' system that is used to totally corrupt the leadership of the Nation-State. The critical element in this strategy is the mind control (control/manipulation of perception) that makes it all possible. Nobody can get people to voluntarily act to their own detriment without using deception on a regular basis. I have discussed these topics in depth in other posts, so I won't totally rehash those works. But you can check them out at your leisure when you get a chance. (Some Information on Suppressed Economics, The Media Social Engineering Apparatus, Prepackaged Reality, Deprogram Yourself, Has Your Perception Been 'Socially Engineered'?
You can also check out some of my other posts, as this is just a sampling of my writings on these topics.

I just seek to talk to those who wish to see what is occurring in society, or who wish to awaken from the media-induced slumber that most people get from being exposed to the mind control apparatus. It is almost impossible for anyone to not be affected by this massive, stealthily-crafted, ubiquitous element in our lives.

Federal Reserve. Is it REALLY Federal?

I've known for a long time that the Federal Reserve is neither 'Federal', as in being an official part of the government; nor does it have anything of substance that serves as a 'reserve'. This term is a fraud, and is a total deception in order to get the people of America to go along with the charade. If people actually knew these facts, there would probably be an uprising and purging of the government before sunrise tomorrow!

It is a sinister system. Unfortunately, we have been indoctrinated to believe in it, and have CONfidence in the status quo. But that just means that we've become accustomed to living in delusion. The results speak for themselves. If you haven't noticed, there is a total deconstruction of the American economy being implemented. The former Federal Reserve Chairman Volker said that it was 'the controlled destruction of the American economy" that him and those after him were engineering. And you can see it happening all over the country. Witness the decimation of the American auto industry, which used to be the backbone of the American economy. Even Bill Gates has jumped onto the bandwagon.

The private owners of the Federal Reserve have had (and used) the power of this central bank to purchase every major institution in America. It's pretty easy to purchase things when you can print up as much 'money' (also known as 'Federal Reserve Notes', mischaracterized as 'Dollars') as you wish for 3 cents. This is how they are able to purchase government officials, heads of institutions, judges, attorneys, Congressmen, etc., at will. Money is literally no object for them because they can always print up as many as necessary.

Now, whatever their plan has been, you can now see that they are in the liquidation phase, and are now seizing as many tangible assets as they can. Foreclosures are rising at a geometrically-increasing rate. High-paying jobs are being rapidly eliminated from America, and being farmed out to other countries that pay slave wages in comparison. The truly frightening aspect of this is that these jobs are being replaced by service sector jobs that pay a small fraction of the rate that the old manufacturing jobs paid, as well as severely reduced benefits. All at a time when most people are being indoctrinated to believe that if they 'go to school, get good grades and go out and get a good job', they will succeed financially.

It's time for Americans to turn off American Idol and WAKE UP TO REALITY!

Is Vitamin D a panacea?

I have found a great short article in regards to the powers of Vitamin D. It is very important information that should be of value to most people. It seems like another powerful vitamin has been found, or refound. It would appear that the more research and information that I uncover, the more that I find that there are natural alternatives to pharmaceutical/allopathic (M.D.) approaches to disease treatment and cures.

An Interesting Parody

I saw an article that some people thought was real (I'm not sure how), but it is severely ironic and somewhat depressing. It is an illustration of how brainwashed and manipulated most people are. It is written from the viewpoint of David Rockefeller. I think that it's an interesting read. It's pretty self-explanatory. Check it out...

The Peak Oil Hoax

I found a great article dealing with the hoax of 'Peak Oil'. I had already posted a short article on this topic on 10-06-05. It appears that the explanation of how oil was formed in the Earth is mythology. Oil is NOT produced by old fossils and plants turning into oil over millions of years of pressure in the Earth. When I finally stopped and thought about it, the conventional explanation of oil generation is stupid. How could there possibly be hundreds of billions, or even trillions of barrels of oil that came from old fossils? Was there ever that amount of plants and dinosaurs in existence in order to generate these enormously vast amounts of oil? The short answer is a resounding NO.

It would appear that oil is naturally generated deep inside the Earth. The reason oil reservoir production slowly diminishes is because the holes in which the oil rises from deep inside the Earth slowly clog up with silt and other particles until production stops. But the rub is that all that is required is for the drillers to use some new technology to redrill some hole(s) in the bottom of the reservoir so that oil can begin to refill the reservoir. The article documents how the Russians have proven this in over 300 drillings in allegedly 'empty' oil reservoirs.

It just appears that the more research I do, the more that you find that you have been lied to about just about everything. The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper!

Rense.com is back up...

I'm glad to report that rense.com is back up. They have an explanation of what happened on the site. It doesn't look like it was the result of foul play, but then again, you never know...

Rense.com is Down!!!

I was trying to access rense.com all weekend, but I couldn't do it from work or from home! I came to work this morning and tried again, but to no avail, I just got an error message, not even an 'Error 404' message. I did a search on Google, and found that people that get the Rense show reported that Jeff was having people switch servers, but that they also found that he hadn't been backing his show and web page up since last August! Hopefully, we won't lose all of the information that he had on the site. I know that I've linked to a number of the articles that he references, as well as many links to articles that are (were) on his web site. I guess that it just goes to show you that you can't trust others with 100% of your business. An old axiom that I learned in business is that you, "Trust, but verify." Business is business, and can't be left to chance or random fate.

Luckily, there are other sites online that also have significant amounts of information. But there was something special about rense.com. I think that it is because he didn't care about what others thought or about what was 'politically-correct' (an oxymoron if I ever heard one). I didn't agree with all the articles on his site (who agrees 100% with anyone or anything?), but I held his site with the highest of regards. I hope that he can recreate his site ASAP. And it would not be outside the realm of possibility that his site was hacked or purposely taken down through foul play or intrigue...

Vaccination Revisited

I found an article that discusses the effectiveness of vaccines that revived my interest in the topic. Although we hear a lot of opinions and talk from the alleged health care experts that support compulsory vaccinations, in my research and experience it would appear that vaccines are:

1. ineffective in treating or preventing diseases,
2. dangerous, especially to young children and infants who have undeveloped immune systems,
3. simply a tool for the medical establishment to extract more money from its patients/victims

The beginning of the vaccination theory was with Edward Jenner, an unschooled, uneducated man who had a theory that he stubbornly stuck to even though he was constantly starting epidemics of cowpox in the livestock in England. He was so incorrigible that the authorities had targeted him in order to get him to stop inoculating the cattle with cowpox.

Later experience with vaccines has demonstrated that they don't prevent disease. In fact, it would appear that they actually cause many of the diseases that they are alleged to prevent! I've seen numerous instances of vaccinated populations experiencing epidemics that do not affect the unvaccinated. Even simple logic would dictate that if the vaccines really worked as claimed, the unvaccinated people would experience the epidemics. Also, the vaccinated would have no danger of infection from the unvaccinated, nor would they have any danger of infection from people who were currently sick from the disease of interest. But from the data I've seen, it would appear that these inductive conclusions are not valid.

On the subject of vaccines, I'd also like to introduce you to another article that is related to the vaccine issue. It is about AIDS/HIV. The 'Green Monkey" theory of the origin of AIDS/HIV appears to be as much of a fairy tale as the 19 hijackers theory of the 911/WTC/Pentagon attacks. The word from thinking people is that AIDS/HIV was man-made in origin, and that it was introduced to humans through the Hepatitis B Vaccination trials in San Francisco and New York City in America (circa 1979), and the WHO Smallpox Vaccination program in Africa (circa 1981).

The AIDS/HIV issue is highly relevant to the vaccination issue because it demonstrates that vaccines can be utilized as a method to inoculate large groups of people in an unsuspecting manner. This is even more sinister when you realize that the government and medical establishment control the dissemination of information by the mass media. In this manner, these powerful groups can be used to squelch dissent and those who question their methods. This has already been the case with AIDS/HIV. We need to wake up and begin to tenaciously question the authorities about these issues so that we do not have any more incidents like this in the future.

'Treatment' Passing as 'Medical Care'

I came across a great article that describes what I have come to understand about the Health Care Industry here in America. The bottom line is that they have been inventing diseases and lowering the numbers that determine when someone is at risk for disease. Unfortunately, the medical care professionals in this country are paid more when people become sick, and they make no money when people are well. This provides a powerful incentive for health care professionals to treat diseases and to increase the disease rate.

Whether this is done consciously, subconsciously, or ignorantly, the result is the same for the patient--a round of pharmaceutical drugs and/or expensive (and often painful and dangerous) high-tech treatments. Most of these 'treatments' usually lead the patient down the pharmaceutical and treatment downward spiral. The patient's health usually continues on a gradual downward spiral that eventually culminates with a painful death.

The simple lesson to be learned is that YOU are the person who cares the most about your own health. Others simply cannot be trusted unless they can demonstrate to you that they are open-minded enough to seek alternatives to pharmaceutical or allopathic approaches to disease abatement. Your very life could be at stake. I would recommend that you begin to study health, disease, and alternative treatment methods. I'm not saying that all alternative treatment methods fail to work, but I am saying that the allopathic (M.D.) paradigm is not well suited for all diseases. Allopathic philosophy is excellent for emergency and trauma medicine, but is totally crappy for systemic diseases, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer treatment.

Even if you don't do any research on your own, at least become a knowledgable patient. Remember--NOBODY is going to feel as strongly about the quality of your health as you do! Nor is anyone going to be more affected by any health care treatments that you decide to undergo than you. It's up to YOU to insure that you are receiving the best treatment that you can get. The doctor and/or hospital can always get another patient, but you can't get another life!

P.S.: Be sure to check out the links in the article because they will lead you to a lot more in-depth information on some of the concepts that I've presented in this article.

Some Information on Suppressed Economics

I'm going to share some articles that deal with macroeconomics and how it interfaces with precious metals/hard assets and the larger investment markets. I won't write my own dissertation, but I will share a bit of commentary and offer some excellent articles that I've found (as usual). I haven't done my normal reading and research on the investment and precious metals lately, but something brought me back to these topics because they are critical if you want to have an understanding of what is really going on in the investment and financial arenas. I found the articles on the Gold Eagle articles web site. It's a site that's mostly for serious investors and academics interested in a different take on the financial world from what is offered on CNBC and other mainstream sources. They usually add articles/editorials from prominent people in the investment and financial arenas, so you may want to bookmark the above link and visit it regularly. You'll catch on to some of the technical jargon if you just look up the words that you don't understand. If you need an explanation, leave me a message or write the author.

Well, the first article is entitled Toilet Paper is Worth More Than USD's. I loved that title, even though it isn't good news for Americans. The basic premise is one that I've been trumpeting for a while. The US Dollar (USD) is being systematically destroyed by the US government. Policies that have been implemented by presidents and governments since LBJ (or even earlier) have all engineered these events. Public policy was implemented that strongly rewarded companies that utilized debt financing in relation to companies that used equity financing for capital investment. It used to be that corporations would use what was termed retained earnings to finance capital expenditures. The term retained earnings is just an MBA way to say savings from profits. But the bankers found that they couldn't earn interest on that, so they had the government agents change the laws to make it extremely unprofitable for corporations/companies to use the savings from operations. Now, virtually all corporations are indebted to (if not actually owned de facto by) the banks. This puts all corporations under the control of the bankers since the creditor is superior in authority to the debtor.

The article in question is brief, but the author gives out a lot of pertinent information on the USD, precious metals, and some of the dynamics of world finance and economics. He doesn't get too deep with the technical language of finance, but imparts the necessary information for laypeople on these issues. I don't claim that you will have a total understanding of finance from the article, but you will have a better understanding of it. Remember that the specialists in topics get paid by confusing laypeople so that they believe that they can't understand the concepts. But economics and finance are issues that ALL people should understand because these are the things that will affect every area of the lives of everyone, whether or not they are active in the financial markets.

The next article speaks more on topics regarding our understanding of the coming credit collapse and the study of monetary issues. We must understand that paper money (a misnomer/oxymoron) is relatively new on the scene in reference to the things that have been used as financial media (i.e., money). As much as I support the gold standard, it probably would not work (in its pure form) due to issues addressed in this article. But this article does give a lot of information that will greatly assist you in your understanding of monetary issues. It is longer than the first article, but I think that you will find it invaluable in increasing your financial intelligence. The author (a professor of science and applied mathematics) also gives an excellent explanation of how the use and function of bonds has been altered so that bonds are now financial instruments that are being used to steal from producers AND savers. This is a very interesting development that turns most mainstream financial theory on its head. I'll leave the rest of the article for you to discover at your leisure.

I'll go over the last 2 articles together as they are both covering similar topics. I found this article to be very succinct and direct. It is a quick, short read. The author gives his honest opinion about the future of the dollar, and the facts all point to the conclusion that there is simply NO WAY that there will not be a significant devaluation of the USD. The fact of the matter is that the USD (as are all other paper currencies on the planet) are all debt instruments. Go retrieve one of those things you call a dollar or currency out of your pocket and read what it says on the very top. It says 'Federal Reserve Note'. I just went to dictionary.com, and it defines a note as: "a paper acknowledging a debt and promising payment." The other pertinent definition states: "a certificate, as of a government or a bank, accepted as money." Notice that neither definition stated that a note is an asset, nor did it actually say that it was money! All this note business notwithstanding, the budget deficits and the trade deficits are wreaking havoc with the US economy, and unfortunately, we are in the terminal stages of the decline and failure of the USD. Just make sure that you understand that those 'talking heads' that you know and love on the television are paid six- and seven-figure salaries to keep you from learning the facts that are being presented in this information that I'm sharing with you! So if/when you wonder or think, "The financial experts on television don't say these things", just know that they are paid not to give out this type of information, even if they know the truth of this material that I'm introducing to you. They'll NEVER level with you!

So read closely, and make sure that you read with an open mind. Don't think of the information as being scary or pessimistic. The part that would be sad is if you had no idea of what the future holds for the financial condition of America, and the world. Would you rather have your head continue to be filled with lies, misconceptions and other drivel? There is power in the truth. The only way that you can prepare for the future is to have an accurate, complete understanding of things. The truth is liberating because it enables you to make effective plans for the future. If you don't know what's really going on in the world, how could you ever make any plans that work? Remember, your family, children and friends (and their future) are depending on you...

The Media Social Engineering Apparatus

It would appear that I'm not the only one out here who has done some research and analysis on the current condition of the media and those who utilize it for social engineering purposes. I found an excellent article that discusses this topic in a very coherent, thoughtful, honest manner. The author actually covers how the alleged 'right wing' media movement uses fallacious logic, innuendo, faulty assumptions, condescending treatment of opponents, and other logical and tactical shortcomings. Even though this information is good and true, the most important element in the article is the part that discusses the incessant push and efforts of those who control the mass media to manipulate and control the population.

This control of the population appears to be the ultimate goal of the 'powers-that-be'. They have been working at it incessantly, and it would appear that they have succeeded beyond their wildest imagination. I guess that you could call this the 'Nanny Society' because the majority of people do not question the ubiquity of government intervention in their lives. In short, we have been conditioned to uncritically accept 'government as parent' for us all, regardless of age. It can go without saying that we have been conditioned to think this way, because it wasn't always like this. People used to be much more independent in their lives. In addition to that, the population has been dumbed down so much that it is probably necessary that most of them have some sort of 'adult supervision' of their behavior. Many people have been stunted in their intellectual and spiritual development to the point where they are dangerous to others, as well as to themselves. This is no accident. It could be said that this would actually play into the hands of tyrants and their government vassals because it could be argued that 'government nannies' are necessary. But it would appear to me that it is in their interest to magnify and stimulate massive dysfunctionality in the population, thereby ensuring that a steady (or even growing) supply of 'government nannies' would be necessary. And from my observations and life experience, government power seems to always expand. I can't remember ever hearing any government bureaucrat attempt to reduce his power, influence, budget, or personnel. They are always working to expand their power, influence, budget and personnel.

What is even more alarming is the removal of true education from schooling. We are beginning to witness the results on society of removing critical thinking and reasoning skills from the education of our children. Now, shallow euphemisms and meaningless platitudes pass for intelligent reasoning and critical analysis. Most people today parrot whatever they hear on television and think that they are well-informed on current events. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is a dire situation because we are rapidly approaching the point where society will not be able to be sustained with any type of continuity. The backbone of America has been destroyed, and that is the moral content of the country. Once this has been destroyed, the rest of the decline of this country is already a fait accompli, except for the actual announcement of the event. I'm not sure if it would ever be announced though. It will merely result in a permanently reduced standard of living for Americans, as has been orchestrated in every other country around the world. The entire world has now been converted into a feudal slave camp.

Another testament to the ineffectiveness of the voting process and/or the wishes of the people allegedly 'represented' by the government is the fact that Bush has announced that he is escalating the troop levels in Iraq despite the fact that: 1) the people of America do not want more war in Iraq, and actually want US troop out of there; and 2) the results of the latest election in which the Republicans lost a multitude of seats in Congress due to their displeasure with Bush, demonstrates that the government does not represent the People. The worst part of the situation is that people will continue to support this political process even though the sentiments of the People do not have any influence on US policy, domestic or foreign. But as long as people continue to follow along like lemmings, nothing will change.

The first step towards changing this is for you to wake up and get a grip on reality. Question everything and use your mind for critical analysis.

The second step is for you to find like-minded people and network with them. Let's face it--if someone is hopelessly enslaved to the media misinformation, they will have to come to their own realization of that fact. The old adage comes to mind: "A person convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." In short, you can't force people to wake up if they don't want to come out of their somnambulism...

More information coming....

Why would our leaders sell us out?

I'm sure that many people who are 'normal' find it extremely hard to believe that 'our government would never turn on its own people'. The simple truth of the matter is that not only would they 'turn' on us, but that they aren't even 'our' government! This simple fact explains a lot of the observations that we make in regards to this country and its operation.

First of all, anyone who has any experience with the court system can readily tell you that it's NOT 'our' court system! Just try to figure out what happens when you get into court, especially traffic court. It's the equivalent of a kangaroo court, a sham that's made to appear fair. But in reality, it's only there to separate you from your Federal Reserve Notes. You would know that 'innocent before proven guilty' is something that you only see them talk about on Law and Order, but that it's only some propaganda designed to keep you complacent. And don't bother asking them to actually explain to you how they're operating and what jurisdiction they're working from. All you'll get is a lot of nothing...

Take a look at how 'our' elected officials behave. Now I know that nobody's perfect, but how in the hell can we look at the difference between the country in 1950 and the condition in which we find ourselves and not be totally pissed? Before, we were the world leader in most categories: manufacturing, per capita income, biggest creditor nation, a powerful, GROWING economy with little inflation, wholesome food and entertainment, etc. But today, we have lost the vast majority of our manufacturing base, per capita income shrinking (in real terms, not the government propaganda that passes for statistics), biggest debtor nation, weak, diminishing economy, declining quality of food (witness junk food), etc. We used to have some sense of morals, but today, there is no sense of morals and anything goes. We are seeing the decimation of industries in which we used to have no competition.

The earnings of most people (especially working class people) are being rapidly reduced, if not eradicated through the export of jobs to places that pay slave wages. But the even worse part of that situation is that OUR wages are being reduced to slave wages as well. If you can extrapolate to the end of this ride, it would appear that the plan is to reduce the wages of EVERYBODY to slave labor wages. Unfortunately, the majority of the people in America have been dumbed down in order to make it possible to perform this controlled destruction of this country. I just saw an article that demonstrates that the average American watches almost 5 hours of television (aka. idiot box) every day. Wonder how or why the alleged leaders of this country can get away with just about anything?

Think about the level of mind of the majority of television programming. I'd have to say that most of it is around a 5th grade maturity level. Most people get headaches and have tantrums if you dare to attempt to even suggest that they make any meaningful use of their minds. And this includes many people with graduate degrees! I must say that this is definitely a demonstration of the principle that actions have consequences. The less thinking you do (this goes for entire nations as well), the less thinking that you can do. If you don't use it, you lose it. Most people in America have been acculturated to avoid thinking and reasoning. It's just so much easier to follow the crowd and accept the facts given to you by the experts on TV.

With all that said, as I've said before, this is not happening by accident. The faction that controls the country have specifically engineered the results that we are observing. It is not a coincidence. The leaders behind the scenes have spent billions on developing a system for manipulating and controlling the perception of the people. It is an integrated plan that has been in operation for at least 50-60 years, and is now to the point where it is a precise science.

Most Americans have been inundated with propaganda and garbage that they still view America as basically the same country that it was in the 1970's. This is not fact because as we discussed above, many things have changed in this country, and not much has changed for the better. Even though the perception is flawed, it is difficult to express these facts to the victims because they are complacent, lazy, and full of inertia that keeps them from questioning things. Critical thinking and analysis appears to have gone the way of the Dodo bird. I think that some of the things I've been saying here provide a great prelude to an article that I found that encapsulates most of the concepts that I've put forth right here. I don't like the direction in which this country is being guided. I believe that I've seen polls that show that most people in America feel the same way. Most people feel powerless to change things, mainly because they are victims of mental programming, disseminated mainly through the television, but is also passed by most of the major institutions in society. It is an integrated plan that works synergistically. The whole is a lot more powerful than the parts.

I've just delineated some of the problem to you. Now, in the interests of fairness and relevancy, I will discuss some of the solutions. First, you need to start watching less television. I'm not saying that you should go 'cold turkey', but it probably wouldn't hurt you if you did. Addictions are not easy to break, but it can be done. I have members of my own family that lose their tempers if you try to turn off the television, so I know that it can be tough.

If you can't handle turning off that idiot box, then at least exercise some thought effort when you watch. Don't just accept the presumptions and conclusions that are being induced and given to you. Question things, do your own research, and try to see things with a 'big picture' perspective. Get the other side of the story whenever you can. One of the most powerful elements in social conditioning is the way that television is used to set conceptual boundaries for thought. Don't underestimate the power of this. It is analogous to the shepard putting the fence around the sheep. If you can control where the sheep go, you can exercise total control over them. The same thing is done to humans in society. Very few people dare to hop over their given fences. Just because we've done something for years does not mean that it's the best way to do it. Try to think in new ways. Be open to new possibilities and perspectives on things. Stagnant water gets putrid and septic. You don't want a putrid, septic mind!

Also, you might want to get more active. Voting is ok, but is highly overrated as a way to change the political and social dynamics. Voting is NOT activism! Nobody ever voted his way to freedom! Learn about law, business, anything that can have some sort of social impact. Question authority. Who are these people who purport to represent 'the People', and from where do they get their alleged authority to impinge upon your freedom, especially when you haven't harmed another person with your actions? Spread the word about freedom and questions that you may have that aren't being adequately answered by the 'talking heads' and other media sources. Don't just 'go along to get along', because that is what has brought this country to this critical point in history.

Those were just a few suggestions. Also, be sure to spread the word, and find like-minded people to keep you upbeat and in the realm of 'possibility thinking'. We can improve things, but we can't do it alone. It's going to require people to work together while also maintaining their independence of thought and action. We don't have to agree on everything, but we can agree to work towards the freedom of everybody because if we don't, we'll all end up victims of those who value their own wealth and power accumulation more than they value us and our freedom. I hope that you can see that the present state of affairs in this country is unsustainable. Something's going to have to give. Don't let it be your freedom and the freedom of your offspring.

Dire Economic Calamity in Store for America?

I found more excellent articles that speak on the US economy. Most, if not all, of the news is bad, unfortunately. It's just a symptom of the economic policies that have been implemented by the US government. It is not the result of idiots or unqualified people because they aren't allowed to run things anywhere, unless they are placed there for a reason. Ignorance and lack of intelligence is not a prescription for success or influence.

The first article speaks on the conversion of the People of the United States from free to being debt slaves. The author speaks on the radical change that has gradually been implemented since the late 1960's. The bottom line is that credit cards and other types of debt instruments that used to be used sparsely have now become an endemic here. Just about all adults have some sort of debt. This means that the banking system has all of these people financial information at their disposal, which is also freely shared between businesses, thanks to the credit-reporting agencies and their ubiquitous presence. Even young students in college and even high school (!) are enticed to go into debt in just the same way that the experienced dope dealer tries to entice youngsters to try hard drugs so that they can make money on you for a long time. In addition, the banking system works hand-in-hand with the government so that they can both extract as much wealth from the people as possible. I know that I've covered that topic in depth in earlier writings. The bottom line is that this 'country' is operated as a for-profit corporation. We all should know (if we don't) that corporations have no morals, no code of ethics and no conscience. Its only purpose is to generate profits for the shareholder/owners, concepts of right and wrong be damned. This article is excellent, and is a short read.

The next article goes into depth about the insolvency of the United States. The bottom line is that the US is generating exponentially-increasing debt AND the trade deficit, while the income, manufacturing and assets of the country are shrinking. This sounds like a gourmet recipe for financial and economic disaster. But remember, the disaster is planned to hit the people because your fearless leaders understand exactly what they are doing and the results of it. Your fearless leaders have their contingency plans already mapped out, and they will not be affected as profoundly as the average person who is the victim of government-sponsored propaganda that is designed to keep you fat, ignorant and blissful in a babbling state of stupor. Just like the sheep that doesn't realize that it's about to be sheared and killed until it is much too late to stop it, the US citizen is being fattened up for the kill. All the hoopla about 5th grade-level television shows and other trivialities are engineered to be junk-food for the mind. The people are being entertained while the US burns.

Are you going to voluntarily walk to the slaughter, or are you going to work to save yourself, your family and/or friends from the clutches of disaster? It doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics to figure out that we're being duped, and that the present state of affairs is not sustainable. The country that we used to love and cherish has been put in a coma, waiting for the People to awaken and reclaim their country back from the swarms of foreign agents (also known as the government) that infest the land. Yes, freedom requires courage and intelligence, but it is so highly regarded as a prize that any struggle to attain and keep it is worth it. The alternative is a life of bondage, degradation, exploitation, victimization, and most other negative things that you probably don't want to experience. Remember the fable about the ant and the grasshopper? Connect the dots. You can do it.

Cheer Up and Remember What's Really Important

I know that a lot of the material that I reference and write on this site could be construed to be depressing "gloom-and-doom" ranting. I guess that it is somewhat cathartic to me to write on these neglected topics. It really infuriates me to see so many lies and misconceptions flying unbridled over the airways. From what I've learned over the years of my studies, it would appear that we (the good guys) win in the end. But the tough part is making it to the end. It helps to keep a good, bird's-eye perspective on things. That helps to keep you grounded, and also to keep you from self-pity, depression, and other signals of overwhelm.

With that in mind, I offer this article that speaks on the New World Order, but the author also offers some positive messages and concepts that I feel would help you to maintain your perspective on things. If the world is going to end, we mine as well party hardy, because things like this are out of our personal control. Eat, drink and be merry!

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.

Admission that Iraq 'War' Was a Big Mistake

Once again, me and other people who have been saying the things I've been saying about Iraq have turned out to be true, according to the Iraq Study Group. The whole thing was based on lies, and now the alleged 'war' (since there was never a true Declaration of War given by Congress) is a total failure and basically represents a 'tar baby' from which the US cannot extricate itself. Left holding the bag is GW Bush and his obtuse cabinet, as well as all the people who blindly and ignorantly followed the lead of this administration and the 'wag-the-dog' mass media news/infotainment outlets and 'right wing' talk show host sellouts.

So let me get this right... We were rushed off into an ill-advised, no-win military action based on total lies, and now all the people who had deep, probing, intelligent questions and doubts about this action, the same people who were labeled soft, supporters of terrorism, unpatriotic, etc. are now shown to have been 100% correct. No WMD found, no Iraqis waiting in the streets to greet US soldiers, no democracy for Iraq (even if it is known that all known democracies in history have led directly to fascism and totalitarianism--remember, the NAZIS were social democrats!), death and destruction for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of maimed and killed US soldiers are the only 'benefits' that we got for spending all of those billions of dollars on this war. And this is not even to mention that this entire 'terrorist' thingie was put into effect and was used to justify the mad curtailment of the Constitutional protections that we've experienced through such treasonous documents such as the PATRIOT Act and the creation of the Homeland Security gestapo/Waffen SS.

I'm not going to go as low as I can go and use the 'I/We told you so...' thingie, but after a while, it would appear that people would wake the hell up and stop believing high-paid liars, cheats, thugs and murderers in government! How many more useless wars for profit must we endure before people stop cosigning on this crap! Are people ever going to wake up from their media-induced stupors, or are we all just consigned to eternal fealty to elitists, globalists, New World Order sycophants and other popish persons? Do people ever learn, or is this just the normal state of affairs on this water planet?

The Great Thanksgiving Hoax

I found an article that describes the truth behind the legend of Thanksgiving Day. It seems that we have been conditioned to believe that it was one way, but now, you can get the real story. No complex dissertations or information that will have your brain twisting up like a pretzel (this time)... I just thought it was an interesting article with some good information. I think that today's society needs to incorporate the moral of this story into everyday life and governance.

Another Rigged Election

Well, there were some changes of faces in the Congress and in some local elections, but I'm just wondering about how substantive these alleged 'changes' have been. Consider the fact that Democrats and Republicans have essentially hijacked the entire political apparatus here in the United States. Virtually all of the candidates are members of these two parties. Did you ever hear of the strategy called 'Good Cop-Bad Cop'?

For those of you who aren't familiar with this, it works like this. The cops catch the suspect and arrest him (usually in isolation away from anybody who might be able to assist him in defending his rights, i.e., a lawyer/advocate/counselor), and then they bring him in for questioning. One cop (the Bad Cop) acts like a steroid-crazed, psychotic, violent, never-saw-a-rule-I-wouldn't-break Dirty Harry who is just itching to inflict some serious Guantanamo Bay questioning tactics on the suspect. After a few moments of outbursts and some slapping around, the other cop (the Good Cop) rushes to restrain the Bad Cop and whisk him away to another room. Then the Good Cop comes back and tells the suspect that he doesn't support the actions of the Bad Cop, and he then goes on to implore the suspect to come clean so that he doesn't have to let the Bad Cop come back to conduct some more of the 'interrogation'. Out of sheer fear, the suspect usually confesses or tells the Good Cop whatever he wants to know. Unbeknownst to the suspect, the Good Cop and Bad Cop are actually on the same team, and the Bad Cop is just acting in concert with the Good Cop to break down the suspect's resistance to the interrogation.

The point is that the Republicans and Democrats work together to control this country! Don't be fooled into believing that the Democrats and Republicans are anything other than partners-in-crime who are working together in lockstep. The alleged party conflict and competition between them are nothing more than fairy tales, urban legend, trumped-up puffery, a folktale embedded in our propaganda-conditioned minds so that we will accept their absolute control of the political process without question. Think about it. What other party has had any substantial control over anything in this country besides these two political parties? So when you think about the deteriorating conditions that we have faced in this country, consider the fact that these two parties have had total control of the entire political and governmental apparatus for the last 100 years.

The old saying is that in politics, nothing happens by accident, and that if you observe an occurrence in politics, you can readily discern that it was planned to happen that way. I guess that all I'm trying to say is that if there is no real choice in elections, what is the value of voting? This question indicates that regardless of the rigged electronic voting machines, gerrymandering, inaccurate vote-counting, manipulated vote counts, discrepancies of voting results with exit polls, etc., how can the voting process be held to be honest and fair if virtually all of the candidates are preselected by the 'powers-that-be'? It would seem that the power of the vote is held by those who can determine what the choices are before there is even a vote to be considered. If the mob ran the only 2 candidates for a vacant position, could the result be characterized as anything other than a fixed election? This isn't astrophysics.

I found an article that goes into some depth about this very subject. Sometimes, I have a difficult time putting all my thoughts in discussions about voting, probably due to emotion. Voting is a very emotional subject with most people. It is most people's only direct involvement in the political process, even though the system cannot operate with integrity if people don't get more involved in the political process. Voting is just a small portion of the political system, and the only people that can police and monitor the government is 'We the People'. The corruption that we see embedded in government is a direct result of the minuscule levels of participation in the process by the People. When the dog's away, the cat will play, and when the people abdicate their responsibility and delegate their power to 'elected' officials, mass corruption is the highly predictable result. I'm not sure if there is any better system of government in existence on the planet, but just because one flawed system is 'the best' doesn't mean that there isn't any room for improvement. I remember a saying that tells that the room for improvement is the biggest room of all.

The situation seems to be that only the rich are truly represented by government since the election process selects for only those who have access to vast amounts of money. The greatest sources of money in this society is the Corporation. This is why we have so many corporate backers of election candidates. They finance them, and the golden rule is that 'he who has the gold makes the rules', meaning that the richest of the rich usually maintain (and work to expand) their power. The preceding article may seem to be incredible, but I can't think of any organization (or any group of organizations) that can even slightly approximate the wealth, power and knowledge of the Vatican. In my experience, truth is stranger than fiction, which is why most never come close to understanding the truth. We've been socialized to believe anything other than the truth. This is why words and policies never explain or justify the conditions in society that we observe.

Just some of my observations. Feel free to chime in with your own take on this situation. I implore you to do your own research. I don't put anything out there as fact, but only as information taken from a different perspective from the one you are being spoon fed from your favorite mass media sources.

Radiation Treatment?

Just as I suspected, there is scientific evidence that radiation (of all forms) causes massive bone loss, even in small doses. I think that this is terrible, especially considering that radiation is one of the AMA-approved treatment modalities for cancer. I don't agree with this, as it just doesn't make sense to me that poisoning of the body is alleged to be a method to improve the health. If the procedure would make a healthy person sick, how in the world can this same 'treatment' be used to make a sick person healthy? If anybody has a logical explanation that can justify such fantasy, please impart this wisdom to me as soon as possible. But common sense (and a background in science) both tell me that this 'theory' is fallacious, at best.

It would make more sense to me to strengthen the immune system, detoxify the body, and work to improve the knowledge and understanding of the patient. The patient has to recognize that she has to take the initiative to become knowledgeable about their ailment. They also have to have faith in knowing that the cure is out there, and that all they have to do is exercise enough energy and interest to find it. If you need any help with something, drop me a note and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Are You an "Unlawful Enemy Combatant"?

Once again, those people we call 'the government' are at it again. It seems that we are destined to create (or allow to be created) the most sinister, evil, repressive, technologically-advanced totalitarian state ever known on this planet. They have passed an act called the Military Commissions Act of 2006, but it appears to be a thinly veiled push for more totalitarian/police state powers to be wielded by alleged government against anyone who dares to question anything that these public officials do.

As we know, these alleged public officials feel that they are above the law, above reproach, and above the scrutiny of anyone, especially anyone who doesn't believe the official story on any topic. These topics would include (but are not limited to): the WTC-911 attacks, the War on Terror/Iraq/Afghanistan, graft and corruption at the highest levels in government and business, the PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security, legalized torture, the decimation of the Constitution, etc. Don't worry about your 'rights', since the only rights you are deemed to have are the ones that GW Bush and the Government decides that you have! Don't worry, as if you're innocent, you won't have anything to worry about. Just shut up and believe whatever they tell you, since they are the people with the power, and are obviously qualified to know who's naughty and who's nice. Constitutions, oaths of office, freedom of speech, and other antiquated concepts be damned into oblivion. Don't worry, as GW has your back...

Of course, me, along with a lot of other people who feel a need for critical thinking and truth, will probably be the target of the latest legislation. Now, bloggers like me are being equated with terrorists. I guess that they may have a point because freethinkers with ideas that aren't 'mainstream' often lead people to understand what is really happening in the world, and in the country. They've always said that the pen is mightier than the sword. Boy, I didn't know that my words could be that powerful, as to convert my typing into weapons more powerful than hijacked jets, thermonuclear warheads, depleted uranium, cluster bombs, death rays, and whatever other barbarous 'weapons of mass destruction' that you might be able to imagine! I really feel powerful now!

Of course, the idea that me and people like me are terrorists is not even worthy of intellectual consideration. I love freedom and independence. It just seems that we're running mighty low on both of these in this alleged 'modern era'. It appears to me that the fascism and totalitarianism remain the same, but the tactics and implementation just get updated and perpetrated with new methods. Bush, Caesar, Napoleon, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Robespierre, Machiavelli, "insert your favorite dictator/mass murder here" all seem to have the same goal--unbridled control and power. "Vilify the people who disagree with you" seems to be the strategy here. It also seems to be true that when they do this, the majority of people will just 'go along to get along'. But one day, the totalitarian state will come to your front door. What will you do then? You will either fight now to stop this madness, or you will be enslaved along with the rest of the people. Don't worry about me because it's looking like people like me won't be around to continue to spit out information and observations that aren't in step with government-approved propaganda and lies. They even have academia (who should know better) to back them up and join in with the witch hunt. So don't wonder how the German people allowed tyranny, totalitarianism, fascism, etc., to thrive as they watched it happen before their eyes because all you have to do is watch what happens here in Amerikkka, comrade. I guess that everyone will get their just desserts...

More Signs of the Times

You just know that I found some more articles that are demonstrative of the times in which we find ourselves. The first article deals with the way that many of us cower in fear and servitude to our governmental nobles. It just seems that the majority of people in this country will support the government and its officials, no matter how much they transgress upon our rights or their oaths of office in which they swear and affirm that they won't impinge upon. Even when others from abroad have the guts to call out our treasonous, duplicitious, corrupt officials, we have the audacity to attack the bearer of truth instead of the malfeasant officeholder! It is probably the result of government brainwashing through the public 'school' system and the propaganda that is incessantly spouted from the major media outlets. But the final denouement will not spare anyone from its wrath. Actions have consequences, and truth exists outside of our perception. Just because you choose to perceive something other than truth doesn't mean that it doesn't exist! If you don't perceive the truth, it may come back to bite you, as it usually does. Remember, the people that are selling this country down the river aren't going to stick around to deal with the crumbled, broke, failure of a country that will be left. YOU will be the fall-guy for their treasonous antics!

The next article that I will speak on covers the election and how it isn't what we've been led to think. The democrats and republicans together have taken total control of the political process in the United States. They have basically shut off the political process for any other rival party that may pose a threat to their power and control. I remember when they arrested 2 presidential candidates from even entering the venue where they were having the so-called Presidential Debate! Mind you, these men were on the presidential ballots in all 50 states!!! The article also discusses a lot of other issues that are very pertinent to people that want to hear about topics that aren't regularly covered in the controlled mass media. The bottom line is that voting for 'the lesser of two evils' still yields an evil result! We have an illegal, unfounded war of imperialism, fiscal and monetary insanity, private interests that run the country, erosion of constitutional protections, the sanction of torture, etc. The time to vote for non-incumbents is upon us.

The next article speaks on the police state experiment going on in Great Britain. It's basically the prototype for how the police state is to be orchestrated all over the world, from all appearances. The sad fact of the situation is that virtually none of the citizens are even fighting against this totalitarian government action. It amounts to government intruding upon the everyday lives of the people; the enactment of the so-called 'Nanny State', since they believe that they can monitor us 24-7.

The last article speaks on Dialectical Philosophy, and how it is used by the oligarchs to control the masses. Not one man in a 100 million understands this process. It is very sinister, but virtually undetectible by most indoctrinated people of this planet. It is a very sad state of affairs, but the results of the use of this tactic can not be denied. The common people are virtual putty in the hands of these control freaks who decide how society shall exist. It is scary, but necessary information for those who want to understand the world in which we live, and how it really works. Not the lies and garbage that we are fed in school or on television. Study it well.

Rigged Elections Revisited

I've found another article that expounds on the proven fact that (at the bare minimum) the last 2 presidential elections were rigged. Of course, you realize that this information has been hidden and/or not covered in any major American media outlets. It is the duty of all people to learn about this state of affairs in this country because the integrity, and even the very survival of the United States could depend on this knowledge being widely disseminated.

Most people don't want to confront issues like this because they go straight to the very core of people's belief systems. The ramifications of the truth of rigged elections would pull away the facade of democracy, republic, freedom, fairness, honesty, fair play, "government of the people, for the people, and by the people". Most people cling to the ideas of freedom and honesty, even in the face of powerful evidence that shows that American government is 100% corrupt, especially at the national level.

This type of information makes the average person feel as if they have lived their entire life based on a lie. Even though it is probably true that the average person has lived their life based on lies, propaganda and gross misconceptions, they are more comfortable with the lies because they are familiar, and do not require any new or different action(s) to be taken, or new risks to be taken. The most unfortunate part of this specious logic is that society will have to face the results of this corruption.

It appears to be the 'easy way out' by going along with the lies and propaganda, but we still suffer from the effects of the corruption. Witness the continuing destruction of America on all levels. The country continues to plunge to new depths of depravity, poverty, erosion, predatory practices in business, parasitism, oppression of all forms, etc. Just 30 years ago, America was a leader in all facets of business and manufacturing. This is no longer the case, with the total hollowing-out of the substance of the US economy. We don't produce anything (besides debt) these days. Do you really think this is happening by chance??? Please don't be that naive.

The 'powers-that-be' are banking on you remaining naive, innocent and gullible as newborn babies. A lie or oligopoly based on fraud cannot stand the light of day. This is the reason that they try their best to dissuade people from doing any type of critical analysis of present-day events. Notice that their answers to pointed questions never address, muchless refute, the questions. They use every fallacious attack on sound questioning that they can muster to keep the people distracted and ensconed in the comfort of the familiar. But meanwhile, the country continues to crumble and slide down into the abyss.

Do yourself and your posterity a favor. Always ask questions, demand on-point, credible answers, and question alleged authority.

More NWO Stuff

I saw a great article that describes how the final preparations for Gulags for American people are being made. They will probably be used to silence dissidents, as is standard operating procedure for fascist governments. I'm not surprised about this. It would seem that all countries eventually decay and decline into murderous organizations. The descent to barbarism seems to be a perpetual state of affairs. But the most surprising thing is that people seem to continue to fall for the very same con jobs that have been used throughout the ages. It seems to stem from the governmental promise that they can protect and take care of everybody. They already have a fake term (i.e.: Fifth Columnist) to label dissidents with so that they can be summarily stripped of their rights and shipped off to the torture camp/extermination facility. Don't think that this can't happen here in America because it has already been done (cf. Japanese Americans being interned during WWII, genocidal extermination of Native Americans, chattel slavery, to name a few). We buy in to the nationalistic propaganda so that it colors our perception of reality to the point where we can't see what is really happening in the country or the world. It's time to wake up and become conscious of the state of affairs in the country.

This is another article in which a former Army guy tells what he knows about current affairs. Capt. May accurately describes what is happening here in America. He has a particularly relevant report dealing with one of his mentors who has seen the result of the current activities of government. He has experienced it before, and shares his insight with us to show us what is happening and where it is headed. This isn't rocket science, but it does require open-mindedness and intellectual honesty. You might have to remove your preconceived notions before you can face the truth. It might be tough to face the fact that our perception is being manipulated, and our information is strictly controlled to manufacture our opinions. Knowledge of objective truth is the only thing that will help you survive the coming calamities.

Fascism was deemed to be a misnomer by a dictator who should know what he's doing (i.e., Mussolini). He said that what most call fascism could more properly be termed Corporatism, because it is really the combination/conspiracy between the government and the corporation(s). If you can't see the connection, you probably could use some smelling salts. Government and corporations are making obscene amounts of money, to the point where you could properly characterize government as a revenue-generating enterprise. In fact, virtually ALL of the levels of government HAVE been incorporated! We have our highest public officials who have intimate ties with the corporations making the most money in the biggest industries in the country. It would be funny if it wasn't so deadly serious. But most of the people are in a state of cognitive dissonance, and can't bring themselves to face the sordid truth. It would mean that they might actually have to fight the tyrants, a very scary proposition for most people. It just seems to me that the agenda they tell us they have is 100% different from the agenda that they really have. All you have to do is take a critical look at the results. We can see America being taken to the slaughter. If you can't see it, you are a victim of mind control/social conditioning/social engineering, and you need to release yourself from the grips of those who seek to subjugate you and use you, your family and your labor for their own self-aggrandizement.

911 Revisited

That infamous day (also my birthday) was yesterday. It's also the anniversary of the 911/WTC/Pentagon attacks. From my perspective, it would appear that there is one 'conspiracy theory' that is well-distributed. And that 'conspiracy theory' would be the Official Account of what happened as portrayed by the US Government! There are numerous inconsistencies, impossibilities, improbabilities and fairy tales that are being used to 'support' this rendition of the events on that tragic day. The importance of this event is considerable because it is the justification for all of the unconstitutional actions and other things being done to damage the American people, and the people of the world.

The alleged 'War on Terror' is a direct result of this. How a war can be won against 'terror' is an exercise in futility. How can 'Terror' be defeated, considering that it is an abstract (non-tangible, not sentient) item??? The Department of Homeland Security (i.e., the new American Gestapo) is based on this event as well. The PATRIOT Act (obviously written in advance of the 911 attacks), which is an attempt to erode the Constitutional prohibitions and limits on government power, is also a direct result from 911. I can't understand how a government that was given its franchise and legitimacy BY the Constitution can now nullify it. In short, the Constitution is what ALL government officials (on all levels--State, County, Local, and Federal) must swear to uphold and defend (cf. Art. 6, Sections 2-3) before they can officially act as government officials. It is their oath and contract to protect us and the country. The 'Wars' in Iraq and Afghanistan (not technically wars because there was no Declaration of War given, as constitutionally mandated, by Congress) are a direct result of 911 as well. I don't even have to mention the incessant barrage of threats, reports, and claims by government officials of 'the terrorists' lurking behind every bush, tree, dark alley, just waiting to get us. Mind you, no terrorist has been found or convicted of doing anything.

On that note, I have found a few articles that provide critical information in reference to 911. Information that you won't find on CNN or Fox News. What they call 'news' could more properly be called 'propaganda', considering the extremely slanted and biased information that they provide. A great article that investigates the evidence and the stories being disseminated in the press is at this link. A simple, logical, level-headed approach to all the information out there seems to indicate to me that there is NO WAY that OBL or Saddam Hussein had anything to do with the 911 attacks.

One extremely glaring item shows me that 911 had to be an inside job. If it was such a failing of the US Defense grid, WHY WASN'T ANYBODY REPRIMANDED, FIRED, CONVICTED OR PUNISHED FOR IT?????? Think about your job for a minute. I know that if I make a stupid mistake that merely causes a violation to occur, people get punished and/or reprimanded. If it's serious enough (mind you, doesn't even cause anybody to die), YOU GET FIRED! Now you mean to tell me that the people responsible for protecting the ENTIRE country TOTALLY FAIL in their duty, and NOBODY gets ANYTHING???? The inference is that they were all in on it and were following orders! Is there any other plausible explanation? Please contact me if you can find one anywhere in the realm of sanity. To this day, nobody has ever been punished for this. In fact, I think that people have actually been promoted after this incident.

I'm not sure what's going on with the 'Powers-that-be' but now the mainstream media is reporting on more 'conspiracy theory' material. Are they done with GW Bush and his nonsense? It would appear that they have to be in 'saving face' mode because even mainstream people are beginning to severely question the official explanation of the 911 event. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in Astrophysics to figure out that kerosene can't melt fortified steel. You may also want to check out this article that describes the present situation 5 years after the 911 event. It's good information to know. I don't agree with everything in the article, but still wanted to share it with you. Just go wherever the facts, truth and your deductive and inductive reasoning take you...

Your life is an open book...

...if you use any of the search engines. I just found an article that describes how Google and the other search engine companies catalog all of your web searches and then make the data available to anyone who can get the specialized software to determine who you are and what you searched for online. It is just another terrible fact of doing business-as-usual online. It's really not even doing business. It's amazing how much information they can accumulate on us without our knowledge. It would appear that the more we depend upon technology, the more that we are made victims from its use. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just another assault on our privacy rights.

The Hoax of Water Fluoridation

Another one of the misconceptions floating around is the concept of water fluoridation. It is a huge hoax that serves multiple purposes, none of which are for the good of the victims. We must first realize that fluoride is a part of the halogen family on the periodic table. It is related to the other halogens, namely chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. A characteristic of chemicals from the same period is that they are all very similar in their chemical and physical properties, since they all have the same outer electron shell. All of these elements are toxic. Chlorine, bromine and iodine are all known to be very toxic and reactive, hence their use as disinfectants and oxidizers. Fluorine is the most highly reactive element in this period because it has the smallest nucleus, which makes it the most electrophilic (electron hungry). So just from a cursory analysis of the freshman chemistry class, we can see that fluorine/fluoride is NOT a harmless chemical.

If we add on the fact that the fluoride being used for municipal water treatment is NOT simply sodium fluoride, but it actually a fluoride slurry of various waste products from the aluminum industry, we can see that we are being poisoned with toxic industrial chemicals in our drinking water. I could go on and on here, but there is a great article on this topic at this link. The other glaring logical error here is that even if the claims from the 'authorities' about fluoride being good for teeth (which is not true in any event), what sense does it make to mass medicate entire communities? From my understanding, it is the doctor who is supposed to determine the dosage of any prescription. Who has the right to medicate entire communities? There is NO WAY that a dosage can be controlled with mass medication from water supplies. In addition, if any food producer is using water from a fluoridated source, the fluoride will be in the food product, thereby overdosing those who happen to consume products from that company. Does this make any sense? What about if they were to place Prozac in the water supply? Or any other pharmaceutical or chemical substance? Can you see the fraud involved in the reasoning process and underlying assumptions in place that must provide any 'logical' support for this mass medication of the people? Other sites that cover some of this information are http://www.nofluoride.com/ , http://www.fluoridealert.org/ , http://www.fluoride-history.de/ . You should do your research and see where that takes you. I'm not even asking you to believe me. Just check it out and let me know what you find...

The "Unsinkable" Bush Administration is the Titanic

The Bush Administration is dangerous to the people of America, and also a menace to the peace and safety of the world. It's the same old story, with these people doing their dastardly deeds behind closed doors, and then the entire country gets blamed for the actions of the corrupt, blood-thirsty, profiteering leaders. Take the situation in the Middle East for a big example. It would appear that Bush was instrumental in convincing Israel to attack Lebanon. I'm not surprised at all at this revelation. It appears to be the modus operandi of this fascistic government. I recall a recommendation from one of the founders of this country that advises that we steer clear of foreign entanglements. That seems to have been thrown out of the door a long time ago.

As I've said before, wars aren't desired by average people. The governments and other alleged leaders are the ones who give the orders, and the average people are the ones who do the dying. This current presidential administration has harmed me and this country much more than Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, or any other contrived 'threat' to me and this country! I haven't seen Osama trying to destroy the Constitution in the way that Bush & Co. has. Saddam never had the means to build concentration camps for people in this country who won't go along with the lies spewed by the corporate-controlled, propaganda-spewing 'news' stations. Zarquawi never did anything to me, or threatened me or my family in the way that Bush and his government has.

For more idiotic travails, see this article. How much longer are we going to allow these 'public servants' to trample upon our backs like we are autistic sheep???
