This is Ring of Power-Part 3, and is in 2 parts. They bring up a lot of good ideas on various topics. I don't agree with everything in this video, but a lot of it is very good information that you'll never see covered in MSM reports. It's good to stay informed and to get information from alternative sources. It helps you to be free and less socially-conditioned...
These videos are each about 2.5 hours, so make sure you set aside time to view them. This is critical information that you need to know.

The Rich Get Richer While the "Little Guy" Gets the Bill
It is amazing to watch the controlled destruction of the American economy while most citizens just go about with their amusements. Although Detroit is obviously the most devastated large city in America, the news is now out that many of the other metropolitan areas of the country are now suffering the same fate. My contention has always been that Detroit was just hit by the first part of this destructive wave, but I knew that it was going to hit the rest of the country. It is just not possible for the heart of the manufacturing base to be destroyed and to maintain a healthy country. But this is what people were led to believe by the mainstream media. Such is the quality of thinking and reasoning of the masses.
And believe me, the mentioned cities in the report from Forbes at the link above are not the only cities being hit by this economic depression. We know that California is experiencing the biggest fiscal deficit of all the states, so it isn't a surprise that Los Angeles is having major problems as well.
The biggest surprise to me is the non stop march of money to the Military-Industrial Complex (as Eisenhower referred to it in his outgoing speech). This country spends TRILLIONS of dollars on guns, weapons and the 'War on Terrorism' like there is no other priority. Of course, this is to protect us from these legions of terrorists who are just lurking around, waiting to kill all of us.
So let me get this right: we spend more on weapons and defense than all other countries in the world COMBINED, but we can't stop terrorist attacks without spending even MORE money? And in spite of all these expenditures, we still had a terrorist attack (WTC-Pentagon). So now we are fighting 2 wars on the other side of the world to protect America? I wonder how we are protecting America by having the Army on the other side of the planet.
Ok, even if we leave that incredibly large expenditure out of the equation, we still have the banks and other financial interests who are getting large handouts from the government while paying ZERO taxes. So these guys have GREATLY profited from the NINJA loans and other financial shenanigans (like derivatives, high frequency trading, fraudulent financial reporting , etc.), and when they get busted for all of their misdeeds and assorted scurrilous behaviors , they get free government money with no strings attached! No jail time, but 'get-out-of-bankruptcy-free' passes and the biggest bonuses & profits in their history! I'm beginning to think that I went into the wrong occupation...
The bottom line is that we are paying for America to be destroyed, and we're paying top dollar for it, all while our real economy is being decimated. So the rich get richer, and the middle class gets the privilege of being reduced to peon status while receiving the bill for all of it. What a bargain.
We couldn't have destroyed America any better if we would have given the Communists, and any other enemy of the country free access to all of the control mechanisms of the country. If this wasn't the planned destruction of America, it is definitely the best imitation of a plan to destroy America. Unfortunately, by the time people wake up and see what has happened, it will be too late. If it isn't too late already, it is very close to that point.
The worst part of it is that most Americans are busy blaming other average citizens for their own demise while fighting over the crumbs that are left of the shrinking American Pie, the people who are actually doing this (i.e., high level government officials, corporations, lawmakers, lobbyists, globalists, etc.) are sauntering away with all of the money and power.
So what are we going to do about this?

The Financial Mess
I've seen 2 articles that summarize the major problems with the US economy. The garbage on mainstream news that passes for truth is merely propaganda to keep people complacent with the status quo.
If you do not learn the facts about the US economy, you may lose all of your savings. Even if the FDIC insurance gives you the nominal value of your bank deposits in the case of a financial catastrophe (which is doubtful since the FDIC only has approximately 3-5% of total bank deposits in their possession), your deposits will be paid with money the government creates from inflation. This means that the value of your dollars will be reduced. In short, your spending power will diminish.
The first article is entitled US Policies Will Fail to Avert Hyperinflation. This is a great article that speaks about the major problems that make a financial recovery in America improbable. But it also outlines the steps that we can take to rebuild and repair the US economy. The road is not an easy one, but it will be easier to make the changes while we have a chance rather than having no other alternative.
The worst part of this situation is that instead of people facing the facts and acting responsibly, we continue to embrace delusions, lies and false promises. This is not good, and the worst is yet to come, especially if changes are not made. The current financial policy virtually guarantees that financial destruction and economic hardship are in the future of the United States. Lies, deception and fraud are not a solid foundation for long-term economic prosperity. That's a self-evident fact.
The second article is entitled Financial Fraud on Wall Street. This is a short article that explains the fact that there is still massive fraud occurring on Wall Street. The bottom line is that if the banks were honest, they would acknowledge that they are all insolvent. Government collusion and connections keep this truth from being accepted. The banks can get bailouts and pretend to be solvent, and they can keep 'earning' their fat bonuses. But the massive bailouts are creating the financial environment that leads to economic calamity. Short term gain leading to long term pain.
Everybody in the financial community knows about all of this fraud and theft. The Justice Department, the SEC, the CFTC, and the rest of the regulatory agencies know what is going on. It's a mass collusion to maintain the current state of operations. From what I've seen, the plan is for the bankers to continue to earn massive amounts of money, and then when the system melts down, they then pass the bill to the people. But meanwhile, they will have taken their obscene profits and used them to purchase tangible assets. So when the US Dollar (and most other fiat currencies) collapses, they will be relatively unscathed, and will still have the ability to stay wealthy, while normal people will become the equivalent of 21st century serfs.
Remember: wealth is neither created or destroyed--it only changes hands. This will be one of the greatest shifts in wealth in history. Don't be an ambivalent dupe.

Consolidation of Banking
I've been talking about economics and what is happening with banking for a while now. The fact of the matter is that there is a great consolidation of banking that has been initiated with this 'banking crisis' that has been in effect lately. Although the mainstream press would have you believe that it is the result of stupid, mistaken, idiotic bankers who are making errors, this is not plausible.
Virtually all of the people who are in charge of banks, banking and government policies are highly credentialed (i.e., have Ph.D.'s and other college degrees from mostly Ivy League colleges). This effectively negates the assertion that these people do not know what they are doing. I say that not only do they know exactly what they are doing, but that they are succeeding at what they have already planned to do.
Let's look at this logically. The banks made massive amounts of money from lending all through the creation of the 'Subprime Banking Crisis' before it was a crisis. This was all made possible by their great efforts (that eventually succeeded) to get the Glass-Steagle act repealed. This law was passed after the Great Depression of 1929 to prevent banking organizations from performing standard banking operations and investment banking simultaneously to minimize 'moral hazards' (i.e., a euphemism for stealing, plunder, profiteering and other scandalous behaviors).
So the banks (along with their paid cronies in government) made obscene amounts of money from this. This is in addition to their realizing astronomical profits from derivatives trading, which is mostly done 'off-the-books' because there is no standardized, regulated market for derivatives. They are virtually all customized transactions, and are therefore not regulated, not public and are difficult to value. It's like basically being able to stack the proverbial Casino in your favor.
But the ugly realities of making bad loans and continually making excessive bets have led to major structural problems in banking. So when the 'cookie jar broke' and the banks were about to all go bankrupt, they pressured their friends in D.C. to help them out, and that's exactly what they did. We know it as the TARP program, which basically amounts to 'corporate welfare'. Instead of the many trillions of 'investments' being valued at their actual market value, the government bailouts allowed the banks to keep their face values so that the banks would not experience actual losses. They were allowed to maintain the facade of being solvent, although the truth is that they are all technically bankrupt.
So for all of this, the People of the United States were given the bill for all of this. The payment for this will be through layoffs, higher taxes, less services, the collapse of local and state governments, inflation and/or deflation that will greatly erode the wealth of average people, and possibly totalitarian fascist police state provisions to keep the masses from holding the government and corporate people responsible for these events responsible.
I know I've covered a lot of ground in these few paragraphs, but I didn't want to overwhelm you with a lot of technical jargon that may confuse you. But I have found a great article that goes into great depth about this situation. It is lengthy, but if you can absorb the content and meaning of this article, you will have a much better understanding of where the economy is, and what is really going on in the world. You can forget the crap that they're feeding you on MSNBC and similar financial 'news' outlets because that drivel is merely designed to keep the sheep calm while they are being fleeced. This is some of the most important information that you can get for yourself, your family and your country. It will affect every facet of your life, and the lives of the people you know.
You may think I'm crazy, but you owe it to yourself to step outside of the corporately-controlled media and do some thinking for yourself. Running multi-trillion dollar budget deficits just isn't sustainable on a long-term basis. It appears to me that those who control governments and economies are purposely running all of the world's economies into the ground so that they can institute this One-World Government and One-World Currency. The old saying is that 'nothing happens by accident in politics', and you can best believe that with trillions of dollars in the balance, there are forces working to control them and gain as much of that loot as they possibly can. Don't be naive. Face reality and deal with it, because it will definitely deal with you one day! It has a nasty habit of popping up at the most inopportune moments.

Swine Flu Antics and Other Nonsense
I always had a bad feeling about this alleged Swine Flu pandemic. The more I investigate it, the more ridiculous the premises appear to be that are related to this issue. It is a total media creation, as there is no real pandemic. In all probability, the vaccine may be a vector that will be used to initiate a pandemic.
It appears that the normal flu cases are being reported as being Swine Flu. From what I'm hearing about this, it also seems to be a product of recombinant DNA technology because bird viruses, human viruses and pig viruses do NOT naturally combine with each other! This is a dead giveaway that this virus was man-made. Don't think that this is fantasy because they have had this technology for at least 20 years. Check out the links in this article and the videos below. View & read with an open mind. Do your own research! Don't be a 'sheeple'...

Gary Null Speaks Out Against Forced Vaccination to NY State Officials
He says it better than I do, but my research, findings and opinions are very similar to his on this vaccination issue. Vaccination is more dogma than science. When you take a vaccine, you are not only accepting dangerous adjuvants (such as formaldehyde, thimerosal/mercury, squalene, etc.) into your body. You are also being exposed to genetically-manufactured cellular elements and substances, and possibly a myriad of animal viral contaminants, and nobody knows what else could be in them. It's really playing Russian roulette with your health. One of the scariest things about vaccines is that they may be a causal element in the increased incidence of autoimmune diseases, psychological disorders, neurological diseases and disorders, and chronic diseases that we see in society today. You really owe it to yourself and your children to do some research into this topic.

The Educational System-Covert Mind Control?
I have studied the educational system in America for a long time. I guess that thinking like a scientist has made me more aware and analytical about the institutions in America. From my days as a kid reading Gunnar Myrdal's great treatise on the sociology of America to what I study today, I have always been interested in the way that society works. I also learned a lot from a researcher named Samuel Bowles, even though he was a communist. I know that truth can be found anywhere, and that everybody has some of it.
All that to say that education in America is controlled, as all institutions in society are. The controllers are doing it with an agenda. Unfortunately, the agenda is hidden from most. This means that if you are not an insider, you must infer or deduce what that agenda is. We can tell what the plan is by what the plan is producing. Education is critical in society because it is the way that the youth in society are molded. They are the future of society, and the way in which they are conditioned to think determines just about every major element of how society will work in the future. If you can control what the young think, you can program the way that the society will function when they reach adulthood.
Charlotte Iserbyt, author of the monumental book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, has a video that explains how she was trained to infiltrate the community and get them to accept the changes that were being made to the educational system. It is really sinister and subtle the way in which she worked. Notice how subtle, but powerful, her training was to achieve this. This information is chilling when you think of the level of control of the people who run this system. It seems to be a cakewalk for these people to manipulate and control the thinking of adults as well as their children. The unaware are as gullible as unthinking automatons when faced with the sophisticated psychological strategies being used against them. This is a must-see. You should also read her book mentioned above.

Some Observations Regarding Economics
Everybody knows that we're experiencing some tough times. I read a lot of information on economics and finance. My opinion of the current economic situation is that it was predictable. There appears to be two forces at work here, but first I will talk about the monetary situation.
In previous times, numerous substances were used as money. Tobacco, sea shells, tally sticks, salt, gold, silver, etc., have all been used as money. Historically speaking, the substances that functioned as the best forms of money have been gold and silver. I understand this, and a number of people understand this as well. This is the reason why the price of gold and silver are so high today, and why they do a better job of preserving their value, regardless of what happens in the world's financial markets.
While gold and silver are excellent forms of money, they do have some disadvantages. They are bulky and hard to carry around. It is almost impossible to carry around gold for everyday transactions because it is so valuable. And you can forget about using silver for that because it is extremely heavy. Another problem is that they are very rare. Although the rarity of gold and silver make it valuable, it also makes it virtually impossible for them to be used as money because there just isn't enough of it to support world trade. Some of these facts may be the reason why the world's financiers choose to manipulate and suppress the gold and silver commodity exchanges.
So although I know that gold and silver are great for preserving your wealth from inflation and hyperinflationary destruction of financial (paper) assets, everybody does not have this option. With over six billion people in the world today, there just isn't enough gold and silver to make world commerce work. That's just a cold, hard fact. This is why credit is used as money. There is no limit to how much can be produced.
Unfortunately, the same thing that is good about credit is also a weakness of it. Because there is no limit to how much credit can be produced, this can also cause problems in society, and we are experiencing them now. If credit is to be used, there should have been some sort of limit placed on how much would be emitted. The old saying is that 'absolute power corrupts absolutely', and we're seeing this happen with the big banks. Unfortunately, the average person is being given the bill for the wayward antics and tendencies of these banks. They basically got no penalty, while average people are the ones who will pay the penalty and the bill.
Times will probably get tougher for average people, and especially for people that depend upon a job for their income. But people who can take advantage of world trade (outside of the United States), and people who can participate in technological innovations will probably soar ahead with financial growth opportunities. But those who are left back with the old ways of doing things will be left behind. The economic environment is changing, and the person looking for a job will be left behind if s/he does not develop marketable skills that will be in demand today, and in the future.

I'm Just Wondering...
...how does the US dictate to another country what they can do with their nuclear program(s)? The US has more nuclear weapons than any other country on the planet. In addition to that, Israel flatly denies the IAEA inspectors access to their nuclear facilities, but it is well-known that they have many nukes. In fact, they flatly state that they have them and that they are ready, willing and able to use them on anybody!
If anybody told the US what to do with their nuclear policy (or any other policy, for that matter), the US would tell them to take a hike! I just don't understand what the deal is. I don't hear anybody saying anything about North Korea either. They seem to have it out for Ahmadinejad. He was no worse than GW Bush was over here. I don't think he led any invasions into any other countries
It just seems like George Orwell's Animal Farm to me where "some countries are more equal to others". In short, this is just the exact same (faulty) methodology & reasoning that was used to invade Iraq.

Swine Flu Vaccination is Not Safe
I already have major scientific problems with the whole theory that "supports" the efficacy of vaccination. But this swine flu vaccination deal is just rotten from the top to the bottom.
The vaccine is being pushed before there is any credible evidence of any epidemic. Second, the swine flu is not any more virulent than the normal flu. Also, the vaccine manufacturers have lobbied and got passed laws that make them immune from lawsuits from people that are injured by their vaccines. There are also reports that they are using more dangerous adjuvants in these vaccines than they are using in other vaccines. This will only serve to make these vaccines more dangerous to people who take these vaccines. It is not a good situation.
And when you take into the fact there are reports that local & state governments around the United States are seeking to make these vaccines mandatory. Early reports are showing that these vaccines are more injurious than the vaccines that are already being given to patients. I would not take this vaccine, nor let my child take it, personally. You are free to do as you wish, but make sure that you do your own due diligence.
The vaccine is being pushed before there is any credible evidence of any epidemic. Second, the swine flu is not any more virulent than the normal flu.

Television Viewing Habits Disturbing
I couldn't believe it when I saw a report that states that the average American household views television for more than 8 hours per day! That is ridiculous, given the remedial levels at which television programming is designed.
It is obvious that the thinking level of most popular television shows is decidedly low. There isn't any earth-shaking thinking going on here. This may be ok for some entertainment, but 8 hours of viewing this mental garbage is not 'just entertainment'. That's actually a total day at work!
We are kidding ourselves if we think that this is innocuous. This is amounting to mental conditioning of America. There is a reason why the level of television programming is so low, and it is not to improve the critical thinking skills of television viewers. Actually, this incessant babble is more designed to entertain, pacify, narcotize and lull the viewer into a false sense of security and a state of dull complacency.
The scary thing about propaganda and mind control are that they are designed to be invisible to the victim. In fact, in order for it to work, the victim has to be ignorant of the tactics being used against him! Remember that the people designing the conditioning are doing it for THEIR benefit.
The study of propaganda, mind control, mass media, mental programming, social conditioning, persuasion and advertising is probably one of the most important things for people to understand in relationship to television. Although it seems to be harmless, the television is the most powerful tool ever designed for control of public perception and popular opinion. The greatest danger lies in the fact that television is so ubiquitous, so subtle, and so seemingly harmless, that it is readily dismissed as being such a serious threat to free thought, rational thought, and freedom itself.
Read some of the articles referenced in this article, and do your own research on the topic. Dictators and other megalomaniacs of years past have only dreamed of having the power at the disposal of the controllers of television programming. After about 75 or so years of research on this subject, they have the manipulation and control of popular opinion down to a science.
This is how people can believe that lies and misconceptions are facts, and how they can not tell the truth from lies. The television programmers construct a mental paradigm a conceptual distance of 3 standard deviations away from truth. In this way, they insure that less than 0.01% of people ever stray far away enough to find the truth. It has been working for years, and is in no threat of being discovered by the sleeping, dumbed-down masses. Do your duty and TURN OFF THE TELEVISION, and do some original thinking, research something independently, or go learn something for a change!

The 911 Truth Movement Revisited
If you believe conventional mass media sources, the only people that question the official recounting of the events surrounding the 911 WTC Attacks are kooks, idiots, wackos, and other people that are not worthy of any attention or consideration. Everybody knows that the government would never kill its own people. Everybody knows that the mass media never lies. Everybody knows that our government is good. Everybody knows that the only people who would question the government are those who are unpatriotic. Everybody knows that if we question the government and the official 911 story, we weaken our country and do not support our troops.
Of course, none of the above conclusions have any basis in truth or facts. Unfortunately, if one would do any research on the above matters, she would learn that:
-people who question official accounts of events are usually more patriotic than those who just blindly follow,
-many people who question the official 911 story are scientists, architects, engineers and other well-educated professionals,
-governments have killed more of their own citizens than all of the people killed in world wars combined (i.e., USSR, China, Germany, etc.)
-the mass media distorts and manipulates information based on the edicts of the large corporations that pay them billions of dollars in advertising fees
-the US government has started just about every war based on lies (i.e., Korean war, WWI, WWII, Vietnam war, War on Terror, etc.)
-the people who support the troops the most are those who question the official 911 story because the truth would bring them back home and stop them from dying needlessly.
The facts show that there are a lot of logical inconsistencies in the official 911 story. They are too numerous to mention in this article, but there is an abundance of this information on the Internet. Unfortunately, there is some bad information out there in regards to this topic. It is probably designed to get people to dismiss all questions about this event without critically analyzing the rest of the information.
The fact of the matter is that it is the civic duty of citizens of a country to learn the facts about their country, regardless of what the mass media or the government say the facts are. The citizens are the ones who are the real government, anyway. If you read about government, you will learn that it is the job of the citizen to inform the government when it oversteps its bounds, not the duty of the government. If people are dependent on the mass media and the government for all of their information and reasoning, this means that they are not independent! Think about this deeply because the ramifications will affect every aspect of your life, whether you realize it or not.

Financial Realities-The Global Debt Crisis
Despite the reports of brighter times ahead, things are looking just as bleak as ever. I do not wish to sound like a pessimist, but the reality of the situation is that the elements that have created the recession have not been dealt with to date. Nothing has really changed except that bankers and others who profited from the financial thievery got paid off again by the government (aka, stimulus package, bailout).
The 'green shoots' spoken of in the news have not materialized. There are numerous homes that should be in foreclosure that banks are not moving on so that they can artificially reduce the number of homes that are in foreclosure. The commercial real estate market is poised to melt down in similar fashion to what happened to the residential real estate market. Unemployment is not going down any time soon, and all reports show that no progress is being made to create jobs in America. The Health Care package appears to be a huge expense for a cash-strapped country. The War in Iraq has now been converted into the War in Iraq and Afghanistan. China and Japan are trying to get rid of as many dollars as they can, while they are still worth something. The inflation/hyperinflation practices of the US government are going ahead at full speed.
I could go on and on, but I think that you're getting the point. It just doesn't look like any action is being taken that will make the US or world economies any better. The world's economy seems to be irrevocably addicted to debt. It almost appears that the world's economy has been linked and is now being purposely destroyed to create a world wide financial crisis that will be solved by a world authority with the power to control everything on the planet.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I am sure that it will all depend on the intentions of those who seek to rule. Historically, the people that fight their way to the top of the heap are usually in it for themselves and their friends, and everybody else gets screwed. The people get a bunch of platitudes and good-sounding speeches, and not much more.
But maybe things will be different this time. Maybe people who are power brokers will shower average people with abundance, freedom and a happy way of life. Maybe they will educate the children to be intelligent and industrious. Maybe they will enable the peoples of the world to advance the newest technologies and enhance the quality of life for all people on Earth. Maybe there will be no more wars, no more exploitation, no more discrimination, no more terrorist attacks, no more victims.
How probable is this, given the history of mankind?

Are you listening? The Bailouts Just Don't Make Sense
We've turned America into a socialist, dishonest country, and it didn't just start with Obama. This is not a good situation, and there are no 'green shoots'. The plan appears to be to take America down, and it is mostly an accomplished feat. Most people are so disillusioned, so confused, so programmed that they can't see or hear the truth, and have been narcotized into quiet submission. Check this video out & tell me what you think.

Is the US as We Know It Over?
There has been a quiet, non-publicized move to form a North American Free Trade Union(a.k.a., NAFTA) that appears to be a threat to American sovereignty. Some people are concerned about this, but others display the usual lethargy and apathy about these developments.
It looks like any other issue. There are at least 2 sides to this. Of course, this is a threat to American sovereignty if a intergovernmental authority or unelected group of people have power over American, Mexican or Canadian government authority. There is a danger of tyranny whenever groups of people that make decisions over others have no accountability. The old saying is that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." When people have absolute authority over others, they often look out for their own interests, and are prone to use others for their own profit and convenience.
This could be also seen to be a transitional period when the authority of local government and elected officials is being slowly transferred to higher levels, such as to regional, and international levels. In the short term, this represents a threat to the American way of life, and also to American interests. But from a higher perspective, this is how the economies of the world can be equalized so that wages, resources and training can be more uniform. It will be a painful process, but it may lead to a better world down the line.
These events are merely occurrences. What they mean is subject to individual interpretation. I am not sure if world government would be a good thing. It sounds great, but so did other concepts like capitalism, communism, socialism and nationalism. But all of these concepts have been a justification for exploitation, extermination and oppression of millions of people in the world. I fear that a group of world leaders would be able to set up a system of world oppression and control that could not be stopped.
With all that said, I am presenting some videos that may give some more information about these topics.

911 WTC is Here Again
...but did we learn anything? Collectively, the answer is a definite NO. The majority of people out there actually believe the spurious information being given to them in reference to the WTC attacks. But I STILL haven't seen any information or evidence that even remotely explain the observations and anomalies that were mentioned by alleged "911 Truthers".
Unfortunately, many (if not most) people are hopeless conformists, and just go along with the "Powers-That-Be" so as not to "rock the boat" and bring themselves under scrutiny. I know that most people are not intellectually courageous enough to challenge the status quo, and to deal with the ramifications of that. I won't go into details about those ramifications, but will leave it to your imagination to explore those on your own.

Economic Crisis is Still in Full Effect
The economy is still in intensive care. It will probably get a lot worse before it gets better. Without jobs, without any manufacturing industry, or any other basic industries, I'm not sure about what would initiate an economic recovery in America. Most of the jobs in the country were dependent upon production of goods. But America isn't producing much these days. Most of America's manufacturing capacity was exported out of the country.
The reason given for this is the massive regulation of business, as well as the long list of taxes and other regulatory control over businesses. Some regulation is necessary, but at a certain point it becomes a burden on business, and actually serves to make American businesses uncompetitive with similar foreign businesses that do not have these barriers to profit. Taxes have the same effect. Regulations can also be used as a way for the politically-connected to eliminate the competition. Refer to the incident of Tucker, and how he was eliminated by the Big 3 Automobile companies when he developed a superior product.
Now I do have some problems with communist ideology. It is just not in line with human psychology or motivation. It sounds good, but never works in practice. It can't work in practice because people are mainly motivated by self-interest, not by working for the common good.
But, on the other hand, true capitalism has never been used in America. Also, capitalism, in practice, has been based on the exploitation of indigenous peoples of the world. Capitalism has only been used when natural resources can be stolen for free, without paying the people who may happen to live on top of them. This leads to the economic and social ills with which we are already very familiar.
In any event, check out this video below which deals with the massive amount of people who used to profit from the status quo, but who are now its victims. They couldn't foresee that they were on the road to disaster.

Marc Faber Tells It Like It Is
I found this video on YouTube. Marc Faber is a talented economist whose information resonates with me. I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I haven't seen anything compelling coming from any government actions.
But then again, they say that a country gets the type of government that it deserves. If this is the case, then the average American is corrupt, lazy, and unable to handle the level of responsibility that freedom demands. Yes, the truth hurts, but the proof is in the results reaped from the thinking.
Despite all of this negative-sounding information, I still think that freedom will prevail. Unfortunately, there will be pain felt while we make the journey to the final destination.

Housing Meltdown is Far From Over
From my studies and from what I know about economics and other related topics, I suspected that the truth about the housing and banking industries was not being publicized on the network news channels. It may be a good thing, as the public doesn't need to be stampeded into destructive herd behavior. But for the thinking person, you do want to know the truth about things so that you can form an effective strategy for protecting your wealth, and even prospering from the present conditions.
The fact of the matter is that we are nowhere close to a bottom in the real estate market! This is despite all of the 'feel good' rhetoric that is being reported in the mass media. This is just to keep the sheeple from getting disturbed from their comatose mental state. I think that we've already talked about how one of the main goals of the mass media is to narcotize the average person's mind, to keep them docile and compliant.
There are all sorts of things being done to keep the truth away from people. But the truth is self-evident, and will always make itself known and felt. It doesn't matter how many media pundits, advanced-degreed sycophants, industry mouthpieces, and talking heads make public pronouncements that "We are in a recovery." Propaganda and warm, fuzzy feelings do not affect hard economic realities.
The best thing to do is to embrace the truth, while stripping away your emotional reaction(s) to it. Remember that it isn't personal--only business. The world is not out to destroy you. Past actions of people have led us to this situation. It seems to repeat itself periodically throughout human history. The times & places change, but the market meltdowns remain the same. It must be human nature. Study the previous market meltdowns, and you'll learn what you can do to protect yourself and your wealth during this one. The old saying is that,"There is nothing new under the sun."
Check out the following video for your further edification of the statements above:
