The Grand Enygma

READER NOTE: I do not censor comments - positive, negative or neutral.  I DO moderate them, because I am under constant attack by those who want to cash in on my readership, or bots posting pornographic links.  Your sincere comment will be posted as fast as I am notified by Google.

In the 1790s, two of the legendary Founders of the united States of America, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, formed one of the fledgling country's first political parties - the Democratic Republicans.

This party was dedicated to protecting individual rights, States' Rights and seeing to it that no one formed a central bank.

Almost immediately, problems appeared, but it was a deep ideological split over abolition of slavery that ultimately caused the party to break in two by the 1820s.  The resulting Democrat Party supported slavery and wanted a central bank, while the Republican Party was dead-set on abolition of slavery and no central bank.

When people grouse that the Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same coin, they are, to a great degree, correct.

The Democrat Party is the oldest voter-based party on the planet, and one of the oldest continually operating parties ever.  The number of individuals in the US who identify as Democrat significantly outnumber the Republicans.  The wealth and power represented by the Democrat Party is enormous.

So why is a 230-year-old organization with that kind of pedigree literally doing everything possible to commit political suicide?

An organization with that kind of power and track record doesn't suddenly implode in the space of four years.  It has survived and been reasonably successful precisely because it made smart choices at key junctures and was able to recruit millions of intelligent and pragmatic people over the centuries.  This is not to say their choices were agreeable to everyone, but they were certainly enough to amass wealth and power and take over various aspects of the federal government in a generational flip-flop with its once-conjoined sibling.  It was even clever and powerful enough to get the first black president to office, and nearly enough to get the first woman.

It seems that the Democrat Party's dramatic fall from grace began with the nomination of Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.  From that point on, the Democrats have literally and figuratively been crumbling before our eyes, in a series of choices that defy reason or self-protection.

Hillary Clinton, by any objective standard, was a terrible choice.  This has nothing to do with gender or race or any other shallow metric.  She is a disagreeable human being - mean, calculating, duplicitous.  She did not want the presidency for any ideological purpose - she believes in nothing but herself.  She only wanted to enrich herself from the position, and ensure grade schools across the land would rename themselves in her honor.

It has been part of popular culture since the 1990s, that she and her husband lie, cheat and possibly even murder to get what they want.  Even on TeeVee, her haughty insincerity ooze through the electrons.  Any level-headed analysis would conclude that she stole her way to the nomination, and for that reason, voters rejected her, especially in the "fly-over country" that is American's conscience.

From the moment the Democrats nominated her, the foundation cracked and the pillars crumbled and the curtain in the sanctuary was rent in twain.

Following Clinton's loss, the Democrats took a series of decisions that, to an impartial observer, seem to belie suicidal tendencies.  The years of harping on Russiagate in the face of contrary facts, with party leaders blatantly lying while hanging their reputations on those lies.  The selection of Nancy Pelosi (again) as Speaker of the House, and her subsequent antics.  The ill-advised impeachment of Donald Trump.  The mind-numbing tap dances to distract from brewing scandals.  The painful shilling of the mass media.  The overt race baiting with Jussie Smollett, Bubba Wallce and many others.  The astounding support for rioters and looters, and the destruction of major US cities and law enforcement agencies.

And for their latest performance, the nomination of a 5th-place candidate who is clearly suffering from mental incapacitation, and a running mate who withdrew from the primaries before a single vote was cast, and who is equally clearly disliked by key constituencies.  To top off the circus, the Democrats mounted what is likely the most mind-bendingly amateur virtual convention imaginable.  A high school media class could literally run circles around this embarrassing dog-and-pony show.

Rational people are left asking, with mouths agape, what in the hell happened to the Democrats?!  If they were intentionally destroying themselves, they couldn't do a better job.

And there is the conundrum.  One assumes that a party with a very long and storied past, with considerable assets and significant wealth and power could never make this many blunders for this many years and not know that they are destroying themselves.

In 1972, Richard Nixon trounced McGovern, taking 520 of 537 Electors., but four years later the Democrats won the presidency with Jimmy Carter, though that president would keep them out of office for the following three terms.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan nearly swept the Electoral College, with all but 13 of the 538 Electors.  Many commentators asked if the Democrats were finished, and in fact they only held the presidency for four years from 1968, until 1992.

The Democrats fought back to relevancy every time, with Bill Clinton for two terms in the 1990s, and Barack Obama in the 2010s.  This time, however, it seems that all hope may be abandoned.

There are three conceivable reasons that might explain this strange situation:

1. The Democrat Party has been overrun by complete morons (possible, but let's discount this one for now);
2. The Democrats believe they cannot win against Donald Trump and are saving their A-Team for 2024 (possible, but threatens control of the House and surrenders the Senate);
3. Someone has given orders for the Democrats to immolate themselves (my choice).

The first option is possible, but highly unlikely.  The party has the history, money and power to attract top political analysts and strategists.  It seems rather implausible that the majority centrists in the party would allow the leadership to deteriorate this much.

The second option is plausible, but equally unlikely.  Even if the leadership has abandoned the idea of beating Trunp, this strategy risks almost everything.  They stand to lose control of the House, deepen their weak position in the Senate, surrender control of the Supreme Court (at least two replacements likely in the next four years), and completely unravels the Globalist agenda that has been built over a century.

The only scenario where this option makes some sense is to lull the Republicans into a feeling of complacency in the hopes they won't turn out to the polls, but a cost-benefit analysis of this strategy makes it an extreme risk, given all that's on the line for the Left.

The final option is the only one that fits all the available evidence.

If one makes the reasonable assumption that both parties are, at some lofty level, controlled by the same entity(ies), then one can also assume that the Democrats have been ordered to fall on their swords for a higher purpose.  The question is, can we hypothesize a reasonable strategy where this would be plausible?

Over the last two decades, there has been a growing unrest and dissatisfaction with globalism and the rapid destruction of ethnic and cultural identity.  In the US, it first appeared in 1996, with the Ross Perot campaign.

Ross Perot was a Texas businessman, who ran as an independent in 1992, and polled 19% of the vote that year.  This was the strongest showing by a third party candidate since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, and the third highest in US history.

In 2012, Ron Paul, a Texas physician, announced his third run for the presidency.  He consistently polled in the Top 3 of Republican candidates, but was blatantly snubbed by the media.  Regardless, he had a large and fanatical following that drew thousands to an alternative rally during the RNC that year.

Perot and Paul revealed a large and growing hidden class of disenfranchised voters who were not happy with the globalist direction of the country, and who were now activated by Paul, who showed them just how large their numbers really were.

In the highest echelons of power, one can imagine a note of anxiety seeing these increasingly engaged and enraged voters.  It was obvious that they were right wing, nationalistic and growing restless.  They were obviously attracted to the Republican Party if a suitable candidate was fielded.

Donald Trump had name recognition, wealth, popularity, and ticked off all the talking points of the hidden voters.  

Hillary Clinton preferred Trump as an opponent, thinking he was an easily beatable buffoon, but it's possible she was steered into that belief by her handlers.  She was obviously unaware of the numbers of hidden voters, since she casually labelled them a "basket of deplorables."  Again, we ask was she that unaware, or was she steered that direction?  For all her faults, she is a canny political creature.

All of the foregoing is by way of saying that it is plausible that the true elite chose Donald Trump in order to defuse and channel the growing nationalistic fervor.  Sacrificing a decade to preserve more than a century of work building the global systems is hardly out of the question.  

After all, nationalist has surged in my locations across the globe and it is easier to mold and direct energy, than to stop it cold.  With an extensive digital surveillance network, it would be easy to gather and use blackmail material, allowing them to regain control over a significant number of politicians, regardless of their bespoke positions.  These elites could even surrender operatives like Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, since their type of honey traps were now obsolete.  The Anthony Weiners of the political world were sexting all the data the elites could possibly use.

In the final analysis, it seems that the lofty Olympians have decided on a course of action that incorporates the current wave of nationalism into their long-term goals.  They have issued marching orders to party leaders to throw the election, and even if the politicians are ignorant or unhappy with the arrangement, they have no choice, as all their secrets have been carefully cataloged in vast databases.  The voters, of course, are inconsequential in any case.

If anyone has a better explanation for the abject insanity we see in the daily news feeds, there is a comment section below.  I'd sure love to hear it.

Ordo Ab Chao

Assuming Donald Trump is who and what he appears to be, is it possible that all the hysteria around his candidacy is fabricated?  If so, for what purpose and who are the players?

In my previous post, I speculated on the Trump Phenomenon and speculated on what may happen should the "establishment" take drastic action, out of fear, to stop his candidacy.  This essentially is looking at the election at face value, assuming all the players and events are what they appear to be.  Indeed, on the surface, most of the players are probably as they appear.  But...what if we dig a bit deeper, change our perspective a bit, look at the situation from another angle?

It is an established fact that the United States was founded by members of a secret society called the Freemasons.  It is further established fact that many of the players in 20th century American politics have been members of another secret society, the Skull and Bones.  Given these facts, it is reasonable to assume that there are many other such societies playing covert roles at much deeper levels.

It is also an established fact that the motto of the United States, enshrined on the Great Seal and published on the backs of every $1 bill is Ordo Ab Chao, a Latin phrase meaning "order out of chaos," which is the catch-phrase of 33rd degree Freemasonry.

To further set the stage, it is fairly well established that the US has, in many countries, effected "regime change" by creating chaos and then offering a hand-tailored 'solution.'  This is better-known as the Hegelian Dialectic, and has been used in numerous countries to throw out established power blocks and introduce others that are more in tune with the goals and objectives of the "establishment."  To give just a few examples, the color revolutions over the past 20 years, the Arab Spring, the Ukraine, various Central and South American countries, and so on.

The method is generally the same: create social divisions, polarize the parties, create fear and panic, then offer a solution that seems reasonable to all sides, or at least can be forced on those that still dissent.

I think it can be reasonably assumed that there are a great number of the "establishment" that have no national loyalties.  They are globalists whose interests supersede national boundaries.  Therefore, chaos and turmoil in any one country has little bearing on their thinking.  They are able to move about and take up residence wherever they please, so even if their apparent home country devolves into complete anarchy, the "establishment" simply opens the branch office in more quiet climates. Joseph Farrell has quite exhaustively shown how the Venetian banking elite moved first to the Netherlands, then London, then the New World, as their machinations caused nations to crumble and the natives to eventually rise up and cast them out.

We are not positing that the Freemasons are behind all this, nor the Jesuits, nor any of the other "usual suspects."  What we are trying to show is that the US has had individuals at its helm since the beginning who were members of international societies that were above national or even regional interests, and that superseded any one location.

We are also attempting to establish a modus operandi for the "establishment, whereby chaos and turmoil are created and used to effect changes more hospitable to the power elite.

Given that the "establishment" is a consortium of globalist interests with no interest in or allegiance to any one nation, we can assume that events within the US, no matter how chaotic and polarized, do not concern them.  They can simply move somewhere else more amendable to them.  Given also that the "establishment" has used chaos and turmoil in other countries to install more favorable rulers and systems, it is also safe to assume that they would use the same tactics in the US.  It therefore appears to be a reasonable argument that the current situation in the US could be a manufactured phenomenon in order to effect some change in the social and/or governmental structure of the US, in order to achieve some end that they desire.

One line of evidence is the amazing media attention being lavished on Donald Trump.  Four years previously, Ron Paul was at the center of a nearly similar uprising of voters that spanned all demographics, were fanatical supporters, and the candidate was far more intelligent and far more political experience than Trump.  However, the candidate was virtually invisible in the national media.  Even as Paul's numbers swelled and his campaign strengthened, the media simply shunned him, thus choking off what may have been the Trump revolution v.1.

It seems rather obvious that the media owners, most certainly part of the "establishment," have instructed their assets to lavish attention on Trump.  There is no other reason why every Twitter post and utterance by Trump become major news items.  It would be the easiest task to make Trump pay for every second of air time by shutting him out and forcing him to buy air time, just like they did with Ron Paul.  They could even break.  Therefore, the "establishment" is using its media control to create the phenomenon as a means to polarize the nation and create chaos.

As proof, we need only wait out the process.  If this line of reasoning is accurate, then the shrill voices and feigned panic in the halls of power will increase, and the violence and dissent among the electorate will ratchet up until it becomes the hew and cry of war.

What possible purpose could this serve?  Well, the obvious problem is that in order to crush dissent, you must first know who it is and where it hides.  By creating an atmosphere that draws even the meekest voter and voice into the fray, it becomes an easy matter to catalog the opposition. In the immediate moment, you can work the opposition into a complete lather and then humiliate them in front of the world, thus yanking the carpet of power and influence clean out from under them.  This would effectively silence any opposition for decades and give the "establishment" an unfettered run in power.

The result would be to silence the anti-globalists within the US, who have been the biggest impedance towards total global dominance in the past 100 years.  A solid trouncing would effectively prevent any organized resistance to the final steps in the destruction of national sovereignty and the destruction of social identity.

There are some risks.  Assuming Trump is genuine (and not a staged part of the ritual), he could take hold of the reins of power and actually cause some damage to the framework.  His presidency would also empower the anti-globalist movement and create strong hindrances to finalizing the Plan.  If things got too far out of hand, it might set back the globalist agenda by decades or more.

This scenario is not altogether implausible.  If Trump is actually an insider, then this even further complicates the process and outcome.  If this were the case, it would cause even deeper destruction to the minds and spirits of the people who are lining up behind Trump as their counter-cultural hero.  That sort of betrayal would have the same impact as, say, the murder of JFK, Kent State or 9/11.  It would be a critical blow to all those who seek leaders to validate their desires.

More than the simple "WYSIWYG" version of this campaign, the scenario laid out here is truly disturbing.  Given that the "establishment" has used similar tactics in other nations for years, it is not out of the realm of possibility.  There is, to my mind, plenty of evidence that supports this kind of set-up.  We could even speculate that the Russians are playing a not-so-subtle role in the background as revenge for similar meddling in the Soviet Union, Georgia and the Ukraine.  In fact, a number of national interests, such as China, could potentially line up to take advantage of chaos within the US political and social fabric.

Only time will tell what is really happening at this point.  One thing is certain: there are significant risks riding on this election, and an entire laundry list of folks who would benefit from the collapse of the American political system.  There are also major inconsistencies, such as the voluminous media attention being lavished on Trump despite the prolonged wail and gnashing of teeth by those same media.

It is a testable theory, though.  We need only watch as things progress and divorce ourselves of a passionate interest in the outcome.  Simply look at the threads of the fabric as they appear to see the pattern develop.

One thing is without question, the next nine months will be some of the most fascinating we have witnessed in our lifetimes.

Y2K+12=Doom

Obama was re-elected.

HAHAHAHAHA!  Go on, pull the other one!

From where I sit (about 12,000 miles away) the recent US horse race was the biggest farce in all the history of 'democracy'.  America has shifted from a voting philosophy of "the lesser of two evils" to "the devil you know".

	Obama (Democratic)	303	25+DC	60,662,601	50.40%
	Romney (Republican)	206	24	57,821,399	48.01%
	Johnson (Libertarian)	0	0	1,139,562	0.95%
	Stein (Green)	0	0	396,684	0.33%
	Goode (Constitution)	0	0	108,195	0.09%
	Barr (Peace and Freedom)	0	0	49,426	0.04%
	Anderson (Justice)	0	0	34,521	0.03%
	Others	0	0	151,360	0.13%
Total		538	51	120,039,056	100.00%

You mean to tell me that with all the furvor and furor that surrounded Ron Paul's candidacy, and with Ritt Momney leading in national polls right up to Monday evening, Obama managed to win with all the third parties together not even pulling 1.5% of the vote?!

No write-ins for Ron Paul?  No mass movement to the Libertarian Party?  What about the millions of folks who whorked his campaign and donated millions of bux?  They just evaporated?  Or switched to one of the two lead horses?  Hell, Ross Perot ('92) got 19% of the vote with a lot less fever pitch to his campaign.  George Wallace ('68) got 14% and John B. Anderson ('80) pulled out 6.5%.

 And Johnson, a perfectly viable Libertarian candidate and popular former New Mexico governor, only polled 0.9%?!

Sorry, the numbers just don't line up.  I didn't have any horses in this race, nor did I vote, as I haven't since 1992, when I was part of Perot's 19%.  Furthermore, I left the US in 2008, and could really care less who won or lost, so I'm not coming at this with sour grapes.  I'm looking at the past year of campaigning, recent national polls and third-party history.

What I'm looking at is the fact that Ron Paul had millions of very passionate followers and he rallied large segment of the US population that was disenfranchised and mobilized them to the point that he drew a bigger crowd at his alternate rally than the Republican National Convention did.  Now, we are supposed to believe that all those deeply passionate people completely failed to show up and vote?  In fact, we are to believe that all those folks couldn't elect one single candidate at any level to any office?  What?  Did they just evaporate?

I'm also looking at the fact that Momney polled higher than Obama by at least a point or two from the debates until the last moment.  And he lost...?  Not only that, he practically conceded before the counting had begun, as if he was in a big hurry to hand over the White House without a whimper.

Yup, this whole thing smells to high Heaven.  Not one single aspect of the election rings true.  The general sentiment across the US was very similar to events in 1980, when Carter faced off with Reagan, and Reagan won by a landslide, even with Anderson pulling 6% of the vote away from him.

This win is in spite of the fact that Obama has been very unpopular as (p)resident, showed up to his first debate stoned out of his gourd, and has taken the country on a wildly socialist turn to the left.  And this is not to mention having failed to live up to a single campaign promise (close Gitmo, end Iraq/Afghan war, legalize marijuana), has instituted the largest tax hike in the nation's history (just wait till next year folks), and is the laughing stock of foreign leaders worldwide (c.f. Putin, Wen, Noda).

In fact, about the only thing Obama has done of any merit is keep Israel in its place, but that is hardly enough to warrant re-election.  Yes, Momney would have rushed into an Iran war, which made him scary to most folks, but with Obama's record, the combined perfect storm of idiots, along with the Ron Paul phenominon, should have driven thousands of voters to third parties.

Yet, only 1.6% voted their consciences.

Something is definitely rotten in Denmark.  Either Americans are far more mind-controlled than anyone could have possibly believed, or the election is a complete sham.  Giving the American people the benefit of the doubt (for now), I'm going with the latter option, though I reserve the right to change my mind upon further evidence.

So what now?

Well, it's back to business as usual.  The Reagan Revolution continues, with corporate interests advancing their stranglehold on government.  The fascist/socialist mutant that began overrunning Washington back in the days of FDR is plowing forward unabated.  The number of people surviving on government handouts continues to wildly expand.  The corporate agenda of weak, ineffective oversight and a school system that produces subserviet worker-bees hasn't paused for a breath in 50 years.

It doesn't matter that Obama won or Momney lost, they are one and the same when it comes to following the previously mentioned dogmas.  With only 1.6% of the population brave enough to change course, and the rapidly approaching point where those on the government teat will exceed 51% of the population, the outcome is written in stone.

The decline and fall of the Anglo-American empire is at hand.

In The Course Of Human Events

So, here I was, scanning the headlines from around the globe, as is my wont after a long day.  Suddenly, I got this overwhelming feeling that the Revolution has begun.

Some time back, I wrote about the feeling that we were all waiting on a Texas norther.  They blow though with a literal wall of blackness.  In front of them, it's hot and still.  Flies gather thick as blankets on the backs of cows.  The air is nearly malleable and hard to breathe.  It's fluid like oatmeal.

Then instantly, the sky turns yellow-green and the wind howls like a Wilhelm Scream.  The rain falls as if sprayed from fire hoses, and the wind carries is sideways.  The smell of ozone and a knife-like chill hit you like a slap upside the head.

That's what it feels like right now. 

I'm not sure what exactly is causing this feeling.  Maybe it's Sarkozy's slow-motion swift kick in the ass.  Maybe it's Ron Paul winning a new state every other day now, despite the LSM ignoring the tidal wave of Republican chairpersons and committees and delegates being caused by Paulian true believers.

Or could it be the long-anticipated armed troops in US neighborhoods?  Or that the Man O' Peace had to sneak into Afghanistan under cover of darkness to give a 15 minute speech on how he personally killed Usama bin Ladin...a man already dead for 10 years?  Or could it be Bolivia nationalizing the Spanish power grid?

Perhaps its the general sense of disgust almost everyone seems to be expressing against all governments everywhere.  Or NATO's invasion of Chicago.  It could be that someone was actually arrested for the BP slaughter of the Gulf of Mexico.  Or that Californians are starting to see radiation through the fog of Mother Nature.

Most likely, it is a combination of all these things.  It's like the moments before a tsunami.  The ocean disappears while across the horizon, a wall of water seems to be growing larger by the second.  Or a movie version of a boiler start to blow.  You see it puff up and the seams begin to pop and steam shoot out of every crook and cranny.

I really hard to get 7 billion people riled up all at once.  The used to call America the "sleeping giant".  They told us that in high school history.  Pearl Harbor woke the sleeping giant.  Well, it seems that something is stirring every human on the planet now.  You might have noticed how these color revolutions are starting to go the wrong way.  Seems that folks aren't happy with just changing butts in chairs anymore.  Now they want real, honest to God change...of Everything.

I guess when it comes right down to it, the feeling is coming from watching the whole Ron Paul ordeal.  No one was prepared for a large number of people who have figured out that the voting means absolutely nothing.  It's the smoke-filled back rooms where the real power is.

These people care absolutely nothing about voting and media and all the other mind-control techniques.  They've studied the problem for a long time and found the chink in the armor. 

Many of the American states have a two-tiered election process for president.  One tier is the actual lever-pulling vote, which hasn't meant of thing for decades.  It's just a circus for the media to make everyone think they were choosing candidates.

The action is in the second tier.  These are the caucuses that begin after the polls close.  Each precinct meets to choose delegates to the district convention, which meets to choose delegates to the state convention, which meets to choose delegates to the national convention, which chooses the candidate for president.  It's a month's long process and much too slow for the media or most couch potatoes.

The PTW have controlled, for all intents and purposes, the world because no one would get off their Blessed Assurances and go through the caucus system, other than the jerks who have run the country (and the world) into the dirt.

The Paulians are like the Occupy movement, except they aren't wasting their time on things like protests, which have no effect whatsoever.  Instead, they are taking over party committees and chairmanships.  They are storming the state party leaderships and implanting themselves in the positions where their efforts can actually change things.

See, Ron Paul isn't the real focus.  He's a rallying point to be sure, but this is a revolution of ideas.  The people he has activated want a change at the most fundamental levels of society.  It's not about butts in chairs.  For that, you can look at the empty campaigns of ObamaRomney.

Those latter two are just meat puppets.  They have no philosphies and believe in nothing but their own aggrandizement.  Obama is a complete fabrication, from his birth certificate to his 'memoir' girlfriend who never was.  Romney is a used car salesman who has chopped human beings up over a lunch deal and was sipping martinis in Martha's Vineyard by sundown.

Paul doesn't talk like a politician.  His ideas don't fit in a ten-second sound byte.  He doesn't present new curtains for the same old windows.  He's pumping deep, fundamental change.  Not more war, but a complete recall of the US military.  Instead of an endless precession of 'czars', a slashing of entire Cabinet-level departments.  Not just raising or lowering cash handouts to buy friends, but cutting off the free-flow crack altogether.  Not just massaging the Federal Reseave and 'monetary policy,' shutting the doors and sending the IRS packing.  Oh, and by golly, if watching all that go on makes you want to spark up, well by all means do so.

And it's not just America.  It's happening in Europe, where the PTW are trying desperately to steer everyone into one of the controlling parties, but people aren't buying it.  Greece will have elections shortly, and you can bet things will get a thorough dusting off.  France...ditto.  In Egypt, they still aren't done.  As soon as it looks like the same old jerks are taking over again, the people get right back out on the streets.  Syria.  Iraq,  Afghanistan.  China.  Vietnam.  Indonesia.  All over South America.

For those of us who have been watching and waiting for years to see this day, it is here.  The Revolution has begun.  It's not on the radar yet.  The media are doing their best to hide it and isolate the people of the world.  But the tides have shifted and they aren't going to stop now.  In fact, everything the PTW do from here on to stop the wave will only make it larger and more powerful.

It's not going to be fast, though in hindsight, it will have appeared to have swept the globe in minutes.  There's going to be a lot of pain.  No one will get to the other side without a story to tell.  The Paulians are a microcosm of what's going on across the entire planet.

You might want to get a better stance and grab onto something.  Texas northers are wild and exciting, but they aren't without the occasional property damage.

Folks have finally caught sight of the slaughter house and realized they've been following a Judas goat.

Me, A Name I Call Myself

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers. - Henry David Thoreau

It is a stealth weapon of the elite to confuse political thought and labels.  If one controls the definition of a word, then one controls all thoughts and ideas associated with that word.  This is why Orwell made such laborious points about the NewSpeak dictionary and Big Brother's control of vocabulary.

In this US political season, there are many labels being thrown around, and in fact, it is not much different than it has been for many decades.  It used to be a habit to smear folks with the term 'communist.'  The McCarthy era went on 'witch hunts' for Commies.  Yet I daresay pure communism has rarely existed, and certainly never at the level of national political control.

Today, the media and opponents smear Ron Paul with the label of 'libertarian,' though Ron Paul is hardly a pure libertarian, nor does the body of thought called 'libertarianism' have much to do with the common perception of it.

In order for social dialogue to be effective in parsing real leaders, it is vital that the language be clear and unambiguous.  For this reason, the elites relish the idea and ability to control definitions.  In doing so, they control outcomes and masses.  Thus, it behooves us to be absolutely clear on the definitions of political thought, so that we know exactly who we are electing and what they will do when they get there.

One of the most egregious examples of mis-definition is the word 'democracy.'  Democracy is probably one of the worst forms of government ever devised, since it is absolutely dependent on the masses being educated and enlightened.  Otherwise, it always devolves into the classic two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner.

The concept of America making the world 'safe for democracy' is so absurd and so wicked, as to be laughable if it weren't damaging so many lives.  Nothing is safe with or for democracy.  Everything is at the whim of the majority.  All rights, property and wealth are subject to whether 50.1% of the masses want what you have.  And if you are a reviled minority, then the majority can round you up and hang you whenever they damn well feel like it.

The elite love democracy, because they have mass mind control down to an art form.  Since they can manipulate at least 50.1% of the masses, they can do pretty much anything they like and blame it on the 'majority'.

For this reason, the US founders virtually spat the word democracy from their mouths.  They studied ancient Greek history and knew that any system based on it was doomed to corruption and dictatorship.  Instead, they turned to a Roman concept called  a 'republic'.

The idea of a republic is that there are a basket of rights that are sacrosanct and 'unalienable' (think unable to make a lien against them).  These rights can not be taken away by the majority, nor can they be contracted away.  In other words, a free man can not make himself a slave, but a slave has all the rights of a free man.

This is why the US Constitution dilutes the power of voting as much as possible.  The House is directly elected, but they are balanced by a Senate that was supposed to be elected by the State legislators.  People vote for electors, who in turn vote for the president.  The vice president was supposed to be the second-highest vote-getter.

There's also a Bill of Rights in that Constitution.  This was to be the basket of rights that were untouchable..."Congress shall make no law..."  No majority, no matter how big, was ever to have the power to abridge, amend or rescind those rights.

Both democracy and repulicanism were supposed to be reactions to monarchy.  Monarchy invests all sovereign power in a single individual, whose successor is a genetic relative.  All political, social, legal, and religious power was centered in this one individual.  If they happened to be good, then the masses flourished and things were peachy-keen.  If the monarch was evil and corrupt, then the entire country suffered for it.

Hardly a basis for stable governance.

A very old form of governance is something called communism, from the same root as community.  This form can not work on a mass scale.  In fact, masses of people are anathema to the whole idea of communism.  It only works on the scale of extended families, or possibly small villages.  Monasteries are a form of communism merged with monarchy.

They idea is that the group of people involved work together for the common good.  On the scale of a village, some folks grow food, others hunt, others are blacksmiths or leatherworkers, etc., and they pool their output for the benefit of everyone in the community.  If I'm a farmer, then I put my harvest in the pool and take out a pair of shoes for the kids and a shirt for myself.

One can see that scaling that sort of lifestyle up to even the size of a city wouldn't work.  Obviously, communism is unsuitable for mass society and therefore, has never existed on that scale.

So, along comes socialism.  Here, the concept of communism is adapted to mass society by vesting all power in the State.  Thus, the State owns and controls everything, and distributes the fruits of production to its constituents as needs arise.  However, this system is susceptible to corruption.  Inevitably, those who control the distribution keep the lion's share for themselves, which in turn calls for creation of vast bureaucracies of watchers to watch the watchers, all of whom become corrupt as they all try to take the cream off before passing out the dregs to the folks who actually produce the goods.

Socialism is doomed to collapse from an ever-swelling political class who become ever-more corrupt and self-centered.  The collapse is exacerbated by the eventual dissatisfaction of the masses who do all the work and get none of the benefits.  Like a teetering inverted pyramid, eventually the masses yank the rug out from under the system and it crashes down in a heap of ruins (see USSR).

The complete reverse of socialism is fascism, whereby all power and control is vested in corporate interests.  The business elite own and control everything, including government, and set out to establish an environment that favors them at the expense of all others.  This is the current state of things in the US.  Corporate interests manipulate the system so that the corporate elite siphon off the wealth for themselves and throw the scraps to the masses.  Fascism is an insidious form of government, because it appears to operate in the interests of all, in that everyone thinks they have an equal chance to get a piece of the pie.  But, the elite control the legal system, among other things, and simply change the rules when any one group gets too close to challenging their hegemony.

This form of government is doomed to collapse for many of the same reasons as socialism.  In fact, there's little that distinguishes the two, other than who ultimately benefits at the top.  Socialism and fascism are like Ismael and Isaac.  They are half-brothers but doomed to hate each other for all time, since the controllers at the top differ by degree and title.

In this same group, we'll call it a cousin, is theocracy.  Here, the monarch is a god or gods who ostensibly appoint a bureaucracy to see to their Earthly duties.  Ultimately, you end up with the same thing as the latter two forms - a ruling elite who scrape off the cream for themselves in the name of protecting society.  The only difference is that this bunch of bastards nominally answer to invisible forces, for which only they have the hotline.  Basically, it's a monarchratic socialist state with an invisible chairman.

There are a couple dozen variations on all this.  There's constitutional monarchies, and capitalist socialism, and democratic republics (talk about juxtapositions).  But all result in the same thing: a corrupt few controlling the masses by manipulating symbols of power to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else.

Here's where libertarianism stepped in.  Now, to hear the US mass media tell it, libertarianism is like Reaganomics on steroids.  The gist of it is that the philosophy is presented as unleashing corporations from any pretense of government control and letting them run amok in a capitalist orgy of rape and pillage.  This is why Ron Paul is painted as crazy and libertarianism is slandered as lunatic fringe.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  First of all, Ron Paul is not a pure libertarian, and second, libertarianism has nothing to do with unfettered corporate greed.

In its purest form, libertarianism is the concept that all people, everywhere, are completely sovereign within themselves and their property.  In other words, every man is a king and every woman a queen, and within the confines of their proptery, they are ultimate rulers over all they survey.  The more property you own, the bigger your kingdom.  And within that property, you are the ultimate law and order.  Whatever you say, goes.  Period.

Where it gets a little sticky is outside of your property.  Here, the Biblical axiom takes over: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  In other words, your rights stop at the self and property of another.  Any attempt to enforce your beliefs or exercize your rights over another is a literal act of war.

The only means of interaction with others is by contract, which literally works much like treaties between nations.  You are allowed to take or give as much as you like, as long as you abide by the terms of the contract you make.  Thus, every employee becomes a contractor.  All public works are performed by groups of people acting under contract.  Each contract becomes a form of Constitution, limiting and defining the powers of the parties involved within the scope of work in the contract.

It's an interesting and exciting political philosophy.  You can run your oil company, but the minute you spill some and cause a mess on my property, then you - personally - are liable for it, as is everyone under contract with your company.  If you want to run a meth lab in your house, more power to you.  But if your operation blows up and damages my property, you are liable, as are the folks working with you.

Libertarianism is the ultimate form of personal responsibility.  You are absolute monarch within the limits of your property, which includes your body.  But if any of your actions impair the property or rights of anyone else, then you lose your wealth making them whole again.

What makes libertarianism so appealing, at least to me, is that it completely decentralizes power.  Instead of small bodies of elites governing the thoughts, actions and wealth of the many, there are seven billion governments all acting organically with each other.  There is no public property, only that which isn't owned by someone.  There are no forced innoculations or militarized police or even lawyers, such as we know of them now.

Instead, there are only people.  No strawman entities like corporations.  No governmental bodies with power to force you to do anything you don't want.

The concept is so foreign to most people's thinking that they can't conceive of such things.  No welfare?  No subsidies?  No taxes?  How would we survive?  No armies?  No drug/terror/poverty wars?  How would we make anyone follow our ways?

Once you start looking seriously at it, though, you find that Ron Paul is pretty darned far from being libertarian.  Sure he espouses a lot of the ideas, but the basis of his rhetoric is really just a return to the founding ideals of the US, which is a damn sight closer to libertarianism than currently exists, but it is NOT libertarianism.  In pure libertarianism, there could be no central authority or power to tax or presidency to run for.  It wouldn't exist.

It's important in this election season to clarify the terms being thrown around.  America is not a democracy, nor has it every been one.  Ron Paul is NOT a libertarian, nor has he ever been one.  Liberals and conservatives are neither.  Democrats and Republicans are neither.

America is a fascist state.  Granted, it is not the most severe example...yet.  But it is important to both realize that fact and decide where you stand on the issue.  It would help if you look up the history of fascism (dating back to the Roman period) and see how they always end.  Look up democracy, while your at it.  Notice that you don't live in one, first, and second, that you don't want to.

Finally, examine pure libertarianism.  It's a scary concept for many folks, since they can't imagine being personally responsible for their lives.  However, I find it most appealing in many ways.  Though Indonesia has a socialist repulic form of government, at the street/practical level, the people have a strong libertarian impulse that I find refreshing.

Freedom is a scary thing.  Having only yourself and your family and friends to rely on is terrifying for a lot of folks.  They would rather use the guns and force of government to take your property and wealth to support them, or at least give them the illusion of security.  The problem is, the more power you give to government to make you secure, the more the government will become your worst enemy.

Ultimately, the fairest and most egalitarian social order is libertarianism, but the world is not ready for it.  Our ancestors used to live that way, but we have become so socialized and dependent on some form of authority structure that the very idea of personal responsibility causes cold sweat and trembling knees.

Part of what scares the hell out of the elite with the internet is that it has empowered the libertarian in all of us. Groups like the TorProject.org and Anonymous and others are painted as anarchists, but really they are libertarians fighting for the right to take care of their own.  The elite must shut down the internet before these groups can become powerful enough to do things like launch their own communications satellites, or build subnets that don't rely on government control, or land robots and people on other planets - all without the aid and coercion of government control and power.  In fact, all of those efforts are based on contract and free association, which are the roots of libertarianism.

Makes me want to run over to the bookshelf and take down Emerson and Thoreau!

Requiem For A Nation

Once upon a time, I believed the hype about America being the greatest country ever.  In fact, the founding ideals were pretty astounding, in that a country that free had never been tried before, at least since the creation of the modern nation-state.

The dream went bust on Halloween afternoon 1981.  I had just spent about a year and a half backpacking around the world.  I was 19, and with that experience in my hip pocket, I could call myself a worldly guy.  I had seen quite a bit of life and the world, having my passport stamped in 37 countries on three continents.  In all that time and in all those places, I pretty much had a free ride through immigration.  About the hardest time was getting out of Morocco, because I smoked Marlboros, which implied that I was a hash smoker.  Long story that.

Anyway, I looked a bit scruffy, sure, but that's to be expected after such an adventure.  My beard and hair had grown pretty long, and I had a pretty severe sunburn from a nude beach in Australia, so I wasn't able to bathe before jumping on the plane home.

At immigration, the jerk at the counter was passing folks through with nary a glance at them, most being foreigners.  When I got to the counter, he spent 20 minutes looking at my photo and then at me, asking me questions about why I had been out of the country for so long.  I mean real second-degree kind of questions. I, of course, having been raised a Texian and with a strong foundation in history, politics and law, was not about to answer any of them, and said so.

Finally, the jerk pointed at a side bench and said, "See that man over there?  He likes people with beards."

I muttered something rude under my breath, calling the jerk's paternity into question and implying that the other fellow's sexual orientation might have something to do with his affinity for beards.

I stepped to the second counter where I got more questions about where I had been and why.  I quoted Edmund Hillary and left it at that.  Jerk 2, being dissatisfied with my disdain for jackboots proceeded to completely dismantle my backpack, which (after a year and a half) was a masterpiece of intricate packing.

His grinned the whole time, as he literally undid every single item in the pack and threw it on the floor.  I made some comment about the obvious similarities to Nazi Germany and how I had been much freer outside the US than I was just momets after arriving on my home soil.  Figured I had nothing to lose, since the bastard was determined to make as big a mess of my possessions as he could.  My only crime was having dared to go abroad for an extended leave and brazenly defending my right not to answer intimate questions about it.

That was 1981, and from that point on, I know precisely what tyranny was.  I hadn't found it in any other country on my travels, save East Germany.  It was still decades before TSA would be created, but the foundation was already there.

Quite a few years later, while I was involved with the Texas secessionist effort, some group came out with a study showing that every single American, big and small, was controlled by more than 20,000 laws the minute they rolled out of bed in the morning.  Who could possibly follow the law when there were so many?  I noticed the headline the other day that 40,000 new laws took effect on January 1.  Not counting all the years and laws in between, that's 60,000 laws governing your life.

That can only mean one thing...no human being who lives in America can go through a normal day without breaking some laws.  It's impossible with that many laws in effect.  At some point, you're going to trim your nails the wrong way, or use the wrong light bulb or use too much water in your morning flush.

I have to say, that's pretty much insane.

The most egregious part of all that is the NDAA, euphemistically called the National Defense Authorization Act.  It literally declares every man, woman and child who has US citizenship to be enemies of the US.  At any point, and for any arbitrary reason, you can be declared an enemy combatant, stripped of your citizenship and imprisoned and tortured without legal representation or even notification of next of kin.  You just vanish into a Kafka-esque nightmare.

Back in the day, when the evil commies were sending folks off to psychiatric hospitals for 'rendition,' they came across a rather stalwart fellow named Alexander Solzhenitsyn.  They tried every trick in the book, but could not break him.  Finally, he was asked why this was so.  He simply answered that they had already taken everything of value from him, so he had nothing left to lose.

These are dangerous times.  When you have 300 million people with nothing left to lose, great upheavals in history tend to result.  Sad to say, this will probably not end well.  The record gun sales before Christmas speak to a great many folks taking things pretty seriously, regardless of who they envision will be at the business end of those guns.

The real answer to this situation is so much more pleasant.  The US has reached this point because their culture has been corrupted by the controllers.  The simplest and most effective answer is to take it back.  It's a time for folks to start creating new art, new music and new literature, but keep it out of the corporate grist mills.  Instead, start distributing it on the net, passing out CDs, printing up books and trading them at fairs.  Create beauty and pleasant things and refuse to let the corporations feed off of it.  Keep it at the real level.

We teeter now at the brink.  The number of similarities between the US and Nazi Germany are eerie.  The Enabling Act and the Patriot Act, the SS and the TSA, the Reichtstag fire and 9.11.  Even the US wars shadow Germany's 'lebensraum,' with blitzkrieg replaced by 'shock and awe.'  An ominous black cloud is drawing down on North America.  Both periods in history center around global economic depressions.  There's no escaping the historical rerun, but there is still an opportunity to change the course of events.

The election of Ron Paul presents an interesting possibility.  It would force the shadow elite into the open.  They have already exposed their media manipulations because of him.  We are likely to see blatant fraud at the polls.  If he wins, They will be forced to kill him or watch all their plans and machinations set back decades, if not centuries.  That 70% of all donations from military and federal employees are going to Ron Paul is very telling.

It's as if the world is holding its collective breath.  The masks are off and all sides can see who is really behind them now.  It's just a matter of time before someone blinks, and when they do, all hell will break loose.  The question is, which side?  It's a foregone conclusion that the side who shoots first will lose.  The damnedable part is that the US government is doing everything it can to provoke just about everyone in the world, including its own citizens.  It is itching for a fight, but so far, no one will give it any satisfaction, and if it starts the fight, it will lose all credibility, though it has precious little remaining.

Profound changes are coming, even more so than those already past.  Without a doubt, the side of evil and tyranny has already lost.  It always does, but it never fails to keep trying.  Insanity is a sad thing to witness.  The rules are different this time around, though.  No side has a fall-back position.  It will be an all or nothing fight.  What we on the good side must realize is that we can't succumb to their tactics.  We must do something completely different.

We must take back the culture.  We must extract ourselves from the means by which they control us, and that is done with media of all types.  We must find alternative channels to communicate and educate and entertain. We must boycott the TeeVee and the movies and the radio.  We must completely ignore all the avenues by which they project power into our lives.

Every eyeball, every eardrum, every taste bud becomes a weapon against our own minds and souls.  Only by shutting them out completely can we hope to dismantle their ivory towers.  If we unite, not in war or protest, but in truth and beauty and unity, we can destroy them without a single shot being fired or noose being strung. Just stop listening.

If no one listens to their talking heads, if no one buys their music, if no one reads their books, if no one goes to their movies, it will kill them as surly as any weapon.  If we create our own counter-culture and refuse to let them usurp it, it will cause them to wither and die.  Support bands who don't want a recording contract.  Read books that don't have major publishers.  Watch movies that aren't distributed by the major studios.  Better yet, create your own and share it with your friends.

It's a strange concept and it seems all too simple.  But it is, and it works.  The 1960s in America was a radical time because the counter-culture was out of Their control.  It didn't take long, though, for Them to absorb it by greed and avarice.  They only win because we play their game.

It's time to change the rules.

Ice Ice Baby!

Let's see...we have the Resurrection Of Newt, the Apocalypse of Europe and the Savior Ben Bernanke.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sure looks like we're watching some kind of warped Passion Play, with Israel reprising its role as the Antichrist, the great Satan.

Yes, it's a strange combination of religious fanaticism and economics, with Jowl Osteen getting a reality TeeVee show to top it all off.  And no, I'm not kidding.

The real news is that Americans can't afford to eat, a declassified memo appears to prove that FDR allowed the US to be attacked to mobilize the country for war (a la GW Shrub), and Bammy-Man O' Peace, has sealed the records relating to his guilt in selling guns to Mexican druglords to get Americans killed.

These are real stories because they show the truth underlying the gross manipulation of the masses, and the deceipt and depravity that infests the halls of 'power'.

The truly remarkable story at the core of this gothic drama of suffering, death and rebirth is the story that no one is talking about.  It is even more invisible than Ron Paul.  It is forbidden to mention in the mass media.  It is the live wire that no one dare touch and that no one dare mention.

This incredible hidden story is Iceland.

For those with memories longer than a newt's eyelash (all puns intended), you will recall that Iceland was the first of the EuroZone disasters.  During the fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008, Iceland's banks were going tits up.  The country's economy teetered on the brink of the Abyss and the world wrung its hands over whether or not they could successfully bail out their banks.  It was the test case for the deliberate destruction of the global economy.

Guess what?  Iceland is fine today.  All's well.  Their economy is rebounding and properity is returning.  The people there are newly re-empowered and re-vitalized.

By what miracle did this happen?  What could Greece, Italy, Spain, and the rest of the blood-soaked idiots of Europe learn from this little island in the north Atlantic?  What do they know that no one else seems to understand?  How can those half-frozen invisible people be smarter than all the royal economists of the western hemisphere?  Very simple, actually.

They told the banksters to get stuffed.

Dine on your own entrails, they said.  Sleep in the bed you have made, they hollered.  Take your debt and your flim-flam games and go elsewhere, they commanded.

And now they are free.  Their tables are set with hearty meals.  Their public spaces are free of demonstrations and rancor.  Their homes are warm and comfortable.  And the country is debt-free.

That's right, while the rest of the (ahem) free world piles on debt and grovels at the bankster feet, while the populations grow increasingly disquiet and the cost of living spirals while the standard of living tanks, Iceland is growing and thriving on the other side of their economic disaster.  This is for one reason, and one reason only.  When it came to the nut-cutting, the Icelandic people refused to bail out the banks and rather let them fail.  Then they reputiated the debt the banksters had created and tried to pawn off on the taxpayers there.  Then they arrested, tried and convicted banksters of fraud and put them in jail.

See how that works?

If you kow-tow to the banks and throw the whole country into a death spiral in order to bail out the avaricious and slimy banksters, your country devolves into turmoil, disgrace and depravity.  If you reject the banksters terms, repudiate the debt and put the whole damn lot of them in jail, your country trives and prosperity returns.

It's a very simple formula.  So simple, so effective, so quick to heal the bankster blight, that the mass mind control dare not let you see it.  None of the court economists will point to the remarkable turn-around.  None of the western governments dare look sideways at Iceland and try such radical fixes.

Why is it no political candidates will mention the Icelandic Option?  Why aren't the TeeVee nabobs gleefully pointing out the Miracle on Ice?  Why aren't univeristy economic departments rabidly studying the Ice-capades and announcing to the world they have found the saving grace of the west?

Because they are all bought and paid for by the banksters.  Because they grovel and beg for scrap debt from the bankster table.  Because their parent companies are owned by the banksters.  Because they aren't really looking for answers, they are TRYING to kill you and me.  They want it with all their rotted calloused hearts. They want us to work our asses off all our lives and then die and allow then to steal everything we've managed to amass.

Iceland is a small and inconsequential island in the north Atlantic, partially hidden by the "shrnking" polar cap (hahahaha-choke-sputter...pardon me).  It is easy to hide because Iceland doesn't have much of a propaganda department.  Besides, they're happen hunting norwhales and soaking in volcanic hot springs.

God help us should a country as visible as, say, Greece or Italy try the Icelandic Fix.  That's why Goldbar Sacks had to insert their lackies at the tops of those governments quick, before someone woke the hell up and decided that more debt and bankster ass-kissing wasn't going to salve the problem.

Has it occurred to anyone that every country on the terror watch list, Iran and Libya included, are all outside grasping claws of the Rothschild/Goldbar Sacks gang?  Has anyone else noticed that all these wars and 'color revolutions' are taking place in countries that don't worship at the altar of the Vatican Bank?  Hasn't anyone noticed the leash around Ben Bernanke's neck that leads directly to Baron von Rotshield's withered and decaying hand?

The only reason the banksters are screaming bloody murder about apocalypse and end-of-the-world is because if we don't keep shoveling our souls into their pockets, it will the the end times...for them.  For us, it will be the rebirth and re-awakening.  We will once again discover the joy of freedom and liberty, and be able to amass real wealth to advance our families' welfare.  We will no longer be slaves to stock markets and interest rates and funny money without ANY intrinsic value whatsoever.

The clueless OWS and Tea Parties should be chanting "Iceland or Bust!"  There should be a mass movement to destroy the Fed, unwind the banksters' tentacles and rid the world of their filth and decrepitude once and for all.  Instead, what?

Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster, claims to have been told that the US is preparing to roll out a new dollar.  It makes sense.  The constant redesigns of the US dollar over the past decade have been to destroy the image of the dollar.  People the world over know the look of the dollar and it symbolizes strength and stability.  If you want to destroy the dollar, you must destroy the symbol.  So, redesign it to look like all the other funny money in the world, so that it is no unique and looses its old status as reserve currency of choice.

This is the future.  Banksters running countries and making abject slaves of us all, forcing us into controlled communities and making us nothing more than economic units cranking out products so that rigged statistics can reflect a false growth and properity, to which we all nod and go back to work.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Or we could take a look at Iceland and decide to sweep the bastards back under the rocks from which they slithered, and then stand on the rocks to ensure such vermin never again gain purchase in the realm of free humanity.

Anyone out there a bettin' man?  What do you think the odds are that the Iceland Model will prevail?

My calculator doesn't have that many places.

Yikes Icke!

Jesse Ventura

Have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in David Icke.    I mean sure, Jesse Ventura is a bit of a bull in a china shop, and yes, the whole Navy Seal thing gets old, but c'mon!  We're all supposed to be on the same side.

The problem here is something I've seen dozens of times, and it's the reason the Bad Guys keep going, even with millions of folks waking up to their shenanegans.  In fact, so-called patriots, Constitutionalists, researchers, and what-evers always end up fighting each other instead of going after the real problem.  What generally happens is that egos get bruised, feelings get hurt, and then people start calling each other feds, or agents provacateur, or CIA plants, or Mossad, or name your poison.  To our credit, we usually save "Nazi" for whoever is in the White House.

So what set this off?  Well, Jesse is hot on the trail of reptilians, and he wanted to interview Icke, Mr. Reptilian.  Jesse barged in like the bull-headed ex-Navy, All-American bone-head that he is famous for, and Icke got his panties in a bunch and proceeded to dice the Jes-ter into little bits.  Then, to finish the job, Icke published the biting article linked at the top

David Icke

OK, so Jesse didn't do his homework, and yes, his interview style has all the depth of a crepe pan, but give the guy some morsels and let him run off and wake some more people up.  At least he's got a popular TeeVee show that gives some credibility to conspiracy theorists, and for a lot of folks, this is the first time they're hearing any of this stuff.

Jesse has his style: ex-Navy Seal, ex-wrestler, ex-governor of Minnesota, and now Mr. I Won't Stand Again.  Sure, his TeeVee show is, hmmm, sophmoric, but so are the minds that are attracted to it.  The jumpy camera  and editing, the choppy pace and melodramatic music, and the growling, grimacing Jesse at the helm.  OK, so it's not up to Limey standards, but so what?  It's having an effect in the right direction.

I mean, c'mon Icke.  You're the one who started all this reptilian stuff based on a couple of mystical experiences, and you harp on your TeeVee star background just as much as Jesse does his Seal bit.

To paraphrase Monty Python, Icke asks people to listen to him because some watery tart threw a sword at him during a farcical aquatic ceremony.  OK, so it wasn't wet swords and slimy women, but it WAS a mystical trance standing on a mound in South America for an hour.  And yes, we know your were a TeeVee star.  Told us many times.

Cuts both ways Icke.

Alex Jones

Icke goes around making 9-hour, extemporaneous speeches to packed houses while pitching his books and videos, while talking about reptilian aliens, talking crystals and Vicky's bloomers.  Ventura goes around blasting his way into things with all the subtety of a rutting ram and yelling, "The Seals are coming!"  Joseph Farrell sits in a darkened room quiety reading and assimilating thousands of years of texts and legends, and writing elegant books with fantastic and painfully footnoted claims.  Alex Jones has been causing ear-drums to bleed for two decades, telling us we're all stupid because we don't get it, and even if we do get it, it's not exactly the way HE sees it.  Jones has shot down many a good effort all because HE didn't agree with the medium of the message, but count him as one of Jesse's starry-eyed groupies.  Rense, Paul, Rockwell, Red Ice Creations, Azmon, Gunderson, Pike, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Fact is, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people trying to wake up others in their own way.  We are all blind men trying to describe an elephant.  We each are right, in our own way, but we haven't put the Big Picture together yet.  Everyone is trying to get a handle on this...whatever this is.  We are all proselytizing about how sure we are about our piece of it.  But just because I'm right doesn't make you wrong.

We've got to get past all the bickering and back-biting.  We're all in that part of the map that says, "Here Thar Be Monsters!"  Some people follow the mystics, others the charging bulls, still others the quiet cerebralists.  No one is wrong if the message brings people to the Light.

I used to the be the bull type, which pissed off a lot of folks, especially at a time when no one was ready to hear the message.  Even before Icke was dodging watery tarts throwing swords.  Now I prefer the quiet cerebral approach, partly from what I've found, and partly from what's found me.

the point here is, David ease up on Jesse.  Jesse, ease up on everyone.  Alex, we know you're right, don't need to keep beating us with it.  Ron, keep running.  Maybe one day you'll get a full TWO minutes to talk.

Ron Paul

We're all in this together.  We're all seeking and trying to make sense of the Biggest Picture any of us has ever seen, much less contrmplated.  A thousand roads lead to Rome, but they all end up at the Forum.

I remember one particular experience.  I was tootling around Europe in a rental car with some friends, and we were approaching Aachen, wanting to see Charlemagne's throne.  I was driving and my ex was barking out directions from the map, but what the map didn't readily show was that old European towns are laid out like labyrinth   You have to know just the right place to start turning and you'll end up at the square every time.

So we made three approaches and every time ended up loster 'n' a teenager on prom night.  Finally, I told everyone to be quiet and I put on some soothing music and took us back out to the edge of town.  This time a went purely on feeling, and in 10 minutes we were literally sitting in the parking lot outside the museum.

The point being, some like maps, others ask for directions, and still others go on hunches.  Doesn't matter which you prefer, as long as it works for you.  And no one is stuck in one mode.  You can change any time you like.

I like Icke.  I've gotten lots of good information and leads from his work.  His talks can be very interesting, even after 9 hours.  I like Jesse.  I like that he barges in where others fear to tread, and usually catches folks with their pants down.  Haven't really gotten anything new from him, but I appreciate that he's gotton through to a lot of folks where no one else has.  I like Alex.  Been listening for decades, and I support any fellow Texan on the right track.  Just like Ron.  I'm really hot on Farrell right now.  The man is an ace researcher and first-class intellect.

The point is, inspiration comes in many forms.  For Archemides, it was slipping into a warm bath.  For Hunter Thompson, it was phychotic breaks induced by over-consuption of booze and hallucinogens.  Martin Luther (not King), Newton, Euripedes, Pliny the Elder.  Everyone has something to add, if they are on the right road.

I get so tired of watching people, all supposedly trying to get at the truth, start tearing each other to shreds because of ego.  "If a clod be washed away by the sea, is Europe not the less."  So what if Jesse is a bone-headed Seal?  There are a lot of people who will listen because that gives him credibility.  So what if Icke sees reptiles in human disguise and got his mission in life from doing a Scully in South America.  There are people who will have their minds opened by that.

Why do the white hats keep shooting at each other when there's plenty of Rot-shills, Nutty-yahoos, Bammy-bots, and Burn-bankies out there?  I think it's safe to say none of us have all the answers, but we're getting closer if we can stop kicking each other off the May Pole for 10 minutes.

I've got a lot of respect for Hoagland, but if he twists off on another hyper-dimensional whirly-gig in the sky, I'm going to stop listening.  But I sure won't stop others from getting his message and hopefully opening their eyes just a tad bit more.

Honestly, if we can't get along, then why are we trying to wake anyone up?  

Dr. Who?

Like a plot from a cheesy (yet, quite entertaining) British TeeVee show, there's a man running around America who is quite truly INVISIBLE!

I know this seems extraordinary.  It's the plot of an H. G. Wells novel, right?  Or secret military camouflage that bends light around a soldier, causing him to 'predator' out, right?  Or maybe it's Wile E. Coyote's latest purchase from ACME...a paint that makes anything it touches unseeable?

Nope...none of those.  It's just someone speaking common sense and good economic policy.  Because of that, he has become literally the Invisible Man!

They call him Dr. No.  Or at least they used to when people could see him.  He has five kids and has overseen the birth of a thousand more.  His son became a US Senator not too long ago.  He was an Air Force flight surgeon, at one point.  He's been in Congress since 1976, riding the conservative wave that my father helped start, and which carried Reagan to the White House in 1980.

Then, an amazing transformation occured!  This man, let's call him Dr. Who, announced he was running for president.  Since then, he's been raising millions of dollars from regular people, not corporations.  He's been polling at the top of the Republican clown show, and the other night, he pulled down 57% of the MSNBC winner poll after the debate.  Romney was second with a pitiful 14%.  And yet...

He's invisible!  No headlines (Drudge excepted).  No breathless TeeVeeTalkers gushing about his hair.  No prognosticators prognosticating him into office.  Nothing.

It's absolutely amazing!  I've never seen anyone so invisible in all my life!

What we heard was Perry, Romney, Perry, Romney, Perry, Bachman, Romney, Perry...and on and on and on.

Of course, no one mentions that Rick Perry swore to Texas that he wouldn't run for president.  Then, back in the spring he went to Switzerland to meet with the Bilderbergers.  Suddenly, POOF!  He's running for president, and the Bilderbergers' personal press people (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, et al.) can't seem to think of anything else.  What an amazing thing this is!

If anyone ever had a doubt that TeeVee manipulates the world, then the plain, honest truth is in our faces, literally, right now.  Why, those bastards can literally make a man disappear right before your very eyes!  No smoke, no mirrors, no tricks of any kind.  He just simply vanished.

In his place, we have Mr. Quaff-berger.  Perry is an evil son-of-a-bitch.  Being a Texian, I'm allowed to say that, since I had to live with him until I just gave up and got out.  He wanted to jab my daughter with Guardisil, which is a bio-hazardous filth created by filth-monger Merck.  Perry tried to do that with an (get this) Executive Order!  Hahahahaha!  Like being the governor of Texas gives him any power whatsoever, much less to create laws with his Mickey Mouse #2 pencil.  The Lege (what we affectionately call the sheep-buggers in the capitol) soundly slapped him down.

Perry is the Son of Satan himself, and that he is the hand-chosen darling of the Bilderberg group, and rolls over to their command, is proof enough that he needs to quietly go away before someone makes him do it.  I'd hate to see his fragile ego dashed to pieces on the rocks of public opinion.

Because the thing is, people are waking up.  The media is losing its grip on the mass mind.  Oh, sure...they'll flog everyone with the 9/11 crap in order to try and put us back in the 'fear box', but it's not working.

In a weird plot-reversal of the Emperor's New Clothes, the only people who can't see Dr. Who are the media gods.  The rest of the good people aren't drinking the fluoride anymore.  They're all living in their cars under bridges catching rain water full of Fukushima juice.  Their pineal glands are starting to function again and they've noticed there's a tear in the curtain over off-stage from the Wizard.

The Time Lords of Gallyfree can deny it all they want, but we the real people can still see the Doctor.  He's the little guy with the white hair who keeps making sense every time he opens his mouth.  Hell, even the other candidates can just make out a shape somewhere other behind that empty podium, because they're all starting to sound like him in a desperate attempt to register on a poll somewhere.

Like Claude Rains, he may be invisible, but he still makes sounds and leaves footprints in the snow, and when you powder him up, you can make out the shape.

There's no doubt Dr. Who can win.  In fact, he's probably won before, the problem is, who's counting the votes?  If there were such a thing as free and fair elections, Dr. Who would have been president instead of that worthless Man O' Piece that's in there now.  Like Stalin said, it only matters who counts the votes, and Diebold (run by Carlyle Group which is run by Daddy Bush) will see to it that only the anointed get elected.  It's been that way since LBJ covered up JFK and knocked off RFK and MLK.  All the finger wagging and wrist slapping is just bread and circuses.

What I sincerely hope, though, is that folks take a good hard look at this last debate, and the MSNBC poll that Dr. Who ran away with, and then listen to the TeeVee.  It you see an invisible man, then maybe you have solid proof that NOTHING on TeeVee is real.  And I do mean NOTHING.  Once you take raw footage and give it to an editor, reality ceases to exist.

If you happen to notice an invisible man running around making sense on your TeeVee, then you are healthy.  Turn off the TeeVee, get plenty of rest and drink unfluoridated water.  The effect wears off after a month or so.
