Tax Man Be Damned

Marco Polo

Folks who've been around here for a while already know that I am back into a major project, thus causing my unusual silence this past week.

Never one to hold still, I am now partnering up with some good folks to bring cabaret to Jakarta - something heretofore unknown.  In fact, a search for "cabaret in Jakarta" will return one hit for one show on one night last year at a rented venue.  Well, we can't have that, so I'm going to open a new venue with original shows and create a whole new form of cabaret unique to Indonesia.

But in the meantime...

I am really cheesed off at the whole damn tax situation - not just here, but globally.  I'm even more cheesed off at those slave-minds who dribble platitudes like, "Gotta pay your fair share," and "Taxes allow the government to operate."

For the latter, one EXCELLENT reason to banish taxes altogether.  Never met a government worth the price of admission.  All they are is make-work for folks who don't create anything but paper-trails and headaches.

As for the former, I could get hopping mad about that one.  My fair share of what?  Murder, mayhem, lying, cheating, corruption, graft, and a dozen other choice accusations.

Taxes do not pay debt, they pay private corporations called "Central Banks" for the pleasure of using their money.  They can issue it in great huge piles and fast as they want to, and we all pay the price in inflation and debt service for the rest of our natural lives (and maybe beyond).

Taxes are a mechanism for social control.  They are a means to bend your personal habits to satisfy the international banksters.  They have NOTHING to do with repaying government costs or debt.  The banksters WANT us in debt, so they are happy to shovel out more cash to keep governments running.

Instead, taxes are used to force you and me to adjust our behaviors.  If the banksters don't want us to smoke, they get the governments to make new laws and raise taxes on cigarettes to make them too expensive for us little folk.

This makes sense to the banksters, not because they give a good holy damn about our health, but because nicotine protects the pineal gland - and thus the brain - from remote control through brain-wave entrainment through media and other electro-magnetic outlets (cell towers, etc.).

Beef is too healthy.  Makes us strong and all the protein builds muscle.  Can't have that, so the banksters want to raise taxes on beef until it is just too damn expensive to eat.

The one I really love is when a population starts to get too wealthy and independent, they spring all these new rules on you, or suddenly remeber rules that have been hiding for years, and then tell everyone they have to fork over penalties to shovel great piles of cash back out of the common man's hands.

This last one is especially egregious.  In Indonesia, they suddenly sprang this (obviously) little known procedure that requires everyone to file property tax receipts with their annual income tax returns.  But hey, at least they are nice about it, you have until September to fess up and pay a 2% penalty, or December to get a 3% penalty.

Keep in mind, this is NOT about paying the taxes.  When you buy a house or car here, you go down to one of the State banks and pay the VAT and get a receipt for payment, called a bukti.  No, this is all about not having attached a copy of the bukti to your annual income tax.

Considering NO ONE I know has ever done this, nor even knew it was required, everyone is running around in sack-cloth and ashes trying to figure out how to pay the penalties, which are levied against the purchase value of the property.

To call a spade a spade, this is complete and utter bullshit.

What this is - and no one in "government" will admit it - is an attempt by the banksters to cool down inflation.  Since the economy here is no longer running at a growth rate of 7%, as in years past, they need to siphon cash out of the market to cool things off, and this previously UNKNOWN regulation has been trotted out to basically yank millions of rupiah out of each and every person who owns property.

This is nothing more than social control and has nothing to do with the government's ability to pay debt or add services.  In fact, since the freakin' amnesty program started, the public services have gotten considerably worse, as if to show everyone how the poor widdle gummint can't pay to keep things going and needs to steal more money from us.

Bullshit.

Taxes are, and always have been, a means of controlling populations, from the time King George III raised the Stamp and Tea taxes and caused the American Revolution, to modern-day efforts to control out eating and smoking habits.  Taxes have nothing to do with paying government debts.

Let's take, for instance, the US.  In the first half of 2016, the US government COLLECTED a record US$1.4 trillion in taxes!  Under the Obama administration alone, the US government has collected US$20 trillion in tax revenues, while at the same time, leaving the country US$9 trillion deeper in debt.  The current US debt is US$19 trillion.  That means that Obama could have paid off the national debt and had a trillion or so left over to play with, but that's not the point, is it?

No.  If taxes were meant to pay down debt and offer public services, most countries would not have any debt.  But that's not the game the banksters play.  They want us bent over a debt barrel so they can harvest us for their pleasure.  And frankly, a government that can't operate on a trillion a year ain't worth having, is it?

By comparison, Indonesia's national debt is US$222 billion, or IDR4 quadillion, or just 27% of GDP.

It's time all these slave-minded folks who talk about "our fair share" and "supporting government services" get hog-tied and force-fed reality.

Taxes are nothing more than a control mechanism.  Since the banksters are more than happy to print money and pay national bills, for a price, and use the strings and levers of government to make us all dance to their tune, there is obviously no incentive for anyone IN government to admit they are stealing our money for nothing.  Hell, it's not even money.  It's just paper with fancy colors and pictures all over it.  It has no value at all, but what we invest int it.

Best to let the great Marco Polo, who brought the concept of paper money back from China in the 1200s, tell us all about it:

"How the Great Kaan Causeth the Bark of Trees, Made Into Something Like Paper, to Pass for Money All Over his Country: The Emperor's Mint then is in this same City of Cambaluc, and the way it is wrought is such that you might say he hath the Secret of Alchemy in perfection, and you would be right!  And the Kaan [Kublai Khan] causes every year to be made such a vast quantity of this money, which costs him nothing, that it must equal in amount all the treasure in the world.  And all the while they are so light that ten bezants' worth does not weigh one golden bezant.  Now you have heard the ways and means whereby the Great Kaan may have, and in fact has, more treasure than all the Kings in the World; and you know all about it and the reason why."

Hmmm...and who is kicking the world's economic blessed assurance these days?

As George Carlin reminds us, it's all bullshit and it's bad for you.

Reality Check

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it is time to pause and reflect."
-- Mark Twain

I find Mark Twain to be one of the genuinely great thinkers of the past three centuries.  I like him because he was able to put very complex ideas into succinct and folksy terms - none of this high-fallutin' Descarte or Kant kind of rhetoric.  Just plain, simple language that carries a truck-load of meaning.

I have lived by the quote at the top for most of my adult life, and it has rarely failed me.  I say rarely, but as I sit here, I can't think of a single instance when it failed.  I absorbed it and made it my own with a more metaphoric image: When you see everyone running one way, you should probably run the other way.

I have lost friends because I thought the whole Global Warming thing was bunk - and that was in the early 90s, before ClimateGate or folks like Piers Corbyn or Ben Davidson.  I have pretty much always thought that there is an alternative history, such as espoused by folks like Joseph P. Farrell and Graham Hancock, that was more satisfying and more accurately reflected the available facts.  The one and only time I have ever voted was when Ross Perot ran in 1992 (I believe like George Carlin that NOT voting gives me the right to bitch), and that is about as close to mainstream thinking as I can remember coming.

So when I say that I have serious reservations about Donald Trump, it comes from a long line of contrarian thinking.  If all these folks are running in his direction, there is very likely something deathly wrong here.  I said it about Obama back when he was still a patron saint and I ran a big risk of being beaten by fanatics, and I am saying it now about The Don.

To say I am a contrarian doesn't mean I am Young Bear in Little Big Man.  I don't ride horses backward or wash with dirt and dry off with water.  That is an emotional condition.  I come at it from a reasoned position, though whether my reasoning is sound or not is up to you, dear reader.

Reason #1: One of the major problems with the US government (and many others) is that it IS a corporation, run by corporations, for corporations.  The last person who should be at the helm is a corporate man who sees everything as a business problem needing a business solution.  Governments, at least real ones, are organic institutions that protect natural human beings from such dangers as soulless, conscienceless, godless corporations, whose sole existence is to subjugate humans and suck the natural and economic life out of them.  Trump said it himself, "I have never gone bankrupt - I have never."  Sure, he hasn't, but what about his CORPORATIONS, and more importantly, the PEOPLE who worked for them?  See, his artificial lifeforms have died, taking many organic people with them, but he has never been hurt by it.  Strike 1.

Reason #2: Trump's wild-ass plans will likely never come to pass.  And he knows it.  It all sounds great to a bunch of organic human beings struggling against decades of corporate subjugation, but it is all clap-trap.  Trump can't slow down the corporate exodus to Mexico and beyond, nor can he slap import taxes on the products from it, because NAFTA and soon enough TPP will already be law, and he will have to repeal such laws through a Congress that is bought-and-sold, which will never happen.  Furthermore, how does he plan to fund a massive deportation effort with a Treasury that is broke and has been since 1913?  This is all pie in the sky.  It sounds sweet to out-of-work organic human beings struggling to save their families, but do you honestly think a corporate man like Trump will kill Obamacare and prevent the Pharmas from forcing their swill down everyone's gullet?  Or will he call upon his years of experience to negotiate deals that look good to Average Joe, even as it slides the knife between the sternum and rib number 6?  Strike 2.

Reason #3: Folks seem to be flocking to Trump because he appears to be the US equivalent of Putin, but there is a world of difference between the two.  Putin's power and appeal come from a man who is educated in international law, a former leader in the KGB, a man deeply knowledgeable of his cultural roots.  Trump, on the other hand, is a hair-spray cardboard cut-out of Americana.  He has no discernible cultural background.  He has no demonstrable education in law of any kind, other than what he has picked up of local property regulations running his corporations.  In fact, other than his TeeVee personality, Trump doesn't seem to have any substance to him at all.  The deepest things he's ever said would make pond scum seem positively profound.  In fact, the most apt metaphor I can muster is that Trump reminds me of those little water sprites that literally run on the skin of a pond.  In all fairness, I have tried to find some deep insight from the man, but frankly I come up dry.  Strike 3.

I see Donald Trump as the next Ronald Reagan...all fluff and media, but very little depth and meaning.  I have even seen the word "teflon" applied to Trump, meaning we are seeing a clone of Reagan already fitting out his chair in the Oval Office.

Trump is no Putin.  Putin is a man of learning and inner strength.  Trump is a product of the media.  Putin operates from a long view of history, both Russian and global.  Trump can barely spell "history".  If America is trying to compete on the Manliness Scale with Putin, it will be a long row to hoe.

The one saving grace that I can truly enjoy about Trump is that he may save the US from Political Correctness and Feminism.  He is unapologetic about his views and doesn't appear to care who he offends.    For that, I give him a large lump of credit.  I am all for anyone who can lead the US out of its long, dark teatime of the soul, as Douglas Adams so wonderfully named it.  For America to begin healing itself, it must cast off the burden of Political Correctness, because frankly, if you breathe, someone will be offended by it.  Who cares?

Is it enough to get me excited about Trump?  No.

Trump is a symptom, not a cure.  He is the natural outcome of years worth of inorganic slime dominating the American culture (such as it is).  He is more likely to create the systemic abuses of the Reagan Era that America is still suffering from, than to correct the course of the "ship of state".

The natural follow-up question is, "Who do you think will win?"

Honestly?  Hillary.  Why?  Two reasons.  In American politics, there is a trend to keep the party in power going for 12 years, no matter how much damage it does.  Also, however much teflon Trump appears to have, that Battle Axe appears to have many more layers than he.  I mean, all the dead and dying surrounding Hillary, all the scandals and rumors, all the slime and silliness, and yet people still take her seriously.  A Trump/Hillary contest should be endlessly entertaining, but still not enough to drag me out of my voting hiatus.

I prefer to complain.

And be a contrarian.

So I can say, "I told you so."

Zombie Tools Unite!

Well, here we are: one year post-Mayan-zombie Apocalypse.  If you look around critically, you could almost believe it really happened.  The past year has been one of vast, profound and subtle shifts in the direction of history.

Global power has been shifting, sometimes like a sloth and others like a leopard, toward the East.  Increasingly, Russia and China are dictating the ways and means of the world political and economic stage.  In recent weeks, China took the lead in our celestial backyard, as it landed a rover on the Moon.

Meanwhile, the US/UK/EU axis of evil continues to live up to its name, having been revealed (yet again over the past 45 years) to be spying on everyone on the planet, including itself.  For some reason, everyone was shocked, or feigning such for the cameras.  It was hardly a surprise, as anyone who has been awake and reading the reams of laws passed in the last few decades would know this system was at work.  Looks like we've all been Snowdened.

Anyone who thinks they have privacy after posting their life histories, scads of photos and hot chats all over the social media deserves it.  It's akin to taking out a billboard on Times Square and then being shocked that anyone recognizes you walking down the street.  Remember back in the old days when people used screen names?

The Brits added another mouth to its royal tax burden, and then began protesting the tax rates there.  Bit o' news, mates.  You're subjects owned lock, stock and barrel.  Fork it over or get rid of the ridiculous pretention of a royal family.  You're paying for the trappings of empire, without the empire.

Global warming continues to be the world's biggest non-issue.  Those who created extravagant business models based on social guilt keep trying to milk it, with movies, TeeVee and Olympic ceremonies pushing a dead issue, while temps haven't risen in 16 years, polar ice caps are growing and deadly winters are becoming the norm.  Liberal agendas always seem to blow up in their faces.  Ever notice that.

Speaking of which...Obamacare.  Nuff said.

Liberals are the biggest hypocrites to be found.  They blather on about "diversity" as long as they don't have to live with xenotypes.  They beat their breasts over "equality", as long as their chosen groups are more equal.  They jet around the globe and ride in limos and own massive mansions while droning endlessly on about the "environment".  Basically, a liberal is anyone who wants you to change your lifestyle so they don't have to.

Oh, and that whole Kuumbaya rubbish about humanity coming from Africa so we can all feel downtrodden because most African nations are so corrupt and full of thieves that they continuously destroy themselves?  Modern genetics has proven beyond a doubt that it is false.  Looks like most of us came from Australia.  G'day, mate! Kind of a weird poetic beauty to that idea.  The Aboriginals I know are way more cool than most of the Africans of my acquaintance.  Take Obama, for instance...

At least conservatives are blatantly open about the prejudices, greed and hatred of all that isn't incorporated.  I can respect honesty, even when both the message and messenger are equally despicable.

The whole damn civilization is fraying and frazzled, and covered stem to stern with bubblegum and bailing wire.  Can't say I'm sad to see it go.  It's kind of like gangrenous flesh - you've got to carve it out before the healing can begin.  It's just a horribly slow and painful process at the scale of a planet.

You'd think after 6,000 years of starting governments and then living to regret the idea very much, humanity would have learned.  It is apparent that we are a masochistic species hell-bent on operating in our own worst interests come what may.

At any rate, Aquarius continues to dawn.  The year of the yin wood green horse is coming up.  The numerical value of the coming year is 7, which a lot of folks call lucky.  Maybe we'll get lucky and squeeze the big boil on the rump of the world and start the recovery for real.

In the immortal words of Shakespeare, "Jail all the bankers!"  Or was that Sven Joergensohn?  I get the two confused.

Agents Gone Wild!

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and call the US election three weeks early.  Here goes...no matter who wins, we all lose.  I'm willing to bet good money that I'm right, too.

Doesn't really matter though.  The US government is in deep trouble and it's starting to show openly.  The most recent 'tell' is a poor, dumb patsy named Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis.  In case you don't recognize the name, he's the guy who was arrested for trying to blow up the Federal Reserve with a fake bomb that the FBI gave him.

Why is this a 'tell'?  Because when governments become so useless as to be ignored and reviled by pretty much everyone, they start attacking themselves to make us believe that someone still takes them seriously.

The image we should have firmly in mind here is the hilarious scene in "Liar Liar" where Jim Carrey beats himself up.  In fact, the US government has become such a joke that it must set up delusional college kids as would-be bombers in order to get people to rally 'round the flag.

Only...it didn't work.  No one cared.  In fact, secretly, most people were wishing the poor sap had succeeded.  The plot was so...ahem...transparent that even the most die-hard fascists could see right through it.

Quazi (Moto?) is a doe-eyed student from Bangladesh who was given a visa by the government, then 'recruited' by undercover government agents, who worked hard to convince this guy that he was very important to "al-Qaeda".  He was then brainwashed into thinking a bunch of putty and wires in a box, that were furnished by government agents, were a powerful bomb, and that he...Quazi...would be a great hero to the cause when he blew up the Federal Reserve.  Never mind there are 12 Reserve banks across the country and blowing up one of them hardly puts a crimp in the system.

So here we have homeland 'security' creating terror plots to justify its bloated bureaucracy.  We have the CIA importing drugs so the DEA can bust them to justify its swollen budget.  We have the BATF giving guns to Mexican criminals so it can justify its useless ranks.  We have the US State department riling up Muslim countries to justify the obscene military expenditures and military interventionism.  We have the NSA cyber-attacking itself to justify the massive Big Brother surveillance apparatus.

About the only government agency that isn't creating its own problems is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is busily lying its pants off to cover up a real problem and keep the current batch of chosen criminals in office.

In the end, what the world is saddled with is a multi-trillion dollar pink elephant that has so little to do it must brainwash 21-year-old Bangladeshi students into thinking they can actually have an effect on the global problem with a fake bomb plot against the Federal Reserve.

Oh, let's not forget that this helps legitimize the Federal Reserve by making it seem important enough to actually bomb.  Frankly, its such a useless institution that bombing it would be a waste of good explosives.  I mean, this story sounds like a rejected plot from "24", or something.

It's getting to the point where the US government is so desperate for someone to take it seriously that it will actually have to inflict damage on itself to get anyone's attention.  By inflicting damage, I mean more than just the usual Keystone Kops routine that passes for governance in Washington D.C. these days.

The scary part is that this is the point where governments get really dangerous.  More than usual, that is.  When governments find themselves becoming irrelevant, they set about manufacturing reasons to take them seriously.  And the more irrelevant they become, the more spectacular the events they manufacture.

It's a lot like the behavior of your average 2-year-old.  As a child ages, the people around them pay less and less special attention to them.  At some point, the child lashes out in a series of tantrums in order to get adults to refocus.  The tantrums tend to escalate over time until they reach the threshold of adult tolerance.  And this is the point at which we find the US government.

Having run rough-shod over the world for the past 70 years, it now finds itself out of date and unimportant to contemporary global concerns.  Like any institution, the large it grows, the more calcified it becomes, and thus the less willing and able it is to change.  No longer lean and lithe, the US government has become its own worst enemy.  It can no longer adapt because any little change upsets the myriad fiefdoms that now dominate the internal structure.

In a land were jobs are just a little tight right now, who wants to lose their cushy pay check, three-weeks' paid vacation, life/health/vision/dental insurance, and a much-better-than-average pension after 20 years of warming a chair?  In a situaltion like this, government agencies will do, and are doing anything to keep the circus rolling, no matter how ludicrous or destructive it is to the rest of the world.

Why do you think so many politicians are multi-generational blood suckers, including the Romneys, the Pauls, the Bushes, the Roosevelts, heck even the Adamses way back at the beginning.

You know, if I were Quazi's defense attorney (assuming he isn't whisked off to Guantanamo without trial), I would argue that my client was de facto deputized as a government agent, acting on behalf of the US government on a government-sanctioned operation.  In fact, my client was specifically recruited and supplied by government agents, so to indict my client is to indict the US government.  Thus, under Title 18 USC, militia code, my client is innocent on the grounds that he was assisting a government investigation into the activities of terrorists among the ranks of the FBI.  I would even call the various heads of the appropriate agencies to testify.

It won't happen, of course.  The guy will plead innocent on the grounds of entrapment and the jury will find him guilty and he'll rot in prison without a real hearing on the matter.

And hey!  All those useless eaters with badges can say they're doing their jobs to keep America "safe".

Such a deal!
===============================
This is a prime example of the idiots defending America...

Got Yer Global Warming Hangin'

This one is going to be particularly politically incorrect, but I have a rather long and meaty middle finger for anyone who doesn't like it.

I'm bone tired of the whole 'global warming' argument. Even people I consider to be relatively intelligent have been completely snowed under by this piece of mental refuse.  It's time, as the Indonesian's say, to buang air besar.  Time to let rip the Big One.

If, and not that I am using the first conditional here, IF the Earth is warming, so what?!

Let's see...Greenland, the Northern Territories, the Alaskan Tundra, and Siberia thaw.  Great!  More arable land, more places to grow crops, more food for Humanity.  Anyone in the audience think that's a bad thing?

Next, more evaporation.  Well, let's see...the central US in the throes of a drought, so more atmospheric moisture might be a good thing.  Right?  And with all the hand-wringing over rising sea levels, more and faster evaporation may be the answer, right?  Who knows?  We may even get to find out what's at the bottom of Lake Vostok without having to drill.  Save a few shekels and have new beachfront property to sell.  Complaints?  Didn't think so.

Now, recently some idiot who has never studied history has published a study showing that temperatures in a very narrow field of study have risen ever so slightly.  I will not give this idiot attention by mentioning his name or linking to his work, because idiots like this should be kept in dark padded rooms, not given encouragement.

At any rate, this idiot cites the fact that global temperature records have shown a very slight rise in average temperatures since 1753.  He says this is responsible for all the ills of the world and has been caused by the activity of humanity.

First, let me say that anyone who thinks that the activities of a few billion humans on Earth doesn't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to affecting massive complex systems like Earth's biosphere.  To think otherwise is to be a megalomaniac of such proportions as to require institutionalization post haste.  Sorry to burst your ego, but we ain't all that.

Second, within reasonable parameters, all living things require heat in order to grow and thrive.  It is no mistake that the greenest, lushest parts of the Earth lie along the equator, where it is presumably the hottest year-round.  Since I live on the equator, I think I am uniquely qualified to say, guess what, heat is good.

All dynamic systems require the input of energy.  Thus, in order to grow and thrive, life on Earth requires heat in order to expand.  Granted, there can be too much, like Venus, though the jury is still out, since no craft has landed with the tools to search for life.  The big hinderance?  Atmospheric PRESSURE and hydrosulphuric accid clouds.  But don't let that pop you ego bubble.

Third, the greatest explosion of human creativity and achievement has taken place since 1753.  The Enlightenment, the American Revolution, the rise of the nation state and republics, the end of slavery, the invention of computers, the landings on the Moon.  All that took place in the narrow window of human history that is also labeled as the Age of Global Warming.

Here's my thought.  Instead of human activity causing global warming, suppose global warming has caused the explosion in human creativity and achievement.  That'll put a little twist in your Wheaties, won't it?

In fact, I'm willing to go out on a limb here.  I'd be willing to bet that if global temps were plotted against the greatest achievement of humans in the same time period, that the temps would slightly lead major breakthroughs.  I'd also be willing to bet that the reason we haven't seen such a graph is specifically because them what we call the 'elites' don't want us to see such things.  Going even further, I'd be willing to bet that slavery, serfdom and general oppression occur within the periods of low overall temps, such as the Black Death, the Middle Ages and the like.

Certainly, based on the idiot's data, the explosion of human creativity and overall well-being of our species seems to coincide quite nicely with the highs in temps, though lagging slightly, meaning the temps drove the bursts of humanity, rather than the opposite.

What was that?  The rainforests are the lungs of the planet?  Well, since you've never lived in the rain forest, you can be forgiven for not knowing that the forest grows back as fast as, if not faster, than you can cut it.  Also, forests only absorb CO2 and give off O2 in daylight hours.  At night, they release CO2 just like the rest of us, negating any positive effect they have on the overall atmosphere.

Ergo, the only reason global warming is an issue is because it causes bursts of human activity, usually against the desires of the global elite.  Furthermore, it makes vast amounts of land available to farming that is otherwise frozen waste, thus feeding the masses and lowering food prices.  Also against the deepest desires of tghe global elite.

The only reason we are being made afraid of global warming is because 'they' are afraid of it.  They can't stand the idea of us having ideas, and having enough food and places to live outside overcrowded cities and taxed infrastructure.  'They' like us to suffer and die, because then we don't threaten 'their' domain.

'They' are a bunch of inbred morons and 'they' can not abide the fact that even the anacephalic babies are smarter than 'their' best offspring.  Add to that global warming and higher food availability and the extra brain power that goes with warmer climes, and the 'close cousins' are out of a job, as they have
  been in every epoch when global temps have risen.

At one point in Earth's history, the temps were far warmer than they are now.  We call that time the Cretaceous Period.  It produced a world lush with vegetation and beasts the size of buildings.  To hear some tell it, their remains are what we burn to run our society. 

And we're supposed to be terrified of that kind of burst of growth and vitality.  We are supposed to cower from the thought of vast amounts of food, where we don't have to shiver in front of the fire and fear going outside because we'll freeze in our tracks.  We're supposed to dread a globe in which humans are empowered and energized and don't put up with being slaves and serfs.

You want to fear global warming?  Here's your shackles.  You want to join the global energy surge and burst of creativity?  Don't listen to the idiots.

Climate change only means status quo change.  Status quo change means the 'elite' are set back another 200 or 300 years in their ongoing plans to take over the world.  You know what?

Screw 'em.

I'll take the warming and the explosion of ideas and inventions over their small-minded global kindergarten any day.

Pieces Of God

Woo Hoo!  'Scientists' 'may' have found 'something' that 'resembles' a theoretical particle called a 'Higgs boson'.t

Stop the friggin' presses!  End the wars!  The banking crisis is ended!  Dogs and cats living together!

Give me a break.

Even IF 'they' have found the Higgs boson, what difference will it make in our everyday lives?  Will it cure cancer, end hunger and change the human condition?  Will it provide a simple, pollution-free power source?  Will it turn deserts into jungles or provide affordable housing for the poor?

Didn't think so.

All this hubbub is nothing more than nerd wet dreaming and make-work for a bunch of head-scratchers who couldn't think of any other way to make a living that contributes to making humanity better.  In fact, the whole CERN thing is a complete waste of billions of euro and years of effort if all it is supposed to do is find the Higgs boson.  So we have to assume that it has some nefarious purpose from which you and I will never benefit.

A few miles south of CERN, warships are gathering, daily slaughters are being carried out, and an entire group of people have been trying since 1948 to regain the homeland they had for thousands of years, and which was stolen from them by UN decree and a group of REAL terrorists.

All this 'god particle' rubbish is nothing more than public consumption science that leads nowhere, designed specifically to keep us ignorant of the real thing...the science that people like Maxwell and Tesla were working on.  It's just lipstick on a pig whose sole job it is to keep us all in the dark and chasing our tails.

Our first clue is that something so useless is gobbling up mainstream headlines.  You can pretty much rely on the fact that anything receiving this much attention in the corporate media is a psy-op aimed at throwing as many folks down the wrong path as possible.

Don't get me wrong.  CERN does have its real purpose.  The fact that they are counter-spinning two streams of proton plasma to speeds that are an appreciable factor of lightspeed is trying, if not succeeding, in creating some hyperdimensional effect.  Crashing the two streams into each other to make cute pictures of curly-cues is the part we get to consume.

Rotating plasma, though, is the real goal.  That's the secret behind all other secrets.  That's the thing that could truly change the direction of Mankind.

Few people know that film director Brian de Palma had a brother named Bruce who was a physicist.  Bruce discovered that spinning things at high velocity and launching them made them fly higher and faster.  According to public consumption science, that shouldn't happen.

There's no 'known' reason why the Sun's magnetic field twists up into knots and causes things like flares and CMEs, except that it is a giant spinning ball of plasma.  Nobel laureate Hannes Alven found evidence of massive plasma currents everywhere he looked in the Universe.  Even lightning itself is a spinning torrent of plasma, and we know how powerful that it.

So, to hear that CERN is counter-spinning streams of plasma just to find some 'god particle', you can bet that it's bullshit, pure and simple.

The 'god particle' is for the consumption of us little people.  It's the justification we were given for taking our hard-earned money and literally sinking it in the ground.  Of course, they had to find 'something' that 'looks like' the 'god particle' in order to make us all feel like we were part of changing history.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

We've been showered with sub-atomic crap to hide from us the real science behind CERN and other projects like it.

Anyone who is familiar with the film genius of Terry Gilliam will know the movie "Time Bandits".  In it, the ultimate evil dude tempts our heroes to their doom with the "most fabulous object in the world".  Like a twisted game show host, Evil hypnotizes the gang into chasing dreams and phantoms, while simple truth is hidden behind all the glitz and glitter.

The Higgs boson is nothing more than the "most fabulous object in the world", and we are being hypnotized into chasing it, though it has no value in our lives whatsoever.  Too bad, because the real science is so much more interesting and promising: free energy, trips to the Moon for lunch, the ability to engineer solar systems.

But then, given our track record with nuclear power, its probably best to keep it hidden for now.  Until we the people learn to say 'no' to the PTB and take back our power and our freedom, we don't really derseve such nifty science.

Running Out Of (E)Steam

One of my favorite Indonesian sayings is, "Sayap-sayap patah terbang kembali."  It simply says, "Broken wings return to flight."  I am proof of that. 

While hiking in the jungle over the weekend, it rained and turned the ubiquitous Java clay into glass.  I slipped and landed square on my elbow, jamming my shoulder right good.  As I lay in the mud staring up at the three monkeys staring down at me, they looked at one another as if to say, "And they call themselves primates?"

After a thorough massage, visit to the doctor, three X-rays and a compress of the nastiest, smelliest arak I've yet come across, I can sit here and assault the world with more of my ramblings.  And so, with a cup of fine java (pun intended) in hand, let us launch into another round, since I've had several days to muse over a dozen topics.

In the past couple of days, I've listened to some fine interviews with Gerald Celente on Coast-to-Coast, and Ian R. Crane on Red Ice Radio.  Two very well-spoken gentlemen expounding on all matters economic, which naturally led me to think about psychology.  Makes sense, right?

At any rate, what I've decided is that psychology is the root of all problems in our current mess we call society.  In fact, you can trace the roots directly to Freud and Maslow from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th. 

Freud, of course, turned all of humanity into perverted mother lovers whose most noble deeds were nothing more than attempts to breed.  Maslow went further with his Hierarchy of Needs to ascribe all motivations to basic animal desires, with self-awareness a distant bastard child of sex, housing and food.

Psychology was a natural marriage with advertising, and advertising is just a mild form of propaganda.  With psychology defining the human mind and basic motivations, the Madison Ave. types jumped on it to twist us into consuming robots.  Hitler and his gang further perfected the techniques to chain the individual's perception of self-worth to the glory of the State.

Psychology has spent the last century and a half figuring out ways to break the Mind down into constituent parts and rebuild it in the image of Corporatism, and it has worked brilliantly, if not seditiously.  A great number of people any more are little more than empty shells with magical paper in their pockets running wildly around buying up any old gee-gaw thrust in their faces.

Psychology starts on the false assumption that any human being can honestly understand the mind of any other human being.  That wasn't enough, though.  It went on to propose that it could train certain high priests to be able to diagnose and cure 'abnormalities' in thinking.  I mean, honestly, they believe that.

Going back to Hitler, he was a vegetarian, artist, writer, and rabid anti-smoker: all qualities that goofy 'liberals' drool over.  He rebuilt a destroyed nation and within five years, turned it from abject poverty to an industrial giant that took the combined efforts of a major part of the world's nations to stop.  How does psychology explain that this man was also one of the cruelest, most heartless mass murders in history?

Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" is a brilliant exploration of the psychology behind a character who seemingly had it all: wealth, power, possessions.  Yet, we are led to conclude that at his core, he was driven by the lack of love from a cold, heartless mother.  But that hardly seems to add up to a highly complex mind with diverse interests and a desire to influence millions.

In the end, psychology can not answer the one question it purports to, and that is to find a formula for human activity and motivation.  What it has found, though, is multiple ways to manipulate emotions and especially guilt in order to force people into desired behavior patterns.

Take, for instance, ads that promote soaps that whiten and brighten.  The commercials usually have two women, both married judging by the rings on their fingers, eyeing each other's whites.  The woman with the dingiest whites is made to feel guilt and envy at the brightness of the other woman's laundry.  No one mentions that fact that no one other than the wife should be looking at her husband's underwear, so what difference does it make?  But the seed is planted.

Another fine example is ads for luxury sports sedans.  We are shown a well-dressed man sitting at the wheel blazing down a mountainous road.  We are led to conclude that we have not 'made it' until we can plant ourselves in that driver's seat.  We clamor to finance our way into that seat, regardless of whether we can afford it, because we want to possess that image.  In other words, we are encouraged to chase ghosts in order to achieve self-esteem.

And that brings us to the crux of the issue: self-esteem.  It seems like so much is made of self-esteem.  In schools all over the world, children are given prizes just for waking up in the morning.  There is no achievement or actual victory.  There is only the shell of it.

Through the process of mental manipulation, we have been led to think that self-esteem is the Holy Grail of psychological health.  No one seems to question the fact that self-esteem is just an empty pride that is easily destroyed.  In fact, little Johnny, who has been pumped full of self-esteem all through school, can be destroyed in minutes in the real world.  Once his self-esteem is destroyed by reality, he will do anything for anyone in order to feel fulfilled again.  He can be made to buy anything, do anything, that will puff up his self-esteem.

The real counterpart to self-esteem is self-respect.  Self-respect, unlike its hollow cousin, is very hard to destroy.  Self-respect is generated from within, not from outside.  It is not bestowed through image or objects.  It is the feeling of worth and dignity.  It is the unshakable belief that one has value by virtue of one's humanity.  It is inherent in existence and needs no reinforcement from outside sources.

Self-esteem requires constant feedback from others.  It is based solely on external factors to exist.  It must be fed constantly by variables that are almost completely outside the control of the individual.  It forces the individual to constantly buy the latest gee-gaw or fashion in order to receive adulation from those who would not otherwise care a whit.

Self-respect, on the other hand, is fed from within.  It exists regardless of external circumstances.  It allows one to feel a sense of value, whether dressed in rags or the latest Prada designs.  Self-respect is the bane of Madison Ave., because that person can not be shamed into spending money they don't have to buy things they don't need in order to receive empty praise.

It is the difference between 'poor' and 'broke'.  Poor is a state of mind brought on by self-esteem.  One is poor if one succumbs to hopelessness brought about by the inability to receive praise.  Broke is a temporary state of being that can be cured with a little hard work and ingenuity, and success reinforces the sense of one's value as a human being, regardless of whether anyone else notices.

Self-respect is not a commodity that can be bought, sold and manipulated.  Self-esteem is.  This is the Great Lie perpetrated by Madison Ave., aided and abetted by psychology.  It is the one achievement of psychology that can be directly traced to the core of society's ills at this point in time.  By reducing us to self-esteem junkies, we can be made to follow any trend, buy any object, believe any lie, as long as it continues to re-inflate the leaky balloon we call Self.

In Bernard Shaw's great play, "Caesar and Cleopatra," there is a subtle juxtaposition between self-esteem and self-respect.  The aging caesar requires the love and attention of the young Cleopatra to puff up his flagging self-esteem.  He sees himself as losing his manhood due to age.  Caesar's scribe Britannus, however, requires only the knowledge that he has done the best he can at a task, regardless to what ignominy he must stoop to achieve it.

In other words, all of Caesar's achievements in conquering the known world can not fill his need for outside confirmation, while Britannus only needs the knowledge that he achieved his goal to feel worth.  Self-esteem and self-respect.

The New Renaissance of our society and culture will be based on this simple reversal of view.  If we generate our feelings of worth from within, rather than needing talismans of value, then we will quite easily conquer what ails us.

Think of the "Wizard of Oz".  The scarecrow performed feats of intelligence without a degree.  The tin man showed profound emotion and caring without a heart.  And the lion displayed extreme courage despite his fear.  They did all this from inner strength, not from accolades and accoutrement.

As long as we allow society's institutions to control us through fear, guilt and self-loathing, then we will continue to be slaves to them.  In restoring our innate self-worth, we will conquer the evil that is destroying our world without a single act of violence.  It starts by tuning out the psychological warfare being perpetrated on us through the media.  It finishes by realizing that we are all God's Creatures with value beyond calculation by virtue of our existance.

As Britannus said, "In war, we paint ourselves blue, so that though our enemies may strip us of our clothes and our lives, they can not strip us of our responsibility."

You figure it out.

Uncle Fraud And Aunt Perfidy

Must have been too quiet over there in Afghanistan.  Either that, or the US wasn't ready to go home and needed more excuses to stick around and bomb caves and goat herders.

First, it was the Koran burning incident.  Now, think about it.  If they had put the books in a bag and taken them to the dump and burned them with the weekly trash pile-up, no one would have been the wiser.  Instead, it was done in such a way as to make worldwide headlines.  Obviously, this was an intentional act of provocation.

But it didn't stir up enough backlash.

So, a soldier is ordered to go out and mow down some women and children in their homes.  That seems to be doing the trick.  It has stirred up a hornet's nest over there.  Of course, the completely screw-ball excuse being floated is that the man had a 'brain injury'.  First question: why is he still there and not at the military hosptal in Germany?  Second question: if he had a brain injury, why was he issued a weapon and allowed to leave base with a loaded weapon?  Third question: why is the US hell-bent on making as many enemies as it can, especially amongst Muslims?

Obvious conclusions: the US is the real terrorist organization, and it ain't finished cremating the Middle East yet.

The whole troop withdrawal thing was nothing more than an election year ploy, and by stirring up fresh hatred and opposition, they can justify keeping boots on the ground and still get the propaganda boost of being ready to come home.  What a farce.

In fact, there are a lot of farces going around these days.  The whole KONY 2012 (link intentional not given) thing reeks of psy-op.  I managed to choke down about 8 minutes of it before I had to cut it off.  This is so plainly an attempt to stir up 'invade Africa' sentiment that I can hardly believe anyone is falling for it.

China has spent the last ten years, while the US was dipping Iraqi fingers in purple ink, winning hearts and mines (sic) across the Dark Continent.  Unlike the West, which has used deceit and subterfuge to literally steal the mineral wealth of Africa, the Chinese have been trading roads, bridges and power plants for energy, rare earth and timber.  Naturally, the local folk are gravitating towards them, and the West needs an excuse to do what it does best...bomb, slay and steal...to put an end to the Oriental Express.

The whole KONY thing just drips with one of those slick 'save the children' tear-jerkers with Archie Bunker's daughter, only instead of ostensibly feeding kids, the goal is to bomb them for financial gain.  Yup, when I see a slick 30-minute video with high production value that runs about $50k to $100k to produce, my spidey-sense starts a-twitchin'.

Then there's the whole Bammy farce.  Sheriff Joe found probably cause for outright fraud and forgery of government documents that supposedly establish the man's identity.  LapDog Media response?  s-i-l-e-n-c-e  But don't worry, at least Pravda picked up the story.  And what does Pravda mean in English?  Oh yeah, "truth".

But hey, give the man a break.  He's been busy justifying killing and secretly detaining American citizens, stirring up fresh fighting in Afghanistan, and finding ways to keep gasoline prices down for the wage slaves at home.

The one thing that I've really been keeping an eye on though is Ron Paul.  Oh sure, everyone has written him off and the media have redoubled their efforts to ignore him, but I think a lot of folks are going to be surprised come the Convention.

See, Paul learned something from my dad.  Dad had a plan to run for prez one day, if Nixon hadn't killed his dream.  He knew that the primary voting was just window dressing.  All the hype and hollering is nothing more than a popularity contest, and means absolutely nothing in the end.

The key is getting delegates, and that is done in the caucuses.  I'll use my native Texas as an example.  During the day, folks go to the polls and pull the lever (or tap the screen now) and that tallies up how everyone feels, but does not select a single delegate.  That part is done after the polls close and the two or three people who know about it show up to choose delegates to the precinct convention.  At that convention, they select delegates to the district convention.  At that event, they select delegates to the state convention.  At that level they select delegates to the national convention.  At the national convention, they nominate the candidate.

Newtneyrum can win every vote in Texas, all three or four million of them, and not get a single delegate.  The media and Newtneyrun are blindly focused on the popularity contest, but Paul is focused on the caucuses.  His supporters are packing the caucuses and making sure the true believers are sent to each level of the convention process.  He could conceivably sweep the national convention without ever having won a single state popularity contest.

That's what happens when people believe the bullshit that America is a democracy and not a republic.  That's also why they stopped teaching civics in high school and no one ever talks about the real election process.  Ignorance elects idiots.

The fraud is at every level and everywhere.  And right about now, it is particularly thick and sticky.  Why, just yesterday, Drudge had a headline: Tel Aviv in ruins after Iran attacked.  If you look at the words, it implies that it had already happened.  I even got fooled into clicking.  Turned out to be a Mossad hit piece, but banner headlines like that are pure fraud, plain and simple.  Not that one should be surprised when the Mossad is involved.  They can't even find their ass with both hands when it comes to truth.

One must be extra careful in filtering the news.  It's best to read several international rags and compare stories.  I'm figuring that the average of 5 or 6 rags from each continent is about as close to truth as we're ever likely to get.  To facilitate your efforts, check out ThePaperBoy.com..  And watch out for any publications with the words "Times" or "Herald Tribune" in it.  Most likely pure, unadulterated, no artificial coloring bullshit.

Beware The Ides Of October

Can you smell it?

That's the smell of bullshit.  It's the odor of the Man of Peace getting his bloodlust up again.  The idiots are doing everything they can to pick a fight with Iran, especially now that the Fast and Furious fiasco is quickly going to pieces.  Gotta change the subject before it gets too close to Man O' Peace himself.

Need another excuse to frame up Iran using the Saudi ambassador?  The Palestinian UN vote.  They need a distraction to stop that steam roller in its tracks.  You see, on October 1, 1948, the UN promised to recognize the Palestinian state.  They lied.  The Palestinians have been a tad upset since then.  Israel can't afford to let that happen.

The SS Hill-arious calls it a possible act of war.  Hahahaha!  Guess she forgot about the US killing their nukes scientists, launching viruses into their reactor control systems, blockading their ports, invading their neighbors without provocation or legal basis, setting up the Shah, etc.  Seems to me that it is the Anglo-American Empire which has committed multiple acts of war spanning decades, if not centuries.  Iran has shown remarkable poise and patience, so  far...

Why the Saudis?  Bad blood with Iran (Shi'a and Sunni thing) and they're the Mideast lapdogs of the Anglo-American Empire.  After all, it was Lawrence of Arabia who helped to set up Faisal as king of all he surveyed, and cleaned out the Turks as a sign of good faith.  Iran is also one of the prime backers of Palistine independence.

Iran is also the last major wildcard in the Mideast.  They are as likely to back the Chinese as anyone else.  Certianly, they're in bed with the Russians, who have hitched their wagon to the Chinese.

If you've ever played the game Risk, then you know the whole Mideast region is the most costly to win and the hardest to hold.  And it's the key to choking off the Far East threat.

If that's not all, one can detect the distinct reek of banksters here.  There's some kind of Big Thing brewing and it's going to pop soon.  You can see it in the complete insanity of trading in the past couple of weeks.  The EU is falling apart in slow motion and the next play is in motion.

If you squint just right, you can detect the Hidden Hand tightening the vice, squeezing the last dregs of juice out of the western economies.  They're setting up the final push, or is that putsch.  The fatal flaw here is that the bankster class has become so maniacal, so impressed with their own power, so entranced with their slick marketing, that they have blinded themselves to reality.  They think they create reality, so they don't see that big slavering beast called Justice sneaking up on their flank.

They've put their agents in the midst of the Occupy Wall Street crowds, using change agents to instigate mind-control techniques.  It's very similar to the methods the Man O' Peace used in his campaign, or that TeeVee preachers use to sway crowds.  You can see it in the YouTube videos of the strange group hypno-chants and the strange 'People's Microphone' technique.  They're pulling out the stops.

OWS crowd is already lost.  Don't try to save them.  They're too deep under.

Watching the US presidential debates is a curious pastime.  The candidates seem listless and resigned to Fate.  They aren't coming up with solutions, just platitudes.  It's the exact same ritual, text and verse, as every other election.  Spend more money.  Create more programs.  Bomb more brown skins.  The only one even approaching real issues and real answers is completely invisible.  In fact, that's how you know you should vote for him, because the establishment is terrified of him.

And meanwhile, the media treat the whole thing like some perverse horse race.  They call the action like Derby Day at Dover.  The only thing they don't see, at least as far as us rubes are concerned, is who the jockeys are.  Solution: candidates should be made to wear jumpsuits like race car drivers, with sponsor logos on them.  That way, we can all see who we're really hearing from, and who we're really voting for.

Still more clues?  David Cameron wants to change the way folks get to be king/queen in England.  He's going on and on about how boys and girls are all equal now (coulda fooled me), so why do boys get special treatment when it comes to sittng in the Big Chair?  One has to ask one's self, why this, why now?  One thing is apparent.  No one wants Chuckles to be king, including Mumsie-poo.

Then there's the Canary Islands.  Kind of like a canary in the coal mine, isn't it?  In case you're not up on your geology/geography, the islands sit off the coast of Spain, and the entire side of one island is poised to slide off into the Atlantic.  The sheer mass of rock involved would kick up a wave of biblical proportions.  And guess what?  Volcanoes, earthquakes, dogs and cats living together!  Won't take much to start the avalanche.

The really strange news?  Two Amtrak trains collided in California!  First of all, Amtrak's still around?  Second, they have trains in California?  Will miracles never cease?

Just a couple of hours ago, there was a 6.3 quake in Bali.  Just spoke with my bud in that area, who reports a pretty good lurch around noon and an minor aftershock at 4pm (local time).  Doesn't seem to be a lot of structural damage, but 50 people hurt ain't child's play.

And so the craziness goes on.  The events are coming hot and heavy, and most of it is pure BS.  The elite want to keep us either doped or off-center, so we can't mount an effective defense.  What they never plan for is Universe's little jokes.  The great monkey wrench in the sky has a way of mucking up the best laid plans of mice and men.

The beat goes on.  Sometimes I wish we could just hurry up and get on with it, but at other times, I default to the status quo, since the devil you know is better...sometimes.

Certainly, if the Man O' Peace is willing to sell guns to drug cartels, hoping that they'll kill Americans so he can use it to futher his agenda, he's capable of anything.  Oh, that's right, he's already killed two Americans by remote control, not to mention all the poor soldiers totin' the barges.

It's the old alchemical razzle-dazzle...black is white, up is down, war is peace.

Heck, the word apokalyptos means 'revelation.'  The revealing of something that is hidden.  In other words, anyone who tries to generate fear of an apocalypse is trying to prevent something hidden from being revealed.  So churches and the elite have spent centuries telling us to FEAR the apocalypse, when in fact we should all be working FOR it.  After all, it's about damn time some of this hidden crap gets a little daylight.  The apocalypse would be a GOOD thing.  See how they control us?

Onward through the fog...

A Whiff Of Adolf

What to make of the news?  NATO claims to be encircling Tripoli and is moving in for the kill.  The 'rebels' have announced the capture of Qaddafi's son and heir-apparent.  We are told that it's just hours now before Libya falls and Qaddafi is in the hands of the banksters.

I worked long enough in news to develop a sort of 'news nose'.  I can usually smell BS a mile and a half away, and I'm catching the strong whiff of it right now.

The part that has me sitting on the fence that this is a huge gamble, even for folks so used to lying they don't know truth when they trip over it.  To go out on a limb and claim victory when it ain't even close is a pretty big risk.

But then I flash back to GW Shrub standing on the carrier flight deck in his nifty jumper, that he was too drunk to wear in real combat, as he declares "Mission Accomplished" a few months after invading Iraq.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we still there 10 years later?  TEN YEARS?!  Half a generation?  For a victory already accomplished?

I just have this feeling that something ain't kosher in the mosque.  If in fact, NATO and their mercenaries have truly made it to Tripoli and are in the process of taking the capitol, then my gut says that Qaddafi has a welcome gift for them somewhere in the city.

What all this really gets me to pondering are the similarities to Hitler and the Third Reich.  When he marched into Poland in '39, Europe and really the rest of the world adopted an appeasement policy towards Germany. After all, commies were Hitler's Arab terrorists.  He used them to invade Europe and Russia, as well as blaming the Reichstag fire on them.  He also claimed parts of Poland as ancestoral German homeland that needed reclaiming.

Fast-forward 3/4s of a century, and all this Mid East stuff just smacks of 'replay'.  One must remember that in the early days, the US and UK were big supporters of Hitler.  The Bush family (of US presidential infamy) were even convicted by Congress of giving 'aid and comfort'.  Certainly, the queen's daddy and FDR and even Churchill were pretty much hands-off.  Hitler had free run, until his Big Mistake.

I know what your thinking (holocaust, Russian winter, etc.), but no.  He decided to create a debt-free money system, based on labor/output of the German people.  In other words, he stopped dancing with those what brung him.  The only reason Hitler felt able to march into Russia was the real wealth his monetary policies were creating, and because the Allies were putting up little more than wrist-slap opposition...until the money thing.

Libya has/had an extemely high standard of living, with a monetary system completely cut-off from the banksters.  On top of that, it sits on some of the lightest, sweetest crude in the world.  Oh, and Qaddafi was selling an awful lot of it to China.

The real issue with all this war crap, besides naked empire-building, is trying to choke off China before it can get too out of hand.  China, for all it's economic dynamism, is resource-poor.  Heck, a good chunk of the country is Gobi desert.  In order to feed itself, it must import almost everything.

China draws it's energy from Indonesian coal, Libyan and South American oil and raw materials from most of the "Third World," which it turns into gee-gaws and re-sells it to the world.  Furthermore, it has been targeting markets the West has soundly ignored.  Sure, the US is a major market for it's products, but they pay in Boobie Bux.  So, China turns around and distributes it to the huge but grossly under-served global markets.

In this way, China provides a valuable service to the West, but its success is allowing it to slowly cut off the bankster network and go freelance.  It has the firepower and manpower to hold the rest of the world at bay.  That's what frightens the banksters.  They don't like competition.  The only way they have to control China is energy.  Cut off the energy and you can put the tiger back in the bag.

For this reason, China's border allies like Pakistan are under constant, but very quiet attack.  Libya is under constant and rather noisy attack (though much of it I don't believe).  Chavez is trying to circle his wagons, because he's next.  He's pulled his gold out of the UK, nationalized all the Big Oil properties and pretty much pulled in his toys.

It's only a matter of time before there's an all-out war on the US southern border.  When the floodgates open, nothing between Brownsville and Tierra del Fuego are going to be safe.

The US is hemorrhaging money, not to save the economy, but to buy off its allies and gain new ones.  From Europe to Asia, they're all lining up, hat in hand, saying they'll be happy to stick around, and oh, could you throw 10 or 15 billion into our markets?  We love you, man.  The US is selling its very soul to puff up it's sphere of influence, but the engine of its growth has begun taking on a life of its own.  Nixon created a Frankenstein's Monster.

It's a race against time.  Can the banksters choke off the power supply before China achieves complete independence.  The big problem is, China owns 9% of the US and has all the manufacturing.  Furthermore, they have pretty much all of Asia in their back pocket.

The US, and by extension NATO, must declare victory and bug the hell out of Libya to jump over to Syria.  They've got to lock down the Mid East power conduit to China, before China calls in the debt.  It's economic brinkmanship, just like the Cold War, but fought with paper rather than nukes.

If one stipulates the ability to control weather and geology, just for argument's sake, then Fukushima could be seen as a strategic blow to China's food supply, since a great amount of its protein comes from the sea...in that area.  Certainly, behind closed doors, I could hear Biden saying:

"Listen, you should really be concerned about Three-Gorges Dam.  I mean, one good earthquake and..."

Of course, felling cocky, Biden would hoot and yell, "Hu's yer daddy?  Hahahahaha!"

That's just how it all smells over here on the Far Side.  The games with markets, debt deals, bail outs, gold prices, oil wars...it's just all too, what's the word, convenient.


And from the looks of things, the banksters are whipping up some war between Israel and Egypt.

There's no doubt the West is trying to push China off balance, so it can attack directly.  The problem is that the West has never fully understood the Asian mind.  The Chinese are both ruthless and inscrutable.  I've sat across the negotiating table from them, I know whereof I speak.  They love strategy games and are disciplined thinkers.  It stands to reason they have already thought out many moves ahead and have answers for them.  And the West certainly doesn't know every card up China's sleeve.  I feel quite sure about that.

Qaddafi is a survivor.  He has outlasted a lot of BS.  The propaganda is trying to convince us that the people there want him hout, though if you had a really good standard of living, free education and health care, the best roads and infrastructure in Africa, and a yearly stipend, would you revolt?  Especially if it meant jerks like NATO coming in and blowing up the schools, hostipals, TeeVee stations, road, and airports?  Honestly, which would you pick?  FDR didn't get elected to four terms because everyone was starving to death and living in squalor.

I've just whipped up a fresh batch of popcorn, and now I'm going to watch this show.  Will the bankster BS get its trousers pulled down before they can drag Qaddafi's corpse through the town square?

Stay turned...

Stop The MADNESS!

Anyone in doubt that the US is finally and completely lost (even AFTER the TSA sex abuse) needs to watch the following video.  The USDA OWNS the word 'organic?'


I am thoroughly disgusted.  And lest anyone think they're safe anywhere else, these same rules are coming to a country near you.

The one saving grace about Indonesia is that the government is so corrupt that the people feel no obligation to follow any of the laws.  But, that can't last forever.  If Soeharto can come once, he can come again.

The thing is, I'm not so much disgusted with government.  It is only doing what it has always done throughout all of history: get as far up in your life as you will let it.  What disgusts me is that people are allowing it.  And really not just allowing it, welcoming it, encouraging it, feeding it.  They have gotten so snowed and brainwashed and drugged that they actually think there's a boogyman out there somewhere trying to kill them and the only thing that will save them is to let uneducated goons grope their genitals, force them to fill out forms to grow food and sell the extra, and track and trace their every move.

Got news for you, folks.  The only boogyman is the government itself.  It is creating an environment of fear and trepidation, to the extent of instigating acts of terror, in order to convince you that being a complete and mindless slave is the only way out.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

I actually heard an interview the other day in which a man who had been travelling in Asia recently bemoaned the significantly lower levels of pre-flight screening, compared to dear old Amerika.  I wanted to reach through the speakers on my laptop and slap the idiot!

Are people really so controlled, so stupid, so...OWNED?  The reason security is so much less intrusive here is that Asian men would beat anyone to a pulp that got all up in his wife's and daughter's stuff, for ANY reason!

If you took my advice and picked up a copy of Black's Legal Dictionary (pre-1950), you already know that the original and true definition of terrorism is 'state-sponsored acts of violence.'  STATE-SPONSORED.  Individuals, even organizations, can not be terrorists.  They are insurgents, revolutionaries, malcontents, but not terrorists.  States, i.e. governments, are terrorists.  Does anyone doubt that Nazis were terrorists?  Not in their right minds, they don't.

And speaking of Nazis, almost everything wrong with the world at the present time can be blamed directly on Nazis, with the sponsorship of the Vatican.  Don't believe me?  Try this experiment:

Place a small pile of cake flour on the table.  Not too much.  Don't want to spend the rest of the night cleaning up.  Now, smack the palm of your hand down square on top of it, then lift your hand up.

The flour represents Nazis.  Your hand stands in for the Allied Powers.  What happened?  Some of the flour stuck to your hand (Nurmberg Tribunals), some stayed in the original pile (Germany, Israel, Brussels), and the rest scattered out all over the table, some in clumps and some in a fine dusting across the table (Operation Paperclip and its equivalents).

Remember, the Nazis weren't a 'political' party, per se.  They were a quasi-religious bunch of true believers in a school of thought that involved theology, genetics, mysticism, political science, in fact just about every aspect of life as we know it.  That kind of mind-set just doesn't give up because Eisenhauer and Montgomery come tramping through.

On top of that, they had the lion's share of wealth scammed from all of Europe.  Billions of dollars (1943 dollars) in gold, art, currency, you name it.  With that kind of dough, you think they would all get whacked at the end of the war?  Hell no.  They scattered all over the place, and brought their loot with them.

The US took a bunch of them.  Russia took a healthy share.  South America was crawling with them.  The Vatican helped scores of them escape, offering documents and safe-houses across the globe.  Wherever they landed, their contagion spread, aided and abetted by their hosts.  On top of that, the Nazis grew directly out of the eugenics and racial purity movements in turn-of-the-century America.

That's right, the US gave birth to the conceptual kernels that gave birth to the Nazis.  Why do you think the 9/11 attack was a replay of the Reichstag fire?  Or that the USAPatiot Act was a virtual verbatim translation of the Enabling Act?  Or that the US and Russian space programs were a direct continuation of the Nazi V-2 program?  Hell, the whole space race was nothing more than a ball-swinging exercise to see which side got the better Nazis.

Brown shirts, blue shirts, what's the difference?  Fatherland, homeland, same thing.  American fascism is just Nazism writ large across the globe.  Only difference is that they've had 60 years to perfect the propaganda and brainwashing and death rays.

The fact is, the Nazis have taken over everything.  They were scattered across the world, where they infiltrated into government, commerce and medicine.  Slowly but surely, they spread their philosophy until now we can't tell the difference between the Sturn Abteilung and the TSA.  Wars of conquest abroad, herding the folks back home.  Fascism is the same, any time and any where.

As Joseph Farrell points out in "Babylon's Banksters," the Anglo-American bankster class sold its soul (what misery scrap of it there was to sell) for a piece of the Nazi loot, which funded most of the 20th century and America's imperialism.  Now, the Nazis are calling in the chits, which we call 'bail-outs' and 'quantitative easing.'

And they've had 60 years to perfect it all.

BTW, go back on look that the logos for the Sturm Abteilung and the TSA.  Don't look at the pictures, look at the design elements...the shapes and overall layout.  Look the same?  I thought so...

In other news, something else that just PISSES me off!

The global warming idiots just won't stop.  They were caught falsifying data, obfuscating facts and outright lying.  So they changed the name to 'climate change' and re-branded the whole pile of sh*t.  They spent how many years telling us our pollution was causing the imaginary warming?  And now they tell us that China's pollution is causing global cooling.

WHAT!!??

These Nazi bastards simply plug-and-play with our lives.  First, the Earth was cooling (70s), but then things got warmer.  Then, the ozone was disappearing (80s), but the Anarctic hole was shown to be a natural phenomenon.  Then it was global warming (90s), but the Earth started cooling.  They are desperate to make us pay for carbon, WHICH IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL LIFE ON EARTH!  They want to tax us for breathing!  That's all this bullshit scam is!

Of the four basic elements, earth, wind, fire, and water, they've already got taxes on land and water.  They've damn near got a grip on air.  And they're trying to control fire by saying the carbon released is killing the Earth.

THE EARTH AND ALL LIFE ON IT IS FOUNDED ON CARBON, YOU DOLTS!

Next thing you know, they'll tell us the di-hydrogen monoxide is a killer chemical and we have to eradicate it!

I'm positively sick to death of all this CRAP!  It's all LIES, BULLSHIT and complete NON-SENSE!

Hell, Mars has orders of magnitude more CO2 in its atmosphere, but I don't see anyone saying the planet is balmy!  At best, you'll get a chilly shirt-sleeve temp at high-noon in the dead of summer at the bottom of a deep crater.

Anyone who believes this tripe is sadly misinformed, completely brainwashed or a Nazi bastard.  No other options available, sorry.

I'm going to go into a coma, somebody call me when people wake up and get a good, deep whiff of Kopi Luwak.

Maybe tomorrow I'll be in a better mood.
