I get some flak for believing that liberals should not be publicly engaged in the news. People can believe what they want, but the liberals who are doing the discussions are not mainstream mom and pop Democrats. At this time, I really believe that giving liberals a fair and balanced place in discussions is somewhere between allowing 12 year old children a place on the panel and allowing Westerner killing jihadis into the discussion. Between wrong and evil, there is little place for them. Let alone having them be the "stars" of programs.
Now, does that mean I want a conservative or so called conservative providing news? No, not really. I would prefer to have a commentator who offers information in such a way, both in the delivery and the type of news, that I cannot tell what they believe. Like movie stars, rock stars, and others, I really do not care to know what some jackjaw thinks, especially given the decay and outright leftist, socialist, communist, highjacking of the education system through which these idiots gained their bona fides.
When we get to commentary, a novel source of debating, I think even here liberal have no good place. I will admit that having some of them appear does remind me why I am not liberal, but they just as often cloud the discussion or side track what is being discussed, and are allowed to do so. Much like blogs, if the discussion is about the weather, I really do not want to hear about someone's favorite pet. These people do this always and everywhere. It is how they came to power. It should not be allowed.
I must admit, this latest bailout has me more concerned than ever. I do believe this will devalue the dollar. Glenn Beck seems to think the devaluation will be approximately 20% at best. I do not know, but that would probably be a minimum. I do honestly think that business can move forward with or without the dollar or some other viable currency, if there are two problems. It would take business some period of time to switch to a trusted economic system and it would be sloppy until it was implemented.
The good thing about this is it really might get people who are beginning to wake up to look beyond the mere face of politics and into the economic facets of power. I am doing that at this point. Perhaps behind some, definitely ahead of others. The Fed, the gold standard, and other issues are bound to become focal points. How banks work and what they are doing. Of course, the problem is, good research and real understanding are not created over night. Beyond, when and if that understanding does arrive, it then must be acted on, and from the ground level up since much of the upper echelon are quite happy with status quo whether they know it is wrong or not.
I am not sure if Americans yet know that a true economic collapse could really happen tomorrow or not. But it can. It might. Actually, to some degree or other, it has to happen. It is happening. I know many who looked a little bit and quit looking because they could not deal with this reality. They will not discuss it, they will not read anything more, and they choose to simply believe that yesterday is today is tomorrow. I can sense the trouble, simply in the air. No matter what we do with this meager victory, the hands cannot be turned back, the damage cannot be undone, and life as we know it is over. By the time you feel it in the grocery stores, when receiving your income, or when figuring out your economic realities, there will be no time to plan for it. You will simply be dealing with the reality of it in the harshest of ways. It is not coming, it is here.
I cannot blame this administration and the last congress, completely. It was headed this way for... a very long time. The creation of the Fed, the end of the gold standard, the creation of the welfare state and the various increases in that, even Social Security and most pension plans, these have all lead to the Perfect Economic Storm. We created the illusion of wealth by changing what the term "dollar" means, we adjusted the economic factors to mean what we wanted so that it looked like we were all getting rich, and now it is time for all of those decades of lying and abuse to come due. What they did do, however, is increase the problems which created the disaster so as to multiply the affect when it finally comes due. Republicans, no doubt, are doing similar things if their methods are slightly different.
Perhaps these people are correct, to a degree, that appearances are more important than facts. To some degree, that is true. If someone believes something, with only minor proofs, they will act as if that is true. Police keep civil rest, for the most part, because those who would do otherwise believe that the police can do that. The truth is, a major civil unrest episode is completely out of the hands of the police, and even state militias (barring the use of deadly force, and maybe even with that) to control. There are simply too many people. There are, what, 360 million people and only a few million military personnel, many of whom are not combatants. Belief is vital, for almost anything, but certainly with regards to a fiat dollar, one every one can clearly see is being devalued by thieves, liars, and politicians. We have no friends in high places. Even those we like and trust may not fully understand or even have the power to make the right changes even if they do understand.
Drats! Another book. Well, so be it.
thumbs-up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for continuing to research this stuff. You're getting some of the big pieces of the puzzle here. +90% of the people never go beyond the surface drama that is fed to us to see the big picture that takes some digging to get to.
It's been going on for a long long time--those at the top have been working at their multi-generational plan for, well, centuries really, but the main phase of it has been brewing for the last century. It is just that with so much coming to a boil finally and with the Internet now, it begins to get easier to trace the outline of the image with the puzzle pieces we have.

The reason this hasn't come to a head before now, I think, is multifold. Those who worked up the program were not always in power when the timing was right, and lackies do a poor job. Some of those lost their nerve and have been maintaining the thing for steadier hands (well, that and they became fat and happy, not good for a chaos monger).
ReplyDeleteI think Obama came along as a catalyst because, with the internet and the will of the only people who politically matter changing and hardening, he might have been considered a last chance. He might still succeed, we will see.
Thanks though. I have been looking this material over for decades. Putting it all together though, now there is the trick. Far from done, I realize that the news fluff, good or bad, is usually a redirect rather than news. Reading between the lines might help, but that is almost as bad as reading tea leaves. I keep digging. Oh, I am surprised at how stupid these people often are. They are rich and educated (not that all rich, or even most, are in on this of course). This is the first generation of people who both doubt, have the education and faith in themselves to doubt, and have the economic power to do something about it (maybe). Thus Obama... I think.
