Not the End of the World, but the Beginning of a New Era

The Whistleblower (2010)

The true face of UN's "Peace" corpse - hypocrisy and cynicism. And all global organizations alike. It is all for profit. At any cost, human suffering that is. There is no humanity where six and seven digits are involved. This is another truth in a world of lies. We live in a primitive world, only the blind do not see that.

The film is based on real events. With a happy ending (for corporations involved in the business of war)

Paper Money and Their Emptiness. Debt-based Economics, Financial Recessions, Central Banks, Capitalism, Socialism, Democracy – Is There a Solution to this Gordian Knot?

Capitalism is a financial system that is meant to be an opposite to Socialism, or more like the other way around. Now, it is indeed a bit confusing to say so, since the former is a financial theory, whereas the latter is a political system. Of course, in practice, these two are completely entangled and they can't really exist independently from one another. The financial and the political systems in general, that is.

Socialism is thought to have its roots in the 19th Century and the socio-political theories of the German philosopher Karl Marx. Actually, Marx's philosophy is established as Marxism and is also recognized to be a foundation to Communism. Ever since the Bolshevik revolution and especially the Cold War, Communism is regarded as a totalitarian evil and the very word of it brings about feelings of resentment.

History is a complex topic and certainly not a straighforward one, not to mention that it is shrouded in a lot of myst and propaganda, also historic events too often are distorted through the subjective interpretations of the different view points. So, when one reads history, he or she should always keep in mind that this is the subjective interpretation of a source and that there are other layers and viewpoints to it as well.

Karl Marx and his close like-minded friend Friedrich Engels aspired to a better world, where class-based society with its inequalities would become a thing of the past. They also revolted against the exploitation of the working class by the capitalists and saw religion and religious authorities as equally abusive towards the ignorant believers, in large parts because religion had a long tradition of supporing class-based societies and protecting the "divine rights" of kings and emperors. Their communist philosophy envisioned a society where there will be freedom and equality, higher consciousness, responsibility and solidarity among people. In some part, their philosophy is quite sound, in theory. In practice, however, things turned out to be very different. Just as any other beautiful theory regarding economic and political workings of a society.

In practice, what the Bolsheviks and subsequently the USSR created was a totalitarian rule, which they all labeled as "communism" and also "socialism". I don't quite agree with the interchangeability of these two terms, because of their etymology. Communism comes from community, to commune. This term expresses the core concept of a classless society that Marxism envisioned. While Socialism roots itself from Society, social, with an "ism" attached, meaning "power to the people", as opposed to "power to the kings and rulers". From here on things get complicated and volumous.

On the one hand, humanity simply isn't advanced enough so that we may completely eradicate feudal elements, as in ruling class over a majority of people mass. Such a social form isn't impossible, but it involves a society consisted of individuals of a wholly different level of intellect, culture, behavior and so on. Such a society cannot be created with a social mass of ignorant, selfish, narrow-mined, basic, low cultured and so on and so on "average" people, even less so average peasants (as with the case of the Bolshevik revolution). On the other hand, having the above prerequisite in mind, the Bolshevik's and subsequently all communists never intended to create any such "utopian" society, they simply used people's ignorance, naivete and the "spirit of the era", which was buzzing with worker's being fed up with the old capitalist-feudal order. They exploited the masses to overthrow the monarchy and set up a new monarchy of their own. As George Orwell's satire "Animal Farm" eloquently portrays. Watch an animated adaptation of his book here.

Since the striking contrast between what "Communism" was thought to be like and what it was became obvious, the whole philosophy was condemned as no good. When in reality, there was Leninism, Stalinism and Totalitarianism. What I see as more disturbing is that the term "Socialism", as well as its root Social, went along in the category of highly undesirable things to have. And many people today perceive the term Socialism as somehow related to Dictatorship. A perception readily exploited by other forms of government today, who, more or less, are back to feudal-capitalism-like forms of social order.

In conclusion, communism turned barbaric and totalitarian because The Human Element bares these qualities and infuses them in everything the human element gets involved with, thus distorting beautiful theories into ugly practices. Just like the so called "Democracy" and, of course, "Capitalism" in all of their various forms.

Modern capitalism, promotes private ownership, ideally with no government ownership at all, encourages deregulated trade and production (free market) and is generally against social policies of any kind, like benefits, free (or cheap) health care, pension funds and so on. Democracy is some highly unclear term, that incorporates in itself various "schools of thought", economic and political practices. The average person thinks that Democracy means the right to vote, which is a highly simplistic and ignorant perception, not to mention naïve.

Democracy indeed is based on people's right to choose their government, from the choices they are given, of course. Democracy also means that the government or ruling party must take into account the opinion of the majority of people in the form of referendums and local ballots on different issues, laws and decisions to be made. And, the most important and central element in true Democracy is a predominant Middle Class of educated people who have reasonable income and actively participate with reason, knowledge and sense in those referendums and public debates.

If we look around the "advanced" modern societies it would be difficult to say if the Democratic model is truly the prevailent one. Yes, people have equal rights today, but these rights can be infringed quite often, with or without people's consent. Propaganda and projection of false perceptions are still widely in use by any government today, as well as social engineering and manufacturing consent. Which are political instruments attributed to dictatorships and totalitarian forms of rule, not democracies. In theory, of course. There are barely any referendums on important legislations, laws and decisions that the so called "Democratic" governments make. And, finally, the all-important-middle class is slowly disappearing.

So, in practice, it doesn't really seem like there is true Democracy anywhere. There is capitalism, that promotes a social structure based on a small percentage of super rich and a large portion of poor, a social structure, quite similar to the way feudal societies were. Maybe with the subtle difference that today the peasants are allowed to take bank loans and have the illusion of wealth, for a while. There is still a lot of exploitation in the working place, propaganda and wide-spread ignorance, which is encouraged by the popular culture, because dumb people are simply easier to manipulate.

In the last century, financial crises are the norm, today, the theory, even describes them as "economic cycles", a natural thing, you see. Just as there is life and death in the Universe. And just as natural as it was for communism to turn into a totalitarianism. In case the reader is missing the point, the natural element is the human element.

Financial recessions are created by speculation on the stock exchange and the bank credits. By means of CDSs, Derivatives and other financial instruments in use. In other words, financial recessions are created by human greed, selfishness and irrational desire for more money, much, much more than one can ever spend. But there is more to it all. Central Banks had positioned themselves, well, as central in the economy of all "advanced", and not so advanced societies. Nearly every country today has a privately owned central bank. Central banks issue the printing of money, bank notes, and also regulate economic cycles by manipulating interest rates, currency rates and the quantity of money there are in a given economy.

For instance, when there is inflation (that is too much money units are in use in the economy, so that the worth of the individual note goes down, which in turn raises prices and lowers profits for big corporations) the central banks responds by increasing interest rates. Which supposedly would make people spend less, presuming that they will buy on credit. Or, after a financial recession, the central banks lower interest rates, to lure people into purchasing more (they call it "stimulating the economy"), presuming that the people are stupid enough not to suspect that the low interest rates will not stay low forever. Another "economic stimulus" that the almighty and all-knowing Central Banks utilize is Quantative Easing, that is they print a bunch of cash, usually in the billions, and inject it into the economy, so that it may help ease the tight economic situation.

Here comes a funny thing. There is this "economic phenomenon" called Stagflation. (stagnation + inflation). That is, prices rise a.k.a there is inflation and in the same time there is high unemployment, which presumably means that people aren't spending so much so to create inflation. Wow, what could be causing this *phenomenon* ? Could it be that the central bank is pumping empty cash (not covered by any real value, like commodity, resource, gold, silver, human lives) into the economy, thus diluting the money mass and consequently lowering the value of the individual bank note unit.. ? So that, when the value of a bank note unit goes down, prices go up in order to make up for the lost value.

By the way, the central banks are tricky institutions and they can manipulate the currency values as well. So another phenomenon occurs this way – a national currency that has a higher value than it actually should have. Or a lower one in that matter, depending on the goal of this strategy. So that is how the Federal Reserve, for instance, pumps 600 billion dollars (as in QE) into the dollar notes mass and yet the rate of the US dollar currency had steadily risen in the past few months. Isn't this magic! It is amazing how irrational modern economy can be. Just as the human element behind it.

Watch this highly provocative short documentary. The title is

• The American Dream By The Provocateur Network

So, here is the basic scheme of the Debt-based Economy.

The Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, lends to the US government whatever sum of money (with interest) they need for their political deeds, campaigns, propaganda, ads and so on, government expenditures. The FED calls this "Bond Buying", another deceptive term. If it isn't a deception to say that you are buying something that doesn't exist (yet) with empty papers (printed by the Fractional Reserve System scheme). By now, it is highly doubtful what really is the fraction of this reserve at all – is it 1:9, is 1:90, is it 1:900…?! The most outrageous thing of it all is that if I decide to print some money for myself, the Central Bank will condemn this criminal act as "Counterfeiting". Shocking.

Anyway. In return to the Central Bank's Bond-Buying, the Government signs a contract to repay the loan ( because practically the central bank loans money to the Gvrnmnt ) in time. The way governments repay these loans are, basically, by taxing the populace. The more the government loans money form its central bank, the more it increases the various taxes that the population is obliged to pay. Crazy, isn't it? Very much. And you thought that all these money from taxes went for the collective benefit of building infrastructure, social benefits and so on. Not quite.

Here is another educational documentary that covers the issues in the above short, but in more detail and retrospective. The title is

• The Money Masters (1995)

"Isn't it bewildering how many people just live through their lives, completely oblivious? Worrying about their trivial troubles of love, salary, relationship issues and gossip from around the entertainment industry." (comment in youtube)

I think we should majorly rethink our knowledge of history. Which makes me think again on just how much propaganda and crap is studied in schools and universities. All those young and pumped up with eagerness individuals coming out with their degrees, thinking they understand it all. When they have been simply manipulated, programmed even, to seamlessly pour into the predetermined channels of the social and economic systems. When we need change, change of paradigms. New ways of thinking and new ways of doing. We need revolution, mostly in our minds. People with revolutionary thinking, not social units content with their degrees and knowledge who will continue the old ways over and over again. We need to question the paradigms and make it a cultural norm. Only then true cultural progress and advancement will be achieved.

A true Age of Reason, of harmony, responsibility and collective prosperity in knowledge, science, medicine.. without wars and primitive retardedness. Higher education as common as primary education is today in the world. Higher awareness and deeper consciousness, wisdom and understanding a common acheivement. And no, the world will not end when everything is prosperous and people are advancing intellectually at an increasing pace, we will merely step into an entirely new era of our evolution, that we can't even imagine today.

How long will all this insanity continue in this world, over and over again? How long will people remain stupified, ignorant, narrow minded, short sighted, unaware, blinded and so basic ? What debt?

Since all these money are fictional, then we have a fictional debt to return and we may as well not return it at all! FED what? IMF what? World Bank what?! What are these institutions without people's consent? Nothing.

Two useful links for US citizens:

• The Federal Reserve Act Must be Overturned Petition

• There is No Social Security "Crisis"

"A revolution is easy to start... just pull your money out of the banks, walk away from your debts, buy silver and gold, stop shopping at corporations... buy local. They are dependent on our consent." (comment in youtube)

Financial centralization is bad for this world, as well as meta governments. There is still too much primitive motivation in humans for such institutions to be healthy for social prosperity.

We need a sustainable and stable economy, reusable energy and a politically participatory society with war out of the scene. Oh, and a stable population, very important as well. No outrageous population booms, conscious reproduction, well guided with responsibility towards life and nature. Is it impossible?! Will humanity ever brake the chain of primitivity and truly move forward!? Do we need so much money in order for civilization to prosper? Are old dogmas and paradigms disrupting our cultural advancement? How long will humanity exist? Is the Universe infinite? Where is the quantum boundary between your mind and reality itself?! Is there telepathy?! Does anything exist at all?? What is your mind made of? No, really, what is it made of, beyond the atomic? Huh, what? Quarks?!

The Shock Doctrine. The Barbarism and Primitivism of Deregulated Capitalism

History is an entangled topic. It also is a multi-layered one. Historic events may seem linear with clear cause-and-effect chains at first glance, but beneath there are other layers that shape and influence them.

For one reason or another, canonic history, that is taught in schools and universities is presented in a very one-sided, shallow way, that is incomplete on the least and plain deceiving on the most. Unfortunately, it is history that has been used as one of the major instruments of propaganda and manipulation, by distorting and editing it, so that it suits the ideology and views of governments and regimes.

American history books have been revised more than a dozen times in the last century. And our history, for the Bulgarian people, is a subject of debates, controversies and much uncertanties, as it has also been distorted by manipulative regimes in the past for centuries in a row. History in the span of centuries and millenias back could be a tricky subject to stitch and unearth, for obvious reasons. However, the extent of distortion of the very recent history just shocks the observer.

I am rendered speachless and stunt at the depths of propaganda and manipulation that is infused in our knowledge of events that have occurred just in the last half a century. Every official version is a load of manipulation, everyone is hypocrite, cynicism is the norm and all complex variations of human behavior stemming from the basic instincts are cultural standards even for the most "advanced".

It is a pitty that the present is never able to see itself as incomplete and backwards from the viewpoint of the future. So that is why "advanced societies" throughout history have always thought that they were at the top of cultural perfection and people continue to think like this today.

I want to share a video and the book, that it is based on. The book is titled The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. Here is the official website. It explores the barbarism, cynicism and primitive ways of imposing change to societies.

Change that does not benefit "ordinary" people, but corporations. Change, that presents itself as advanced and freedom-bringing, but in reality, it has a degrading effect and reverts societies back into feudal-like models of highly uneaqually distributed super-rich and super-poor. These are the effects of deregulated capitalism. It is barbaric simply because humans are too primitive still and are unable to regulate themselves rationally. That is why a deregulated "free" market of pure capitalism is a highly unhealthy model that has a highly erosive effect on its host society. As we can very well see this in practice all over the world.

The more I live, the more I realize that this world is guided not only by primitivity, but unbelievable doses of irrationality. Not to mention that the very definition of "sanity" gets more and more doubtful all in regards to the extent of irrationality that world leaders implement in their actions. And actions driven purely out of selfishness are also irrational, because you cannot be selfish in a system that is interdependent and where if one element is unstable, all other elements will suffer from it. And so on. It is a crazy world. Not just playfully crazy, but seriously insane. It can be seriously argued against the current standards of "sanity", as well as the current standard approaches in "curing" "sanity" divergences. It is all business. RX generation, manipulated, abused and stupified.

I highly recommend watching the documentary and the book must be at least twice as good, in terms of an "eye opener" for all those other hidden layers behind the official façade of history. The very recent history. The history of Capitalism and in parts experimental psychology. In this line of thought, as complimentary for yet more layers and perspectives, I recommend watching

• The Century of the Self (2002)
• The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear (2004)

• The Invisible Enslavement Of Debt Economics..

And here is the Shock Doctrine documentary:

So, am I the only one who holds the opinion that all these economists, experimental psychologists and dictatorship-training agencies should be declared psychopatic, inhumane and be held accountable for crimes against humanity?

There is Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy. Those three are all beautiful in theory and highly distorted in practice. It seems that neither alone is the best, maybe the best version would be a syncretic one between them all. A Social Democracy with rationally balanced state regulation and free market policy. Rationality and other higher cultural values are missing from the picture so far.

In this barbaric world of freaks and sub-human creatures, filled with lies and hypocricy. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Observe. Think. Make your conclusions. Wake up.

Social Revolutions, Shifting of Powers and Overturning Old Orders - A New Chapter of Cultural Evolution?

People are beginning to wake up, finally, and to demand their voice be heard and taken into account by governments. No dictatorship lasts, nor any regime that infringes and supresses human freedom of will. Nothing lasts in that matter, even the Universe will not last for ever. But that isn't something that should concern us in any way for no living human will witness it anyway. We live today, here, in these exciting times of cultural uprising and social revolutions. Though, these events aren't really more exciting than any other similar events back throughout history. Actually, history has always been exciting, full of buzz and developments. In the past couple of thousand of years at least. It is funny too that people have been feeling like they live at the end of days for at least the last one thousand years. If they keep thinking this way, some generation eventually will hit the jackpot, finding themselves living in the last days, not any time soon in my reckoning. Though I may be wrong, the apocalypse may be tomorrow – sell!! But seriously, as serious as one can be in this ridiculous world, put mildly.

Things have been pretty exciting in the last century, in the last couple of centuries even, even in the last.. yeah, right. As I said, history has been pretty exciting. And continues to be so! How exciting.

Even Arabs are beginning to see that they are being manipulated into mindless obedience by their leaders who say "Allah Akbar" and this line is enough for the crowds to adore them. Well, not anymore. People now want freedom, whatever the definition of this, at large. This most recent wave of social revolts began at an unlikely place really, Tunisia, wow. And interesting. I do hope Egyptian people will be able to bring pharaoh Mubarak down. Bulgaria is with you people of Egypt! They say the whole city of Cairo is blocked with widespread protests and the atmosphere is really tense and full of sense of a revolution.

Religious leaders in the region were fast to declare that the social unrests were "islamic revolution", there is no islamic revolution there, but revolution of the people. The "Muslim brotherhood" has long lost its grounds with the average arab people and they are made famous mostly by "western" media who still rag about "Al qaida" that is most popular in the "western world" ..and this Mubarak has no self-respect to step down, seeing the dislike of all these people out on the streets. An utter display of a complete lack of dignity all for keeping his throne's sake.

People in other dictatorship regimes have risen as well, like Syria and Algeirs. I wonder if people in Iran will be able to gather enough strength to rise once again against their oppressive regime. Well it is about time for people in North Africa and the Middle East to wake up. Now I understand the importance of coordination and communication – of course, how logical. That is why in the past there were no such flash revolutions and it was really hard to gather people into an uprising. And that is why, when the printing press was invented and the first pamphlets were used for spreading the idea of the revolution that took place in 1789. Communication is at the core. That is why totalitarian governments control information and utilize propaganda extensively, because if they allow information to flow free, they can't keep their control over people. Thus, any government that exerts control over the means of communication and information exchange are totalitarian and have dirty laundry, that they are afraid not to surface.

There are also other, more subtle forms of dictatorship around the world, such are more or less all highly centralized governments, like USA, China and what the EU is turning into. I guess centralization of governance is not a good thing as it inevitably leads to some forms of totalitarianism, awaking human's most basic instincts – selfishness and domination, with all of their branches. May be the central model is good for some much more advanced society, culturally and intellectually. But not for humanity at this stage of our evolution.

We live in exciting times today and order is shifting. Old orders are gowing down and new, hopefully better, ones are emerging. I do hope the same will happen with religious dogma soon, as well. As religion is another major impact factor for cultural retardedness, violence and segregation. I can only widly speculate what historical treasures are hidden in the Vatican archive, all of their dirty laundry with some precious manuscripts, along thousands and thousands of other interesting documents. This archive is like the Federal reserve's gold stash – closed to all public eyes until the last pope is dead and all old conventions are brought down. Such crazy facts would surface from this archive, that world history will be completely shaken. Unless the last pope burns himself with it, which I dread to even think about –all those precious archives. Yeah, now that will be the revolution – if people in the US gather in millions and demand that the Federal Reserve opens its gates to public audition and if other millions of millions people gather and demand that the Vatican opens its archives to the public!

Hopefully that's the way all the local revolutions lead – to a global revolution that will mark an entirely new chapter in history and in humanity's cultural evolution. Evolution in the mind.

(R)EVOLUTION !

The Unsustainability of Today's Capitalism and the Imminent Collapse of Debt-Based Economics. Is this the only possible way?

In the previous episode, the topic of the feudal elements in modern capitalism and the enslavement by central banks cartels was discussed, alongside other problematic areas like "Is liberty dead in USA?". Is it time to officially retire the Statue of Liberty? And replace it with a huge advertisement of, say, Bank of America or a big banner flashing "The IRS wants YOU".

The most obvious difference between civilization today and civilization one thousand years ago is technology and mass production. There are certain other subtle differences among more advanced societies, like heightened sense of moral and ethics, better individual self-control, education at large, more rational understanding, respect for life and equal rights between men and women. However, it is not rare when such seemingly higher culture turns out to be only a public façade, with people behind it being as primitive as their predecessors a millennium ago. For instance, the cases with pedophile professors and politicians, people who should represent the highest of cultural and intellectual standards in society. Not to mention the still persisting differences in salaries for men and women in certain professions and positions. A pitiful situation indeed. As Carl Jung sadly remarks:

"Even those who serve as teachers and leaders in modern societies are slaves to their unconscious drives and primitive motivators"

That is, apart from cultural advancement, modern society lacks public recognition for the need of mental advancement and raising social standards in this respect, as well. However the pressing importance of this topic, among others, I'll turn attention to another serious issue in our global society that needs to be recognized sooner, nevertheless. It is the topic of the strange workings of debt-based economics and feudal ways of capitalism, their effects on society, the political deception and propaganda in these respects and the overall unsustainability of this model that will lead to very serious social unrests in the foreseeable future.

Capitalism is at the core of current economic systems around the world, more or less barbaric. The barbarism in capitalism is in the abusive ways corporations work, both towards the environment and workers, all to increase profits and decrease expenditures. The highly unjust distribution of money leads to social tension, all because human greed has no rational limitations. And what is this money? Means of exchange. What are those papers that we use to trade and exchange our labor for? Increasingly, just paper. Does the world need so many of them papers, in order to develop and prosper? I don't think so.

Paper money, once, had a value denominated in Gold or Silver hard matter. The more gold a country had, the more money it could produce. However, the Fractional Reserve system of central banks increasingly depletes paper money of any actual value, so that a paper note is worth just another paper note of the same denomination. Nothing really, that is. It is an extremely weird situation and the bee hive, of sort, of such empty papers is, you might have guessed it, United States of America. The last financial recession began from there and spread around the world. This is because central banks are interconnected, global trade and also because the US dollar has been enforced, or more like deceptively negotiated, to be a main reserve currency to many countries around the world. And also is one of the main reasons why the US dollar still is able to maintain a certain value. Considering the artificial ways of financial growth that the US Federal Reserve has been applying in the past 80 years and more.

The Fractional Reserve Requirement in the past, has been guided by some rational regulations. For instance, you can issue 9 fictional dollars covered on 1 real one, that is covered on, say a gold coin. Today, regulations are increasingly being removed, declared as evil and enemies to pure capitalism.

So, if we take this correlation and apply it to the US economy, one can say that the real productivity is 10% and the rest 90% are debt?! This means, that this debt can never be repaid and financial crises will only grow deeper and more severe. How can we have severe financial crisis based on virtual money?! What will happen if all those money are simply deleted, burned, destroyed away from circulation? ...

So, money turn out to be some kind of fictional value exchange notes. In the past, a paper bill represented the value, say in gold and silver, of a physical asset the paper holder had. But today, a bill virtually represents nothing. The wildest thing is that in the 16th Century, when the Fractional Reserve system began, and forward, European trade developed on virtually empty notes that had no real asset cover. And that development boomed and flourished. The inevitable conclusion here is that the world doesn't really need all those paper money in order to develop its markets and production. So weird, it is amazing. It is amazing how banks can give you "real" money that you can actually spend for whatever in exchange of some signed paper check, for instance. Such a twisted scheme. lol I have to say that banking is some kind of magic. Making money out of nothing. Brilliant. The dream of every alchemist from the past.

US banking system and that of many other countries in the world turns out to be mostly Debt-based. Everybody owns money to someone else and that someone else owns money to yet someone else else and so on. The USA was indeed a land of freedom originally (if we don't take into account the genocide of the local population), however with the creation of the US Federal Reserve in 1913 this freedom began to loose its grounds. And why is the US Fed Res labeled as "Federal" anyway, when it is a private bank that lends money to the US government, rather than being owned by the US govrnmnt?

It's all a big show, a game of deceit and deception. It's pretty huge, pretty serious and really awesome to behold. How easy it is to manipulate large masses of otherwise normal, not mentally retarded, even intelligent individuals. And indeed this is the strangest thing. How and why people let themselves be manipulated?

The financial crisis involving lots of people loosing their homes that took place in 2008 was well known and discussed by dissident economists way back in 1995. I recall in one particular documentary "The Money Masters" made in 1995 where some of the interviewees warn of this upcoming crisis in plain, direct speech. Of course, the common people never take interest in such boring documentaries and prefer to switch to American Idol or some idiotic reality show. So, it is their own ignorance that led them to loosing their homes, their bad. Continue to be sheep-minded, oh mighty common people, until you get ripped off completely, so that you may finally wake up from your intellectual slumber.

If you ask an average American about the Federal Reserve, they will be quite unable to tell you anything about it. They think it is federal and that this federal bank actually helps American economy. And the main stream media assures that this perception is sustained in the way they serve news. For example, here is a recent news title "The Fed not backing down on bond buying" as if this is something very positive and even sacrificial that the FED does in order to help, you see. When in reality, this is just a financial scheme to ensure long-term profits, for the FED, and long-term financial burden for the average American.

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. It is not a lie to say that American people have given up their constitution and their Liberty with it. Most of them just don't realize it yet. This moment of realization will surely come though.

There are so many controversies in the United States, so many secrets, cover ups and unanswered questions, I simply can't believe that American society is so tranquil, so tranquilized. They must be putting some sort of sedative in the water supply (or else, the average American person IQ really is around 80). And the US shouldn't name their political system "Democracy", it's something else, but not Democracy.

This entire financial system is very wrong and unsustainable. It will turn into a black hole at some point, this is inevitable. And who's to blame?

Ordinary, working-class people, in the end, are the ultimate victims of capitalism. They have been cleverly deceived into taking those sub-prime mortgages on the one hand, but on the other hand, all those people have fallen victims to their own ignorance. Their own financial ignorance and naivity. They didn't read the fine script and didn't really thought in perspective, like "How much will I have to pay when the initial low-rate period ends?" that has been confusingly specified somewhere in between that fine script.

So, there are two sides in this problem - the big banker's deception and wall street risk-takers' greed and on the other side all those consumers' personal ignorance and lack of sober thought on just how much they can actually afford. Thus, everybody is guilty, everyone in their own way. 

In the end, capitalism may be a very positive idea on theory, but on practice, just as every other bright idea, is twisted by the primitive ways of the human element. It's human's, and in particular, men's irrationality in their instinctive drive to dominate, that destabilizes the whole system.

So, is the current version of Capitalism and Democracy the only possible frames for societies? There are actually some economists who think these two are in a way "the end of the line" as in the best possible solutions. Right, just the average human narrow-mindedness speaking, I'll say. Human is such a strange creature - a bag of hardwired instincts and yet a dynamic consciousness. Intelligent and yet dull, a shallow intelligence that is the current educational standard. And so on.

Who knows what the future will bring. It may as well be a big huge asteroid putting an end to human misery, lol.

Welcome to a New 365-Day Round Into the Future

The old year rolled out into the past gracefully, leaving space for the new one. Human civilization, willingly or not, rolls forwards with time too. The past year was.. well, just another year filled with conflicts, turbulences, controversies, deals, ups and downs, resolutions, social, political and financial struggles, nothing of much significance really. For me it was a long year, as usual, a lot of things happened, a lot of knowledge, experience, wisdom and understanding gained, I grew up a little bit more. A new piece of dream was added to my list for the forseeable future - I want to climb Everest summit. A tough challenge for body and mind. Yeah, pretty cool.

I was busy for the past month renovating my website, the one in my native language. It is almost done. My writing style evolved quite a lot and I think I'm ready now to complete my book and make it ready for the next phase - publishing. Though, I don't really have a well defined idea yet on just how am I going to do that. When the time comes the Universe will guide me, I'm sure. I'll keep my eyes open, not to miss any guiding signs, lol. This summer I'll be graduating my BA and think to enroll in a Masters course straight after. Psychology is a long-time interest of mine and decided to license it, I think this is a positive thing to do anyway. And then, we'll see. I'll conceive on the "then" in the meanwhile. Or it may conceive me. Life is a two-way relationship - you live it and it lives you.

Right. I was a fan of the Wikileaks cause, these information freedom rebellions and so on. But now, more provoking questions arise surrounding this whole randevou. Like, why did Assange let his personallity overshadow the cause? This is something one should never do, if the cause is what really matters and if it is not just another PR strategy. Makes you wonder, is it, afterall. And the media he "works" with is a strange pick too - the Guardian, New York times... the most mainstream, corporate-friendly media suddenly turning rebellion? Something is wrong with that picture definitely. And why, really, the cables are concerned with only some countries and others are not even mentioned.. Controversies, I'm not really sure what happened, was it a preplanned sensation in order to provide reason for enacting cyber security laws similar to iPatriotic act and so on? Maybe this Wikileaks scandal was another well conceived and smoothly executed "False Flag" operation of the US and allies, to legally increase their control of the internet, as in electronic fascism.

Could be anything. The truth is that masses are manipulated very easily, due to their ignorance, because it is easy to manipulate someone who lacks certain knowledge that you have. And for me, the truth is that I know very little, sometimes it feels like I know nothing really. Funny thing, when I knew less, though, I felt like I knew it all. LoL ":)

Anyway, welcome to the new year, make yourselves at home. Here are few clips on financial conspiracies, speculations and dirty laundry, to cheer you up

 

Here is another interesting video on the secrecy in modern governments, espionage and stuff like that from the founder of the website that leaked documents around the web long before Wikileaks showed up and swept the media in a sensational rock star-style. Interestingly enough, what this person says about the outcomes from the "Wikileaks scandal" are very similar to what the author speculated a few clips and sentences above. Ahh, those conspiracy theories cooks, such chefs

United States Cynicism and Propaganda Machine Pushing the World Towards a Third World War. The Unpopular Truths. A Wake Up Call

In the wake of the Wikileaks revolution, many truths, alongside lies, surfaced to public attention. Finally, we, the people, have been given the chance to read some real news, the way news should be - straightforward, no political corectness, objective and naked. The naked truth may not be as pretty as a well dressed lie, but it is what humanity needs, if we are ever to completely divorce with Feudalism and all of its subsequent reformulations present in today's world.

The US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks team are quite an interesting reading, on the least. There is something for everyone. Still, mainstream media is keeping its distance and refrains from speaking too much or too loud about what is being revealed. One may wonder (rapt in awe), how the media is able to create a sensation out of some small, banal news, and significantly underweight another, truly sensational news. Of course, this seemingly odd media behavior is nothing but an obvious evidence of just how manipulative, unobjective and corrupt mainstream news media is/are. Are they affraid of something? Or are they simply paid far too well to bother with truth? The answer, I presume, is a little bit of both, unevenly distributed among different media groups. Also it's worth noting that, since Assange's arrest, media attention was highly diverted from the leaked documents and concentrated on the allegations and rumours surrounding Julian Assange. Which is another sensational manipulation of mainstream media.

From the news channels I regularly watch - CNN, Euronews and BBC, BBC talks about different leaked documents and their contents the most. I understand that in the US, the general perception of Wikileaks is one of indifference (not surprising, the US public is passive on mostly everything of importance) and one of hostility. That is, the general US citizen has been, after all, convinced to believe that the revealing of the diplimatic cables is something of a treason that should be despised. Some even call the media coverage of Wikileaks as "unexplainable hype", whereas I don't really see any real hype, apart from Assange's arrest sensation. Of course, those who don't realize the importance of freedom of information (and speech) are unable to appreciate all that unfolded with Wikileaks. Those who "..falsely believe they are free" ..in the land of the blind.

Anyway, the worst part is, that when governments and corporations finally manage to offset and mute the Wikileaks revelations, the public will be fast to forget about it, aided, again, by mainstream media sources. Self-imposed ignorance and passive willingness to consent with propaganda is a great plague in the modern world and a great barrier for societies' cultural advancement.

Corporate abuse of nature and human labor is one feudal element at hand, central banks abuse of national and global economies, another. But there is one very serious trend lurking subtly beneath everything else that most successfully evades public attention and appreciation of its dangers. That is the relentless and perseverant military aggressiveness of the US government in its foreign policy and actions. People don't seem to make some very important connections and don't seem to appreciate the imminent danger that these pose, pushing the world towards a very high propability of a new world war. One that has the potential to destroy civilization as we know it so far. A third world war, the most devastating in a row.

The United States government has a history of adopting some very disturbing policies, ever since the beginning of the 20th Century. You may want to take a look at the videos in the previous posts in this blog for information on what those policies have been.
As recent history shows, American society is dictated and ruled by a policy of fear-inducing propaganda to make them consent and give up their last remaining freedoms (since those freedoms began to slowly be taken away ever since the end of the first decade of the 20th Century), all in the name of their supposed safety. This policy creates an aura of an imminent threat that is every-lurking, targeting USA from everywhere, because this elusive enemy wants to take away the freedoms of Americans. Numerous lies and entire elaborate scenarios have been devised in the past decades, portraying sophisticated enemies, that simply were not there, in the no-quite-sane aspirations of US political and related circles.
First, the main enemy was the USSR, then terrorism and Al Qaida. It is an interesting fact to know, that the name "Al Qaida" was devised by US secret agencies and was not a name that the islamic fundamentalist movement used themselves, that is, before they heard about it on the news. A small fact that speaks a lot.

Actually, the fundamentalist movement in question has its historical roots in the near past and is mainly involved in social devolutions (as opposed to evolution) in the middle east region, its name is "Muslim brotherhood" and is far from a highly organized, sophisticated terror network. Actually, this fundamentalist movement was never able to acheive serious influence over average citizens in Muslim countries and by today's date it is slowly disintegrating and fading from public interest. It is a fact, that on the recent election in Egypt (2010), the Muslim brotherhood was unable to secure even one seat in the parliament.

The biggest acheivement of the movement is the islamic revolution in Iran (1979), which is a significat, very unfortunate event on its own. However, their involvement in the entire plotting and execution of the 9/11 attacks is seriously doubtful. And the big question remains - exactly who were all the participating parties in the full planning and carrying out these attacks?

Also,

• Did US Officials have advance information about 9/11?

• Did US Officials obstruct investigations prior to 9/11?

• Did US Officials have reasons for allowing 9/11?

• Did US Officials block captures and investigations after 9/11?

The answers should surface, sooner or later.

Since the Muslim brotherhood movement is slowly loosing its grounds in the muslim world, the US government's Politics of Fear policy is loosing its enemy, without which it cannot survive. And sooner or later it will become clear that there is no serious terror threat coming from the Arab world. And that this threat, for the most part, was exaggerated and fueled by religious fundamentalists and conservative politicians on both sides a.k.a a tention artificially created and deliberately sustained, as an aura of fear and distrust in societies. The Neoconservatives in USA are the fundamentalists on their side, together with respective christian leaders and preachers. In the light of this brief overview, since the Al Qaida enemy is fading from the picture, measures are being taken to create a new enemy, actually, to revive an old one - Russia. 

USA has an economy or rather a main industry in the US economy that thrives on war, that is the weaponry industry. The US is the biggest seller of weapons in the world, yet their cynicism goes so far as to always condemn other governments who also sell weapons here and there. In reality, the US condemns their competitors in the industry. It is a fact that US corporations sell weapons not only to their allies, but to their enemies as well. After all, everyone needs to be well armed in order to wage a good and profitable war.

The economic side of war is one thing at hand, another is how to win the consent of other nations and the support of the American public for all these wars. War is a highly profitable venture for Corporate America and its public justification is achieved by well conceived propaganda machine. Here is a video suggestion in regards to the war business:

Title: Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006)

Another one on the same topic:

• Title: Daylight Robbery (2008) 

And another, tackling the unpopular facts on terrorism and US policies of hypocrisy and blatant lies:

• Title: Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror (2003)

I also highly recommend watching the video in previous post here - The Rise of the Politics of Fear. American Propaganda, Islamic Fundamentalism and the Historical Roots of Both.

So, winning public support for the military aspirations of Corporate America is done via plain, old propaganda. The US government and associated institutions have a history of exploiting people's patriotic emotions to shape people's mindsets and make them consent to wars and giving up their personal freedoms.
I don't know how many years more have to pass in order for people to finally begin realizing all this and wake up for the reality and if they, especially, the US citizens are able to wake up at all, after decades of brainwashing, and being currently overwhelmed by trivial troubles like paying their bills, personal debts and informing themselves on the latest Hollywood gossips.
I do understand that Americans sincerely wish to believe that their government is moral, just and works for the people. Self-delusion is not going to make it so, however.
It may be harsh and morally discouraging to realize and acknowledge to yourself that things are not the way your (US) government portrays them to be, but this realization is of absolute necessity, if all this grand game of deception is to be exposed once and for all. Of course, it is not just the US government that plays this game, most of the governments in the world do. However, for instance here, in Europe, people are critical towards their governments and fight to protect their rights, while in the USA, the public is mostly silent and consent with everything. And most importantly, the most aggressive gamer is the USA. And this is nothing to be proud of.

"The new Pearl Harbor" that the US government needed so badly came in the face of the 9/11 attacks. So, convenient. Many things have drastically changed since then, mainly, the US military offensives gained momentum with the vigorous public support, the people deeply upset with 9/11 and pumped up with super-patriotism to a point of complete loss of rationale.
This is, actually, called "Social engineering", an excellent one, I'll say. By the way, there was another time in history at another place, when the crowds were so intensely manipulated to consent to irrational governmental policies, that was Germany ruled by Hitler.
German people, back then, were deprived of all their freedoms and had to support a barbaric dictatorship, while being brainwashed to praise it with ideology that told them that they had a unique role in this world, that they were free and bestest of all other nations.. and so on.
Sounds familiar?

I thought that the United States' "social" system is Feudal Capitalism. I was wrong. It is Idiocracy - a pseudo-democracy ran by fanatics based on ideologic patriotism sold to crowds of idiots. No offense, just the unpopular truth.
Americans woe to Communism, when their's even worse. And to point it out again, I'm not against American people, but the US government and their policies in place for decades in a row (almost a century even), without any difference who the president is.

But, all this is not my main point. Since the topic is so large, it's kind of hard to sqeeze it all in brief, while backing up the different points with retrospective information and some argumentation.
                       
My main point is connecting the dots and following the path that current trends' unfolding seem to lead - a World War 3, that is. I sincerely hope I am completely wrong, but here is how things don't fit in. The visible part, which, I'm sure, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Since the United States' barbaric Policy of Fear, fueled by respective fanatical agencies, needs constant threats from outside in order to keep the US citizens in a grip of fear and thus in control, on the one hand, and to provide the US gvrnmnt with justification for military offensives on the other. And since the Muslim brotherhood movement is fading as such a threat, a threat that was largely exaggerated anyway. The US (political and corporate circles with inclination to psychopathy) are fixing their evil eye on Russia, again. Because they need an enemy in order to go on.

And the US is using another tool, apart from plain propaganda, at their disposal, in achieving to create this new enemy - NATO is that tool. NATO, a useless military organization in an age when diplomats are "building roads and bridges" with political correctness and a lot of hand shaking (for photography reasons mostly). NATO brings peace to turbulent regions across the globe, sometimes with subtle military presence (intimidation), other times with guns and bombs. Either way works fine and peace is ensured always, whether it be peace in fear or rest in peace (for those who don't comply with fear). It is a strange, strange world we live in, where people fight for peace.. literally. Trying to bring peace with the instruments of war. Well, that's just a plain primitive approach.

Primitive monkeys. Anyway. NATO, USA, World War 3. And the Eagle Guardian missile installations. Wikileaks documents. One such interesting to note is titled:  US plans to defend eastern Europe against Russia.

Wait, what?! Hello, the Cold War is over, retards. There is no real threat coming from Russia for Eastern Europe or for anyone else in that matter. Yeah, Russia has its disputes with Georgia and Chechnya, but those are fueled by both sides, a situation very similar to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yeah, Poland has its bad memmories from the USSR, but they have a very bad memmory from the German Reichstag as well. It's just idiotic history ran by irrational, insane humans, men in particular. And most of all, it's history in the past. Russia is not secretly planning to converting into USSR again. This is nothing but another paranoid, schizophrenic vision of the US government. As they have a long history of such a behavior. Video here.

First off, there is NO threat coming from Russia for Eastern Europe. I live here. I see no tensions between Russia and East European countries. I see, however, growing tensions between Russia and USA over the (backed and insisted upon by the US) Eagle Guardian missile network, previously known as Space Shield or some similarly ridiculous designation. Now, second off, intially this massive missile installations plan was said to be a defense for Europe against missile attacks from Iran. That was the official version at least, before Wikileaks released these documents. While reading them and in the light of the historic behavior of the US, their strategies and policies, suddenly I realized something disturbing.
This "contingency expantion plan" is a strategy. It is a military provocation. And most of all, it is a preparation for war. Against Russia. Those missile installations are not for defense, they are a first-line of a future offense. One that has already been planned.
I'm not sure if anyone who may read this would realize the importance of this subject, its weight and public attention deficit.
It's very simple: First, the US said they want to build those missile installations, so that they defend Europe against Iranian missile attacks. Right. The universal defenders to the rescue. But now it turns out that the US, privately, says that, shhht, the installations are for defense against Russia. Huh?! Since there is no real threat coming from Russia, then what is the real purpose of these military installations? Do you know that the US repeatedly provoked Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor, so that they could join in WW2 with official arguments?

The second documents reads:

"..This is the first step in a multi-stage process to develop a complete set of appropriate contingency plans for the full range of possible threats - both regional and functional - as soon as possible.". Full range of possible threats? Stunning. I would confidently replace "Functional" with "Fictional" and will fit in just right.

"The United States believes strongly that such planning should not be discussed publicly." Of course not, why should the public have any clue where they are headed to.

"The Alliance has many public diplomacy tools at its disposal. Contingency planning is not one of them. What we should do is explore other public steps for demonstrating the vitality of Article 5, such as exercises, defense investment, and partnerships."

Right. So, when asked, don't say that "..these missile installations are for defense against Russia." Bleep, incorrect. Instead be politically polite, so that not to undermine the military plans of us. "Umh, I meant, these installations are for exercises, just a pointless defense investment, and, of course, for partnerships (for creating world peace)". Followed by loud, joyful hand clapping right after mentioning "world peace". If only words manifested into realities, we would have created an utopia a thousand times already.

This is very serious. There is no real, justifiable reason for this massive military installation, taking place so secretly, that we really barely hear anything about it here. Not long ago,  about half an year or so, Russia's president Medvedev said that if NATO and USA continue with the Eagle Guardian installations, Russia will have no choice but to strenghten its own weaponry arsenals. Because, it is clear to them to whom these missiles will be pointing. The installations are in progress, thus this entire plot is a purposeful provocation with a very sinister purpose and no diplomatic effort, or faking such efforts on the side of USA. When two big powers in the world, especially former "enemies", begin to arm over military provocations, things are going to no good.

The whole "World policeman" and "Unique role in the world" BS and interventionist policy of the US is getting really annoying. Not to mention the deranged propaganda. As if we still live in the 1st or 2nd Century, not 21st. I think the world is in deep trouble, not only in terms of fictional democracy and liberties et cetera information censorship, but we are headed to another major war, people. World War 3 may escalate so fast and so soon, that it could feel like "a thunder from clear skies". Of course, the skies are far from clear and even darker clouds are approaching from the horizons.
So, with such grim future possibilities, the question is, is it avoidable? Is it preventable? Where are the minds of those politicans?! I mean, the other politicians, say in Europe, not the US politicians, who are mostly deranged as well as the policies they support. Why are people so irrational?! I can barely believe the world we live in. Insane.

Keep an eye on this issue and please, copy and distribute this article or parts of it all over the social media! There is no need for attribution, no need to link back to this blog whatsoever, just spread the word! Create awareness for this issue, bring people's attention to it. We don't need the Eagle Guardian shield, there is no threat, this missile "defense" is creating unneeded tension that can lead to war. Wake up! A WW3 must be prevented or else there will be misery and suffering for all.

We can prevent it, we the people from all over the world! Our weapon is free speech, our strenght is in numbers. Reason can prevail over insanity! The US is led by paranoid, scitzopheric policies that cannot be classified as rational nor sane, they see enemies everywhere and peace nowhere.

Title: Dealers in Death (1935)

How long is this primitivity going to continue? 75 years after the above documentary was produced, the situation still the same.

It will continue to be the same so long as people consent with it and there are soldiers willing to fight for it. As if people in the "modern" civilization are not mature enough to settle their conflicts with reason and dialogue. It is not about that of course, it is about business in wars. There is no money in talking rationale. Duh.

Here are two more clips of interest, Michael Moore interview on Wikileaks and an exerpt of Ron Paul's speech in the US Senate (ah, ancient Rome, lol). And , yes, there is something very wrong with the whole 9/11 story too, something very wrong and contradictory.

Let's change the world!! Let's change the future..

(R)evolution!

New American Century. From Liberty to Enslavement. The Persistent Moral Degradation of the Once Advanced Western Civilization

The United States want to dominate the world, old-fashion barbaric style. What astounds me most is how subtly they get away with their war crimes and convince their citizens and people around the world that the wars they wage are always out of a last-resource self-defense. When in reality, those wars have been preplanned long before.

United States condemns terrorism, when their own actions can be defined as terrorist's. The US government and its agencies stimulate terrorism, they sponsor it, create it, supply it with weapons and insite it and they need it to use it as justification for their long list of military offensives preplanned decades ago, going further decades from now. The final goal of these wars is not bringing freedom nor democracy to other peoples, but on the one hand, gaining resources and new corporate grounds. And on the other, there seems to be a more long-term sinister aspiration that drives all these "small" steps. Someone may think that oil is the major reason for the US to wage wars in the Middle East. It is a reason, but may not be the main reason.

Why is USA waging wars constantly, from Vietnam to Iraq, what's with the primitivity? It's an industry, it's business and it is a strategy that will lead them to their ultimate goal - war with Russia a.k.a WW3. The US government applies a "Politics of Fear" policy, that needs a constant supply of enemies, in order to work. Apart from their weapons industry, that needs wars and conflicts in order to stay in business. Is it all for profit? Or is there another, more irrational motivation that works behind it all?

As ludicrous as it may sound, the US government, it seems, simply want to dominate the world, empire style. The agenda is gaining profit out of people's mysery and world domination.

This behavior is not simply psychopatic, it is insane, these actions are extremely unfit for civilized humanity in the 21st Century. There is no true effort for peace, because there is more profit in war.

If one comes to think about it, only USA and local partisan factions around the world, here and there, wage wars. United States of America is the only country in the world that wages wars with other countries, continuosly for over 50 years. Barbarians. Having brainwashed their population via propaganda and super-patriotism, they are getting ready for the next "small" step, another war, this time with Iran. Right on schedule. First it was Afghanistan, then Iraq, now it's Iran's turn in the middle. One has to be blind or mentally challenged in order not to see the pattern. And from there on, it's Russia, with the support of NATO and the Eagle Guardian. More on this in the next article.

And ordinary people, the US masses in particular, believe it all and are ready to pack up and go fight and die for another lie. I truly wonder what excuse will the average American devise for her/himself this time. May be it will be something like "Oh, if we didn't attacked them, they would have attacked us with nuclear bombs!". Insane!

You are out of your minds US public. It is such a pity that we have to live in such a primitive world, where "advanced" nations dusguise their primitivity under fake cultural humanities, hypocritical high ideals and cynical democratic freedoms. It is all complete BS, dust in the eyes for the made-retarded crowds. The average (North) American doesn't realize that the actual aggressor are they and that there is no pursue of any high ideals in these wars, but only geo-political influence for profiteering purposes, namely Oil and pure imperialism. Now I understand the events that led to these historical developments. In 1953 USA and Brittain used their secret organizations to remove from power the democratically elected leader of Iran - a well educated lawyer - who wanted to nationalize the oil industry, which was held by the Brittish, and thus to improve the standard of life of Iranians and to boost the development of Iran.

But these idealistic, socially-oriented visions of Dr. Mosaddeq conflicted with the selfish, self-righteous interests of Brittain and USA, thus they plotted to turn him down. And with the power of money so they did, replacing him with the Shah.

A few months ago, I thought that US and Brittish secret agencies again had a role in the subsequent events that took place in Iran, but now I understand that they didn't. Namely, the islamic revolution in 1979. This was when the US and UK lost control over Iran and over Iran's oil fields. And ever since, they want to reclaim this oil back.

And the stupified public will, again, be made to think that this war is for their protection, chanting patriotic slogans like "God bless our troops, risking their lives to defend us." God bless your stupidity. Ignorance is bliss. Right. Bliss, for those in power.

And this whole lust for profits up until the very last drop of oil is the major barrier for the development of new, advanced and clean energy technologies. Because there aren't enough investments put into research, because the emergence of any such serious new technology must be delayed until the last oil well goes dry.

Don't ask about sense nor rationality, there are none such. It's all driven by the most primitive motivators that exist in human nature. The conservative political groups, corporations and central banks want to continue to inflate the US and world economy, to follow the ups and downs of the "natural" economic cycles, to wage wars and simply to prevent humanity's further cultural development as much as they possibly can. Why, there is no answer, I guess because it's just fun. Apart from irrationally profitable.

Just notice how they step up with media propaganda, ragging about the imminent threat of Iran and their aggressive nuclear program.

Today mainstream media almost don't mention Osama Bin Laden anymore, because his image served its purpose and is not needed by US propaganda anymore. Think. Wake up.

Steps to war:

1. Demonize the Enemy

2. Exaggerate a Threat

3. Fake a Diplomatic Effort

4. Establish a Pretext

5. Pretend at some point that a line has been crossed and attack

Steps 1 through 4 involve huge amounts of propaganda, both national and international, in speeches, reports, via corporate media sources. Using the cultivated patriotic flare in USA citizens (that is easily turned into mindless zeal via strong, passionate propaganda) to win their support for a war.

Some wilfully ignorant, hopeless patriots would say "I don't care about all those war crimes, killings, monstrosities, we are the best and we will dominate this world". Yeah, you are the best, alright, only that your own government exploits its own citizens pretty good. After all, don't think that the average American profits anything from these wars, you only pay for them via your wide array of all kinds of increasing taxes, while the real profiteers are big corporations who don't give a damn about you average US citizens. It's time to wake up and actually become citizens, not just peasants. The dollar is on its way to become a worthless currency and USA will not succeed to dominate the world, rather their primitive aspirations will only lead to a Third World War that will obliterate half the world and will only bring misery and suffering, nothing more. It is possible that the idea for the Georgia Stones came from an annonymous prophet.

Yes, given the current development of events, the possibility of a WW3 in the near future is very high. And this is an uncomfortable thought, on the least. 

American population has the power to prevent this insanity, if they only could firmly stand against the military policy of their government. If the US public is able to wake up from their mental slumber and realize the illusion that has been put in front of their eyes.

Title: Iran is not the problem (2008)

No, Iran is not the problem. United States is. Indeed, the US laments over Iran's potential nuclear weapons, while the US themselves are unwilling to disarm theirs. Also, why the US doesn't speak up against Pakistan's or India's nukes? Because they don't have oil, on the one hand.

United States has been involved in the past 50 years in State-sponsored international terrorism via CIA operations around the world and various False Flag operations. Why is the US public wilfully casting a blind eye to all this? What is wrong, are they afraid? Afraid of their own government? USA has a history of sponsoring both sides of fighting factions all over the world, all throughout the 20th Century and continue to do so. They create terrorist organizations, only to fight with them later.
And that crazy notion "Axis of evil" that became so popular following 9/11 sounded really strange to me, coming from the mouth of a "western world" leader. But now, understanding more about the US political system and realizing that Bush is a Republican, the weird phrase came to place. So ridiculous. Axis of evil, lol. It is the subjective quality of the observer to put itself out of the observable.

Indeed. I mean, are there really republican senators and governors who don't "believe" in evolution? ..It's not a question of simply "believing", it's a question of rationale and facts. And another thing religious dogma does not tell you - have you thought on the connection between the synchronization between the main brain frequency state of human and the Shuman resonance and the relation of these to the "telepathy" effect?! Hm. Humanity will never reach this level of knowledge until we wage wars and behave like primitive monkeys.

Title: New American Century (2006)

The main points in the New American Century Project agenda:

• we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future (..for the future wars??)

• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values (...such a self-centeredness)

• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad [and]

• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles. (....pure propaganda)

In other words, we need to dominate the world and impose our ways on others. And those "ways", economic and political, are far from healthy, sustainable nor socially-oriented, but impose them anyway.

Here is the same documentary on a somewhat better quality at Information Liberation

What you can do about it? You can talk about these issues, bring attention to them. You can make petitions, assemble to public protests and peaceful disobedience. You can gather and say NO to war, no to propaganda. Be active citizens, use your "We the people" power for once, after more than a century of consenting and being a good flock of consumers.

"Propaganda is to Democracy as Violence is to Dictatorship"

Noam Chomsky

Peculiar exerpts from Wikileaks:

• How the US picks up diplomatic representatives:

"The cables reveal Washington's opinion on Gordon Brown's potential successors. David Miliband was deemed "too brainy", Alan Johnson had a "lack of killer instinct" and Harriet Harman was a "policy lightweight but an adept interparty operator". Source.

So, the person aspiring for a career in politics must not be too smart and should not have too high moral to qualify for a good candidate. Right. That is, if you are too smart, you should become a scientist or something, not politician. And if your moral values are too high, you should become a monk or something, not get involved in the sinful fields of politics.

What, you thought that politicians are smart people? Well, history proves otherwise quite definitively. And morals.. let's not even mention this way-out-of-place concept that has no place in politics, again, obviously, both in retrospection and today.

Ahh, if all the scientists in the world were to become politicians, the world would be such a better place to live in. No more funding for wars, instead increased investment in science, medicine, education. Utopia.

Here is another truth: We live in a twisted world, upside down. No wonder throughout history the most wicked, the most insane, the most barbaric and idiotic persons have ruled nations. The real question here is, why the "masses" allow such persons to attain leadership positions? Ponder this for a while. 

• Saudi youth are throwing hell of a parties, deep underground, right after the evening prayer. Cable document here.

Now, I don't mean to reprimand the young people wanting to party, even in a rather primitive way with lots of alcohol, drugs and prostitutes.. but a society based on hypocrisy and backwards social structure, where women are considered a lesser class of humans than men and social life is reduced to going to the malls and praying in mosques.


The wrong world.. such a bad luck. In a billion of universes, this one. Bummer. LoL

Update:

Here is a very interesting and insightful movie (animation) on Iranian society before and after 1979. As seen through the eyes of Marjane Satrapi, who was a kid during these times. Couldn't find it online, this is the trailer. I recommend watching the full movie, it will show you a society being a victim of  religious fundamentalism, just as western societies have been and still do fall victims to political propaganda.

Title: Persepolis (2007)

In a Free Society, We Are Supposed to Know the Truth. In a Society Where Truth Becomes Treason, We Are In Big Trouble. Wikileaks and the Post-Cablegate Geopolitical Scene

Today the truth about the dominant policy of western and eastern, northern and southern governments alike became obvious. Societies are being manipulated, abused, deceived and ruled by dictatorship-oriented totalitarian governments, whether openly or disguised as democracies. The revealed diplomatic documents by Wikileaks were supposed to create outrage in leaders concerned and serve as an awakening slap in the face for all slumbering societies. Instead, the leaders are either silent or outraged in condemnation, not for the highly cynical US diplomacy and politics, but for the whistleblower themselves, who dared to expose the truth as it is.

So, there it is. The truth about the lies finally surfaced definitively. And the reaction of US and world governments proved what their true policy is. It is a policy of manipulation and deception, not one of truth and freedom. There is no democracy in our world, there is capitalism, communism, dictatorship and various hideous political mixes of those three.

Today's politics is a dirty game of propaganda and wealth-accumulation that has nothing to do with creating a better world for the average person. Governments work for corporations and not for the people. The only democratic element that blinds people into thinking they have power to choose – voting – is another deception, because political campaigns are sponsored by corporations, not tax-payer money, as people may think. And the source of the biggest propaganda and political hypocrisy in the world, it seems, is USA. The censorship there turns out to be rivaling that of China and old totalitarian regimes, like the USSR. Yet, the American public is turning a blind eye to all this, still believing they live in a free country. A willful ignorance, silently supporting its own slavery. But, do they have a choice? What can be done? Can anything be done at this point? Can people reclaim their true freedom? Are people able to tell apart freedom from enslavement at all?

"In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble" is a recent remark of Ron Paul regarding the unfolding events around the Wikileaks scandal. 

Congressman Ron Paul who had no chance of reaching the final rounds of the last presidential elections in USA, don't wonder why.

Governments and corporations take actions into closing down the whistleblower website. This act alone is quite evident as to the lack of true freedom in our modern "democratic" world. Some US politicians have even called for the assassination of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, because he is such a treat for freedom and justice. We are witnessing live a huge censorship on truth and liberty in front of our eyes. An act, that some people thought unthinkable in western democratic societies.

About the leaked documents:

"The cables show the extent of US spying on its allies and the UN; turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuse in "client states"; backroom deals with supposedly neutral countries; lobbying for US corporations; and the measures US diplomats take to advance those who have access to them. This document release reveals the contradictions between the US’s public persona and what it says behind closed doors" 

Find the documents here, until this location lasts.

The truth is, we live in a deeply messed up world today, very much resembling scenarios like the ones portrayed in literature like "1984" and "Brave New World". And it is up to people, at large, to wake up and change the course of history. Together, united by reason, honesty, moral, solidarity and humanism.

"None are more enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free"

"We live in a mentally challenged world" Oh, yeah, the blatantly obvious truth. One of the many.
