“The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced with a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.” – The Revolution Betrayed, Leon Trotsky

"My response is as follows:

1. A lack of quality moments in life (moments of connection, gratitude, love and joy - especially when being of service).

2. Plenty of quality moments.

3. Being spiritually lost; out of touch with their hearts and the inner guide/voice of God. People are struck by poverty when they deny their heart and lose their way to themselves. One sure sign of this is boredom. So one ends up being poor in the midst of material plenty."

"My idea of Poverty :

There are two kinds of Poverty. ONE is the obvious poverty of not having the basics of living.

The Basics (traditionally) are: Food, Shelter and Clothing.

In today’s urban societies, I would define the basics as having --

a) Enough money to buy raw food that one can prepare oneself at home for breakfast and dinner. And sufficient money to buy oneself a meal at a hawker centre. Also sufficient money for public transport (bus, mass rapid transport).

b) A place to live that is the equivalent in comfort to a 2 room HDB (Housing Development Board) flat for one to two persons and a 3 room HDB for a family.

c) Clothing: I think that even the poorest among us now have more clothes than they need. However, in temperate countries where temperatures plunge in winter, the poor do not have sufficient warm clothing – especially if they cannot afford heating or are living on the streets.

Every one, in any society, deserves to have their basic needs met.

TWO – The second type of Poverty (which is much more commonplace in ruthlessly capitalistic meritocratic societies like Singapore) is what I would call a ‘Poverty MINDSET’.

This is a mindset that believes that one never has enough. If one owns a 5 room HDB, then one aspires to own a private condominium with swimming pool . For the condo dweller, he/she aspires to upgrade to a bungalow in an ‘exclusive’ district or to own two condos etc etc…

People with ‘poverty mindsets’ are continuously envying others and striving to have more money; to have bigger, better, fancier, more exclusive cars, homes, club memberships, credit cards, jewellery etc.

Their children have to be smarter, go to more exclusive kindergartens/schools/colleges etc…they aspire to holiday in far-away exclusive resorts…

Such people are morally and spiritually bankrupt…and they gravitate like sheep to evangelical religious leaders who preach what is now called ‘Prosperity Gospel’ ….so SAD!

The award-winning movie – Singapore Dreaming captures the collective ‘yearnings’ of 90+% of Singaporeans, all caught in this ‘poverty mindtrap’ .

My Idea of Abundance –

Ah, abundance is Contentment with one’s lot in life…

One may be materially ‘poor’ by the standards of those with a ‘poverty mindset', but the person who is at Peace with himself/herself, who finds purpose and fulfillment in what he/she does everyday, who has little material ‘desires’ and has many friends (and no enemies) and has a big happy family and who is thankful and feels Blessed by the Universe (or God) …that person lives a life of ‘abundance.’

* I have far less than my peers who are all graduates and retired much later than I. (I own no house, no car) as I became economically ‘unproductive' since 1994 when I went to live in Darwin [Australia] with my husband Richard. I was in my late 40s. However, I feel blessed with abundance (good health since I turned vegetarian in 1995/96 and started daily qigong, and now Homa Therapy) and have just applied to live in Malaysia [where she sometimes resides], building an eco-cottage in Tanjung Sutera family resort and creating an eco food garden there and putting in eco technologies. I am putting my money into leasing land and buying seeds and planting and teaching all to 'Balik Kampung' for natural drug-free health and happiness.

Why are People Poor?/Why is there Poverty?

If you ask the PAP (People's Action Party) government they will assert that the ‘poor’ in Singapore are only a handful and public assistance is there to help them. I totally disagree as there are many (I do not know the numbers, various NGO aid agencies may be able to help, I have lost touch although I was the founding vice chairperson of The Breadline Group in 1976 when I was a journalist – but I know from the current chairperson that the numbers of poor, sick, destitute applying for Breadline group ‘financial aid’ in addition to public assistance is on the up and up).

Morever, since I returned to live in Singapore (after my Australian husband unexpectedly passed away in 2004) and decided that for various reasons: a) going green & walking my talk b) I would have to return to ‘work’ to support my ‘car’,

I have been using buses, MRT and taxis and talk to people in buses and taxi drivers.

I learned for example from Aida, a Malay woman whom I started a conversation with on a bus, that she is a toilet cleaner. I was so surprised that this slim, neatly dressed woman who spoke such good English should be cleaning toilets (for a police station).

“I thought you were a librarian," I said. Curious, I asked her age and she answered, “Well I am 50+”

“But what did you do when you were younger," I asked.

“Well, I was a salesgirl for a cosmetic company,” and she shared that she used to earn “$1,300/-+ in those days, 30 years ago which was big money to a young single girl” but Aida now earns $700.

So, with an ever-growing younger and better educated workforce, plus the continuous ‘flooding-in’ of foreign workers (who can afford to the lower pay because their other living expenses are met by their employer, even if they have to cramp four to a room) the Aidas of our society, with their families to feed, will just get poorer and poorer.

Take the case of the poor Malay man who was crushed to death by the boom of the tree-pruning truck just a week ago. His death revealed that this 50 year-old Singaporean was earning only about $300/- a month and supporting a wife and four young men/boys (one on dialysis, another in hospital for depression and a third a slow learner). IF this poor man had not died, would we have known of the family’s plight ?

He and Aida would just be mere negligible statistics in our GDP or GNP records.

Now, why is there a rampant Poverty Mindset in Singapore, even among those who, by the homes they live in, cars they drive should be happily enjoying a comfortable middle-class lifestyle?

This is because in a Consumer-driven, competitively ruthless Capitalist society that we have become over the past 30 years. People at all levels feel driven (almost a mass neurosis, amounting to hysteria when their child can’t get into a particular school) to have more and more and more of everything – to buy and buy, to spend and spend, to show and show-off….

The Core Values that are being promoted: Greed is Good, it makes us competitive (better than our neighbour next door, better than our neighbouring countries), a shallow consumer-driven culture of Eating and Shopping only reveals how pathetic a society we have become…how impoverished we have become in the things that really matter – and that is a life well and truly lived not for Self and narrow nationalistic bounderies but seeing All as ONE on Mother Earth, one with all…..the animals, plants, insects, even minerals."

 

Jayne Tang (In her 30s, dancer):

"1. What is your idea of poverty?

• My idea of poverty is when one is constantly in fear of --"Not Having Enough"....no matter how much they have or being blessed with.

• Do not live consciously enough to be feeling blessed and being in joy of WHAT IS...e.g. Addicted to making money for the wrong reasons.

• Afraid of tossing out old ideas, stuff, things, concepts, belief systems or things or even people/loved ones that were non-supportive anymore....(so mostly become a hoarder of life...with anything they can find or be attached to....always fearing of loosing something to someone or situation/circumstances...).

• Afraid of success...cannot handle the pressure/challenges of what Successes will take...(as success brings chaos and changes...)

  2.  What is your idea of abundance?

• Knowing with deep trust that we are always being provided and blessed no-matter-what the situation of our life looks like....

• Living life without guilt and regrets...and feeling the fullness of what life can give us...

• Every situation, person, things or circumstances is/are, a gift /opportunity to transform our life for higher growth & expansion...in manifesting abundance emotionally, mentally and physically....

• Feeling blessed with most things in our life and staying in joyfulness as much as possible no matter what...that's abundance!! Cause it is all there is...it's how our perspectives of seeing in things with light & colour of abundance...like the Beautiful Sky that gives us protection from the Sun, the Trees that gives us shade...the River that flows to irrigate plants and animals to drink from it...

• Good peers, friends and associates that care for us and are always there for us, when we need them...

• Above all else, we all have abundance within us...like love, joy, peace and blissfulness....

1. Why are people poor/why is there poverty?

• Because we are afraid of deserving and being WHO WE REALLY ARE, in-terms of receiving the best of best, could be the old conditioning of our poverty consciousness from many many many generations, where our Great GrandParents/GrandParents/Parents are afraid of "Not Having Enough" or "Success"...

• It is our subconscious mind that is fearful of handling great wealth, success, great health, beauty...that we are all conditioned to take a hard way/suffering methods to achieve and receive...so we spin in a circle of poverty.

• It's our individual or collective fear that if one gets rich, another will be poor...so we rather stick to being poor mentally and that no one gets rich at all (have self sabotage all the time, in pulling ourselves down, so that we don't have to shine through or be brilliant as who we really are meant to be as in 'bigger' or wealthier, it's the FEAR OF SUCCESS that is keeping people poor...therefore there is poverty. It's also a reflection of a big part of us that we are still wanting poverty as a comfort zone in this world...or a very familiar space that has been around for eons. Whereas wealth & richness is unfamiliar and causes discomfort.)...or the deep jealousy of the rich, that the poor rather stay poor. (There are many root causes to the poverty mentality, but mainly the FEAR OF SUCCESS is the biggest culprit).

• Then of course, there is the other side of the story, where the Rich also keep taking advantage of the poor where they have less power to counter-react in time & space...so there is an enormous amount of imbalance or 'victimisation' of the poor where the resentment builds up over time and blows up into violence or warfare. Then the injustice comes also where the poor will keep justifying their poverty situation and calling up for help."

 

Ong Wooi-Hsen (Aged 43, lecturer):

"1. What is your idea of poverty?

Most people might look at this strictly from the material plane only and I believe that for some, it might be a real bread and butter issue or what Don William's might call 'the rising costs of getting by'. It is however interesting to note from two previous reports in The Straits Times in separate articles over the past three years or so when the 'happiness index' of peoples of the world is measured. It appears that North East Thailand and Bhutan have the happiest people in the world. I suspect that their isolation and the fact that they have less access to the modern material culture saves them (to some extent) the 'unlimited wants' of the modern economic man.

I'd like to extend the definition of 'poverty' to include any resource that limits a person's development in his community. Outside of spirituality in the religious context, this could include values like 'diligence', 'responsibility', 'respect', 'love' etc. Poverty could also be in the lack of skills that will disenable a person to perform effectively as a contributing member of his community.

2. What is your idea of abundance?

Abundance to me means the wealth of resouces available to an individual as he lives his life. It does not merely refer to the material wealth that some are born with or acquire. This is because material possessions and the need to acquire them is closely related to our needs and wants. Hunters and gatherers have traditionally been called 'the original affluent societies' as all the means to their access for their needs are available around them with each adult tribal member being quite self-sufficient in acquiring his needs. During times of famine, tribes break up into smaller teams or even individually to forage over larger areas to enhance the carrying capacity of the land.

The modern economic man is a victim of the division of labour in a largely artificial built-up environment. Our survival is much dependent now on school certificates, the ability to make money in a good job to enjoy the creature comforts and products created by another group of people. It is a potentially risky situation as we cannot find or manufacture these products on our own. Any breakdown in the system means the deprivation of access to that product which is deemed increasingly not a want but a need (e.g. electrionic goods).

3. Why are people poor/why is there poverty? At the strictly material level, this is the result of an unfavourable distribution of resources. Many rich nations would rather destroy their bountiful output (to keep prices competitive) than to send over the extra agricultural output to poorer nations. This makes good economic sense but it means others will be deprived and they will starve to death. There are theories that suggest that for survival of the species, we should not help the starving millions. They are just not meant to survive. Helping them survive means making a local problem become a regional and global one.

Another school of thought (backed by some formulae) suggests pessimistically that the carryiing capacity of the earth was exceeded in 1985 which means that we are living on borrowed time (as a species).

At the non-material level, poverty is a perceived notion. Henry Thoreau's experience at Walden suggests that man can subsist on quite minimal resources. While I am not promoting the extreme experience of Thoreau, I believe that Toffler's 'throw-away society' is very much a way of life for most people living in an urban environment. We can certainly consume less and generate less waste.

Sometimes, we live in poverty because we get caught up in the material culture. Sadly, we often forget that we have a choice between having a $500 wallet with $5 inside and having a $5 wallet with $500 inside. It is our human condition that we must examine our lives and acquire skills and values that will contribute in some way to meaning in our lives. Otherwise, we remain trapped in our material as well as non-material prison.

Personally, I live well. I have almost everything that I want and I continue to upgrade my life in material and non-material ways. I am mindful not to generate waste. I recycle and make use of what other people throw away (quite tastefully, I've been told). More affluent peers have asked how I manage in real surprise and I am lost for an answer. I have always thought that I was almost thriving in this urban jungle. I speak with everyone (rich or poor, powerful or desperate) as everyone has their story like I have mine. I work hard to acquire skills to be an effective contributing member of my community. As a gardener, I understand delayed gratification in that it takes time to enjoy the fruits of my labour. In reality, even if fruiting escapes me, the journey would have been worth it. If I ever lose it all, I'll just start again. I have eighty years (God willing) to leave a legacy. I hope God grants me the wisdom towards action or inaction in my quest to leave an impactful legacy in this existence.

I write this not with arrogance but with a quiet understanding in my larger definition of wealth or poverty in relation to the human condition. I have been blessed and I am ever grateful for God's grace. That sums up for me that 'gratefulness' remains one of mankind's most underrated virtues."

 

Debby Ng (Aged 28, photojournalist):

"Poverty exists when people feel disempowered. I believe it is a state of mind. That notion may seem disillusioned and naive, but consider this: I met a girl (let's call her Sabina) in Nepal who had dropped out of school because her family could no longer afford it. She was the oldest amongst her three siblings, which meant that her two siblings would not have been able to go to school as well. Her father was an alcoholic, despite being the most educated in her family - he graduated from college. Her mother worked desperately as a janitor to keep things together, but things were falling apart. They didn't own a home. They were one family amongst millions in Nepal who were grappling with life.

Then, providence. Sabina's situation was picked up by a social worker working with a foundation that offered scholarships to underprivileged women. After an assessment, Sabina was accepted as a recipient of the scholarship. She was put into a school, but that wasn't it. Staff at the foundation didn't just give Sabina a scholarship, they became her mentors. They encouraged her to work hard, instilled belief in herself, nurtured her being and her soul, thus empowering her. Just as her world was falling apart, Sabina suddenly had hope. Quantitatively, she was by all definition, "in poverty", but qualitatively, she was enabled and empowered. She could once again, dream of a future. A future was possible, although the present was pathetic.

With her empowerment, Sabina brought her education home, educating her illiterate mom, and teaching her to read and write. She taught her sisters too. She also taught her educated father, encouraged him to give up alcoholism and work to support the family. Eight years on, the family that was about to live off the streets, now own a two story apartment in the outskirts of Kathmandu, renting out the lower level for income. Sabina is a nurse, her sister teaches at an elementary school, and her mother works as an administrator at a school. If you quantified their collective income, they might still be considered to be living in poverty on many scales, but to the family, they have achieved more than they ever dreamed of. They are not rich. They can't afford luxuries. They still have to be thrifty. But they are happy, they are at peace, and they can afford to dream.

I have met many families in Nepal with similar and perhaps, even more desperate stories.

Abundance is a simple concept to me. It is simply having more than you need. Take all the things you need to survive, anything more than that, is an abundance. Most people then, live in abundance. If we could perceive that, perhaps there would be less suffering. We need to want what we have. Whether tangible, or intangible.

"1. What is your idea of poverty?

Of course, not being able to afford basic necessities such as food, housing, an education, etc. but being 'culturally impoverished' would be my idea of poverty too. Was it some Persian poet who wrote; I forget who it was that, "If you are down to your last two pennies, buy bread with one and hyacinths with the other to feed your soul", or something to that effect. Not being able to attend opera, symphonies, art exhibitions, take walks in beautiful parks or grow a lovely garden 'to feed the soul' would be just as dreadful, if not worse to me as not being able to afford groceries.

2. What is your idea of abundance?

State funding for the arts and support for artists. When we can afford art for art's sake and creativity is able to soar without artists having to worry about earning enough for their next meal. When myself as a painter and sculptor will no longer have to work on little kitschy items for quick sales just to survive.

3. Why is there poverty?

Law of the jungle? I think it will always persist as there will always be those good at acquiring wealth, and the others whose talents lie elsewhere...like artists. Perhaps we actually need poverty around so that humanity doesn't get too soft and flabby in the long run.

My personal observation each time I return to Singapore is that the contrast between Singapore and the US grows ever more pronounced.

Without meaning any offense to American sensibility; honestly, stepping off the plane into Singapore from National Airport in Washington,D.C. is like moving from the 20^th century to the 21st and from a third world country to the first world. While the US now appears steeped in poverty with an increasingly run-down infrastructure, soaring unemployment, beggars at road corners, frequent power outages, lack of basic services, lack of health care, etc., and a general air of decline and decay...Singapore flaunts ever-growing affluence -- slick, modern, squeaky clean public places, amazing new building projects, growth and abundance everywhere. I wonder if Americans are generally aware that they are now the 'new poor' lagging behind countries they tended to consider 'less developed'.

A down-side (for visitors from the US) to all this growth is how expensive a travel destination Singapore has become. I had come with the happy expectation of finding good bargains like in previous years but, alas, prices are now beyond what I would expect to pay in the US and even food and transport costs appear to have increased. Returning to live in Singapore and maintaining a similar lifestyle would also now be a sheer impossibility for a middle income earner from the US. Home and car prices in Singapore are unbelievable and beyond prohibitive!

The economic crisis in the US has affected all aspects of life and the art scene has suffered most severely. Funding and support for the arts has been the first thing to be be cut, being regarded as 'non-essential' for survival. It's extremely unfortunate that this is the case because the arts are the repository of our culture and perhaps ultimately, our humanity. I think our ancestors became sapient man the moment symbolic thought appeared and he was able to draw an animal figure on a cave wall. Diminishing the role of art in our lives is a sad and serious loss indeed."

 

ONE of Karl Marx's quotable quotes includes his comment that history repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce. So much of the twentieth century will be remembered as tragedy. So much of the last century will also be seen as farce.

This is because while we had two world wars, we then followed them by a cold war and the idea of a mutually assured destruction which was supposed to ensure the peace. Is it any wonder that one of the hit comics to come out from the 1950s was Mad with its farcical mascot Alfred E. Neuman and the incessant intrigues of “Spy vs. Spy” an espionage spoof.

From the quasi-serious and stylish early Bond films to the movies becoming caricatures of themselves in the 80s, and in the epitome of the cold war which culminated in a sense with the farce/slapstick of Austin Powers: you knew something bizarre was afoot in the mass psyche.

Ultimately, the whole idea of a nuclear sword of Damocles masquerading as an ‘umbrella’ meant to keep the peace (sic), was meant by the controllers of our world to initiate planet earth into an armed camp scenario. The manifesto of the 20^th century is clearly the perverse obverse side to the Orwellian axiom 'war is peace', where peace would also mean war in some form.

We also had the revolutions of the 1960s which resulted in a kind of change that descended into drugs, riots and assassinations throughout the world of various leaders. The global stage was fast becoming a multifarious drama aptly expressed by Polonius as “tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral” and whatnot.

But we took it some steps further. War is peace and peace is war. We started to wage peaceful war and have war within the ambit of peace. We started blind material obsession, profit mongering and a death-wish driven consumerism (in the background, like music from the Doors, were many so-called low intensity conflicts of which Vietnam was a highly intense one).

Yet we became sophisticated. Our consumer death-wish would see us decide to ‘shop till we drop’ and have euthanasia via ‘death by chocolate’. We would allow our unbridled appetites and destructive individualism to be manipulated by the media and legislate politically various ways to allow ourselves to die (politely called ‘pulling the plug’). We also took experimentation with execution ranging from hemp rope, bullets and electricity, to chemicals with lethal injection.

We used the knowledge gained from biological and chemical warfare from world wars to start poisoning one another. Logically, it meant we ended up using stuff like DDT in pesticides and called it progress: what was used to kill other humans in battle zones seeped into the food chain and destroyed not only various life forms and upset the ecological balance, but also had a nefarious effect on people. Yes, malaria and other diseases need control but do we have to harm ourselves as well?

In the name of science and progress, we have the mash up of big capital with scientific endeavour and academic research, and we discover that scientifically – regular and extensive use of synthetic chemicals in our food (and continued mass use of pesticides) are good and profitable. Any attempts to criticize any of this is a sign of unscientific irrationality. We learn that smoking doesn't necessarily cause cancer, and radiation from electrical equipment, hand phones and worse, microwave ovens, are not only profitable with the correct perspective but anyone against it lives in the dark ages.

The point is we are in the dark ages, the age of  Kalki as the Hindus would call it. We have reached the point where we believe that science and technology are in themselves an amorphous new Acropolis of human civilization while becoming completely cut off from our spiritual roots, and we wonder why the world is the way it is. This is farce-slapstick and well beyond Polonius's combinations.

But what takes the fruit cake is our belief that the vacuous ideology of Democracy is the ultimate goal of civilization. The West will even go to war to not only defend but spread it like a virus. This is where we come to the point in the 21^st century where we go beyond Marx's dictum and have evolved our history inexorably into slapstick.

Make no mistake, slapstick is appropriately defined as that which involves “exaggerated violence and activities which exceed the boundaries of common sense”. If that isn’t a defining characteristic of the world, nothing is.

Despite all the fuss over elections in so-called democracies, the millions spent on advertising and marketing, media commentaries, stump speeches, and all sorts of promises, are people really better off?

Curiously, things are worsening economically and politically worldwide. The counterpoint to this is that the change in the Middle East is a sign that even there one finally encounters limits to what people will take. It shows just how low things have gone that people are starting to rise up in places they normally don't against their regimes anyway. This is only the beginning.

The reason is that despite the rhetoric of politicos the world is governed, not by politicians (though they may think they are in charge), but by vested interests that actually determine to a large extent (for the worse) how things go. We mean here the international banking cartel and their families and children in the form of mega corporations and defence industries world wide: most born out of wedlock.

All these not only operate in the dark, with as much lack of transparency as possible and have produced and proliferated a scientific-technological dark age. These efforts are abetted by our ignorance and unwillingness to face up to many truths about the world. Science, tainted by self serving ego and big money is sadly the willing handmaiden of corruption in its many forms.

This is the high end dark age where we have reached the point of no return and must find our way back into the light. And it is going to be a struggle. Why would the dark age perpetrators make it easy for anyone to escape their clutches? This is still not the funny part, but here it comes.

With each successive 'democratically' elected government you have the same situation which is unemployment, deep emotional imbalance in homes and the work force, divisiveness and resentment expressed through high-tech means, the rich getting richer (though some get their hands duly burnt) and the poor spreading everywhere. Even to be middle class now is to be poor in some way. Global currencies are generally running on empty and the US dollar is a joke (trying not to use 'farce' too often).

No one government dares to challenge and upset the banking and corporate cartel because they are either hostages to them or are party to their intrigues (sometimes a combination). How many governments dare to tell banks and corporations to get their act together, enforce discipline and ensure transparency in their activities unequivocally? Until laws are changed to make banking and corporate institutions accountable to governments and the public, they will never serve the interest of the people.

For governments to actually act like governments would be to risk the banks and businesses telling some governments to take a hike (and give somebody else their tax hikes, like the people), as they threaten to go pack up their stalls and go to some other market place (when some do so, experts call it 'globalization'). In other words, governments – especially democracies – shiver in their pants when confronted by the dark spirit Mammon who says it, and it alone -- the guiding spirit of the money changers of the world who are always uniting -- is responsible for the circulation of money and work opportunities for the measly citizens.

Marx was wrong in that it was not the spectre of communism that was haunting the world as it was already possessed by the dark forces of capitalism. And as in the case of most exorcisms, it isn’t secular stuff that is going to rid the world of incubi that have impregnated the world with the money changers’ teachings of neo-classical economics, greed, constant sense of lack, mindless competition, and fear mongering. Sometimes a war or two are thrown in at bargain prices.

Despite pomp and circumstance of political office as in that of the President of the United Corporations of America (USA), for instance, you see in action those who are impotent to effect any real change. Whatever change that is enacted must result in confrontation with the money changers and then who cares what your title/post is? You can talk and shout all you want in congress and parliament, but you know bloody well who runs things around here.

Democracy today is the hiding place of fear. It is the fear and subjection of people and their elected representatives in not angering too much the money changers. We have bamboozled ourselves to thinking we are in charge and that democracy means freedom and a whole lot of other niceties: but ask yourselves – how much has really changed?

Don’t be fooled by the ‘human nature’ argument. Sure, the inability of humans to govern their emotions has resulted in their having to elect others to govern them; the inability of humans to have self control has resulted in their surrendering their moral conscience to institutional religion and corporations. We even have to surrender our sense of ethics to nebulous and harmful notions of ‘corporate social conscience’ (here farce turns into slapstick) and thinking that what causes harm to humans and the planet can actually do good to one and all.

It’s like killing all that’s good in one part of the world and then going to some corner and planting a fruit tree, which in turn gets killed etc, and there will be no amount of fertile earth left to make reparations for the ambition of the money changers.

We can travel into outer space and get involved in the pornographic details of nano technology but are unable to create sustainable, healthy, ethical and abundance sharing enterprises (guess why?).

There is something wrong on Earth.

We have reached such a point of pathology that we can listen to the mainstream media with all its amorality and immorality as stories flit from heinous crimes and acts of brutal violence, to royal weddings and scores of football games. We have become so desensitized that we can discuss the destruction of a human being’s life or reputation and with aplomb switch to the weather and what stocks to invest in.

This schizophrenic tendency which is regarded as normal today, also sees in democracies huge amounts spent on annual dinners, official openings of events and launches of some damned thing or the other; but all the time we have people who are in need and want.

Here comes more farce-slapstick, where you don’t know whether your tears come from laughter: we can even use scripture to deviously say, ah, but there will always be the poor. Must we deprive others of a good time as there will always be those in dire straits. Come on and think of all the money that is splashed around, what? This is scientifically proven by economics as ‘Growth’.

There is no reason for us not to celebrate and be happy. It always helps to smile and show kindness to people around you as that tends to generate a similar response. But in public life there must always be a sense of balance, decency and morality to know that you can’t throw state money on banquets when your citizens are going through difficult times. Some call this is disgraceful, most call it democracy.

Is it any wonder then that no matter who you vote for, things are the same? Unless things actually become worse as is happening now and as it will continue. Some resolution must be in the offing as this state of international debt and swindle is obviously reaching critical mass.

Instead of clinging on to worn out and failed ideas like democracy, which hide the grip of the money changers of the world, we need to look at new ways and ideas of empowering citizens. Democratic practices in the use of elections and ensuring a broad representation of citizens in decision making will be a necessity. This will tend to provide the ethical leavening necessary to raise some sort of system that serves people and life in general. It might even reduce wars.

The changes needed to initiate most of the positive aspects indicated here involve not changes in the poorer countries, though it helps. The world changes and bringing about a just, fair, and ethical grounding to local and international affairs starts with the democracies. They are the source of so much of the world's trouble. Once the democracies change, the world will follow suit. If the people in democracies do not push for change through citizen activism and new ideas on governance and economic practice, then things are going to get a lot rougher.

And this would also require visionary and moral leaders, and those who are not afraid of the money changers. None at present seem to exist that any of us are aware of in a manifest manner. We need leaders who realize that there’s more to life than protecting one’s bank balance. We need citizens who realize that they have to stand up for what is right and that they need to let go of fear and stop allowing themselves to be kept in perpetual thralldom by the money changers.

Which also means that if you fear adversity, you will fear change. No one wants unnecessary hardship but unless we speak up and act now, difficulties can only mount.

The solutions to many of these problems are spiritual ones which involve not only acting from conscience, but understanding that there is divine purpose to everything. That when faith, compassion, common sense, forgiveness and daring are mixed judiciously, the people of the world will finally be able to chase the money changers out of the temple once and for all.

But it starts from chasing out fear from the temple of our hearts.

We are fast approaching the event horizon in history where we will have to create and adopt a new way of living that safely takes us into the time and space of post-capitalism and post-democracy.

To end, I must mention a joke from many years ago about how in the Soviet Union scientists managed to revive the embalmed Lenin (this is actually miraculous as the man’s brain and all his organs have been removed as part of the preservation process).

Vladmir Ilyich was then sequestered in a comfortable room to acclimatize to the world he was living in. As the days went by, he asked for and read voraciously many newspapers to catch up with what was happening in the USSR and the world. After several days of this routine, his handlers entered the room as usual to bring him his tray of food. But the man was gone.

There on the table, was a note: ‘We must begin again!’

We have to put aside all preconceptions and ideologies and, most of all fear, and open ourselves to the truth we have always known within but have refused to acknowledge, that indeed – we must begin again.

 

 

Path to Perdition

The world has been fixated for decades in using GDP (gross domestic product) as measurement of economic growth thereby replacing all humane and spiritual values as a means of providing balance to what not only genuine growth is, but whether in the process we are leading even vaguely meaningful lives. The tendency to focus exclusively on the misguided notion of ‘productivity’ at all costs has led to the kind of ‘growth’ that is not only destructive all round but ruinous to our health as human beings.

Sofsky goes on to write about the extermination process of the CCs (bold and italics mine):

“A death factory is a work organization whose purpose is the annihilation of large numbers of human beings…Mass annihilation was organized on the basis of a division of labour. The process was integrated into a kind of assembly line, its stations coordinated in temporal sequence. Killing was mechanized by the installation of stationary gas chambers, into which hundreds of persons were lured and then poisoned by carbon monoxide or hydrocyanic acid fumes. The death factory was an apparatus that functioned smoothly, virtually trouble-free, working at a high capacity and speed. A death train arrived at the ramp in the morning; by the afternoon, the bodies had been burned, and the clothing brought to the storerooms.” (p259, Sofsky)

No doubt, ‘productivity’ can be applied to the above. No doubt efficiency and high volume of results are showcased by the quote. But to even ask at what ‘price’ belies the horror of what Sofsky’s words describe. Yet we have bought into this system where whatever the human, environmental and spiritual cost, there is the need to mindlessly churn out stuff to keep GDP ‘growth’ going. Never mind the non-monetary cost, anything that doesn’t add to the mechanized numerical increase of monetary measurement is just an externality (economists love this term). The human being and the whole world is an externality: so you have the dangerously ridiculous situation of mindless ‘production’ and ‘growth’ while destroying the planet and its life forms that sustain that ‘growth’ apparently for the good of the human species.

Therefore, many economists would be aptly represented as dangerous bozos.

Normally people who think like the above are clinically diagnosed with various mental issues, but up to now, we give them titles, degrees, Nobel prizes and call them ‘experts’, ‘leaders’ and ‘captains’ of industry. And so the term GDP, in honour of such illustrious ones, will be used here as gDp which signifies gross Destructive product as a more accurate way to depict their fantasy of 'growth'. [For more details on new ways of measuring growth and the blatant harmful nature of GDP as it transforms into gDp, please see the earlier posts at this site.]

While some of us struggle to bring across the facts to help the rest of the world to come to an understanding as to why GDP = gDp, a likely scenario that will develop increasingly is one where GDP as a measurement will be clung onto while different ways of measuring progress like the GPI, or Genuine Progress Indicator, may be used in tandem with it to provide ballast. But either the GPI or something similar will finally have to replace the GDP/gDp as a growth measure.

In the end, the way we destroy the natural world, its ecosystems and our selves with gDp is parallel to the death factories where we are in effect using the misguided notions of neoclassical economics meshed with fear and anxiety promoted by the controllers of the world to forge a world of Terror: maintain a system of production that creates inequality throughout the globe through exploitation of human and natural resources resulting eventually in a culling of the global population as a way of limiting population growth and further competition for resources.

The 20^th century has seen the ultimate attempt by the OT to assert its control over all of us by excessive mechanization and dehumanization of the entire planet (bold and italics). As Sofsky says:

“Along with the state monopoly on violence, rational bureaucracy, and organized work, modernity has also given rise to sites of discipline, surveillance, and conditioning. Modernity has confined human beings for life and trained them to be obedient, docile subjects. The manufacturing plant, industrial factory, and administrative office are the centres of bookkeeping and bureaucratic filing, economic exploitation and political rule. However, the military barracks, prison, penal colony, hospital, workhouse, and insane asylum – these total institutions are the laboratories of power. Here, far from the scrutiny of public surveillance, a special agenda is pursued: the transformation of human beings by other human beings…But in the concentration camp, no one was supposed to be healed, educated, or trained to obedience. Absolute power makes use of the technology of the disciplines, liberates them from their aims, and transforms them into instruments of terror. Its systematic nature is based on this transfer of the disciplines of control, on the coerced unification of action, its Gleichschaltung [“forcible coordination” or reorganizing all social, political, and cultural organizations to be controlled and run according to Nazi ideology and policy]; on minute, total surveillance and control.” (p277, Sofsky)

Again look at how our daily schedules and our entire lives have had all sequence of time come under fitting into the murderous Procustean bed of the work flow. Virtually every aspect and time frame of our existence has been absorbed and forced into the “forcible coordination” of survival, attending to material needs, and fear and trembling not only about our future and that of our loved ones, but the saturation of violence and mistrust bred across the world (played up to a scatological degree by the mass media).

The ultimate sign of victory for the “forcible coordination” of our existence to the capitalist structure of monetary growth and value is the belief that ‘time is money’ and phrases like ‘buying time’. We have lost all control of our lives when we are plugged into a system of control, like in the CC, where our entire value system and the way we ‘spend our time’ is crunched and assimilated into the living dead concept of money being the centre of gravity of the world. Space-time and gravity are no longer natural phenomena and part of cosmic laws, they have undergone with us the “forcible coordination” into adjusting to acknowledging and worshipping money and those who control it as the blasphemous multi-headed hydra at the centre of darkness.

Before examining how the OT has tried to control all of us, we need to look closer at what the ideology of control they have been carefully and successfully pulling across the globe. This may sound difficult to accept at first, but careful thought and researching and the willingness to suspend preconditioned thought will help give a different perspective to the world we are living in.

The ideology that the promoters of Terror have used to spread the gospel of hate, prejudice, destruction and domination is known to us today as ‘democracy’, not Democracy as we have a theoretical or intuitive understanding of, but ‘democracy’ as spread by major proponents of this ideology. This is why it is hard to spot and come to grips with it because it is like the most insidious of viruses – it masks itself as that which is ‘helpful’ to the individual/society but is in effect the start of a destructive consumption of life.

First, try this exercise: spend some time thinking of what you think genuine freedom and Democracy is for an individual and for a society, a nation, and the rest of the world. Write it down irrespective of whether it sounds ‘utopian’. Be honest about it as it is a private exercise. Compare what you have written (take your time with this) to what you will read further on. [Stop reading this post here, and try this exercise. After thinking through what you’ve written, then continue reading on. But, yes, I already here the objection: ‘who has the time….?’]

Below are some aspects of what ‘democracy’ as an ideology, masquerading as Democracy as a political philosophy or idea, has tried to do so as to enslave us:

1. Follow the ‘American’ way unconditionally according to the diktats of, for instance, the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld regime (you can look at this in the context of almost any US administration in living memory with arguably the exception of Kennedy’s). Bear in mind that both Bushes have openly declared that they have “hate” in their “hearts” towards their so-called ‘enemies’. This is a matter of public record, check it up. This was used at least in relation to North Korea and its nutty (no, not the lovely Thelonious Monk piece) leader. We would normally link those who call themselves ‘leaders’ and voice out hate openly for others as leaders of another sort, but certainly not of Democracy

2. This means: unimpeded access by the US and its so-called allies to (this is not in reference to the people of the countries but the network of controllers who secretly run the country, government, business, media, pharmaceuticals, etc) all countries and economies throughout the globe for what suits their own interests

3. Meaning: unimpeded access by the controlling cabal in the ‘US’ (what we term ‘America’ today is anything but America) to all natural resources of all kinds whether it is oil (which requires control of Middle East oil supplies) or any natural resource to promote ‘growth’ and GDP (gDp) at the expense of all life and human welfare

4. The ‘American’ way means a one superpower world and all those aligned to it who have as is possible complete corporate, financial, media control of the world. This is sometimes achieved through utilizing corruption and subversion of other governments elsewhere – especially those that resist the ‘American’ way openly – with the use of US fiat currency (which is worthless like any currency that is not backed by precious metals) as the dominant means of economic and political control, followed by black operations and military force. Interesting thing: if you listen to US military officers who speak their mind freely, they’ll mention that they get themselves and their men in ‘trouble spots’ largely due to the CIA’s shenanigans in various states, and their bamboozling politicians, economic bigwigs and defense department bureaucrats in US of A

5. The manipulation and control of world bodies like the UN, WTO (World Trade Organization) and World Bank which serves as a means to hold to ransom, debt, bondage and merciless exploitation people and resources of poorer states by the controllers who have ensconced themselves by hijacking a great nation like America with their viral ideology of ‘democracy’

6. Promotion of wars and the armament industry as a means of fuelling gDp and ensuring some form of global dominance. The best way is to keep the world divided through constant conflict as witnessed from wars throughout the third world and the criminal war in Vietnam which almost sent that state back into the stone age; never mind the wars with Iraq, Afghanistan and prodding of North Korea into a striptease nuclear brinksmanship

7. The need to curtail civil liberties in America which championed Democracy but has been usurped by the cabal as it spreads the ideology of ‘democracy’ via buying over politicians, corporate control of the media, suppression of anything in the media that nationally promotes spiritual learning, thinking and questioning the role of military might and imperialism or material obsession, and spread of capitalist ideology (and gDp)

8. Promote the idea that freedom means excessive and destructive individualism at the expense of everyone and everything else

9. Final solution to destroy the remnants of Democratic America’s civil liberties: creation of the Orwellian situation of permanent war, where spreading war is called spreading ‘peace’, the mind-numbing-soul-destroying promotion of double speak in spreading falsehood, false flag operations by the CIA that subverts many states and national interests by spreading ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’ there as opposed to Democracy

10. To consolidate this in a one superpower world, you need to manufacture a massive attack on your soil: September 11^th, 2001. Create a tragic and horrific incident in which ‘two planes’ caused three high rise modern towers to collapse in a meltdown and in which, against all laws of probability, remnants of passport or identification papers were found among the wreckage belonging to the ‘hijackers’ (!)

11. Manipulation and aggravation of a permanent state of war between the Muslim states and others (all of whom also have the their fair share of fruitcase – one step above nutcake -- terrorists) as part of promoting the grander scheme of Terror

12. Further acts of terror within the US (remember those random sniper shootings of civilians post- 9-11?) to cause permanent state of siege that could possibly lead to a suspension of all civil liberties as well as the US Constitution; there is also the convenient establishment of CCs – yes, concentration camps – for US citizens (or any other ‘undesirables’) under the auspices of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency): a search on the Net will provide visual evidence of these camps

First, reactions might be -- well this all very imaginative and not really new and things are not that bad. Really? Why is there a constant state of anxiety and terror being spread conveniently all over the world…where does all the funding come from. How convenient it is, that the state of ‘terror’ we have been put in has led to the rise of constant and heightened surveillance (understandable in some cases) of public spaces. It’s even worse for some private spaces. Paranoia is the order of the day. The Panopticon of observation keeps everyone on a macro and micro level under duress. The constant fear and anxiety spread at airports and modes of travel, and the work place fear of sabotage is very much like the war and fear mongering mentality spread through the time of WWII and most of the Cold War.

This is a most useful way of getting people mistrustful and fearful of one another and strangers. Not that there are no genuine security concerns etc. But the Terror being spread from 9-11 has been an attempt to drag humanity back to a state of wartime tension. Moreover, every surveillance camera is a reminder that things are not right and that people are not right and that the world is not right. The world and humanity may not be perfect as we well know, but there is a difference between that and being made to live under “forcible coordination” that it can never be otherwise. That is what the controllers want.

This state of tension if you like, then also encourages the other crazies to go about their business of terror. The media collaborates with them by highlighting their activities thereby ensuring that the best way to get a megaphone and ‘buy’ media time is to commit atrocities. Note: good and well being don’t often get much air time, but acts of violence and that which flirts with the prurient not only get air time, they get prime time advertising to boost it all.

Again, where does the money come from to keep supporting these groups of ‘terror’ and even terror. There are bigger players who want to keep terror groups up and running, their activities being media highlights right up to this moment and thrust upon people as part of “forcible coordination”. Terror, with its unchecked and unregulated international banking cartels and arrangements, and its abilities to print fiat currency money or debt currency as via the US Federal Reserve Bank, has ample resources to fund its pet projects.

Ask yourself, how is it that a state like North Korea which has been repeatedly stated to be bankrupt and has its population living in precarious conditions still manage to have access and maintenance of nuclear weapons coupled with haphazard saber rattling announcements. Who are the groups that are sustaining the North Koreans and keeping them from total collapse so that they can conveniently add to the potential destabilization of North East Asia and keep the world in nuclear angst ?

How is it that despite the global financial crisis, spiraling debt of the US, the never ending wars, and the rising unemployment world wide, the world financial system is still tottering but not collapsing yet: how is it being maintained, propped up and kept alive when it too seems to be turning into one of the living dead? If the global scene is not somehow manipulated and controlled by major players this system would have collapsed well before now, but it is still being controlled and puppeteered as it has always been.

Look past the curtain of current economic theory’s mumbo jumbo and see the controllers grappling over the levers behind the curtain of illusion drawn across the world from the land of Oz.

The New Slavery

On a macro scale the stage has been set to keep the world and all of us in debt through a debt based economy of fiat currencies, interest rates and squeezing every drop of labour from us till we drop dead. But on a micro scale, Terror must still be spread to dovetail with the global template of “forcible coordination” that major players are implementing through international institutions and power play.

As Sofsky unrelentingly continues (bold and italics mine):

“For its (modern terror) purposes, the small-time tormenter suffices: the conscientious bookkeeper, the mediocre official, the zealous doctor, the young, slightly anxious female factory worker. In order to spread fear and terror, all the personnel had to do was to apply the rules that had been set down. This orderly foundation of camp routine provided the soil conducive to the development of those behavioural patterns that spring from the tradition of quasi-military movements: esprit de corps, camaraderie, personal allegiance, the mentality of the emergency situation, corruption, and the lust for the kill.” (p278, Sofsky)

That last line sums up ‘American’ domestic and foreign policy for many a year and, unfortunately, much of the world has followed suit or allowed the virus from that kind of ‘democracy’ to spread to them.

What cannot be denied as well is the Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare of petty tyrants who impose meaningless rules and regulations to wield (absolute) power as best they can largely because the social and national atmosphere most people operate in permeates the same unto them. This system of bureaucratic control is spread on the macro level in turn by the controllers and serial invokers of ‘democracy’ who claim to be saving the world by using things like the UN, WTO, World Bank etc.

Total control by the cabal (controllers) and denizens of Terror require it to be practiced throughout all of society without exception as far as it is possible. It is part of the strategy of spreading “forcible coordination” globally. The best way is to instill a sense of fear and loathing in each layer of society, but primarily through the work place as it is the inevitable arena where we try to sustain ourselves.

To do this the cabalists of controllers need the Grand Poobahs and Great Panjandrums to exercise the diktats of control. And so Sofsky continues with (italics and bold mine):

“Without the supervisors, sentries, and administrative officials, the accomplices and accessories from the ranks of the inmates, camp terror would have been impossible. The face of modern systemic terror is not stamped by the all powerful and inviolable master, but by the unbridled actions of the sedulous servants of power. It is an inconspicuous face, quite mean and shabby, without the grimace of wild frenzy, the ecstasies of brutality, the passions of sovereignty...The triumph relished by the auxiliary was the laughter of the accomplices, the mortal anguish of the victims, the bottom line on the balance sheet of death.” (p278-9, Sofsky)

So absolute control is spread by the cabalists via set ups international and national, which is seen through by trickle down (and forced) indoctrination abetted by the mass media. The message transmitted daily and unremittingly is that people are not powerful and that the individual is not an empowered being.

The little Hitlers and Napoleans at the micro level of the work place go around determining control and spreading the gospel of the cabal through punitive sanctions and the constant threat of throwing one out of employment, or stymieing progress/promotion. We are born into the world and don’t know any better as we are imbibed with received deception (not wisdom) of control and subservience to the dark ideas of the cabal which we take as normal and the way of the world. [Under no circumstances is it being claimed that people do not choose wrong and evil themselves and that only the cabal/controllers are responsible for everything, but to qualify statements each time with this would be tedious and add to the meandering of an already lengthy post].

We learn further from Sofsky (bold and italics mine):

“Absolute power transforms deterrence into terror, terror into horror. It shapes space, time, work, and society into instrumentalities of itself, plunging its victims into the abyss of helpless anxiety. The destructive power of terror extends into the furthest corners of sociality, the deep structures of human subjectivity. It destroys not only by violence, but by starvation and misery, humiliation and murder of the soul. It is sheer destruction, pure and unadulterated…Terror concludes every struggle. It gets the job done. The reciprocity characteristic of all social power is shattered.” (p279, Sofsky)

Again on a micro level, just take a look at going from one place of employment to the next. The nihilistic philosophy of the cabalists to control, dehumanize, humiliate and disempower people pervades through almost everything. From every situation of authority (real or imagined) there is often an attempt to assert some aspect of absolute power; this is an ego based energy that seeks to use the pyramid structure of a disenfranchising hierarchy of control. Do as you are told, the boss man is always right, and we the cabal and its nether children of control can throw you out on the streets and let you starve unless you serve us as the slaves that you are.

The human power of reciprocity and responsibility towards one another through a web of connection with all life and compassion needed to give balance to the world, our societies and our lives is constantly crushed through the deleterious stamping of the OT imprimatur usually in the form of material and largely monetary (valueless fiat currencies) ‘rewards’ for selling and destroying your soul and those of others. These are the bargain basement prices of all the hells imaginable: save your skin, not your soul, by abetting the physical and spiritual destruction of others and life on the planet via the promotion of mindless monetary growth and as much as possible for sensual gratification. Reciprocity is made negative through the encouragement of an ‘eye for an eye’ way of the world, not one of mutual aid, support and nurturing to create cooperation and collaboration among people and countries.

We continue to chillingly learn (bold and italics mine):

“Terror separates labour from all production value and any moral rules. It intensifies compulsion and exploitation to the pitch of destruction; it transposes production into ravagement. The teleology of human labour is extinguished. The productive meaning of work, self-preservation of the species, is transformed into its opposite. Nowhere is human labour so directly linked with death as in the concentration camp. Here work does not secure life, it devastates it. This political economy of waste cannot be comprehended by following the principle of calculation and value enhancement. Absolute power overcomes the laws of production. It increases not wealth, but misery.” (p280, Sofsky)

Shocking as it may seem, the above is an apt description of our daily lives especially our so-called working lives. The entire economic and financial system that has been imposed on us by the cabal, and those sometimes quite unwittingly carrying out the worldview of the controllers, is one of mindless accumulation of wealth through making many things that are not needed and that have an in-built obsolescence in them; this in turn continues the destructive cycle of pure monetary ‘growth’ while destroying the planet, robbing it of life and natural resources and steadily allowing for the fear and anxiety based destruction of ourselves and our social relations. A political economy of waste.

We are usually alienated from what we do and the apparently productive processes we are involved in. So many times have employees deliberately gotten back or ‘sabotaged’ the system and the boss man by wasting time at work through idleness and Net surfing, and consuming office materiel and expenses for personal use and benefit. This is usually an act of rebellion and resentment for being pushed around and doing something we dislike and even hate but consider necessary to sustain our material needs. What is productive about this set up or the commodities that arise from it? A political economy of waste.

From the wasteful system of built in obsolescence and greed of the capitalist ideology to its mindless accumulation of money as a means of remuneration and definition of meaning to existence; and with the cat and mouse game between employer and employees who try every once in a while to monkey wrench the work place, we have a fine system of wastage and negativity. Yet another facet of a political economy of waste.

To maintain control over us, there is a need for a system of destructive sustenance that sees to it that (bold and italics mine):

“Society is permeated by the informers and accomplices of terror; the victims are driven to a life-and-death struggle for space, shoes, and bread. Although a good many examples of elementary solidarity have come to light, the extent of social indifference, mutual repulsion, and animosity in the camps was staggering. The dissociative strength of camp power shatters the basic rules of social intercourse, fundamental trust in the continued existence of the social world, the prospect of assistance, the certainties of social action, the continuity of time…The camp hurls human beings back into a primal state of nature: the struggle of all against all…The concentration camp is the modern facility of isolating and destroying the “dispensable”. The superfluous are searched out everywhere, seized, confined behind barbed wire, starved, murdered.” (p280-1, Sofsky)

What is supported throughout most societies and certainly in the economic framework of the cabal is the ‘state of nature’ scenario of ‘survival of the fittest’ and everyone struggling to stay alive through brandishing tooth and claw. We have fooled ourselves into buying into the so-called ‘free market’ myth (which is just a not-so-secret secret society code for greed, selfishness, monopoly, destructive ethos, etc as explored in an earlier blog entitled There is No Such Thing as a Free Market, which has laughably been seen as a sign of ‘freedom’.

Yet you cannot be free if you are a slave to unethical/immoral behaviour that often belies ‘market’ forces, a slave to pure monetary gain at the expense of everything else, and a slave to blind sensual drives while throwing any spiritual force within a human being off course.

And in case the message still hasn’t gotten through we are reminded that (bold and italics mine):

“Absolute power sunders the physical unity of the person, devastates spirit and soul, destroys the ability to act, drains all vitality. Prior to industrialized mass murder, it carries out a transmutation of human nature. The transformation of human beings into materiel and the fabrication of the Muselmanner, the waking dead, are its greatest triumphs. In sharp contrast with all earlier forms of power, absolute terror creates nothing. Its work is totally negative, a project of obliteration without a trace. It realizes its freedom in the complete and total annihilation of the human being.” (p281, Sofsky)

Through a system of control through the mass media, economic and financial institutions, the cabal has sought to keep us at each others’ throats through the perpetuation of fear and loathing, anxiety and obsession with destructive individual ‘rights’ which do not involve the reciprocation of duties to respect and honour the rights of others; it’s all about ‘I-me-mine’ as the advertising/marketing world keep reminding us (the destruction of reciprocity).

So some key points that can be raised from all this on the strategy of OT:

1. Use a feudal hierarchical pyramidal structure of top-down control

2. Institute capitalism as the primary economic model which leads to a system of senseless accumulation of wealth and material products maintained by the use of the media to promote consumerism and obedience to the fetishized ‘market forces’ established by the cabal’s global financial and political institutions

3. All ‘value’ is measured in terms of valueless fiat currency which is printed at whim to finance never ending wars and the creation of eternal debt

4. Keep the world and its peoples in a state of perpetual debt and wage slavery as they cannot rely on their spiritual values and ideas to build economic strength but must rely on ego and fear based energies of impending starvation from reprisals to their physical beings if they resist the cabalists structures (micro and macro)

5. Keep people busy with meaningless work, jobs and employment to just earn money to survive; keep them in debt-bondage and obsessed with sensual indulgence so that they are unable to turn away from the debilitating effects of the idiot-box-and-devices (TV and mobile phones); and turn them away from reading, thinking, and sharing intelligent ideas with one another. Counter serious examination of the state of the world and citizen participation in local, political, or any other sensible activity by a system of disenfranchisement

6. This system of disempowerment is boosted by ego driven cynicism of so-called social commentators as well as the worship of celebrities and mania over the frailties of their personal lives, and attempts to get the rest of us to be more concerned about who earns the most in business and Hollywood. In other words keep us distracted from improving and empowering ourselves through surrendering our attention to nut-cakey-fruity-case flakes and other such media-attention-grabbers

7. Obsession with material goods through the constant promotion of the latest fashion products and accelerate built-in used obsolescence in almost anything (example, computers) and mobile phones which require us to seek constant upgrading (and confuse that as ‘upgrading’ ourselves)

8. Derail us from thinking about why we are here and what is the purpose of life. Ensure that the mainstream media doesn’t focus on spiritual matters but things that engender hatred and negativity through the playing up of violence, war and dysfunctional behaviour. Constant prattling on the ‘weaknesses’ of human nature and never the strength of unity, reciprocity and challenging of absolute power and corporate controllers, that is, the media’s complicity with the agenda of the cabal to ensure that human beings are kept in a state of the living dead while thinking that the lives they are leading are supposedly ‘normal’

9. The constant disruption of time and sequencing of events in our lives due to the stress and anxiety created by the negative media reports and work place demands, coupled with personal/family ones, keeps us in a state of limbo and hectic behaviour that fits perfectly with the ‘forcible coordination’ of the controllers

But to ensure that control can be permanent and the market of global control has been cornered through a one superpower world, the cabal needs to institute a takeover by re-creating what the Nazi’s did in 1933 and 1938 (looked at in more detail below). The need to exercise absolute power by the cabal through the use of terror to establish once and for all OT. We are still living in the shadow of the near successful attempt of using the 9-11 attacks on New York to suspend all civil liberties, and eventually establish openly the FEMA CCs as a step to turning the US into a launching pad for more war, and a base for quickly consolidating and spreading world wide the ineluctable OT. For those who think what they are reading now is fanciful, be patient…it won’t be too long from your reading these words that even more stunning revelations will take place.

 

This is Not Democracy

There are no genuine democratic countries in the world today. ‘America’ has been hijacked by the cabalists and ‘democracy’ there is like a deadly virus they hope to spread everywhere. It is hard to determine when, in a long time, in human history there existed any genuine Democracy. The ‘democracy’ of today is but a sham in which people are enslaved to serving the diktats of OT. The cabalists have come close to winning their game, but they will not as many of us have started to awaken to their activities.

The cabal’s 9-11 attacks on America was a replay of creating similar conditions that allowed the Nazi’s an excuse to push for fascist control of Germany. The cabal ambitiously combined the 1933 burning of the Reichstag (German parliament) and the 1938 Kristallnacht in an attempt to assert control over the world’s sole superpower to initiate their agenda of an old world order of domination (typically these bozos call it a ‘new’ world order -- it’s the virus hiding itself in doublespeak).

Do some research on America’s so-called Patriot Act instigated conveniently by the 9- 11 ‘terror’/Terrror attacks, and what the Nazi’s initiated in those fateful years of the 1930s. The papers of the day in Germany described the attack on the Reichstag as a “most monstrous act of terrorism”. The fire was blamed on Communists whom the Nazi’s wanted to counter so as to gain a parliamentary majority and thereby start their plans for fascist domination of Germany. So the official account of the Reichstag burning played along the terrorist lines to stoke up fear among Germans and send them into the arms of the Nazis (italics mine):

“The burning of the Reichstag was intended to be the signal for a bloody uprising and civil war. Large-scale pillaging in Berlin was planned.... It has been determined that ... throughout Germany acts of terrorism were to begin against prominent individuals, against private property, against the lives and safety of the peaceful population, and general civil war was to be unleashed....” (this and the German newspaper quote above are from the Wikipedia)

Hitler, who was just made chancellor weeks before the fire, managed to coerce through the Reichstag Fire Decree which effectively curbed most civil liberties of the Weimar constitution, and the preamble of the act stated that (bold and italics mine):

“On the basis of Article 48 paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the German Reich, the following is ordered in defense against Communist state-endangering acts of violence:

Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. It is therefore permissible to restrict the rights of personal freedom [habeas corpus], freedom of opinion, including the freedom of the press, the freedom to organize and assemble, the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications. Warrants for House searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.” (taken from Wikipedia)

Does this have a familiar ring in post- 9-11 ‘America’?

But this was the tip of the iceberg: what Hitler and his hooligans were aiming for was to get their Enabling Act through which would allow him and his chief thugs to make dictatorial laws without the approval of the Reichstag, thereby establishing a fascist state.

With the Enabling Act passed, Hitler would be given the control that developed into his dictatorial powers as he could do what he wanted through decrees that bypassed the Reichstag nor his having to discuss anything with other political players.

The 9-11 attacks were not a terror attack but a Terror attack by OT. It was hoped that this act of high treason would start the effective move of America away from civil liberties and the total undermining of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights (whatever is already left of it). This would place the cabalists in control of the world’s sole superpower and to do as they pleased anywhere. The FEMA CCs which thrive on the term ‘emergency’ -- which was what the Nazis also used to justify their tyrannical takeover of Germany -- is the logical extension of the cabal’s attempt to control things thereby giving them the leeway to target those they would prefer to get rid off/contain (including masses of people who could protest the eradication of their civil liberties).

Then there was the Kristallnacht of 1938. With the murder of a German diplomat in Paris that year by a Jewish youth (as reprisal to the over night expulsion by Hitler of thousands of Polish born Jews from Germany), the Nazis instigated a nation wide anti-Jewish pogrom. Jewish homes and businesses were ransacked and destroyed in the thousands which not only resulted in deaths but the start of mass deportation of Jews and other ‘undesirables’ to CCs. The ‘Night of Broken Glass’ was the staged vendetta of the Nazis against their opponents. It was also the first steps towards all the horrors associated with the Nazis and terrors of the CCs.

The transfer of people to CCs and the systematic mass destruction of human beings was all part of an organized wave of terror that merged with “forcible coordination’ as part of the overall concept of Terror.

This ideology of Terror is precisely what the cabalists of today also want to enhance throughout the world. Create the materiel you need for the material world and force a planned obsolescence of culling people so that the ‘wealth’ of plunder that comes from war and from the formulation of so-called lebensraum (Nazi thought is very much alive today) ensuring economic/political incursions into the sovereignty of other states for one group which results in the death/slavery of another. Zero-sum all the way.

So the current cabalists in a fit of ambition and, what to them must appear as use of the imagination, decided to combine the Reichstag burning and Kristallnacht through pulling off the 9-11 Terror attack. They launched perhaps the mother of all false flag operations in recent times to blame the destruction of the twin towers in New York on terror groups (who would form the kernel of the ‘enemy’s’ identity, that is anyone who is Muslim); this was the Reichstage fire aspect of things except that the cabal’s work that September day was far more violent.

The cabal ambitiously used 9-11 as a Kristallnacht too and (since Americans were also killed in the attacks) as a platform for reprisal against not just certain targets in the Muslim world (the nutcake Saddam being a prime example), but to initiate instability world wide through the move into Afghanistan and raising the general ire of Christians and Muslims around the world who saw this more as an extension of the old drawn out drama from the Crusades of yesteryear.

All this was dissonant music to cabal’s ear as spreading instability and creating a scenario of divide and conquer kept all of us even closer to the ground with faces shoved into the troughs of not only daily survival, but now fear, anxiety, loathing and anger against one another. Yet the cabalists wanted to go the whole hog this time, so they ‘imaginatively’ tried to go for the CC idea of their revived Nazi ideology by raising ethnic/religious issues within America.

Not long after 9-11 the Bush appointed Peter Kirsanow head of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights nicely stated that “if there’s another terrorist attack and if it’s from a certain ethnic community or certain ethnicities that the terrorists are from, you can forget about civil rights in this country.”

Kirsanow eloquently added that if there was yet another attack, there could possibly be internment camps (CCs) such as those built to hold Japanese Americans in World War II. But the man was on a roll, so he had to continue with, “Not too many people will be crying in their beer if there are more detentions, more stops, more profiling…There will be a groundswell of public opinion to banish civil rights.” Hell, yeah. (Quote taken from: here)

I ask you, not so bloody minded gentle reader, would a democracy (forget Democracy) have created CCs for its Japanese American citizens many of whom were just decent patriotic folk anyway?

Then just in case you thought this was all just a…coincidence with 1930s Germany, please bear in mind that there were deportations of Muslims, seizures and interrogations of American Muslims by the FBI, as well as thousands of American Muslims being told that their jobs in the US, particularly within the civil service couldn’t be guaranteed now that we know conclusively (it would appear) that it was a bunch of Muslims who did 9-11.

All this frenzied activity sounds a trifle, uhm,…terroristic upon ordinary people, won’t you say?

To think that some outstanding universities and institutes of learning exist in America – but wait, Germany had even more to offer like Beethoven, Goethe, Kant, Marx (ah, the fella was Jewish) – yet, all decent and rational thought was suspended in subservience to “forcible coordination”.

But let us not underestimate the cabalists; if you’re visionary you go all the way, so the cads came up with plans for a subsidiary of Halliburton KBR to be given a US$385 million contract by the (Right Honourable) Department of Homeland Security to build detention centres in America. These centres might be used for illegal immigrants, to house victims of disasters like Hurricane Katrina, or perhaps those who start protesting against the cabal if ever their plans were seen through (part of this could stem from riots breaking out due to the collapse of the cabalist capitalist economy).

So the whole idea of the CCs apart from taking care of ‘undesirables’ was to also boost the gDp by increasing expenditure on camps which would go to companies run by the cabal (yup, them Halliburton guys are it). This attitude of cannibalization and going into any part of the world using force or threats and getting whatever materiel needed to expand gDp, and to exercise control and spread ‘American democracy’ or “forcible coordination” is truly the bedrock of much ‘American’ foreign and trade policy today.

This is the zero-sum winner take all and death-and-damnation-to-all-else attitude that is also the skull and bones foundation on which all feudal and capitalist systems are based. The whole idea of such an approach is to ensure that humans see their existence as nothing more that an animated pile of dust that returns to the ashes that issues forth from crematoriums.

Our entire economic edifice is built on such a system at the moment that fits in with the cabal’s way of thinking. Just go through all the quotes from Sofsky mentioned here and you will see that the Terror promoted in the camps, and the sense of constant surveillance and control, fear and anxiety that such a system promotes is the extension of what the Nazis did in the 1930s to establish their OT.

Right till today, through political, economic and social control with the triumph of the will of materialism the cabal hoped to destroy anything of a spiritual nature in humans by creating their ultimate goal: the world as a concentration camp writ large. But they are not going to be able to do it as we have started to finally wise up.

It is almost a scenario out of H.P. Lovecraft where the cabal are like beings from another planet unleashing everything that we know is inhuman and inhumane, as they turn our world upside down. And it is no surprise that the Nazi idea of a ‘master race’, and many other practices and symbols used by them, have occult roots. Do some research to see how they used dark forces that seem to be the underlying template of Nazi ideology.

And in case there are still those who are recalcitrant in their beliefs that ‘America’ is a democracy and that there is Democracy on planet earth, please remind yourself about what took place at the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo camps, and ponder if that is reflective of democracy. Whatever the excuses or rationalizations, the horrors of CCs worldwide throughout history may project many things, but they are not representations of Democracy. If you say that such instances cannot be helped because of the way things are, the response is: precisely, there is no democracy or Democracy today, and we have not in living memory have had any actual experience of it.

Delusional Democracy

What we call ‘democracy’ today is nothing close to any idea, much less an ideal, of Democracy that a decent person would like to see in the world. How can there be Democracy in a world that is at war with itself, under the constant threat of ‘terror’, real and imagined, and the sway of Terror (real, not imagined). We are stuck in a world where people are burdened by debt and meaningless work cycles of ‘productivity’ that seem to get us nowhere (for the vast majority) within an economic system of greed, exploitation and total non-sustainability. How can a world scenario like this ever give rise to Democracy?

What of the current system in so-called western ‘democracies’? By and large that system is represented by the image above this section. We have less developed countries (yes, they are responsible for their own problems too) which have been consistently exploited and kept in debt by inequality and coercion as represented by most world bodies of which the WTO and World Bank are prime examples. The commodities from poorer states are made through cheap and mercilessly exploited labour to support a silly and self indulgent lifestyle of people too busy to consider the morality of their actions, usually spending their leisure welded to their TVs and engaged in other mind and soul numbing activities like shopping for what you don’t need (but told is necessary by advertising and marketing), and voting in people who are beholden to big business and banking cartels.

Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell speech at the White House had the iconic reference to the military-industrial complex that is behind ‘America’. But some research will show that Eisenhower had wanted to mention Congress too, which would have been the devastatingly accurate statement that ‘democratic America’ was beholden to a military-industrial-congressional complex, and so it is (the US Federal Reserve was the missing link in the chain).

Kennedy famously talked about the secret government and the reprehensible idea of government by secrecy. He had plans to stop the US involvement in the burgeoning conflict in Vietnam as well as introduce a hard currency backed by precious metals (contra the useless fiat money of the US Fed) which were to be called US Treasury notes. These hard currency notes were conveniently recalled from circulation soon after JFK’s murder. It is no surprise, in retrospect, that he was eliminated before he could do further harm to the ‘democratic’ interests controlling ‘America’.

It is also no secret that Kennedy said after the CIA's Bay of Pigs fiasco that he would "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds". There was no love lost between him and the cabal.

The entire structure of the state in so many ‘democracies’ is designed to protect those who run the corporate, financial, and war mongering apparatuses to keep the so-called voters mind-numbed through fear/anxiety saturation using unending world wide conflicts, the daily grind of work and constant debt/mortgage through an economic flow that promotes crazed credit expansion through borrowing beyond what you can pay. This entire rotten and crumbling ‘golden calf’ is supported gleefully by the media so that it can also sustain itself and the fluff work of not reporting the actual state of affairs of the world.

Sure, this is part of the actual state of affairs of the world: ‘a bomb has gone off in…”, “China has recalled its envoy from…”, “the newest strain of the H1N1 virus has led to the WHO asking…”. The second half of the news may include: “Tiger Woods says he’s sorry…again…”, “Stephen Hawking has decided that God doesn’t exist…”, “Is the hair of XYZ celebrity for real…?”

What you don’t hear, because it would throw the present disgraceful and immoral morass of a world economic system into its widely deserved grave, is “Steps to reconfigure the entire world banking systems are being unveiled, experts finally get off their a**e* to discuss how…”, “More and more Americans and people all over the world are demanding a reinvestigation as to whether the September 11^th attacks were a false flag operation – coming up after the break…other examples of possible false flag operations by major governments of the world…”, and how a couple strive to survive in these times through forming a cooperative with their close friends.

There can be more human interest stories that show how people overcome adversity or how the human spirit shines through normal daily activities, but the main items always play into the cabal’s hands to keep the world hostage to a self created drama of violence and mayhem. Of course, disasters must be covered and people given advisories etc about trouble spots, but the entire mainstream media is mostly aping and competing with one another to see who can be the most bloody minded in its reporting: and this poppycock reporting is given the misnomer journalism (this offers serious competition as to who are the real bozos).

More people, including those who are asserting their discernment again in the US, have come to realize that most of the characters they vote into political office are serving interests other than that of the people. So many politicians in the sole superpower on earth tend to openly support the cabalists monstrous structure of deceit, greed, exploitation and violence.

How much longer is it going to be before people across the globe take back their power and the planet? We are indeed like the prisoners in Plato’s ‘Allegory of the Cave’ from his great work, The Republic. In his famous analogy, Plato explains how people are chained into a certain direction facing the wall of a cave and made to believe the shadows cast on it from objects and light behind them are real. From time to time, someone from the outside of the cave comes in and breaks a prisoner free, and drags him out kicking and screaming (he’s unwilling as he prefers his comfort zone of indoctrinated ‘truth’) to see the world outside.

There is pain of adjustment to the eyes as the newly freed prisoner turns his focus to the world outside of the cave and sees an incredible vista filled with the light of the sun and the objects as they are rather than their shadows. He rushes back to tell his fellow prisoners about this, and they of course think he is bonkers, and start to regard his claims as a threat to their comfort zone engendered by the slavery to the puppet masters casting shadows on the wall. Sometimes the prisoners are so incensed by the ‘nonsense’ of the guy who came back to help free them that they would rather kill him than face the truth about the false world they live in.

It is not that difficult to think of some spiritual and other leaders who have been murdered because they tried to do the same. The cabalists are the shadow masters who operate away from light and transparency; they thrive with cloaks and daggers. So many of us are still prisoners in the cave. But we can still make the journey out together with courage and effort and with the help of those who have slipped out of the cave – thinking through their ideas like those of Plato and Kant; heeding the examples like that of Gandhi, Mandela and Mother Theresa of Calcutta; and observing the leadership of some like the Brothers Kennedy.

We have to leave the shadow play behind on the wall of illusion and take on the difficult task and challenge of breaking free from what is considered ‘normalcy’. Our very survival and that of the planet rests on our forcing ourselves away from the delusional images we are coerced to watch on the wall of the cave (think mainstream media) glorifying fears, anxiety, violence and excessive self indulgence.

We have been force fed a homogenized genetically modified murderous diet to convince us that the world we live in is one of despair and that we are mainly material and negative beings who need control and who only can end up as a handful of dust. But this is where the cabal has seriously miscalculated. Because when the human species starts to wake up, it cannot be stopped, and we can all -- if we work collectively on this -- make it up the slope from the innards of the cave: back into the light from which all life originates.

What Needs to be Done

We have to throw away preconceptions and what we’ve been indoctrinated with from birth through most of our adulthood – that we are not spiritual beings and that material needs can never be met if we prioritize our lives by giving equal weight to our material and spiritual needs. Let each person decide for themselves who reads this what being a spiritual being means for them, and see if by extension some of the points raised below includes what is needed to provide for our material well being and spiritual growth thereby creating a balanced and sustainable world in which war, poverty and the slave-type labour of our working world imbued with “forcible coordination” can be finally eradicated.

We would be looking to achieve:

1. Move away from the largely capitalist driven mind set that growth = gDp which means mainly a monetary measurement for what is economic growth. With the premise that we are spiritual beings first who happen to have physical bodies that need support, we then need a measurement of growth that reflects this as part of our well being. We take the quality of life into serious consideration, not just the quantitative aspect of things. Some of these ideas have been explored in earlier posts at this site

2. That all living things should be respected including the Earth which is clearly a living entity. The Earth is alive because no life can be supported, nor would evolution occur, if the planet is but a large pile of dust. Life comes from life, not death-like inert matter despite the bizarre ideas of those who claim to be scientists (who are in fact promoters of occult beliefs that there are mysterious forces floating out there like ‘gravity’ that just happen to conveniently arrange themselves into ‘natural laws’). If the Earth is a living entity, then we must have a measurement of growth that respects this and includes this notion of protecting and enhancing its eco-systems thereby ensuring the survival of our own economic and social eco-systems, through ethical, responsible and sustainable living and production

3. This means channeling resources away from war and destruction (contra the aim of the cabalists) into positive ideas and green technology to forge a new way of energy creation, productive activities, and commodity exchange throughout the planet among different communities/societies/states. Some resources will be kept for security needs but if war can be lessened and the cabalists taken to task, peace can takeover the planet

4. End the idea of separation through language, religion and race and see the Oneness of all life. Whatever we do bear in mind the golden rule of doing unto others what we want others to do unto us: this implies a system of shared responsibility, tolerance, understanding, mutual support, help and respect – in a word, reciprocity

5. Reciprocity would entail a just and fair economic and political system which will lead us closer to the citizen empowerment that can help form the base and driving force that will help us not only recreate what Democracy means, but help us to try and finally realize a democratic system of citizen involvement, responsibility and consultation in local and national governance

6. Not to be sidetracked by the confusion that rights mean rabid individualism at all cost. All rights imply the duties of respecting the rights of everyone, that is, rights operate within the context of our duties to one another. For unless we have a duty towards others, or reciprocity, how on earth do we have a right to anything since nobody has a duty to respect the rights we claim for ourselves

7. Recognize the fact that we are co-creators of our world and reality. That every invention and commodity we bring out should reflect this for the betterment and highest good of all

8. A system of smaller and manageable businesses and economic enterprises that reflect a community base form (which can cross borders and will not be multi-nationals but multi-communals). No shareholders except those who are of the businesses and these entities, as far as possible, should be owned by all who are of the enterprise and have a transparent system of profit sharing that ensures growth (in a manageable way) and sustainability of the enterprise and all who work for it. Profit will be a term that will belong to the past where a win-lose scenario is envisaged. We are going here for a win-win situation at all times as far as is possible and one of sustainability

9. The complete reinvention and rejuvenation of the world financial and banking scene with community banks taking a leading role. This would work in tandem with the return to hard currency backed by gold and precious metals for all countries thereby giving real value for money

10. That money is seen as a resource that can be re-cycled back as donations and trusts after the death of mega wealthy individuals (e.g., Warren Buffet, Bill Gates who have decided so) to help the underprivileged and raise environmental consciousness

11. Have healthy competition that involves cooperation and collaboration among all towards support for all life as far as possible as the underlying principle of growth, not the destructive kind of competition that hinges on mindless profitability and unbridled exploitation, or zero-sum situations

12. The realization that the world is abundant in what it has to offer us if we channel our learning, science, technology and natural intelligence, not to mention common sense, to come up with ways to produce what we need to support us best we can while giving back to the Earth and maintaining the natural balance of its diverse and miraculous ecosystems

13. That we see ourselves mainly as caretakers of the Earth and caregivers to one another so that our education system starts with these premises and builds societal, regional, international and global responsibility towards one another. So we start with the initial conditions of education with the children outside of ‘the cave’ and get them used to the light soonest – they don’t need to be taught the shadow play we were stuck with but the way of light which is working with one another so that we all gain and benefit

14. A new and responsible media that highlights what is positive, what works for the well being of all and what brings us forward boldly into the new paradigm of getting things right. The so-called bad news will still be there, but balance it for what it is…the aberration in a world that is growing up and maturing into civility. This takes the sting away from those who remain from the cabal who may want to re-assert the old destructive ways

15. That the practice of calming and breathing exercises, meditation and connection to nature be a common aspect of life in schools and the work places. This would be the start of increasing trust, goodwill and even high work output among people. With fair and decent remuneration all round (as opposed to furthering excess and indecently high salaries), the daily work world can be transformed into one that a person can look forward and contribute to willingly and purposively

16. A work/economic paradigm that is successful as it is even joyful because what is being provided and created is for the benefit and highest good of all involved and the world at large

17. Understand and respect the sanctity of all life

Naturally, the nay-sayers will claim that this is not possible in many instances because of the ‘way things are’ (a motto of the cabal) and ‘human nature’ (the cynical view of which the cabal hopes will continue). If that is the case, then these people who claim this are supporters of a dismal determinism where there is clearly no free will; in which case they are already and always will be slaves even if they pretend they are not.

If there is free will, then we can choose. But the fact that we can indeed choose and have ideas of what is good and what isn’t, and that many of us see spiritual dimensions to things, is sign enough of a greater power at work than the limited and childish human ego. We need to start to learn to let go of our limitations and blinkers of controls that have been placed upon us, to create the new paradigm and history of the Earth.

The question then arises so what else can we do now to hasten the positive changes and get rid of the ungodly yoke of the cabal? Perhaps three basic things may be useful here: first, see the economic collapse that is upon us as a good sign and actively find ways to enhance new economic models that are green and people friendly, as mentioned above.

Next, do all we can (this applies to those of us who are not US citizens but affected by the cabal’s ‘American’ policies) to encourage Barack Obama to get going with the arrest of the cabalists behind 9-11 (email the guy, he needs to know that people everywhere are behind him: link). This is the thin end of the wedge that will bring about either simultaneously, or consecutively, the eradication of the US Federal Reserve which is the stronghold of the cabal and its worthless fiat money, as well as the bringing to justice of the key cabalists for Terror against humanity. This will get the ball rolling and the cabal’s operations will start to shut down and operatives throughout the world will be rounded up by various other governments and forces within them (not all are under control by the cabalists) who are waiting for the signal from ole Barry.

If it still isn’t clear, let me for the hell of it just say: we are all in this together, big time.

Finally, we all need to just commit acts of gratuitous kindness, decency, compassion and just plain civility in all situations at all times as is humanly possible. This above all is the start of the People of the world uniting and coming together as a gathering of light that will dispel the cabal’s Terror forever. There can be, if we create it, governments of the People, by the People, and for the People and the Planet that can never perish.

Also, the obvious should still be stated that this post is not the answer to all our problems; we are also creating solutions as we go along and react to events; rather, it is an energetic transfer to the ether and collective consciousness in support of other co-creators who want to see a new and blessed world for us and the next generation to live in.

To those who see how real and how much within our grasp most of the ideas here are that will allow us to create our own destiny, to those who have the courage to turn away from despair and see that there is Divine grace in all life and within ourselves to get rid of the cabal’s influence and create cities of light in a world of light, and for those who have decided that being human is a compliment to what is good in the universe, I can only say with the utmost gratitude:

Thank you for taking back your power.

And peace be with you.
