If you ever watched Glenn Beck, in the past, He spent an entire season pointing these things out and showing his audience how it came to be.. He was crazy indeed, but I happen to think he was right.

...You are correct Klugmo. But... it is much much worse than one can possibly imagine. Yes Glenn Beck spoke some truths but why is he not any longer? Confucious said ?Man who speaks truths must keep one foot in the stirrup". Glen Beck only touched upon the truth and he was silenced.

I know most think that I am a "Doomdayer: or whatever but... it is much much worse and we are all the walking dead. Ta

You're a pretty upbeat person aren't you? :)
As they say, ignorance is bliss, especially when you glom onto fatalism as your working view of the existence.

...SirJamesAlot...I am merely someone who is not as blind as you or many others... a realist and someone who cares about humanity and spiritual development whilst understanding that life is not a Walt Disney Film . You have grown up being lied to, feed poisons and believing what you are told ... all in all I suppose there are many who do not think that you turned out so bad besides yourself. Perhaps they are right ? I hope so. Ta

I've survived enough dooms days in my life to recognize that those who continually beat the doomsday drum tend to view people as completely incapable of creative (or even repentant) behavior / reaction towards difficulty and impending doom.

You sound very much like a fatalist, and fatalists who believe their on an irreversible path to destruction have no hope, unless they're hoping for doom. Either way you cut that pie, it's a pretty gloomy life to lead - hence my statement, ignorance is bliss if you're a fatalist - better to live your life not knowing you're going to be run over by a train if that end is INEVITABLE, as you seem to think it is.

cheer up

Sir, I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Is that retired military man a liar?
Are there not billions being sifted out of America?
Are we not controlled by oil barons?
Are there not hungry children all over America?
Did the financial institutions and Obama not "F" us out of our money?
Is our justice system not totally out of control?

These are just a few questions that if true, paint a country altering picture.
Oh yeah, is the US dollar not gonna be SEVERELY devalued due to
a 5 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT?
There are countries already buying barrels of oil with their own
currencies valuation instead of US Dollars.

The question is not, "is he a liar?" more is what he says accurate?

truthfully not much, he may in fact believe what he is saying, so in that instance he is not a liar.

it would take a transcript to debunk most of what he is saying.

I could cite a few examples;

TARP is not nationalization, in fact, it is a rather piss poor attempt at restraint.
nationalization is, in the Stalinist motif is dictatorially controlled bureaucracy acting as a board of directors.
What your seeing here is much more similar to national socialist bureaucracy in a creeping fashion, not dictated but legislated.
The is no censorship at all in america, this conversation is proof enough of that.
or in an extreme case, you can cite the pastor from Florida who was going to hold a koran burning.
The government asked him not to but he held off of his own volition.
his reason you can guess for yourself.

There are only 3 privately owned oil companies left in the world.
all these are American companies, all the rest are owned out right by governments.

if you don't like that, you can keep bitching and maybe the national socialist partisans will succeed in will taking them over.
then the same jerk who runs your post office will be responsible for making sure you have heat.

The gentleman you link to is very excited about how empires die under the weight of their possessions, but all empires do.
It's just a question of how long it takes.
please go look at how many times the British devalued their currency for the exact same reasons, and after 500 years we were able to buy them out.
what he says sounds very patriotic but it is misguided, and mostly obfuscation.

he is quite excited about freedom of the press, while broadcasting internationally, a rant against his own government with impunity.
That's freedom of the press, unless I'm greatly mistaken.

We have Marxists, Progressives (Formerly called Communists) and Socialists working in our colleges, public schools, judicial systems, as well as in the legislative branches of government for quite some time.

They have not gone unnoticed by me. I am not blind. I see the destruction of America on the horizon. I am also watching for the worldwide economic collapse that I was told is going to happen. There are many that are blinded to what is happening. Those who believe in God speak to God, and He speaks to them, and little is held back from them. God warns those who belong to Him. It is called prophecy, and the prophets are speaking out to those who have the ears to hear.

Yeah, I know. I'm one of those religious nut cases. I guess time will tell, won't it? :)

You're a religious man aren't you? What did you think of Ninevah? I'm not saying things are fine. I'm just not going to sit here and listen to people say "we're all doomed!". Every 5 years, there's a new doomsday scenario, and every 5 years, people forget there was a doomsday scenario that never happened.

Politics is a war of words, so then, the words you use matter.

in a free political environment you will always have many political factions.
this can make the society vulnerable to stagnation through political stalemate, or vulnerable to dictatorship mainly due to the people demanding order.
all democratic republics are open to interpretation.
The Jeffersonian agrarian ideal, though romantic has never existed in America,
it is very difficult to revive something that never existed.
America is simply contracting because of global competing interests.
this contraction will lead to less wealth.
the politicians are contributing to the destruction of america, (if you want to call it that) by insisting that america remain an empire when the resources are not available, and the people are not ruthless enough to make war and take those necessary resources.
the devaluation of the currency is simply an attempt to fool the people into thinking nothing has changed, when in fact everything has changed.
we are no longer the leader, the world doesn't want that anymore.
is that a realistic view on their part? maybe.
but we should not provide a service that is not wanted nor requested.

you may want to read up on the history of this symbol,
this is a frontice piece on the back wall of the chamber of the US house representatives.
I recommend the "history of rome" by livy, ( tutus livius)

today we know this as a fasces
this is where we get the word facist ( the nazi's were self described facists as was Mussolini)
it symbolizes absolute service to the state under the unbending rule of law.

just in case your wondering it is 12 books of law that make the handle for an axe
the symbolism is quite obvious.
how the this device came into being is really quite fascinating.

...The Time is Past to Remain Silent ...O hate to point out that what you "think" Sir Jam you have "survived" is nothing compared to what is coming. You must have mistaken me for someone else dear boy. I am not even a reluctant fatalist. I have never stated that I" view people as incapable of creative blah blah "??? I have been urging relative not "repentant" creativity here ... with a dash of originality and critical thought ... Read my thread here if you dare.

You love that word fatalist do you not ?? Look up the meaning and try to apply it to me then. Life is hard. It is getting harder. Based upon your discernment there are many fatalists ... almost every philosopher. By the way I lived in S/F for ten years.

"better to live your life not knowing" perhaps for you but not for me or a hundred million others who value humanity and freedom and truth and a worthwhile creative existence. Of course there are many who have been sucking down the corn syrup of this modern world. I am very happy, very concerned and most definately not a fatalist. But I do not disagree with all you say about them however.

Klugmo is correct and JCP61 is ... well JCP61 and always gives his unique perspective and it is impossible to discount all of it ever. Slacker G ...wisdom ... honesty and he forgot the Zionists.

You describe the mass media fodder when you refer to every five years. Most of what you say sounds like Fox News in some ways to me. Read my thread ... that should get you off your seat...You seem nice enough just perhaps a bit more thinking and les practicing ? It is humour so do not bent out of shape.

If you post some things and I do not reply right away it is because I am going camping in the desert and communing with nature and those I love. Of course I may suffer a fatalist attack and leap from a dune to my artificial death ... have you checked out the news from Fukushima lately ? That is really depressing or the Fema Camps, no fly zone over chicago, I could go on and on. But thankfully I will not. Ta
