Lots got me thinking today.

Maybe its time for me to get off the keyboard and go beat up the rest of a stable. Well, I guess that can wait until I have a day off and time to kill. Better that on those days when I would otherwise sit and stew over stuff like I have been hearing and thinking about all day.

Where to start? Since I am going off the cuff here, with no notes or links or anything, I guess just hitting the accelerator and letting the wheels spin might be a good start.


Coast to Coast. Sometimes Tinfoil hat stuff, sometimes Ghostesesses and creepy crawlies, sometimes very relevant stuff to the days events. Today was one of the latter. A lady was on with George talking about the economy. She had lots of relevant information, not one bit was conspiracy stuff, just hard nosed facts and her take on how things MAY (and she stressed that part) will fall out over the next decade or so. One point of contention she mentioned was the mess with the IMF head swap going on now. (and remember I mentioned that the 'pervert' had probably been set up? well it looks like the trial against him is falling apart. Witness testimony is crumbling under scrutiny. Girl may have been a patsy after all. The fact that it has dragged out this long shows it did what the PTB needed done and now can move on.) Well, her take on it was that the new head is now a puppet to the Banking Cartels and of course those cartels want to keep up business as usual for as long as possible. What better way to squeeze as much profit out of the turnip? She also mentioned that there is a general wave of control going on that once highlighted is obvious but being hidden in the light makes people think otherwise. That is the fact that Corporations are, and have been, setting public policy in the Government for years. This is growing at an exponential rate though. Of course, the Corporates are in control of the banks, the Media, and pretty much everything down to the food you eat and the toilet paper you wipe your ass with, so of course, people would NOT think these same corporations would drive policy to the negative. Of course not. ' That's unfair!' But what better way to control your competition? Regulate them into compliance or out of business. (sounds just like Starving the Monkeys strategy no?) What better way to control your Resource of labor? What better way to make sure you have the room to maneuver than to 'Own' a politician or 5 (or more)

So, my thoughts were kicked off on that plane for at least the first hour. Then I got to thinking about a book I have, that tends to be rather dogged eared from all the times I have picked it up to use as a crystal ball of the future. That book is 'Friday' by RA Heinlein. If you have never read it, you may want to, just to get a taste of a possible future on this planet. I am not saying that it will happen, just that it might. One aspect of that book that always hits home is how the Corporates took over ALL governments on the world. Wars still happened but they tended to be a bit more obscure than the ones we have now. As RAH put it, "How do you Nuke IBM? Do you know where its headquarters really are? Do you know that they aren't set up with fail safes in every country around the world? " Think about that. Lets say Monsanto 'controls' Mexico. And (for giggles) Google 'controls' the U.S. and Canada. Well, Monsanto wants to change the aspects of the U.S. food market and of course Google has an issue with that. How do the corporations settle it out? Nuke France and call it a draw. or some similar stupidity. Just showing force instead of actually trying to work with one another may be the new corporate norm in the future. Or not. Again, that's just a piece of speculative fiction. (though he did nail the idea for webcrawlers/search engines in it. Go read. You might be surprised)

But then I read a piece on the possibility of future civil war in this country. The author put his book out in 98 and re printed it 2006. (the original links are at WRSA) This falls DIRECTLY in line with what others have been saying about tribes and the fracturing of this country. There were a couple of points that I had to take a face value since I couldn't refute what he was saying nor could I confirm it.(low band width BLOWS) But even with those points, his argument is kinda disturbing.

All of this going hand in hand, well, my thoughts are really gelling up on what is growing more and more possible everyday. And the sad part of it is, IT IS ALL BY DESIGN with NO thoughts given to those that will die or suffer due to these things(other than wanting them to die). To think that EVERY strife issue is coordinated by some jack ass with an agenda of power, EVERY SINGLE ONE, really shows me, just how far this world has fallen from that Glorious re-Awakening called the Renaissance. We are on the verge of another Dark Ages and its guys like us (all 10 of my followers lol) that will hold the fort of knowledge as best we can. The Monasteries are pretty much gone the way of the dinosaurs (there are a few but they are really far and few between unlike those during the European dark ages)


Well, no matter how it falls out, I know that there are more than a few of us out here in Reality that see the possibles, are flexible enough given enough motivation (and we will have plenty) that there will be a rebirth (though not in our lifetimes, of that I am fairly certain.)
But there is that other possible outcome of it never coming to fruition and things just continually declining into further and further hellish versions until there is an evolution of a sorts and the human race divides into two separate species. (ok, I have officially reached beyond my cuffs and hit 'way out there'.) (and my punctuation went to shit. LOL) I think its time to put up the keyboard for the night and go bash a building to splinters (usable ones though)
