| Religion Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story Save every installment and you will have the complete story of Religion and other lies we call History: We are so fond of saying in regards to the horrors of war and annihilation, that we must not forget History or we are doomed to repeat it. So too, we must in kind, remember the History of personal sacrifice. We must remember what worked in our ultimate march to victory. We must remember what it took from every citizen to persevere. If we do not we are doomed to failure. Before we go on to other problems and insights, the thoughts of one more person deserves note. During the 14th century there was an explosion of mystics. One of particular interest, in light of what we are experiencing today, is from Germany. Meister Eckhart, (1260-1327), was a Dominican friar. He was also a brilliant intellectual that lectured on Aristotle’s philosophies at the University of Paris. In 1325 however, his teachings brought him into conflict with the Archbishop of Cologne. The Archbishop to no ones surprise at the time had him arraigned for heresy. He was charged with denying the goodness of God. He was also charged with teaching that God was born in the soul as many famous philosophers believed. They were particularly bothered by the fact that he was teaching about the eternity of the world. Meister Eckhart was a poet and completely enjoyed paradox, and metaphor. While he believed that it was right and rational to believe in God, he denied that reason alone could form any adequate explanation of Devine nature makes sense huh. The final proof of a knowable thing is made through either the senses or through the intellect. As far as God is concerned, there is neither sensory nor intellectual perception. This is because he lacks, even according to all known scripture, any form known to us. God was not a being whose existence could be proved, like any other object known to man. Therefore, declared Eckhart, he was nothing, Whoa. Oddly enough, that is the final feeling of every believer and non believer, think about it. All 3 of the great Religions in the end, leave it up to you. This is precisely because no one has ever seen him. None of the 3 is even allowed to depict, or name him, Sooooo? To be continued tomorrow! James Joiner Gardner, Ma http://anaverageamericanpatriot.blogspot.com |

Remember the Berlin wall at 56 but don't forget we blew the fall of the wall and the 28th Anniversary of the fall of the wall
50 years on: Getting over the 'Wall of Shame'
Wall long gone but Berliners still split
I remember when the Berlin wall fell there were Berliners on both sides of the wall that lamented the fall and wished it was still there. East Berliners in particular were concerned of losing the comfort of communism and feared the prospect of having to compete to make a living under Democracy.
We did not seize the moment when the wall fell. We squandered it in the name of politics. In this case by Reagan, G H W Bush and G W Bush for the Republican Party and their harmful braggart bullying in your face Politics.
Instead of showing the better part of valor and just shutting up and seizing the moment for world unity. They used it to say see we are better than you that is why we beat you. The stellar moment of the fall of the Berlin Wall was negated by Reagan and furthered by G W Bush.
20th Anniversary of the fall and the fall! They were great moments and could have been world changing events but it was not capitalized on for the good of the world but for the good of the Republicans Party and their world dominating fascist agenda.
Reagan, Bush, and other Republican pundits chose to capitalize off the fall of the Berlin wall and the USSR instead of using the moment to unify with Russia for the good of the world and our future. The fall of the wall was a moment for the entire world to share and revel in. We chose to divide and conquer the world instead.
I watched the 20th anniversary celebration in Berlin where 1,000 dominoes representing the Berlin wall all painted by artists around the world were ceremoniously set to falling. It is still a euphoric sight.
I remember 10 years before that when some East Berliner’s wanted the wall back up along with Communism as they found Democracy too competitive. I sensed a change but we blew it thanks to the Republicans and Democrats for not speaking up!
It had been 22 years and now that we had president Obama maybe the true meaning of the fall of the Berlin wall and the USSR will take hold but it has been lost in time. We keep hearing even today that the fall of the wall marked the end of Communism! That is asinine. Isn’t China Communist and using our Democracy and Capitalism very well to further their form of Government?
It is interesting that China is our bank and we can only function today because of China a communist country poised to at least sit side by side as the new leaders of the world.
I do not know if anyone else noted the intelligence of President Obama of not attending the ceremony in Berlin if I remember instead sending Hillary. That would have alienated Russia which Bush would have done on purpose. Obama is smart enough to know Russia is still stinging and we are trying to unite with them too to peacefully move into the future.
We know what was lost in building the wall, we know of the many lives lost trying to get to the west. We commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the walls building but I have never heard of the blown opportunity to unite when the wall fell and the ignorance displayed by the arrogant US instead.
Now with trump all bets are off. I don't see anything good any where in the world and every one on every side is scared shi54ess of trump and what he says and does. Hold on!

How an economic slowdown in the U.S. will affect the Chinese economy
At least China has realized our two economies are intricately intertwined. China is feeling what would be like without a US economy.
Remember what the ass Putin just got through saying?
RUSSIAN Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of acting as a "parasite" on the world economy by accumulating massive debts that threaten the global financial system. "The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite," With everything said just think about a world without the US economy!
A parasite! Cut the crap. I have discussed this in the past but could not find it. First I must admit I do not like Vladimir Putin. When the idiot Bush looked into his eyes and saw a compassionate man and a man you could work with I saw vile, hate, and a great danger to our unification.His desire is to make Russia great again of which I can not blame him but I see Dmitry Medvedev as much more level headed and common sensed.
That said, sometimes deserved and sometimes not but I see the United States as a Definition of a pariah If the US is a "parasite" on the worlds economy it is the fault of the world no not for trusting the US but for leaning on the US instead of taking care of itself and taking responsibility and accountability for themselves. I think much of the worlds economies have been Parasites too!
Personally I was offended, embarrassed, and disgusted, the way our S.O.B. Political children acted during the Debt debate but I do not believe our problems should have been affecting the world. Whatever you say about the US just imagine not a world without the US which I am afraid in many instances that would be a good thing but a world without the US economy. It is good and bad for the planet and all countries!
In our efforts to grow our country and economy we have raped much of the world of its resources and with the help of our allies reset Boundaries that will have a negative effect till the end of time. Again with that said Putin would be wise to apologize to the US and rethink what he ignorantly said. How much does Russia donate to the poor and famine and disease stricken countries of Africa and the rest of the world?
I am often bothered by the fact that our misleaders are ignoring our own poor and hungry while we help those around the world but we and our economy are the main drivers behind a mounting an exhausting number of natural or unnatural disasters striking countries around the world. Many of them I am afraid are due to mans negative impact on our environment but our economy allows us to be there.
Our success in growing our economy has had many negative and positive affects on the world and its countries. Countries of which China is the best example have grown and prospered because of the US economy. Our success has allowed China and the world to overpopulate the planet which seems to be turning on us now.
Due to our so called "success" we are destroying the planet because of over population but again with that said our economy is not a parasite on the worlds countries but a necessary evil to help the needy and to keep the worlds economies status quo. If not, most so called civilized countries around the world are going to regress "shrink" and it will be painful but I am afraid necessary. I am afraid at any rate it has to happen if someone in this world is to survive and prosper somewhere on this planet.
Remember US and China press reset button. This was a big week in US/Chinese diplomacy, but will it be a defining moment?
Now I have renewed hope that China will remember how important good relations are to both of our countries as we move through the 21st century.
Remember US-China ties 'to shape 21st century'
Also more than two years ago: The US and China will never be the same but share the same big boat hit by huge waves They better wake up and stop making waves!
Cooperation between China Russia and the US is critical! Obama is right to say our ties will shape the future of the 21st century. The US and China are eying each other and moving very cautiously as they try to strike a balance. A few years back I began to view our relationship with China as the most important in the world. Not because we drove each others economy but because if at the time with Bush's instigation to war with Russia China due to the fact of how our 2 economies are so intertwined that if something happened China would side with us not Russia.
I hope that never happens and I feel increasingly confident we can take the road to peace and prosperity into the 21st century with a united world. Many of you know I repeat often that Nostradamus gave us two roads to travel into the future. Bush had us on the first road, the road to war and a disastrous future for man kind. I feel increasingly confident thanks to Obama we are now on the second road, the road to understanding and a successful prosperous future.
China is our Banker as well as North Korea's immediate neighbor. They hold more than a trillion dollars in our Bonds. They have more at stake here and around the world than anyone. Stakes are now enormous! China has to be a key partner in whatever happens here, in North Korea and around the world. We can not do this unilaterally. Along with Russia China and the US must work together to shape the future of the world!
We can not do this alone! Not just Russia but we need China to help with Iran and North Korea. China holds over a trillion dollars of our debt. They make many of our products so we keep them employed and in that respect we keep each others countries going. They sell the majority of the products they make to Wal-Mart and continue to loan us money.
We are intricately inextricably interwoven in a symbiotic roller coaster relationship. I don't know if I like it or not but it works and must continue. It will get bumpy along the way but I trust like it or not our relationship will continue into the foreseeable future. I am seeing China get stronger and increasingly taking over Japan's role in Asia too. We have many differences but one important thing in common, a desire for a successful future for our two countries! Things are looking up finally!

China should be on the top of the world's skin cancer Hot spots
World's Skin Cancer Hot Spots - Forbes
WHO agency: Air pollution causes cancer: The fact that nearly everyone on the planet is exposed to outdoor pollution could prompt governments and other agencies to adopt stricter controls on spewing fumes.Previously, pollution had been found to boost the chances of heart and respiratory diseases. The expert panel's classification was made after scientists analyzed more than 1,000 studies worldwide and concluded there was enough evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer.
In 2010, IARC said there were more than 220,000 lung cancer deaths worldwide connected to air pollution. The agency also noted a link with a slightly higher risk of bladder cancer. Straif said there were dramatic differences in air quality between cities around the world and that the most polluted metropolises were in China and India, where people frequently don masks on streets to protect themselves.
200,000 people die every year in China because of air pollution.
Beijing's Pollution Alarms Neighbors, environmental secrecy angers public and the world
Microbloggers, state media and even delegates to this week's session of the National People's Congress, the largely rubber-stamp parliament, were already critical of the government for poor air and water quality. Now they are also expressing disquiet over the scarcity of information about the environment available to them.
*The bad news is that the country's hell-bent drive towards industrialization has brought in its train a host of collateral problems, not the least of which is pollution. Last month Beijing's air pollution soared past levels considered hazardous by the World Health Organization (WHO).
*Prior to that, the government often played down the pollution in Beijing, insisting it was merely fog, despite evidence to the contrary that was plain for all to see. Earlier this year, following public pressure resulting from hourly air-quality readings first published in 2011 by the U.S. embassy in Beijing, which Chinese authorities had previously denounced as "foreign interference," the municipal officials took notice.
Pollution in China is one aspect of the broader topic of environmental issues in China. Various forms of pollution have increased as China has industrialized, which has caused widespread environmental and health problems. According to the World Bank in 2007, 16 of the world's 20 most polluted cities are in China.[1][2]
*China, in Guangdong it is Province is made up of four small villages. It is the location of what may be the largest electronic waste (e-waste) site on earth.[1]: Once a rice village,[9] the pollution has made Guiyu unable to produce crops for food and the water of the river is undrinkable. Guiyu as an e-waste hub was first documented fully in December 2001 by the Basel Action Network.
For example, a November 2008 news story by 60 Minutes, a popular US TV news program, documented the illegal shipments of electronic waste from recyclers in the US to Guiyu. While taping part of the story on-site at an illegal recycling dump in Guiyu, representatives of the Chinese recyclers attempted without success to confiscate the footage from the 60 Minutes TV crew.
* 10 most polluted countries in the world
Latest industrial pollution to batter China environment: BEIJING, Hundreds of thousands of dead fish were left floating in a Chinese river after a chemical discharge, officials said Wednesday, the latest industrial accident to pollute the country’s battered environment.
About 100,000 kilograms of fish were cleared from 40 kilometres of the Fu river in Wuhan, the capital of the central province of Hubei, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing “local government investigations”.
I was overwhelmed thinking about the dire state of the environment in China in every respect then I was thinking wait a minute Fukushima's nuclear fall out has greatly affected Russia, Japan, and the entire world not to speak of Chernobyl.
Russia has made many environmental disaster area's in many former USSR countries. Much of South America is a mess, the United States has it's great amount of guilt and is now concentrating and fracking our frigging country to pieces for gas and oil.
Canada is doing its share with its grotesque oil sands in Alberta that they want to pipe through our heartland and its aquifers and wildlife migratory areas. I saw countries in South America where it was impossible to eat the food grown as it is in areas of China. These areas are all over the world.
We don't even want to get into the ocean with its numerous growing dead spots and continent size garbage swirls. Remember the pirate problem down around Somalia? We created them. At one time we had permission from tribal elders to dump all our nuclear and electronic waste in what was there fishing area and we killed everything forcing them into piracy. What we don't know about our pirates. We do this all over the world!
China was the focus at the outset but every continent every country is doing its share to destroy the only planet, the only place we have to live and the powers to be could care less that they are destroying it for their gain. I am disgusted!

China Urges Reunification at 100th Anniversary of Demise of Last Dynasty, promises more Democracy.
You better keep this in mind as we continue to grapple with China, it will get worse.
Chinese President Hu Jintao used Monday's 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution that brought an end of imperial China to call for reunification with Taiwan, an island that has been governed for the last six decades by the Chinese Nationalists.
His speech was followed by an hour-long military display, which included fighter jets, tanks and missiles. China still claims Taiwan as part of its own territory. The two sides have eased hostilities over the past few years, but China has not renounced the possibility that it will use force to prevent the separately-governed island from declaring independence.
Democracy vow as China marks national day: CHINA's top leaders have marked national day with an appearance on Tiananmen Square in central Beijing after Prime Minister Wen Jiabao pledged greater "democracy" and rights for the people.
In a speech Mr Wen pledged to address China's biggest social issues, including rising inflation, a yawning income gap, unemployment, food safety, corruption, environmental destruction and social injustice. "We will make great efforts to guarantee and perfect democracy and resolve the problems that most concern the people and that most directly involve their interests," Wen said in the speech posted today on government websites.
Does anybody really believe that? I want to say that China are master manipulators but they have learned from the best Democracy under communism something China has perfected. They have manipulated Democracy and Capitalism masterfully to further their style of all commanding Imperialist communism
As we've discussed often, the US is pledged to defend Taiwan who "at least they say" will never unify under China. There is no way we can get militarily involved with China's lust to rebuild Imperial China. Three years ago the US signed a deal to deliver a massive amount of advanced weaponry to Taiwan. The package includes a variety of U.S.-made weapons systems, including Patriot III anti-missile missiles, Apache attack helicopters, Harpoon missiles and Javelin anti-tank missiles.This was 3 years ago Some deliveries are in process and some still being worked out.
China is not taking this lying down! We have covered East, South, and China sea disputes extensively
Knowing all of this I must once again express naivety. We are so kept in the dark as to any truth in any incident here and around the world. I had no idea or even thought in this context but President Hu Jintao's call for a rejuvenation of the country 100 years after the Xinhai Revolution that ended more than 2,000 years of dynastic rule in China is something new to me. Worse part is that this includes Taiwan too and China is not going to settle for no!
President Hu calls on all of China's sons and daughters to join hands to carry on with the work of the Chinese Republic's first president, Sun Yat-sen, and realize his ideals of what he described as “China's great rejuvenation.” China has not been building her military and flexing her muscles for nothing. China wants Asia period and not just supremacy. She is going to have her Dynasty once again United States be damned. I do not like this.

Part 4 of 4: Federal Reserve, banks, and money warnings combined by quotes by past leaders will prove we have been set up for a fall
I will limit this to only the statements about our Banking system then follow it by the statements as to why and who for the Federal reserve system was really set up by and for and if it did not make sense before it will now.
The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. - J Edgar Hoover
The real rulers of Washington are Invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes. - Justice Felix Frankfurter - US Supreme Court Justice
* "The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922
The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know that a financial element in the large centers has OWNED the Government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." (History points to the last truly honorable and incorruptible American President as "Old Hickory") - FDR to Col. E. Mandell House 11/21/1933
"Give me control of a Nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Bauer (Rothschild)
"The Trilateralist Commission is international ...(and)...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing CONTROL of the political government of the United States. The Trilateralist Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize Control and consolidate the four centers of power: Political - Monetary - Intellectual - and Ecclesiastical." - Barry Goldwater , U.S. Senator AZ. "With No Apologies"
"We shall have World Government. Whether or not we like it. The only Question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent." - James Paul Warburg , Foreign agent for the Rothschild dynasty - Major Player in the Federal Reserve act scam / Feb. 17, 1950 speaking before the U.S. Senate.
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings, and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop OUR PLAN for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a World Government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual ELITE and World Bankers is surely preferable to the national auto - determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller CFR Kingpin, Founder of the Trilateral Commission, NOW Godfather / June 1991
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our Banking and Monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a Revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans" - Bill Clinton 1993
"We are on the verge of a Global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller, Memoirs , 2002
"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world - no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson [U.S. President during World War I]
"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets
"The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments' plans. " British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876. If you want to see them here they are wholly disconcerting but here
Now that will allow you to put this Federal Reserve setup into its undeniable perspective. However to save space I will merely add the link Here
Now what do you think?

Part 3 of 4: Nine Myths And Misconceptions About Money That Can Literally Kill You
I chose to reprint this at this time because I am just so peeved at this lie we are living they call a Democracy. This is all disquieting but give this a quick glance.
This was sent to me with no Author by someone more than in the know but I will leave that alone.Read it and weep, I am wanting to say every expletive in the world as once you hear this it makes 100% common sense and we are powerless? I do not know who the Author is but this is frightening, sobering, debilitating, and frustrating, what do we do about it? Pay particular attention to all of it, Google whatever you want. Man am I peeved with this set up they call a Democracy. SOB!
1) If we paid off our debts, our problems would be solved. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The banks wrote the Federal Reserve Act in secret. They said you would not be allowed to have money unless you first went into debt. In fact when you pay off a loan, the bank cancels money supply. So if we all paid off our debts including the government debt, we would have no money and the economy would collapse. We would all be reduced to barter.
2) The bankers who wrote The Federal Reserve Act in 1913 knowingly engineered a Fatal Debt Bomb into the legislation. This is true. When you go to a bank to get a loan, the banker created ten thousand dollars in new money by entering that amount onto a checking account. Notice that if you signed a note for simple interest at 10%, you will owe the banker $11,000 in one year’s time. He only created $10,000 so how do you pay him back the principal plus interest? Good question. What he does is to create more money through more loans so there is enough money to pay the note plus interest.
This means that the total amount of debts in the society are growing at a compound rate. Bankers have known since the Babylonians that unchecked exponential growth of unplayable debts will destroy any nation with a Debt Bomb. This is what is happening to America and the world today. Michael Hudson wrote about the Babylonian solution. They developed a formula that told them how long this rising tide of Unpayable Debt could grow before they had to cancel all the debts and start over again.
Let me repeat that the bankers have known this for over 4,000 years. But they have made sure that you know nothing of it because they want to foreclose on you and your nation so they can but everything for pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy proceedings.
The Russian demographer Borisov tells us that the bankers starved millions of Americans to death in the 1930s rather than allow people to understand the Babylonian solution. The Bible writers copied this concept when they wrote of the Jubilee cancellation of debt.
3) The Federal Reserve Act was written to transfer wealth from us to the bankers through the creation of a Debt Based money system. This is true. President Lincoln had created Greenbacks without borrowing money from the banks so there was no national debt and no interest on the debt. Lincoln simply printed the money and spent it into circulation.
There is absolutely no reason to have a national debt except to collect interest on a fictional debt. Why give the power to create money to the banks when government alone according to the Constitution is supposed to coin money? I will tell you why. The banks want to bring back slavery. They want you to become an indentured servant who inherits a national debt that is unpayable. They want to reduce you to slavery,
Any politician or pundit who does not understand this is either stupid or lying.
I should point out that President Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110 which directed the Mint to issue US Banknotes to replace Federal Reserve Notes. These JFK Banknotes were to be debt free as were Lincoln’s Greenbacks. They were withdrawn from circulation after his assassination. JFK was murdered on the 53rd anniversary of the secret meeting of the bankers on November 22nd, 1910 in a private rail-car that took them to Jekyll Island. Bankers like to do things on the anniversary of an important date to make sure you understand that monetary reform carries a death penalty.
4) All we have to do to solve our economic woes is to balance the budget. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. All those knuckleheads need to listen and learn. The Gross National Product is the total sales of a country. Economists write it as a formula Where GNP = C + I + G or GNP equals Consumption plus Investment plus Government spending. The total GNP is currently 14 trillion dollars. Suppose we balance the budget by cutting spending two trillion dollars. That would mean we subtract two trillion from G and our new GNP is reduced to 12 trillion dollars which means that one seventh of the American economy would disappear overnight. That would send us instantly into a worse economic blight than the first Great Depression. Currently the states owe the federal government almost 100 billion dollars for extended unemployment benefits.
A man was recently explaining to his young daughter that we have no bread lines like they did in the 1930s because we have almost 49 million people on Food Stamps. Suppose we cut off unemployment extended benefits and Food stamps to make a down payment on that two trillion dollar budget cut. America would have nationwide food riots. 90% of all black children are on Food Stamps. I do not know the figures for Hispanics. But there would be no grocery stores in major cities that would not escape the riots.
If you hear someone talking of cuts, tell them to eliminate Unpayable Debts and interest on the national debt by bringing back non-interest bearing debt free Greenbacks. Then they can cut out the five foreign wars and remove our troops from at least 100 foreign nations. Then they can seize the assets of the banks that stole over 27 trillion dollars from us during the Banker Bailouts.
5) Fiat currencies always fail. What we need is a gold standard. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy had fiat currencies that were successful. And only ended with their assassination. The Isle of Guernsey and the American colonies both had fiat currencies that were successful.
The Italians had a gold currency that failed in 1348. The bankers loaned out more money than they had on deposit. This is called fractional reserve banking. Usually a bank will loan out nine times what it has on deposit. The Italian banks in Venice were unable to meet demands for gold from their depositors.
Currently, the risk manager at JP Morgan has two thousand dollars in risk for every dollar in deposits. I think this is an underestimate.
6) America could go onto the gold standard because we have all that gold at Fort Knox. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. America has gold plated tungsten bars at Fort Knox. And the banks leased our gold and sold it four or five times to keep themselves from going bankrupt.
The gold was stolen by the Rothschild s and their friends. If we went back to the gold standard, we would be entering slavery to the Rothschild network because they would have all the gold money. The Rothschild s financed the Jewish trade in African slaves. Ask a black man how well that Rothschild slavery worked out for him.
I personally own silver because I expect this fractional reserve debt based monetary scheme to collapse very soon. I would use a gold exchange standard to get things going. But I could manage a monetary system with Greenbacks if Zionists and morons on welfare were not allowed to vote.
7) All we need to do to balance our trade deficit is to cut wages by devaluing the dollar so we can become more competitive. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Steve Keen is an Australian economist who says we need to increase wages so debts become payable. Unpayable debts lead directly to slavery. The US dollar eleven years ago was worth $1.20 when measured against a basket of six currencies. Today the US dollar is worth almost 75 cents. This has not created one job in the past decade. What it has done was raise the price of oil so everything costs more to produce.
In China factory workers are lucky to make a dollar an hour. They work 72 hours a week. They get no overtime and have no benefits. The Chinese workers do not make enough money to ride those Mag Lev fast rail trains you have read about. Suppose we cut American wages in half? Would that create jobs? No. We have been cutting wages since 1970 and we have fewer jobs today than then. It never worked in the past. No reason to believe it will work now.
To make the debts easier to pay we need to raise wages. To do that we have to stop issuing a million Green card work permits for legal immigrants. And we need to send back a few million illegal immigrants to open jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. But to create jobs we need new industries. We need to protect those industries with a 25% tariff. We need to create new jobs in computers, materials science, bio-engineering, aviation and energy by releasing the Top Secret research that is held in government labs. We could collect royalties from American industries employing American citizens. We could lease these patents to foreign competitors but we need a tariff to protect American jobs.
We made America prosperous by repealing the Glass Steagall Act and by allowing Credit Default Swaps to remain unregulated. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The bankers passed NAFTA and the WTO in 1994 so they could send 11 million jobs and 43,000 manufacturing plants overseas. They created the illusion of prosperity under Clinton by pumping up real estate and the stock market. The stock market was deliberately crashed in 2000 so the Zionists could elect George W Bush President because they wanted lots of wars for Israel. When the stock market failed, the Zionists created the subprime lending bubble on top of the already existing housing bubble.
They loaned money to people who had no means of paying
the loans. That did not matter. Some mortgages were sold as many as five
times in Mortgage Backed Securities. When these loans failed, the banks
collected on their Credit Default Swap insurance. There were no
reserves set aside to pay losses. That did not matter. The bankers had
the taxpayers pay out 27 trillion dollars in Bailouts to cover their
frauds and keep the banking criminals out of jail. When the Europeans
threatened a run on the American banks if they were not compensate for
the trash Wall Street sold them, Ben Bernanke created 12.3 trillion
dollars in new money and use it to but 6.3 trillion dollars in
fraudulent bonds.
Glass Steagall was passed in 1933 and forbade investment banks from becoming commercial banks so the depositors are not exposed to speculative risks. With the repeal of Glass Steagall Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan was allowed to sell 80 trillion dollars in Credit Default Swaps betting that interest rates will not go up. If interest rates do go up, there will be worldwide Depression. Jamie Dimon isn’t worried about it because he probably knows when the Zionists will start World War III.
This is not a free market. It is criminality on a grand scale.
9) We have a moral obligation to pay our national debt. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Jim Willie pointed out to Max Kaiser that in the 1990s under beloved leaders Bill Clinton and George H W Bush the Treasury sold 2.2 trillion dollars more in Treasury bonds than were required to fund the deficit. That money was pocketed by the banks who now expect you to pay them back for the money they stole plus the interest. Catherine Austin Fitts has been telling us for years that the government allows the banks to steal billions of dollars every week from government spending which we are not allowed to audit.
We owe the banks nothing. We need to take back what they have stolen.
I also need to make this point about money creation. When a bank makes a loan, they are creating money by adding credits to a bank account. They are not lending you Mrs. Jones life savings. What they are doing is creating money. Money is a claim against our right to purchase goods and services. If we increase the money supply, then we are all in a sense bearing a burden by the diminished purchasing power of our money. But only bankers are allowed to participate in the benefits of granting a loan. I don’t think so. Cancel the debts and seize all of the banker’s wealth. And that of their co-conspirators. We ought not to suffer because the bankers killed our Presidents. nine myths and misconceptions that can literally kill you

Part 2 of 4: What happens to the world if and when the U S files for Bankruptcy?

America's Impending Master Class Dictatorship Frightening but you can not deny this reality! We are in serious trouble and as I have pointed out for years it was done on purpose and right under our unsuspecting noses! Our real debt including Debt and unfunded liabilities is $120 trillion! Wrap your mind around that!
Those who have followed me over the years know I have often talked about the lie we are living today! I just Googled an example!An Average American Patriot: So many lies today in the lie we are ...
Think about it! What is the world without America? What would happen to the entire world if we were to file for Bankruptcy? China for one would be in anarchy and go under as the country she is today and wants to be tomorrow. I find this all very disturbing because it is laid on Obama's shoulders and being credited with this mess. Unfunded liabilities, ballooning deficit, ballooning debt, it is all Chinese to most of us. One thing I do know is President Clinton ran a surplus inherited by G W Bush. He was even looking at retiring the Debt. Bush changed all that forever!
Bush Cheney Greenspan Rove Gonzales, all the enablers, do not get enough credit for what they did in allowing the moral and financial bankrupting of America. I won't bother you with another link but Michael Whitney did a great piece detailing how Greenspan set it up. Those so called men are heralded as heroes by some. You have to realize they are all benefactors.
I always said Bush or those behind him learned their lessons well and anything they touched would be much worse than a like event in History. During the Depression when Roosevelt was trying to rebuild America we knew it happened on the Republican's watch and who to blame. They also knew and wanted to help fix it not make it worse as Republicans are doing today.
Anyway think back and you will see that everything was done on purpose and especially the timing was no coincidence. Bush and Greenspan kept the collapse off until he was out of office. People say get over it! Move on! However we will never get over it or be able to forget Bush as much as we want as his damage will affect our and the worlds lives forever. No I am not giving that bunch too much credit.
They shaped our future and the future of the whole world like it or not!et over it, not hardly! The debt clock had to be started during Reagan's time because of his success but could only register 9 trillion. Because of Bush's so called success it had to be altered to register 10 trillion. Now the debt is moving so fast it is going virile. 3.8 trillion is our new record budget for next year. How far off can bankruptcy be especially knowing how bad it really is?

Part 1 of 4: Control Government Spending or Face 'Apocalyptic Pain' too late and it will get worse!
Coburn: Control Government Spending or Face 'Apocalyptic Pain' Much much much too late and it will get worse! It was too late in 2007 when Greenspan's gift to Bush first started rearing it's ugly head. The collapse of the middle and lower classes along with the need was no coincidence nor was the timing setting it up to come to fruition on Obama's watch! There is apocalyptic pain coming and way you look at it so I pose a question I asked before.

Boycott Israel
Israel's Netanyahu urges world powers to maintain pressure on "rogue"
Iran: Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged world powers to maintain
pressure on Iran Sunday en route to Washington to participate in a
briefing on Iran's nuclear program , according to AFP. Recent efforts to pursue diplomatic routes with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Tehran's government, particularly on its nuclear program development, has increased Israel's concerns that Western governments will ease sanctions before Iran implements any substantial policy changes.
Netanyahu does not want peace or a 2 state solution. It scares him that we do and that we will give Iran a break. Netanyahu says military threat only way to stop Iran Israel has a lot of chutzpah
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday that American diplomatic and economic efforts to halt Iran's nuclear program need more time, rebuffing Israel's call for military force. Gates: Military force is not the only way to deter Iran
I am sick of Israel's provocation while they blame it on Palestinian's and the rest of the world. They are the problem not the cure! Iran is a big problem but Israel thinks they are the chosen ones and can do whatever they want. They are the biggest problem and we created her.
UN Envoy Condemns New West Bank Settlements No kidding but damn it they could care less! They will not stop until they instigate a middle east war and overwhelmed as we already are, forces us to have to come to their rescue as I said years ago.
The only thing to do is to force the instigating war mongers Israel to adhere to 181 or leave them to their own demise and Iran would see to it. You know, first reading how Israel and Palestine was allotted their territories in 1948 I do not condone that Israel has not been forced to adhere to that resolution. We, the US Britain and Europe especially are as guilty as Israel for not insisting Israel adhere to UN Resolution 181.
You know I say often that we are Israel's lap dog, her pit Bull that will do the fighting for her when she gets in trouble. Israel I came to realize is the worlds chief warmonger and the US the enforcer. It became obvious that coming to Israel's rescue would be how the US has the excuse to go after Iran. No bargaining make Israel adhere to UN resolution 181, no alternative! It is more than fair and equitable.
The Israel, Palestinian, Iran, Syria, Middle East issue will never be resolved peacefully Knowing that I have to agree with Ahmadinejad when he said if the US and Europe felt so bad for what happened to the Jews during WW2 then they should have given them part of their country.
Iran vs. Israel: Death or destruction? Destruction period!
Israel's ultra secret group of killers inside Mossad unknown even to them "Kidon" is well entrenched in Iran.
Iran vs. Israel: Can Israel and Iran be expected to work toward collective security measures, or are they unable to overcome their deeply engrained theocratic rivalry? By Laurelle Atkinson. Yeah let Iran wipe Israel off the map period end of discussion as far as Iran is concerned!
I reiterate there will never be peace in the Middle East, period! Only the UN wants it, Israel wants it her way and Iran/Syria want Israel obliterated, period. Israel and Iran have long been in preparation for this confrontation. As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb. The drive even then was to possess a nuclear weapon though that desire is still denied until Iran can get their hands on one.
I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon.
The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran. We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan. Nuclear program of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia atoms for peace
I would have to assume this was after we overthrew the democratically elected President of Iran Mohammad Mosaddeq to install our ruthless puppet the Shah of Iran. We built and supplied Iran's first reactor because we thought we were in control. What the hell is wrong with us? That makes us personally responsible for the 1979 Revolution in Iran, the capture of our hostages, the disaster in the desert after a failed attempt to rescue them, the rise of the Revolutionary Guard, the protesters dilemma, the nuclear issue in Iran today, everything!
You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. Now I see that Arab leaders feel the same way. They fear a nuclear arms race and I can only conclude that knowing how far along Iran is and how they feel that they are hedging their bets and it is already under way clandestinely.
On the other side there is Israel! I realized a long time ago that Israel is the world's chief war monger and we seem to do their bidding and fighting. If they get into a war with Iran we will end up coming to their rescue regardless of what they do or what Hillary says and that is sad! We should in fact take care of Jewish American's and American's and our interests in Israel and otherwise tell them in no uncertain terms they are on their own if they continue to instigate war not peace and expecting us to come to their rescue.
There is a US law that prohibits the support of countries that break the treaty in question. Vanunu's information led foreign experts to conclude that Israel had produced fissile material for as many as 200 atomic warheads thus warning other Nation's of Israel's military might. It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember Mordechai Vanunu whistle blower of Israel's clandestine nuclear program? Uzi Eilam former head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission said Mordechai Vanunu did Israel a favor after revealing information about an illegal nuclear program at Israel's Dimona reactor. His information proved that Israel had broken the 1968 treaty on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
There is a US law that prohibits the support of countries that break the treaty in question. Vanunu's information led foreign experts to conclude that Israel had produced fissile material for as many as 200 atomic warheads thus warning other Nation's of Israel's military might. It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember this discussion? The US will pay the price for Israel and US nuclear lies and hypocrisy after Israel attacks!
I must admit Israel's hypocrisy and lies are a plan I have discussed often and I have to disagree with Eliam's final assertion. He says an attack on Iran's nuclear program would be counter productive. I beg to differ! The General hit the nail on the head though and does not know it. I have long asserted that Israel would attack Iran's nuclear interests and we would come to her rescue.
That is a fact that is why I find his final statement troubling and prophetic. He correctly said One strike is not practical. In order to delay the Iranian program for three to four years one needs an armada of aircraft, which only a super-power can provide. Only America can do it. Bingo! You know from numerous discussions here that Iran is involved in every Middle Eastern country not just Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia where they have corrupted elections for Shiite interests in Iraq, backing rebels in Yemen, and instigating attacks on Saudi oil fields. Bush freed Iran to instigate far and wide and they are.
Israel is not going to back down. When all is said and done they know the US will be there for them. It is time for Iran to put up or shut up! I am sure the US plans to come to Israel's rescue and do it largely from the Gulf with numerous carrier fighter groups and they are finished with their 30000 pound bunker buster behemoth to take out underground facilities. Both sides are locked and loaded and Syria is happening at the same time. That is no accident, all we can hope for at this time is to minimize these disasters as much as possible and keep them from turning into WW3.

We wonder why some wantonly destroy our planet, now I remember why
![]() |
| The Guaraní Aquifer is a truly fabulous underground water system |
6 Years ago we had a particularly bad climate report and it got me on to the subject of fresh water which amongst many things has become a pet peeve. Of late the question has been posed often as to why would oil, energy, and other corporations destroy the planet and ruin our fresh water supply when they too depended on it. Then I remembered why.
Climate Report's are increasingly dire but after discussing it with you, the poor getting hit and the rich fleeing to South America which has been the case for years made perfect sense!
We discussed the growing apocalyptic climate situation. During the course of discussion I learned an awful lot that really makes sense now that I see the dire predictions and how they will affect the worlds poor, ours included. political semantics aside just look at this and what I learned from you.
The world faces increased hunger and water shortages in the poorest countries and even in the richest, massive floods and avalanches in Asia, natural and man made catastrope's around the world, and species extinction unless nations adapt to climate change and halt its progress "you know it never will" according to a report approved by an international conference on global warming. I hate to say it but I do not see a 100% turn around changing anything in time but we still must do it.!
The poorest of the poor in the world -- and this includes poor people in prosperous societies -- are going to be the worst hit," Pachauri said. "People who are poor are least able to adapt to climate change.The report said up to 30 percent of species face an increased risk of vanishing if global temperatures rise 3.6 degrees above the average in the 1980s and 1990s.
Areas in drought will become even more dry, adding to the risks of hunger and disease, it said. The world will face heightened threats of flooding, severe storms and the erosion of coastlines.This is a glimpse into an apocalyptic future the Greenpeace environmental group said of the final report. "You and I know it is here already"
Man's livable habitat will shrink starkly, said Stephen Schneider, a Stanford scientist who was one of the authors. "Don't be poor in a hot country, don't live in hurricane alley, watch out about being on the coasts or in the Arctic, and it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting."
We discussed yesterday the fact that a worsened return to the Dust bowl in America is forecast. We already are experiencing more severe storms with human and economic loss, and cultural and social disruptions.We are also already experiencing more hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires. Knowing this is already happening it makes sense now what I learned from some of you but in a minute please!
We also learned and this only makes sense, that Africa will be hardest hit. By 2020, up to 250 million people are likely to be exposed to water shortages. In some countries, food production could fall by half, it said. Knowing the cries around the world already to increase aid and help to the starving people of Africa this is telling and Dire news indeed. We also know that Parts of Asia are threatened with massive flooding and avalanches from melting Himalayan glaciers. Europe and Australia will be greatly affected from even moderate increases in sea temperatures and changing temperatures as we already see.
That does make me remember that when I was in College a Woman who was a survivalist wanted me to go with her to Nova Scotia because it was believed even then that, that would be one of the only areas spared. Now that brings me to what some people brought to my attention and to put 2 and 2 together.
I have heard here half jokingly that Bush had purchased 3,000 acres in Paraguay and after he screwed up America he was going to flee to Paraguay.
Then someone educated me as to what sits under Bush's little Paraguayan Paradise. the Guarani Aquifer!
After learning this I found out The Guaraní Aquifer System (SAG) is one of the world´s most important fresh groundwater reservoirs, due to its extension (1,200,000 km2) and its volume (40,000 km3). The SAG is shared by four countries: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (South America), which use this resource for various purposes with different exploitation levels. GUARANI AQUIFER SYSTEM
After I found this all out I was told that Ted Turner recently bought 37.000 hectares (1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres)from Argentina and they have sold a ton of their land to the rich who were buying up land in water. Hearing the news from the report and that it would affect the poor and our water and food supplies the most it all dawned on me.
The rich are destroying the world for their profit and while the rest of us are doomed to try and survive in the mess they created for their financial gain they will flee to relatively safe areas with protected underground water sources and they will be protected to start over again. I find it very disturbing! Please think about this and let me know what you think.

Obama seeked end to perpetual U.S. war. After 237 years? Part 2 of2
* You know it never happened now under trump the Forever war will get much worse! 241 years of war and counting!
Obama seeked end to perpetual U.S. 'war on terror': After launching costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
the United States is tiring of conflict. While combating terrorism is
still a high priority for the White House, polls show by large margins
that Americans' main concerns are the economy and domestic concerns such as healthcare.
"We
have now been at war for well over a decade," Obama said near the start
of his address. Toward the end, he added: "But this war, like all wars,
must end." Though aimed first at a domestic audience, Obama's speech at
Washington's National Defense University was also the latest milestone
in his campaign to reshape the global image of the United States -
particularly in the Islamic world.
We have not been at war for over a decade we have been in this war for over a decade but at war since our inception.
America: Living to fight as it appears or Fighting to Live as we are told?
Many of you know that I have been writing about the truth of what is going on with us and the world since 9/11. Until the advent of the lying war monger Bush I always assumed the United States did the right thing for average citizens and fought and went to war only when provoked to protect our citizens and our autonomy. Boy was I ever wrong.
For one reason or the other we have been at war since 9/11 and after much research I no longer trust the Governments reasons for taking us to war. I realized our wars were for us to fight and for them to gain. Well the other day someone asked why I write about war so much so I thought I better illustrate why once again. I took to calling our current war situation Bush's forever war and for good reason.
I see no end and in fact as you watch the middle east, China, Russia, indeed the mindset of the entire world you know why as this is barely beginning and like it or not will dwarf the 100 years war. Yes war is our past and our future. We can only hope it turns out as good as the past.
Knowing I have been thinking of this for years and I based it on a book written in 2003 in which it was pointed out that we have been at war since our founding, 227 years, that is now 237 years so I had to revisit this thought. 209 out of 235 years of war or armed conflict Call it what you want but sadly the rest of the so called civilized world is no better!
Years ago now I was consumed with the crazy thought that my son who at the time was an EOD (explosive ordinance Disposal) Team Leader just got home from Afghanistan then volunteered for Iraq. I was very concerned as to how many civilians and American soldiers were going to lose their lives in what many of us considered an illegal war. I was sickened watching our Patriotic sons and daughters being abused and ill used.
I was listening again to the number of Americans killed in past wars including the civil war where some 562 thousand lost their lives as you know, fighting amongst ourselves. At first I was focused on the wasted lives in Iraq and was wondering how many there would be when all is said and done as well as feeling there is no foreseeable end and we still have to wonder, then I went to this list and I wanted to compare how many lives were lost in wars in contrast to how many we lost fighting amongst ourselves.
The numbers were getting too convoluted for me to come up with anything tangible I thought. I then was looking at the immense numbers of conflicts and wars we were in and I decided a comparison of war years to peaceful years would be best to tell our story. I couldn't figure it out. I was floored by the number of conflicts and wars America has been in since our founding and thought I would say we have only had approximately 50 years of peace and supply this link on our war and peace History. List of America's wars
Then I went back to Google and I found this compelling story by Jon Stanton showing that America has been at war openly or clandestinely essentially since we were founded. I merely want you to see what is out there and think about the whole story. Having read what he wrote I thought there was something at least worth reading, thinking about, and putting in perspective.
I never read him so I researched him and found him to be a Virginia based writer that writes from a left wing perspective and I am afraid I agree with much of what he says. In fact I have written much of it myself in the past. I am not a warmonger I am a peace lover so I thought I would give you the link to Jon Stanton's book 227 years of warfare written in 2003 and you could tell me what you think. 227 years of warfare You can now add 10 more years to that and running.
It did make me remember that I did a diary a while back in which I said the U.S. has a war economy and some took exception to that but looking at our History of wars our fault or not I really have to wonder, what are we? I am a peace lover willing to fight for my country as are my sons as you know but are the leaders of America fighting to live or living to fight? what is happening to us? How are we supposed to feel knowing we are right now in what I call at minimum our 100 years war, Bush's Forever war?
We
are not just going to be allowed to go home after these wars and be
left alone. The so called war on terror has now taken on a life of its
own and we will be forced to respond like it or not. You listen to the
so called experts say you kill one Al Qaeda and another takes his place.
That
is a naive interpretation because killing Islamists is like the head of
the Hydra. You kill one and many take its place. This will not just
stop plus with the middle east, China and Asia,North Korea, etcetera,
there is much right around the corner, like it or not.
