Doctors Taking the Hippocratic Oath "too serious"? According to our White House heath-care Adviser to Obama they are. Having shown already that they want to "cull the heard," "Useless Eaters" had been the term used by cynics when painting the picture of the Elite's view of us mere mortals; the unwashed masses. [LINK]
It is not so easily dismissed as a straw man anymore.
And Lets not forget about the People Of Honduras who had the cojones to outst their President after he violated their constitution. You would think that the so called "Freest Country in the World" would support The People in their struggle to enforce the Rule of Law wouldn't you? Well, not according to our own President. After all, those in power in Washington D.C. don't want to give the impression that violating the constitution [LINK] [LINK] is considered legitimate grounds for the removal of Presidents.

An American Checkpoint - No, it's not the cool new way to mark a form
WATCH VIDEO
Soooo let me see if I get this exactly right. According the the officer in the video you DO NOT HAVE TO OBAY. And They acknowledge the fact that you don't have to, however they will force you against your will to comply...
If that isn't gangster-ism what is?
If that doesn't seem that bad, this vid is not even the best/worst example of this either. This guy didn't open his door and got forced out. While being tasered he got is face raked across the broken glass sticking up from the door frame,
on purpose.
By the way, does anyone else have a problem with, it being considered "resisting" by police, when you're having involuntary muscle spasms from "Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) Technology ® TM"?
Protect and Serve?
Yes, PROTECT my job and SERVE the state.
Welcome to the land of random searches by high school drop-outs who openly acknowledge their trampling of your rights while they literally trample your head. Of course you deserve to get beat-down and treated like an animal if you don't submit. You think your big bro would have it any other way, buddy? He's just trying to take care of you.
Police and military train in offensive, brute-force tactics and techniques that are amoral and immoral. Demanding direct compliance from any and all individuals they encounter regardless of the circumstance.
Its going to be great when all those crazy combat vets from all these wars we got going come on back home. And after years of fighting this hidden insurgency, with a threat around every corner, day in and out shaking down peasants while on overdrive -I'm sure it has no bearing on our next generation of law enforcement officers.
And the strange thing is...
Individually, if questioned these men say they are fiercely independent and value personal freedom deeply. Yet, they routinely violate the rights of others -and are often powerfully moved to do so, in the name of these deep-held personal values, order, safety and morality. But the truth of their harmful actions is hidden in a fog for them, not in the least by institutional culture that taps into the values of the volunteer officers.
This "esprit de corps" creates the allegiance of these opposed principles of freedom and fascism. Living within one man, and not the least conflicted.
Responsibility for an individual's actions is clouded by chain of command, drill and practice of take-down maneuvers and layers of policies and procedures.
And so doing they have created an adversarial relationship between Law Enforcement and The People. The travesties they commit in the name of the established order got generally unquestioned and those that do question the order are faced with anger and violence.
So the truth is, at the end of the nightstick you have no rights.
Ask any Black Person.

The way out?
Probably, the only way to get back some of the lost freedoms that the individual sacrifices to subsist by the mechanisms of this "service industry economy" is to return to an agrarian state of life. We have chained ourselves to our desks, and the nicety of "customer service" -but is there not the other option? To "seize the means of production" in the form of agrarian self-sufficiency?
Our generation will NOT have social security money to fall back on. The SSA even states on its website NOT to depend on them. Google to find out how jacked up it is. We need a form of security of our own for retirement. If we know how to use the land -animals and agriculture to survive, then we have a better shot at being "socially secure".
What has value when the dollar is either inflated or deflated into "pariah status"?
Resources themselves.
And the ability to use resources effectively. When you don't spend government backed fiat currency on cooperate owned processed consumer goods then you are not fueling that unjust system. At the same time, you are increasing your and your families health and well being, as well as security for the future.

Middle Class Guilt and the Emerging Oil Bubble Economy
Here we go again.
On the front lines of the next big economic bubble.
I observed the pattern of the dot-com bubble and the housing bubble, especially by living here in California and some have remarked the new economy is a bubble/burst cycle economy (but there is nothing new about it apparently)
An economic bubble is when people pick something on "the market" that is gaining naturally as it should but un-natural, outside forces interfere and people start buying in not because they naturally would do so but now rather as a form of betting (can you believe this is all legal?). They overload it beyond what its really worth outside of the "fad". But because people see it growing, they think it must be for real even though its just like people fighting over a used kleenex from a celebrity.
Now I'm scared shitless about what is going to be the fallout of the emerging OIL BUBBLE economy.
I had just heard a radio interview on NPR thismorning with an analyst talking about todays record oil jump of 10 dollars on the heals of a week of newscasters commenting "Hey guys great news first day of no gas price jumps". And then right after that, a shill for the oil companies posing as an environmentalist rattles on about the changing infrastructure and how the price increases are systemic.
Noted in the commentary was how the down economy makes for a weak dollar and our weak-ass federal reserve chairman will keep the interest rates low, creating an even weaker dollar. This cycle coming at the same time as increasing concerns about food shortage have been given a boost by industry looking to our food supply as an alternative to crude-based fuel needs, adding more economic pressure.
The commentary noted that Morgan Stanley (a highly influential investment analysis company) has insisted that the price of oil WILL go up.
And so here's the bubble:
Oil is being seriously looked at internationality as a viable and valuable investment commodity- Especially since the dollar is so weak. So, many international companies have pulled their investment out of the dollar (and it sinks farther), but it begs the question, where will they put it now?
And the meat of our dilemma:
Because when a commodity is said to have "investment potential" that term means some people are buying up as much as they can, hoping the price goes up, NOT because they want to actually use that commodity.
It is very rare for a commodity investor to actually get the commodity they have invested in at all. In reality, they sell it at the last minute when the price is the highest!
Guess who is paying that highest possible price? YOU ARE.
To make it clear: By virtue of the fact that people are buying it, not to really use it but just with the hope that the price goes up: THE PRICE WILL GO UP!
That is because the investors are creating a false sense of higher demand.
I hope you all have at least heard people talk about "supply and demand" as it relates to something's price. What that means in a free market is when a commodity is in demand, companies selling you things are going to charge as much as they can possibly get from you before you refuse to pay, thus setting the market value.
And in our case there is another element driving the price up as well.
And that element is FEAR.
I don't want to go far off topic but I will briefly ask people reading this to think about TV shows and the news these days if they can recall the last time in the US we had such reactionary mass embrace of the environmentalist movement. Would you agree it was say, around 1990? Remember the cartoon show "Captain Planet"? (produced by Ted Turner who has been quoted saying "I am a socialist at heart".)
From my memory it started with pressure to get rid of styrofoam and hairspray, I remember as a kid that they made a big deal about that stuff and we started getting a smaller trash can too. Too small for our family of 6 especially when we kids cleaned our rooms. I remember a couple kids at school scared about what would happen, pleading with their peers to "save the environment". Then it was kinda dropped by the time the x-files came out, as fast as it started, and then we were all against cigarettes by 6th grade -2 years later.
I propose that this set up a very real FEAR inside of those youngsters at the time and it created a powerful subconscious TRIGGER.
Being used today.
In a very clever way.
Those who learned the history of the United States and the Industrial Revolution will recall that Oil and Banking have been intimatly tied together for a very long time. Those who know a little more will know that radical political movements across the globe in the 20th century were funded by the international banking establishment.
I believe most people would agree, still, that the environmentalist movement is a whitewashed version of radical leftism.
Since industry is tied to the world banks and the world banks are tied to funding radical political movements is it any wonder today that the biggest proponents now of this radical environmentalist movement are industry?
But they do not advocate much of a change for how they do business, but rather how YOU behave and how much you SPEND.
Though guilt based advertising triggering those fears planted during youth and by radical leftist collage professors that work in science and industry who get on the controlled media which are, funded by big industry and then berate us for the use of our habits then harp on how gas is going to be uber expensive.
You couldn't ask for better marketing.
How happy would Peter Pan, JIFF and Skippy be if they got together and had scientists come on the news everynight and talk about how we are going to have to get used to $8.00 a jar peanut butter? I would guarantee when you went to the store the next morning you would see $8.00 peanut butter on the shelf.
And thats what is happening to us all.
We have fear based marketing and deep product placement going on with the so called "green" fad aiding the oil companies in their phenomenal record breaking profits by convincing us all we are evil and as a punishment deserve the artificially high price at the pump.
We have big banks and international investors driving the price of oil up through its new posture it as an investment commodity.
We have the recoil of this effect damaging the US economy further, weakening the dollar and creating a self fulfilling prophecy and downward spiral which will soon be exacerbated by alternative fuels based on the food supply, farther straining resources around the globe.
As the demand for goods so closely tied to our survival become more more strained the result will be more constraints on individual human behavior and a consolidation of government powers internationally.
Who knows how deep this cycle will take us an how much of our economic infrastructure will be dismantled in the process? Will there be an airline industry? Will there be cars? What about when it all breaks down the the price returns to normal? Who will have the power that comes from industry at that point? Why the hell is everyone moving to Dubai??

The Cost of Doing Business
The true impact of globalism is becoming clearer every day. And the impact is taking its toll not just here in the States but all over the world as we all go down like sheep to be slaughtered by the global economic terrorism of China.
And for the USA this melamine in the food to fake out the tests for protein when grading is just be beginning. [link] [link] We have never had to deal with this kind of overt, dangerous tampering with the food supply in our country. Keep in mind that Menu Foods has stated that they purchased HUMAN FOOD GRADE wheat gluten from the Chinese company (see articles in above links).
As this world becomes smaller, we have seen the lives of US citizens became more and more like our 3rd world neighbors. We all know that wages are down and for America's working class "job security" is almost an oxymoron. International Corporations funded by International Banking in bed with the US Government-and governments across the globe, creates a corrupt combine that pushes workers in industrialized nations into a corner. If an industrial nation chooses to compete globally against a mass of government slaves in piss-poor working conditions, to stay competitive, they too must accept a lower standard of living and employment. [link] [link]
And it will get lower and lower and lower.
The Chinese industrial model has also affected working conditions in other developing nations where the people were just barely starting to grasp some measure of life being less oppressed. As those factories in India and Taiwan, even Mexico are getting pressure from the buyers to be competitive with China their already marginal standards are dropping as well. [link] [link]
As for the USA does anyone else remember a thing called PROTECTIONISM??
Its a great little concept where instead of letting slave-manufactured third world goods flood our shores making US manufacturing jobs obsolete, we actually charge other countries for the privilege of doing business with America and adjust the prices to consumers to reflect the cost of the goods in the US domestic market. Those that argue this would drive prices up need to remember that cheap foreign goods is what drove the wages down to begin with. You can't expect to find a cure by taking more poison.

Money for nothing
Whenever I think about how the Federal Reserve and credit card companies work it hella reminds me of the old Dire Straights song "Money for Nothing". What I get from the song is that its about a band being encouraged (by Satan?) to sell-out artistic talent and not be concerned with a feeling of cheapening ones self when the end result is a shitload of money.
"Hell, doing albums of crappy pop music your producer selects - its money for nothing and chicks for free."
The true cost however, is overlooked.
That's what brings me back to my point. We are like that band man. The money we spend in our "low inflationary" period we are in now is like money for nothing. But there is a cost, and the cost is in freedom - and a stable economy for future generations.
If you have been burned by the credit cards you got in your 20s with a 25% interest rate you are still paying on 10 years later you know - Nothing is free.
So do you think that the $2,000.00 you spent then is fair and proportional to the amount borrowed. That would be $500.00 a year if you kept the balance the same. How many days at work does that $500.00 represent to you after the taxes are taken out? How much disposable income do you have after paying bills? What did Chase Manhattan do to earn that money? The cost of doing business with a shark is to bleed. They get money for nothing - from the so called luxury of providing you money to buy cheap slave labor Chinese crap [link] [link] [link] to maintain the economy to offset the delcine of the worth of the US Dollar.
Who is doing whom a favor?
There is this whole other thing of course that produces money out of thin air called Fractional Reserve banking [link]. The racket is mind blowing when you understand what it is!

The first posting
I wont spend much time waxing about the intention of this blog. Its about how this modern life has turned for the worst. Its about how society as we know it has regressed with the Western thrust of the Enlightenment ending some 70 years ago (at best) - what we have had in the mean time is the development of these intense systems of control which have gown to the point that we must now face it every day.
Additionally, regarding the format of writing in this blog. I belive language and thoughts are fluid and interconnected. Ideas flow, so consider it "Essay Jazz". In your own use of expressions, be clear but don't hold back. Communication is liquid.
Watch The New MIKE JUDGE film IDIOCRACY.
