So I've lost faith in notion that, well, people give one shit, let alone two. Ok, maybe people give one shit, but dont have a clue enough to have 2. About a year ago I was predicting that in Obama's wake we (those who have all 'fought' in their own ways and forms "The Machine" for a few years) would be the years behind that most of us have for the past few years at large fought. 

All this year I've taken on my prediction as matter of fact. I simply dont sense any actual movement any more. After Obama the messiah, the 9/11 "No Plane" hoax COINTELPRO operation, and watching Ron Paul and the other thrid party candidates get annihilated by the Media, all I sense is more ignorance, apathy and not only disorganization but lack of organization althogether.    

Is it really this bad? Sure, we have some 'new' 'revolution' hijacked by and being conducted by Fox News, that is being adhered to by misguided and uninformed sheep. It was actually started by what I'd consider the remants of what I stand for. Glenn Beck appears to be the ring leader of the 'new' 'movement'. Great. So he's the only one in the Conservative arm of the Big Media who will actually attribute Bush to the current nightmare, but its still a joke in any terms that I'd call a real movement. It's all about healthcare. Were it not for healthcare there wouldn't even be an anti-Obama "movement", in my view.

Go to one of those these-days famous "town hall meetings". Healthcare is all they're talking about. As far as I'm concerned, the healthcare debacle as of recent is yes more of the fed trying to gain more micromanagement into our personal lives, but in reality is small potatoes compared to the actual problem. It isn't THE problem, only the latest symptom. But at the town hall meeting any and every discussion was brought back to healthcare to avoid the bigger picture.

I just dont even sense discourse, or even ranting and bitching about the real issues anymore. Now that I mentioned healthcare, if anyone at all even comments, I can already foresee this 'rant' of mine becoming about such drivel.

The point is I dont even hardly detect the sorts of insights and concerns in The People anymore that I used to. It's like they just disappeared. People used to work very hard in attempting to stop what is best called "The New World Order", which is different things to different people. But whatever it is or was to all of us it seemed there used to be a push against it, by many and large.

I certainly can't exclude myself from this recent state of being lackluster. I just dont sense, despite the economic nightmare we're experiencing on top of the rest, much interest in the sorts of political shit I'd write and repost, let alone the sorts of technological totalitarian context I'd write exclusively. And this is far beyond my own experience in my little world of publishing, I mean all around. Although the efforts within Myspace definitely are an indicator that I'm using as a gauge in this post. I see online and in 'the real world' even more detachment from what we used to call being "woken up".

It's like everyone tuned in, turned on and dropped out, except without the perpetual massive doses of lab grade LSD. I suppose the Truth could be even more mind-bending than a trip down psychedelic lane. It's just that I used to see all the regluar people out there trying to get someones attention with all of the woes of the world. Not everyone was making noise about everything, but people were making noise about at least certain things.

For me its been hard because it seems nobody no longer cares about much that I'd get into that many do know, let alone the details that normally I'm one of the few who even gets into. For me it's tough to spend extreme amounts of time researching and authoring an exclusive article, when we're back in 2002 grade mentality wide and large. Maybe everyone is reeling from the "Great Recession", and genuinly dont have time to think.

I know it has forced me into a constant state of work, in terms of income and survivalist type activities. But a key detail in my lack of motivation towards what I'm ranting about is I spent so many years doing nothing but "this", that I became a n00b in terms of self-sustainment and self-suffiency. So now when I sense an overwhelming flow of apathy etc, I wiegh that towards a lack of self-suffiency, the math of where I put my free time has manifested. For almost 4 years my true hobbies dabbling in inventing technology and electronics morphed into political extremism.

Now I'm even more of that political 'extremist', but it all seems in vein. A year ago I believed there was hope for the masses, like we were almost there, but today I'm back on there not being any hope for them like when I started this journey. Left & Right potilics seem stronger than ever, leaving a middle gounder like me a minority amongst his own race (I'm "White"). In the world of the fringe, 9/11 truthers still hate me because I dont adhere to Loose Change 2nd Edition, and the "Skeptics" hate me because I still demonstrate a "conspiracy". Today being agnostic, Christians hate me for not mixing religious propaganda into every paragraph, while the rest hate me for having once done so while attacking their technology messiah in every breathe.

And so on. The rational mind is beaten and battered out of the binary mentality arena. I have all the files and materials ready to make multiple films. I've given up much credibility in not delivering such. Other than a current computer hardware crisis I could be working on such film(s) right now, but odds are I wouldnt be. For me to make my sort of ground breaking film its the hardest, as each days news implicates the script. I could do it, but to sacrifice the rest of my free moments the way I did for so long seems futile, while I dont even have them the way I did those years. 

So I say why bother? As far as I can see there isn't a point. With the paragraph above, I'm not even trying to turn this post, assuming anybody comments, into some discussion about me. I dont want a motivational pep talk. I just want to see people motivated. I'll make true of my promises eventually, but why sweat it I ask, when it all seems to be too late?

You should try working at a hospital, have a mom diagnose with schizophrenia, or even a small private clinic and see for yourself why health care is a very important issue.  Grow a big garden and go around the world delivering food for free that will make you feel useful and it would save many people money.  Or go house from house to house delivering seeds for people to start growing their own garden.  Cheer up life is too short.

Hmm. Well actually I intend to deliver stacks of seedling trays of choice producers to the upcoming local tent city, but that sort of thing isn't the point of this post. This isn't even about me here. I'm concerned with the motivation of everyone else in the ways I've expressed concern. Peoples motivation in motivating people against the powers at be.

I haven't really been much of an activist in these types of movements. For the most part, no one seems to listen to what I have to say whether it be friends, or family. Aside from those who just arne't willing to listen, all we've been doing is talking about it anyway. We can spread the message around like a disease, but that won't change a thing if no actual action takes place... It seems more and more individuals are coming to light on the real intentions of the (shadow) government, but our numbers are still too small to actually do something radical AND succeed.

It all starts with the "disease", the virus of truth. But if there arent any hosts, then there cant be a pandemic; only endemic within the range of available hosts. I used to go to the Left to hear the hard truths about the system, and they always applauded most of my Bush material, but now I get messages from them spewing all the silly insults and such that are literally word for word what the neocon maniacs used to send me. These days you have to go to the right to hear all the nasties. The 'new' right has actually been fired up these days with Obama, but even if I or you try to reach out with them we're right where we started with the other 50% of those who attempt to pay attention hooked back into the matrix. Or at least thats the feeling I've been having most of this year. People were actually listening to the survivalist type stuff for a while, but now that unemployment has dropped one tenth of one percent in the last couple months theyre all back into American Idol. The point of survivalism is you dont start when you're already deeply into a survival situation, you start before, just like with the "New World Order". Preparedness is the only true survival.

Thanks, but sorry, but you missed the whole point. Everything I could ever say equals there being no difference between Bush, Obama, McCain, Giuliani, Hitlery and so on. Its a different personality, thats it. The people that put them there is all that matters (Federal Reserve / international central bankers, the Big Media, etc). The Neocon "Bush Regime" are very little different than the Neoliberal "Obama Regime". Bush did his part in enacting all of the levels of dictatorship that one would expect from the "right", and now Obama is finishing up with what you'd expect from the "left" in getting us at the bring of TOTAL dictatorship, aka Totalitarianism.

Perhaps your feeling defeated in this moment. I personally know many people doing (not just talking) things to actively change our world. It's not going to be great big things that make the change but as Mother Teresa said "little things with great love". Each individual that you reach information to makes a difference in the whole. If you think about how long the NWO has been working, planning, seeding, you can see that it is going to take some patience on our part to counter these meticulously planned moves. Keep in mind the masses are combating everything from poison in our food, water and air to media lies and slavery to the corporations. This is not to mention their own fears of knowing any amount of truth and the responsibility to do something about it. Not everyone has the courage to face a firing squad railing poetically in the end, but if you even reach one individual isn't it all worth it?

Yeah. Defeated would be a good word in terms of me finding it to be worthwhile do things like I used to. Like even looking above contemplating if I should even bother correcting all those typos. One of my last posts mentioned within it a notion of "Neo-Amish". To me research and actions to practice preparing for that isn't entirely futile. But the masses have once again gotten me to being pessimistic towards the idea of work towards preventing the need of such new cities in about a decade. 2 years ago I had dreams of affordable floating artificial islands as being the future of personal sovereignty, the only true sovereignty, perhaps in history, but now the economic scenario I knew was coming came years before I had hoped, and now it'd just be a bunch of damn elitist pricks able to afford them.

This seems a bit emo to me. Truthfully things like this always take time, and in a regime like we are in things will always trickle down.

I believe in Ron Paul, but I think that America is too blind and lost to accept him right now. People's eyes are opening up, slowly, but they are.

For instance at my college, a 9/11 truth commitee was established, and backed by the Dean earlier this year and has  had a very high turn out. To the point that during 9/11 they had a number of architects and physicists come in and explain exactly how 9/11, at least from their professional standpoint, was impossible without an outside influence.

They ended up having to move the lecture to the main theatre due to the massive turnout.

Essentially what I am trying to say, is that, though you might not be able to see it, things are changing, people's eyes are opening, and, eventually, something will be done. This however is completely impossible without people like you putting information that we might bypass normally into the public eye.

You were influencial in my initial readings, and had I not first started reading your Nanotech posts and posts regarding the NBIC initiative 4 years ago, I may very well have simply been another blind man. 

In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength. Don't lose faith.

Most of my energy this yea rhas gone into personal sustainability aka survivalist type stuff. Actual hands on stuff. School was always boring and pointless to me without any hands on. And I have a lot of stuff to post from actual experience, as well as ideas. My last little fit of blogging was mostly this. I guess back then I had already seen it as actually helping people in the current climate. I'm sure there's been plenty of things to post in terms of 'technological totalitarisnism', but to me it's just constant reconfirming what I've been saying all along. In terms of the political machinery, I realized that I'll now be doing a lot ot reposting of current neocon type anti-administration talking points. I guess that might have been troublesome to me. I mean I can add perspective, but it get stiring now constantly having to point ut how they're the same as if the 'other side' was in there. I used to always try to do that before Obama, but now with all the Obama Zombies its I realized that all the new people would only be listening because I'm bashing the other guy. The point is most only listened because they hated Bush, the other guy. But we should all look up perhaps, as now its easier than ever to point out how they the same. If only what I call Neocommunism hadnt changed the daily behavior patterns of some of us...

Before I read any of the comments, I want to throw my thoughts out there.  I think you have actually hit the nail on the head, whether you realize it or not.  I classify you into the self-educated and awoken category, in which you have been involved in a movement without the certainty, with the continuing skepticism and doubt, but most importantly, you have been involved in an altruistic effort to combat the ills of society by exposing these ills to the complacent, apathetic, and manipulated minds of the masses.  Your hope is to spark the fire in the minds of many in order to burn away the societal problems.

Well, here we are.  Years after this began for us (I say that because I believe you and I are near the same age and have had similar paths in this process).  This broader movement was manifested and found adequate representation within a presidential candidate.  We saw this as a climactic moment building up to the success of all our efforts, and we saw a possible ultimate triumph had he won the executive office.  Unfortunately, it wasn't even close.  Although we knew it was a long shot, and damn near impossible from the get go, we are disappointed.  Now, we see our movement in disarray. 

I attended a tea party in Mobile, Alabama on August 15th.  I met up with a few of the Ron Paul Meetup folks there, and listened as one of them expressed joy in joining with his local citizens on what he saw as the same intentions as our meeting in D.C. in July '08 for the Revolution March.  As he expressed this, I was confused.  I wanted to shake him and tell him that this was not the same...not even close.  Moments later, the speeches began.

In the following days, I had discourse through emails with that tea party event organizer.  He had sat next to me in U.S. Government class at the local university a few years earlier.  I knew he was a neocon then.  Nothing had changed.  They had hijacked us and some of them were so dumb they hadn't even realized it.

Today, people like us see through the bullshit.  We had our climax and now we have witnessed our decline in the hope and change that we truly continue to believe in.  I imagine most of us are extremely cynical and pessimistic at this point.  The economists we respect were calling it a recession and being lambasted for months prior to the "officials" and their talking heads' admission that it was indeed a recession.  Now, these same economists are telling us that we haven't seen the worst of it yet, while the talking heads are telling us things are on the rebound.

Sorry for the long comment, but basically my point is, we are preparing for the worst.  We are giving up hope on the continuing effort to open more minds.  It is still ongoing, but like you said, there is a perception that it is too late, and more devotion is being made to prepare ourselves and those we care about.  We fear the worst is upon us.

However, I see no reason to stop.  Perhaps we are wrong and it is not too late.  There is certainly a stirring in the American spirit going on, even if it is often misguided.  If we do not seek to guide it, it will only continue to be misguided.  The mass mind is a difficult thing to manage without the proper resources.  However, we have had an impact.  Only time will tell how significant it has been.

Thanks. You write better than I do. Half of the masses dont know it yet, but we all lost the election. The other half only think they did because Obama won instead of McCain. Most of what I used to call the "overall movement" was lost to the "election", and now perhaps they've been filled by the other side. Like teh comment below, when the pendulem hits the other side after 4 or 8 years you're back on the other side of the breakneck loop. It's just damn insulting to me. It's like understanding it more does more to make us realize how utterly helpless the mob is, than in helping us change the mob. Thats probably the real underlying point of this whole post. It's not to say there isnt any hope for anybody, but rather everybody.

Change is being made.  However, it's just not going in the direction in which you are pulling for.  Doesn't mean your efforts are in vein.  It just simply means that your efforts are wasted in the current form/forum.  Your friend base is a large amount of worker bees.  To include myself.  Since when do you know of anyone at the bottom being able to talk to and reason with (let alone) change the mind of someone at the top.  The needs of few outweigh the needs of many and unfortunatly we are the many.  

For example, lets just say that for some odd reason 9/11's schenanigans are proven, brought to light and laid on the table for all to see.  Then what?  People get pissed off and upset with bush and his gang?  Too late, we have a new President in office.  So people will just mosey on about thier business and it'll virtually affect no one.  Just a small few who because they are worker bees feel the need to jump out of the shadow of the queen bee and do a dance.  

I'm not a quick witted, i'm not as political, and i'm not too conservative either.  However, I do work for the Armed Forces and qith my current clearance I am and have been in positions to know "the truth" about some things and how to take action for and against it.  I say that to say this decisions are made on a very wide scale from people in whom the masses in which you're trying to sway pick.  These people believe in these individuals to make choices for all of us as a whole.  

Want people to change in your favor?  Then educate them on the importance of voting.  Selecting thier state and city assembly.  Thats where it all starts.  Not the "big vote" that's not where it's at. Then provide them with examples of whom you see fit to best exemplify your view on things and watch your project start to get off of the ground.   

Also you may seem to have lost sight of the grand scheme of things.  For every right wing political crazy, you've got a few more left wingers, for every extremist you've got conservitave cheer.  Checks and balances young man.  All the writing you do someone else is opposing it and has just as large a base as you do.  I'm sure by the way you write that you're quite the mathlete.   Do the math...

I personaly like your writing i agree sometimes, i disagree sometimes.  So consider me nuetral and not threatining or attacking you in any way shape or form.  I just want to voice my humble opinion and hopefully open your eyes up just a tiny bit as we all sometimes suffer from tunnel vision when we going balls to the wall in hopes of our dreams.  

Either way, take care of yourself and take some time to think about the grass that someone else is manicuring on the other side of your fence.  Some things are worth fighting for.  Some are not. I'm not saying give um i'm not saying to keep fighting, i will say this though.  Years come and go and when you look back to your past do you really want to say to yourself I wish I would've done this isntead of that, that instead of this.  Without the godliness of a message life really is short and there is so much more to the world than what you may see on your 17.1 inch laptop view.  Enjoy the remainder of your day and i wish nothing but the best for you either way you see fit to continue to move.

After reading the comments, I think most of them are correct.  You have had a significant impact.  Things have changed tremendously since this all began.  Those like yourself have multiplied exponentially.  In a way, you probably contributed to me creating a space devoted to my own research.  That profile now has about 30,000 views and the blog has about half that many.  I'm sure this one has more because you were extremely active awhile back with groundbreaking stuff for many of us.

I know you don't intend this to be really about you, but you are a microcosm of your concern about those others who you see as no longer being motivated.  This access to communication provides individuals with a tremendous impact that can potentially reach minds all over the world.  As an individual's message is transmitted to more people in the world, that message is exponentially transmitted in a multitude of ways.  I am saying this because as I read this blog, I felt as if you may have forgotten or lost sight on the impact you have had through your efforts.  We need people like you to stay focused and continue the good fight, no matter how hopeless it may seem.

Here is a message from a friend of mine yesterday, who I simply gave a link to your external site almost a year ago...

"A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production." --Robert Anton Wilson

Political pundits on the right are being used as pawns to make the left indifferent to legitimate concerns regarding the vast expansion of government and their abuse of power.

The sheeple in the left pasture are being led to associate legitimate, non-partisan grievances from pundits on the right as being solely Republican, "neo-con", racistly anti-Obama, and religiously fundamentalist. With an "either/or"- bipartisan mentality in congruence with a Machiavellian exploitation of group identity association dually comprising a socially engineered, corporately branded and marketed continuum effectively penetrating the subconscious of the left, the puppet masters behind the curtains effortlessly and smoothly herd them into pseudo-intellectual apologetics for otherwise—conspicuously corrupt elements of the Obama administration, the system-at-large, and its underlying globalist agenda for which it is hellbent on blazing a path to actualize a nano-bio-info-cogno convergence and a techno-bio/universal singularity capable of transcending time itself. When sufficiently fattened and deemed obsolete for the puppet masters' political agenda, the herd will be led to slaughter. The independents will have sufficiently warned them prior to this, but it will be too late.

The Sheeple in the pasture on the right are being herded by the political inverse of the aforementioned tactics for the same ulterior agenda. Moreover, pundits on the right are deceptively misconstruing legitimate concerns of independents such as the 9/11 truth movement to be inherently left-wing. Disinformation and distraction is the nature of corporate media.

An excerpt from Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley (President Clinton's history professor and mentor at Georgetown University)

"The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two
Congressional parties more national and more international. The argument that the two
parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right, and the
other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical so that the American people can 'throw
the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.
The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant
disagreement, but are disputable only in terms of procedure, priority and method..."

I implore you all to wake up to what is really happening to our country and to our world. Democrat vs Republican is not the nature of the puppet masters' game; it is one of collectivism vs individualism. Collectivism is essentially based upon the idea that three people have the right to tell two people what to do due to their numeric superiority; to hell with the inalienable rights of each individual. It is this mentality that is responsible for the vast majority of suffering in the world. History has shown that tyrants always exploit a collectivist system of government.

Individualists, in contrast, assert that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; and that these rights are intrinsic to each individual and cannot be violated, no matter the numeric superiority of the opposing faction. True liberty, prosperity, security, and morality is exclusive to individualism.


You have had a significant impact.  Every single day, there are thousands more being exposed to the harsh realities that Americans have denied for far too long.  Do not give up hope now.  The American people are restless and waking up to the false paradigm.  We are on the brink of something.  As JFK said, a revolution is coming.  We cannot alter its inevitability, only its character.

Namaste!

What you are observing, is the very reason we have a two-party dictatorship, and not one. The people who thought they were against the New World Order were really just against a puppet, Bush. Now that "their guy" is on office, there is nothing to worry about. What we are seeing is the swinging of the pendulum. The previous group's numbers are dropping fast.
Now we have this new group, who think they may be against Big Brother and Big Government, but they are really just against another puppet, Obama. If Obama or any other democrat stays in office for another four years after this term, we could see the anti-NWO sentiment rise as high as it was in 2008. When it gets too hot for comfort, they (we know who they are) will let a Republican get the Presidency, and the pendulum will swing again, and some other authentic anti-NWO being will feel discouraged by the sudden disappearance from "the movement."
It works so well, does it not?

This. This has been me lately, and my husband. There was so much energy last year, so much hope, and then........ I admit intentionally "dropping out" for a while after last year's election because I just couldn't take any more politics for a while. I was losing track of reality and community. And it's been so hard to "lift the banner" again because of exactly what McFoxx pointed out.

And yet... people whose ears had been closed to my message have awoken to it from someone else's mouth. One of my family members is now the one calling ME to tell me about whatever political issue, forgetting (because she didn't want to listen back then) that I had tried to tell her about it years ago! It's frustrating but also beautiful, and her enthusiasm is catching. Even though some of us are tired, the message is spreading, however slowly. Will it be enough? I don't know. But I have to know that I tried, anyway.

i didn't read the other comments simply b/c i didn't want to take the time but i do have a thought.  i think there are plenty of people who (would) great(ly) appreciate your message but have grown weary of myspace and the media in general and have decided to go their own way.  the route these INDIVIDUALS are taking is unpredictable and i like to believe, exciting.  perhaps they too are spending free time in the survivalist realm or taking steps to protect their portfolio.  the possibilities are endless and these wise people must continue the hussle in the form of an everyday job...family...etc.

anyhow, your effect may not be witnessed directly on blowspace but has nonetheless been necessary.  i know it.

ur healthcare point is brilliant.  people are so easily side-tracked;  it's a challenge to believe the efforts are worth it.  let (some) people reside with their heads-up-their-asses.  there will ALWAYS be folks looking for a better way.

You know, you were actually one of the first peoples information I started reading. Since then, I have expanded in quite a few other areas as well. Currently (and ironically) its natural health and the conspiracy against Americans health here on the home front. The whole swine flu blown out of proportion thing etc. I have to be honest though, working full time, being a husband and an attentive father does leave very little time to read constantly like I used to. Now, I'm lucky to get perhaps a hour or two every couple days. (I'm sure you already know that is hardly enough time) For me it isn't a lack of caring, but along with more responsibilities comes the same realization your going through now. I really do think we are all fucked, sorry to say it. There aren't enough people focused on the same things to stop anything. It isn't even that there aren't enough people to care, but there is SO MUCH going on in all facets of our government that it really is almost impossible to be fully knowledgeable on all fronts. Then there are people like myself. I read a lot, but the times of cramming well into 3 or 4am are gone for me. full time work and family has kinda taken place along the priority list. I really hope you don't stay discouraged man, you do have some really good work. No pep talk from me, just sayings I understand where your coming from. You have made yourself into a leader in one of the informational areas though. Losing you would be a pretty big blow to a lot of people. There is for sure nothing wrong with taking some time out from researching and having some fun just remember that. Hope ya work through it man, good luck. (i totally feel ya on the computer hardware too, god i want to upgrade so bad)

Perhaps it's by Design that we're all tired and numb. There are fractions and people making enemies out of their closest comrades in the same community circles that each believes so strongly in. I believe Forces that we can only feel are pulling us in the direction in which we need to go. The question is, maybe we are we supposed to surrender? Will fighting the inevitable just prolong all of this misery, the hole that we have in our souls?

Sidenote, that we do appreciate all of your hard work and the questions that you raise to make us all think!

2012 IS right around the corner! Our systems must crumble for rebirth.

We the People Festival is Rescheduled for 2010

 
The dumbing down of America has worked.   It is evident in most teenagers, kids thse days only read one line text message slang that uses both upper and lower case letters. It's frustrating as hell but there are a few that actually care.. the youth of America is not yet brain dead. Don't get discouraged, you never know.. one of your readers may be a future revolutionist.

Looking back on the nineties as someone who lived during that time...it looked like they couldn't win.

It really looked like protest and activism were going to change things.

All it did was show the powers that be how to get away with things. The popullii has spoken, and they have said "Give us television and bullshit! We do not fucking care!"

MY COMMENTS ON YOUR WORDS:
Real terrorists and terrorism exist in the world with their tyrannical ideology and its big threat to civilized world and freedom...Bush left the office ,but terrorists  still exist with thier ugly movtives.
Its time to realize the challenges, and cope with tht menace of terrorism and extremism in the world.
Its the only way which guarentee to progress and peace.
YOUR WORDS In the world of the fringe, 9/11 truthers still hate me because I dont adhere to Loose Change 2nd Edition, and the "Skeptics" hate me because I still demonstrate a "conspiracy".

Well, I shall say well said, and I agree fully. I have noticed myself the momentum on a downward slide...you can just feel it. And yes I think most of it has to do with the healthcare distraction. To me, personally, healthcare is a non issue, and I still hold strong to the point that, how dare the government meddle in such personal issues as our healthcare. Its ludicrous...to ask those who boldly announce their wishes to exterminate you to implement sound healthcare is obscene. Its insane. And thus the wheel keeps spinning, and the poor (everyone) beg to be taken care of, when the system built around them which is parasitic and built on death, calmly rolls out a plan to keep all healthy. Your mind aint the only one thats boggled...
I have hope that people will not succumb to being slammed in shackles, and that the self sustaining nessecities that you speak of will finally be embraced, once no other choice is available. Im still pissed that Ron Paul isnt more vocal, and Im still pissed that the Alex Jones films, and films of the like, arent showing frame after frame of sideways smoke plumes blown out of the falling buildings, in sequential and timed fashion, exhibiting absolute proof that the buildings had help in falling to the ground. Visual evidence of explosive detonations set off in a timed manner to faciltate the falling of all THREE buildings should be all that were focusing on, lets not forget, 911 is why were in the shithole were in, right? Well, atleast, in the blind public eye, it would seem. Never the less, I'd like to see ROn Paul go on tv, or infront of his peers, and simplky ask... "What are these puffs of smoke?"

Cheers.

Well the juggling of these two political parties have been doing to us Americans is having tremendous effect on on everyones sanity and effecting the world's ecomony. Everyones feeling it one way or another, I know I have. At least the 60's had a counter culture, most of em with their own agenda but all marching because of various things they didnt agree with as a whole..The Civil Rights movement, ect. These days they truly like to trap you into one of two boxes "swaying the moderates and indies" to make a a decision to be shot in the left foot or right foot. You know I started to get a funny idea about the world when I started to believe in something other than myself..than my material objects...my cable TV...it was a thought for myself. Then you showed me where to open that door...3-4 yrs ago. I read & watched with an open mind. I know I have felt some backlash from what I have tried to tell people or do. . .to most of my "friends" and ex-gf I came off as a wierdo who was not a cool guy who did not threw everything away to fit a glorifed image, and then my family just thought I was on drugs agian or did not want to believe anything. This world might not ever change, but there are people worth saving in it even If you dont know them personally. Do what you will man, somebody will pick up where you left off. good luck either way. . .

Good old problem reaction solution in effect. People have of course always been apathetic etc. and I agree it was turning around and I believe it still is (knowledge is power) however when it comes to actions we are lacking. I think mostly for two resosn

1) Not many actions exist that actually make a difference, They have isolated each thing well enough so that even protests must be held in 'speech free' zones. The news keeps you ignorant more than ever now and relishes in public debate over inconsequential choices. This of course breeds apathy and ignorance.

2) More importantly is time and resources. With the economy continuing to fall, more and more people are spending their time trying to figure out how to keep their job, get a new job, find customers, help family etc. etc. This consumes most all of your time and leaves nothing for actions. Kids in school, health problems on the rise. Basically lack of stability/income/time is becoming more of an issue as things get worse.


Just as a general tip, whenever I start feeling down and feel nothing is getting anywhere. I generally go to a protest/action and find that there are people there and the crowd response in public gatherings is good enough to make me realize that my impression of 'nothing happening' is based completely on not SEEING anything happen... which is basically a media manipulation. if you see less on the news, less on hannity etc. about it, you start to feel its forgotten. When you see yourself not getting out due to inability, or you see others 'dropping out' it makes you feel the group has gotten smaller, when in reality somewhere there are people also joining the fight. I get emails on a random occasion from people who saw my website and because informed, this makes me feel good and understand there are still  a LOT of people just getting their feet wet.

I think it is further gone in the USA than here in Britain but we are not far behind. Most people I see in the streets are robots or mindless zombies. I have always looked behind and around things but to be honest even though I have more of a clue than most I feel powerless to fight against it. All I do is spread a little love to those around me and its a nice suprise to get a smile back. Love + peace
