Had a discussion with Jim
http://anaverageamericanpatriot.blogspot.com/
the other day and that's what he replied:
"Sarah, Bush was having meetings with the Taliban in Crawford and in the White House, when they finally refused the pipeline 10 days later 9/11 "happened" and Bush attacked them as promised."
Can't say that he's wrong , nor that it's the first time that I've heard this. But the real reasons lie deeper than that.
The endgame is not at all about some fossil fuel which nobody really wants, nor needs... but about the eternal issue as to how a tiny percentage of us can get all the rest under complete control!
Alright, I admit, here and now they're making big bucks on anything filthy, the war in the middle east has bankrupted the States, but made Bush and his administration even richer, since they've just got their sticky fingers on anything dirty - from oil, over weapons to pharma industry.
But while you grieve about what weapons can do, imagine what an invisible conquest over human rights would do to each and everyone of us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's alright, what has happened so far. Neither am I excusing or justifying anything. But I am very much pointing to their real enterprise and their ultimate reason for doing so.
While wars are on, journalists got unlimited access to everything in theater, rumors are getting spread, quarrels and upsets created through misrepresentation - with the casualties not only being the wounded and dead on the battlefield, but most of all the truth, which has died right in the beginning... Well would you agree that such a scenery creates a wonderful hazy maze in which they can hide anything they want to? And then there is this wonderful tool called "fear" that you use to scare the public with. - Get them bit by bit to agree with all the dangers until we finally have cameras on every street corner, satellites zooming in the most remote places, mobile phone, internet traffic and just about anything you can imagine under surveillance.
Passports will soon consist of a simple, tiny microchip under our skin, including medical and criminal records, of course, and any sort of black listing...
But the best thing is the medical control. There where people are asking for help, they're really easy to control. Have all kids scanned for mental and physical risks and enforce prophylactic treatment until they almost drop dead but are still alive enough to be held hostage a whole life long!
Education is meant to set people free. But no freedom can occur through enforced ideas and when freedom of speech isn't also a social right, that will be recognized and its practice be tolerated everywhere in society. Education has in fact hardly ever been something that did set people free. Of course you could to some degree gain economical freedom, by swallowing approved BS until they would let you have your degree, BUT unless you had signed up for parrot-school this isn't an education that's worth anything, because it didn't leave room for the individual to come up with his own realizations and ideas. So all that long education-business that's going on now, creates long-term slaves, that are kept in a cornered position, off the market and in a low financial condition. In other words these people can not really cause anything, because their lack of time and funding doesn't allow it, they're pretty much effect, plus they have to formally agree with a huge amount of data which doesn't make sense, but which they have to learn by heart in order to get out of the trap. I don't know about you folks, but to me this is both brain wash, extortion and deprivation of freedom.
Anyway, as for oil, who does really need it?! Well alright the Bushies do still want to make a buck or two on it, since their greed knows no end, but anyone who's ever heard what hydrogen or even solar and wind energy can do, knows that these are not only cleaner and safer alternatives, but that technology has already advanced that much that we could solve all our energy problems with them - Today!
Here is an e-mail which I received this morning and if you wonder what you can do to stop a slave state from coming into existence, read what comes after it:
Federal Health Bill Pushes Psycho/Pharmaceutical Agenda, Could Come to a Vote This Week
To find your Representative and get their contact information, go to:
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt (enter your zip code).
The Mothers Act
You are probably familiar with the Mothers Act. It expands treatment for postpartum conditions. It also calls for the development of "improved screening and diagnostic techniques" while failing to ensure those charged with the development of these techniques are free from conflicts of interest. We've all heard of Andrea Yates, the mother who after taking a combination of antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, drowned her kids. The last thing we want is legislation that creates a whole new generation of such tragedies. (Section 2529, Page 1418)
Mental Health Parity
This makes your insurance pay for psychiatric disorders on a par with physical illnesses. Imagine having the same coverage for inpatient psych hospitalization as you do for cancer. Psychiatric patients are traditionally "cured" when the insurance money runs out. Under this bill, it would never run out. The bill could potentially cover all 374 disorders in psychiatry's billing bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It could cover everything from hyper-religiosity to arithmetic disorder. (Section 214, Page 100)
School Based Health Clinics
The bill includes funding for School Based Health Clinics that will include subjective psychiatric mental health screening (called mental health assessments) of children, and "referral to a continuum of services including emergency psychiatric care, community support programs, inpatient care, and outpatient programs" as part of their "comprehensive primary health services." This is a direct feeder line from our schools to the psycho/pharmaceutical industry. (Section 2511, Page 1352)
It's obvious that the psycho/pharmaceutical agenda is at full play in this bill.
House leaders could be bringing the bill up for a vote
as early as this Friday, in hopes of passing the bill
before the November 11, Veterans Day holiday.

A haze Sarah, you said it. I posted on it numerous times. the haze of war, all of this, we are kept confused so these SOB's can sneak their crap through!
The government doesn't really need a health care system to control us and know everything about us. As you noted the Bush era put the finishing touches on the foundation of American Fascism.
They destroyed our Constitutional rights and and have already asserted unlimited power, especially in this ongoing "state of emergency" in their War of Terror.
The surveillance structure of a national security police state is in place.
As far as health care goes, we are damned to corporate/government controlled health care if the Bill passes and damned to corporate control of health care if it does not.
As you say the best alternative is to take the sensible care to avoid the medi-pharma insurance complex in the first place.
And getting back to oil. It is merely the lubricant to the force of power for the rulers.
Interesting, I was already missing your posts and wondering where you were. I agree that the surveillance and control in US is quite scary (living in Finland myself). I also worry about terrorism but it's not gonna end if we refuse to think about this planet as a whole. Fighting over oil is so short-sighted - oil only destroys the atmosphere and oceans (in the form of plastic). World leaders just want their power and money and little people suffer and fear and lose their planet on the side.
Thank God we have Obama! I'm not religious but I honestly think that Obama was sent by God or Aliens or whatever the supreme race that worries about our planet getting blown up...
Hi Sara,
The picture painted is true about the "gubbmint".... and the story about the "department of energy" sounds like an expensive joke...
They also have a department that prints banknotes...
Details of the department are not generally available on the internet..... maybe the "gubbmint" is hiding something?
We've allowed the "gubbmint" be taken over by an ongoing criminal consprisacy who tell you how bad "gubbmint" is and proceed to enlarge it by leaps and bounds. Privatization was an excuse for cronnie contracts at four to eight times the cost. When Carter created the DOE it was supposed to jump start solar projects. As soon as Reagan came in he got rid of everything useful the DOE did do and increased its budget to funnel money to his corporate contributors. You either have a police force patroling the streets under the supervision of democratically elected officials or you have street gangs. Public campaign financing and a ban on former government officials or employes from ever being paid to work for lobbyists would go a long ways toward cleaning up government. About a quarter to a third of Democrats are really Republicans and this has given them a functional majority for forty years. Blue Dog Democrats are worse than Republicans since you might think they are looking out for us. This will only change when at least a third of the people realize what needs to be done. Unfortunatly most people believe the anti "gubbmint" nonsense and turn their "gubbmint" over to the very people who "gubbmint" should be putting in prison.
Jim have you read Naomi Kline's "Shock Doctrine"? She speaks of the fear that besets folks when there is chaos, be it natural or manmade. She gives background and history around the world of how capitalists have been able to use tradgedies to push thru an agenda the public would never allow without the chaos.
I have so many venemous feelings re. bushies that its hard to address them without stiring up lots of anger. Remember when the Clintons spoke of a vast rightwing conspiracy and how they were ridiculed? Well, seems that rightwing movement very definitely existed and still does, although greatly weakened, thank God(approx. 1% of Americans are Fox "news" watchers, that world famous media outlet owned by the rightwing nuts). I am not even clear why we fret about fox(except to clear up lies) I was stunned when I learned the rightwingers actually see themselves as THE superior race, as well as being ordained by God to lead all the rest of we peons...I was stunned to learn we have a secret religious cult on C Street(or wherever they are now)made up of legislators who feel divine and wise, so they must decide what is best for all of us who can't possibly think for ourselves.
We have been a very lazy and neglectful caretakers of our country...we trusted, we believed...we were lead by the nose, cause anything else would require that we actually have to put down our toys and do something...well, as with most families, if you don't do your job early with your children, you are going to have your handsful come adolescence!! Now its catch up time and I sometimes feel that the wealthy crooks have such a grip, the sleeping giant may have awakened to late...but the eternal optimist in me won't let me accept defeat...maybe you could talk me down!
I like what you have to say here about our rights at risk, but you couldn't be more wrong when you suggest no one wants or needs oil. Light crude is the lifeblood of the global economy. Solar and other renewables will not refine to make medicines and nitrogen-based fertilizers and insecticides, will not power combustible engines, will not pave roads or produce tires and plastics. Mankind will definitely need to power way down as access to cheap fossil fuels wane, but to pretend "no one needs" oil right now really compromised your rant above on a mind-boggling array of levels.
Yes, Jim, as usual, we agree. Just so frustrating that such a tiny percentage of mankind can enforce their sick agenda on everyone. So stupid, that we allow them to get away with it!!!
Thanks Dave for commenting! It's nice to see you here, since I do find your posts and your comments very well thought through. You're right, they don't need a health care system to control us, they're doing pretty well without that... however I have seen during the cold war and also in general in society, just how well this works!
The truth is if people just lived healthy and stayed away from doctors, they could live long and healthy lives, but right now almost everybody gets medical care and slowly dies of it! That's not how things should be! People are miserable and pay huge amounts for crap that harms them!
I also would agree with you: you're dammed with private health insurance and damned without it... you've said it perfectly!
So there's only one thing to do: boycott the quacks and the entire industry and take care of yourself! But you've already said that as well...!
Thanks Annie! Missed you, too!
I have to confess, I'm not at all worried about terrorists, they really don't scare me one bit.
What does scare me is the money behind the world leaders, those who tell the puppets what to do...!
Landsker, thanks for visiting! you're a Brit, too, aren't you? My family is British, too...
Yep, expensive joke! You're very right!
Prairie2, thanks for your wise words!
Feel the same way about privatization! And it seems to be like this everywhere: find a supplier who does the work fast and sloppy for at least double the price without taking any long-term responsibility! And then usually the a-hole who had been in charge of finding the contractor will earn big bucks in some way or another on it, either by being the chairman or by giving it to his people or simply by his shares going up... And by some kind of magic way, it's all perfectly legal... hm, just so strange how they always get the law to protect their sick interests...
But as one of them said: laws are rules made by people, they can easily be changed.
There's unfortunately also a lot of truth in the rest of your comment... wish there wasn't!
Hey Sharon, who wants to talk you down? Just keep on going...!
Interesting what you and Jim and others say about Fox... reminds me so much of how the media was controlled in the communist states during the cold war. but then again, i had no idea, that we were controlled by the CIA...
oops!
Unfortunately you're also so right about right wing nuts...
Neglectful caretakers... yeah we really need to take more responsibility for ourselves and our surroundings in order to improve the conditions! You're pretty much on spot there!
Guy Fawkes, nice to see you! Do you have a blog?
Your comment is very interesting, because obviously you do have a very valid point. The thing is just... it makes me realize just how different our life is to normal people's lives!
You're right, the average person, especial the average consumer in the western world!, is very much depended on oil. even though we still use tires, PCs etc. here in our family - so we do need a tiny bit of oil... we are in fact living a life much more independent and sustainable than a normal citizen and we're not even red-green freaks! We're just trying to protect our health and our finances!!!
Do you know Hulda Clark's health books? There you read just what oil can do to you, so you really do have an interests in avoiding chemicals, medicines and other oil-based products as much as you can.
And I have to tell you, I anyway am not much for fertilizers and insecticides - great, if we don't have any oil for those anymore!!!
But you're right there are a few things left, that one still needs oil for. But if we used all other resources, the oil would last for a long, long time.
And as far as medication is concerned: There your comment also make me realize once again, just how different we are! When I read how many people hospitals treat every year...! it's just amazing that people voluntarily receive that treatment and let their bodies deteriorate to such a degree that they at all need the help of someone else! As far as I am concerned, very few medications are at all necessary. Most treatments and medicines are at the best useless, but usually it's worse than that: they kill the patient slowly! So basically what almost every chronic patient needs is a good de-tox and to pull himself together and reach a mental state where he wishes to take responsibility for his own health, his own life and his surroundings and then he'll be fine. consulting doctors and taking their drugs is just the way down, fast lane into the grave - for the individual, as well as for society!
Hi Sarah. S,
How`s yourself... all good I hope ?
Yes, I grew up in Wales, but left at 16, joined the merchant fleet,as a seaman, later changed to fishing.. moved to Spain, a few other places, then Ireland .....each time I moved, nationality became less important than finding work and a place to live!
As for doctors, sometimes, some people need them I guess, but certainly, many of them have become salesmen for the pharmaceutical companies, like dope-dealers, always trying to sell some new drug, never concerned about addictions or side-effects, or even costs... as long as they get their cash.
