Of Mice And Men


I keep reading about what's going on in the world at this key time in its history, and people continue to amaze me in their nearsightedness.  

Example.

America's current federal government - well on its way to fashioning a totalitarian state on the populace, of former freemen, self-governing sovereigns, who lost sight of their responsibility as self-governing sovereigns, and deeded the job over to the state - had, as one of the advisers to the Executive (sitting prettily and cockily on his perch at its executive branch), an 'academic' - which is supposed to mean a learned gentleman or -woman - who has written several books on politics/the political scene, in one of which he "argues that citizens' rights exist only to the extent that they are granted by the government".1  Pure atheistic totalitarian nonsense.  

And people get away with such drivel…

Do you really think so little of yourselves, and the majestic Creator of all the universes and all of their levels, that you think that you live and you die and that's it??  That we live in order to eat and sleep, rather than the other way around???…2

And where did you people ever get the idea that 'the government' would look after you, in the sense of providing for you?  'The government' has no money of its own.  All it has in the way of money is confiscated (and built on) from its people - or borrowed, from people eager for a bargain, or from other countries, who are stupid enough to loan to the government when its debt has climbed to the astronomical extent that it has in the U.S.  'But no worries - the people, and their children, and grandchildren, and their children, and grandchildren, are good for it.'  Oh really??  Well, I have news for some people:You can take your cynical and corrupt Ponzi scheme3 and shove it up where the sun don't shine; because it is the dawning of a new day.

Not only for America, and Americans - as I say (and reiterate, for a purpose: of drumming it into their heads), of freemen and -women; not subjects, to a class of booted and spurred overlords, riding them for all they're worth, and then some.  No; it's a new day not just for (sorely put-upon) Americans.  But for all of humanity.  Free at last; from perfidious parasites, living in their mighty and gated towers, off of the earnings of their former peasant slaves, taken in by a monetary system that is a form of enslavement.

Do you hear that, you petty tyrants?  Your day is done.  It's the time of a New Era - and more:  a New Dispensation totally.  Of a world without money.  Because life has meaning, beyond just in and of itself only; and we are verging on going up, in consciousness (those who are ready) to another - the next - level of the reality of that meaning. 

But first things first: the transition stage.  Wherein we throw out the old.

And its acolytes; its servants of its Most High.

About to take a great fall.

And draw an end to the Great Fall itself.

--

P.S. Are you a wee timorous beastie?  Or are you a Man??
     If the latter: Start living up to it.  And stop this atheistic totalitarian nonsense - this laughable parody of the use of intelligence - in its tracks.
     While you still can.

better push back on this...

Did you know that the Obama administration is negotiating a super secret "trade agreement" that is so sensitive that he isn't even allowing members of Congress to see it?  The Trans-Pacific Partnership is being called the "NAFTA of the Pacific" and "NAFTA on steroids", but the truth is that it is so much more than just a trade agreement.  This treaty has 29 chapters, but only 5 of them have to do with trade.  Most Americans don't realize this, but this treaty will fundamentally change our laws regarding Internet freedom, health care, the trading of derivatives, copyright issues, food safety, environmental standards, civil liberties and so much more.  It will also merge the United States far more deeply into the emerging one world economic system.  Initially, twelve nations will be a party to this treaty including the United States, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.  Together, those nations represent approximately 40 percent of global GDP.  It is hoped that additional nations such as the Philippines, Thailand and Colombia will join the treaty later on. 
There are some very good reasons why Obama does not want the American people to know anything about what is in this treaty.  This agreement will impose very strict Internet copyright rules on the American people, it will ban all "Buy American" laws, it will give Wall Street banks much more freedom to trade risky derivatives and it will force even more domestic manufacturing offshore. 
It contains a whole host of things that Obama would be unable to get through Congress on his own.  But he is hoping to spring this on Congress at the last minute and get them to agree to this "free trade agreement" before they realize all of the things that are contained in it. 
The secrecy surrounding these treaty negotiations have really been unprecedented.  The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Kurt Nimmo... 
"Since the beginning of the TPP negotiations, the process of drafting and negotiating the treaty's chapters has been shrouded in an unprecedented level of secrecy," Wikileaks notes in a statement on the release of the TPP draft. "Access to drafts of the TPP chapters is shielded from the general public. Members of the US Congress are only able to view selected portions of treaty-related documents in highly restrictive conditions and under strict supervision. It has been previously revealed that only three individuals in each TPP nation have access to the full text of the agreement, while 600 'trade advisers' - lobbyists guarding the interests of large US corporations such as Chevron, Halliburton, Monsanto and Walmart - are granted privileged access to crucial sections of the treaty text." 
And Obama reportedly is seeking "trade promotion authority" which would give him the ability to sign this treaty before Congress even votes on it... 
Normally free -trade agreements must be authorized by a majority of the House and Senate, usually in lengthy proceedings. 
However, the White House is seeking what is known as "trade promotion authority" which would fast track approval of the TPP by requiring Congress to vote on the likely lengthy trade agreement within 90 days and without any amendments. 
The authority also allows Obama to sign the agreement before Congress even has a chance to vote on it, with lawmakers getting only a quick post-facto vote. 
This is so insidious that it is hard to find the words to describe it. 
In essence, Obama is trying to make a giant end run around Congress on dozens of different issues that are addressed by this treaty.
Fortunately, there are at least some members of Congress that are waking up to this.  Earlier this week, a small group of Republicans and a small group of Democrats both sent Obama a letter condemning this "free trade" agreement... 
Separate groups of House Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday condemned the Obama administration's proposed sweeping free trade agreement with 11 Pacific nations, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. 
Strongly worded letters to President Barack Obama Tuesday were signed by hardline tea partiers, true-blue progressives, and moderate, corporate-friendly lawmakers in both parties, indicating political trouble for a trade deal the administration had hoped to seal by year end.

This is one of the most important political issues facing our nation here at the end of 2013, and yet you hear next to nothing about this treaty on the mainstream news.  If this treaty is approved, the United States will be permanently bound by the provisions of this treaty and will never be able to change them unless all of the other countries agree... 
Countries would be obliged to conform all their domestic laws and regulations to the TPP's rules-in effect, a corporate coup d'?tat. The proposed pact would limit even how governments can spend their tax dollars. Buy America and other Buy Local procurement preferences that invest in the US economy would be banned, and "sweat-free," human rights or environmental conditions on government contracts could be challenged. If the TPP comes to fruition, its retrograde rules could be altered only if all countries agreed, regardless of domestic election outcomes or changes in public opinion. And unlike much domestic legislation, the TPP would have no expiration date.

Are you starting to understand just how dangerous this treaty is? 
Let me give you just one example of how this treaty could directly affect you. 
Do you remember SOPA? 
There was a huge public backlash when the very strict Internet copyright provisions of SOPA were revealed to the public, and the American people loudly expressed their displeasure to members of Congress. 
But now the provisions of SOPA are back.  Most of them have reportedly been very quietly inserted into this treaty.  If this treaty is enacted, those provisions will become law and the American people will not be able to do a thing about it.

And according to an article in the New York Times, there are all sorts of other disturbing things that have been slipped into this treaty... 
And yet another leak revealed that the deal would include even more expansive incentives to relocate domestic manufacturing offshore than were included in Nafta - a deal that drained millions of manufacturing jobs from the American economy. 
The agreement would also be a boon for Wall Street and its campaign to water down regulations put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. Among other things, it would practically forbid bans on risky financial products, including the toxic derivatives that helped cause the crisis in the first place.
Are you starting to grasp why the Obama administration is so determined to keep this treaty such a secret? 
In addition, this "free trade" agreement will push the ongoing deindustrialization of America into overdrive.  Every year, we buy hundreds of billions of dollars more stuff from the rest of the world than they buy from us.  Tens of thousands of American businesses have been lost as a result, and millions of good jobs have been shipped overseas. 
If you are not familiar with our "trade deficit", you really should be.  It is one of the issues at the very heart of our economic problems.  Posted below is a short 3 minute video that briefly discusses the trade deficit and why it is so important...
Slowly merging our economy with the rest of the planet has been absolutely disastrous for America.  Just consider the following statistics... 
-Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975. 
-The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. 
-Back in the year 2000, there were more than 17 million Americans working in manufacturing.  Now there are less than 12 million. 
-There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then. 
-Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. 
-When NAFTA was pushed through Congress in 1993, the United States had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars.  By 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars.

-Back in 1985, our trade deficit with China was approximately 6 million dollars (million with a little "m") for the entire year.  In 2012, our trade deficit with China was 315 billion dollars.  That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. 
-According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. 
-According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades if current trends continue. 
Once upon a time, our great manufacturing cities were the envy of the entire planet.  In fact, at one time Detroit actually had the highest per capita income in the United States. 
But now Detroit is a rotting, decaying, festering hellhole that is completely bankrupt.  And there are dozens of other formerly great manufacturing cities that are heading down the exact same path. 
These "free trade" agreements are neither "free" nor "fair" when you really examine them, and they are absolutely eviscerating the middle class. 
Please urge your representatives in Congress to block the Trans-Pacific Partnership.  If this treaty does get approved, it is going to make a lot of our problems a whole lot worse.

       Good clear and concise summary, Carl; thanks.
  • And just so is America going to become a nice, docile member of the New World Order, to be grateful for any scraps that the multinational corporatists and international bankers throw its way...
        …not.  

        Hear it loud and clear, you NWO lot:

You've mentioned the key issue: The People need to rise up in each state and demand a complete cleaning of the voting process - photo voter ID, the rolls cleansed of dead-people voters, illegal names in general, absentee ballot fraud, multiple voters, and back to paper ballots, for a clear paper trail - and no more poll watchers being chased out of polling places by thugs.  

The voting process in this country is appalling.  More voters in a district than there are eligible voters in it??  Ridiculous.  And the law is that would-be citizens need to learn the English language before they become citizens, capable of voting - what's all this business about numerous languages being catered for at the polls & in voting info???  We MUST clean up the voting scene in the country.  Or it will be stolen from under our noses.  Our too-busy-to-bother noses.

WE THE PEOPLE have but one choice and that is to OUTVOTE our socialist STUPID welfare drawing GREAT UNWASHED by flooding the polls in the next election to take out all of the present "Progressive Socialists" (COMMUNISTS) in the Senate and the back stabbing "Rhinos" in the house! WE MUST DEFEAT THEM BY OUR MASSIVE VOTE! Stop griping and START VOTING!

  • It is futile to vote if you don't clean up the voting process first.  Why aren't the Republicans and the Tea Party organizations etc. spearheading major drives in each state to do that??  Force by clamoring and persistent public demand their State to: require photo voter ID; eliminate dead-people voting, multiple voting (via better voter ID laws), absentee ballot fraud, illegal names on the voting rolls; and go back to paper ballots, with a clear paper trail.  (Enough evidence is in by now to know that these machines are too easily programmed for false results.)
  • We have to get serious about this, folks.  It's an embarrassment that in the leading democratic nation in the world, our voting system has been allowed to get so compromised.  Even if it takes resorting to third-world-country purple dye on voters' index fingers, WE NEED TO CLEAN UP THE VOTING ACT IN THIS COUNTRY.  Or we will NEVER get justice, that way.

  • I just now found something that creeps me to my socks. Remember when they talked about presidential candidates Kerry & Bush both being Skull & Bones from Yale?
  • I'm reading Anthony [sic; it's Antony] Sutton's book on Skull & Bones from 1983. Here's what I found so far:


  •  "This disastrous, destructive philosophy, the source of both Naziism and Marxism, has infected and corrupted our constitutional republic. Much of the blame for this corruption is with an elitist group of Yalie "Bonesmen." Their symbol of Skull and Bones, and their Hegelian philosophy, says it all, although with typical duplicity, they would have you believe otherwise. Hegelianism glorifies the State, the vehicle for the dissemination of statist and materialist ideas and policies in education, science, politics and economics.

  • Wonder why we have a "dumbed-down" society? Look no further than the Bonesman troika who imported the Prussian education system into the U.S. in the 19`h  Century. A political philosophy in direct opposition to the classical liberalism nurtured in 19`h  Century British and American history. In classical liberalism, the State is always subordinate to the individual. In Hegelian Statism, as we see in Naziism and Marxism, the State is supreme, and the individual exists only to serve the State. Our two-parry Republican-Democrat (= one Hegelian party, no one else welcome or allowed) system is a reflection of this Hegelianism. A small group - a very small group - by using Hegel, can manipulate, and to some extent, control society for its own purposes."

    "Right and Left - A Control Device

  • For Hegelians, the State is almighty, and seen as "the march of God on earth." Indeed, a State religion. Progress in the Hegelian State is through contrived conflict: the clash of opposites makes for progress. If you can control the opposites, you dominate the nature of the outcome.
    We trace the extraordinary Skull and Bones influence in a major Hegelian conflict: Naziism vs.
    Communism. Skull and Bones members were in the dominant decision-making positions - Bush, Harriman, Stimson, Lovett, and so on - all Bonesmen, and instrumental in guiding the conflict through use of "right" and "left." They financed and encouraged the growths of both philosophies and controlled the outcome to a significant extent. This was aided by the "reductionist" division in science, the opposite of historical "wholeness." By dividing science and learning into narrower and narrower segments, it became easier to control the whole through the parts."

    page 14

    "How can there exist a common objective when members are apparently acting in opposition to one another? Probably the most difficult task in this work will be to get across to the reader what is really an elementary observation: that the objective of The Order is neither "left" nor "right." "Left" and "right" are artificial devices to bring about change, and the extremes of political left and political right are vital elements in a process of controlled change.

    The answer to this seeming political puzzle lies in Hegelian logic. Remember that both Marx and Hitler, the extremes of "left" and "right" presented as textbook enemies, evolved out of the same philosophical system: Hegelianism. That brings screams of intellectual anguish from Marxists and Nazis, but is well known to any  student of political systems.

    The dialectical process did not originate with Marx as Marxists claim, but with Fichte and Hegel in late 18th and early 19th century Germany. In the dialectical process a clash of opposites brings about a synthesis. For example, a clash of political left and political right brings about another political system, a synthesis of the two, neither left nor right. This conflict of opposites is essential to bring about change. Today this process can be identified in the literature of the Trilateral Commission where "change" is promoted and "conflict management" is termed the means to bring about this change."

    Does the word "change" ring any red flag "Holy Mother of God" bells? Remember, this is published in 1983.

    "In the Hegelian system conflict is essential. Furthermore, for Hegel and systems based on Hegel, the State is absolute. The State requires complete obedience from the individual citizen. An individual does not exist for himself in these so-called organic systems but only to perform a role in the operation of the State. He finds freedom only in obedience to the State. There was no freedom in Hitler's Germany, there is no freedom for the individual under Marxism, neither will there be in the New World Order. And if it sounds like George Orwell's 1984 - it is.

    In brief, the State is supreme and conflict is used to bring about the ideal society. Individuals find freedom in obedience to the rulers.  So who or what is the State? Obviously it's a self-appointed elite."

  •                    Excellent submission, InfoWarsTV1.  Thanks.

Actually, Hegel was right in his apprehension of a dialectical process involved in the outworking of history, of action-reaction-consolidation, etc.; he just thought - assumed - that the process ended - would 'logically' end - with the culminating establishment of the almighty State.  He didn't include in his calculating the same process being involved in the outworking of the religion-atheism-Truth dynamic  But an in-depth treatment of that process would take a while, is for another time.

While we still have Time to work within.
