The Antidote for Fear and Loathing in America: Love and Reality

I am a writer. I create stories, that is, I write fiction. But I also write non-fiction, blog posts, e-zine articles, informed comments, pontifications, and this newsletter. In this newsletter I try to make sense of what I see as reality, the actual reality I live and the broad reality that is out there, far away and seemingly hidden but nevertheless discernable, if only one does not look to closely at the mainstream media and most of the alternative media but looks at the "big picture" from "outside the box" (or the "matrix" or the "machine" or whatever you want to call it). But also, in order to discern the broad reality one must live in actual reality and be so connected with real, actual, personal reality to the point where anything outside that reality is only a distraction. Thus, for me, Larry Craig's recently reported indiscretions are a distraction. Everything you read about the war in Iraq, that is not eyewitness, is propaganda, pro-war or anti-war, and thus is a distraction. (In fact, if I didn't know someone who actually was a soldier in Iraq and actually showed me photos he'd taken that were on his laptop, I just might believe that there was no war in Iraq and it was just "wag the dog." That is how distrustful I am of the mainstream media! Further, I don't have much more trust in the alternative media. A reader here might think I am some "9-11 truther" because I link to Alex Jones's Infowars.com, but I am neither a believer in the "official" 9-11 story nor the "truther" version. While the truthers claim that it is the US government behind the attack, they can't seem to get their story straight on whether al-Qaida was involved or not. [My position, if you must know, is this: al Qaida did it, but, on the other hand, al Qaida has from its inception been a tool of the CIA/Pakistani ISI. Thus, as with everything else, I've said it before and I'll say it again: the truth is somewhere in the middle. If the truthers don't like it and think Deborah Lagarde is some kind of stooge for "them", then they do not know my history and can believe what they want. If it turns out they were right, then they can gloat, because by the time that happens, I'll be dead.]).

To make a "long position short": because I deal with reality every day--garden to water and keep the pest out, homeschool the daughter, clean the house, talk to God, read the media and try to get some sort of sense out of it over the Internet (having no faith at all in news on TV except for the Weather Channel), read the Bible, cook, sew when I just can't put it off any longer, feed the cats, fill the water tank, take care of a sick neighbor, converse with other humans on occasion, water the house plants, hike or walk, eat, sleep, and take a piss or a crap every now and then, and do the occasional research job, watch a minimum amount of TV (mostly movies, Simpsons reruns, South Park, Colbert Report, Futurama, and, of course, X-Files reruns, and if I can stand the rantings of leftists, Democracy Now!), and reading in spare time (for instance, Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings," a movie series I've seen many times, but must read the book to find the answers to such questions as 'why does Denethor hate his son Faramir?' that the movies don't answer.). The very little spare time I have besides that, I spend on this newsletter... Anyway, because I deal with so much reality every day, I can look outside the box out here out of the way of the machine and see what is happening "out there." Whether the Holy Spirit or the vibes of muses is giving me this discernment, all I can say is this: the oligarchs are blowing it! Good grief! I cannot believe that a self-perpetuating crew of inbred "masters of the universe", who have run the planet since Cain killed Abel, are about to see their game over. But only a person or various other people who understand what game it is THEY have been playing all these millennia (Kevin Flaherty of Cryptogon also sees it) can see that THEIR game really, really is, just about over. (The really cool thing is this: we don't really need a Ron Paul as President to see it over...Paul's presidency will only delay the inevitable...so in fact, even if Paul doesn't get the nod in 2008, the oligarchs only have a few years, perhaps a decade, two at the most, left to pull THEIR screwed up game out of the fire. Below I will consider why GAME OVER is inevitable. I just hope you have a few minutes, because my argument took a while for me to write down.

According to the 2007 Failed States Index put out for the Fund for Peace's 'Foreign Policy' website, almost one-half the countries in the world have either "officially" failed (either to provide any kind of government or services at all to their peoples, or failed to provide their peoples with any voice at all, or the economy has completely failed, or the nation is at war or has many refugees). The vast majority of the top 60 on their list are, as they always are, in Africa. But looking at those at the top of the list (Sudan, Iraq, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Chad) it isn't hard to see that these are here just because of militia-driven violence or because they are run by brutal dictators who would eat their citizens, literally, if they thought they could get away with it--just WHO caused the destruction of Darfur, Iraq, and Somalia? Well, not quite the World Health Organization, but it's pretty close...the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the world's oligarchs who are arming folks like the Janjaweed in Sudan as well as the Chadian military which is killing Darfur refugees almost as fast as the Janjaweed and Sudan military are, Mugabe's savage military in Zimbabwe, which is shooting starving refugees as they cross the SA border (and the SA govt. which lets them!), US imperialism, which is destroying Iraq and now wants to destroy Iran and then Syria so Israel doesn't have to, and US imperialist-backed Ethiopian troops who are committing genocide against Somalis under the guise of "combatting the Islamic Courts 'terrorism'...and on and on. The only Western Hemisphere country high on the list is...you guessed it, Haiti, the basket-case of the hemisphere, in perpetuity, because of, you guessed it, US imperialism! And, speaking of the United States...last year's 2006 index--primarily because of Katrina, or, rather, Bush's lack of action to alleviate the damage (Kanye West is right when he says Bush doesn't care about blacks; the thing is, he doesn't care about anyone who isn't in his oligarch or lackey clique!), the US ranked 128 out of 146 (a score of 34.5), with a slightly improved score of 33.6 and 160 out of 177 for 2007. Still the US does worst in the categories dealing with refugees/displaced persons (thanks to Katrina and the gentrification going on in New Orleans), violating the rule of law and arbitrary justice (thanks to Bush's justice for the oligarchs and their lackeys only) and "uneven economic development" for the oligarchs and virtual debt enslavment for the rest of us (some of that, of course, is the fault of the idiot consumers who spent money they didn't have). I suspect that, if the oligarchs rig the 2008 elections to where it is obvious they have, so that even an inbred redneck can see it, or assassinate Ron Paul or something like that, I suspect the US score will skyrocket...or all it could take is the economy taking its course which the idiots in the oligarchy have unwittingly set for it. And that leads me to the next paragraph.

I just said the oligarchs, the folks who for millennia after millennia have planned and managed us masses--the herd--so incredibly well that very few of us actually noticed any kind of behavior management or social experimentation or "matrixizing" THEY have done to us, are, at this juncture, making some very serious mistakes. I don't know why they're making these mistakes...is it because they are so inbred? or a few of them know what's happening and do not like it, and they feel guilty as hell? Is it because their arrogance, hubris, and egomania has gotten the best of them? I don't know, but THEY are making very serious mistakes. I list them below:

Mistake #1: THEY have unleashed President Dubya Bush and his handler Dick Cheney on the world to the point where THEY have lost control of them. True, the oligarchs DO WANT CHAOS, for, as Neitzsche has said in his famous quote, "Out of chaos comes order." (But Neitzsche never came up with the obvious obverse, 'out of order comes chaos,' which I think is equally true.) The original plan was for THEM to create as much chaos as possible, one bit at a time, and things would just GRADUALLY cascade from there into their "new world order," sometimes called the "one world government." Notice I emphasized GRADUALLY. "Gradualism" has been the hallmark of the "new world order" oligarchs and lackeys in economic, academic, social, religious, and geopolicy fields. (One day I'll write a newsletter about my experiences in the summer of 1970 as a summer "exchange" student at Sussex University near Brighton, England. In this program I learned what "they" had in mind for a future European Union, which of course has come to pass.) Having said that, it is obvious to me that "gradualism" has had to be thrown out the window. Now, if I was an oligarch, I would want to stop pussy-footing around and just get on with the enslavement of humanity so I could have fun hunting with assault rifles some unfortunate peon who just happened to get in my crosshairs, and I would be getting impateint with all this "gradualism" nonsense...I mean, come on now! I've waited two-, three-, four-thousand years for this! Let's get on with the show already! Yet the idle desires of some psychomaniac oligarchs with itchy trigger fingers are NOT why the oligarchs have had to quicken their plan. THEY have had to speed up the plan--NOT something they really had in mind--because Bush and Cheney have WAY upped the ante! When THEY appointed Bush to be Bill Clinton's successor and rigged the elections to assure that outcome (or I should say, the Supreme Court did), and when THEY (using al Qaida, a CIA/ISI operative) attacked us on 9-11, THEY had in mind, assuredly, that US-led forces would occupy Afghanistan so that the various war lords could get the opium crop up and running again as the Taliban had done a pretty good job eradicating it (I know the LaRouche-ites make this claim as well, but that doesn't mean the claim itself is wrong). [Note: that in and of itself was a stupid idea--name me ONE country, one empire, who has ever conquered Afghanistan?] However, THEY didn't plan on having Bush, for whatever reason, invade Iraq. It is now common knowledge over the alternative sites that in fact Israel wanted the US to invade Iran instead (of course, this might be a case of Israel backtracking, blaming Bush for something that has gone awry, denying responsibility. In other words, don't take anything Sharon and co. say as gospel truth). Further (and I don't need to link to this, do I, it is such common knowledge), it is very well known that numerous European nations--France, Germany, the EU leadership in Brussels, and others--tried to get Bush not to do so. Russia and China were against it. Few nations joined the so-called coaltion of the willing and of those that did only sent very token support (except Britian, who used to control Iraq). Except for Halliburton and other multinationals who would directly benefit from no-bid contracts to "rebuild" Iraq, and except for a few large oil companies who thought they'd be able to steal Iraq's oil, almost no large corporations run by the oligarchs wanted Iraq invaded. THEY knew Iraq would turn into a no-win situation, and further, they knew that the Iraqi people would not let multinational corporations steal their oil (so instead, Iraqi insurgents keep on blowing up oil pipe lines...almost no oil produced is getting out of Iraq and production is way down). For the same reasons, THEY do not want Bush invading Iran. THEY do not want Bush telegraphing his punch. That Bush and Cheney, who are dismantling the US Constitution so that more and more Americans are aware of what the Bush Administration is doing, are "blowing it" for the oligarchs is obvious: because more and more people the world over can see Bush/Cheney's plans for what they are. The plans are no longer secret. That is NOT something THEY planned on, certainly not George Herbert Walker Bush, Dubya's daddy--which is why Bush I and Clinton tried to sic the "Iraq Study Group" on Dubya. The "Iraq Study Group" is, pure and simple, the lackey of the oligarchs. Here is my point: the oligarchs obviously are no longer a united front. That Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq means that the smaller group of oligarchs who control them is OPPOSED to the much larger group of oligarchs who do not. Why? Because the larger group of oligarchs no longer control the Bush Administration. THAT wasn't supposed to happen! Now, the oligarchs and the "new world order" crowd are split. THAT wasn't supposed to happen!

Mistake #2: Because of THEIR insane economic policy of creating debt instrucments that NO ONE can keep track of and NO ONE knows the value of (that is, "collataralized debt oblgations" and other so-called "derivatives" that keep on getting sold and getting sold from hedge funds to banks and back to hedge funds, 19 of which have "imploded" in a matter of months), and because THEIR privately-owned central banks have to bail them out with their privately owned money [yeah, yeah, the taxpayer does...but who the heck do you think OWNS the money? THEY DO!]), THEY themselves might be sitting pretty for now, but the effect of what THEY have done is to oversee the destruction of the great American middle-class. The largest middle-class on the planet is the American middle-class. Screw the American middle-class as THEY have done, and the result is FINALLY, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP! I am reminded of that line from the movie "Dune," when Paul Moadib, having just drank the water of life and lived, announced in memoriam to his father murdered by the Harkonnens, "The sleeper has awakened!". There are two proofs that the American people now realize what is being done to them. One, presidential candidate Ron Paul, the champion of liberty and fiscal responsibility, is winning most straw polls, nearly all online polls, and most debate polls as well, even those that include Democrats, and it is generally considered that only Paul can beat Hillary in a national election (because while Hillary is a phony anti-war candidate, Paul is the real McCoy). Two, consumers have slowed down their spending. For instance, Wal-Mart recently announced it has not posted the kinds of profits it has been for many years, which means the lower income groups in the middle-class are tapped out; meanwhile, the more fiscally sound members of the middle-class are making paying off their mortgages priority, not buying more gadgets. New car sales are through the floor. Apple Inc., for another instance, has had to lower the price of its new i-Phone because so few are buying them. These events have been casued by job off-shoring and out-sourcing, layoffs in the financial and housing and construction industries and support jobs, the weakening of the dollar, threats from China to dump their billions of reserve dollars along with threats by consumer groups to refuse to buy "made in China" (some of that I believe is counterintuitive, because while things made in China aren't necessarily healthy for consumers, China is right to lay some of the blame on the USDA, FDA, and other so-called consumer protection agencies that are not doing their job as well as parent companies, headquartered in the US, such as Mattel. Much of the "boycott China" nonsense comes from demagogues like Lou Dobbs--not that everything Lou says is wrong, but of late it seems to me that he is acting like a demagogue, that's all). So, as the American people wake up, the oligarchs are going to have to take the gloves off, pure and simple. When that happns, the American people WILL REBEL, WILL ORGANIZE, and WILL DEFEAT the oligarchs--the signature event for the start of this will be when THEY come for our guns. They'll get mine OVER MY DEAD BODY! And that, my friends, will be THEIR last mistake!

Mistake #3: "Losing China, Russia, Africa and the Middle East, and, oh yeah, Latin America and Oceania as well. It is well known (see the books "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" and "The Conspirator's Hieracrchy", or just Google "who financed the Bolshevik Revolution" and "who financed the Communist Party of China") that THEY financed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, financed Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin (especially Stalin, so that it could be "proved" by stooges such as Walter Duranty that "communism worked") as well as Hitler and Mussolini, and financed Mao Zedong's overthrow of the Nationalists (who, NOT MAO, were the folks who kicked the Japs out of China), as well as Kim's North Korea, Ho Chi Minh's Vietnam revolution, Lon Nol's overthrow of King Norodom Sihanouk in Cambodia (a China ally), and various other so-called "liberation" movements that wound up oppressing the people. Well, it is THEY who have now lost China, Russia, and the others and are in the process of losing Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Oceania pretty much for good. While the masses have been distracted by Paris Hilton, American Idol, Larry Craig and other Republican shennanigans, and TV in general: 1) China really, really can wreck the US economy single-handedly and are as of now slowly but surely dumping their dollars, and have created a new great power alliance (the SCO) with 2) Russia, who is not only allying with China as well as Iran, getting greater control over its "breakaway" republics (with all that oil that have), but is now flying over what many Americans consider "our" Arctic airspace with impunity! Ever since Putin got rid of Yeltsin and his oligarch friends who were robbing Russia blind, Russia has become independent of the "new world order" oligarchs (as has China, which is building capitalism without THEIR help). As for the Middle East, Iran, as I said a new partner with Russia and China, is becoming more powerful in that region, and, with support groups in Syria and other places, it will inspire the oppressed peoples in the Islamic world to overthrow their US backed satraps. If the US invades Iran, it will happen that much quicker (and, truly, Israel really WILL be wiped off the map! Every Jew in the Middle East will be dog meat!), but less quickly than if Israel does it herself. Don't forget, Pakistan, who will fall first to Islamic radicals, has nukes. Latin America is quickly and surely throwing off US imperialism faster than you can say Hugo Chavez. Now, I don't particularly like Chavez just like I don't like Castro or Morales or any of those other leftist demogagues, but we need to face facts. Why? Read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and you will understand. Oceania is going through some "intersting times" right now; for one thing, they just had coups in Fiji, Tuvalu, and Papua New Guinea in the past two years (monitor this at Antiwar.com). Australia at this very moment is becoming a police state nightmare for no other reason than Bush is there for the APEC meeting. In New Zealand, which appears to be far freer now than even the US, the government recently banned criticism of the government members! (check out Cryptogon for this, with a link at the left.) So, basically, nearly all of Asia (and soon Japan as well--supposedly a new kind of government will win Japanese elections soon), much of the Middle East, Latin America and Oceania is out of oligarchy/new world order hands. That leaves Africa. I truly believe that Africa, not the Middle East, will be the next battlefield, and the side that has China will win it. That's because China is sending billions in aid--NO STRINGS ATTACHED--to many African countries so these countries will not have to depend on the corrupt "Economic Hit Man" tactics of the World Bank and IMF. If Africans can somehow find a way to raise up leaders who will stand by their people, there is no reason Africa won't leave the oligarch fold as well.

Mistake #4: THEY have become so obviously corrupt that there is only one way THEY are going to stop Ron Paul and his freedom message--kill him. That will make it look so obvious that even the die-hard red state fascists will know something is wrong.

Mistake #5: In 30 AD or thereabouts, THEY KILLED MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. If the reader is atheist or under the sway of the "Zeitgeist" movie, he or she can skip this section (but don't write to me and tell me what an idiot I am, please, because I will rip your argument to shreds, so do yourself a favor). This, of course, had to happen so that the whole world will be saved from separation from God (the word "sin" means "separation," not some nonsense behavior like eating fish on Fridays or drinking too much booze or not going to church. In Spanish, the word "sin" means "without"-- for good reason! It is separation from God. When Christ died for the redemption from "sin" it meant He died so that everlasting separation from God is NULL AND VOID! And if you "hell for eternity" people write me and tell me I am going to "hell" for saying that, I will rip your arguments to shreds as well.). That event, aside from universal reconciliation and cancellation of sin for all mankind, set in motion events that lead up to today. Today, we have the vast majority of peoples who either believe in one phony religion or another (and "Christianity"="Churchianity" is one of those phony religions, as are "humanism", "new age", "wiccanism", "paganism" and the rest) and will fight to the death to defend "their god over another god." The thing is, although most believe that "their god" is the true God, none of them are! The "god" of those who sent American boys and girls to die in Iraq is the state, not "God." The "god" of those who want to keep them there for profit is "mammon" or "money" not "God." The "god" of those who believe that we must nuke Iran to save Israel (which itself forsookChrist and believes in the anti-Christ Talmud which operates on the Noahide Laws that mean to persecute Gentiles) is "anti-Christ/Mystery Babylon," not "God." The "god" of those who claim to own the world is in fact "the principalities and powers" Paul speaks of in the epistles, that is, Satan and his minions, not "God." And now I get to the point. Throughout history, whether 2,000 years ago, today, or at the so-called "end times", God has and is raising a remnant. This remnant, those who truly have faith (and by faith I don't mean cockamamie "faith-based initiatives") will, as Christ said, "move mountains." In other words, sow the seeds of mankind's ability to throw off the rule of the oppressor oligarchs. Jesus Christ, who resides not in some church building but in the hearts of His Elect (the remnant of which I speak), will symbolically "move mountains," not on our own will or strength, but with His strength. I do not know who is in the remnant, but as with other remnants in history who have overseen the world progressing to the "last day," this remnant will be like John the Baptist and "make straight" the path to the Lord. The so-called "might" of the oligarchs is nothing compared to this.

Mistake #6: September 11, 2001. If it is true that the US government really did plan and execute the events of 9-11, then THEY lose. Why? Because if THEY (regardless of which group of oligarchs Bush/Cheney are beholden to) felt THEY had to create such an event, then that must mean THEY were getting desperate and realized all THEIR best laid plans up to that point just weren't working, all that "gradualism" spoken of before. So, if that is the case, THEY only had a few years to plan such a thing, and what THEY were going to do next, and next, and so on (as opposed to before 9-11, when they'd plan things for decades, or even centuries). Then, THEY had to cover their tracks...if the "9-11 truthers" are right, THEY have done a VERY BAD JOB of covering their tracks! If the "9-11 Commission Report" is right, THEY have also done a bad job covering things up, and the worst (for them) is their idiot "bin Laden" videos which clearly show a bin Laden with a dark beard, not a greying beard as seen by those who have interviewed him and in early post-9-11 pix...and this report from Fox on December 26, 2001, claiming bin Laden is dead (as per the Pakistan Observer). However, on the other hand, the government had some inkling a terrorist attack was going to happen but did nothing to stop al Qaida from doing it (wether because NORAD was running an "anti-terrorism" exercise on 9-11 or not, which was why a "stand down order" was issued), and whether the CIA funded al Qaida was doing the CIA's bidding or acting roughe on their own or not, the whole fact that the Bush Administration let this one get away from them means the oligarchs lose, again. Why? Because it means that the right hand of THEM doesn't know what the left hand of THEM is doing! It means the oligarchs are not infallible, they are not masters of the universe, of planet Earth, or even of the United States! If 9-11 was a false flag operation, THEY blew it! If 9-11 occurred to get the US into Iraq, then Iran and Syria (on behalf of Israel or not), well, I gotta say THEY certainly overestimated the capacity of the US military, which is still running second generation tactics against a fourth generation insugency (think American Continental Army vs. Britain...some of the most outstanding Continental Army victories occurred with the guerrilla tactics of Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion against the Brits, which Mel Gibson turned into the movie, "The Patriot."). Think also the Viet Cong against the US in Vietnam. So what if "we won every battle"? The VC and the NVA kicked our butts outta there! So, the oligarchs created chaos, but THEY may not like the "order" that comes out of it. Think Pakistan, which is very close to getting rid of Musharraf and instituting Islamic fanaticism...oh, and, BTW, Pakistan has nukes. How do you think India will react? THEY didn't plan on that one, I am sure! Basically, THEY did 9-11. Why? Because THEY have lost control! And, pretty soon, GAME OVER!

But you can deal better with all this (because it will get ugly) if you are prepared to concentrate on reality. This is also where love comes in. If you can keep THEM from getting you to hate this group or that group, if you can see the so-called "war on terrorism" as a distraction, if you can see that the enemy is not Arabs or Islamics or blacks or whites or Jews or Catholics or Protestants or liberals or conservatives or libertarians or atheists or fundamentalists or rednecks or sophistocated city people or yuppies or "white trash" or "Fredheads" or "Ron Paul Revolutionaries" or "McCainiacs" or "Hillary lovers" or whatever, and instead can see the enemy as the oligarchs (I didn't say rich people...I said oligarchs, those who believe THEY control everything and everybody), then you can keep THEM from THEIR "divide and conquer" game, and instead of hating all these different groups you can "love" them in a sense by forgiving them for being misled, and, further, you can forgive those outside the US (or even inside the US, such as presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who, in his exchange with Ron Paul in the New Hampshire debate a week ago, blamed the American people for the debacle in Iraq. Paul repsonded by blaming the neocons, who ARE to blame! Not the American people!) who blame Americans for every ill in the world, because they too are ill-informed or playing the self-righteousness game. Hate blinds you to reality, whereas love binds you to reality. Having love and forgiveness in your heart means you have the capacity to move on to getting out of THEIR game. You cannot escape THEIR game with hate.
