Large BP Tar Balls Spotted on Florida Beach
Monday, June 28th, 2010Identifying Sheeple
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Not everyone who is unaware or uneducated on the intricacies of Globalism, Central Banking, and the NWO, is necessarily “sheeple”. All of us, at one time or another, were nearly clueless as to the real workings of our government and our economy behind the proverbial curtain. I have found that many people are quite open to the information I make available as long as I make it available in a way that is not immediately overwhelming for them, and as long as I present solid evidence to back every claim that I relate. It is very important to be able to make the distinction between those who are brazenly dim-witted, and those who simply have not been adequately exposed to the facts.
Below, I will list my observations on the various ‘types’ of sheeple, and how to recognize them. Keep in mind some people might fall into more than one category.
The ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ Sheeple: Also known as the “Yuppie”. Life is a party for these folks. As long as they are not affected by the immediate circumstances of the troubles surrounding them, they couldn’t care less about politics, economics, war, or governmental deceit. They may even be aware of the terrible facts behind a certain issue, but as long as the routine of their mundane existence remains intact, they will have little motivation to effect changes in their thinking or their world. In fact, some ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ Sheeple ENJOY a random catastrophe or two, because it gives them conversational fodder for the small-talk around the water cooler that they love so much. Their primary drives are unchecked consumerism (the accumulation of useless things), and emotionally empty sexual exchanges (the accumulation of false self-confidence). Most of what they know about the world they derive from watching fifteen minutes of mainstream television news a day. They often parrot talking points they overheard on MSNBC or CNN, and rarely have an original thought.
I have found that these men and women are normally from upper middle-class, white collar families. They have likely been coddled and sheltered from the suffering that goes on outside of the affluent bubble they were born into, and have probably never had to truly struggle for anything in their lives, giving them an audacious sense of entitlement. Plenty of these people break out of this one track thinking pattern on their own. I have known quite a few. But others will refuse to see the obvious unless confronted with the prospect that they personally might lose something if they do not take action.
The ‘Quasi-Intellectual’ Sheeple: My favorite kind of sheeple. These people hold themselves in very high esteem. Some even see themselves as part of the elite (though most of them are not). Normally from the “professional class”, they often hold positions as Doctors, Lawyers, Bankers, Investors, Professors, Scientists, etc, though some have not yet left the university setting, and are simply getting a head start on their superiority complex.
Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple believe in the world of academia as unerring, as opposed to true scholars, who always have the wisdom to question the conclusions of academia. To me, an Ivy League degree is little more than a $100,000 piece of paper; it tells me nothing of the true intelligence of the person holding it. One need only look at the thousands of mainstream “professional” financial analysts who blindly supported Keynesian economics and refused to acknowledge the bubbles being facilitated by the private Federal Reserve’s artificially low interest rates and free money mentality. Their expensive education counted for nothing, and the economy is now on a ruinous downward slide.
At bottom, most “higher education” is really indoctrination. People attaining degrees in economics learn what the financial establishment WANTS them to learn, and nothing more. The same goes for any other field of study in which information is extremely centralized and filtered. Yet, Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple have such misplaced faith in the ivory tower that they assume through the system they have reached the pinnacle of knowledge. Those who have not assimilated themselves into this system as the Quasi-Intellectual has are to be ignored or ridiculed when presenting an opposing view.
This type of sheeple is driven by the desire for respect, power, and sometimes sycophantic admiration. Actually being intelligent is less important to them than having others believe they are intelligent without question. When asked to prove their intelligence, they often respond with indignance. They rarely if ever consider the possibility that they may be wrong on any subject, especially if it’s a subject they received a degree in. When they find themselves facing someone who has a better grasp of an issue than they do, they will not relent. Instead, they will turn towards subversive debate tactics to confuse the discussion, go off on tangents to avoid direct confrontation, and when he is really cornered, he will throw out barrages of obscure vocabulary in an attempt to impress others and distract them from the fact that he has no idea what he is talking about.
Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple are easy to identify by their arrogant demeanor. They tend to distance themselves from FOX and CNN and read periodicals like Forbes and Foreign Affairs, which are still propaganda, just of a more complex nature. They respond to most arguments with a smile, due to overconfidence, until they realize they are being soundly outmatched, and then they tend to lose composure. It takes a lot of public embarrassment before they will mend their ways.
The ‘Working-Class Idiot’ Sheeple: Otherwise known as “the good ole’ boy”. (Special Note: I came from a parallel background, and am highly familiar with these sheeple.) You would think that people who fancy themselves as hardcore conservatives would be aware of the push towards global government and the fact that groups like Al-Qaeda are a fairytale distraction away from the real threat: Socio-Corporate Elitism and overgrown Federal bureaucracy. Apparently, they would ‘love’ to hear about it, but the football game is on and their wife is in their ear and the rugrats won’t stop eating all the damn frosted flakes. Such is the life of men without valid priorities.
These folks are usually Neo-Conservative lapdogs, an ideology suspiciously identical to Socialism with a corporate twist. Mussolini had a name for this combination, though the term escapes me…
Its not that they LIKE big government, Socialism, and the loss of liberties, it’s just that they are too ignorant to realize that that’s what they are supporting when they support the current Republican Party. These sheeple are very competitive. Sadly, however, they are often not accomplished in much of anything, which forces them to live vicariously through the exploits of others; like sports teams, political figures, and soldiers sent to third world hell-holes to blow up “bad guys”. Winning, regardless of whether or not the fight is legitimate or justified, is at the top of the Working Class Idiot’s list.
They like to believe that they have a deep relationship with their conscience, which adds pain when attempting to explain anything to them. These men are vindicated in their own minds by a set of logical fallacies that would boggle the likes of Freud. Being rational is not important to those who are vehemently self righteous. They ARE the “good guys”, anyone who disagrees is a “bad guy”, and that is that. This mindset makes them very easy to dupe, and very easy to lead.
The Working Class Idiot worships television. More than a couple of days without it and he shivers like a starving drug addict. He watches FOX religiously, and not intelligent commentators like Andrew Napolitano. He’s a much bigger fan of frothing psychotics such as Bill O’ Reilly, spewing baseless nonsense like a third grader’s baking soda volcano spews foam. When cornered in an argument, this type of sheeple will try every trick he knows to degrade or intimidate his opponent. When that does not work, he has no problem resorting to violence. How to get through to this sheeple? Find a sports figure, prominent Republican, or military man who talks openly about the NWO (there are some out there). Only then will he take the blinders off.
The ’New Age’ Sheeple: Otherwise known as “unabashed collectivists”. Not to be confused with people who do legitimate study into mythology, spiritualism, and the teachings of the ancient past. These are the folks who read Oprah throwaway books like “The Secret”, and think they have actually learned a secret.
You don’t have to walk on egg shells with New Age Sheeple when it comes to the NWO. They are just as likely to approach you about it. The problem is, they think it’s the best thing since patchouli sticks! Why? Because their vision of a one world order comes from an overexposure to Gene Rodenberry-esque fantasy and a subversive form of propaganda I like to call “Positivism”.
Most ‘New Agers’ are people who have at one point or another in their lives met with serious struggle, unlike the ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ sheeple. However, instead of holding steady through this struggle, they gave up, curling into a ball never to put any real effort into anything substantial again. They often make elaborate excuses for themselves, and adopt Eastern philosophical concepts they don’t really understand. Zen becomes an excuse to ignore the rest of the world and focus on something pointless like underwater basket weaving. Karma becomes an excuse and vindication for any unfortunate event. Self awareness gets confused with self-centeredness. While Happy-Go-Lucky sheeple focus superficially on the outside world, New Agers focus superficially on their inner world.
New Age Sheeple do not set out to actively and physically fix problems. They follow the Positivist view, which is to ignore bad things and hope they go away, or make them go away “with their minds”. No, I am not joking. Every New Ager I have ever met holds stubbornly to the belief that if they think happy thoughts and wish hard enough, their invisible “mental energy” will change their surroundings for them. “If only everyone was blindly optimistic about everything,” they think to themselves, “our society would be perfect…” I hate to break it to them, but no amount of ‘happy vibes’ will stop an inflationary dollar implosion, or stop people who have deliberately chosen to ignore their consciences from doing terrible things.
I have spent over two decades in the martial arts, so I am well aware of the mental and spiritual energy idea. However, in the martial arts, you are taught (rightly I think) that priming ones inner focus only prepares you for struggle, it does not make struggle disappear. What the New Age really boils down to is an attempt to cut corners and slap together easy answers for the very complex and intricate problems of life. It is a lazy man’s methodology of denial in which there is no concrete reality, only “point of view”. This breeds hive-mindedness, because the search for individualism is in itself an exhausting marathon, one they would rather not undertake. Overt collectivism is much easier. All you have to do is follow the swarm. And because New Agers force themselves to become so mutable, over the years they will mindlessly adapt to any horrifying circumstance. If reality is only a “point of view”, then why not rationalize wars and holocausts as illusory blips in time?
The only way to get through to New Age Sheeple that I have found is to show them succinctly that the New World Order the Global Elites are constructing is not the same as the one they like to imagine. Making them read through UN white papers on global governance and federal documents like PDD 51 and the Civilian Inmate Labor Program can help. They will still probably think a one world government is a good idea, but at least they won’t support the Elite’s version.
The ‘Quasi-Activist’ Sheeple: Also known as “the rebel with too many causes and not enough knowledge”. At least these sheeple are willing to leave their houses and fight for something, even if they know little to nothing about what they are fighting for or over. The problem is that their lack of insight and in-depth understanding on most issues makes them highly susceptible to manipulation. These are the “useful idiots” we hear so much about; the people who support Anarchist groups that promote Socialist ideals (uh, Socialism is contrary to the tenets of real Anarchism, guys…), the people who believe everything they are told by the CRU on global warming even though the CRU has never released original source data proving that anything they say is true, the people who blame Capitalism and free markets for the economic collapse even though we haven’t had legitimate Capitalism and free markets in over a century. Without knowing the facts behind these issues, how can one effectively involve himself in them?
Quasi-Activist Sheeple protest not so much to change the world, but to FEEL like they are changing the world. Being a part of something greater, even if it’s a sham, is a major motivator. These people are under the impression that they have an inside track on the workings of politics and culture, but the information sources they use are ultimately narrow and biased. NPR for example is not a reliable news source, and just because they speak in a monotone voice with a British accent does not mean they are educated on social undercurrents or that they are objective. Most “progressive” journalism is merely the leftist equivalent of FOX; highly saturated with disinformation and emotional button pushing. This helps to create a subculture that sees itself as “alternative”, when it is actually the flipside of the same old false paradigm coin.
The advantage of dealing with Quasi-Activists is that they do realize something is very wrong with the world. This is more than most other sheeple accomplish in an entire lifetime. The key is showing them the inaccuracy of the information sources they are too dependent on, and breaking them out of the fake left/right mental trap. As long as they continue to blame all the problems of the planet on “the right”, as long as they continue to blame generalized and fictitious opponents that were designed for them by the media, they will never understand why America continues on its self-destructive path despite all their civil discourse.
Is Tar & Feathers Punishment of Congress Considered Terrorism?
Friday, February 19th, 2010Once upon a time, in this great American land of freedom and morality, if an elected politician or appointed office blatantly misrepresented his constituents, he would be publicly tarred and feathered. It’s a shame this public display of disgrace and truth is no longer practiced.
But I’m sure that the public tar & feathering of a thief or liar would now be considered ‘domestic terrorism’.
Let’s bring back tar & feather public justice for those who fail to represent the people who elected them to office… and for any politician who is immoral and a liar. What better way could there possibly be to cull the Congress of its miscreants?
The Collapse on Our Doorstep
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Here are 21 reasons – a blackjack winning hand – evidencing why we are not in an economic depression nor a recession any longer.
We have now entered a financial collapse brought about by derivative gambling debt… and it’s sitting right in plain sight on our doorstep.
Federal Budget Deficit. The Federal debt limit was just raised almost 100% to $14.3 trillion. It was nearly half that amount ($7.8 trillion) in 2005. The U.S. debt at 84% of the Gross Domestic Product is about to pass the 90% trigger point.
U.S. Foreign Trade Deficit. The total continues climbing as $400 billion is added each year. Foreigners now own $2.5 trillion of the U.S.
Plummeting U.S. World Trade Dollar. The dollar has already fallen and is continuing on a steady downhill slide. The main index measuring dollar strength as a foreign reserve and trade currency has gone from 120 at the Clinton-to-Bush handoff to below 80 today.
Credit Ratings Down, Rates Up. Economists at S&P, Fitch and Moody’s were (and still are) guilty co-conspirators with the Banksters by misleading – and flat-out lying – to investors before the onset of the meltdown that still conti9nues. What’s coming next? Rising debt, lowered credit ratings, and soaring interest rates… not to mention hyper-inflation a la Argentinian style.
Global Real Estate Disaster. The new Dubai Tower, the world’s tallest building, is empty. The U.S. commercial real estate bubble is now $1.7 trillion, a “ticking time bomb” that already accounts for 25% of bank balance sheets.
Oil and the Population Explosion. The United Nations estimates the world population exploding 50% – from 6 billion to 9 billion – by 2050. That’s three billion more humans not just demanding more automobiles, but exhausting more resources to feed their version of the Detroit gas-guzzler… not to mention food needed to feed their own hungry mouths.
Social Security Collapse. There are only two choices: Cut benefits or raise taxes. Politicians hate both, so they’ll do nothing. Delays worsen solutions. Without action, by 2035 Social Security and Medicare benefits will eat up the entire federal budget other than defense.
Medicare Collapse. This failing social welfare program is going broke faster than Social Security. In five years, cost estimates are expected to be over $60 trillion (more than double the 2009 expenditures).
Health-care Insurance Scam. The payment burden is shifting to employee paycheck deductions faster than a speeding bullet. The realistic costs of health care are rising much faster than inflation.
State and Local Government Deficits. With estimated deficits of $110 billion in 2010 (in reality, double this figure due to “creative accounting” techniques used by most government corporations), $178 billion in 2011 (again, a realistic and practical amount is double the “official” estimate), plus more than $450 billion of currently under-funded / un-funded state and municipal employee pension funds. Just wait until April when we get a more accurate peak at the pension fund collapses.
Under-funded Corporate Pensions. Corporate pension funds have quickly become technically bankrupt. They had a $60 billion surplus in 2007. In just two short years, that surplus became a $409 billion deficit in 2009. 92% of corporate pension plans are now underfunded.
Consumer Debt. U.S. Citizens are still living beyond their means. Even with a downturn, consumer debt rose from about $2.3 to $2.5 trillion. Fat Cat Bankers love it — yes love making matters worse by gouging cardholders and mortgagees, blocking help in foreclosures and bankruptcies.
Personal Savings. Before the 2008 meltdown, the savings rate dropped from about 10% (in the early 1980′s) to below zero. Now, the personal savings rate is steadily increasing. This is slowing any hopes of a retail sales recovery. In contrast, Federal and State governments have become non-savers and are spending what they don’t have.
Military Defense Deficits. The “official” costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are $200+ billion annually. In all reality, the figure is closer to $3 trillion when taking into consideration the massive long-term costs for veteran medical care, equipment renewal, and recruitment.
Homeland Insecurity Fiasco. An outrageous cost for alleged “security programs” against purported “terrorists” at airports, seaports, borders, chemical plants, refineries, etc.
Fed/Treasury Bailout Lies. Tax credits, loans, cash and the purchase of toxic assets (OTC derivatives) from Wall Street banksters and their corrupt banks. The cost (so far) to the U.S. Taxpayer is estimated at $23.7 trillion.
Washington Bankster Power. Through lobbyists and former employees working inside the DC corporation, Paulson, Goldman, Geithner, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citibank, ad nauseaum, now have absolute power over DC corporate-government spending. This is called corporate-socialism. Let’s not forget the U.S. Supreme Court giving them the OK to fund their political puppets without monetary restriction.
The Derivatives A-bomb. Wall Street wants no regulation of this $670 trillion, high-risk, Over-the-counter (unregulated), out-of-control gambling casino operation. Unregulated OTC derivatives destroyed global economies in 2008-09 and will collapse them by 2012.
Dysfunctional Two-Party Politics. This is the greatest confidence game ever created. Daily, both Republicans and Democrats outwardly demonstrate absolutely no desire to cooperate with each other for the benefit of those who voted them into office. Their only goal is to keep making Americans believe that they’re really not sleeping with each other.
WTSHTF “Tea Party” Escalations. These days, nobody trusts anyone who has any authority… and for good reason. For Wall Street and DC (two birds from the same nest), doing what’s right and moral for the American people is just empty political rhetoric. The sleeping sheeple have noticed are are beginning to wipe their eyes, which is why the peaceful tea parties may end up yielding to angry crowds who have no more patience.
Food Shortage Reality. Has anyone bothered to look at the actual food production figures? Are the silos full, half full, or nearly empty? Extreme weather has wiped out crops in all 50 States to the point that silos are half full for winter and spring food needs. There will be more demand than supply simply because crop production was less than what’s needed to break even.
The Vast Frontiers of Our Destinies
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Everyone can Achieve Unlimited Heights
And who we are is Surely Pre-determined.
But the Narrow Path we Follow
Is Always of our Own Choosing.
We can Never Allow our own Fears,
Or the Expectations of Others,
To Dictate the Vast Frontiers of Our Destinies.
My Destiny Cannot be Changed,
And Neither Can Yours,
But all Destinies Must be Challenged.
Each and Every Man & Woman is Born of Many,
And Each dies as a Single… but Never Alone.
To my Fellow Veterans, both Here and There…
May Peace and Joy Overcome us All,
And may Light fill our Wounded Hearts.
