This gives a whole new meaning to the term sheeple.

Well here we are, the supposed most fortunate generation in history and yet we are facing the complete annihilation of our way of life.

We have been deceived, coerced, cajoled and forced into giving away our freedom and our future in pursuit of the tainted promises of a consumer utopia. “Buy, buy, buy, borrow, borrow, borrow. Look the other way while we ship all of the jobs overseas and ship back in all of the nasty, low quality junk that you must buy, buy, buy with the money that we got you to , borrow, borrow, borrow”.

Why did you have to borrow that money anyway? BECAUSE YOUR WAGES WEREN’T HIGH ENOUGH!!! BECAUSE THE GOOD JOBS HAD BEEN SHIPPED AWAY!!! Except you didn’t notice it right away because - that’s right - you were distracted by all the money you could borrow, borrow, borrow and all of the shiny stuff that you could buy, buy, buy and all of the plastic people on tv that you could watch, watch, watch. Yippee what fun.

But then the credit/fun tap got turned off and the rest is history, or rather history in the making.

Don’t you remember when not so long ago one income would support a family?

Look at the state of our youngsters. Many people are scared of groups/gangs of children. How did so many go off the rails? Why are so many dumber than dirt?

Where were the parents when they should have been instilling values into them?

Both working to make ends meet and hoping that the children processing factories (schools), would turn out an acceptable product at the end. How can anyone hope to counter the low standards of public education when they are working all day and then distracted by 1001 other things in their time off.

Do people even connect the dots here I wonder. Maybe not, if they did they wouldn’t send their kids off to be so thoroughly disserviced. Would you keep returning your car to a shop that routinely screwed up the job? No. But you send your kids to institutions that do just that. Look at all of the money that goes into the education system and they still don’t get it right. Ah but they do get it right. The system is doing what the slave masters want it to do.

The system is doing what it was designed to do. Turn out cogs. We think it’s a failing system because we don’t understand the purpose of the system. We are told that it’s all about education, and we fall for it, then we are puzzled because the education doesn’t seem to be working properly. The promise of education is just a smoke screen to lull you into sending your children off to an institution where they will be mashed up and remolded into cogs. Inquisitive, lively, individuals go in and sullen, boring, clones come out. We are easier for the slave drivers to  manage that way. Some children do well in spite of their education, but a honest look at the degenerate state of our society reveals the true picture. How can a one size fits all system do anything other than fail individuals.

John Taylor Gatto can fill you in on the details if you care to read about them.

Just in case any crazy parents take it into their heads that they could do a better job of educating their children themselves, you’ve got states and countries outlawing the practise. Even though the majority of home ed children run rings around their schooled counterparts academically, can think for themselves, are better at problem solving and due to the time spent around caring adults (who aren’t being paid to be with them, it’s a labor of love and it makes a difference), don’t turn out to be the kind of youths that grown ups are scared of!!

i’ll get back on topic now.

Our economies here in the West were just a house of cards waiting to crash down. The people that pushed this consumerism/globalism drug on us have made their money, they are sitting pretty, while we fret and worry about putting food on the table and keeping a roof over our heads.

They and their brought and paid for politicians (yeah your vote really is worthless in this world), will do nothing to fix this. You are mad if you sit around thinking they they even intend to fix this. Take your obama tinted glasses off, he won’t save you, he doesn’t want to save you.

He won’t even put voters minds at rest by proving that he is eligable to hold the office of president.

Do you think a “small” thing like his eligibilty doesn’t matter? The people spoke, right? Wrong, dead wrong.

If he is not eligable to hold office, every law passed, every penny spent, every judge appointed, every deal struck, will be invalid. Plus what happens when some foreign country who does hold the goods on Obama decides it’s time to blackmail the pres and have him do their bidding? He needs to show his documentation. If he is legit then so be it.  If he stood for president illegally and knew it, then do you really want a fraudster in charge from the get go?

England has an unelected Prime Minister right now. I wonder at the true legality of everything that has passed into law in the UK since he took office.

We are entering the worst economic period in modern history. We are entering a time of deprivation when people have record levels of debt and no idea how to fend for themselves. You can thank the school system for that last part. The school system that teaches you to be a cog in a machine. What happens when the machine gets broken, or get’s taken away or the feul runs out? You are just a useless cog with no other function.

You only have to look at the growing unemployment lines for the proof of that. Unable to find work in the machine, the cogs are on the scrapheap.

Well you know what, it doesn’t have to be that way. We can come through this econmic wreckage but we have to think and act outside the box.

Hankering for yesterday and things to go back to how they were were last year won’t work. Why would we want to go back a system that has always been set on self destruct anyway? Yes, there is comfort in what we know and are familiar with, but it’s only temporary.

We need to move forward, we need to kick out the slave masters - yes the corporations are slave masters and we are still their slaves, our chains are called pay checks and the overseers are the endless government bureacracies that dictate every move that we may or may not make.

No one person or group will come along to save you. If you want to be free of the chains, you have to break them yourself.

As I have written before, we don’t need their junk food, infected with preservatives and pesticides and who knows what else. We can grow what we need on a local basis. A small town in England is doing just that.

If you have lost your job, get together with some others and figure out how you can create your own work by producing food.

The money is generated in your local economy and it stays in your local economy. It isn’t being sucked away by foreign corporations and shareholders looking for profit. You get some money in your pocket to spend in other local outlets, so they don’t go out of business.

If car ownership is out of reach now, or if those monthly payments are crippling you, why not start a community car share scheme? 4 families could use  2 vehicles, so instead of finding the money to buy 4 cars, and pay 4 lots of tax and insurance and maintenece, you are only paying for 2. This won’t work if you have to commute miles for work but if your activities are more locally based it can work out just fine.

Around here we often borrow one anothers vehicles if one of us has a car out of action and we give rides to people who don’t have a car at all.  A car scheme would just be a formal extension of that.

About to be evicted? Don’t end up on the street. Ask around, find someone who will rent to you (if you still have income) without credit checks. Find someone who needs help around the place and see if you can move in and supply that help in return for a place to stay.  House sit.  Move back in with family.  Squat a bank owned property.  See if your church can help. If you have even one person who claims to be your friend, then you should never be homeless.

Would you stand by and watch someone you care about, go and live in a tent, on a piece of waste ground?

Fair weather friends are good for just that, the good times. When the going gets toughs the fickle f**k off. I hope your friends are made of stronger stuff.

For further insight and ideas I suggest reading this article Anti-Consumerism and The Alternate Economy.

It’s full of simple ideas to help get jobs back, for example, don’t use your ATM card, insist on withdrawing cash inside with the help of a living, breathing bank teller. How much extra profit did the banks make once they had conditioned us to use plastic and pay for the privalage? One losusy machine costs a lot less then a bunch of employees who need living wages and expect to receive health benefits and pension contributions.

Help keep jobs. Use services that are provided by people. It might be your job that is saved.

We did sit back and let this happen, so did our parents generation. If we sit back and let this continue we will be despised by all generations who follow us. We are custodians of liberty and we are losing it fast.

Look at England. Papers please will soon be as common a phrase on the streets of England as it was on the Streets of East Germany. Laws that were embraced by a terrified public subjected to false flag attacks are now used on innocent newspaper delivery boys. These anti terror laws are used to spy on the public. It’s the same deal with the patriot Act. That was written long before 9/11 and congress were not even given time to read the thousands of pages before they had to vote on it.

How did all of this happen? How did we get so swindled like this? BECAUSE we weren’t paying attention. We were too busy shopping for crap, thinking about crap and watching more crap on TV. Talking about sports and celebrities, instead of scrutinizing our laws and our lawmakers. We trusted the media the tell us the truth, but the media are just establishment mouthpieces. That is why they didn’t report the truth about the economy for years, that is why they are now accelerating the decline by filling their pages with doom laden predictions. They can’t wait to tell us how bad it really is now, because a frightened populace will meekly accept the next bunch of draconian measures that the slave masters spew out. Just like we all accepted the anti terror measures after their false flag attacks which have in fact been directed towards spying on us and controlling us.

Are we waking up yet to our responsibilites? Don’t sit back and take it. The only way to fight back is to develop alternate systems. They are expecting either a tired and weakened populace to either roll over and comply with their plans or a desparate populace to get violent. Violence will be met with violence, so don’t go down that road, it’s pointless. Why do you think they have developed sound and heat weapons? They are expecting trouble at home that’s why. How about the active duty troops being redeployed within the US?

Don’t fall into their traps. If enough of us turn away from this consumer fantasy and get down to some hard work we can throw a spanner in their works.  It’s down to us, this is the oly window we have left. As that lying dog, Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of England said “the peices are in flux”.  Yes they are, but if we let them fall as planned then it’s really game over for us.

So carpe diem (seize the day), our future is down to us.
