The Big One

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

By Dictator Hater for the Corbett Report.

Many of us have been waiting for “The Big One”. I’m not talking about earthquakes, I’m talking about the one big thing that will happen that shows us once and for all that we are slipping into fascism.

The problem with the big one is that there is no big one.

What we are seeing today in our government and rule making bodies is a descent toward something like Fascism but laced with Communism. It doesn’t matter what you call it, in the end you can’t tell one from the other.

Waiting for the big one has paralysed many people into believing that until “it” happens, they have no right to protest or do anything about it. It makes us doubt ourselves and feelings of being unsure hold us back. What many people forget is that the courts in this country convict many of our fellow citizens with circumstantial evidence and in lesser courts, a preponderance of the evidence. There is no need for eyewitnesses in these types of convictions, just enough evidence to prove that if it goes moo, it’s a cow.

Instead of waiting for the big one, it is time to take a hard look at the circumstantial evidence and ponder it.

Our government has been corrupt ever since it came into existence. Any time someone has something, there is always someone out there trying to figure out a way to take it away so they can profit. Personal freedom is no exception Since the erosion began, centuries ago, we’ve been turned into servants to the state, our labor is exploited by the government and is used to back up the debts these criminals run up so high that Jack’s Beanstalk pales in comparison. Think about it, you are what the government uses to back their bonds. Your labor and your children’s labor in the future. We are nothing more than bond servants to them, allowing them to issue servant bonds to support their spending sprees, graft and corruption. Now if that doesn’t make you mad, I don’t know what will. What do you think “backed by the full faith and credit of the United States” means? The government bodies do nothing that produces a product or any form of profit, they are there to restrain the people.

The amount of nose thumbing at the people of the United States of America has been staggering as of late. Those of you who are quick to call Americans “Sheeple” would be served by taking a lesson in how much uproar there was during this last Bailout of Wall Street. But, no matter, the criminals in charge went ahead and gave away their Constitutional powers of the purse over to the Treasury in spite of all the uproar.

We are on the train tracks that lead to hell and the powers that be are stoking the steam engines with paper dollars as fast as they possibly can. If we can see where we are going, why can’t they? The answer is, they can and they are doing this on purpose.

Why in the world would anyone want to bring down the economy of the entire world, you may be asking yourself. If you look at the top dogs, they are not being brought down, they are being lifted to heights of wealth that to an average person are unimaginable. Money does not just simply disappear, it is transferred from one hand to the other. Speculation can cause markets like real estate to turn into a bubble, but the actual materials and labor it took to build the buildings sitting on the land is real. Then comes the supply and demand principals that in a normal market are supposed to dictate value further. The toxic loans and low interest rates fueled speculation and caused the housing bubble, the breakdown of our labor force through job losses and stagnant incomes is causing demand to slip. It is at this point where, if you have cash, you can buy up land and houses for less than it cost to build them. Now, ask yourself, just who is it that is sitting on all the cash?

One answer to this could be found in the end of day stock rallies we see happening so frequently, these are rallies that defy logic. There is no good news to drive them. Thus, one might ask, why are they happening? Is it due to stock market manipulations which allow certain people to bail out at the right moment so they do not suffer the same losses that those who are not in the know are unable to avoid? It is a known fact that the Plunge Protection Team and government intervention has been the backbone of the stock market all the way back to 9/11/01 and that this administration has interfered in the stock market more than any other in it’s history.

Cash is King right now. The question for these Kings who hold the cash is, where exactly is the bottom of the real estate market and when is it safe for them to invest their money and be sure they are buying up something that isn’t going to fall further? I almost (not really) pity the poor middle Kings because they still believe that the markets are operating under the old principals they’ve always been able to rely upon. These people will take a bath while trying to profit off other’s misery. They believe they are part of the elite segment of this country. The truth is, they are fodder for the big guys, just like the rest of us poor slobs who think we are middle class, this is evidenced by the losses of those who didn’t get the go ahead to bail while the stock market was up for those few hours.

Those puny middle guys who believe they are Cash Kings are in for a big surprise if they hold onto that cash too long. The plan is and has been all along to devalue the U.S. dollar and crash it into oblivion. Or should I say, it has been said that this is the plan?

All the wild-eyed conspiracy theorists of the past thirty or so years who have predicted these events are beginning to look a lot saner in today’s world. They were not wrong about what was going to happen, the only thing they’ve been wrong about is when. I doubt there are many of them, although exonnerated by these recent cataclysmic events, who are gloating and saying much along the lines of I told you so’s. What I see are these visionary’s trying to help people prepare and learn to do things in order to be more self sufficient in order to stave off hunger and abject poverty while that window of time is still open a crack.

The ones who are left with fistfuls of dead dollars are going to be in for the shock of their lives. They will discover that they are not “all that” anymore when dead broke, if they have allowed their money to define who they are. If you are one of them I doubt you are reading this article, after all, you know better than a poor dumb slob such as myself, that’s why you’re holding all that money and I am not.

So, cruising through the news the other day, I see that Bush and Lady Bush are going to move into an affluent community around Dallas, Texas. I remember thinking that what our soon to be ex-president deserves is not a cushy retirement (PLEASE let this guy live out his days in obscurity) but a jail cell for the rest of his life.

Watching the suits stand up on television and trying to tell us that they know best is truly a sight to behold these days, since their evilness is what got us here in the first place. Marie Antoinette comes to mind when I see them standing up their in their two thousand dollar suits and expensive leather shoes. Liar, Liar and damned Liar is another one.

The more they try to fix things the worse they get. Any doubt yet that they are not trying to fix things, other than to rig the game for those who are in on the biggest swindle in the history of the world? They must hurry and transfer those dollars to the right people before they crash the current monetary system. This way, they can invest into tangible assets for pennies on the dollar and the heirarchy will come out of this smelling like the proverbial rose.

I’m no prophet and I do not have a crystal ball, but I do know one thing. What cash I can get my hands on these days is invested in equipment that can benefit me in the future, where I don’t have to rely on others to do things for me. I am leaning new skills at every opportunity to help myself and my family in the event all of the dire predictions come to pass. Other money is used to create a food stash which is constantly being rotated.

I cannot begin to stress to you the importance of food independence. Get your house in order now. Even if you don’t have much money, you can still cut corners and buy an extra bag of beans or a small bag of rice to start a small stockpile. Don’t forget fruits and vegetables, if you are trying to make a food stash. Those who control the food are the ones who really have their fingers around the neck of humanity. No matter how much material goods or gold you may have, you cannot eat it. Gold is at some point only going to be as valuable as what it can buy. If food scarcity becomes so dire as to threaten life, people are not going to trade their food, even for gold.

Fluoride cartoon

Ruthless

Inhuman

Monstrous

Twisted

Just a few words that aptly describe the perpatrators of a crime against humanity.

What else can we call the inclusion of toxic waste into our drinking water? Crime against humanity seems to fit the bill.

What toxic waste am I talking about?

Did something accidently get spilled into our rivers?

No

Just in case you missed the caption at the bottom of that cartoon, here it is again

Fluoride is so toxic that it is considered hazardous waste by the EPA.

Wow! What can I say?

Changing Our World With Common Sense

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

By Dictator Hater for the corbett report

It is time to take control of our lives in any way we can. The “Global Food Crisis” whether real or contrived, whether caused by bio-fuel production or by crop blight or commodity futures speculation or even the cost of energy–it makes no difference to you or to me. These causes are, as usual, put forth to us by the New World Government in such a way as to make us feel helpless to do anything about it. The message is the same as always: Bend over and hand me your wallet!

Well, I’ve got news for you. We do not have to buy into that defeatist nonsense and sit back and starve or pay these ridiculously high prices for foods we can grow ourselves. We might not be able to grow rice or corn or even wheat in quantity, but there are other foods that are actually good for us and can be easily grown just about anywhere with a foot or two of space.

The potato is one and is a staple food. Potatoes happen to be a versatile food that can be grown even in a half-barrel if you have no room for a large garden. Look it up online, there are plenty of instructions out there. For the avid gardener this is old news, but for those of you who think you need a “green thumb”, that is just silly. If you have no land on which to grow but have even a small patio that gets some sun, you can grow a few things to offset the prices at the store. The satisfaction of havesting and eating your own produce is also a great feeling. How in the world did we get so far from our (pardon the pun) roots? Educate yourself and grow.

If you are an avid gardener, have plenty of space and neighbors who garden, why not get together with them and form of a co-operative of sorts? Instead of everyone running around giving away tomatoes and zucchini in peak season because everyone has them, why not find out who is growing what and do some trading of food? That way, everyone can have more variety, thus a more diversified base of nutrients.

Do you know how to can food? It’s amazing that when I pick up a can of vegetables at the store it has so many chemicals in it, I can barely read the label. But when I read instructions on canning, say tomatoes, all I need is a bit of salt. Both are unspoiled for a couple of years if canned properly, but it really makes me wonder what these big corporations know that my grandma didn’t. Or maybe they should take a lesson from my grandma. I think it’s probably the latter.

Think canning food is an arduous and complicated process? Well, it’s not and the “hot water bath” method is easier than making a pie.

Freezing food is the easiest of all ways to preserve it. For Pete’s sake, look it up and figure it out and do it now!

If you are not angry about this “sudden food crisis” you damned sure should be. But I always say, why get mad when I can get even? Getting even means beating them at their own game. It’s not illegal to grow your own food–yet.

If you live in one of those places that has a “homeowner’s association”, now might be the time to go to a board of director’s meeting and see about getting some changes made regarding their rules on what can be planted on your property. Of course, if you’ve bought into one of those, your property isn’t your own, especially outdoors and I am sure you realize that by now, if you are not already out on the streets due to foreclosure.

Is there a vacant lot close or next to you? Why not see about growing something on that with permission from the landowner? What about a community garden?

Are you car pooling yet? The days of hair blowing in the breeze and freedom behind the wheel are over except for the most affluent of drivers. Do you realize that if you have one person riding with you, the cost of your gasoline bill goes down to about $1.75 per gallon, just divide your gas bill in half? We haven’t seen those prices in how long? If you can get 2 or even 3 people riding together, gasoline purchases becomes nothing more than an afterthought. It’s kind of like getting on a horse, to him you’re just a hat. Trying to pay these prices alone is a huge burden. And yeah, maybe it’s a bit inconvenient, but much less painful than scrimping on groceries for hungry children.

If you have mass transit that gets you where you need to go on time, I have to ask you this, why are you diving a car to work or anywhere else for that matter?

The New World Government has subtly and not so subtly divided us. How well do you know your neighbors? Do you know them at all? That old saying “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” is more true than ever right now. “Many hands make light work” is an old adage that a good friend of mine likes to remind me of constantly and this is so true. We must become real communities again, get to know each other and help each other out any way we can. “Two Heads Are Better Than One” is another saying that is very fitting at this time. Most of us are so busy trying to make a living all day long and then so busy watching the television at night, we don’t even know who lives next door to us these days.

We must learn to trade skills and get away from the money exchanging as much as possible.

Do you remember how to barter items instead of buying things with paper? This is an almost foreign concept to many people these days. This must be brought back now and re-learned or simply learned by those younguns who’ve never had to exchange goods in this manner.

I keep looking back at my childhood, where coming from a poor family meant doing without a lot of things and simply making do. I used to despise those roots, but now I am thankful for them. It taught me just how little I truly need to not only survive, but to be comfortable while I am surviving.

Do you ever relax by reading a book instead of paying to go to a movie? Books are all but free when purchased used and we do still have libraries. Start making use of the few public services we have left. Go to a free park for a picnic and spend time with your family one on one instead of going to expensive amusement parks where mega conglomerates provide all the entertainment and rob you of your hard earned dollars at the same time.

Do you even own a sewing machine? If you have small children and you are not at least making their summer shorts, which require hardly any material at all and a bit of elastic at the waist, you are throwing your money in the garbage. You can make them cheaper than even Wal-Mart can sell them to you. Stop giving these monsters your money! You can make a pair of shorts in less than an hour. And believe it or not, it’s quite satisfying when you’re done.

This kind of satisfaction is important to the human psyche. At least it is to mine. It lets you know that even though you might not know how to weave cloth on a loom, if you can find fabric, even in the form of used clothing in good shape, you can make clothing for your children. Don’t worry, it will be like brand new if you choose wisely.

Why are we buying everything brand new all the time? Stop feeding the Chinese economy. Buying used goods puts a halt to this, even if the goods originated in China. By buying previously owned items, you are not feeding their industry, you are recycling. You might even find something American made if you look.

I needed a dresser the other day, first thing I did was get online and go to the stores looking for a new one. There’s that New World Government conditioning in action. Even I am not immune to their brainwashing. The cost of what I needed was from $300.00 up to thousands and all were made in China that I found. After sanity kicked in, I went to a used furniture store here in town, found an older dresser in excellent condition that was just what I needed. It was made in the U.S.A and cost me $35.00 plus $10.00 for delivery!

See what we can do when we are practical instead of acting like the spoiled children our government and media has spent years cultivating in order to propagate our consumer driven society and economy? My credit card thanks me for it and so did my husband who pays the bills, not only that, I got a high quality piece of furniture that will last for decades. Stop throwing things away and repair them if you can.

Buy a used bicycle and hitch a couple of baskets to it. If you are reasonably near places you shop and can safely ride your bike, use it instead of your car. You’ll not only save money on gasoline, you’ll get some exercise to boot. Even better yet, learn how to repair them, this might just become a viable trade in the months to come.

Get in shape! A well functioning immune system will keep you out of the doctor’s office and the less pharmaceuticals you consume, the more your internal organs will thank you for it, especially your liver and kidneys.

This doesn’t mean being stick thin, it means feeling good and being able to do the things you would physically like to do. I know people who cannot even carry their own groceries from their car into the house.

Stock up on staple foods now. Prices are going to do nothing but increase and it is now proven that supply and demand are no longer functioning as a precursor or cause for price hikes. Speculation on the markets have doomed us to high prices for years to come. If you believe your wages are going to grow enough to cover this egregious type of inflation, if you are lucky enough to have a job, well you know that old saying about the Brooklyn Bridge.

If you do stock food, just remember it does absolutely no good to store food improperly. You are simply wasting money if you do not know how to store what you have purchased. Again, look it up, there are many websites that will teach you how to store all the different types of staples available.

When stocking up, it does no good to stock flour if you only have water to go with it. Most recipes requring flour also call for milk, eggs and oil.

Coconut oil, unrefined virgin, lasts for years. Other oils will spoil and go rancid.

Buy some powdered WHOLE eggs and powdered milk. Many places sell these on the internet. Again, storage method is key.

Do you smoke? I’m not a cigarette Nazi, I just want to give you a tip on how to stop giving conglomerates your hard earned money. Buy a machine and make your own. Times have changed mightily since the first cigarette rollers were on the market. The ones out there now, selling for around $35.00 work quickly, efficiently and enable you to smoke for around a dollar a pack. All you need are the cigarette filter tubes, the machine and some tobacco. This also enables you to have more control over what you are inhaling into your lungs. Everyone knows by now that cigarette manufacturers are adding chemicals to their tobacco. The machines are well made and will last for a very long time. Why in the world are you still paying all that money for a pack of smokes when you can make your own that taste exactly the same? Depending on how much you smoke, making this change can potentially save you hundreds of dollars each month. I won’t even bother to talk about quitting, that is a purely individual choice and is certainly not any of my business.

Do something to help yourself now!

Bottled water contains disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and pain medication

Authors: Olga Naidenko, PhD, Senior Scientist; Nneka Leiba, MPH, Researcher; Renee Sharp, MS, Senior Scientist; Jane Houlihan, MSCE, Vice President for Research

The bottled water industry promotes an image of purity, but comprehensive testing by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reveals a surprising array of chemical contaminants in every bottled water brand analyzed, including toxic byproducts of chlorination in Walmart’s Sam’s Choice and Giant Supermarket’s Acadia brands, at levels no different than routinely found in tap water. Several Sam’s Choice samples purchased in California exceeded legal limits for bottled water contaminants in that state. Cancer-causing contaminants in bottled water purchased in 5 states (North Carolina, California, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland) and the District of Columbia substantially exceeded the voluntary standards established by the bottled water industry.

Our Food. Safe In Their hands?

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Indulge me for a moment and imagine that you are a small farmer with a family farm.You have planted your seed and tended your crops throughout the growing season.

You are eagerly anticipating the moment when you can harvest your bounty and send it to market.

It’s the moment that you finally get paid for your hard work.

The moment where you thank mother nature for providing  the earth, the warm sun and life giving rain.

Now imagine all of that being taken away, imagine facing not only the loss of this years income but the loss of your entire livelihood.

Imagine being raped and left bleeding by a ruthless monster intent on dominating the entire planet.

Imagine the world carrying on regardless. Ignorant of your suffering. Ignorant of their own fate.

How did the world suddenly turn so dark?

One word.

MONSANTO

Sounds like the name of a demon from the pits of hell doesn’t it?

“The peasants trembled as MONSANTO unfurled it’s leathery wings and screamed with such a fury that the earth trembled…”

Well MONSANTO  isn’t a demon but it may as well be. It is a destroyer of lives and it may well bring about the destruction of us all.

How will the world end. With a bang?

A whimper?

Or with a seed?
