UNFILTERED OPTIMIZABLE AFFORDABLE

 

Pushing the lies theme .with some plain speak

Through a devolving web of greed, self-serving power and a departure from fundamental ethics, Western culture has, over the last hundred years, become the counterfeit culture.

 

Nothing is real anymore -- not the food, not the money, and certainly not the evening news. And because it's not real, it's not sustainable. That's why it's headed for collapse, which is all too real, as many people are about to find out.

 

In the mean time, here are some observations about the counterfeit culture in which we all frustratingly find ourselves. It's all about corporations, governments and institutions being "in the business of" counterfeiting something -- faking something or pretending to create something of value when they really aren't. Ring a bell?

 

 

The Counterfeit Culture

The Federal Reserve is in the business of counterfeiting money.

 

The mainstream media is in the business of counterfeiting news.

 

The pharmaceutical industry is in the business of counterfeiting medicine (Biopracy! They are stealing molecules from nature then counterfeiting their own patented variations.)

 

The medical schools are in the business of counterfeiting medical degrees. (When a doctor graduates from medical school, he still knows virtually nothing about nutrition.)

 

Doctors are in the business of counterfeiting false medical authority.

 

The mega-sized food corporations are in the business of counterfeiting food. (Processed cheese food product, anyone?)

 

The global consumer product companies are in the business of manufacturing counterfeit consumer products such a "baby oil" (which is really a petroleum product).

 

Social networks like Facebook are in the business of counterfeiting friends. (Please LIKE this article, okay?)

 

Cookie-cutter home builders are in the business of constructing counterfeit homes out of plywood, styrofoam and sheetrock... many these homes will not be standing in just 20 years.

 

Local city councils are in the business of counterfeiting power. (Obey or be punished!)

 

Public schools are in the business of counterfeiting school diplomas. (Huh? What? Who needs to learn how to write, anyway?)

 

The Pentagon is in the business of counterfeiting war. (Don't have a war to fight? Bomb the World Trade Center and blame it on someone!)

 

Mainstream historians are in the business of counterfeiting history. (Everything you were taught about history in public school is a lie...)

 

The globalist banksters are in the business of counterfeiting debt. (You thought it was money, didn't ya? But it's really just debt.)

 

 

And yet, things that are REAL are called fake

A man who recently stamped his own gold coins -- out of real gold -- was raided and arrested by the U.S. Treasury Department which announced that his GOLD coins were "counterfeit!" (The Warning Signs...)

 

After the drug companies stole the lovastatin molecule from red yeast rice to create their own statin drugs, the FDA tried to ban all red yeast rice as a dietary supplement, claiming it contained "counterfeit statin drugs." (http://www.naturalnews.com/030010_d...)

 

When the alternative media like NaturalNews and Infowars publishes real news that nobody else will publish, it's called "fake" by the corrupt, openly bought-and-paid-for mainstream media (the OLD media).

 

 

Real is fake, fake is real

That's how the world works today, folks: Things that are REAL -- herbal medicine, gold coins, truthful journalism -- are all called FAKE.

 

Meanwhile, things that are FAKE -- the money supply, pharmaceutical medicine, myths of U.S. history and justification for war -- are all called REAL.

 

No wonder most people feel like their world has been turned upside down. But there's an easy way out: When you see someone from the government moving their lips, and words are coming out, there's no need trying to figure out whether what they're saying is REAL or FAKE.

 

It's all simpler than you think: If their lips are moving, then what they're saying is REALLY FAKE, and you can leave it at that.

REAL TIME FROM $50 / MO

FAST MARKET DATA

 

To begin with, every sane adult on the face of this Earth has to hang their heads in shame and admit that the current system of interconnected globalization and credit-based economies governed by monopolistic fractional reserve central banking entities in concert with the valueless fiat paper they peddle as units of exchange - has UNEQUIVICALLY FAILED, and CANNOT BE RESUSCITATED for any meaningful period of time.

Some EW idiot named Navigator… I’m wishing it were some ‘smart’ guy like BHObama saying that…

 

What will I have in the back of my mind when I read the transcript of the jobs speech coming up tonight? *

>Will the plan lead to more government involvement in ‘employment’ or less?

To make it easier, I might be asking “What would Ron Paul do?”

MSNBC distorts post-debate poll results to falsely depict Ron Paul as just barely winning

 

>Will oBama say/do anything to really get gov’t out of the way or show he’s out of bed with his biggest backers – the ‘banksters’?” (Actually they aren’t backers – they own him)

… and speaking of being owned - oh boy, did he ever pull one over on the ‘workers’ on his Labor Day speech(es – transcript of 2011’s virtually indistinguishable from 2010’s, etc hm ???). From the 2011 Labor Day speech “The union movement is going to be at the center of it”… “it” being this most beautiful ‘rebuilding’ (watch out for the code words!). The great ‘middle class’ he emphasized so often in his labor day speech(es) is the real target of his control urges – one of the major big tangled lies. Like, the ‘workers’ in Russia were promised pensions. Early ‘workers’ got them. Later ones didn’t. Obama’s ‘workers’ / labor are promised pensions in exchange for votes. Maybe somebody should tell them – the pensions of their young and middle age workers have no chance of ever being paid out. They are allowing themselves to be used

(…and he might have had some trouble reconciling the ‘worker’ bullshit his grandparents taught him with the path his owners have him on now - were he not a narcissist. Narcisists just mentally polarize to one extreme and everyone else be damned…)

Control of what? It started with the domestic auto industry, where they placed the ‘leadership’ of the workers ie labor unions in charge – temporarily. Next targets include, most likely, the energy industry and forced ‘organizing’ of the construction industry… no new project, private or public, will henceforth go forward unless it’s union. “vote note to self - must make it up to them for not getting ‘card check’ through when I had the chance…”

 

> Oh, remember those 'shovel ready' jobs from the 2008 stimulus biglie-speeches? Shouldn't some of those 'shovel ready' jobs really be ready to go now? Those 43,000 new bureaucrat (voters ) hired for 'the program' should have all the paperwork for those projects done now and they should be ready to roll... first ads to go out - union organizers. Tonight, will he announce more jobs we can 'believe in'?

 

>Will he propose anything to substantially change the ‘competiveness’, on a global level, of US tax code – so that structurally it becomes feasible to have some domestic production increase again, instead of exporting more jobs than even exist?

 

> Will he 'rollback' some of the limiting regulations? ... at least until after the election?

 

>Will he propose more job training programs? You know, the bloated multiple layers of ‘programs’ that at best, are just a plain old waste of money; and at worst, entitlement indoctrination camps – paid for by taking some of your time, life, money…

(Speaking of your life, time, and money…

There Are More Slaves Today Than At Any Point In Human History

I personally now include the taxpayers of the US as slaves… For one, try getting out of the ‘slavery. As I have now paid the price and can speak with some authority, “getting out” is more expensive now than ever in the history of this country… and there a no underground railroads for us…)

 

... Some of the code words I'll be watching for

"reasonable people"

"infrastructure bank" - code for more debt. Hello, once in deficit all further spending is deficit spending

"revenue" = taxes

"middle class"

...there's more, but I've gone blank...Thought this little rant was going to be a break from some very intense trading...sorry it rambles... All the best, zdo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*I’m sorry people, but I can not stand to watch a narcissist work… so I will do something else with my time than and read the transcript later…

The crux of Obama’s campaign speeches since the kickoff speech to Congress is -

“we have plenty of jobs to be done, we have plenty of workers to do them… (if you love me) help me pass my jobs bill”

Sanskrit translation -

‘We’ have plenty of jobs that we need done. We have plenty of potential socialists to do them. Now pass this bill so ‘we’ can tax and borrow to pay for it…

 

Revealing that every green, etc corporation he uses for an arena in these campaign speeches is still shipping more jobs overseas than they are hiring domestically...

guess donations are more important than truth...

… Obama’s more immediate re-election ‘must do’ is an (apparent) hard right turn to the middle. Don't be fooled, though...

It’s impending… coming to many video bites and speeches near you.

Promises of regulation rollbacks, spending reductions, less biased comments about the middle east, etc. ... but he just won't be able to control his jibber jabbering about the 'middle class families', and 'workers' and 'job creation' ... (one more time - any politician (from either 'side') who utiltizes the concept of 'job creation' is LYING! )

Anyways, he’ll never get to soundin’ like Barrack Hussein O’Bachman of course…

and we will have to lay off the Sanskrit translator and hire one from eastern Europe…

This is not new news but -

part of his upcoming media supported facade of 'turning to the middle' will likely be acts congruent with

Top Democratic Strategist: Obama Will Lose the Election Unless He Prosecutes Wall Street Fraud and Fires His Crony Capitalist Advisers

 

...But where will he find replacement 'workers'* more competent than the 'leaders' he'll have to fire?

Maybe he won't fire anyone, just add more positions and move them all around, etc?

 

* (yes 'workers' not workers - there aren't that many good 'workers' around ... and he can't risk hiring many workers - culture clashes, fights, moral conflicts, what not...)

 

re his Crony Capitalist Advisors - They'll have to just change some titles... he could 'fire' some of the underlings, but many of them were placed there to supervise him...

so he can't fire 'them' ... he is their's ie he literally belongs to them

All of the symbols employed by Hemingway add to premise that life is an endless struggle with illusory rewards. In order to achieve nobility in life, a person must exhibit bravery, poise, courage, patience, optimism, and intelligence during the struggle. Then, even if the prize is lost, the person has won the battle, proving himself capable of retaining grace under pressure, the ultimate test of mankind. Ron Paul’s life is a shining example of grace under pressure. He has single handedly battled his great fish (Big Government, Big Finance, Big Military) for four decades with no helpers and many detractors. His journey is nearing its end. But it isn’t how it ends that matters. The journey is what separates the noble lion (Ron Paul) from the hyenas (corrupt politicians) and jackals (media). Ron’s message will not die. His son will carry the torch. The young people who have been inspired by his words and example will carry the torch. All of our lives will end the same way. The lesson to be learned from Ron Paul is how we should live our lives. The ideologically myopic pundits that pass for the intelligentsia in the mainstream media scornfully declare that Ron Paul has no chance of winning, when all critical thinking citizens recognize that he has already won. They can destroy him, but he will not be defeated.

UNLEASH YOUR TRADING POTENTIAL

Trade what and when and how you want

 

This post is intended to get you thinking a little bit about fiat money and the inevitable financial and moral hazards it brings

 

...Regulators still don’t know what’s happening on the Street. They have no clear picture of the derivatives exposure of giant U.S. financial institutions.

 

Which is why Washington officials are terrified – and why Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner keeps begging European officials to bail out Greece and the other deeply-indebted European nations.

 

Several months ago, when the European debt crisis first became apparent, Wall Street banks said not to worry. They had little or no exposure to Europe’s problems. The Federal Reserve said the same. In July, Ben Bernanke reassured Congress the exposure of U.S. banks to European nations in trouble was “quite small.”

 

Now we’re hearing a different tune.

 

Make no mistake. The United States wants Europe to bail out its deeply indebted nations so they can repay what they owe big European banks. Otherwise, those banks could implode — taking Wall Street with them.

 

One of the many ironies here is some badly-indebted European nations (Ireland is the best example) went deeply into debt in the first place bailing out their banks from the crisis that began on Wall Street.

 

Full circle.

 

In other words, Greece isn’t the real problem. Nor is Ireland, Italy, Portugal, or Spain. The real problem is the financial system — centered on Wall Street. And we still haven’t solved it.

Behind Europe?s Debt Crisis Lurks Another Giant Bailout Of Wall Street Banks - BlackListedNews.com

Hm…?????? “The real problem is the financial system — centered on Wall Street” ???

Wrong! The real problem is not the financial system. The real problem is the money system the financial system is built on.

Although the current money system is crumbling on schedule, those who know how are prepared to build another one – provided they are accepted again by a population too immature to understand what true capital and individual sovereignty is…

The Truth Is Going Global (October 21, 2011)

 

 

A chance encounter with a night clerk in Paris offers insight into the power of truth and the World Wide Web.

Amidst the endless flood of propaganda ("there is no recession, Europe is about to fix all its problems in one fell swoop, a new Bull market is underway," etc.) a trend of long-term importance is emerging: the truth is going global.

 

By the "truth" I refer not to some eternal truth, but to an understanding that the financial model presented by the Status Quo as "reality" is in fact an illusion that serves the interests of those controlling massive concentrations of wealth and political power. Simply put, the present-day financial Status Quo is unsustainable, and it will devolve or collapse under its own weight of internal instabilities and lies.

 

There is no way to track how many people around the world are awakening to the understanding that everything that the mainstream media presents to them as financial reality is a distortion aimed at managing their perceptions and gaining their passive acceptance of the Status Quo as "good for you" or at least "permanent."

 

Thus all we have is anecdotal evidence of the sort I am going to present.

 

Earlier this week, I was standing in the cool pre-dawn darkness outside the small hotel that had been "home" for this visit to Paris, waiting for the airport shuttle. The night clerk of the hotel, a young man in his mid to late 20s, was kind enough to join me. (I will call him by his first initial, C.) C. was conversant in English, and spoke in a measured, friendly tone.

 

Just as a point of conversation, I asked about France's rugby team, which had been in the news for its win over Britain's team. He replied that he didn't follow sports much, and then he referred to ancient Rome's technique of using "bread and circuses" to distract its people.

 

Woah. Bread and circuses? This was not the response I expected. With a bit of encouragement, C. then went on to describe how "banksters" (his word) dominated the governments in both the U.S. and Europe, how the mass media was incapable of reporting the truth, and how people were blind to this manipulation of their opinion.

 

I asked him how he had learned all this, and he replied, "The Internet." He had learned all this from American websites and blogs.

 

With no further prompting from me, he went on to describe Roosevelt's confiscation of private gold in the 1930s, and how a plot of good land and house in the countryside might be the ultimate hedge when things fell apart. He suggested that gold would the basis of a new money, but only after the Elites had bought it up/made it illegal for commoners to own.

 

This young man did not know I was a writer/blogger; to him, I was just the brother of a regular customer of the hotel.

 

I asked if he had studied economics in university, and he said no, but a friend of his did, and that his friend was only learning how to indoctrinate the next generation of students with the Status Quo model.

 

Is C. a rarity or one of a growing number of young people around the world who "get it"? There is no way to know, but we do know this:

 

1. English is the international language that every educated person must learn

 

2. U.S.-based websites are available everywhere in the world except where they are actively blocked, i.e. China, etc.

 

What is truth and what is illusion? Ultimately, we organize the chaos around us into models that explain the behavior we observe. If the model no longer makes sense of the world we see, then eventually we abandon it for a model which does a better job of matching the reality we observe.

 

The Status Quo model of financial reality no longer makes sense of the real world, and so the Status Quo has been forced to manipulate our perception via statistical legerdemain, manipulated markets and coordinated "perception management" via the corporate media.

 

As I write this, the stock market appears to be breaking out to new highs on the "news" that Germany and France "agree" and that a complete "fix" of the Eurozone's multiple financial morasses is close at hand. The presumption is, of course, that maintaining the financial Status Quo will usher in a global Bull Market of epic proportions, with a global resurgence of confidence and prosperity to follow.

 

Truth or illusion? We know it is illusion being presented as truth. But if the audience believes the magic, then is it true? How many young people have gazed behind the curtain and seen through the trick? We don't know, but the number may well be rising faster than the Status Quo realizes.

charles hugh smith-The Truth Is Going Global

 

If we could get an accurate poll of the 10's of thousands of TL members, what % do you think would be still framed into, immersed in, (and dialoguing to the tunes of) the "Status Quo" ?

Anecdotally judging from the way money is discussed herein (or not), I would estimate over 95% are still bought into / sold into / whatever that old paradigm ...

 

and, btw, don't get sucked in by 'protester' content ... it's a wing of the lies!

 

Have a great weekend all.
