| Anonymous Coward User ID: 17851333  United States02/01/2013 07:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There needs to be a fundamental change in human consciousness. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31804933 I know that sounds all "new agey" and hippy and love everyone... But it's true. The fact is the elite are nothing more than opportunists. They aren't to blame. THE PEOPLE are to blame. WE give them an opportunity, and they take it. It's as simple as that. We all like to point the finger, but WE ARE TO BLAME. Please think about that. Even if you don't agree, just think about it every now and then, next time you want to complain. No government, no religion, no economy, no law can protect against opportunists. Why? Because whenever a society improves itself, it inevitably becomes complacent. If the people did defeat the elite and it was up to the people to establish a new government, which would it be? Dictatorship, democracy, republic, socialism? How would you protect the government against selfish opportunists? The answer: YOU WOULDN'T. Why? Because all people are selfish, greedy, materialistic...and completely out of sync with universal spirit, nature...literally everything outside of "ME". It would be a return to our Constitutional government if anything at all, because that is what all the true patriots want. Otherwise, the fight would never end. And as far as US giving THEM an opportunity and they take it. Well, I was around for the Patriot Act. They didn't read that either, Ron Paul and Kucinich were the only 2 that said NO. We didn't give them the opportunity of 9/11, they gave it to themselves and boy howdy, we're still feeling that one and it's only intensified. I want my government to return to the RULE OF LAW and they don't want to. Most people don't even know what rights they've lost, they're that fucking ignorant. |

It seems like everyone is wanting to pretend as long as they get theirs for just a little longer. Quoting: GodFrequency If government workers, pensioners, and those who receive from the government which is now a majority want to keep pretending, I have finally realized that anyone working for it, saving, or trying to build a future, will have all their labor stolen, and their lives ruined. Yet with a super majority of Americans now hanging on by their fingernails, they are not willing to lose what they believe is entitled to them in a entitlement society I hear many saying the same thing man...they are ready to say fuck it, and go on the dole... The dole isn't meant to be readily available. They want you working and insecure. People think the end will come as a big catharsis and we'll get to start over. That's how they used to be. But now it's more like being ground to dust. And people talk of revolution. Didn't John Lennon sing about that? |

And food, especially if they have children. The problem is that people can't get a life because they can't get a fucking job and you can't move on without money in your pocket. it's not the picture i see, roads are always congested, sign of prosperity, the reality tv shows, show fat belly's tells me food is plentiful most americans live in very nice homes big driveways, detached, spotlessly clean,; unlike here in the uk, congested, unhappy people, taxed to the eye balls, yet people seem to have money for fags, beer, football, car, mortgage, food, bills, savings, kids, school, sound like everyone is doing okay It's the same here.

^WatchMan^  User ID: 33398081 United States02/01/2013 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Believe it or not, reading this thread actually makes me feel relieved in a way. I've been wondering lately if I'm the only person feeling the way you are describing. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having trouble and wondering how long the storm is going to last. I honestly hope things change soon, but am also mentally prepared for this way of life to last a long time. I haven't given up on my dreams, although I've scaled my expectations down. Just gotta keep trying, and focusing on the positive things in life, even if they seem scarce. The way I see it, all that really matters is being a good person. Most of the people around me have given up on money; thus, love and respect are more valuable than a big bank account. Quoting: Wrastlor there are millions of hardworking , enterprising americans that are experiencing this. ...in varying degrees. the economy is visibly fragile. All that are making money right now KNOW that this won't last much longer. i'm tired myself. I've been self employed all of my life and it takes more effort to find work than it does to do the contract once I have it. .. the stock market is reaching all time highs. !??WTF? conflicting stories ...employment up? employment down? we've entered another recession? the recession ended in 2010? ... this sham will end soon. but for most of us hardworking, honest people, not soon enuf. I've seen this country when it was based on principles THAT DO NOT RESEMBLE ANYTHING LIKE IT IS TODAY SO DON'T FUCKING TELL ME THAT 'IT'S STILL BETTER THAN OTHER NATIONS!'. i've been to many other countries...they've always been fucked up...THE U.S. WAS THE LAST BASTIAN OF FREEDOM...NOW THE HOPE IS OVER. .. the majority of the U.S. population 51% or so..now prefers security over freedom, prefers lying over the truth, prefers money without work, prefers the superficial over core morals, prefers selishness over selflessness...etc etc... and this means the demise of the nation because the MAJORITY will now support the insane plan to destroy this nation. a few people coming together in small groups...is the only thing that will be rational.. Big dittos to both of you I'm simply stunned at what's going on in this world. Just zaps my energy and soul... I"ve been considering forming an 'intentional community' for several years...but finding like minded people is very difficult. The most difficult part is the finances. How to make a living after the relocation. Money does get in the way. It would be easy if I were single...then anything is possible...but with a family, it becomes more complex. It has been said that the Mountains of the appalachians or Rockies will be the only place where 'relative peace' will exist in small groups/communities. anyone interested in talking further? Any Hard working, honest, moral people out there? ?? Last Edited by DOOM WALKER on 02/01/2013 08:05 PM |

I had big dreams to travel the world someday. Now I'm broke and too disheartened by all the TSA crap at the airports to want to fly anywhere. It seems there is nothing to look forward to anymore but the drudgery of trying to come up with enough money to get by every month. I try to keep positive for my kids, but they have no idea how far in the hole I am now. All I wanted was to give them a good childhood. |

Then there will be a gigantic repeat---a post 2008 meltdown, occurring on multiple levels....just like what really triggered 2008, the Russians sudden invasion of Georgia in August of that year. "soon" = starts end of March, proceeds & intensifies in April/May/June...the cast of characters are all set. Plus, from an astrological standpoint the planets line up just like Fall '08, except this time much, much more deadly....all hosted by ever deadly Mars in Taurus, with a backdrop of the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) in their worst sign placements possible, and transiting critical placements in the natal charts of the USA, China, the EU, and NYC. It's a seriously unholy culmination of human folly. Why it works: dark matter/energy in the universe is directly tied to human consciousness, some phycists think the universe itself is conscious, and the dark m/e is a direct clue. anyhow astrology has given us a 5000 yr old system of observation & analysis.

Quoting: GodFrequency It's destroying what jobs I use to have coming in. It's destroyed my industry. It's bailing out the rich through QE welfare candy for wall street, and foodstamp cellphone candy for the poor. Meanwhile the gap is growing, and we are all getting weaker. Yet, everyone I talk to says don't do anything, I've listened for the last three years as one dooms day prediction after another has come and gone. Every time I think the elite are about to be dethroned Icelandic style, they break a law that is totally ignored, never prosecuted, and allows them to keep the charade going for another couple months. Bailouts, money creation, theft like MF Global, laundering money like HSBC, and yet no one goes to jail. I've come to understand that TOO BIG TO FAIL means one thing, it means the destruction of the middle class, and the strip mining of our nation. So many people have lost everything, many others are struggling, and yet even more are cheating, or turning to criminal activity just to survive, including the states that have legalized everything lately except for prostitution. I have no more dreams, and I was a dreamer. There is no future, they've taken that away. Care for some cheese with that whine?

Even though Sandy Hook failed, they "overlooked" that and rolled ahead anyway. It's a fun sport to debunk these things and expose the naked emperor, but it seems only to elicit stronger repression.

We have to keep trying to wake people up. Nobody likes to be wrong, and everybody has a need to be right. If you can make just one single person question their current worldview, you've made an enormous (but thankless) contribution to the advancement of mankind. We have to keep at it. We have more power now than ever with the Internet. The sheep keep using it for football and celebrities, but as soon as those who consistently question every single thing deemed "official" becomes the majority, we will then have significant change for the better on this planet. You can't fool a wise and constantly thinking public. The old corrupt systems will fall. They have no choice. How could a government possibly take away the rights of an intelligent public?

Dude I'm with ya been saying the same shit. They're so worried about gun .... O O O the little kids ... but its OK to suck a baby out of your vag Carbide |

We have to keep trying to wake people up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31804933 Nobody likes to be wrong, and everybody has a need to be right. If you can make just one single person question their current worldview, you've made an enormous (but thankless) contribution to the advancement of mankind. We have to keep at it. We have more power now than ever with the Internet. The sheep keep using it for football and celebrities, but as soon as those who consistently question every single thing deemed "official" becomes the majority, we will then have significant change for the better on this planet. You can't fool a wise and constantly thinking public. The old corrupt systems will fall. They have no choice. How could a government possibly take away the rights of an intelligent public? The public would laugh in the face of the public servants, and the old systems of corruption will simply no longer be relevant. Knowledge is the ultimate power. I just hope I live to see that day. Yes I'll probably keep at it too. Because it's the natural thing to do. It feels like less of a waste of time and food than many other things I could be doing. And when GLP bans me, we seem to get a power outage within a week or 2, my IP changes and I am back on here.  |

It seems like everyone is wanting to pretend as long as they get theirs for just a little longer. Quoting: GodFrequency If government workers, pensioners, and those who receive from the government which is now a majority want to keep pretending, I have finally realized that anyone working for it, saving, or trying to build a future, will have all their labor stolen, and their lives ruined. Yet with a super majority of Americans now hanging on by their fingernails, they are not willing to lose what they believe is entitled to them in a entitlement society I hear many saying the same thing man...they are ready to say fuck it, and go on the dole... Have you guys tried to join your local militia yet? The constitutions of most of our States and the United States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press. -Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Cartwright, June 5, 1824 |
Nice try derailing us into racism Shill.
