Obummer says we will be leaving Afghanistan in 2014,  by then we will be in a fight with Iran and their reluctant allies China and Russia, Syria will have been smashed just as Libya was.  What will be gained by staying in Afghanistan for two more years?  Answer Scattered permanent  bases, securing of resources for corporations, protecting poppie fields for heroin production and the installation of weapons on its border.  This geographic location through history has been a gem many empires have lusted over, but have always  failed to secure the country.  The military has been there for ten f—ing years the longest American war in our history and most of us know we have been involved in plenty of them.  We may crash on the rocks of this unconquerable country just like the Russians and British before us.

Who is really behind this blood thirsty never ending war making?  Lets start by following the money.  The banks through the Federal Reserve system lend us money they create out of thin air based on debt and we pay the interest through our taxes.  The military industrial terrorism complex gets the bulk of our direct expenditures and the banking system gets the rest through interest on the debt.

The Nobel Peace prize was made worthless the first time by awarding it to Henry Kissinger and then placed around the neck of the Globalist puppet Obama.  Think about it Obama gets elected and the next thing we know, he gets the peace prize, for what, future actions?  This was nothing less than a psychological operation perpetrated against the citizens of this planet.

Why did I title this post illusion?

Because we live in a manufactured reality created by psychopaths and their minions.  They have control over the issuance of our currency by the private Federal Reserve, this private company is not controlled by anyone elected.  It was invented in 1910 by bankers and their lackeys.  J.D. Rockefella, J.P. Morgan, Paul Warburg(English Banker family), Nelson Aldrich(head of finance committee in Congress whose daughter married Rockefellas son)

Since the Federal Reserve Act was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson in 1913 the  dollar has lost 97% of its value. Remember the Fed is not Federal, but a private bank that creates our money from nothing but debt, it has no reserves to back them up and really answers to know one.

This came off the Feds web site, after you read this if you don’t have a question re: their double speak you must be brain dead or in some serious denial.

The Federal Reserve System, often referred to as the Federal Reserve or simply “the Fed,” is the central bank of the United States. It was created by the Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The Federal Reserve was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. Today, the Federal Reserve’s responsibilities fall into four general areas.

• Conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing money and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of full employment and stable prices.
• Supervising and regulating banks and other important financial institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system and to protect the credit rights of consumers.
• Maintaining the stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.
• Providing certain financial services to the U.S. government, U.S. financial institutions, and foreign official institutions, and playing a major role in operating and overseeing the nation’s payments systems.
• 
  
• After reading their mission statement how do you think they have been doing?
• #1 The Fed was in control prior to the Great Depression. Their number one goal is full employment and stable prices. HMMMM The Fed during its tenure has created numerous bubbles and busts, the insiders involved are the ones who benefit while we the herds of sheep lay down, take it in the you know where and give them our taxes to be used to subsidize senseless wars; mono crops such as GMO corn and the rich oil industry.
• Greenspan reduces interest rates insuring an overheated economy creating the bubble that popped in 2008.  Bernanke creates QE1, QE2, and QE3 insuring stealth inflation by flooding the system with cheap dollars all the time saying inflation does not exist.  Almost all commodities are going up except for a mans labor which has not gone up since 1971, coincidentally Nixon took us off the gold standard that same year.
• #2 Supervise and regulate financial system.  This statement is about as fraudulent as it gets.  The five banks and AIG receive a bailout for their own mismanagement and outright theft.  The Fed through Tim Geightner and the New York Fed arranged this theft from we the taxpayers.
• #3 Providing mysterious financial services to the US government(debt servitude), U.S. banking institutions(zero interest for them), and foreign official institutions.  They say they are in charge of it all–come on educate yourself they are the  slave-masters in charge and if you don’t see it try looking.  Why do you think Tim Geightner former head of the New York Fed is the Secretary of The Treasury?  This monster allows for no competing currencies that might be based on something that can not be manipulated.

I won’t go into any more details because good starting information is available online see the Money masters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs or in a good book called the Creature from Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin.  Do your own research remove your blinders. This debt based fiat money systems goal is complete world enslavement.  I can hear some of you snicker at my statement.  So okay you doubters how is the world looking?  Some EU countries are almost in default, the Fed has used our tax payer funds to secretly bail them out.  Remember the banker bailouts of 2008?

Hank Paulson ex Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs director said give them the money or the whole financial system would come down.  Tim Geightner was the head of the New York Fed at the time and now he is head of the Treasury, hes a member of The Council On Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group attendee and sits on the board of the Bank Of International Settlements the central bank of central banks.  The bankers created the world financial collapse and not one involved has gone to jail, does the USA deserve to be called the shinning city on the hill?  Can we call ourselves Free?  The banking system has owned enough of our elected officials and always has going back to Hamilton the first Treasury Secretary.  Wars create debt to the psychopathic bankers and get us to stop looking where we should, but instead at invented chimera enemies.  This debt is an illusion, they do not want it paid back, but to just pay the vig (interest)as in debt to a loan shark.  The managers of the money system are flat out crooks and must be hypnotists because most citizens of this country are under their spell.  This system is as old as the pyramids.

Speaking of curtains we are the ones behind the curtain, why say you, because if you have a pension fund, 401K, or own individual stocks do you ever ask for the value of your holdings to go down?  Hell no you want them to go up, but do you ask them to go up in such a way that this increase does no harm?  Probably not, the CEO gets a major part of his compensation in stock options and they will not be the CEO for ever so they do whatever it takes to make the stocks go up in the short term.  Because we want them to go up we don’t allow ourselves to ask questions such as: by moving production from our country to another what will it do to the people who made the products here, does the corporation pollute, does it utilize slave labor in a tyrannical foreign country that used to be a declared enemy of our state?  Does it make products that will last just past the warranty period?  By the way the large multinational corps have interlocking boards of directors.  Because elected sellouts signed NAFTA and GATT into law (Free trade my ass)in 1994 this allowed the off shoring of manufacturing without any penalty.  Please watch the Charlie Rose interview with Sir James Goldsmith in 1994 towards the bottom of this web site.  I used to be a fan of Clinton until discovering he signed NAFTA, GATT, and was responsible for repealing a law called Glass-Steagle signed into law in 1933 to prevent exactly what happened with the bundling of the credit default swaps by the large six banks.  Its all theater.

The biggest illusion of all is government because it taxes without getting the permission from the ones it taxes regarding how the funds are used, we really have no say.  The Federal Reserve, large multinational corporations, and the five large banks own the government. Listen to this interview and watch the video called the tiny dot for a perspective you are unlikely to have seen before. http://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-radio-055-the-tiny-dot-with-larken-rose/ Taxes are theft especially the ones that come from D.C.(District of Criminality) WE NEVER ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR OUR OWN INTERESTS except at the local level.  If we are please let me know when, because we vote for a politician (poly as in many, tics as in blood sucking parasites) this does not mean we are free or the person who got our vote will operate on our behalf.  It seems every part of government is in the bag of the powerful, the Supreme Court called the vote for Bush over Gore and signed the totally Orwellian Citizens United where any corporation or even a foreign country can give unlimited funds to a politician of its choice without having to report how much or from who. Does this feel like freedom???  WakeTFup!

Governments create false flag terrorism,(False flag (aka Black Flag) operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities.) these false flags enable the government to wage wars on its people and other countries.  What is the Patriot Act, what is Homeland Security, what is NDAA, but Orwellian control methods.  They NEVER divest themselves of their ill begotten  powers, but always desire for more.(0ver 1 million on the payroll of the government with top secret security clearances)WHY??  They must be afraid of us.  Michael Chertof former head of homeland security and other insiders are profiting immensely from the naked body scanners.   Getting Rich from the TSA Naked-Body Scanners

A fact: you are more likely to die from a car crash, bee sting, lightning strike, champaign cork, or from properly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs than from some crazed Koran reader.  The government always has a convenient enemy to grab our imagination such as these, Native Americans, Japan, China, Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, various central and South American countries, and Al Caida(invented by the CIA).  These made up enemies enable the banks, multi national corporations, and the military industrial terrorism complex to wage unlimited wars based on fear.

Fear is the tried and perfected system of control.  The main reason for these wars and occupations is because these countries have resources the corporations want or the banking system needs to establish a beach head.  Remember Muslims do not allow usury(excessive interest) this makes them natural enemies of the banks who control the worlds banking system.  Why do we allow less than 500 people to control us?  Answer: a lifetime of propaganda and mind control.  I could ask 1000 people why we need government and maybe one would say we don’t need it.  They would spew embedded memes like who would educate the kids,(re kids watch this interview by John Taylor Gatto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_CeWip5BpU keep us safe, plow the roads, put out the fires and on and on.  In reality not one of the answers requires government.  All of the things we are brainwashed into believing only the government can do are already being done by people.  There is no reason we need a bunch of so called experts and unelected technocrats running our lives.  The government is a tool of the powers that should not be and always has been.

The elected thespians wrap themselves in the flag and use it as a tool to get us to fall in line behind their charge to invade other countries in the name of keeping us safe.  Soooo you feel good casting your vote in this two party system (duality)where it NEVER gets better, but steadily gets worse, when will you understand that we out number them by millions to one.  We can get our power back by not participating in their system, become conscious, kill their tool of mind control called TEE VEE, do no harm and talk to other humans and I don’t mean talk about football, sports doesn’t  mean a thing in the scheme of  anything important.  Fear is downloaded straight to your brain via the high tech system, some not all of the elected war mongerests now are beating their drums to the tune of wipeout while many here in Prozacastan are in their Rip Van Winkle slumber.  Move your money to a local bank or credit union, don’t shop at Walmart or any other big box store if possible, don’t eat fast food, high fructose corn syrup, chemical sweeteners, get Fluoride out of your water system, don’t eat GMO foods, but raise your own or buy local organic, get healthy and get off pharmaceutical drugs especially antidepressants.  The depth of our own enslavement and self deception is based on a system of social engineering created by masters in this technique.  I have found in talking to my peers that most have no tools to question this system because the system itself is diabolical in how it gets us to blame others or just go along via appathy.  Twelve years of public schooling ensures no ability to question authority and apply critical thinking to what is happening.

When you wake up do not participate in self censorship, but do what you can to wake up others.  You will want to smack people on the head with a 2×4 because the corruption, greed, presstitute lies, constant wars over other countries resources and the creeping police state are so apparent, but that method does not work I guarantee.  Remember we out number them a million to one, imagine if just 10%, 35 million of us turned our backs on this corrupt system, the psychopaths would lose their power and we would get ours back.

ABLE Aware, blind, lost and evil the aware need to take the blinders off the blind and show them how to see, don’t waste time on the lost you know who they are, and my guess is you may have encountered a psychopath or two, but didn’t realize it.  The teevee, main stream press, government regulatory agencies, corporate CEOs, corporate boards, Congress, Supreme Court, Presidency, Council on Foreign Relations(CFR), Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, Secret Societies, Catholic Church and many other CLUBS we will never know the names of are chock full of them. Who Owns The World?

Our city’s over-reaction to a river/bridge installation seems par for the course.  My art partner, Elizabeth Somers,  and I proposed an art installation for a pedestrian bridge located on the Animas River here in Durango CO.   As per the ‘process’  stipulated for such proposals, we contacted the head of Parks and Recreation.  She informed us we would need to present our concept to several (three to be exact) groups/orgs that dealt with river issues.  After a brief presentation there was a motion and a second allowing us to go ahead with the project.

We called the Parks & Rec office approximately three weeks later to inquire after the status of our proposal and were told it was approved by the city council and we could proceed.  We were also told we could keep the installation up for one week.   For the project’s inception we’d always thought in terms of ‘temporary’ and ‘finite’, and we were fine with the weeks allotment.   We also stated that our concept was not final and might change due to the nature of the creative process.  Nothing was put in writing  –  Our mistake for not asking.

Some time after the presentation we decided to collect and weave over 600 cd/dvds into a screen that was intended to represent “We, the people”.  I will say, that in our original proposal, it was not mentioned that a cd ‘screen’ would be part of the installation, nor several other components that we added  after the presentation.  

The installation was completed and up for possibly four hours before six ‘peace officers’ dismantled it.  One week prior to this installation the sewage treatment plant was found to be leaking raw sewage by a kayaker on a Friday up river.  Three hundred thousand gallons of untreated sewage spilled into the river for the entire weekend, but the city did not inform anyone of their malfeasance.

The words “If you lived under here you would be home” to me are a play on the real-estate business, but mainly calling attention to the chasm between the business of selling real-estate and the homeless.

While we were installing the piece an army Vet of twelve years was interested in what we were doing and I asked him about his time in the service.  He said he was in Desert Storm and had PTSD,  but the VA would not believe that his ailments were real.  He gets a very small monthly stipend and at this time is housed, but in the past has been homeless.

I believe our Vets were used as tools in the application of a foreign policy that lines the pockets of very powerful individuals and corporations to the detriment of the entire planet.  (IMO, all wars are deception.)  The most prosperous nation on the face of the earth, on any given night, has over 100,000 homeless Vets.  What does that say about our society and more importantly,  what does that say about each and every one of us?  We allow our elected and non-elected bureaucratic officials to wage non-stop wars, fought in our name.  We allow ourselves to be easily controlled by fear.

This tool is in the playbook of governments going far back in time.  If it’s not the Muslims then it’s the Jews.  If not the Jews, it’s the Christians.  If not the Christians it’s the Mexicans.  If not the Mexicans, it’s the Japanese.  If not him it is you.  It’s time for the human race to realize we are all the same,  and the real enemy is ourselves.

We have to start living in harmony with each other and just as importantly, with the earth that provides for us.  By treating the planet like we have a spare,  the inevitable crash will arrive sooner rather than later.  Maybe the earth is trying to correct the imbalance called Man by all of these climatic changes and wars.   The financial system is killing the planet, any system based on non-stop growth eventually will collapse under it’s own weight.

I thank first and foremost Elizabeth, my partner.   Then  Zoe, Alden, Crystal, Sharon, Summer, Michael, Mike — everyone who provided CDs/DVDs (Sofia via the generosity of The Methodist Thrift) — and the City of Durango and the various river boards for allowing us to install this piece — short-lived though it was.   Also Scott Griggs for his excellent photo documentation.

Bridging Consciousness

Elizabeth Somers & Jeff Madeen

More questions than answers, but if we don?t ask the questions we will never get to the answers.

Why does the wealthiest country in the history of the world on any given night have over 100,000 of its military vets homeless?

Why do we have a defense budget that equals the next 45 countries combined?

Why do the bankers that caused the global economic meltdown get bailed out and receive record bonuses year after year?

Why do 1 percent of the wealthiest people own 50% of all the wealth?

Why does America have the largest prison population on the planet?

American prisons cost us 600 billion per year, who benefits? Who populates these prisons?

Why do 43 million Americans receive food stamps?

Why does the central government get larger every year, but the benefits the average citizen receives, get smaller?

Why are interest rates at a 50 year low, but no one can get a loan?

Why could anyone wanting a loan get one without any money down in the years 2003-2007?

Why do essential commodities such as food and fuel go up yet real wages have not risen since the 70s?

Why does Ben Bernanke (head of federal reserve) say there is no inflation?

Why do we allow a private central bank to control the issuance of our currency?

Why is this currency issuance based on debt?

Why does our country involve itself in almost endless wars? Answer it creates debt.

Why do we have a war on terror? Can it be won? What does a win look like?

Why do our elected officials become millionaires after one term?

Why has the real value of a dollar(what it buys) decreased by 96% since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913?

Who created the Federal Reserve?

Why did we get off the gold standard in 1971?

Why is gold at record highs?

Who did the Federal Reserve lend 16 trillion in low interest loans to?

Why do we allow corporate consolidation so there is only a handful of corporations in any sector?

Why did we allow our manufacturing to go to a country that we used to call an enemy.  This country has worker dorms, limited freedoms, no free speech and no pollution controls?

What is the purpose of QE2-QE3 who benefits?  What does this do to savers?

Why are modern small appliances and communication devises manufactured without replaceable parts?

Why do we allow industrial seed producers to patent their seeds?

Why do industrial food manufactures not have to label foods containing GMO?s?

Why do we subsidize corn production?

Why is there a dead zone not related to the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico the size of New Jersey?

Why do we subsidize oil companies?

Why is the power grid centralized?

Why do we continue to use food production methods that deplete soil at rates well above replacement levels?

Why do government workers put their hands down our pants in airports?

Why did the Supreme Court pass Citizens United?

Why do 106,000 people die per year taking properly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs.

Why do Americans not understand the financial system, why do they think things will get better?

Why do six corporations own every main stream news agency and Hollywood studio, that includes PBS and NPR.

Why does the average American watch four hours of TV programming per day? Why is it called programming?

Why is critical thinking not taught in public schools?

These are only a few of the questions we should be asking ourselves. We the people have to break the control methods and interact with each other to find real solutions.

In June of 2009 I had a stroke related to inadvertently beaning myself with a ‘T’ post pounder, in May, while erecting a garden fence to keep out the local mule deer. This incident changed the way I see the world.  I understand that head trauma typically changes peoples personalities. With me, I found it necessary to try and understand the financial system that melted down in November of 2008, and the web of connected dots that is never talked about in ‘lame stream’ news. Coinciding with my investigation I killed my TV and lost interest in things that don’t “count”,  such as football.

I know many people that feel things are not right, but do not allow themselves because of willful ignorance to pull the curtain away and see the corruption and pure evil that surrounds this so-called democracy we are controlled by.  These people are my friends and they are smart and generally aware in many other ways.  They do not want to question the Government, as being the main problem.  I say this because the Government is a tool that is controlled by powerful corporations and individuals.  In our democracy the elected officials who retire or don’t get re-elected go into the private corporate world and come back as lobbyists.

The Supreme Court, in for life and unelected; the entire current crew scares the crap out of me.                                                                                                                                                  The title of my piece, ‘The Supreme Court Bench’ is based on the ruling  Citizens United which is pure Orwellian doublespeak.

EVERY politician that makes it as the main candidate for President, Congress and Senate in either party is approved by, and funded by the power Elites.  Nothing has changed, no matter the party in power,  since I don’t know when.  The military-industrial-terrorism complex, always gets increases because they play the fear card, best.  The Powers-That-Be (PTB) want us fighting each other or engaged in nonsense, so that we will not see the curtain, let alone what may be behind it.  See this CBS news report,  starring my second favorite Neocon.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4GdHLUHwU&feature=related

After my stroke, 50 years of programming more or less started to fall away.  We are subversively and subliminally propagandized  to think that America is the best country in the history of mankind.  I love this country because of it’s people.  Most want to do good, but others will take until there is nothing left to take or until WE stop them.

Jefferson said,  ’Question your government…’.   If we do nothing how do you think things will end up?  Keep your money in your communities.  Yeah they create it from debt and from nothing,  but to have a chance we all have to become local.

See fascism, corptocracy, plutocracy, kleptocracy, and shills.  These systems do not work so well for the regular honest citizen.

Yesterday, our campaign-promise-breaker-in-chief, (what’s new?) spent the entire morning making his picks for the NCAA B-ball tournament.  The Japanese nuclear reactors meltdown had been unfolding for five days, but I think even more important is what is happening in Libya.  Folks, this is another war we are entering.  Many people will hit the streets and protest the new war, but as in the protests against the invasion of Iraq and the banker bailouts THEY will not pay any attention to us the useless ‘feeders’ (attributed to Henry Kissinger) and do whatever they want.

‘O’ pushes forward 3 billion loan guarantee for two new Nuke power generators in Texas.

General Electric (GE) makes nuke reactors and is a large supplier of weapons of mass destruction to the Pentagon — Duh– and sends plenty of jobs to other countries.  GE pays zero taxes.  General Electric’s CEO, Jeff Immelt,  has been named the new leader of one of President Obama’s economic council.  The council, the recently renamed President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, focuses on the creation of new jobs.  All these names seem to me as Orwellian doublespeak.  What does ‘competitiveness’ mean?

This guy will not create one job in the US,  outside of hiring some new aides.

G.E Moving X Ray Business To China.. Why?

General Electric Co.’s health care unit, the world’s biggest maker of medical imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing.

“A handful” of top managers will move to the Chinese capital and there won’t be any job cuts, said Anne LeGrand, general manager of X-ray for GE Healthcare. The headquarters will move from Wisconsin amid a broader plan to invest about $2 billion across China, including opening six “customer innovation” and development centers.

The division should have “double-digit” growth rates as the country converts from film and analog to digital X-ray technology, LeGrand said.

Who’s money bailed them out, and they are now moving to China? Really? Disgusting.
Remember GE made 14 Billion in declared profits last year and paid zero taxes.

“FORTUNE — Jeff Immelt is pushing the boundaries of his role as CEO of G.E. into one of a global figurehead.”

He is just another narcissistic sociopath who does not care about you.

“Immelt, on the other hand, has been CEO of General Electric (GE,Fortune 500) since 2001, and has worked at the company since 1982–the same year that he graduated with an M.B.A. from Harvard University.”

My add:  What is in the water at Harvard that shits out these guys?  They go from corporations, to the government, to academia,  round and round.  His economic philosophies are based on his knowledge from the company.  GE made the reactors in Japan.  Immelt learnt his corporatist ways at the knees of guys such as Jack Welsh.  For the first time GE has a seat at the table.
