Today the Western peoples are experiencing the destruction of their well-being that is comparable to what the one percent in Rome imposed on Roman citizens and conquered peoples. Here is how John Williams (shadowstats.com, 9-12-12) phrases the wipeout of Americans’ hopes:
“Consumers simply cannot make ends meet. Inflation-adjusted, or real, median household income declined for the fourth-straight year, plunging to its lowest level since 1995. Deflated by the CPI-U, the 2011 reading actually stood below levels seen in the late-1960s and early-1970s.”
“At the same time, despite the ongoing nature of the economic and systemic-solvency crises, and the effects of the 2008 financial panic, income dispersion—the movement of income away from the middle towards both high- and low-level extremes—has hit a record high, instead of moderating, as might be expected during periods of financial distress. Extremes in income dispersion usually foreshadow financial-market and economic calamities. With the current circumstance at a record extreme, and well above levels estimated to have prevailed before the 1929 stock-market crash and the Great Depression, increasingly difficult times are likely for the next several years.”
This chart shows where the median household income of the US Superpower, the “indispensable people,” stands at the culmination of 2011. Americans are as well off as they were in 1967-68. Most Americans cannot pay for fighting multi-trillion dollar wars for 11 years, bailout trillions of dollars in uncovered casino bets by Wall Street, have their middle class jobs sent abroad by corporations, and still expect to have higher personal incomes.
Apparently, Americans are the first people in history who are so idealistic, or so thoroughly brainwashed, that they prefer to pay for wars and bail out banks than to make their mortgage payments and help their children with student loan debt.
The federal court in Germany has ruled that Germans are to be just as idealistic as Americans. The federal court has produced a ruling that it is OK for the EU to require German citizens to provide $190 billion to pay off the private banks who lent too much money to Greece.
In exchange for paying off the banks for Greece, the Greek people are to be driven into poverty and hopelessness. Pensions are cut, taxes are raised, employment is cut, social services are curtailed, prices of utilities are raised. The Greek people are to be destroyed in order that the private European banks do not lose money on their bad loans.
In the West the Revolution From Above has succeeded. The peoples are re-enserfed. The promised land is a promised land for the one percent.
The U.S. national debt was $16,011,458,217,202 about 5 minutes ago.
There are not enough resource-rich countries to invade in order to solve this predicament, not that the loot would go to pay public debt anyway.
How can the 1% be protected from the inevitable outcome? One might think that signs of growth for police state-related industries would be escalating.
I am writing to give credit where it is due. Despite my reluctance, I ended up applauding your insight, Mr. Roberts. Americans are idealistic well beyond the boundaries of sound judgement. As I thought about what you said, it ocurred to me that, all one really has to do is slap a label of loyalty, honor, duty, freedom, or patriotism onto some activity, and Americans will support that activity every time, guaranteed. We’re at war right now. Though, to our credit, we haven’t supported this war in years, and have been amazingly vocal about that. Im saying it again.
Americans have been dragged into one war right after another since our inception, before the ink had time to dry on Constitution parchment. At no time, however, did we vote whether or not to support any of those wars, which means that your statement that we support wars is a baseless accusation, and the democratic process bears this out. Others, claiming to speak on our behalves, make those decisions. We were never asked – not once. So, after reading that Americans might be the most idealistic civilization in history, that brainwashing statement hit home like a dagger. I gave serious thought to what you said. What would it take for a citizenry to remain so unbelievably patriotic that their patriotism would sustain them through that much pain and loss?
Do you know the best way to win a war, Mr. Roberts? Never let your opponent know that they are in one.
Our real enemies cannot be abroad. The inconvenient truth is, our government are the only ones with the means, motive, and opportunity to pull this off. A set of ideals must be preconceived before they can be followed. That proves prior knowledge and premeditation, while the sneakiness required to accomplish it defines the intent as malevolent. The incredible diversity of the human race, the inborn capacity for evolution, as well as the instinct to survive, guarantees that these techniques were applied covertly. In order to stave off natural evolution, reinforcement must be applied throughout one’s life, at least to the military drafting age of 18 years.
There is no built-in aspect in ANY species, that destroys without cause. Brainwashing is covert victimization. Such effort must be unrealized by the recipients for them to work. Hence, those efforts are so successful that you defined our resulting behavior as “thorough”. Forget bail outs, they aren’t even in the same ball park with this. Americans’ internal warning systems have been completely disabled; they can’t even recognize danger, to secure their own survival. 314 million Americans, all sharing exacting ideals, and with such fervor, is classic behavior modification.
These efforts even eclipsed even the love parents have for their children. It got the entire U.S. population to place allegiance to country over their own families. Indeed, it is strong enough to override even the basal instinct of self-preservation. Such is the power of labels. Put another way, if this were bacterial rather than psychological, it would have been declared a devastating and sustained global pandemic, and a vigorous search for Typhoid Mary would immediately ensue. I can see why that never happened. When it comes to war and country, how else can one get billions to willingly sacrifice everything, including their own children?
I agree with your assessment, Mr. Roberts. This is classic textbook brainwashing.
We still strive to evolve despite every effort made to ensure that we don’t. Clearly, no one would choose this, and we didn’t have any say. The irony is, you just publicly smeared Americans, and had to misappropriate blame in order to do it. Did you learn that at the Treasury department? I must point out that your contempt is toward us…..the ones who’ve supplied you with your paychecks and supported your lifestyle for years.
We act when we can, Mr. Roberts. It’s why you received this letter. We have our issues. Nevertheless, we were able to evolve beyond blaming victims and turning a blind eye to predatory behavior. We look forward to the day you’ve advanced far enough along to join us as a productive member of society.
