DELUSIONS
This could get lengthy, so pull up a chair and your favorite beverage.
Within the past several years, there have been global as well as local changes, regime change, and business changes. There's been so much change that very few have been able to see that the course has shifted... not just personally... not just locally... not even nationally... but globally.
These are PERMANANT changes to the course of both history and humanity - for quite some time.
Personally, I've seen just about every change imaginable. Many times, I am surprised I am still standing. But, at least I am! On a personal level, I think that - as many changes have occurred - ten times as many are on the horizon.
With the economy in constant flux, the very first thing you need to do to survive is doubt EVERYTHING any elected official tells you. MOST of those people in the current REGIME have never WORKED for a living. They're career politicians - suck ups who look for appointments when they can't get elected - or - elected to an alternative office when they can't get appointed.
NONE of them have held a WORKING SECTOR job and wouldn't last past their probationary period if they did find themselves working in the real world. Most of their radical supporters haven't worked in the real world, either. They are mostly lesser based politicians (local lifetime political hacks), or actors, activists, tenured professors, most media and union thugs. Without the working class seeing their movies - supporting their causes, attending their classes or supporting them through union dues, watching their miniscule gossip-casts - NONE of these maladjusted assholes would exist! NONE of them have real world experience and therefore you must also discount anything they say as relevant also!
Once you do that - the smoke of bullshit they've fed us for the past 60 or so years begins to clear. The reality that you begin to see may become frightening.
Why do I blashpeme the new premier's order? Because I still can. Soon, however, my rants will have to be in pamphlet form - not all that dissimilar to the hand outs of 250 years ago, when Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin wrote. The internet will soon be as swiftly monitored and regulated to the point where opposing views will be silenced, squelched or just plain erradicated.
The whitewashing arm of the order - aka the media - has been attempting to silence the "tea party" movement and ridicule them or dismiss them as right wing kooks. Kind of like "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" .... in order to distract us long enough while the socialization of the USSA takes hold. Remember: The root word in "Community Organizer" is COMMUNE.... which is also the ROOT WORD IN COMMUNISM!
So - why pursue this line of thinking?
I never drank the premier's kool aid. I knew he was a socialist from the get go. ... Before he was the appointee. (oops, I mean the nominee. , I have to remember he was "elected". Yeah, and ACORN did nothing wrong, either. More dead people and fictitious people voted for the premier than voted for Kennedy!).
But I digress....
What makes me think I know more than they do?
Uh... gee... let me think for a nano-second. Let's see....
I'm gonna go with the 30 years of business experience I have and if need be, I'll elaborate here - but I doubt you'd care that much to read it.
I've been:
an Insurance Agent; an Insurance Sales Rep; A Mortgage Account Exec; A Loan Officer; An Underwriter; A Processor; A Title Sales Rep; A Notary Public; A Realtor; A Notary Signing Agent; A Business Owner. I've seen light-years worth of changes in Insurance; Business; Brokering; Banking and Mortgage regulation changes. All were supposed to "fix the problem".
The problem is this: KNOW NOTHING Politicians who dabble in business when they haven't a clue what the regulations they are writing will do. In essence, you have lawyers who can't banance their own check books running the financial system. Their own regulations that were supposed to fix the alleged problems 15 years ago came back and bit everyone in the ass recently... and we can't even hold them accountable.
The GOVERNMENT - from the top oraface on down... needs an enima and eeds to be flushed out.
I'm doing my part. I'm starving the beast of it's tax dollars. I sent back my loan officer's license; sent back my real estate license; sent back my LLC and am working as inconspicupusly as possible as a notary - which is exempt from alternative minimum tax. So once I write off all my expenses, I pay no taxes to BUB (the Big Ugly Beast - aka the government(s)... state or fed). I will not support this socialist regime with my tax dollars!
They simply have no clue.
They release press statement after press statement that is filled with more crap than a freshly manured field. They think the press said it - so therefore it must be true and therefore the pions must believe in it. They're so far removed from reality that virtually every "STIMULOUS" package they've allegedly spent hasn't stopped unemployment from rising, foreclosures from rising or people in the USSA who are under-employed - or simply stopped looking.
The regime is so far removed from reality that they ignore the increasing numbers of those who've STOPPED LOOKING for jobs; those who went back to school learning meaningless, make-work positions for non-existant jobs; and those who finished school and have NEVER found work. I personally know many in all those catagories!
Forget the facts that Realty Track said April was another record foreclosure month. Forget the fact that Ohio has an unemployment rate that is over 150% of what it was when the premier was indoctrinated just 15 months ago. Forget the fact that there are more boarded up buildings - both residential as well as commercial - in virtually every American City than there were before the premier took the throne.
Personally, I have stripped myself down... completely eradicating all debt save for my car; and eliminated all possible luxuries - home phone - tanning - entertainment - and have even foregone food at times. I am erasing myself from all of society. I even looked for other ways to make CASH MONEY.... For example:
I used to think that I could jump back into playing the drums - and doing so weekly like other bands I had begun seeing. Many musicians said it was how they financed stuff without having to pay tax.
But then, as my band viewing and friendships grew, I saw the over abundance of like minded individuals who, like me, wanted to make money under the table. I also saw and heard from bar owners, struggling to make ends meet, who had to downsize their entertainment budgets - or simply "stiff" the bands in order to keep the doors open.
The band members are living on a shoe-string budget and are forced to supplement their income by takig less money and playing out more. That floods the market for newbies like me. The bar owners are forced to downsize the bands or charge a cover, which doesn't go over well in many of these urban, rat-hole bars.
No, this is NOT a way to supplement your income.
I'd be better suited by spending my money on firearms and ammunition. At least I could use that for hunting.
I think Americans better wise up to the fact and become - each of themselves - MORE self reliant. I am. I will have to get used to squirrel and 'possum. Grow my own survival garden while squatting on a corner of someone else's abandoned land. DON'T waste your money spaying or neutering your cats and dogs!!! They could feed you when you are hungry and desperate!
I think this government is deluding itself that it can spend and tax it's way out of these difficulties. This isn't a recession. It is a DEPRESSION. The POSERdent of the USSA may not admit it publicly, but what does he know? He hasn't worked a real job in his life. Neither have his advisors. This house of cards that they call our economy isn't worth the paper it's writing it's money with. This is all foundationless toilet paper.
The fall is coming...
Are YOU prepared?
