Obama Ask Congress for More Executive Powers? When Pigs Fly!

“If you talk to regular Americans, they’ll tell you.”, Obama said this at the podium this morning, to an audience he welcomed as “business people”, to start. The theme, requesting more executive power from congress to “streamline” the executive branch, comes at a time when Congress seems more like a lame duck session, than some of the last lame ducks sessions.

Some of the things I noted during the speech was that this disconnect between the support for business and a relationship with the people just seems infinitely vast. Especially when you describe the “regular” American’s as “they”. And it’s not just a simple careless phrase, it’s a symptom of the real issues facing this country.

The real problem in the US is the disconnect authority has with it’s own members. Obama spent the entire speech addressing the wrong audience. His focus and language was entirely meant for congressional members and NOT the American people, or they, but rather itself technically; USA.

To me Obama and his political will is missing the real point of leading the “people”. He is a populous president, under the guise of his campaign promises, that is completely ignoring his power base. The Republicans have actually suggested that Obama is behind the Occupation, which is just insane. The fact is that the so called “liberal” media has successfully ignored any social interest in the movement. They have tried to demonize it, covering the events that may finally turn into the Seattle WTO convention. That’ll spike ratings!

If Occupy Wall Street has succeeded at anything it has succeeded at exposing the divide between America the television program, and America the reality. It seemed much easier to breeze through the day content to get by until it became obvious that the left was quite right of the center, an amazing lie!

So essentially, knowing congress will deny any hope to improve his campaign position, Obama makes a lame duck request, to help America see the lame duck, and get a sense for the lameness of the duck! But what does that make the populous president, whose promise for changed filled so many with a hope that would eventually turn that hope into anger and resentment. I knew when he was running that he was just another politician, but for the people who really believed in him, he was more than just a little disappointing.

The problem with Washington is it’s full of politicians. People with the power to support Americans, lost to the tide pools of wealth deciding bailouts and buying earmarks and it all hurts Americans, that have placed their trust in the issues and the people, trust in their judgments as fellow human beings living in this miracle of time we share on Earth. The problem is that our president is wasting time with political games intended to get himself re-elected, instead of embracing the America will for change and yielding it. This is someone who could have done that and didn’t! And, it could actually cost him the race.

Occupy Earth and Occupy Yer Self Cause the Good Ole Days is a Gone!

You know the old saying, if Americans can’t afford a house, we’ll just start selling them to someone else, and if they don’t live here we’ll give them visas. And the other saying we’re all familiar with, if you came here just for the education, wait, we’ll give you a visa so you can stay and work too! Oh, and my favorite, if you let us build a military defense system in your eastern European country we’ll kick down a bunch of summer work visas so when we visit our own national parks we can be taken care of by your students instead if ours!

I know some of you might be a bit confused and might not remember many of these old cliches. I admit it’s been some time since we sold out our own for a new fold. Let me think, that would have been before most of you were born, but maybe some of you remember. I think it was around the turn of the century. You know, when we used to lock the polish immigrants in the factory until their 15 hour shifts were over.

If I remember correctly there was a fire in one of those which really messed it up for the rest of us, or we’d probably still be gathering new folks from other countries still, but only when the folks we have start to ban together and ask for things like food and water while their working. That really cuts into their productivity if you ask me.

Look I hate to be the dick here, but don’t we have something like 12% real unemployment. I know it’s a bit inconvenient to keep counting the ones that no longer count, but really! Now you want to give foreigners visas so they can buy the homes you just kicked our unemployed asses out of. Better yet, why don’t you up the ante on the next generation and offer them visas if they’ll vote for your party in the future. Seems like the next best thing to telling the truth and actually having to support your constituency base. Oh wait, that’s not us I forgot. That’s for the 1% and we’re just here to get fucked as often as it fits your political bullshit.

And don’t worry about the fact that there are way more of us than you, cause we’re way to dumb to see through all your powerful talking points and misdirections. In fact we’re so dam close to hill billies that you might as well kill us fir be’n so codependent. Probably the only way you’ll really get any real rest at night.

Now that I seem to have your attention, let me tell you what’s going to happen next so that you won’t be totally caught off-guard when the lights go out! A day will come, and it’s coming soon, that you will open the news paper and find out that confidence in the fiat currencies, you’ve bled the world around you by, won’t be worth toilet paper. I know what you’re thinking, that you already knew and hedged your billions in metals, which frankly will help, but not you. In fact the few coins that people do have will be passed around a few times and the raw truth will suddenly dawn on the others, like a vision, that we don’t need to trade anything. That it was all just an idea that was held in place by the fear of the unknown.

Shame too, that you spent everything you had trying to save a failing idea, while we built an entirely new way of experiencing right In front of you, but you couldn’t figure it out. You tried. We watched you and to you it all seemed like a game without rules or an outcome, nothing you could stop or control, so you considered it an unimportant shadow.

You know what the true irony of it all is? That you will be forced to need. Not by any of us, but by your own actions. You’ll really wish there was an Armageddon that would spare you from living in a world without gold plated fixtures and Latvian maids, but mostly you’ll have to live with yourself among us. In plain clothing we made without your investment. And they won’t cost you a dime and we’ll love you for asking and yes of course will always be our true flag of unity!

Here’s a clue, and it won’t be enough for you to realize it in time, but more of something to reflect on when you finally build up the courage to come out side. It’s the same thing that set Harry Potter apart from himself. The thing that pooh could never speak. It’s the sound of a bee on a warm afternoon and a field of flowers without toil. And you can not monetize it, no matter how hard you try. So when it all comes crashing down around you just remember. I and a few friends did this and never fired a shot! Not really. Actually, you did this to yourself… And what a fucking ride that was!

What the Occupy Movement Isn’t, Won’t Stop What it IS!

In the rush of air that quickly formed the most organized shift in the history of the World, it seems that most people have completely overlooked what it really is that has been created. I expected the Corporate Banker’s Political Media Team to be to blind to see it, but hadn’t realized the subtlety would be overlooked by the most seemingly active participants. Even I have been surprised by it’s direction, but truly relieved to see that it worked so well despite its over exuberant cause driven anxiety, but that’s what we’ve been trained to experience…

Many believe that the people gathering on the streets around the Globe are going to do something to change the World when in fact they have already done the impossible. These amazing groups of people will someday be recognized as the architects of our next generations system of global continuity; the global village.

Still not getting it? Let me be more specific. The change isn’t what we accomplish really, but how we went about it. Right now there are several hundred individual Facebook Pages named after every location on Earth. Each of these pages are, in essence the foundation of a future system of governance. It is a way for communities to be self determined and will eventually include everyone, all 100% and not just 1% claiming to be the 99.

The goal in this movement is to bring down the existing power structure and restore the power of individuals to make there own determinant choices about how they, as a community, want to live on this planet, and that’s exactly what they did. They built the infrastructure to catch the fall if a dying system.

This is why the mainstream media and the politicians that pride themselves on being in control can’t stop it. It’s not an outcome and that’s what they are used to controlling. The corporate bankers fund them both and expect them to accomplish their intentions for controlling the mob, using this formula of telling people how to live, through psychological media tools like popular ideas and their populous endorsements of repetitious talking points. It builds consensus!

Over the last few years I have been watching the existing power moguls swallowing up all the gold and silver futures contracts, while their main instrument, the Federal Reserve, intentionally devalues the all mighty dollar.

I’m sure they are not complete idiots about the fate of fiat currencies and it would seem that their plan was to take the system, they spent the last 200 years exploiting, back to the gold standard once the Worlds Fiat economy collapsed under the weight of it’s own need for growth. They call it inflation, but it’s really just a systemic flaw that had to be engineered to overcome the constant loss of the interests on loans made over years and years.

Here the one flaw that is the monkey wrench in their Global control mission. No one else has enough gold or silver to play in the new world order, so now what. Well for awhile it will seem like they are sitting pretty large, with their big ole stacks of cash, and the prices for these metals will rage. And the question isn’t when. It is in fact occurring now.

The boom we just passed through over the last 30 years to get to the subprime mortgage fallout was a pretty simple trick called flipping assets into debt. If fact the total pool of liquidity that emerged from tempting ma and pa kettle to sell that old house, as the market values increased, was all part of the plan. It allowed the banks to loan a bunch of money to everybody who wanted it.

Shit, they were so pleased with things that at one point they didn’t even care if you had any credit, cause this ride was never going to end.. That is, as long as housing prices didn’t collapse. Now everyone is in a panic about how to solve this little problem of consolidation. And they decided to sell everyone out, as usual, and start hoarding metals thinking they could still finance there own life styles on the back of the 99% who still haven’t figured out their getting slaughtered real soon, but there is one thing they or you and I never saw coming… socialmedia! And now everyone is starting to pay attention to each other instead of the talking points!

Sure, some people are going to take a bit longer to realize that Capitalism isn’t the only method of living a healthy life, but when the monies gone it’s really going to be up to everyone to decided what were going to do next, and thanks to a largely idealistic group of people who knew something needed to happen, we now have a way to plan it out and execute it.

Occupy Earth United for Global Change – Oct. 15th. 2011

On October 15th the entire World will stand in the place they live and Unite the World in a movement that began as Occupy Wall Street, sponsored by the Canadian magazine Adbusters. It is being called United for Global Change. #Occupywallstreet as it is referred to on Twitter, began as a grass roots move to call attention to the extreme imbalances that have been growing in the World’s Economic system. It has all but been completely ignored by the mainstream media and when the news is covered it has been laced with shades of PR “talking points” reflecting several different interests.

It would appear from the slants being conveyed in the media that Democrats believe they can Co’op the movement and turn it into possible legislature to help push plans through Congress that will give them more clout to tax the rich to pay for job bills. While the right wing has called the event in Wall Street a “Class War” and “Dangerous”, and Glenn Beck has gone so far as to suggest that these protestors have intentions to drag people out into the streets and “kill” them. It just amazes me that so much slander around a movement that has the sole intention to call for a more “Participatory Democracy”, according to organizers in Boston.

Several failings in the attempts to discredit the movement have begun to shift people over to new sources of information for the news surrounding the events taking place, now in every major city in the US and on Oct. 15th in every major city around the World. No news has come out of China as to whether they will attempt to join Western forces in their move toward Solidarity against what is being referred to as the “Corporate Banking Political Media Group”. I’ve always just called it Capitalism, which seems to be up against the same possible fate that fell upon Communism in the 90′s. Central leadership always seems to fall victim to monetary control and looses sight of it’s main constituency, which is people!

Some news people have spoken out against the mainstream media’s blatant disregard and close to slander of the events, especially Keith Olbermann who has become a huge proponent of Twitter as the one place that anyone can find almost all the news being reported. The entire event and every local event is being organized on Facebook with page named after each event, OccupyLondon for instance is the “occupy” event taking place to protest the London Stock Exchange. Events can be search using either Facebook or Twitter and specific news being posted is listed according to each event. For the London Exchange it would post with the hashmarked version of the Facebook page, #occupyLondon. It is also possible to follow each groups Twitter account @occupyLSX, and so forth.

It amazes me still to see how long the media is holding out on acknowledging this isn’t a bunch of pot smoking hippies, but as has happened in NY and now in Boston, it is being helped by the Labor Unions and people of every age group and occupation! The divided has become so critical in this writers mind that it will be difficult if not impossible for them to ever regain the public trust enough to ever be considered a valid or credible news source.  So, rather than expecting to hear about the events in your area, cause there will probably be little to none, get a Twitter account or look up your specific area on Facebook to get all the news relevant to your location! And don’t believe the mainstream media when they quote the now famous “talking point” that this is an unorganized group of kids without a clear message. The message is quite clear! Occupy – United for Global Change has organized an entire World Event on Oct. 15th 2011 to show solidarity for Economic Justice, and they have done it using Social Media!

Mainstream Media “Talking Points” That Need to be Addressed! – Occupywallstreet

An Aritle released today by the Associated Press, by Christian Salazar paints the occupywallstreet movement, which expands to a global movement on Oct. 15th, as a movement that has still NOT reached the level of “credible”.

Several “talking point” were revealed in this article that show how the mainstream media have decided to slant the issues being addressed. One of the most important factors of this PR driven slander is the very lack of attention it gives to one of the movements core ideals; that being the financial communities relationship with the World’s political systems and their combined control of the media. Not entirely surprising!

What the article does provide is plenty of “credibility” to several of their talking points, coming from past heavyweights from the social equality movement of the 60′s, namely Andrew Young, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Reverend Jesse Jackson, in order to build to build the case that the movement needs a leader in order to make real change.

I find it frustrating that these types of articles and news stories continue to compare it to the Tea Baggers, which are not even in the same league as the Occupy movements Worldwide, but seem to be more evident, on their own, a huge part of the existing paradigm. They have referred to our Constitutional Rights to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition the government as a Class War! How dare the media measure that as comparable.

Another “talking point” that seriously needs addressing is their total failure to acknowledge that the Occupy Movement needs some kind of leader, when clearly central leaderships have led to the current economic collapse, that has been that has been one of the core motivations behind these numbers. And frankly, Mr. Salazar, I believe it is NOT National unorganized criticisms out there… It is fucking GLOBAL!

The last of the talking points I’d like to address is the “demands of the protesters crystallizing around taxing the rich”, is ludicrous. And US Rep. Jim Clayburn of South Carolina, describing it as “the most heart warming thing since President Obama’s Election”, I consider to be one of the most condescending statements to the intelligence I’ve ever heard. Maybe these idiots just can’t fathom that we are smart enough to see through this trite, or maybe they have been so blinded by their own PR Tools that they really believe everyone is actually an idiot that wants to be spoon fed their direction in life with little sound bites.

So lets give thanks where it’s due. I hate leaving a sour note to topics. Thanks everyone who participated in this AP article, for showing your true colors. We could not have seen through your attempts to defame the hard work of millions of brilliant facilitators, coordinators, and supporters Globally, who are protesting you, specifically and everything you represent! In fact, without you, trying to define our participation in Capitalism to seem humanitarian and fare, we’d probably still be enjoying the abundance of a balanced economic system instead of gearing up for Winter on the Streets of our discontent!

#occupywallstreet – A Manifesto for Change

#occupywallstreet has become the flag of response to a global economy that has spent it’s influence trying to control everything including people, the worlds resources and its policies. It has become the inertial reaction to monetary influence that has used everything to facilitate a massive structural imbalance around the globe. It is the result of politic ideology that only reflects the needs of a few to harbor the control over the masses who labor for their simple fear of maintaining a status quo and sends a clear message to that cult that we can not be contained beyond our own willingness to participate.

Wall street is not an issue that needs to be resolved, but a lesson to any kind of central leadership or socioeconomic political structure that will always be susceptible to unilateral financial objectives. We are a diverse world that has become monotized into believing in one way, while we harbor diverse needs and value as communities.

Communities are the regions which we call home and not the striping of power from the indigenous people in some far away place to fuel our own lifestyles. We have been trained to capitalize on each other while we yearn to ourselves be free to explore our lives directly.

#occupywallstreet is the voice of frustration with everything that fails our true sense of empathy. It is a spark towards evolution and not another revolution that repeats the same trust in one opinion. One that compels us to conform to duty or a cause that binds the soul into another state of submission.

#occupywallstreet is the realization that we are all connected as people who can communicate with each other. We don’t need the media to translate our intentions or political will to determine our safety nets or boundaries. It is the first dialog of our true desire to be free to think for ourselves and we are having it with our neighbors, our friends; our community.

We can think for ourselves to solve the issues in our own community and we don’t need some corporate solution in order to endure. We are capable and determined in the face of our greatest challenges and don’t need a watered down paradigm of laws to think for us.

Let this dialog continue to grow and claim the balance of our best efforts as people who are naturally empathetic. Let us determine in our own regions what we can share with others and not be forced to give up our own choice for any one cause that eliminates our own self sustaining intentions. These are OUR communities and they belong to each person living in them.

These communities are fully capable of sharing something with other communities and should be the benefactors of their own works. We built these homes and now a few people have claimed the right to possess them to be empty the shells of our legacy while their craftsman fight to stay off the streets.

#occupywallstreet is a statement that we have more respect for the labor behind the society we built with our hands than the monetizing of our sweat and calluses. Right now the worlds banks are loaning communities the funding to strip them of their natural resources that we worked our lives to save. They are loaning us the time it takes to fill out paperwork to beg for relief while we sit on our hands waiting for a leader who recognizes our position, and we are tired of believing change will ever come.

A few of us have taken to the streets to stop doing what is asked of us to avoid default. A few of us will start the dialog that will end any form of central, political or economic solution that only seems to yield another round of the same thing in a different guise.

It will be a local dialog and it will have local repercussions. It will have a regional dialog and it will have regional repercussion. It will be a national dialog that gives support to the regions it shares and a global dialog to support the autonomy of every national choice to be itself under its own culture and in control of it’s own resources. We will always need each other to guarantee the autonomy of our choices through vigilance and support for that autonomy, and we don’t need a flag to prove it.

#occupywallstreet is a huge message that reads the banks don’t own anything if we say they don’t, that politicians have no vote if we say they don’t.

And if it turns to a fight it won’t be coming from us, because we would rather die than live like this, and you can have this world and all the fearful slaves, with their bankers and politicians and corporations and their armies. And we will have world peace in that intention to truly be free!

We no longer want your world of unethical behavior that sets us apart and destroys our natural sense of community. We are dying everyday it goes on when we don’t even have time to rest, just to pay the interest rates and fuel cost of backward technologies that are only kept in place by the weak with their armies of idiots willing to do a job for money that never buys them happiness or convenience or freedom.

Freedom isn’t free is a lie! It capitalism that spreads this cancerous rhetoric to keep the wheels of destruction rolling. It is a lie to call us free while the banks hold the world hostage, enslaved to work for system that is inhumane and unsustainable.

It is a lie to march our young men and women into oil country claiming freedom that is being financed by slaves. It is slavery we believed was necessary in order to eat genetically modified foods created and sustained by a system that promotes monetizing obesity and supports 100% lies about the health of our bodies and forces us to buy insurance against an entire lifestyle.

#occupywallstreet is the same message that Gandhi offered. We refuse to participate with your system any longer. It is beyond fixing and we have had enough! We will sit here until the dialog is complete and everyone is engaged. This is the end of monetizing our lives. We don’t need you anymore!

For more information search Twitter #occupywallstreet for up to the minute news and information about the environment we live in and become part of the choices we make together as a community.
Our future is our choice now!

Timing is Everything

Once again we have come to a crossroads in American history where the future will be shaped by politics rather than rational decision making and as usual the Achilles heal will be the past rationale that the US economy is so resilient that whatever decision is made will either be the right one or we’ll have the time to adjust it and everything will work itself out.

I am of course speaking of the US Budget Deficit, which is growing at an astronomical rate for several reasons. On May 15th the US deficit will reach an unrealistic 14.8 Trillion Dollars, this does not include SSI nor Medicare, whose trusts were breached during the Reagan administration in the 80′s. Nor will it include the reality of the Federal Reserves unbelievable holdings of $2 Trillion in still toxic subprime mortgage securities. It will mainly be centered around the bankers and corporations lobbying for their share of a quickly depleting dollar.

The idea that the US economy could never suffer a irreparable hit is the long standing idea that we are America and has no other basis in fact, but lets just weigh that against some truth. The US trade deficit is way to high, and this is a massive liquidity leak, so to speak. The Fed Chief is fudging number that don’t agree with the worlds foremost investors, which has a huge effect on investor confidence, and he seems to be measuring inflation against numbers on paper and not the commodities they purchase. Keynesian philosophy only really works when you have a supply side surplus and excluding food and energy from core inflation is part of that philosophy giving us a false sense of inflation, which can be rated as high as 10% when you take this and other factors into consideration.

In 1971 when the US went off the gold standard gold was $35 an ounce and if we were to rate the US dollars buying power we can see, looking at golds current $1500 an ounce price, that the dollars purchasing power has faded horribly.

We are still seeing adjustments in housing, which for a time, became a meter for the dollars purchasing power, and prices could very well fall back to pre-1980′s levels exposing the system that built the inflated sense of wealth of converting assets into debt. And now the fact of inertia gets to come front and center stage for the final act to answer the question, “can a debt based society beat the odds the past has proven time and time again?”.

The strongest facts, which will likely be overlooked in this scenario of political posturing, will likely be the need to restore the fading confidence in the dollar and a truly responsible fiscal plan to get us back to a long term solvent state. In the Book, “This Time is Different”, the authors point out several indications that have been consistent in the collapse of past fiat currency based economies, and the most prevalent to me seems to be the confidence factor that makes their treasuries a solid investment, and when investors are only interested in 4 and 6 month treasuries, you can practically count the days on their confidence.
