Not All Your Life...
I truly understand the amount of indoctrination that the average person has but...you do not have to wear blinders all your life.
Let’s take a quick glimpse at the garbage you may believe.
I was indoctrinated to believe that the war of 1812 was about expanding, freedom, the Indians, taxes, policy and a ton of other semi-truths of little substance.
There is one aspect of that war seldom observed or discussed. We were fighting to free ourselves from the British Central Banking System. Money loaned at interest with little or no way to ever pay it back.
Do you actually believe that your government makes the money you have or that the FDIC is government owned? The lie started before 1812.
Do you believe that the Great Depression sprang up from a hidden abyss? The Great Depression was a well planned effort to create the central bank / monetary system that has enlightened individuals a bit concerned.
Take the time to read about the Jekyll Island Duck Hunt. You may find yourself in disbelief.
*Negative and positive only exists within your mind. Nothing has emotional ties until you attach your emotion.
Most wouldn’t have talked with Jeffrey Dahmer yet that same person feels a bit safer because “someone else” did.
That’s the same attitude that has lent help to your current economic situation.*

So here America sits with a debt of over $16.4 trillion and a GDP of a bit more than $14 trillion.
What happens when you can only pay the interest on your car note with nothing towards the premium?
Now Americans sit back with crossed fingers that the next president will save us from agony. How is he to do this? The bank you got your automobile loan from closed, changed location, did your debt go away?
What does the new or remaining president have to fiscally work with? Few understand that there is only $853 billion US dollars, notes and coins in circulation. The majority of the rest are nothing but numbers in a book or on a computer. The world operates at present on US Bonds and is getting away from them as fast as possible.
If you have to borrow money at interest in order to run your life, business or endeavor, how much power does the president / CEO have? He has the power “allowed” by the granter.
I’d like to think that this relationship would consist of various granters with limited or “no” say in how the loaned money was to be used. Sounds good doesn’t it? Most understand that this is not how life works.
When we stick our hands out for $2 most get the question, “for what” and this becomes the fulcrum on which the money is loaned in most instances.
What we are seeing is joblessness that we created in part. Every time you go out and buy the latest gadget you are in essence and literally putting someone out of work.

The old gadget needs no more production workers; it only needs service and parts.
Most tend not to realize that you don’t have the latest phone, PC, TV, etc. There are newer models sitting on shelves until your buying trend subsides. At that point, the “new old” gadgets go to Big Lots, Dollar General and second rate retailers.
Here’s the kicker; the money goes from one hand to another and people “think” they have made a good deal or some cash but…there is but one person / entity that actually sees a profit – the original granter of the loan. All we’re doing is shuffling dollars between ourselves for the money to make it until the next day. It’s very similar to the millions of dollars Sea World and Zoos take in yet feed the workers a sliver of what they generate in cash.
Those farm boys we laughed at with no cable, internet, inside plumbing, etc. have been wealthier than most people the whole time.
While you struggle with a mortgage, he’s planting seeds. You’re having “Dish” problems while he / she enjoys communication of substance with family and friends. You’re budgeting your grocery list while he’s walking to the smoke house.
Indoctrination has your life twisted but you didn’t see it until the American Dream / Lie ran out.
Money has never been the root of all evil! Uneducated, unneeded, wasteful and greedy buying of “wants” is the vehicle and spending money that isn’t actually yours is getting a bit closer to the root.
Some will get this; some already have as others will live in denial or “Lala Land” until the noose is tightly around their necks.

How do we escape this? Most don’t, they’re simply too far in but there are ways to make life more bearable or reverse the actions.
Think before you spend; plant some vegetables in the yard; harness rain water for outside use; run the A/C less and at a more cost effective temperature; barter with your neighbors; fast foods tend not to be sustaining; get all your groceries at once; share rides and a host of other “little” things.

Tangent – I watch Pat Robertson bash the Muslim people / faith daily. I don’t agree with him but 80% of the other topics are useful to me.

Here are some parting thoughts; learn to exercise your option to think differently. You may be ridiculed at times but if Americans were so smart, how did we get here? Inflated egos tend to be self destructive.
That’s right; the same one talking crap about your new approach is in the same turmoil as you if not more.
It takes bravery to set your “self” apart from the crowd.
I catch all kinds of criticism but very few know where I come from or where I’m going. How can they give me directions?
My day to day perception / view of life is fractional and in constant flux. I know nothing.
……not all my life.
