Making Criminals Out Of Everyone

There is an old idea that tells us if a government writes enough laws, eventually even the most honest man will become a criminal. And, this is exactly what we are seeing in the United States and other nations around the world. We need only look at the U.S tax code to understand how this idea concept applies. With over 80,000 pages of law, one is bound to do something 'illegal' even if he or she has no intention of doing so. The same is true of our traffic laws. No matter how carefully one drives, he or she is going to break a law at some point driving home from work. It is impossible not to.

By Design

Do not think this is something that was not done by design. When it comes to this situation, it was no accident. The government is concerned with one thing: control over the people. We can believe in all the slogans and mantras we want. The truth is, when looking at the history of governments, that they exist only to gain and exercise power.

Now, if everyone is a criminal simply because of all the laws that are written, what does that mean? Simply, by issuing decisions in an arbitrary fashion, those in power can 'eliminate' anyone who opposes their ideas. Again, we have seen this implemented repeatedly over the years.

Law Abiding Citizen

There are many who are foolish enough to think the government is there to help them. While it might be that way in theory, those in power are doing anything but helping themselves. Congress is a prime example. Do Senators do what is best for the people they represent? No. If you look at their voting record, they do what is best for getting them re-elected.

Therefore, those who are law-abiding citizens are playing right into their hands. One could drive him or herself neurotic by dwelling upon every law there is. As mentioned, even the best intentioned person will ultimately break a plethora of laws. Obedience is what makes one weaker especially if it is blind obedience.

So, what is the answer? My recommendation is to be a conscious lawbreaker. Now, I am not advocating becoming a revolutionary unless that is something you have thought long and hard about (and are willing to suffer the consequences of that action). What I mean is to ignore some of the stupid laws that only make your life irrationally impossible to live. For example, we all know that we are suppose to cross the street in the area designed for crossing. Failure to do so results in a ticket for jaywalking. So one is confronted with walking down the street to the crosswalk or going ahead and saving the time while crossing where he or she sees fit. A conscious law breaker is going to save the time.

If we instill in us that the government grows and grows until it gets to a point that it erodes all of our freedoms, then we can begin to take steps to a different end. It ultimately wants to make a criminal out of all of us. Once it does that, then it can randomly exert its power as it sees fit. And, we are defenseless against any of it. Keep this in mind.

We Are Part of the Animal Kingdom

Mankind likes to think of itself so smart. Stemming from this reasoning, he believes that he is somehow exempt from the natural laws of the world. Being part of the Animal Kingdom means that there are certain principles which equally apply to man. Largest among these is the idea of 'survival of the fittest'. Those who believe in something different are engaging in fantasy thinking.

Take Care of Your Own

The American economic system created a situation whereby slavery is commonplace. Even though legally outlawed 150 years ago, the truth is the international bankers and power brokers brought it back in a big way. However, instead of affecting the black culture, this has penetrated every race other than those 'chosen' to be elite. These people are the controlling forces of the world's financial trade. Unless the average person wakes up, the masses are doomed. Get ready for the biggest collapse ever witnessed.

It is no secret we were living in a bubble. My estimation is that the American economy was overextended by at least 25%. The average household has thousands of dollars worth of credit card debt. That means that the GDP was erred on the high side because of all that money. The same is true for housing. Inflation propped up the prices to the point where they burst like a carnival balloon. Again, we have numbers factored in which didn't belong in the national GDP.

Now we are faced with the hard times. Many say the economy is recovering....I say horsecrap. Like the old adage goes, 'you ain't seen nothing yet'. We are going to encounter economic chaos in the next few years. Many of the doomsdayers are being proven correct. It is high time that the average man starts to take care of his own. We will meet a point where all the charity and welfare is going to dry up. Those who believe in the eternal gravy train will be burdened even more than the rest of us. Economic collapse is a tremendous opportunity for those who are prepared.

Study What The Laws Are Telling You

Does the lion ever stop and help the injured fawn? Do you see the turtles helping a suffering fish? Of course not. Nature instilled within every species the internal need to survive. This is both on an individual and species basis. Taking care of one's own is mandated by nature. Mankind forgot this little tidbit.

We send billions of dollars to suffering countries to support people of different races and faiths that go counter to our ideals. America has become of the saps of the world assisting ever bleeding heart. On an individual level, we give more money to charity than any other nation on the planet. Yet, we also have the largest amount of freeloaders. This should come as no surprise since nature tells us what happens when we do this.

The fact is that some need to be cleansed. This is true from an individual standpoint and an economic one. Some businesses need to fail so others can thrive. There are only a certain amount of resources and when those resources are directed towards failing enterprises, they cannot be given to people who will create success. The strong must allow the weak to fail so that the strong can become stronger. The weak are a drain on valuable resources.

Of course, some will say this is a class warfare argument. No it isn't. Just because someone is presently on the lower level in terms of income, that does not make them weak. By the same token, riches do not necessarily equate to strength. Many times we do not know our own internal ability until we are faced with catastrophic situations. This is where strength is realized. Those who are left to sink or swim on their own often find the ability to remain above the surface. No assistance is needed. However, our mindset is help everyone who is in trouble.

That being said, we do have a responsibility to those closest to us. Unless we are will to care for those who are dependent upon us, we will suffer the fate of all weak people...extinction. Notice how in nature, a mother tends to her cubs. This is her responsibility. She protects, nurtures, and teaches her own. Of course, she does not offer this service to ever creature who comes along. It is only her family that receives this benefit.

Until we start accepting that we are animals and acting in accordance, we will be swallowed up but those who live according to these principles. If you doubt this, consider what concepts the international bankers are living by and see how they are faring. Trust me when I tell you the ideals differ greatly. They are the lions and you are the sheep.

Battle For Survival

Have you noticed what is going on in the world? Those who study economics and the current environment realize that the United States is on an unsustainable path. Many economic minds agree with this sentiment. Consider this fact: we owe roughly $14 trillion while running a deficit of about $1.5 trillion. At this pace, since we are falling further behind, we will pay this debt off in.....never!!!!

Therefore, we are insolvent. For those who do not know what that word means there is something that is more with the mainstream terminology: BROKE. The United States has no money. We are borrowing almost half of our annual spending. This is a situation that cannot transpire forever.

We See Our Future

You want to see our future, just look at Europe. Or for something closer to home, check out the situation in California. Each of these examples exemplifies what happens when spending gets out of control. Bailouts are occurring all over the place. Simply, there is not enough money to sustain this outrageous spending.

Sadly, many people cannot see this. They proceed with the same outlook as they always have. Spending remains at a normal high with the United States still living as a consumer society. They are completely blind to what is going on. Unfortunately, many of these people are in our own government. Our leaders are completely oblivious (or dont care) about what is happening. They are still operating like they always did. Our future is not bright.

Why all the doom and gloom? Because the slave drivers are gaining more and more power. The international bankers are well known to be the manipulators of the world economies. Through the different central banks, the power brokers establish boom and bust cycles. They ride the bubble up, get out close to the peak, and hop back in after the wreckage is complete. Look at the present housing situation to see this in action. The banks made record profits during the run up, off-loaded much off their debt obligations, got government bailouts, and now are make huge profits again even with the economy still in a recession. In short, the masses are being screwed by the financial community.

Fighting For Your Life

I am writing now to tell you that it is time to fight for your life. Everything is riding on the next couple of years. It is time for each individual to take a different approach to their own financial affairs. To start, stop spending. Cut your expenses to make yourself leaner and meaner. Stop being a slave to instant gratification and resist getting things just because you want them. Focus on your needs while putting off your wants. Start to make the proper financial decisions that will help you in the coming years.

Financially most are indebted. That is how the jailers are amassing more control. If you want to see mastery in action, look at how the Jewish banking community has enslaved many of the worlds economies. They run the financial networks, therefore, have the resources to sustain people for a while. Of course, once the present bubble pops, all bets are off. Suddenly, our banker is at the door looking for repayment. Again, look at the housing situation to see this in action. Many people got in over their heads only to learn that the bank is now foreclosing on them. Their indebtedness has made them a slave.

If you think this is a situation to take lightly, look at the current situation in the United States. And, I am not referring to the garbage numbers that the governments puts out. The true unemployment rate is closer to 20% which means that 1 in 5 is out of work. At the same time, people have no savings whatsoever. The entire net worth of the average American was tied up in their homes. Now, that vanished into thin air with 1 in 4 mortgages underwater. In other words, people have a negative net worth.

One final thing to ponder. At one point, 40% of the U.S. economy was related to real estate. Guess what? That bird is not flying any time soon. Unemployment will remain high because there is no industry to replace those jobs that were lost. We better get accustomed to a higher unemployment rate because it is now a fact of life.

It is time to wake up. If you want to remain someone who is free, you best do something different than the average person. Life is going to get a lot tougher for most.

Debt: The Path To Slavery

People are taught to spend. This is the mindset of the American public, in fact, of the entire Western World. Our entire economy is based upon what is produced and bought. The idea of saving is something that is overlooked in the mantras of our leaders. Instead, whenever there is a major catastrophe, we are told to act normal and spend money. This conditioning comes at a great cost.

Debt: The Prison Most of Us Are In

It is one thing to spend everything that you make. There are many people who have their outgoing matching their incoming. Of course, this creates a terrible situation if one loses his or her job, but, while employed, it is sustainable. People in this situation are broke yet they have a lot of stuff.

Sadly, this is not the place that many stop. If the average person spent only 100% if what he or she took in, then this would be an improvement. The reason is that we simply spend more than we earn. Through the use of debt, we are able to leverage our buying power up many times over. This is something that was done repeatedly over the last 30 years. And, it is something that happened at every level.

Debt becomes an albatross around people's neck. While initially it can be a freeing experience to get something new without having to pay for it, we all know that eventually the creditors come a knocking. There is a time when the payments needs to be made. This is where we cross the line from freedom into slavery.

If you look at the average household, you will realize they are saddled with debt they cannot afford. People have house payments that exceed the value of the home. Sitting in the driveway are two vehicles with a high monthly payment. The credit cards are maxed with payments equally 18%+. Overall, we are a nation of people who work to pay interest on the goodies we all received. This puts us in a financial prison which few ever can break free of.

The Path To Freedom

If debt leads to slavery, what is the path to freedom? Quite simply, it is cash. Paying for everything that you need at the time you purchase it eliminates the need for debt. This is a methodology which ensures that you live within your means. Those who like to move fast tend to 'charge it'. These are the people most interested in 'instant gratification'. They want it in that moment and they will have it. How to pay for it is something that will be considered at a later date.

Society is not geared towards this idea. Instead, the average individual buys into the mindset that he or she must spend to be worthy. Few practice financial responsibility. What is more common is the entitlement mentality that 'I deserve this'. The idea of driving an older car is not palatable. Cable television and Xbox are a necessity in life. Whatever anyone else has, we deserve it also regardless of the difference in economic level.

Sadly, the powers that are promote this idea. Madison Avenue is terrific at making people believe they are entitled to things. Politicians and business leaders also spew this same idea. We are Americans after all with the highest standard of living. Therefore, everyone deserves to own his or her own home. This was the mantra of the last 15 years and look where that got us. Basically, many people were not responsible enough to be owning their own home. Yet that didnt stop them from getting involved in that game with horrific results.

The point is the path of the masses ultimately leads to enslavement. At the core of everything is the banking system which makes money each time someone buys into the entitlement idea. The amount of interest we pay collectively is astounding. Bankers have always rigged the game in their favor. Today, we see the Federal Reserve charging interest off the dollar bills it creates which it conveniently parks in the vaults of the major banks. This practice dates back many years and serves as a means of taking from the masses. I will let you research this idea on your own since there are thousands of articles and videos depicting this same point.

At the end of the day, you have to be willing to forgo debt if you are to be free. This will require a shift in your mindset because we are conditioned to buy, buy, buy. The idea of living within one's means is foreign to all of us. We feel it is our right to take a trip without having to save up for it. This thinking only serves to put us in financial servitude. The amount of debt we are swimming in will sink us. Break free by using cash only for purchases. It is one major act on your path to freedom.

Our Government Dilemma

Friday, April 15, 2011

Save! Save! Save!

The United States financial system is set up to enslave you. In fact, the entire Western world is based upon this idea. Financial domination is something that the powers that are seek to maintain and grow. Anyone who ever experienced debt knows the hole just gets deeper.

Misuse of Debt

We recently witnessed the crash of one of the biggest bubbles the world ever saw. The housing crisis that results from the credit expansion of the last decade is filtering through every segment of our society. Unemployment is at record levels with people feeling the pain. There are few who are not affected in some way.

The entire episode was the culmination of the misuse of debt. People spent more than they could reasonably pay back. While there are many reasons this took place (and places to point the finger), the truth is that people were given money who didnt deserve it. The greed of the banking industry to keep the mortgage pipeline full overrode common sense underwriting standards. Now, we as a nation, are left picking up the pieces.

Debt is a wonderful tool to use as long as one keeps things in proper perspective. Leveraging is a legitimate way to make money. In fact, it is truly one of those financial mechanisms which creates tremendous wealth. However, as we saw, when in the wrong hands, it is catastrophic. People who use every dollar of credit offered will end up destroyed. I would say that most of the masses fall into this category.

Savings

Have you ever noticed how the political figures never stand up and say we have to save more. Whenever a crisis hits, the mantra is for people to keep spending. Their viewpoint is to keep the economy churning regardless of the outcome. The impact on the individual is not in their mindset. Ultimately, as is always the case, the individual minion gets stuck holding the bag.

Fortunately, I am here to tell you something different. If you hope to be free and exist on any type of high standard of living in the future, you MUST save. Following the behaviors of the past will doom you to the same failure. There are millions of people who are teetering on the edge of financial insolvency who have no idea. The net worth of the United States, both as an entity and a collection of individuals, is less than zero. At some point, that rooster will come home. And the time is not so far along

The who create bubbles are engaging in a high risk game. Many of the 'market makers' know exactly what they are doing. They have the knowledge and connections to ride the bubble up and bail at just the right time. The average person does not. That is why saving is so important. It allows us to enter into the game only when things are at an optimum for us. Following the herd is not a sound financial plan.

Those with money are able to make more money. Ensure that you are one of these people. Begin the process immediately of saving all that you can. Reduce your entertainment expense as much as you can. Cut out those unnecessary expenditures. Cancel your cable. Do everything in your power to start amasses some money in savings. This will allow you to be ahead of the next bubble when it pops. A contrarian outlook here is extremely beneficial.

Freedom: Personal Responsibility

This Friday, Atlas Shrugged The Movie, opens up in theaters across the country. Here is one of those films that was self financed by an individual in an effort to get the message out there. The total cost, of which is only the first installment in what is presumed to be a 3 installment series is $20 million. This is a not a tidy sum compared to the common Hollywood film. However, since this message is one that the Hollywood elite deems useless, this cannot be considered one of their films. In essence, it was made by outsiders.

Personal Responsibility

Ayn Rand is one of the 20th centuries greatest minds. Her writings still are studied to this day. She has influenced the beliefs of millions over the last 60 years. Atlas Shrugged is perhaps her most famous work. While it was a fictional novel, we see much of what she wrote about playing out today in the Western world.

Rand was a proponent of personal responsibility. She detested dogma much in the same way I do. Her belief system moved her to the Atheist end of the spectrum. Religion held little value whatsoever in her opinion. Of course, the handouts of the government ranks up there with the Crusades in terms of abominations. She felt that only a true society could flourish where individuals made it based upon their own accord. Sadly, this is not the America we see today.

Since I am a proponent of freedom, I feel that the writings of Ayn Rand are worthwhile. She hits upon some fundamental issues which we collectively failed to ensure. Personal liberty was one of her highest values. This is something that we have tossed aside in favor of the Kool-Aid the politicians feed us. Many will point to Barack Obama as evidence of this. However, George W. Bush was no better. He forced the Patriot Act down people's throats in the name of "The War On Terror". Different part, same result.

Freedom Isn't Free

There is a price for freedom. It does not come free. The lives that were sacrificed (and still are) to preserve our values in armed conflicts over the years show how high the price truly is. Of course, not all of us need to go to this extreme. But, we do need to stand up and contribute.

America is a nation of lazy, stupid, immature, and excessive people. While many will think this characterization harsh, look around. You will see I am correct. We are a culture of mindless boobs who watch American Idol on our big screen t.v.s which were financed along with everything else we have. We are the 'give me' generation who wants everything served up to us on a silver platter. Our obesity rate is approaching 60% because people are too lazy to get off their butts and exercise. It is far easier to be a slave to the couch then to implement free will. This is the status of the average American.

Of course, we see this in people's voting patterns. They cast their ballots for the person who is going to give him or her the most. We are a nation of handout with recent reports stating that 1/3 the country receives a check from the government. This is hardly the world that Rand saw in her visions. Her belief system laid in the opposite direction. She felt that people had a responsibility to take care of themselves. Productive achievement was man's noblest causes. This idea excludes the couch potato crowd.

Slavery Is Upon Us

150 years ago the first shots of the Civil War were fired. This was the costliest war in terms of American lives ever fought (it makes sense since every casualty, no matter which side, was an American). Many believe this war was fought over slavery. It was not. Instead, the Civil War was a battle of power. The South simply did not want the North dictating how it was operating. The issue of slavery was a rallying cry. Power (and money) was at the core.

Today, we are losing the war of slavery as a nation. The country is in hoc to foreign countries to the tune of trillions. At the same time, we are dependent upon foreign dictatorships for our energy while siphoning off trillions more from our pocketbooks. I already mentioned how we stand on the individual level with our excessive habits. Overall, America is fat but about to be put on a very low calorie diet.

I suggest everyone take the initiative to get his or her house in order. Start with your financial situation. Stop being a slave to your creditors by spending like a teenager at the mall with mommy's credit card. Only purchase those items which are absolutely needed. Of course, this entails learning the difference between a need and a want. Those who believe that an IPhone is a need are way off the reservation.

Ayn Rand spoke as a prophet. Naturally, I will emphatically state that she is not some God to be revered. Her insights were based upon observations of governmental systems that operated for centuries. However, her vision of the state of America is eerily true. Today, we are at the crossroads. We must decide who was are and what we stand for. Most people will not do this. Instead, they will follow blindly right off the edge of a cliff. The powers that are will ensure this. Remember this idea the next time you believe that it is too difficult to step out on your own and question your life. That decision might be costly.

I encourage everyone to hit up this movie this weekend. If you want more information, check out the official website.
