PAST LESSONS
A few quick points before we start today. First, the book "Emergency" that I took a few ideas from a week and a half ago. I finished reading it last night and while it is very interesting and well written it is not recommended. Besides the few "how to's" in comic form the entire 300 plus page book is inspirational rather than instructional. And geared toward Yuppie Survivalists. I enjoyed reading it and didn't feel I wasted my money, but it was the story of a guys journey from sheeple to survivalist. Starting at Gunsite, stopping at a few outdoor living courses, a side trip to the Caribbean to buy an apartment and citizenship- all very expensive ways to survive. And in the end he's a CERT and S&R and EMT staying in LA to help everyone rather than deserting that sinking ship. Also, my brilliant idea of setting up a solar panel in my van window ended up pretty retarded. It took five days to generate 75 watts I had used with a 15 watt panel. I put it outside the van and got the same results in one day.

Whether you are worried about barnyard flu or an economic collapse or whatever other calamity, let's review some past outrages by The Powers That Be. It never hurts to remind ourselves how willing others are to screw us over for fun or profit. To solve any crime, just follow the money. Who benefited? Usually it's the banks. The government acts as their attack dog and business their fall guy. Keep in mind for our discussion here that chain of control. I'll use all three interchangeably but sometimes one is using the other to benefit. Our founding fathers didn't mind collecting taxes. They just didn't like not being able to spend it. Plus there was the issue of a continent of unexploited riches, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was a surprise for later. After working everyone up into a lather, enough fools went off to the battlefield to get wounded or killed and the agitators were on the road to riches. As payment, the soldiers were denied their promised land and the citizens were robbed with hyperinflation with the Continental.

Fighting Mexico for Texas, fighting Texas for a strong federal government, fighting the weakest colonial power for overseas possessions. Bribing Congress for a central bank. Devaluing the gold by 40% and confiscating it all for worthless paper. Agitating for two world wars we had no need to be in other than profits to the wealthy. The military industrial complex getting rich as fifty thousand died in Asia. Civilians being used as guinea pigs in subway chemical attacks by the intelligence industry. Millions suffering in third world countries for our profits and access to cheap commodities. Tens of thousands of service members being poisoned with untested Anthrax shots. Starving Iraqi citizens with an embargo. Abandoning an entire city to flooding and leaving its residents to die and victimize each other. False flag attacks in OKC and NYC. How many thousands of others have I missed?

The PTB will think nothing of starving you, torturing you, killing you for an extra dollar of profit or more power. Do not trust the banks, the corporations or government. It doesn't matter which bank holds your account, who the CEO is or what party is in control this election. They will all screw you without thinking twice about it. You had better be extra paranoid.

Really short today. Pretty much feeling like crap, it must be the barnyard flu. And I ain't promising much tomorrow.
