Meltdown

Ministry of Truth

Life in a totalitarian political system, was much alike in 1984 as it is in 2010, the ruling party (with many names) achieved psychological mastery over its subjects by willfully altering the past. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past”

The infamous Central-bank governor was as always first on the mark, when he got is Editor to translate the SIC report, and subsequently made himself the Editor in chief to ensure proper workmanship.

Having been advised to go through a thorough public relations image radiosterilization, the other players in the meltdown are now preoccupied with publishing their accounts of events. Ministers, who should have been impeached, escaped because of our stealth quality nepotism and where exonerated by their pairs.

Memorable was a blistering speech by the head jailer of the country, who feared for the “rule of law”, if her party mates should have to risk her hospitality.

It is thus understandable that all hell broke loose when a worker at one of the memory holes (squarely faithful to the party) got fired from the news manufacturing room.

No wonder that they all want to own influential media, as we are all to believe that their inherent qualities of: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride have over night turned into: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

The Propaganda model explains factors such as Agenda Setting which predetermines, selects, shapes, controls and restricts by the selection of topics, distribution of concerns, emphasis, framing of issues, filtering of information, and bounding of the debate.

The systemic filters, concentrate on private ownership, strict bottom-line profit orientation, over-reliance on governmental and corporate sources for news, primary tendency to avoid offending the powerful and a religious worship of the market economy, strongly opposing alternative beliefs.

Against the ruling masters of our cognitive systems, manipulating the actual experience of remembering we have: transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, mis-attribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. – May God help us all

Blind spot?

In the light of the meltdown, it is interesting to see so little in what came out of the “National Assembly” which curtails the monetary and corporate powers directly.

“Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws.” — Mayer Amsched Rothchild,

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” — Thomas Jefferson

“Over time, whoever controls the money system controls the nation.” — Stephen Zarlenga

“Under the Constitution, Article I, Sec. 8, our government has the sovereign power to issue money and spend it into circulation to promote the general welfare, for example, through the creation and repair of infrastructure, including human infrastructure – health and education – rather than misusing the money system for speculation as banking has historically done; periodically causing one crisis after another. Our lawmakers must now reclaim that power!”

Old Peoples Savings

Old peoples savings is the new Battle cry of desperadoes.

It is shameful to see “Political Economists” who by the way have not apologized for the state of their Dismal Science, propagate this “simple” solution, whose personal savings by the way are of cause safely tucked away in foreign banks.

What they and desperadoes in general don’t want to understand, is that these meager life savings are rapidly disappearing anyway, with negative interest, multiple taxation and worthless currency.

These creatures  should try to understand real money which is counted in trillions and who controls it. – It sure ain’t the old folks.

Young people have the option to find a new job, to leave the country, and to start anew. Older people in their seventies and eighties have no such options.

If people choose to get lied-to they can’t blame the liar for the lie, they them selfs have become the People of the Lie

Clueless 2

 

From the Blogosfair.

~ There is a profound misunderstanding on the part of the authorities to claim that they understand the nations anger.
We can’t begin to talk about understanding, until at least one of them has experienced some of the following: auction of their home, life on unemployment benefits, – pensions, – disability benefits, standing in the food line at the family help center, having to eat at the Salvation Army’s day center and sleeping in a homeless shelter. Until then their balderdash is just insulting ~

At the same time the political and corporate ‘elite’ who collaborated and orchestrated the meltdown flatly refuse any accountability, and eagerly work towards getting back to their unfettered plunder and impunity.

Next on their agenda is to auction off thousands of peoples homes for pittance, as happened in America, and to sell them to people with “access” , who in turn will rent these properties to “commoners” at extortionist prices. – “Look ma no hands”. Disregarding their impunity , the pattern is distinctively SCAD-ish.

Is information transformative?

After the meltdown, we have been living the many aspects of perception management. Powerful and moneyed interests have tried to gain advantage in the war over our hearts, minds and natural resources.
The propaganda tools have been used to: predetermine, select, shape, control and restrict by the selection of topics, distribution of concerns, emphasis, framing of issues, filtering of information and bounding of the debate.
And as the “governors” know, they have nothing to support them but opinion (Hume)
The media has been preoccupied with glorifying economic growth, foreign investment and assured job creation on one hand and celebrities in rehab, political punditry and a mauling at the zoo on the other.
To counter (punch) this, a handful of people have more than made-up for this media brilliance, and thanks to them we are 85% ahead, with 10% brain dead, and 5% willing to sell their kidneys.
At the same time, the opinion industry tells us that the fears, prejudices, and whims of the rational voter wants to return power to the same people that got us into this mess.

Good riddance to “professional” politicians

It appears that the “traditional” and “vitally important” political parties and cohorts will be ousted from their comfort zone on Saturday 29th.

Before, in, and after the “meltdown” voters found their public servants somewhat lacking when it came to serving the public, and actually that they had reversed the roles, i.e. that the public should serve them and of course pay for the deliberate, callous and premeditated (reptilian) crimes committed by their sponsors.

It will be most gratifying to see politicians join the common people on the dole queue and thus share with the people what their “vitally important” brilliance has accomplished.
