“To Be Truly Radical Is To Make Hope Possible, Rather Than Despair Convincing.” [Raymond Williams]

Uploaded and passed along thru many channels. [http://youtu.be/0DF_xKAO8aM]  Re-post it if you so desire.

We are really getting the hit-hard energies now. “Here we go” doesn’t seem to scratch the surface of what it feels like to this blogger. I can barely handle waking up in the morning at this point.

I will post more as things calm down (some what) for me.

An open letter to the economy … revised slightly. As always, a valuable documentary follows. (Should be mandatory education)

Below is a quote from one of Charles Eisenstein’s essays.

“Stumbling” upon his work has brought me some much needed mental rest, and a little distance from the feelings of hopelessness for a future… for myself (and many of you who have written in about these feelings). To be honest, I am almost numb with overwhelm and shock at the current state of the collective un-consciousness and the desire of the ‘majority’ to stay complacent and addicted to this world-reality. 

Eisenstein offers a collage of out-of-the-box ideas for a financial do-over, sustainable community wealth, and Living The Gift-Time Bank Currencies, a little good news amidst the deluge of doom and gloom.

Here are most of his links so you can read his essays, listen to his talks, and just do some general “de-schooling” as he calls it.

“We have been betrayed. After centuries of sacrifice on the altar of technological development, we harbor a deep disappointment and anger. We export that anger onto the Illuminati, or whoever it is that has robbed us of The Future. Surely this technological utopia exists – it has only been withheld from us, and the technologies of paradise turned toward nefarious ends. But the real problem is deeper than that. It is the paradigm of control itself that causes us to sacrifice everything in pursuit of a mirage.

The conspiracists agree with a defining precept of our civilization: that the world is fundamentally amenable to control. They think that this power to control has been turned toward evil, but do not dispute the technocratic doctrine that society and the material world can be endlessly improved through the methods of science: gathering information, making plans, eliminating variables, applying force, and so on. To believe that the NWO conspiracy is even possible is to conform to one of the primary motivating and justifying beliefs underlying totalitarianism. The NWO believers are not as radical as they think.

Conspiracy theories ascribe a degree of competence, foresight, and efficiency to the controlling organizations that is generally foreign to human institutions.  We live in a civilization built on control, on the idea that we can order the world through material and social technology and, once we perfect those technologies, win the war against nature, against disorder, against uncertainty. But in fact, the world is messy, chaotic, and unpredictable, and no matter how tightly we attempt to orchestrate events, control slips through our grasp like mud through a clenched fist. We are immersed in an ideology that says that with the next technological revolution, with next medical innovation, or the next set of comprehensive regulations, finally we will get all the messy variables under control and live in an orderly, secure world.

Are there really ultra-intelligent, ultra-competent people on top whose plans actually work and whose technologies actually succeed in molding the world to their plans? Or are the elites of our civilization as confused and scared as the rest of us, responding to events that, at every turn, take on a life of their own? The futility of control is written into the fabric of reality. Complex non-linear systems such as a body or a society are inherently unpredictable. Of course, those in power try to maintain control and often wreak awful damage in so doing, but generally speaking it is events that control them, and not the other way around.”

[’60 Minutes’ Blows The Lid Off Congressional Insider Trading' AGAIN]

Greetings & Salutations… From Poofness

Well, here goes, people have been snatched and put in undisclosed locations, thievery is being met with ‘instant karma’, so the arrests have already begun.

I’ve heard of 3 locations, offshore on ships, the hague, and mainland china. Europe can’t make it without The infusion, yes, and some banks will shut their doors as the new system takes over.

*Damn, is it so hard to be honest in today’s world?

They also had to fix something at the us treasury, no names were mentioned, so it’s just pure speculation at this point. That comes down to who somebody hates the most. That judgement is going to come back and bite some butts out here. Folks just don’t have enough information to be pointing at anybody, plus some folks have had to keep their cards really tight to the chest so you’re free to let your mind wonder. The news is only giving you folks reactions, but it is not telling you what they are reacting too. Last week 60 minutes, exposed the money making going on in congress and this past week I watched politicians in some really bad moods. Catch it tonight, Lagard will have some choice comments for you to hear.

The ‘platforms’ have been funded, by metal, so the freakout will only get louder. Fiat currency is headed for the toilet and the big boys know it. None of this is really a secret anymore, you are watching the reaction of the end game being put right in their faces. Kimberly Clark stock has got to be rising right now, with all these folks losing control of their bowels right now. Intense abdominal issues are up for all kinds of folks, so the flight and fright zone is being hammered. Hang on to your shorts folks, the ‘fix’ is here, and they won’t lose the moment on somebody trying to throw a monkey wrench in. People are poised and in position and some of these folks running their mouths are going to be embarrassed for having led a bunch people off a cliff. These forthcoming announcements in the east and the west, will get the public hip to what has gone on for 100+ years. It’s really just a foreclosure on a planetary scale. You will know who borrowed but did not pay. The word given to me was ‘because they did not share’. Greed, got ‘em in the end.

BTW, level 1 and level 2, are done…we make all that stuff liquid. That puts things in a position where the unhappy will start becoming vocal.

Have a wonderful future and don’t take any wooden nickels.

Love and Kisses,
Poofness
