  11. The problem is seen many places in the world right now - Trump is the crown of this stupendous reality. People as such do not know what to do about it even if they know that this is wrong. We discuss it on social media etc. but all who are just a little informed know that there are two answers - the blue pill or the red pill. Proceed as nothing has really happened knowing that the whole system is bugged and rigged or proceed to option two which is revolution in some way or another - Move outside the grid, reconnect with nature get back to the roots or become political or ideologically involved etc. There are also a green pill which properly would be the most sane option avoiding the extreme conflict. A main problem is that the power elite managed to take over the mass media for good. It will take a long time yet before the "TV only" generations have passed, so their opinion is still influential, the can still vote and do so in other western countries. Nobody never really wanted to hear the Truth, because it would lead to the realization that everybody essentially should change parts of their life and living style for the benefit of the greater good. In the West the majority of people have been more comfortable than realized and perhaps also appreciated. When we move into the comfort zone it is difficult to leave it again - A dog do not want to share his bone. Trump is the symbol of this idiocracy, he also have appealed the the American blue collar men, who in fact does not car about minimum wage - what they car about is a steady job more than anything. Something that there will far less of in the not so distant future - A robot revolution is around the corner and it will mean that most of the so called regular jobs will be replaced over time. The replacement will start in the western world, but enough about that.... The problem with Trump and his Business while being President should in fact be a big issue. But if the establishment and those controlling the media are playing their game they will properly await the outcome of his play - Seize the moment to get it their way, when he eventually has cornered himself and need the real help to get out of the mess. As such for now I think all those circles of power are simply watching to see the nutcase unfold. Mostly they care about their own investments so that is why they are watching. Rothchilds and others a fameous from being exceptional at framing people and surely they are by now developing the play of various Trump scenarios.

  14. Well I did not like Hillary, I do not like Trump and Obama had a great character, but what happened behind the scenes was just as bad. In most places around the world people are being lead by nuttcases suffering from one or another disorder - as average people we must consider why that still is so. I do not know exactly what will happen under Trump, but it looks like it is gonna be a kind of American Purge and that it will take some years - I guess we will soon be under Chinese economic leadership, whatever that means in reality. As such I do not like the Chinese much, pretty grouse and cynical in many aspects, but they have the momentum and when they do stuff they see it through. What one have to realize about the China is the immense potential for economical growth. The Chinese can go and build a whole new city for 10 or 20 millions residents and they do. That is equal to a new New York or new London each time they do it - Just consider when was the last time such an immense plan was executed in the USA or in Europe ?. That is how immense the Chinese potential is. I´m guessing, but I think the Chinese economic power will already be present sometime during 2018 - and the USA will have a lot of internal challenges to be solved at that time. Europe might be in an even more soaked situation between the power transition, while not being able to truly unite - as we sadly never could in Europe. In any case all people should start to consider local growth plans, be it local services and craftsmanship, repairs and local production - especially locally grown food could become a real saver. And do fight to keep your water in the hands of the local community. We can not live without drinking water that is the very basic of it, whatever you might stand politically - if the shit hits the fan and there is no water you and everybody else will be doomed, we can not go hunt new drinking water neither prey for it to be clean. Try to unite out there and especially int eh USA - remember you are named "United States"....

  20. I would love to see some straight up journalists go and ask very rich people if they really needed this Tax cut? - If they answer yes, then ask why and what they are gonna spend the extra income on?. Fact is that trickle down economics never has proven to work - What happens right now seams more like extremely violent milking of the cow before it´s being slaughtered. If it would be more profitable to create new jobs than investing in e.g fast market wall street digital money, then jobs would be created already. I think at the next election more Americans might need to understand the meaning of Social Democracy as a refection pool to republicanism - and I´m not pretending that Social Democracy is perfect because it is not, but neither is extreme capitalism. It needs to be understood to spur a less radical debate and to produce some other ways for society to progress forward - everybody needs to see both sides of the plate. What happens if the majority of people can not afford to buy the most basic stuff and /or perhaps a little bit more - Who is gonna buy the products and services that are being offered and produced?. Somehow It does not make sense - it´s appears to be an extremely short sighted agenda and it resembles the kick that sociopaths gets out of scaring or tricking people - certainly it does not resemble any kind of long term plan or having any kind of conceptual vision behind it. Just short term greed. Thus If they get this Net Neutrality agenda going we will not even be able to have this debate any longer here on social medias. So left and right and whom else can not discuss and debate anymore. I think nobody sane would want this. It is even counter productive to the Free market mechanism - How are new startups, entrepreneurs and other business owners, not in the top league going to promote their offerings if the market ground is already controlled by media conglomerates?. This resemble more of Stalinism than of the idea behind the Free Market and even under the understanding of Republic - Freedom under the law. But congratulations to the very rich - I hope you will use this Tax cut to start some visionary businesses that can create jobs and prosperous environment for more people and for the society in general. But sadly I do not believe it for second before I see it happen.

  28. Civilizations come and go and have been doing so for at least 10.000 years – With various unexplained Monoliths around the globe, the period might much longer than 10.000 years. And even if he should show up I am quite sure there is little he can do, if Bilderberg members bring on Aliens into the midst of the chaos, along with Trump going to Jail even turning water into wine is not going to clean the oceans from microplastic or stop Genie Oil and Gas looking for more places to find the black gold, while the international Troops are sent into underdeveloped countries to fight proxy Terrorist armed with weapons from the USA, Europe, Russia, and China. I am also sure that the sentence God Bless America or any other religion and nation praising their God when they go into war committing rape, murder and spilling blood generally will eventually lose its popularity and so the planet and most of the idiotic humans we are will cease to exist for a period – Which properly all in all will be a good thing, at least for the planet and its other inhabitants. God, Jesus, Allah and other supreme entities can take a rest and do not need to continually pay attention to all those worshippers constantly praying for one thing after the other, fearing everything and denying any responsibility in the mess – because it is so that God intended it. And I am quite sure that no one on the planet today lived 2000 years ago meeting Jesus to get the warning directly and unchanged from the source – So essentially it could simply be Fake News – at least it would not be the first time that the endgame has been worded while still not happening - At least that is a truth. "Religion is for people fearing hell, Spirituality is for people who have already been there". David Bowie

  29. Well, that is at least half or more of the goal – Keeping people scared, keeping people in fear. When we live in a fear state we behave differently and for some, it means to be more open to radical opinions and there are many other behavioral impacts of "irrational" fear state. This fear state is and has been constantly nurtured over many decades and in particular post-WWII. The Cold war was a very prolonged fear state and later "The war on Terror" – Which essentially was a staged and to some degree pre-planned campaign, which is still in motion. If you live in the USA – War coming from the outside into the US is highly unlikely. Strategically the US sits in a very solid spot with the two largest oceans on either side – and there is very far to e.g. the Middle East – A place like Iran is about as far away as you can get from the US borders. Thus not to forget – but the USA has the largest Army by a long shot in the entire world. If something extreme like a nuclear explosion is gonna happen – be assured that the USA is not the place of the event. Offcourse it would still be a catastrophe of immense proportions no matter where in the world it would take place. If you live in Israel you have far more real reasons for having a higher state of fear, but even that can be discussed to some degree. Most of all there is a power game ongoing – and it has roots in the control of natural resources, Oil, Gas, and prospects of pipelines. Russia would be the biggest threat in that regard, but as long as Trump is on some level with Putin a full out War is not going to happen – at least not in foreseeable future. Most of these war "jingles" serve many other purposes – one part is to keep the War industry running. Without wars or prospect of wars and conflicts zones, the stockpiles of weapons and munitions would be so immense and the market for buying war material and munitions would simply decline, which would have a huge impact on the US and also the European economies. Ringing the fear bells of war is simply a way to keep a continued support for having a strong military force which can be used to control the access to the resources in case other deals are not possible. It is economy first and was for a very very long time. Many wars before even WWI was funded by the same world-leading families and they funded both sides of the conflicts. There is no money to made by the all-out destruction of the world – but prolonged wars on foreign soil is on the other hand, fortunate for those with the money in that industry. Just an example: But in the beginning of WWII Ford Industries delivered most of the engines to the German War Vehicles – So when you get this fear – remind your self that it is most of all about the money and it is a business more than anything else. Full out destruction and in particular with nuclear weapons leaves the soil and thereby the resources or other business prospects, like rebuilding contracts more or less inaccessible – That is not good for business. it is tragic that we are still in this primitive state of mind, but do not take all the war "jingles" too seriously – at least not in a way that impacts your daily life a negative and non-productive state of fear. Perhaps the Trumpy "Fake News" has its real point in this regard. Cheers ;)

  38. It is not easy to clarify completely or as any factual truth. The war for resources like oil and gas has never ceased, but since 9/11 and in combination with the internet the "reality" has changed drastically for the common person. Conquer and divide is not a new thing for the power elite and for politicians – but what can be staged now is immense. In that regard what used to be far more independent news media in the West is now more or less contained within 5 mega-conglomerates, that is not good for the general diversity of the mainstream media flow. And I mention that because another fact is that many countries in the West have large generations that now are getting pretty old, which sadly for a large part turns to very narrow viewpoints, conservatism and "it was better back then" type rhetoric. The problem of the large older generations is that many systems will soon be on a heavy financial challenge to service the generations that are no longer productive – But it is not all on them far from it. Financially the West have overall not really made any significant steps to create more longterm based stable economies – instead, the speculation market has skyrocketed out of control with e.g algorithmic automated investment systems that create fast turnarounds which have nothing to do with the actual and real productivity in a country. Even further this financial systems have speculated to far worse extend with collapses and taxpayer money payback like in 2008. One economist described the long low rent influence on the market as a person who has been on cocaine for 10 years and then suddenly stops taking cocaine with major recovery problems to follow. Also "Starving the Beast" must be mentioned – just look at how much the low-end salaries in e.g the USA has stagnated over the last 30 years. Countries with weak or corrupted unions have paid a severe price for this lack and at some point, a person can only take so much before frustration becomes an everyday sate. That is when the divide sets in and we humans have a really bad habit always blaming others to avoid seeing our own fails, or part in creating our own misery. When the "beast" has been starved enough it will eat nearly anything, bark and bite at anything. It does not take much news to get the public to rise against e.g Muslims or other minorities "Acts of Terror" etc. – looking at the real numbers for these events in comparison to the media coverages and their effects on public opinions makes it evident that it is a highly political and manipulative endeavor. That said we can not neglect that the West has lived on a somewhat fatal illusion about what really brings happiness and prosperity to the majority of people – Pure Materialism is certainly not the finite answer – Democracy is after a certain period of time doomed to fail due to corruption and nepotism and brutalist communism or national socialism has never worked either. As such one could say that in our materialistic life we reached a new high, but the downside was falling into a form of luxurious apathy leading to ignorance to more large picture warnings. Overall we must simply acknowledge that our so-called industrial revolution and also the so-called "Very High" living standards of the West has come at immense costs on many levels – everything from oil wars, the abuse of slave-like labor in third world countries for cheap productions, our never-ending need to constantly growth leading to highly controversial productions methods like GMO, use of Penicillin on healthy animals, pesticides ending in the water reserves, and a Pharmaceutical industry that has very doubtful agenda – reading: "If you completely heal people you have lost a customer", and many other highly destructive events. In all this race to stay on top, to lead in the world we have completely forgotten that we all live on the same one planet and that our resources usage has grown to insane levels – Even last year the world had used its quote of available world resources in August. Our way of modern living is simply not sustainable, our financial systems have become speculation wealth that does not reflect the real productivity of our societies, The internet has opened the gates to an immense amount of valuable information – But users are still suckers for "reality show news", fast drama and TV Candy – Essentially we have neglected the often quite nasty facts behind the "machine" that has brought us to this point in time and we are still neglecting it. And lets also not forget that moving technology to Asia and in particular to China was essentially a fatal strategy if anybody wanted the West to maintain leadership status in the world – But the world at large is not driven by such thinking – the West is now driven by fast growth, fast earnings, short term populistic and highly nepotistic politics and no real broadly accepted or even debated visions for where we aim to go for the next 50 years. That is something that China has already laid out as a 5 pillar concept. If any leading politician in the West would read out the 5 pillar concept from China – we would drop out jaws in hearing such thinking spoken out loud. Trump is properly the mark in time giving a very large hint that we need to get our shit together and that the politicians are not gonna solve anything really, that the market-driven forces will continue to think profit and that we "the people" are in it and essentially the only ones that can bring real change by changing the way we live and the way we reflect about the lives we live. To continue as nothing has changed and as nothing will change is for sure fatal on so many levels. What we are witnessing and what you rightfully call a chaotic TV reality show is a very large hint to question what is our reality? – How did we end at this point? Post Trump will surely leave some rather big questions for the general public – Is this really what we want? is this really the only way?. And for the world and for the USA in particular, the understanding of the word "Freedom" will need redefinition and re-clarification. "It is not the strongest, nor the fastest of species that survive, but those most adaptive" – The question is if the West wants to adapt in pure necessity with no other options or if the West wants to be clever about it, plan ahead and start implementing general changes to our perception, understanding and of our current way of living.

  39. Nothing can stop drug usage by force – it is a part of the traits of our culture. Either we need to change part of the culture that creates a strong divide and exclusion for the people that does not fit the "Norms" or it needs to be legalized so that the criminal relations to the drugs are minimized. Neither is something that is easy to do. Modern cultures in the west have gradually lost most of their relations to nature and local social communities – Materialism cannot solve these issues because humans have emotions. Even very rich people have problems and some also drug problems – You can essentially have everything in check and still end up with having problems. Legalization demands for openness about the actual problems that drug abuse can cause but done the right way it will take away a lot of money (abilities) away from organized crime and in the best cases create new jobs and economic growth. And the Wall yes ooh the Wall – No it is not gonna do shit about drug trafficking – the Cartells and related crime organizations have so much money that losing some planes, boats, trucks whatever does not mean anything at all – hell they even use submarines. So the Wall for stopping drug trafficking is absolute pure nonsense. And drug trafficking is not going to stop as long as there is a demand – And the Demand is there and it is huge and drugs are used in all levels of society. Anybody want to stop drug trafficking needs to look at the reasons why people use drugs – If people have fewer or no needs for drugs, then a large part of the market will simply disappear. The USA and many other countries have essentially wasted billions of dollars trying to stop drug trafficking by force for a very long time – The results of these efforts are laughable – like a drop in the ocean. Even when Drug fighting agencies catch a huge chunk or get some high ranking members behind bars it still has close to zero effect in bigger scale of things. when there is a need for something – somone will provide for that need. Stop one man and another man will take over. Citizens with a strong belief in strong law and order are often not getting the bigger picture in regard to drugs – the fact that it can not be stopped (eliminated) by force only because there are reasons why people take and/or abuse drugs and for the most part it has nothing to do with the providers of the drugs – at least that does not be a bad cycle really starts. Fighting drugs as it has been done for the about last 5 decades is more or less completely useless. The only thing it accomplishes is for politicians to have scapegoat issues to point too while not facing the real problems that need to be addressed and someway solved. It also keeps the law enforcement departments having enhanced budgets which again provide sale options for companies delivering equipment to the law enforcement. One must just take into account that many of these companies also sell their equipment to other buyers – so what should give an advantage to the law enforcement is immediately negated and rendered null. There are no easy solutions to this and no finite answers – but what has been done so far is a waste of money and manpower. Surely a Wall is not gonna change anything at all in this regard.
