A threat far greater than our economy

This video linked to below is quite long as videos go; it lasts more than 2 hours.  But the information it contains is so basic and vital that it definitely warrants your serious attention.  It covers many aspects of how we are headed for serious trouble as a nation.  After watching the video, many people will look around at their own lives and think, “I don’t see all of this doom and gloom happening around me.  Yeah, there is a big recession, but recessions come and go so I’m not too worried about it.  Besides, the non-economic aspects talked about in the film sound implausible to say the least.” 

To that I would ask two questions:
  1. Did you see the economic crash coming?  When people who did see it coming tried to explain it to you, what was your reaction?  Did you go research the issues pointed out to you or did you laugh and roll your eyes and pooh-pooh everything?  If you were among the vast majority who could not believe the economy was falling apart, was this feeling based on research and education or gut instinct and emotion?  If you didn’t see the economic crash coming then would it not be well advised to at least take the position of “once bitten twice shy” when you are hearing warnings about the collapse of our freedoms?  Remember, financial prosperity and freedom have always and everywhere been tightly linked.
  2. Would you know if your house was infested with termites before it was too late?  After all, they are afraid of direct sunlight and they burrow into the wood stopping their destruction just below the surface so that you only see them if you probe the areas in question.   The damage occurs over months and years, not suddenly.  You can’t hear or see the destruction unless you are specifically looking for it after having educated yourself on the telltale signs.   The damage happens while you are working, eating, watching TV and even sleeping.  The termites grow and multiply because of the sustenance they receive from eating the wood; they use your own house in their attack against you.  Unless you are very alert you only figure it out after much damage has been done and in some cases where the homeowner is particularly sleepy and unobservant, the house is a total loss.

The people running the big scam are much like termites.  They are afraid of the light and they run their operations as quietly as they can so that things appear fairly normal.   They use the scary threats of terrorism and global warming as cover for their operations and they use our own resources to fund their operations against us.  The video clearly shows headlines and training videos and document excerpts which prove that even the boy scouts and girl scouts are being targeted to serve the cause.  If you are rolling your eyes at the thought of this, watch the video and see for yourself.  Stuff is happening all around us and most people are not looking for it so they have no clue.  When they do hear something about it, they move to pooh pooh it quickly instead of doing any real research to find out the truth.  Everyone wants to maintain the status quo because we live so well here in the US but once we let our freedoms slip away there is great likelihood that overall quality of life will slip away too.  Ignoring the reality of the situation is not going to stop the decline.  The best way to maintain the American way of life for the long run is to wake up to the parasitic scam that is happening and then work together to put an end to it.  Step 1 is education and understanding.  Please take the time to educate yourself and feel free tell others what you learned.
