The outright bad players (like Eric Holder) are resigning. Even Obama seems to have effectively checked out by playing golf through every crisis. But there always exists in any criminal organization a bunch of players who feel captured or at least hobbled by the system. They know that if they speak out loudly (or in some cases, at all) against the tyranny while the government is in an upward wave that they will be discredited or their airplane will blow up unexpectedly (yes, the sociopaths at the top would gladly kill 300 to cover the murder of one intended victim). These marginalized players want to live, they want to earn a salary and they tell themselves that if they are not in that spot then someone else worse than them would be and so they stay in the system doing as little damage as possible until the time is right to step forward. It is still a form of corruption but one that I am willing to forgive for those who come forward fairly early in the process and without already being under duress to do so. In the case of Comey, he has been fighting the wiretapping mess for years now as you can read in his Wiki so while he did not do a suicide run against the tyranny, neither was he "a company man". I think he classifies more like 5th column.
Well, Comey senses the timing to be right to take a more forward, public and vocal stance. He is making a statement that "not all of us are inherently bad" and "I'm not with them!". This leadership will not go unnoticed by the herd! I sense that this is the first step in the inevitable US return of American hero Edward Snowden. I believe this because Comey specifically mentioned the illegal wiretapping which was the basis of Snowden's initial accusations. Nobody is saying this right now. Everyone has mixed opinions about Snowden but nobody currently thinks he is anything short of screwed for the rest of his life. Nobody that is, except folks who understand that we are a herding species and that the mood of the herd swings in waves and that the stock market and other asset prices are a close proxy for the current mood. Snowden is about to enter a 3rd wave up folks. I predict:
- A return to the USA, hailed as a hero, people clapping for him.
- Lucrative interviews and speaking deals galore.
- The requisite NYT best selling book.
- A major Hollywood movie deal that will be well attended in the theaters.
Again, it's one thing for a Snowden, an unknown person who is cast as a traitor by his accusers (and someone with none of the Robert Ringer intimidation factors to prop him up in the eyes of the herd mentioned in this post) to cast aspersion on the federal government. In normal times with a normal guy, Snowden would be dead in a ditch or in a psych hospital drugged up out of his mind forever or in some torture camp somewhere and the public wouldn't know or care. But Snowden's timing coupled with his calm intelligent demeanor and his fluid speaking style along with his perfectly executed escape strategy allowed him to survive if only to live in exile (for now).
But it is a whole 'nother thing for an established government figurehead like Comey to basically agree with Snowden and not in obtuse, Greenspeak terms muttered around the water cooler. No, Comey went onto 60 minutes, a show of legendary fame and wide viewership across a broad socioeconomic spectrum, and told people what is right and what is wrong. Even a day laborer will understand the basic message from Comey and everyone will defer to his "new insight" in this matter because he does have the intimidation factors working for him that Snowden did not. Comey is literally the face of government law enforcement. Folks, its one thing for a politician to say this or that. Politicians flow with the wind and everyone knows it. They will lie and say anything in order to get elected. There are a couple of notable exception like Ron Paul but you can count most of them on the fingers of your two hands. But Comey's words will bear weight with the public.
This is another sign that the con men running the show are losing power, and fast. Know that they are the ones who pumped up the markets with the corrupt acts. As their power wanes, so will their ability to continue the pump. These admissions will reduce confidence in the con men and, without confidence, what is there left in a con game? The answer is simple: collapse of the con.
It would be one thing if this were the first time you have read this from me or anyone else. In that case, it might just be more noise that agrees with what just happens to be taking place. But, just as predicting stock chart moves in advance should say something about the predictor's true insight into the matter (or lack thereof!), having read these things in my blog for years now should, at least in the mind of the logical person, give my insights at least some small measure of credibility in these matters. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
For those who have proven (by reading this far into my long windedness) that they have the attention span of a scholar, here is another read from my blog that few have probably seen given that it was written back in March of 2010. It mentions, at the very end, the only real way that the false powers which control us rose up in the first place; the decline of that same thing being the only way that we the people will ever truly regain control of our lives, our privacies and our freedoms.
Hey Cap'n,
ReplyDeleteI'm going on a bit of a tangent but what happens when our monetary system completely collapses? If this idea of creating money out of thin air finally comes crashing down, does that mean someone with no physical assets essentially become worthless? If a new monetary system were to be implemented after this crash, would our old "money" be transferred over? When this happens, it seems like complete chaos would ensue.
This is a big question for several reasons and thus deserves a post of its own.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Appreciate it.
