A time to speak...

Are you angry yet? If not, maybe I can help.

Gerald Celente is considered to be one of the most accurate Trend Researchers in the world.  It takes a special kind of mind to put pieces together, and come up with what things might look like down the road.  He's truly amazing, if you're willing to pay attention to him.  You're probably not, if you identify yourself with a political party.  No offense, but he's way past that nonsense.

At any rate, Gerald, of late, has been extremely angry.  Some of you may find it hard to hear him in the following clip.  Many people are turned off by anger, afraid of their own or others' anger, or have a hidden or out-in-the-open belief that anger is not an ok thing to feel, or, at least, to express.  I believe anger is an important part of the human emotional experience, and when understood for its value, is to be treasured.

If we could not feel angry, how would we develop good boundaries in our relationships?  If we never allowed ourselves to express anger, how would anyone ever be able to learn about how they might be effecting those around them?

Nevertheless, many people prize being "nice" over being genuine, and genuine people make "nice" people uncomfortable, nervous, or prone to negative judgement or avoidance.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it is written..."To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

I believe we have come to a time in human history where we must speak out, and we must express our anger.  I do not condone violence, and have the greatest admiration for Ghandi, who gave us a stunning example of righteous anger wielded in a peaceful way which resulted in a victory over a huge regime's abusive power.

Our government/banking/corporate/military-industrial system...and I do not like to separate them, for, indeed, they are one...is enjoying free reign in its exercise of abusive power, not only of people overseas, but here at home.

Today, I bring you two videos.  The first is spoken in a calm voice, illustrating for you how wealth distribution in America is far, far more skewed than you ever dreamed.  

(If you're interested in studying this further, there are many researchers and writers who will help you understand it...Matt Taibbi, who writes for the Rolling Stone has become a leading financial system researcher.  Also, Max Keiser and Stacey Herbert are not to be missed if you care to understand the historic changes that are under way right now.)

The second link is Gerald Celente, speaking in anger.  

I had a "friend" on facebook recently post a picture of Obama with the words...Stand By Your Man.   I remember learning the lyrics to this song from the 60's for a cover band I was in years ago, and it was embarrassing to sing them.  

The words in Stand By Your Man express the dillusions of a woman so in love with "her man" that she's clearly acting as a doormat for the guy.  I didn't bother to respond to this rather stupid fellow, as he's pretty gone, and incapable of critical thought.  But it did remind me that there are many people so "in love" with Obama, that they don't even bother to look at facts, or listen to any other point of view other than..."it's the evil Republicans fault...every damn thing."  

To think in this ridiculously limited, left-right, check box A or B way, is to be firmly in the trap that has been set for you by the corporate owned media, 90% of which is owned by 6 mega corporations who are firmly in bed with the four largest international banking instutions and oil and gas companies.  

You'd be astounded to see how few people are actually in on the top tier of these international giants, who sit on each others' boards and own lots of stock in each others corporations.  Tiny, tiny group with humongous wealth and power over EVERYTHING...beyond your imagining.  

I might add, if you don't get yet that war is a racket, and very good for these folks' pockets...you need a reality check.  You could start with "War Is A Racket" by Smedley Butler, where he lays it out in detail.  

As you know, I don't identify myself with parties, so it's very worrying for me to see this extreme emotional attachment to a politician.  And Obama IS a POLITICIAN all the way.

I do want to say, too, that these top politicians are not actually calling the shots. They're there to maintain your illusion of choice or "freedom," to take the heat, and sometimes, the fall, for what the guys really in charge are doing.

(You might want to look up The Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, and The Trilateral Commission.  You'll find information about lots of wonderful people like war criminal Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney, among other illuminaries...and please, don't be confused by Cheney's recent attacks on Obama for Benghazi...what a show they put on!!!  Cheney was the guy to give the stand down orders during 911...Is this the pot calling the kettle black or what???  For more info on this, it's important to understand who benefitted tremendously money-wise, from 911.  The information is easy to find, as there are lots of researchers who have worked on unwinding the paradigm-changing truth around this event for years, as well as hundred and hundreds of engineers, architects, and aero space scientists.)

But I do have to hand it to this tiny, influential group of seriously unbalanced psychopathic savants...after 8 years of looking at guys like Cheney and Bush who were soooo easy to hate, they chose Barack.  Man, he is the slickest politician I've ever laid eyes on, and for those who like to out-source their thinking to a political party, sooo easy to love. 

So, if you're not angry yet...well, I hope you become angry, then I hope you think about Ghandi...and I hope you don't join the Republican Party...

I say, you know why they call them parties?  They don't work.  At least not these two completely corrupted main stream parties.  

What works is us, people...we think, we feel lots of interesting and complex emotions, sometimes we sacrifice ourselves for the benefit of others, we work together and independently, we build, we dance, sing, make up jokes, we love, we create...and sometimes we get mad.  

We, the people, the ones who have not sought high office or success in the swamp we call Washington DC...we are pretty damn cool, even when we're angry.
