The situation this nation is in has been engineered and has been done intentionally and deliberately.

I do think that we are very close to the point that Thomas Jefferson would say is time for a revolt.

“The situation this nation is in has been engineered and has been done intentionally and deliberately.”

I agree that our betters have engineered the current situation. But all the drama about the TERRIBLE SUFFERING IN AMERICA is just silly.

Try Ethiopia during the famine with flies landing on your kids’ eyes. You want to boil grass for soup for your wife and ten kids. But there’s no water. That’s true for 1,000 miles in every direction.

I’ve often thought that this would be a great theme for a novel, to-wit: at what point does a good man decide that he must rebel against the existing structure of society, and do so violently? This is not as easy as it might seem. Evil men have always justified their deeds as righteous efforts at protecting themselves from the depredations of a society gone bad.

Correction: You want your wife to boil grass for soup for you and your 10 kids...

And that is part of the problem.

In America you can have steak in your soup for you and your 10 kids. The opportunity is there...you just have to take it instead of blaming everyone else for your problems.

Looks like liberal idealogy at that site. Citing the number of people in prison and the number w/o health insurance?

The link discusses a lot of statistics but doesn’t discuss the cause, other than to say it is a deliberate act by the “economic elite.” Apparently no arguments need to be presented.

For what purpose would the economic elite wish to support so many with their tax dollars? Do they enjoy seeing our ever-increasing undeducated masses suffer under their boot-heel? Why?

The linked column tells me nothing, but spouts a lot of populist drama that way overstates the plight of our “poor”.

They monopolize business in their partnerships with government (especially federal-fund-sucking local governments). They institute and implement the local regulations against domestic manufacturing starts while moving established manufacturing overseas. They raise electricity prices, after you use less gas/propane. The false environmentalists are members of their families—not ours. Corporate members of their families filed briefs in favor of affirmative action. We need new leadership in business, politics and academia.

They’re spoiled and out of touch. That’s why they all lean to the left and push for more socialist controls against your freedoms.

Prepare for and look forward to the big default. Be nonpolitical. Slow down. Become more self-sufficient. Develop a hobby at making something useful. Vote for the least of their chosen candidates every election. Then kick them beyond the curbs.

They won’t win in the long run. The MARKET will crush them. For every action, there is a reaction to equilibrium.

The article, which is intentionally misleading, can be shown to be exaggerating the facts by checking their own links.

Example:

From the article: The government has come up with clever ways to downplay all of these numbers, but we have over 50 million people who need to use food stamps to eat, and a stunning 50 percent of U.S. children will use food stamps to eat at some point in their childhoods.

From the link (shown in Bold) We go to a Washington Post article which reads, in part:

The nation's economic crisis has catapulted the number of Americans who lack enough food to the highest level since the government has been keeping track, according to a new federal report, which shows that nearly 50 million people -- including almost one child in four -- struggled last year to get enough to eat.

"Struggling to eat" is not the same as collecting food stamps. Additionally the article is based on a survey, so what does "struggling to eat" really mean? Long lines at MacDonald's or Costco? Giving up your cell phone to help pay the phone bills?

You have a good point there. When our more lucratively employed Republican and Democrat plutocrats are least able to enforce the zoning laws, LURs, HOA government and other laws against manufacturing and other domestic business competition, we'll start with Plan A then. Maybe they'll be smart enough to leave us alone and avoid necessitating contingency moves, but I doubt it.

It was only a question of time before the Illumanti, Freemasons, Trilateral Commission and Skull-n-Bones all linked up.

Oh and the Stonecutters

I just thought that they would be more stealthy about it...

The economic elite have robbed us all. The amount of suffering in the United States of America is literally a crime against humanity

Opps. Should have proofed it. The last line was meant to be: Giving up your cell phone to help pay the food bills?

The news media are sponsored, BTW, and the sponsors do determine content. ...much like the way that our government is controlled. Socialist government is a tool used by oligarchs to control slaves: to break their families--potential competition, to prevent their efforts to start businesses in many ways. ...even by colluding with foreign communist/fascist enemies. If any of you don't see guilt and fear on display by thieves, it's time to have a look.

the article is misleading in that almost all of us live fairly well...most of us are not rich or set for life ....most of us have to work to pay the bills...but we're still a great country with great opportunity....

but I'll say this.....I always grew up thinking that I was just as valuable a human being as anyone else..that the Kennedys might be richer but in Gods eye and Uncle Sams, our value and our rights were equal....

that lovely thought is drifting away with our freedoms.....

truth is...the elite rich STAYED rich while the stock market drowned...

it was our mutual fund money holding these people up...

and they seemed to escape the whole travesty....

I’ve personally known Freemasons who did nothing other than to work hard, oppose the balkanization that we’ve been subjected to and charitably support their communities. Some Council on Foreign Relations members, on the other hand, have betrayed their country and worked to enslave Americans to their bosses’ global monopolies and socialist designs.
