Yesterdays reversal of the on again off again recession is not amusing anymore. In fact I think it deliberately planned to confuse. There is nothing good coming out of a government that act stupidly but knows exactly what it's doing. Yes, that statement is intentional.
While we're trying to figure out what the heck they're doing and why, they are cunningly undermining all arms of the free market. Signs are everywhere, but so many seemingly disconnected for confusion, so the straight line is difficult to draw.
Eroded have been: property rights (Eminent Domain, Supreme Court), water rights, agriculture, health care rights, just to name the more recent ones. But if that is not enough, what is coming next, is what should worry you more.
I believe all pieces are in place and this government is confident in it's victory to dis assemble the American Constitution finally and ultimately. No one appoints so many cabinet "czars" with powers above Congress unless their intent is doing exactly what I said. I'd like to believe that no Congress no matter how stupid would actually pass laws they know little or nothing about without coercion. If they did, then they signed their own ineffective futures. I've said as much in previous posts, but now it all is coming together is a package I think we'd rather not receive.
While we're worried about tax cuts and housing starts, they are making sure that our dollar is worth less so we will end up on a more equal plane with the rest of the world. Remember that the master currency manipulator, Soros, is very much involved with this government in many areas.
Initially quietly in it's background funding the organizations like MoveOn.org for the purpose of causing mistrust, and unrest under the Bush administration then later to infiltrate is help dis organize organizations by spreading fear and mistrust. Soros now is funding many different organizations all to assist the current government. But the most dangerous besides the currency manipulation is his education foundation of which I have known since the early 1990's.
Through this foundation children will be taught to be good and obedient followers of the totalitarian government being put into place. Subtle to it's core, most parents will not have a clue until the food or garbage police will come knocking because the children reported the bad behavior of their parents. Then, you will know fear like the rest of the world has known but it will be Americans turn to realize at that moment what they have voted away, given up, which they utterly thought ridiculous when warned about.
I no longer care to label it because it's a waste of time. I don't think this election will matter. Remember that Congress is no longer effective or important, except for keeping a face on until it's not needed. Otherwise the administration would be far more concerned about the outcome.
What should worry you is that I don't even think there will be a another presidential election except for show.

Technology and Logic
How far have we come in our evolution is really stunning when looking at technicals and their ability to assist us in connecting not only across the globe but farther into the Universe than ever before. It is truly magnificent when one contemplates it, but it's also truly very humbling when one realizes how little we really know.
Each advance seems to give us more yet it in my opinion it takes a lot more away. We, instead of growing and expanding ourselves with more knowledge, now rely on knowledge being fed to us without study. We believe a lot more advertisings without question, and what is more, we tend to rely and demand that others protect us from our lack of knowing and our lack of logic.
Take for example, the recent decision by Toyota to add engine noise to the Prius for the reason that many pedestrians are surprised that there is a car approaching as they step off the curb. (kind of like adding noise pollution when we achieved reducing it) Logical? I don't know about your neck o'woods but in mine even with engine noise, most pedestrians sorely lack the art of looking prior to stepping off the curb. It is not a new phenomenon, it has been the norm for quite a long time in fact. Mostly due to the drummed in knowledge that pedestrians have the "right of way". Of course, it makes no logical sense that they not look; yet still they mostly do not. Add to it the wonderful world of cell phones to the ear and even better, the ability to text while they walk, and viola, engine noise or not, they walk off the curb expecting the car to be able to stop at their presence.
The media, with serious "logic" then announce on the evening news, after a pedestrian is hit, that drivers need to be more careful when pedestrians are present and never mention that perhaps pedestrians need to practice the age old logic of stopping, looking both ways, before stepping off the curb. Of course it's too late for the poor pedestrian who was injured or worse, and the unfortunate driver at fault or not. The lawyers will battle out the fault logical or not.
Well, I could go on, but I think many will get the point that technology does not make us smarter, but only more vulnerable to traps of comfort. One day we may wake up from our stupor realizing that we now happily accept being told what to do, what we can have, how we should eat, how we should dress, where we can throw our garbage, how much water we should consume, what size living space we can have, how much fat, where we can go, what we can drive....
Oh, I just realized, we are already there.

Laborers as Capitalists
Which laborer scenario would you choose as a worker? One that will allow you to excel given your input and talent or one that will allow you to be like everyone else and get paid for what you and they do, as you go?
Behind the labor movement, I think that is the most encompassing question. I have no doubt that mankind, who are not allowed to excel, will not reach their potential and I have no doubt that there are those who do not care, but maybe because they don't truly understand what labor is.
Truth is we are all laborers: be it those who work for ourselves or those who work for others. Labor is at the core of making any business viable. A business cannot survive without the output of hard work and I can bet you that every mom and pop or large corporation, looking far enough back to it's beginnings will have at the core, hard working laborers. The trouble is, that the media, be it in books, or documentary form, tend to concentrate on their big success and not the steps it took to achieve it. They tend to gloss over the hard days, the days that it takes every ounce of will to continue the labor and the quest for success.
Labor produces; be it on a farm, in a factory or at a desk. I labor every day doing what I do and I bet everyone does who puts in a minute of time into what they earn money with. Even the homeless who stand at freeway on ramps and exits with their sign do labor. But labor does not equate to money and those that have told you it does or should, have done a great disfavor to most.
The truth is that labor earns, but it does not always earn money. It can earn food for a farmer/gardener, it can earn the product for a inventor/fixer, it can earn audience for an entertainer, but does that mean they will be able to go to the bank with it? NO. Does it mean that all labor is rewarded by riches? NO. Does it mean that all who labor should be paid? NO.
That last one will probably raise shackles with many, but perhaps they miss the point. Labor is done for itself or better put, for the laborer, because there are two things we all earn in doing our labor: survival and satisfaction. Two very powerful motivators. A mother and teacher labors for their children. The entrepreneur labors over developing an idea. People all over the world labor daily for the food they eat if they are lucky. Some labor to sell their goods for return of money, but the labor is not paid in that case, it's the product that the labor produces which is what earns the money. All done for survival and satisfaction.
This is where most Unions and Socialists miss the mark. They tell you equal pay for equal work, which at the base is impossible, but even if it were true, human beings compete at every level of existence, and what they offer is a homogenized version of self, where pocketbook may be satisfied but not the soul. Is it not why workers measure everything by their earnings rather than their achievements? Do people go to work with them to earn money or to earn satisfaction?
And therein lies again the reason why all laborers are at the core, capitalists. We all, every one of us, after all that hard labor wish to get the most for what we produce, and rather than pitting one against the other, laborer vs owner, it's time to realize we are all doing the same thing and wishing to achieve the same goal: Success at the level of satisfaction which only our own labor of love can receive.
