Well the fool (or morals tutor as he prefers) over at gifthub.org has done it again. For some reason, he thinks philanthropy is supposed to be REAL. It is one thing to out the criminal enterprise of housing bubbles and “piratization” as I have tried to do. It is quite another to pull the system’s most prized air cover out from over it’s patriarchs and matriarchs. That is some kind of REAL high WASP chutzpah.
Next thing we know this fool will be asking Jay Hughes to explain what Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) meant in Godfather III — “The higher I go, the crookeder it becomes.”
These folk are very sensitive about all the “holier than thou” stuff. We are talking real money here.That said, I’m no cynic. If we have a REAL morals tutor, then maybe we could have a REAL aristocracy which takes responsibility to manage their REAL conduct and intergenerational pools of capital in a manner which nurtures REAL civilization. After all, before you can have REAL law, you need someone who we can trust to see right from wrong and teach the rest of us where and when to draw the line.
“As to the history of the Revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do We Mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the People …”
— John Adams
Say a prayer for our morals tutor. He stands between us and the abyss.
I’m thinking it was Gil Scott Heron who wrote “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, and wondering how he is doing, sitting in jail for drug abuse. It looks like the revolution is being televised– it’s just that nobody appears to be watching.
Why is it that when we go to your video about the falling dollar we see all the strange videos on the same page from My Space? Some are very questionable and I don’t understand why they are on the same page as yours. Maybe someone hacked your site or something?

Hi Catherine,
I heard a small amount of your interview with George Noory last night and was impressed with your ability to frame for us neophytes what the current recipe for bread and circuses contains.
Prince Fareye wrote a song titled ‘The Revolution will not be televised” which seems most apt some 25 years later.
Someone else asks ‘Who can make war against the beast?’
The problem is centered around the moral fabric of society. Greed or idolatry, if you will, is the culprit.
As such many simply don’t care about the truth. Only if it puts a stop to the game of which they deem themselves ‘winners’ will they come out of their slumber.
Your farming prescription. As the litany of small farm corpses attests. Will fall on deaf ears. It turns out that we like our slaves. Who would think that the benevolent banks would actually prevent them from continuing to bring wares to market below cost of production?
It is hidden food subsidies (corporate welfare) not economies of scale,(the u.n. has reported that small farms can be some 300 times more efficient than big agribusiness’s) that hide the ‘true costs’.
Farming because it is tied to the ‘externalities’ sheds light on the failure of the dream
(You know the one big ‘agri-farm’ with the one big bank, etc) which will soon turn into a nightmare if the entrenched ‘powers that be’ continue to be successful with ‘business as usual’. Like the chimp holding the apple in the vase who won’t let go, many (Thomas Homer Dixon for ex) are postulating that shock treatment will be necessary before requisite change can be attempted.
To thow out an idea. What about adopting the Canadian currency? 🙂 And instituting parity laws in order to provide a vehicle for migrating people towards a more sustainable future. Under the collective prescription that if we are going to choose not to address these issues they (the environment as we can see) will address us.
Small farming is the only semi-sustainable form of agriculture known. It can’t not work well with the vagaries of the market as it currently exists. And why supply management systems are needed. To do so sustainably requires large amounts of labour inputs.
Farming if done respectfully(to nature and the farm families) can provide a wonderful life. But as a prescription to increase the # of slaves for the new bourgeoisie, this will fail.
The consolation is this. The wealthy can not escape feeling the deleterious environmental effects coming. Coupled with the potential for currency collapse and restricted energy, it would seem either way that big change is a coming.
Cheers
Say a prayer for all of us in a world where truth is less important than propaganda. When the news is a cover story and plans are made far from the public eye. It is long past time to rally that saving remnant and take back the public square for all of us, in the name of the revolution that made us.
