More Disturbing Thoughts...

The economic debacle, the meltdown of laissez-faire capitalism, has reached the attention of those who try to control the uncontrollable, those who believe that force and violence are in fact, the answer to a great many questions, and those who have no understanding of what the terms "strength" and "power" really mean. We speak here, of those in charge of the military-industrial complex in the Empire of Sorrows, and lo and behold, here is a nice piece summarizing what these people are thinking, and we find: local and regional domestic "unrest," which of course must be met with, well, appropriate "measures" to beat it back. Suppression of rights, internment camps, and other rigidities inevitably follow. In other times, perhaps, this kind of outrageousness would remain on the down low, but when the already failed Administration of False Hopes has resorted to urinating away the future earnings of future generations by throwing said funds to the entities and elites who caused this economic meltdown, with scant regard for the vital needs of those who, if not already suffering, are scheduled to begin impoverishment soon, these topics become quite, shall we say, relevant to today's conversation.

Conspiracy Theorists, Put On Your Tinfoil Hats

Yes, it's another edition of Scary Stuff About The Government...bet you didn't know that the US government claims authority to confiscate gold, silver, and pretty much anything else it deems necessary to enable wars with any nation, at all, under any circumstances. Here's a letter from an actual US Treasury official to prove it. Secondly, one should be conversant with "Operation Vigilant Shield," the government plan to use the military domestically in case of a "national emergency," terrorist-induced, natural disaster, trumped-up reason, whatever. Unprecedented in scope, absolutely frightening in its potential. Also note that an "exercise" in the quoted plan is scheduled for this month. Just a few chilling thoughts to accompany the change in season....

The Power and Glory of the Internet: Militarization of the Empire

Here's a nice opportunity to view the excellent documentary Why We Fight if, like Chaos, you didn't catch it at the premiere. Isn't the internet amazing? This is quite an interesting film, in particular the roots of the military-industrial complex and how it has in effect taken over much of the Empire, as well as the gullibility of some of the citizens featured. Will send a chill down your spine if you've not encountered some of these ideas before.
