CONFIDENCE LOST

You may still think that miraculously a massive economy that shipped its manufacturing base overseas decades ago and turned its manufacturing energy into building McMansions that were then bundled into hundreds of trillions of mortgage derivatives to disguise the collapse of a once strong manufacturing based economy really is still alive. You may think that all of those massive military expenditures to fight global conflicts really do benefit us and are being supported by our economy and its strong tax base. You may actually think its “360 Billion” per year that this is costing us. You may think our budget is “only” in the red 700 billion this year. You may think our budget has a cumulative deficit of  17 Trillion. All of these numbers are not even in most people’s capability to comprehend. They cannot even begin to correlate their impact on their own lives much less the future of the country.

This is the CONfidence game. Its a remarkable endeavor that has reached such a level of complexity that its beginning to take on a life of its own. Its merging with the digital information age where an uneducated third world citizen can access information before many MSM outlets do through the magic of their smart phone. Imagine the pictures of the Kennedy Assassination if it occurred today. What would be the coverage? Look at what happened in the Boston Bombing? Why do you think no one believes the MSM today? 

The illusion of CONtrol keeps CONfidence in our Western banking system and for now at least the Dollar remains the most prominent currency, but the winds of change are growing stronger by the day now as many important economies are running from the dollar hegemony and its inherent evils. 

Many of us realize now, this country changed forever in Dallas on that fateful day in November of 1963. We suffered a Coup d etat and there was “never a tank in any town square”. It was the final head to roll. No one would ever be able to stop the coming storm. Eisenhower cowardly warned us at the end of his term and then remained silent. Others spoke obtusely, but never crossed the line. A few intrepid journalist like Seymour Hersch and Noam Chomsky have fought the fight for decades, but only a handful listen. Posner and Donahue were removed from the air on MSNBC with the highest rated show when they voiced opposing views on going into Iraq. Dissent is to be silenced, and eventually the heartbeat will follow. gl
