Olympus,

I'm looking forward to the discussion, too. It's nice to hook-up with you again!

This thing has the potential to hit very hard. Do I think it'll work? Hell no... we're asking to remove all borders and flags, stating the obvious that all Earth's resources are a collective heritage and we shouldn't be ass-holes to each other. But the crazy thing is that it's totally do-able. If you start getting locked up in some FEMA camps or whatever, it's probably a good sign the Owners are loosing power. But that of course is the ugly way. There's a smooth way as well, and the Z Movement is really growing in positive energy. A welcome conjuring to counter act the Hungry Ghost of the Scare-city.

The current Empire is a House of Cards. That's why it reacts in such a brutal way when threatened. How brilliant of an Empire too. Never has one been some ingenious as to have a whole bunch of Self-Appointed Guardians of the Status-Quo. Wow. However, if enough people get empowered, Fear will lose it's grip.

Doing the transition from a monetary based economy to a resource based economy will have cataclysmic effect. Like a caterpillar growing wings. From scarcity to abundance. The data is there. This can be done, and it's not a Utopia. It's not perfect, just a way better OS. But at that frequency, the homo sapien is a homo veritas. And it can be done with a caring predisposition in a smooth transition. But for that... there's a big "let go" that needs to happen.

Unity is very important now. I said I don't think it'll work. But I'm betting it all right now, cuz it's the last chance. Honey Bee. The rebel has compassion. It's Herstory. Ma'at.

And this is what I think...

Conflict is everywhere in today's society -- it is the method to political madness...to polarize for effect, utility and ulterior motives...POWER! What we are in need of, is that altruistic spark that drove the unselfishness of our founding fathers to put aside their own desires and recognition-needs to build a civilization that was to go beyond their pre-existing experiences. We need ideas ahead of their time along with the impetus and strength to follow through in putting them to work. Where are the creative people with a passion for synergy and a penchant for the natural order of humaneness? Where are the visionaries?

Our plight of course could be wrapped up in what God showed to the patriarch...Enoch, who toured the length, width and breadth of Heaven and Earth -- Enoch was shown that mankind's sin was wrapped up in self-pride, and lust for woman. It started with the angels -- first with Satan not being able to resist taking all of heaven for himself, then others of his kind not being able to restrain themselves from coming on down to the planet to play with the irresistible daughters of man. Power corrupts eternal!

Civilization has rocked along for millennia, falling and rising, falling and rising and then falling again through versions on the same themes as the root causes for failure. Look at our own society chasing recognition and desire, all feeding off of human pride and lust. Womankind has once again found herself locked-in and used as the base reason or object for lust, sex crimes, racial hatred (fear of others taking their women), permissivism, addiction, false-play (collusion-networking), jealousy (fear of losing love), materialism (stuff collecting or score keeping -- female nesting), ambition (attitude one must have to gain a woman -- showing off to others), killing, raping, emotional-blackmail, insecurity and more. But, worst of all is a male characteristic for threatening violence or actual murderous activity as a means to what they think is ultimate power. It is all greed personified in the body of politics, becoming the obsession and addiction of the participants in a civilization's destruction.

When a society deteriorates to an "every person for themselves" condition, with love nowhere in sight, that civil-event is in an equilibrium state of death via chaos. Some characteristics of a civilization moving to this state are:

• Legislated morality and immorality -- ending traditional values in favor of dangerous or permissive issues in the guise of change.
• Untrustworthy Leadership -- seating of leaders that aid in the establishment of laws and policies that neglect the traditional values of
founding principles and tax beyond the means of the people.
• Loss of military order -- thus eroding the power to assert the basics of
human law and order in a volatile world. Unable to afford protection.
• Inability to create new jobs -- automation and cost-cutting aided by stringent governmental control causes loss of markets, financial solvency, research and development funds and finally loss of administrative will and creativity.
• Saturated population via migration -- influx of legal and illegal aliens seeking a better life begin to overtax the social structures thereby increasing crime and frustration...a nation of fear.
• Political polarization agendas -- groups establish elitist positions via false-victimization to divide and conquer a once united foundation to pit people against people. The majority is subsumed for the few. The few are usually represented by lawyers (700,000 currently working in America).
• Biased propaganda -- political agendas are in the sole possession of one political group. Their views, dialectics, rhetoric and other manipulative techniques are the only sources of infrastructural knowledge in the public domain.
• Education becomes total bureaucracy -- curriculums cannot keep up with leading-edge invention and job creation because of overburdening policy and mandating by pressurized state agencies. Education cannot accommodate increasing influx of immigrants and their polarizing politicians.
• Psycho-failure -- human ability to cope with exponential societal, or infrastructural expansion of government, legal profession, medical/health, business, community, and family, causes progressive burn-out, mental frustration and fragmentation of unity-systems.
• Government and individuals go bankrupt -- Greed of political factions creates hegemonic government that becomes the prime entity
over the people for which it was established. It no longer serves the people and takes all the assets leaving the people for the few who escape with it all as the nation sinks to barbarism or survival of the most violent.
• War between males and females -- differences are accentuated by polarizing politicians in order to divide what was once a human unit that complemented its parts. Females have in the past lost this war because emotion was their tool and physical violence was man's -- this conflict represents the ultimate death wish for humankind.
• The super-rich abscond -- small percentages (.01) of humanity seek secret enclaves such as remote islands (Ross Perot?), to ride out the social rebellion. They take their superior resources/technology and leave the mess they contributed to, with their greed and politics. They become the gods of tomorrow.

The above conditions are taking place in America at present, but there are still a sufficient number of citizens that know how to keep us from going to the final stages of total failure. The middle class Americans must not let these last phases of social deterioration go uncorrected. America and other democracies must become Humations or nations of humane and altruistic beliefs that will overcome liberal and conservative brinkmanship. Dialogue and understanding is the first step to saving a civilization. Conflict resolution must become an occupation of many in order to put the stops on a society headed for failure, but it must not be the old politically correct, intellectually derived version of liberal hegemony. We must become a Meritocracy. To reestablish a nation into a phase two form requires the following:

• Return to basic moral and legal systems or human responsibility.
• Install a Primary Tech (reevaluation of natural systems) curriculum in the public schools and adult programs to stress self-sufficiency and survival in a highly technological world as well as nature orient world. Encourage entrepreneurship.
• Create new Legal System amendment to the constitution mandating that all suits (court costs) must be paid by the loser which includes the lawyer.
• Eliminate all public references to races, genders, or groups and stress laws for humanity. No quotas, no special privileges for anyone other than teachers, (includes president, congress, government, groups, lobbyist).
• Mandate that all tax bills must first run the gamut of decreasing federal spending before any new percentage increase is voted upon.
• Establish tax credits for teachers that return to schools or seminars for added learning benefits to America's classrooms and economy.
• Establish across-the-board percentage tax (19%) rather than a graduated tax system, for every individual in America. Eliminate the IRS as a cut in spending.
• Stop all immigration into the United States, and develop a system of allowing persons to enter only when positions are found in the job force to support that person. Disallow any support for aliens such as free schools, medical, welfare, etc. unless a sponsor can be found in the current citizenry or they pay until they become a citizen.
• All aliens will be deported immediately at the cost of the alien, his nation, his family, or at the taxpayers cost. Our nation suffers for the few that have become the many.
• Increased aid to border nations and nations that tend to migrate, in the form of educational technology for their economic future should serve as leverage. Install programs to make that nation a good place to live. This should become our priority. Use Multimedia ED programs.
• Establish a merit system where experience, background, knowledge, passion, work ethic, and employment record will determine position rather than relying on educational courses taken or degrees held as a primary criteria. Credentialism must end when experience lacks.

• Religion is private and each person is responsible to keep it between themselves and their God. All churches have a right to petition the government for considerations. Moments of silence are encouraged in public but no one church may the stressed. Morality is encouraged based upon traditions of the founding nation and each citizen's church.
• Media have a responsibility to consider the programming worth of their products toward the public good. Educating consumers for street-smarts and criminal activity is counter productive to our children and our families. Soaps also have created increased consideration for family breakup and fragmentation of our nation. Networks must become more responsible.

As a nation, we need to get involved and change the course that we are now on. Otherwise, we will end just like all those other fools of the past. Isn't it time humanity finally did something right?

Hell, most of the Chinese Dollars were originally counterfeit anyway. They got it from the North Koreans too. Who knows how much they are passing off as real. China has one big problem...to many people in the countryside who are not getting to partake of their grandstand plays. Those folks will revolt someday and then, where will they be??? Probably in boats coming to take over your house with about 5-8 families in your home. Then, who will be a slave???
