What would have them do? Now I’m a firm believer in the old adage ‘if you are in a failed strategy, do something different, even if you think it is wrong, because you KNOW what you currently are doing is wrong.’ But in their case, what?
I’m trying to take your advice and put myself in their shoes. They get GM worker (pre-B.K.) benefits, like a couple of months off at full pay, but they don’t want austerity? They must not think they are in B.K. So they want their cake and the ability to eat it too. Until Newtonian physics are rendered null and void, that is impossible.
Regarding your other comment, about things being reversible, I wonder if you think that applies to Chinese (or Viet Nam , Bangladesh, etc.) made garments/electronics sold in EU/USA. I’m sure that is reversible, once the dollar loses its World Reserve Currency status. So I think that is the first order of business, trying to figure out how to gracefully reverse that. The UK did it 80 years ago, why can’t we? Just the small matter of giving up an empire, lol.

April 7, 2012 at 1:55 am #2355eugeneParticipantFrom reading most comments, watching TV, etc, I don’t see much of being able to wrap our heads around how the tens of millions living on 50K, let alone 20-30K, live. The ignorance re the invisible masses of Americans is staggering to say the least. I live in an area where the average family income is 35K so thoughts of wind power, solar power and all the rest of the “solutions” I commonly see may as well be on the moon. These people are going without medical care, food, etc. Buying a set of tires for the car is a major expense and we talk of electric cars when they are struggling to pay for a half worn out used one.
it is obvious to me that the vast majority of commenters and bloggers are living a standard of living far beyond the masses. I read a statement (MSN columnist) stating the increase in energy costs was having minimal impact on the economy. What planet is this guy living on?
I find myself becoming ever more disconnected from the world I read and watch. Things are so abstract I can’t relate. I, too, have trouble wrapping my head around things but it’s the modern world I can’t relate to.

Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.

If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
~David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405“In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities (Obama, Romney, O’Reilly, Maddow, Fareed, etc…) exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.”

istt, timing is a fool’s game. I know. 😉
I watch the media intently. Normally, they highlight the positive all the time.
Lately, the media has been used to spread negativity. I think this might be an indication TPTB are looking for a turn in the market (they play it both ways).
People wonder how the magazines invariably pin the top with a “too the moon” piece or the pin the bottom with a “stocks are dead” piece.
What they don’t understand is that the insiders use those covers precisely because they want to get every “sucker” in or out so they can change the direction of the market.
It’s like Hank Paulson saying that nonsense about the economy being stronger than he’d ever seen it in 2007 – he knew full well it was a bubble and he was trying to goose the last people he could to hang themselves with credit.
These people are demons.

We have a lack of respect for our fellow citizens, and a loss of morality and self reliance to blame for this current state of affairs. Simple enough and ugly enough.

I see the US reaching levels of unemployment and public debts (in the eyes of the bond markets) similar to those of Greece and Spain in about 2 years for the former and 5 years for the latter (ballpark estimates). Spain obviously hasn’t reached Greek in terms of public debts/deficits yet, but I believe they will get there within 1-2 years. Youth unemployment in the US is already very high, but still nowhere close to the 50% we see in Greece/Spain. We will catch up rather quickly, IMO, once the destruction of debt accelerates again (as opposed to just increasing at a flat rate). That debt destruction will most likely be triggered by financial contagion spreading from Europe to US banks over the next year, leading to widespread panic and asset liquidations, which forces large corporations into insolvency and bankruptcy. The largest banks will most likely be bailed out again, but it’s difficult to gauge how and with what money, as well as the American public’s reaction to all of it (it probably won’t be so much different from that of the Greeks and Spaniards, although maybe a bit subdued at first).
April 7, 2012 at 1:59 pm #2374Golden OxenParticipant@ Ashvin I am hoping and expecting gold to make an appearance somewhere in this period you write about; as an anchor or stabilizer, being the historic asset of last resort. Most likely in the form of a gold backed bond or currency, perhaps both, to restore public confidence in the confetti.
April 7, 2012 at 4:59 pm #2385backwardsevolutionMemberFrom Carroll Quigley’s “Tragedy and Hope” – 1966:
“There does exist … an international Anglophile network … which we may identify as the Round Table Groups. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected … to a few of its policies … but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.”
And:
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.”

Golden Oxen, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
The money changer criminals who have rigged the monetary system with Weapons of Mass Debt also control the majority of the gold. They’ve used a gold backed currency to beat down the people for ages.
As Thomas Edison told the New York times, “Gold and money are separate things, gold is the trick mechanism by which you can control money. That is the root of all evil.”
It’s not WHAT backs our money, it’s WHO controls its quantity.
As Vladimir Lenin said, the best way to control the opposition is to lead it.
Mises was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation… They saw an angle in promoting his views.
April 7, 2012 at 5:08 pm #2387backwardsevolutionMember@ Golden Oxen: “Let’s not get carried away with whales and ants, although most of what is said about different perspectives is certainly true.”
To me, when we get “carried away” and settle into a box is when we DO NOT SEE the whales and the ants. I don’t mean environmentally, but how their systems work.

My article wasn’t meant to suggest anything about what the “Eurozone mafia” knows or doesn’t know about how their policies are affecting everyone else and where they are leading Europe. We know for certain that they know what policies they are in favor of, and we can be pretty certain that they know how those policies almost exclusively benefit the corporate banking elite, since it’s pretty difficult to ignore when you are that close to the process.
Beyond that, I don’t think we can say that every single person involved knows exactly what he/she is doing or is a part of. A small minority of coordinated Eurocratic elites need the active complicity/support and ignorance of a much broader network of politicians, bureaucrats, officials, civil servants, private investors, etc. These are the people who could do well for themselves and for others by adopting completely different perspectives at multiple scales, because they will eventually be screwed over just as badly as everyone else by the policies they are helping to implement.
With regards to Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope, I would once again say that we must also take note of his own comments about how others have interpreted what he wrote in that epic book (following quotes are from his website).
None Dare Call It Conspiracy, using Quigley’s data, attributed to the Round Table Group a lust for world domination. Its sympathies were pro-Communist, anti-Capitalist, said the Birch Society book.
“They thought Dr. Carroll Quigley proved everything.” Quigley says. “For example, they constantly misquote me to this effect: that Lord Milner (the dominant trustee of the Cecil Rhodes Trust and a heavy in the Round Table Group) helped finance the Bolsheviks. I have been through the greater part of Milner’s private papers and have found no evidence to support that.
“Further, None Due Call It Conspiracy insists that international bankers were a single bloc, were all powerful and remain so today. I, on the contrary, stated in my book that they were much divided, often fought among themselves, had great influence but not control of political life and were sharply reduced in power about 1931-1940, when they became less influential than monopolized industry.”
And this,
“Skousen’s book (The Naked Capitalist) is full of misrepresentations and factual errors,” Professor Quigley said. “He claims that I have written of a conspiracy of the super-rich who are pro-Communist and wish to take over the world and that I’m a member of this group. But I never called it a conspiracy and don’t regard it as such. “I’m not an ‘insider’ of these rich persons,” Dr. Quigley continued, “although Skousen thinks so. I happen to know some of them and liked them, although I disagreed with some of the things they did before 1940.”
Skousen also claims, Dr. Quigley believes, the influential group of Wall Street financiers still exists and controls the country. “I never said that,” Dr. Quigley said flatly. “In fact, they never were in a position to ‘control’ it, merely to influence political events.”
The influential Wall Street group of which he wrote about 25 pages in Tragedy and Hope ceased to exist about 1940, Dr. Quigley claims. He also faults Skousen for saying that Tragedy and Hope’s intention was, in Dr. Quigley’s words, “to reveal anything, least of all a purely hypothetical controversy. My only desire was to present a balanced picture of the 70 years from 1895-1965. The book is based on more than 25 years of research.”
April 7, 2012 at 6:37 pm #2392backwardsevolutionMemberAsh – “These are the people who could do well for themselves and for others by adopting completely different perspectives at multiple scales, because they will eventually be screwed over just as badly as everyone else by the policies they are helping to implement.”
Totally agree with you there. They know not what they do; they need to step back from the situation. Most likely they got in the positions they did because they were conforming types, obedient, and totally bought into the current belief system. They don’t see the danger ahead of them.
As for Dr. Quigley, he may have said that the influential Wall Street group ceased to exist about 1940, but I’ll bet, if he were alive today, he would surely say they took a deep breath and got resuscitated around the Thatcher/Reagan period, were nursed back to health by the Clinton administration, and that they ARE presently in control of the country, again.

Agreed. It has always been a push and pull dynamic between the working class and the owner class, and since the late 60s, early 70s, the latter has shoved just about everyone out of the way.

April 7, 2012 at 7:41 pm #2399jalParticipantDid you find a meeting place where all of these conspirators get together to finalize their plots.
No???
Then try this link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Club
A number of past membership lists are in public domain,[5] but modern club membership lists are private. Some prominent figures have been given honorary membership, such as Richard Nixon and William Randolph Hearst. Members have included some U.S. presidents (usually before they are elected to office), many cabinet officials, and CEOs of large corporations, including major financial institutions. Major military contractors, oil companies, banks (including the Federal Reserve), utilities, and national media have high-ranking officials as club members or guests. Many members are, or have been, on the board of directors of several of these corporations; however, artists and lovers of art are among the most active members. The club’s bylaws require ten percent of the membership be accomplished artists of all types (composers, musicians, singers, actors, lighting artists, painters, authors, etc). Artistic members are admitted after passing a stringent audition demonstrating their talent.
April 7, 2012 at 7:52 pm #2401backwardsevolutionMemberCandace – “Perhaps he would say ” they were resuscitated and currently greatly influence political events. “
“Influence” is way too mild a word, like saying a punch is a slap, a slap is a wink. They had a windfall in their engineered boom, and they’re busy engineering now. To “engineer” is to exert some control over/to steer, because you are manufacturing.
No, there’s more than just influence going on.
April 7, 2012 at 8:21 pm #2404CandaceMemberI was not commenting on what you feel is going on. I was commenting on your characterization of what Quigley would say. Clearly he stated that they influenced events in the past. The effects of the influence they wielded then are clearly similar to the effects of their influence now, therefore I believe you are putting words in Quigley’s mouth to say that he would say they are in control of events at this time.
I am disagreeing with your appeal to Quigley’s writing to support your premise. He clearly did not agree with the premise of control rather than influence in the past, so it is in correct to state that he would characterize the present as a state of control rather than influence.
I feel that that is the difference between the way that some people read history. If an historian says something happened most of the time, that gets conflated into 100% of the time.
I am wary of the way some commenters on this thread wish to demonize groups labelled “bankers” or “elites”. If enough hatred gets going,how long will it be before someone who is educated or wears glasses is an elite? I think there are events in humanities recent past that shows how dangerous that can be.

April 7, 2012 at 9:41 pm #2407AnonymousGuestI’d gladly denounce criminal oligarchs for their deeds when no further blame can be allocated to my person. I find it helpful to remember that clustered sociopathy and associated subgroups of bankers, financiers and politicians, comprising less than 1% of the population, are directly responsible for 15%-20% of all our problems, but probably no more than that.

So because Quigley said that they “influenced” events in the past, he’d say it again? Maybe, maybe not. Certainly people like Bill Black and Janet Tavakoli believe there’s more than just influence going on. They call it “control fraud”.
“I am wary of the way some commenters on this thread wish to demonize groups labelled “bankers” or “elites”.

Wow, that’s a leap. You’re using your own argument, that it must happen 100% of the time.
So what, we just do nothing? We look the other way? Make excuses for their behaviour? Don’t go after them because that might lead to another French Revolution? Deregulate some more, just so it doesn’t appear we’re demonizing them?
Come on! Sometimes you have to stand back – really far back – and call a spade a spade!
April 8, 2012 at 12:00 am #2419CandaceMemberI suppose my pointing out that “wary” doesn’t mean that I think something will automatically happen, but that I think it is something that could happen, and that I and others should be cautious in how we procede.
Realistically speaking if we are to do away with the elite 1% then we will have to do away with my sisters and their families since they both make over 35k a year per family member. After all anyone who makes over 35K per individual is in the top 1% wealth braket of the world.
I’m not on board with that.
Influencing whether or not someone is prosecuted for fraud in the realestate market is not the same as controlling all political events. We still have congress members caught and prosecuted for accepting bribes. To me that says influence not control.

Hi Golden,
I do not prefer Debt Dollar Tyranny. Your logical fallacy of choice is called False Dilemma.
There is a reason logical fallacy is so dangerous – it leads to false conclusions.
You also used a Straw Man logical fallacy when you claimed I think Mises was a “stooge.”
I never said that. I suggest you go back and read what I actually said.
BTW, I DO NOT think Mises was a stooge of the Rockefellers, which is why I didn’t say that.
I do understand he had no problem moving to America and taking Rockefeller Foundation cash.
Again, you should focus on the meat of what I actually said… it isn’t what backs the currency it is WHO controls its quantity.
The idea that leaving cold, hard criminals in charge and backing money with gold is a great idea… to the Central Bankster criminals.
World Bank chief calls for new gold standard
https://articles.marketwatch.com/2010-11-07/economy/30806200_1_new-gold-world-bank-robert-zoellick
The social engineers are masters of correlation posing as causation. If I were them, I’d orchestrate a crisis that would essential trigger and correlate the collapse of the system. The average sheeple would think the correlation was actually causation as the media would sell this to no end.
The solution may well be a “hard” gold backed currency… which will then usher in the societal asset stripping deflationary bust the bankster want in order to turn their wealth into ownership of everyone else’s stuff.
I don’t care how much gold you think you have, it probably isn’t enough to last long when you have to give it up and their is no real way to earn more. Even if you do, 95% of society won’t… and I’m no narcissist, so I care about the other 95%, too.
I’m not trying to “insult your girlfriend,” as it were – really.
I’m trying to discuss data points.
How many asset stripping periods were there under a gold backed currency?
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin thought the root cause of the Revolutionary War was King George demanding a gold backed currency?
Yes, TPTB stripped that little nugget out of the history books – you aren’t supposed to know it. It was all about the price of tea… that’s the “establishment’s” narrative…
How Benjamin Franklin Made New England Prosperous
https://21stcenturycicero.wordpress.com/fraud/how-benjamin-franklin-made-new-england-prosperous/
Again…
As Thomas Edison told the New York times, “Gold and money are separate things, gold is the trick mechanism by which you can control money. That is the root of all evil.”
Go ahead and demand that the banksters install what Edison said was a “trick mechanism” and “root of all evil.”
It is such because only very few, incorrigibly criminal and corrupt people control the vast majority of the god and, under a gold standard, “they who have the most gold rules.”
And don’t think your gold makes you safe. TPTB can now kill you and your family and take your “gold money” for themselves – and they don’t need any evidence, just the “nod” from their financed and promoted “dictator puppet.”
No standard will work until citizens wake up and kick out the criminals parasites at the top. A gold standard didn’t stop the Great Depression nor the myriad of depression before that time.
Consider dropping the “fallacy” and zero in on the “logical.”

Who played architect to this criminal system? Not the 1%. They are just successful in it. Maybe the 0.01% or less. Maybe 0.001% – and many of them benefit as “family and friends” with no real power to create systems that impact us all.

I think Debt Dollar tyranny’s 100% guaranteed national bankruptcy is well north of 15-20% of our problems.
In fact, when it occurs, as it must with 100% certainty (unless the system is radically changes, but they won’t let that happen without a brutal fight), people will think it is near 100% of their problems.
Having said that, there is some “baby” in the idea that you are expressing and it should not get thrown out.
The most frustrating thing to me is that the crimes inflicted, with full knowledge and forethought, still required the *complicity* of the population to work effectively.
Granted, it was a chemically hit, miseducated, pharmacologically manipulated, propaganda saturated populace.
The social engineers know how to appeal to society’s narcissism and we eventually fall right into the same trap every single time.
So, yeah, we have to consent to being tricked and brutalized, but that brutalization will eventually be all most people can think about. We aren’t there yet, but that’s just like a bullet in mid flight just before it hits its intended target right between the eyes.

“Influence” is way too mild a word, like saying a punch is a slap, a slap is a wink. They had a windfall in their engineered boom, and they’re busy engineering now. To “engineer” is to exert some control over/to steer, because you are manufacturing.
No, there’s more than just influence going on.
Absolutely!
Influence doesn’t get 7,700 tons of heroin shipped from financial oligarch controlled Afghanistan… control gets it done.
Not just once, but year after year after year.
Influence isn’t helping Corzine or keeps criminal prosecuations from occurring at Wachovia due to $10s of billions in drug cartel plane running and money laundering.
Or JP Morgan running Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme and preventing prosecution when they bribe county officials and “competitors.”
That’s C-O-N-T-R-O-L.
Not God like control where everyone knows. But enough systemic control to achieve their main objectives like controlling the world’s drug supply and keeping their major criminal fronts from prosecution.
Oh, I forgot the two biggest accomplishments…
1. Keeping Debt Dollar Tyranny out of the public consciousness and off the media and out of the education system for 100 years running… and demonizing anyone who told the truth about it.
2. Covering up for the criminal bubble that will lead to the criminal bust – dead ahead.https://www.keepandshare.com/doc/3324744/wmdebt-graph-3-79k?tr=77
And yes, this is a conspiracy you can prove for yourself. Verify Section 2A of the Federal Reserve Act and call your local media to explain how the Federal Reserve criminally broke the Section 2A of the law and that they’ve lied about it for 25 years running (the mandate is singular, not dual!)… the biggest story in the world… the Fed criminally blows the worlds biggest bubble that will invariably lead to the world’s biggest but…
AND NOBODY WILL TOUCH IT.
But you might get your name added to a list.
That’s C-O-N-T-R-O-L.
Joe Banister, a former IRS insider, learned all about C-O-N-T-R-O-L… the Feds trumped up charges against Banister because he knew the truth about the fraud that is the IRS.

A small minority of coordinated Eurocratic elites need the active complicity/support and ignorance of a much broader network of politicians, bureaucrats, officials, civil servants, private investors, etc. These are the people who could do well for themselves and for others by adopting completely different perspectives at multiple scales, because they will eventually be screwed over just as badly as everyone else by the policies they are helping to implement.
Agree 100%.
Apparently, they believe the lie they will be taken care of by the Debt Dollar Tyrants and their underlings.
April 8, 2012 at 2:19 am #2432backwardsevolutionMemberCandace – first of all, nobody is talking about “doing away” with anyone. I’d never be part of that, and I don’t know where you got that from.
Secondly (and correct me if I’m wrong), but 35K does not put you even close to the top 1%. Add another zero. It is the 0.01% who really make the money.
I’m not against anyone making money (I’ve done so). I’m against fraud, corruption, opacity, changing rules when it suits them, offloading bad assets onto the backs of taxpayers, artificially suppressing interest rates, propping up assets, etc. Then they have the audacity to speak of the “free market”.
Most of your Congress is bought and paid for.

$35k puts on in the top 4.62% of the world’s population by wealth per…
https://www.globalrichlist.com/
It says $47,500 is the divider line between the top 1% and the bottom 99%.
The baddest actors, by far, are the system architects the engineered the likes of the “profit making psychopath” corporate structure and Debt Dollar Tyranny.
I wouldn’t be surprised if less than 100 people had control influence over these systemic structures.
April 8, 2012 at 2:48 am #2436backwardsevolutionMemberCandace – my post got lost, so I’ll try again. First of all, I would never want to “do away” with anyone. I’m not talking about that.
Secondly, anyone making 35K is not in the top 1%, not even close. Try adding another zero. The top 0.01% are the ones who make the really big money.
Candace, I am not against anyone making money (I’ve done so too). There are many, many good citizens who make lots of money, legitimately. I’m talking about fraud, corruption, opacity, changing rules when it suits them, offloading bad assets onto the backs of the taxpayers, artificially suppressing interest rates, selling assets that they knew were bad to unsuspecting investors, etc. I could go on and on.
Bernie Madoff and a few others took the fall. They were just the very tip of the iceberg.
All central banks are acting in concert (whether they’ll be successful is another story). There is definitely engineering and top-down control. We shall see how it plays out.
April 8, 2012 at 3:40 am #2440SupergravityParticipantI’ve had to reconfigure my view of the structure of reality in recent years, as I observed some phenomenon which my previous worldview could not account for.
I now run several parallel world models, some of which contain incompatibilities concerning meta-narratives.
I might include those outlandish narratives where transphasic orgone leeches inhabit human beings to feed off fear, if such notions could explain observable phenomenon better than baseline realities. Never had a use for the reptoids so far to explain anything, but the universe is expansive enough to incorporate such realities, providing the physical laws would not disallow it.
I use most of the economic content presented by outlets as TAE for refining models of socioeconomic reality based on matter/energy flows and human behavior, but I’ll also incorporate Infowars material, fact-based conspiratorial subsets, as I’ve found those criminological narratives have unique predictive function for some events. Alex Jones did predict 9/11 two months before, but not by his vast knowledge of markets.I discovered the existence of the mystery schools in 2007, which was of an institutional type I couldn’t classify. I learned of freemasonry and occult hierarchies. I had never encountered their techniques of memetic induction and was suprised that an institutional structure of secret societies, seemingly embedded in the history of civilization, could be so inconspicuous and unknown to me.
The occult ‘sciences’ contain more esoteric data than can be assimilated in a lifetime, but I didn’t think much of the philosophical meta-geometries and considered the various institutional manifestations to be a racket.
Apparently, the mystery racket is the underlying foundation of most organised religion, the ritual process of initiation greatly accelerated the progagation of specialised urban skillsets along the geometry of hierarchy and may have consolidated oligarchy as a dominant form of rule.Then in 2008, when Paulson unveiled the financial abyss in the sight of congress, I saw things happen in those weeks which I though were impossible. I have since constructed a modular worldview containing parallel conspiratorial and esoteric meta-narratives to account for organisational patterns which are not logically placeable in financial profit mechanisms alone.
Financial oligarchy does exhibit some abberant ideological components which allign with the known organisational workings of occult hierarchies and esoteric knowledge, and don’t seem to fit in anywhere else. Hence the illuminist symbolism on the dollar bill, there’s no other explanation than that parties involved with the monopoly on money are inspired by this body of knowledge. A symbol like the allseeing eye orginates by memetic induction of classic esoteric archetypes and has no other known artistic source.
If one were searching for some grand overarching conspiratorial meta-narrative originating in the growth of cities and subtly influencing or controlling the economotive development of urban civilization, the institutional manifestations of the mystery schools would be the only possible candidate to allow for the organisational framework required for a multimillenial continuity of agenda.
I don’t see another way to account for any proposed coherency of oligarchical purpose spanning the lifetime of a dozen empires, if such an agenda could exist. Some occult historians seem to reference a purposeful political narrative of considerable antiquity concering the mysteries, but they could be full of it.For most of the nefarious plotting and small-scale scheming the usual financial motivations will do, interlaced with the complex socioeconomic reality of urban civilization and its emergent behaviors, not requiring an institutional structure or conscious plan to organise self-similar behavior in many people at once. I also use a theory of clustered sociopathy to account for unusual criminal coherency in the financial superstructure and in government, asserting that a disproportionate number of executives, politicians, mediacrats and bureacrats are professional psychopaths, and that their insanity is a self-selective institutional property.
April 8, 2012 at 5:29 am #2444Reverse EngineerMemberThe problem with scaling down, or REVERSE ENGINEERING society to work again on older systems is that the population grew too much during the period of cheap energy to scale back without also scaling back the population size.
A simple example would be Container ships which move goods off boats i large quantities quite rapidly using Cranes and Forklifts and then Trucks or Rail cars that accept the containers. Imagine trying to move a similar quantity of material off of Sailboats using Longshoremen and then Wagons pulled by horses. You just could not do it, the boats would be lined up 10 nautical miles deep offshore waiting to get unloaded.
The scenario nobody planned for or considered realistically once getting ON the Industrial Paradigm is how you can get OFF of it. The tacit assumption made all through this time is that other forms of Energy would eventually be accessed to keep the system running. The meme was that we would eventually have Matter-Antimatter engines that would take us Trekking the Stars eating Food replicated from pure Energy.
I think you can scale back to older systems which worked, but not with anywhere near the current population walking the Earth. The big problem facing the world is how you reduce population in the same kind of timeframe that energy is disappearing; it can’t be accomplished through Birth Control even if that worked demographically and it doesn’t.
Our Leaders don’t want to face up to or verbalize this problem, because of course it is Political Suicide to do that. How do you inform a population that probably 90% of them have to DIE before we can scale back to systems that are sustainable here? This would not be a very popular platform on a Democratic level anyhow. It could be a popular platform amongst the 10% who get to Live of course.

Dead panned Reverse Engineer. 😉
I don’t know how many people the Earth can sustain if people lived sustainable lifestyles.
But I will agree that our current life style organization won’t support the current population based upon what is to come in the not too distant future (<100 years for sure - and that ain't long!).
April 8, 2012 at 8:44 am #2452backwardsevolutionMemberYes, I was thinking of the “American” population, not the world population. Thanks.
April 8, 2012 at 2:06 pm #2457Golden OxenParticipant@ TheTrivium4TW For a harmless metal that evolved to become money to many, you sure give it a lot more powers than I ever imagined it had. Possible reason for the Revolutionary War was quite a revelation, thanks. Due to your unique input I can now better understand why the alien reptiles allowed the Egyptians to discover it in order for the TPTB group of hybrids to maintain control of colony earth. I just threw the tiny amount I own in the waste basket and washed my hands of it for good. Thanks again for the amazing revelations, I had no idea.
April 8, 2012 at 3:04 pm #2461CandaceMemberSupergravity,
So does that mean the reptilians are the Freemasons? 😉
