WOW!!!!
Thank you for shinning the light.
I thought that I was aware. (Not enough)“…. in 1988, just as we were beginning to get our hands on the levers of power, ….”
etc.
So eloquently said,We dropped the ball.
Therefore, I cross my fingers and hope …
Finally, the task ahead for our generation is to learn how to downsize and disown before we prepare to die, with grace, at a time of our choosing, and in a way that inspires and frees the next generations to chart a prosperous way down.
I hope that this gets read by all the elites.
One day, the children will get the levers of power. Maybe those children won’t drop the ball like we did and the peon will not take retributions on those who could and didn’t.War has already begun so that the elites and military can continue with their “ways”

A modern society does not survive if it does not have oil or electricity.
The USA military knowns that. Look at what it is doing.Additionally, “one of the sources of generation that was working perfectly,” was also sabotaged, he added, accusing domestic “infiltrators of attacking the electric company from the inside.”
Authorities are now trying to restore the systems “manually,” while struggling to “diagnose why the computerized” systems failed on such a massive scale.With the web, everone now know how to attack the USA and bring it to a collapse.

This story is a baby example of what the central bankers are doing.
What they are doing is way more complicated.
What will be the final result is beyond our ability to guess.
However, they certainly are not planning to be the losers.@kultsommer
I don’t really know, `I’m a lowly peon.
I don’t think that the elites will let the system crash.
They lent all the money. They collected their loans from the central bankers, (QE) rinse and repeat.
Now, we guess and speculate on what they will do to get out of trouble.
I am not in trouble. I’m a lowly peon.
I couldn’t start wars and steal tons of gold to keep living in la-la-land.On this blog, we try to understand what happened, what they are doing, and what will be the intended consequences and the un-intended consequences.
Our worldly share past experience help us with our answers.
It doe not mean that our combined knowledge is sufficient to arrive at the right answers.
Even if we do arrive at all the right answers, we do not have the influence or the wealth to change what is happening or what will happen.
I’ll give you an example of what could happen with debt.
Economic recovery
It is a slow day in the small Minnesota town of Marshall , and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A rich tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
…… etc.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves town.
……
No one produced anything. No one earned anything… However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.And that story has been read by the all the central bankers and it is how they plan on getting rid of all the debts.

You are right.
However, like pancreatic cancer, the patient will die.Also, money talks louder than anti-sematic accusations.
The elites have been running the social/economic systems that we have and will not put up with opposition to their power/wealth positions that would diminish their positions.
The freshman members will be taught how to play the game or they will be neutralized.
I’m sure that there are elites, all over the world, that are regretting allowing women to vote. Also, now the elites are also regretting that they allowed women to run for office and get elected.
Those new young elected women are saying all kinds of “unregulated” opinions.
I say, “keep it up. Let the discussions begin. Let the light shine.”

We are just a bag of bacteria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiota
Humans are colonized by many microorganisms; the traditional estimate is that the average human body is inhabited by ten times as many non-human cells as human cells, but more recent estimates have lowered that ratio to 3:1 or even to approximately the same number.
…. the human microbiome includes around 100 trillion bacterial cells and that an adult human typically has around 10 trillion human cellshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/28/pests-homes-spider-man-bug-biolgist-5000-species

• Venezuela Set For More False Flags (Cunningham)
the Lima Group summit – 12 Latin American states along with the US and Canada – was meant to capitalize on the false-flag incident over aid, as well as other deadly clashes at the weekend that resulted in dozens of casualties.
Lima Group, including US allies Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, issued a statement after the summit Monday rejecting any military action. They are still functioning as lackeys by calling for a “peaceful transition to democracy” and are in favor of the dubious US-anointed opposition figure Guaido, recognizing him as the “interim president” of Venezuela, in accordance with Washington’s desires.Is this a helper?
Finian Cunningham (born 1963) has written extensively on international affairs, with articles published in several languages. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he is a Master’s graduate in Agricultural Chemistry and worked as a scientific editor for the Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge, England, before pursuing a career in newspaper journalism. For over 20 years he worked as an editor and writer in major news media organizations, including The Mirror, Irish Times and Independent. Now a freelance journalist based in East Africa, his columns appear on RT, Sputnik, Strategic Culture Foundation and Press TV.I am surprised that no one else is saying it, writing it, shouting it at each and every corner: It is not Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Iran that are in dire and crucial need of ‘regime change’. It is the United States of America, it is the entire European Union; in fact, the entire West.

Vltchek presently resides in East Asia and the Middle East, and continues to work around the world. He can be reached through his website and his Twitter.In the past, the US tried to overthrow Chavez, it attempted to starve Venezuela, to make its medical system collapse, then to assassinate Maduro. It produced a ‘deficit’ of food, even toilet paper. It ordered its lapdogs in Latin America to antagonize the Bolivarian revolution.
Now, in the latest development, the regime in Washington has simply hand-picked its favorite traitor inside the socialist republic of Venezuela – a treasonous cadre named Juan Guaido, (who served, briefly, as President of the National Assembly of Venezuela), “recognizing him” as the“interim President of the country”.

In 2018, Maduro was re-elected President. A section of the opposition boycotted the election, a tactic tried against Chavez. The boycott failed: 9,389,056 people voted; sixteen parties participated and six candidates stood for the presidency. Maduro won 6,248,864 votes, or 67.84 per cent.
On election day, I spoke to one of the 150 foreign election observers. “It was entirely fair,” he said. “There was no fraud; none of the lurid media claims stood up. Zero. Amazing really.”Researchers at the University of the West of England studied the BBC’s reporting of Venezuela over a ten-year period. They looked at 304 reports and found that only three of these referred to any of the positive policies of the government. For the BBC, Venezuela’s democratic record, human rights legislation, food programmes, healthcare initiatives and poverty reduction did not happen. The greatest literacy programme in human history did not happen, just as the millions who march in support of Maduro and in memory of Chavez, do not exist.
Should the CIA stooge Guaido and his white supremacists grab power, it will be the 68th overthrow of a sovereign government by the United States, most of them democracies. A fire sale of Venezuela’s utilities and mineral wealth will surely follow, along with the theft of the country’s oil, as outlined by John Bolton.
It is too difficult to report the collapse of oil prices since 2014 as largely the result of criminal machinations by Wall Street. It is too difficult to report the blocking of Venezuela’s access to the US-dominated international financial system as sabotage. It is too difficult to report Washington’s “sanctions” against Venezuela, which have caused the loss of at least $6billion in Venezuela’s revenue since 2017, including $2billion worth of imported medicines, as illegal, or the Bank of England’s refusal to return Venezuela’s gold reserves as an act of piracy.

Western Media Fall in Lockstep for Cheap Trump/Rubio Venezuela Aid PR Stunt
(2) Despite dozens of media outlets giving the impression (and sometimes explicitly saying) that the Venezuelan government shut down an otherwise functioning pathway into the country, the bridge in question hasn’t been open for years.
According to La Opinion (2/5/16), after its initial construction in 2015, the bridge has never been open to traffic. How can Maduro, as the BBC suggested, “reopen” a bridge that was never open?The first thing that jumps out is Berkshire’s massive cash pile, which was at $112 billion on Dec 31 mostly in the form of T-Bills – marking the sixth straight quarter above $100 billion – showing how difficult it has been for Buffett to put money to work as fast as Berkshire accumulates it, and while Buffett laments the lack of investment opportunities he vows he will never risk getting caught short of cash.

Halper received a DoD contract from the Obama administration for $411,575 – made in two payments, and had a start date of September 26, 2016 – three days after a September 23 Yahoo! News article by Michael Isikoff about Trump aide Carter Page, which used information fed to Isikoff by “pissgate” dossier creator Christopher Steele.

He remained director for over 37 years until his death in 1972 at the age of 77
Later in life and after his death, Hoover became a controversial figure as evidence of his secretive abuses of power began to surface. He was found to have exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI,[2] and to have used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders,[3] and to collect evidence using illegal methods.[4] Hoover consequently amassed a great deal of power and was in a position to intimidate and threaten others, even sitting presidents of the United States.
