technology and weapons are a load of bollocks..

they don't stand for shit, you can't build a civilisation on them or a culture.

at some point a philosophical realisation has to happen that you can't endlessly view the fucking world through a crosshair..

Forcing peace and solving differences with guns and force just doesn't work at the most basic level.

to reply to an earlier comment about rome falling to visigoths and vandals that is actually a total misnomer, the roman empire never fell..

don't take these four pictures as evidence of anything, educate yourself..

like that famous movie quote "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making the world believe he didn't exist"

Britain wasn't an empire it was rome,, america isn't an empire it is rome. and when i say rome i don't mean the place.. None of the money and power stayed in Britain and it wont in america, you are being temporarily used whilst american exceptionalism exists (like "british exceptionalism used to exist) and as soon as they have another carcass to hijack it will finally depart and leave a wasteland behind, and it's well under way isn't it..

These colonialist fascist arms of the modern roman empire are directed by the same old families.. any one who can't see that is a danger to common sense.

The usa is so young and fragile and run by either dimwits or psychopaths it could tear itself to pieces over night at the pull of a cord..

and the average americans understanding of the rest of the world is frankly pathetic,, no wonder people prefer to point guns around than use their brains..

follow the paper, the power and the names and you will find like a very old saying "all roads lead to rome"..

And you will find that JFK, john lennon, martin luther etc etc all stood to threaten these people more than any other.. This isn't about money or religion by the way it is all simply about control which is worth everything.

and before you think i'm looking down on you britain is arguably as bad and europe is falling like the tower of babylon because of unelected autocrats in the european government, a complete fascist dictatorship.. The west is fucked..

The human condition is truly a phenomenon.

And, yes, there are many forces trying to control the masses.

But, this is all relative, and the suffering that 99.999999% of the humans experience on a regular basis has it's roots in ignorance of who and what we really "are."

This is because, as a rule, a human's attention is focused "outward" into the outside world.

This occurs, because of a false belief/assumption that once you get what you desire in the "outside world" you will feel happiness inside.

A human being has desires that he tries to achieve in order to feel happy/satisfied/successful. Whatever we call it, fundamentally, the end-result that we all want is happiness.

And it doesn't matter if this desire is to eat three Big Tasty's after smoking a fat joint of your own herb, or to rule/control the world population...the end-result that everyone wants is a feeling of happiness.

Anyone can observe this in their own experience by simply focusing on why you do what you do every day! Even at the most basic level of simple physical/social survival, the end-result that one feels is happiness of having survived another day. :biggrin:

Or, on the level of having global control over the masses of "sheeple" you still, as an end-result will fundamentally feel happiness from "successfully" having reached this level on the global power "ladder."

What I'm trying to point at is the structure of the human condition, which can be summarized by an image of a rat inside a "cage wheel" running after some cheese that it never gets and dies on that wheel running after that f*cking cheese.

Never getting the cheese is equivalent to the unhappiness we experience while running toward happiness or running away from pain that we believe we will experience in the future, when we are successful at either getting what we want or avoiding what we don't want.

Not, a pretty picture is it? :laughing:

But, this is a picture of every one of our lives, from the wealthiest to the poorest, from the masters to the servants.

It is a very, very, very rare exception where a human being is not running toward something that he believes will bring him pleasure/happiness (cheese) in the future and away from experiences that he believes will bring him pain (also cheese, just a different kind).

Both of these actions, running toward and running away, keep the wheel in the cage turning until the rat stops running because of physical death.

No one is immuned from this. Money doesn't help. Power doesn't help. Nothing helps when you are confused about who and what you are, and when you continue to live and take action based on false beliefs and assumptions.

...taking this into account, the main question is "can we get out of this structure, or are we all doomed to running like rats in "cage wheels" till death???"

Why the fuck would Joe want to work when he can sit home and get his obama bucks and live high on the hog and have all the things you just mentioned...


Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....

Funny you say that and your not to far from the truth what a better way to control you by having you in welfare “The current welfare system provides such a high level of benefits that it acts as a disincentive for work,” Tanner and Hughes write in their new paper. “Welfare currently pays more than a minimum-wage job in 35 states, even after accounting for the Earned Income Tax Credit,” which offers extra subsidies to low-income workers who take work. “In 13 states [welfare] pays more than $15 per hour.”

Losing ground in the war on poverty

The welfare system, at its best, is a system that gives people a way to live when they can’t find work for themselves, when they’re down on their luck. At its worst, the welfare system rewards people for not working, and incentivizes people to develop habits that make it harder for them to find work in the future, miring them in permanent poverty.

ah so i am not the only one freaked out….. the doomsday preppers don't look so goofy now do they? i wonder how much of the US's population is actually paying attention to this shit like we all are…

i would be surprised if 10% of the population was alarmed.

i have said it once and ill say it again, C-SPAN should be the only thing aired on TV in America… if that were the case, shit would be a LOT smoother for the US and world alike…

…it will come down to survival of the fittest one day in the not so distant future…

Considering the amount of guns/rifles the American people own, on one side, and the way the police/armed forces are being manipulated to take the side of the federal government/state governments more and more on a daily basis, on the other side - in my opinion, shit is going to really hit the fan...

...when the 100 trillion USD federal/state government DEBT BUBBLES blows up.

...and the way the whole government financial situation is currently structure, the question is not IF, but WHEN it blows up!

My forecast is by the end of 2015 the Tsunami is gonna hit...and then...

...what we saw in Syria might look like a walk in the park in comparison :tiphat:
