try try agian| | I don't feel like my last entry really hit the spot.
I've been thinking a lot about the crash, what's going to happen, what it all means. My heart is heavy with the knowledge of what is soon to come. I still feel very bottled up because I only have a handful of people to actually talk to about this subject.
My family and parents, blissfully unaware of the scope of this so-called 'recession', still pester me about my economic plans, career, school, and so forth. I think they pity me because while I am highly intelligent and have great potential for success, they feel as though I'm slipping through the cracks. All they see is my external lifestyle (which is not completely healthy, I've made some poor lifestyle choices such as cigarettes); my failure in school; I make pizza for a meager living; I've gotten myself entangled in the legal system thanks to evil laws against cannabis; my credit rating is ruined, thanks to student loans which I will never repay; I'm not married, yet my girlfriend now lives with me. Economically, my life is in a tailspin, especially from the traditional Christian American perspective where you go to college, get a job, get a mortgage, spawn, then retire, die, and go to heaven.
(as a side note, mortgage is an interesting word: mort i believe means 'death' and a google search tells me that gage means 'pledge' ... death-pledge? what an unpleasant sounding contract!)
But, in light of the fact that the actual -economy- is in a tailspin, I don't feel so bad. On top of that, I don't much care for the way our culture measures success, and I don't want to be successful in that way.
I believe that the crash is going to be mostly fatal for America, and like everyone else, my first thoughts go out to my friends and family, especially my parents, who I want to make peace with before I have to leave, if I decide to do so, or before something unforseen happens. They are a factor in my decision making process for better or worse. Regardless of the crash, there are problems between us at the moment.
I feel that there is an uncrossable gulf between my parents and myself, spiritually. These are my grievances: My parents are traditional baptist Christians, and you might go so far as to label them fundamentalists; bible literalists. If you're into labeling. The basic premise of this ideology, as most Americans are intimately aware, is that humans are born into the world inheriting a fundamental human flaw, sin, disobedience to Jahweh. As mere imperfect mortal beings, we can do nothing of our own accord to extricate ourselves from our sinful nature. One single sin is all it takes to be cast into eternal hellfire. In order that all of humanity would not be lost, it was necessary for a sinless being to be punished on our behalf, by torture and death. Only those who respect this blood contract are able to be in the presence of Jahweh after their time on earth is finished. Those who deny the contract are damned to eternal torture.
I don't want to offend any of my two readers, or my parents if they ever read this. What it boils down to is that you have to respect the sanctity and eternal truth of the Bible, which I can't do. I personally see little to no difference between Christianity and any other cult. Cults brainwash their members in order to exploit them. Religious people merge their identity with their belief system in such a powerful way that any attack on christianity is an attack on them personally! It's a defense mechanism, part of brainwashing! Study it!
Here is the edge of the uncrossable gulf: from my perspective, I am ultimately on their team. I am not an atheist, I'm not out to do evil. Far from it! But from their perspective, I'm not saved, I'm a lost sheep! But who would want to be a part of a herd? Don't you know that shepherds raise sheep to EAT them?
The gulf exists because neither of us can relate to the other's perspective. I have rejected an entire childhood of religious instruction and indoctrination; my parents can't learn from my point of view because of their beliefs about belief and the rigidity of the religion that they follow. I have a hard time learning from their point of view because of how cultish and twisted I find the whole religion to be. There is a blockage of ideas which is highly suffocating. From my perspective, the dilemma ultimately boils down to the fact that my mind is free and theirs are being held hostage. I am free to question my beliefs about anything on a whim, but they are not free to do so; christianity robs one of power over oneself. It's so suffocating that I can't talk to them because I don't know how. It's like I can hear them but they can't hear me!
I am not religious whatsoever but I know that God is love, and that spirit moves through all things. Other than that, the universe is a playground for God to play in and to learn about God-ness. By God I refer to the One Infinite Creator - this is my favorite term for God. I feel that on a fundamental level, we are all hallucinations, ideas, inside of God's mind.

Back to the topic of the crash - America is about to be repo'd. The -real- truth, of course, is that no one owns anything on the earth, not a single square nanometer of the earth belongs to any man. As Alan Watts put it, we are to the earth as the the apple is to the tree - the tree apples, and the earth peoples. But alas, the mass hallucination of money and materialism continues to grip the human psyche.
The literal material cause of this crash is multi-multi-faceted. The root issue is money, which has no sense of morality, only profit (and money itself is only a symptom of a deeper psychological problem in human culture). Money allows corporations to use cheap slave labor in foreign countries to produce our goods for us which are then cleanly imported on ships, trucked into our towns, and placed on shelves for us to purchase. I think I read that manufactured goods make up only 13% of our GDP in america. Many people are now aware of this. It's like the episode of the Twilight Zone where there's this box with a button, and if you push it you get a million dollars, but someone that you don't know dies.
On top of this, our fiat currency is created out of thin air in massive quantities by the evil Federal Reserve, which Andrew Jackson was not around to kill for us in 1913. The video to watch on this subject is called "Money as Debt", available on google video.
In fact, the original great depression was caused by a miniature credit bubble burst. This is their tactic - they expand the money supply on false pretenses, by creating it out of thin air and loaning it out, then they call in large numbers of loans at the same time, which people can't repay. It's like a domino effect, only it's exponential... as if one domino knocked over two dominoes, and those knocked down two more dominoes, and so forth until the money supply shrinks back to its original (natural?) size.
This time around, it will be many many times worse. At least back then, the value of money was coupled to a tangible asset (gold). Not so now. And back then, we still had a manufacturing base and we still had native oil to go around. Now we import 2/3's of our oil and import billions of dollars worth of goods every year (on credit). When we default, we will have that much less oil to go around - and as far as jobs are concerned ... there's little for us to do. Our service economy will not stand when no one has money or credit to buy frivolous things.
I believe that the crash will lead to the adoption of the amero, the dissolution of the USA and the formation of the north american union. Some other nasty stuff, like martial law, will come right along with it. The ultimate goal is the consolidation of power into a world government. For the christians among us, this is the antichrist.
(side note: I'm not sure how I feel about biblical prohecy, but many of us know that secret societies use the bible as an encoded way to pass occult truths down through their highest ranks by word of mouth. I feel that revelation is more of a script than a prophecy.)

After much deliberation and weighing of options, I know that resistance is futile. The machine is too big and strong for a single person, or even a million, to make much difference by force. The best weapon against them is freedom of information, and the internet is our vessel for that weapon. On this front, we have already won, as more and more people are waking up from their brainwashed coma. 100th monkey.
Still, the momentum of this machine will not be stopped, the number of dissidents will probably not rise to levels that will overwhelm its military efforts. I believe that the best chance for the enlightened will be to go underground and wait for things to simmer down. I think of the Matrix vs. Zion... the matrix is not about AI, it is about the spirit; and this situation is not just about authoritarianism vs. freedom, it's about good vs. evil.
For now, I wait, watch, and get ready. I am satisfied with this entry, so I will go to bed now. Goodnight.
