    With so many things going on in the world from wars and threats of nuclear war to global warming, bird flu, diminishing resources and economic uncertainty, which option best describes your take on all this?

    The country (and world) is in the hands of an Elite cabal that seeks to eviscerate civil liberties and national sovereignty in favor of a one world totalitarian governmernt that will make Nazi Germany look like a picnic in comparison. Everything that is happening, and I repeat EVERYTHING, is by design. Spectacular 9/11-style terrorism is not the product of Arabs with boxcutters, but the product of central bankers working in tandem with rouge factions of the government and world intelligence agencies they control. It's all about manipulating the minds of the masses with fear to get them to accept what's to come. Bush cannot run a country, much less tie his shoes, and I believe it's silly to think he's the one running the show when he's merely taking orders from on high. Like all presidents, he is a puppet working for the true masters who control the world economy. Certainly not the people.

    America is being used to destroy America from within. The people who control America could not care less about the future of this country or its people. Nor do they care about the rest of the world. They seek to bring about the chaos needed to bring about the New World Order, and epidemics, terrorism and economic instability play right into this.

    It's important for people to know the score. They need to know what the agenda is. This country was hijacked long ago, and while this country is being destroyed from within, it's also being used in an imperialistic manner favorable to the New World Order agenda of world domination. The people running the show have no allegience to anyone or anything but their own agenda and that of their brethren. We are looked upon as cattle to them.

    Within the next five years we could be living in a global Nazi nightmare. I know the agenda, and that agenda is total enslavement. People need to wake and and take action, or suffer the consequences which are indeed inevitable if nothing is done. Under the New World Order, you will either be controlled, incarcerated or killed. This is a grim reality we all need to wake up and face unless we decide to set aside phony partisan politics (which are used to control) and look at the REAL issues facing us all.

    Where do you get this shit? I do not ask to discredit your words as I do find many of your theories to be quite interesting to say the least.

    I think two words accurately describe the situation of the world at present: Fucked up.

    I get this shit from the massive amounts of reading and research I do. What I have been talking about for the past three years is now happening before our eyes, yet most people are either too distracted or dumbed-down to realize it, much less give it any thought. In this work and entertainment-driven world we are living in, people cannot be bothered with REAL issues. Illusion is far easier for people to swallow.

    Rat, I love your rap these daze.

    There is truth to what you say, but if you think ANY group of humans could successfully orchestrate all this, you've given them way too much credit.

    Admittedly there has been an ongoing conspiracy to manipulate world events by the CIA since 1960 or so (when Kennedy came to power - and was assassinated). There has always been a backroom "poker game" going on where plots are hatched and money changes hands.

    The conspirators have been the same people, including most notably George Bush Sr. who oversaw a lot of dirty deeds in his day, and is probably quite involved behind the scenes today.

    And now more than ever I'm open to believing your rap about the jews, but it's more like the Israeli/US jews now, than old monied European jews who are pushing the agenda, esp. against Iran at this moment (I know this for a fact).

    But in reality, nobody can foresee the future. Technology is leading the way towards a much more controlled, spied upon society. It seems inevitable since if they can do it, they will do it. All technology has an upside and a downside.

    Likewise a "New World Order" would have its upside and its downside. Intuitively and instinctively I know that humanity NEEDS to unite, possibly at whatever cost it takes. That's because we ALL face enormous global problems that can't be solved at the national level. The movement in Europe to remove borders was a big step in the right direction, but it's been set back since 9/11.

    That may be because the powers behind the US gov't don't want a European socialist model for the New World Order, but an American capitalist one.

    Look at China as an example of a country that tried to create a new order. Mao had a vision, and succeeded in uniting China under one government, ending the feudal & colonial system. As terrible as it might seem inretrospect, the fruits of unity are now becoming more apparent.

    That is what one would HOPE would happen in the long run under a "new world order". A lotta shit would hit the fan, and cleaning things up afterwards would take a long time. But perhaps in the long run the advantages of having one world gov't won't be as bad as it seems today. That is the optimistic point of view.

    However I see a greater threat to humanity coming from our abuse of the planet. As CO2 levels continue to rise, our air becomes more poisonous. As temperatures rise, glaciers melt, seas rise, methane releases increase, we are facing a catastrophe of global proportions, inconceivable just a few decades ago.

    Nothing we can do will prevent this at this point. The best we can do is delay it by taking immediate extreme measures - ones that would hurt the US & the world economically, but perhaps are a last chance to save civilization.

    It seems that we have reached our limits as creatures on this planet, and time for a massive die-off has been reached. This is an automatic biological function in most species, ensuring the survival of a few by removing the overpopulation.

    What form this die-off will take will be either in our hands or nature's. We'll either have WWIII or nature will respond by accelerating the warming and release of poison gasses that will do us in. In the worst case scenario, the only human survivors will be those who can filter their air and water perfectly 24/7 for the rest of their existence on this planet.

    What really saddens me is despite all the scientists warnings about this over the past 4 decades (most of my lifetime), the US gov't has yet to even acknowledge the deadly threat this poses to our species, much less take action against it.

    At least with a "new world order", there could be a possibility of taking concerted action, esp. when the order itself is facing extinction. But I fear it will be too little, too late to save us.

    And of course those behind the "new world order" have their faith in Jesus or Jehovah that they will be saved no matter what becomes of our dear Earth. So why bother trying to fix anything. They've created hell on earth, and they expect us to accept it.

    So Rat, do you really think there's something WE can do about all this?

    The death throes of the Industrial Age within the next couple decades (maybe sooner) will mean death to a large portion of the global population. No nation is immune.


    Enjoy the internet, cheap and easily accessable food, cheap gas, easy access to medical attention, instant global communication, commercial airlines, and relativly low unemployement while you can...

    what we're about to experience is something the world has never gone through before.

    The Crash of all crashes.

    3rd World living standards worldwide.

    It's about to get ugly and it's too late to turn back.

    You live in a negative world full of conspiracies and evil and you bide by your knowledge and beliefs. Yet you wonder why the world is as it is today simply because no one really gives a shit or no large group of people in any country for that matter is going to risk their lives and current living situation to try and change the inevitable. You sit and feel as if you are the only one who realizes how fucked up the world is and how deep its lies go but you are going to ask us and the rest of the world to go up against an idea or the elite class. I laugh at what you have to say because what you dont understand is that the world knows how bad it really is but the only thing keeping them positive is the will to survive and not be like you, constantly focusing on the negative and the things that will never change. Yes you are probably right and I will give you that but your just a messenger.

    i'd say two things;
    one is that collectively we're doing a lot of stupid things
    the other is that we're not where i'd like to be

    if people think where i'd like to be is not where the'd like to be
    well ok, i can understand that,
    although i can't help but also suspect
    some of that comes from not understanding some things,
    possibly even contributed to by familiar deliberate misrepresentations

    so ok, may everybody doesn't want ecotopia with little trains instead of cars
    and so on,
    but do we HAVE to be THAT stupid about the rest of it?
    under ANY idiology?
    in ANY culture?

    what's really going on here?
    is the world of human society really the defacto consensus it pretends to be?
    or is there something else going on here entirely?

    we have forces exploiting tendencies
    maybe that's to be expected
    to a degree
    it doesn't sound, look, or feel exactly healthy.

    i hear people swearing up and down that this unhealthyness is a sustainable norm.
    how can that possibly be?

    can it? really?
    or are we not, as seems far more probable, that we are deluding ourseles
    to immagen that it can or is?

    is 200 or even 500 years long enough to call anything sustainable?

    i think western europe was on the right track (and to a greater degree then the u.s. still is) before it started privatising it's railroads (and all that doing so symbolizes and is symptomatic of).

    we may be always approaching some sort of tipping point. maybe.
    what my gut tells me is that we are so far continueing to paint ourselves
    into an ever less sustainable corner
    through sheer thoughtless shortsightedness
    and on top of that, romantacizing and promoting doing so.

    but my ears also tell me, there are people, in signifigant numbers,
    who are neither blind, nor asleep, nor at all satisfied with this state of events.

    we have the irresistable force of thoughtlessness and the exploitation of thoughtlessness,
    meeting the immovable object of natural reality beyond the scope of what begins and end within human society.

    what we are calling global warming is the tip of the iceburg of this collission.
    collosal, titatanic, though perhaps not dramatic inough outwardly in real time
    for most people to really grasp the scale of it.

    the more trying to force anything to stay the same, the more the very act of doing so,
    forces conditions to accumulate that force chainge to occur.

    i don't know if it takes rocket science to observe this.
    i've been observing it all my life.
    people have been denying it all my life.

    we have so many things now people have said and many keep saying
    could never happen, will never happen, and people are saying oh we never said
    this or that can't happen, and then out the other side of their mouth
    still saying that it can't or won't.

    we have a culture of deep denial,
    that many people who still buy into parts of it,
    are perhapse more and more no longer buying into
    as many parts of it as they once did.

    =^^=

    I'm not some endtimer..

    But this seems to be the beginning of the end...

    I'm not going off religious signs... I just think it's different to the 60's and the 80's where you felt things were being done to stop us for wiping each other out..

    This isn't a cold war anymore..
