whoops, didn't mean to send that without commenting obviously.
Krimel:
I really am the one who should be
apologizing since I was actually making fun of your posts on the Federal
Reserve banks, monetary policy, the gold standard and so forth.
woods:
My only beef with the Federal Reserve is it is a private bank and it makes
gov't policies that contributed to this economic crisis. It's those that think
that the Federal Reserve is Federal that is misleading. It's the same Federal
Express. That is also a private company. With banking it is a story of power.
Beyond what I'm saying here, we would need to be specific, because I'm sure
there is a lot that floats around that is false.
Monetary policy. That's too general. Don't know what you mean.
Gold standard. Here I'm just pointing out inflation and why commodity
prices
have sky-rocketed, people work more than two jobs more and more, and both
parents
have to work more and more and thus, day cares a popping up all over the place.
It's basic economics that state that if you pumped the system with more printed
money
inflation occurs. This is all basic historical economics that I'm talking
about.
Krimel:
I lump all such talk in with Bush blowing up the WFT, the Mayan prophesies, the
10th
planet, alien Gods, morphogenic fields and the
international-judeo-lesbo-Rothchild-masonic-CIA-Illuminati conspiracy to
control minds.
woods:
This stuff I really don't know about, and I haven't discussed it. I
haven't looked
into this stuff that much at all. One mind control, brainwashing type stuff
that we
all agree upon is how the media shapes the debate in the U.S. For instance,
as Ron Paul was running for president and he was still in the race and had a
big voter
base and money coming in to help him, he was in every debate until Fox news
channel
held a debate before the New Hampshire primaries. They left Ron Paul out of
the debate
on purpose. It was planned. Planned in the sense that they wouldn't let him
join the debate. As much as Ron Paul was getting more money and contributions,
thus,
a big voter base than the other candidates at the time, he still was left out.
Why? I don't
know, but it is obvious Fox news was shaping the debate. We all can come up
with examples, I'm sure, as to what is on TV and how low value this dumbing
down
streaming of information is. Sure I watch TV and sometimes I find something
interesting,
but it's mainly entertainment and shouldn't be considered the main source of
education. Yet,
meanwhile the education is failing in the U.S., so, it would seem decent
educational resources
are not being taken advantage of by some unnumbered amount of the U.S.
population.
Krimel:
I really don't think such things are worth considering beyond
their sheer entertainment value. There are not two sides to such matters
unless you count sense and nonsense.
I ran into a bit a poetry many years ago that sums up my thoughts on such
topics:
"They are pumping shit
>From beneath the house at dawn.
I refuse to get up and see
What I can damn well smell."
woods:
I think my intellectual take on why I'm opposed to zeitgeist came out with
my exchange with Carl recently. The whole idea that people can save other
people and come up with programs to further domesticate, regulate, and corral
people only furthers the problem. We shouldn't be handicapping people. What
would encourage a riddance of problems would be to inspire people and helping
people realize how much people can do on their own. Meanwhile
we're always put into some kind of panic and gov't has to step in and feel
as if they can solve all the problems and do everything for everybody. So,
people are put into positions of irrelevance. It's this trickle down
philosophy that
I don't get. Not trickle down economics, even though that's part of it, but
it's
this trickle down philosophy and another way to put it, this exterior
philosophy
that all answers are out there, found in somebody else doing it for you, and
thus,
the leading to a dumb downed, forgetfulness public or person in which their
own value, inside, is pushed to the side as something inferior. That's what
goes
along with this trickle down philosophy. This kind of philosophy keeps
over-laying
static patterns, over and over again, suffocating a sovereign moral mind.
