It isn't the rich that are fighting the wars they create however.... it is mostly the poor.. but they are not being FORCED to do so at this time. (here in the US at least) The rich simply have the means of making what they desire seem desirable to the poor so that they will do their dirty work for them. They dangle an illusive carrot of hope in front of them and a majority of the poor engage in pursuing it at all cost. Let us call this carrot of hope CREDIT for now. It permits the poor to live in the illusion of a middle class reality. Without it... the divide between the haves and have nots would be so great a divide that there would have long ago been a revolution to bridge it and it has been when this has become apparent in the past that all revolutions were enacted. With it... this so called middle class have no choice but to support the WILLS of the rich or they will be reduced to living the reality of the poor once more. These middle class must then serve this beast... feed it as it desires to be fed (tax revenues and votes/support) and at the same time be vigilant that the poor do not upset the illusion of their middle class comfort zone by usurping what the rich have worked diligently to portray as dwindling resources.This creates what I term Lack consciousness...that there is not enough to go around. It is this fear that maintains the divisions that we are witness to and ensures the players remain in their proper places. If the poor were to truly be served properly through social services... the illusory middle class would be made to realize the extent of their manipulation by the rich and they would turn on them. These miniscule services are only there to perpetuate the illustion that there is a middle class because it serves as a contrast to the legitimately poor. The poor are always at the ready to bite the hand that feeds it crumbs. Unfortunately their external resources are as limited as are the middle classes in reality and when the middle class so much as show evidence of potentially biting that hand... the rich bring to their thoughts how fragile the illusion is in which they are living.
The American dream is the dream of the rich being marketed to the poor. Even the poor must accept their responsibility in keeping the drama in motion. When the poor are able to rise up and effect changes... you know these changes are for the good of the common man. When the rich manipulate change with their overabundant resources (siphoned from the collective poor and illusory middle class) that change will be of benefit to their own selfish interests. The rich in fact wage war with their own self serving interests AS PROVOCATION. Have you ever tried to take something away from someone that they have grown accustomed to and quite fond of? It isn't a pretty picture. But... the rich are no different... they will not easily relinquish the rush... the ability to control their environment in ways that they desire. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and with it comes IMPUNITY. It is this desire for IMPUNITY that is in fact the provocation behind their actions. What pray tell is a greater achievement than impunity from all wrong doing? Is it not the reward of GOD itself? To be able to sit in judgment but never be judged yourself... is that not the ultimate rush.... the ultimate provocation? The rich are in fact thinking... they are simply thinking of themselves as God. (don't get me wrong... I am not speaking of ALL rich... ALL middle class... and ALL poor... just those that the shoe fits) My reference to the battle between the red people and the white people can only be appreciated after you see the video I was referring to. Otherwise... it does sound a bit OUT THERE... lol mind you.. the episode was from a Sci-Fi classic... The Outer Limits.. which... like The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery... always ended with a thought provoking moral to the story to stimulate the viewer to step outside of the box so to speak in order to fully grasp the message. Almost like using parable to express a deeper... underlying truth. Of course... these are personal perceptions that I have accumulated during my present sojourn via collective personal life experiences. I express them as a way to share with others my own understandings and interpretations of the dramas which have and continue to play out in this experience of life. It is not necessary that anyone adopt my perceptions... only be willing to share their own in civil discourse so that I can better understand where they are coming from so to speak. I embrace diversity as a divine endowment that was meant to be a gift and not a curse. Of course my thought processes are way out there at times and it is no coincidence that I am called Cosmic One because of that verity. I'm only an air head to a limited degree in other words and if I must... I can and do come down to earth and present a more grounded perspective if necessary. It is just that I much more enjoy the Universal perspective I have adopted to the duality mindset that is so prevalent here on this 3D rock.

And as far as the Four Horsemen, they're the evils that accompany oppression and war - and it helps to consider oppression of one's own countrymen as a war waged against them by the rich and powerful. I mean, Karl Marx has received a lot of condemnation for his statements on "class war". He was however, absolutely correct - it's the way the rich behave without thinking. They wage class war on the poor without provocation. And the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse follow in their path, sure as night follows day follows night. -- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity http://www.cosmicrose.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
