“We should all be terrified of what this could lead to. I know I am.”
I would be horrendously terrified if it wasn’t for Catherine and all those listening and working with her.I have been following Catherine’s work for about 6 years now and i still swing like a pendulum into fear now and then. I accept this and don’t allow myself to dwell there long. What I notice now that the hammer is starting to come down on us is there is a calmness I never expected to have. No everything is not in perfect order for me. I always have more to do, but there are those around me that understand what’s going on and are doing things to better our world. I hope you have this too.
Hi
lee vardi,
Like your approach conceptually or theoretically…
‘All it takes is determined people led by someone who can mobilize the paradigm shift into action’
A huge problem with what you have outlined is thus…LED BY SOMEONE…if the population as a whole reflected your sentiment you would not NEED, WANT, REQUIRE anything remotely nearing LED, the SHIFT would have happened…Until the HUMAN species as a whole takes the cognitive ‘next leap’ in abstract thought-problem solving-critical thinking-supra awareness…The minority will be suffered by the majority in this manipulated game/ system. Catherine actually exhibit’s Rand’s rational selfishness…When she was at HUD and saw the criminal-illegal-immoral-unethical-clogged shadowed bureaucratic system, she attempted to do something, in the process enriching herself and those around-loyal to her. She used her creative and intelligent senses to develop process to undermine and revolutionize how common folk understand what is happening and do something about what it is that is happening world wide…
Hi
Karin Maya,
It is easier said then done but…”Fear is the Mind Killer…do not fear” Dune
If you have not already…take the appropriate steps to becoming very familiar with weapons use, have a reliable hand-gun, and be not be afraid or convinced that your not responsible for your and your neighbors defense, life, liberty and pursuit of criminals. 🙂
P.S. Interesting to see what the ultimate outcome of President Chavez’s visions hold…

The Bush Fired Ballad..(sung to the tune of the beverly hillbillies)
The Anti-Terror Laws are here to serve us well
To wipeout the insurgencies
To stem the huge groundswell
of public opinion thats bound to overspill
And washout all the parasites up there on Capitol Hill
Well Georgie rang up Tony,Tony rang up John
They came to the conclusion that ole Saddam had bomb
We don’t have any proof of it, but hey who gives a f***
We’ll tell the average sucker that he built it in a truck
Bush promoted Colin to put some spin on it
A man who preferred ‘Colon’,oh man that kinda fits
He took it to the world stage to make it all look good
Murdoch gave him prime time slots and the keys to Hollywood
So meanwhile back in Baghdad the party it began
They’re comin to free Iraq with an almighty plan
They call it ‘Shock n Awe’old friend, it’s bound to be a hit
We never thought they’d try so hard to turn our lives to s**t
Well now we got no plumbing or electricity
The USA is here for good, thank Allah that we’re free
BUT those infidels have Iris Scans, they’ve filed their DNA
We might be screwed, but those poor fools are yet to have their day
So the oil is really flowing, the Heroin’s more pure
We all wait on the stockmarket to provide us with a cure
To the ailment that we all possess, so common to our breed
The intoxicating ecstacy of true unbridled greed
So George is gonna hang his hat, he’s done the best he could
Its now up to some wannabe to walk us through the woods
The Bush was workin in God’s name to save our liberties
But all the while ole Freddie Mac gave Fannie a disease
The Emperor’s new clothes were made to do the will of God
So I’m votin for McCain,again,I’m givin him the nod
It’s not because he’s vowed to get this monkey off our back
The things that stand out most for me is Sarah Palin’s rack
The anti-Terror laws are surely here to stay
Just in case our citizens decide to run away
You never know how bad things are until it’s time to pay
The ferrymen have left the boat
The anchor’s cut-away
We’re all prayin’for good karma, now we got Barack Obama
We’ll smoke his hope like dope, he is our brand new Dalai Lama
The change we needed now so we can all go back to sleep
Wakin’up in four years time in crap thats twice as deep
Yeah, wakin’up in four years time with shackles on our feet
So lets talk straight, its from our sweat that keeps these fleas in feed
Our lives of debt persuing what we’re told to think we need
Lets ditch these wanks, form our own banks, tell Ayn Rand where to go
And if Atlas shrugs, we’ll pull the plug that made the bastard grow.
Yeah, till paint starts peeling from them boats we’ve seen in Monaco.

Yeah, wakin’up in four years time with shackles on our feet

Our lives of debt pursuing what we’re told to think we need (that most believe by choice)
Lets ditch these wanks, form our own banks…
Loved it, I’m assuming it is original !
You could have had a part on the Firefly show that was canceled !

This would be the perfect time for everyone to read, or re-read, The Future of Money by Bernard Leitaer, the Belgian economist who has been teaching at US universities for many years and who was a world-leading currency trader and a founder of the European monetary system. Lietaer has much to say about complementary currencies in hard times, including Depression-era US and Germany.
Kevlar Floss,
Can forward and your song to everyone in my address book?!
I know a few good musicians, too~
Yes Ed its original alright. In fact the first part was posted on Catherine’s “Ten reasons not to bailout Wall Street” article.
And Yes Angela please forward to anyone you like. It would really make my day.
People need to wake up.. What better way than music…?
God Bless
