Perhaps the reason I long to read on those permanent issue is because I've recourse to meditation lately to hold it all in: work, the political and economic crisis, etc...<br /><br />I don't think the situation is hopeless but I do know the future will be less fun and less free, whatever happens. What bothers me most are not macro-global matter but the diminished quality of everyday life. I'm 36 and old enough to have noticed a joyless creep in and an impoverishment of our experiences. There is no political solution or salvation. Our quest for one has been part of the problem.

Are we facing hopeless odds? And if not, what strategy makes sense to you?<br /><br />Marcus,<br /><br />I have often lamented my failure to write more about spirituality and the paranormal. They were originally intended to be central to this blog. <br /><br />Alas, to say anything meaningful about either subject involves a great deal of research, thought, and intuition. The promptings of spirit are subtle, hard to grasp, even harder to put into words. I have found that's a tall order for someone working full time and mostly posting during lunch hour or at odd free moments. <br /><br />One day, perhaps when I am retired, I will rebalance the contents of this blog to give more weight to spirituality and the paranormal.<br /><br />Meanwhile, as one who considered himself apolitical until a handful of years ago, I cannot ignore what seems to me a crisis for my country and civilization. I have to do what I can. The spiritual reality is eternal: it cannot be overcome: it will always be available, and does not need me to speak for it.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-80728610445719528592009-12-29T11:40:50.154-10:002009-12-29T11:40:50.154-10:00Thanks for your reply.

I never used the word, you did. This is not even a hidden history. It's all in the open if you care to look. If you piece together mainstream news stories, contextualize them historically and apply some healthy cynicism (not ugly nihilism), it can be pieced together. I do not think it is purely financial (though from my perspective in i-banking, that's what I see most). I know the power of ideas - and Islam is a genuine threat.<br /><br />But at least entertain that the immigration issue has occurred entirely on purpose and liberalism is but the tool. A former Blair speech writer explicitly admitted as much.<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/6418456/Labour-wanted-mass-immigration-to-make-UK-more-multicultural-says-former-adviser.html<br /><br />Enjoy your website - more on spirituality and paranormal!!!Marcusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-65763825527888457902009-12-29T05:19:32.462-10:002009-12-29T05:19:32.462-10:00Rick

They even talked of a "framework", the very mechanism that dragooned European states into the EU. Lord Monckton has more.<br /><br />There had to be other aspects to this AGW scam apart from money, else it would never have got so far. For a start it had to have political objectives, over and above financial gain. In fact the West was going to lose financially, therefore there had to be political objectives.<br /><br />1. First it was a matter of money. Huge amounts of money, looted from the middle-income taxpayer in the West, under the guise of issuing certificates in a false commodity - CO2, to be financed via ever increasing energy bills. <br /><br />2. To supra-national governments such as the EU, it provided an excellent opportunity to control all industry, agriculture and transport from Brussels. It would be a lock on the Lisbon treaty that no future nationalist European government could break. <br /><br />It was also an opportunity for the EU to extend its reach globally – PM Brown could hardly utter a sentence without “global” this or that cropping up. <br /><br />3. To national governments in the West, it provided an opportunity to exercise control over their own people far beyond what they normally could. <br /><br />4. To the Left and socialists, in government or otherwise, AGW was the ideal vehicle to advance the start of global government. The fact that capitalists were to financially gain, was a small price to pay, and in any case, would be dealt with later. In a global government, there would be no place to run and hide.<br /><br />5. A global government would also be the vehicle by which local governments could be controlled via money to its leaders, particularly in Africa, where a rapidly rising population and resulting food shortages, could lead to huge movements of population to the West.<br /><br />COP- 15 at Copenhagen, was to be the start by which AGW policy, with its lock hold on all uses of energy in industry, agriculture and transport, was to be implemented globally. This would be a global government in all but name. <br /><br />It is ironic that China, a supposedly socialist state, put a stop to this enterprise. The Chinese, a pragmatic people, were never going to hand over their governance and economy to a bunch of international bureaucrats at the UN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-28173149601903765672009-12-29T03:26:09.635-10:002009-12-29T03:26:09.635-10:00Marcus and DP111,

The "orchestrated coup" would be like an invisible planet whose existence astronomers discern only because of its effects on other bodies.<br /><br />So I can't absolutely say your theory is mistaken. But while I believe there are elements of truth there, as a whole your assumptions seem over the top. And while I can't speak for Larry Auster, I have never said that liberalism is the only cause of the threat to the Republic. Economic interests are definitely a factor.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-90240644622799932532009-12-29T01:31:01.327-10:002009-12-29T01:31:01.327-10:00Marcus

Do you really believe it's political correctness that prevents profiling at airports and liberalism that motivates mass Muslim immigration? Please! This entire project has been an orchestrated coup of the Western world by a disembodied ruling class and ancient financial interests intent on creating, yes, a new world order. Liberalism is simply the ideology that best serves that project by weakening society, emasculating men, deconstructing the family, isolating the individual before the state and disinheriting man from his ancestors, traditions and political culture. Why do you think the CIA pumped millions into the feminist movement? This ideology is but a tool, not a cause. Mass Third World immigration is a way of electing a new people, a more compliant, less politically aware people. Race, gender and all the rest are mechanism to keep us fighting and distracted as the currency is devalued, the middle class is looted and the consolidation of our world into "blocs" goes unnoticed. The government profiles when it needs to, e.g. gun owners, Ron Paul supporters, End the Fed rallies, militias, etc. This is WELL understood by people like Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, Jim Sinclair and even myself who work in investment banking and finance. What is happening in the West is no longer an issue of political philosophy (something I studied in college and graduate school - Plato, the classics, ancient Greek, Machiavelli, Nietzsche; I was once a sort of Straussian at Chicago). The game has changed. To understand this you need to study what has happened to countries like Argentina and Wiemar Germany. America is being looted - literally. They let in these people on purpose knowing it will lead to terror or they facilitate the terror (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=10e_1261972165) knowing the people themselves will call for a police state and control grid. By looking at this through the Left-Right paradigm, you are missing the woods for the trees. This is not about liberalism; this is about a revolutionary financial coup that has willfully de-industrialized America, stupefied its people and now means to throw her in the gutter like a virgin who's been gang raped to death. If you think 2001-2009 was bad, wait for the next decade. We will live to see things worse than Auschwitz and Stalin - in Iowa.<br /><br />Liberalism?
