I was leafing through a few books at the library while I was waiting for 
youngest (she volunteers there) and one of them was a sort of Lies My 
Teacher Told Me type book.

I'm reading away and quickly figured out it was a sort of Christian 
apologist book.  However, because of the title and the general method used 
to write it, the average sheople wouldn't have noticed.  It was a donated 
book and had been well used.  I only spent a few minutes going through it 
but was amazed at the "logic" used in the book.  Then thought about how many 
people would buy this stuff wholesale.

Now, before Bob jumps up with and down with giggles, the books starts with 
the Pilgrims, I didn't go looking for the white guys vs. the red guys <g>

According to the book the Pilgrims didn't steal any land from the Indians. 
Ah, y'all sitting down?  Wanna know how he comes to this conclusion?  Well, 
because the King gave the folks who came here land grants, therefore they 
weren't stealing land.  And they didn't really think the Indians were 
different.  I mean, forget everything that the gov of Plimoth said in his 
diaries.  They just thought they were white people who used too many stains 
and didn't bath enough.

Now, Leslie, there are lots of people who believe this stuff.  So, how can 
you be the least bit surprised that they won't believe that the free ride is 
going to end?  They choose what to believe regardless of how far fetched it 
is.  The old comedy routine about "don't confuse me with the facts" is the 
bumper sticker on the Hummer of all the sheople!

WHY? The simple answer is because the fiat currencies of the world are 
collapsing.

"You can not have your cake and eat it too." The US government has promised 
a lot of cake - but it already ate all the cake decades ago. Reality comes 
crashing down eventually.

I just got done reading a long article about chaos and change by Dr. Petrov, 
from the Prince Sultan University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is long but very 
good... and to sum it up, the global monetary system is at a critical 
juncture, fast approaching a breakpoint - the point where the whole system 
either explodes or implodes at lightning speed - it is a chaos transition 
point.

People like the blacksmith you mentioned sense the unfolding chaos. They 
know something is wrong, but don't know what. Just about everyone alive 
today has lived under a lie - under a fiat money system. They have no basis 
of reasoning - no knowledge - to understand the lie, acknowledge it is a 
lie, and that the reality of the outcome of the lie is responsible for the 
unfolding chaos they sense.

Attempts to educate people about the lie are meet with denial of reality - 
because people want to have their cake and eat it too. They do not 
understand the piece of paper in their wallets is worth more as toilet 
paper - it is not wealth in any form.

They just know something is wrong. Without a basis of economics, or an 
understanding of the function of money (both the lies of fiat currency and 
that outcome, and the gold standard and the morality required to uphold it), 
irrational explanations are given - such as the belief that a comet is on 
the way and the government knows it - as an attempt to explain that which 
they either don't understand, certainly were never taught, or refuse to 
believe if one makes an attempt to explain it to them.

The reason the government is spending money out of control - is quite 
simple. The government politicians made trillions in promises long term to 
citizens for their short term political gains. The bills are coming due (in 
the form of Treasuries maturing) and they didn't save the money to pay.... 
therefore they print the money out of thin air.

The real estate and other bubbles didn't happen by accident either. Pension 
funds (government and private) need to get a 6% return (promised).... but 
when "safe" interest rates on Treasuries are low (i.e. 1% back in the 
Greenspan days) the fund managers MUST resort to riskier investments, which 
then snowballs.

In an attempt to keep the party going, the misguided Fed is printing money 
to bail-out everyone that they favor. Ha, GMAC was bailed out, and became a 
bank. GMAC borrows from the Fed at 1/4% interest, and loans out $ at 
0%............. hello, guaranteed 1/4% loss on the interest spread 
alone....... is this logical??? It is a bankrupt idea of fools.

The snowball has grown to the size that the government can not prevent 
collapse,,,, but I seriously doubt that more than a handful of our electeds 
have any understanding of the monetary forces in play.


You wrote the man you spoke about indicated: "The powers that be
won't alert the public and cause mass panic, but since the
'discovery' was made, there has been an attitude of apathy develop about the
problems in this country. He did not think that everyone guilty of
apathy or dishonesty was in on the secret, but that over time the crap
has risen to the surface because no one wants to put in the energy to
fix problems. "

True - the government will not alert the public - if they did it would be 
game over instantly, and the politicians would lose their perceived power. 
And mass panic - definitely.

What was discovered? Their unsound monetary concepts failed.

In on the secret? They don't even recognize the source of the problem.

Fix the problems? Oh they are trying tons of ways to fix the unfixable.... 
If they would acknowledge the problem is not fixable they would put their 
energy into return to a system that works. They will never choose the path 
that requires voluntarily. Only through natural economic forces will it be 
forced on the government.... chaos and collapse of the existing system.
