Could it be the powers to be, I'll admit I have no clue as to who they are,

[madokie]

are responsible for most of the turmoil through out the world possibly as simply to lower the population of our planet while they are manipulating us to where they want us to ultimately be, serfs. We're well on the way to the two classes of the haves and the have nots and looks t me that everything going on in the financial world now is designed to further that along.

1. No greedy people take as much as they can from other people

and people in power use that power to take as much as they can from people below them and use various propaganda to make them believe what they are doing is good for them or at the bequest of some Deity. This is a story that has been occurring in the world since man first abandoned the hunting and gathering lifestyle and started to settle down in villages to farm.

The Powers that Be hate each other more than they hate us. We are just pawns in their contest to one up each other.

4. I think that is a misconception (the way it's always been thing).

We forget that our recorded history is only about 5% of human history, and the more we learn the more it appears that cooperation was the rule before the desert god of death overcame.

If you are so inclined, read "The Chalice and the Blade" and/or "When God was a Woman". Both of these works are just full of "Ah ha" moments, at least they were for me.

2. TPTB do the turmoil thing to make money and consolidate power. I personally

think they'd like to lower the population.

3. I can see the Haves seeing in the ultimate dreams of their future existence

that there would be far fewer of us serfs, only enough to give them what they want and not a person more. Worry with us not one bit, when a hurricane or a tornado or a wild fire or a big winter freeze, an earthquake or any number of natural catastrophes happen we to be left on our own. New Orleans showed us that if it didn't show us anything else. Isn't that their big battle cry to get the government off our backs, what else could that mean I ask? This is class warfare no matter what anyone says. Plain and simple.

5. They want America

to be like a tourist attraction, that is owned purely by corporations. Which is basically what we have going on right now.

They also view anyone that doesn't make as much money as them as poor. It's a very "middle ages" approach of thinking. And I'm hoping, that Obama will stick a dick (ungreased),in all the asses of the rich, blood sucking, vampires at the top.

I take an eye for an eye approach - when it comes to wealthy greedy scumbags. They'll reap all the horrors that they've sewn, and I'll be enjoying every second of their misery (that they surely deserve.)

6. they (have mores) sure have no qualms about hiding how greedy they are.
