I know her from an online discussion group focussed on our government's complicity in drug importing (CIA/Contra/Crack connection, etc...)

From: "catherine Fitts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am thinking tonight about the things that each one of us can do in our lives day to day that will make a small but concrete difference in transforming us to a civilization which enjoys real democracy and markets. Tonight I would like to write as a woman to the women...or if you are a guy, the women in your life if you care to pass this on. When I am still grappling with an issue, I need to just put out what I feel. I need to swarm on it and see where the swarm takes it. Please forgive me if I give offense. Our feelings always lead us into areas that are so sensitive for all of us. So help me out and here goes. Dan Russell's new book on the Drug Wars is so wonderful it is hard to describe. One of the reasons it gave me so much energy was it really reconnected me emotionally with the critical importance of criminalization of essential hungers (drugs, sex, money) to increase profit margins and create franchise control for those who control the enforcement mechanisms within a society. It is a way to turn over control to the most evil; the most violent. Every one of us has a dream. Every one of us wants or hungers for beauty, truth, attention, admiration, pleasure, knowledge, connection, procreation. We have intentions, we have desires. We have myths in our head that speak to what gives us energy. Each of us is totally unique but we all enjoy having lots of energy. We just get it and give it in an endless variety of ways. That is why markets, democracy and other swarm systems are so wonderful where they have the rule of law and the rule of performance protecting their integrity....they let us move around in the dance. They offer us the freedom to take it or leave it or vote or not on thousands of questions a day. In terms of a community or society's management of resources there are two essential models. The first is based on the assumption that using markets and democracy that we can optimize our meaning and our energy (whether our space, our knowledge, our money, our health, our time, etc) best by letting every man and woman pursue their dream, even help them get it. The other model assumes that other parties are evil, that the system can not work on a self organizing basis, and that I need to rig it for my team. Let me say it another way using Solari's Popsicle Index. Again, the Popsicle Index is a performance measurement for the performance of community investment. The Popsicle Index is the % of people in a community who believe that a child can leave their home, go to the nearest place to get a popsicle and come home alone safely. So, for example, when I was five, the Popsicle Index in West Philadelphia was 100%. Ten years later after CIA and HUD had moved in, the Popsicle Index was 50% and falling. There was and always is a direct correlation between the Popsicle Index and the value of the homes and real estate and other assets in a community. So the homeowners got killed, but could get rich reversing it too. In essence a few guys get rich with CIA and HUD, but it is much less wealth than the wealth destroyed. That is what is powerful about reversing the process. Undoing the harm creates much more wealth, much more broadly distributed. All enterprise --whether government or business--can be divided up between things that make the Popsicle Index go up and things that make the Popsicle Index go down. I think e-bay and my cousin Jane help the Popsicle Index go up. I think CIA drug dealing and Katherine Graham cause it to go down. I get my thrills out of making money or teaching other people how to make money making the Popsicle Index go up. I also get thrills making money deleting people who make the Popsicle Index go down. So the idea of the CIA Drugs class action suit building into a tobacco suit settlement has me pretty jazzed. If the legal industry can see a way to make money on draining the folks who make the Popsicle Index go down with drugs, we can get a whole lot done. Meantime, my dream has more to do with a guy and being safe than with money. In my family, if you ask a Northern woman how to get anything done, she will dial into Amazon, get the books, and figure out how to build a nuclear reactor in the back yard or whatever. If you ask a Southern woman, she will simply figure out who knows a nuclear engineer and then she will figure out how to get him to want to build one in her back yard. She thinks in terms of incentives. The issue of whether the Popsicle Index goes up or down in America is connected to incentives. What do I need to do to make sure I and my family are physically and financially safe and what do I have to do to get my dream? Increasingly, more and more people are incentivized to make the Popsicle Index go down. Let me give you an example. Let's say Time Magazine does not tell the truth. Do we buy it still? Yes. Which means that the Chairman gets a big bonus each year and has access to low cost stock market capital which means he can buy or sell the politicians and small business folks like me. OK., if he gets the money, who gets the girls? Who wins the breeding rights? Cause that is what it is about. It is about human energy. Attention. Love. Energy. Warmth. Admiration. Sex. Heirs. Eternal Life through physical and mental genes. Well, let's say Mike Ruppert and Dan Hopsicker are walking down Fifth Avenue squabbling. Out comes a senior management type from Wackenhut who is making big big bucks and he gets into his turbo charge Porsche to drive to his summer estate in the Hamptons. Who is going to get the girls? For a date, for some good loving, for a wife? OK, did the CIA make that decision? Nope. They simply hooked us with our own inattention to incentive systems. OK, so what would happen tomorrow if every man in America who make the Popsicle Index go down was considered repulsive by all women. What would happen? OK, so what does that have to do with criminalization? Well, it really has to do with why Calvinism is more dangerous than the CIA and why that knowledge can help us turn this thing around. There are things that men and women need which are essential for their health and happiness. Security is one. Sex is one. I like to think that truth, beauty and joy are all up there. Because everyone needs pleasure and happiness and the things that go into that. If these things are perfectly natural and accessible they usually are not expensive in terms of time or energy to get. Everybody needs them, so the market whether though barter or social arrangement or consumer arrangement builds sustainable capacity to make sure we have what we need on a pretty reasonable basis. Someone can always make money cutting off something we need and then controlling the franchise of providing it to us. So by criminalizing drugs for example we can raise the profits on a shipload of marijuana from say $1MM that needs to be reinvested back in the basic business to $30MM which is mostly available for new activities. As we used to say in New York "pass a law, make a business." Now this can not happen in America unless everybody buys into the myth that using drugs is wrong. That is a tough one given how much Merck et al is making providing Ritalin like products to drug our kids. So a lot of branding goes into what is a good drug and what is a bad drug. But we have to go along with the deal. Heroin and cocaine are bad. We should not legalize. We should police our ethics with government intervention. Which brings me to sex which is where I want to go. There is no way you can control a society with money. Money can swing the swarm this way or that, but it can not keep every body shut up on things like Waco. You need other things. That is where physical intimidation and harm come in. But you have to be careful there because killing to many people blows the branding. Which is why sex has been so very useful to keeping this game going. Men with no access to great sex and admiration and praise and where prostitution is illegal can be slowly brought to hunger and deviant hunger through deprivation. Then they can get interested in lots of stuff, including increasingly deviant sex. One of the most beautiful energy forces in the world has got to be the sexual hunger of men. How can we not love that joy and that power? Clearly, it is one of the all time energizer bunnies of the human race. Meantime, nothing is more depressing than seeing it bottled up, misused and turn in negative directions. Indeed, while patriarchy may be pretty wonderful for the top 1-20% of the men in a society, it is pretty hideous for the rest. All the guys have to play enforcement or clean up just to get limited access to sex and the self-esteem issues are pretty ugly. Meantime, Calvinism is making sure that the pleasure that we each need is coming up short. It is part and parcel of the use of hierarchies to channel that beautiful energy force of men into fighting their way of the chain of limited prestige and related perks, many of them genetic and sexual. Adam Jukes is a counselor of men who abuse woman. He has written two of the best books I have found so far on some of these issues. He estimates that 40% of men hit or abuse woman and that most of them are psychological normal. That pretty much fits my personal experience and that of the women in my family, my schools, my work places. What that means is that we are socially sick. My guess is that many animals only get like this in zoos or labs. I wish that tomorrow every woman woke up in America with the sudden idea in her head that she was going to snub any man who did anything that made the Popsicle Index go down and focus her energy on men who make the Popsicle Index go up. Indeed, institute a double standard. Calvinism for the guys who make it go down. Abundance of admiration and attention for those who make it go up. Forget class. Forget all those other dividing lines. Let's talk pure performance. Guys who make the Popsicle Index go down are causing us to be not safe. Y2K is another perfect example. The saddest moment of my year was at a conference--Woman Thou Art Loosed== that was the happiest times of the year. We were 100,000 Christian woman in Atlanta this summer for a truly life changing and wonderful revival of women. We had many many more women teleconferenced in from prisons around the country. George W. Bush came on in a speaker call. The women roared and cheered. I thought this was absurd. The official representative of the shadow government rigging us into jail is being cheered. That evening I went out to dinner with a friend who sat next to me. She reads From the Wilderness, she has heard Mike speak, she used to work at DEA. She knows what's up. She was standing and cheering and all excited. Her kid was almost killed in a drive by shooting last year. These things are connected. Bush was going to be the next President she said, because of all the money he had raised and all the powerful people supporting him and his attention to TD Jakes honored him and us. That was wonderful. Thousands of women cheering for their jailers. Because they have the money and the power. They do not have the money and the power. What they have is our minds. We give them our money and the power. They control us with the mind hooks we give them. We want to be free of taking responsibility. So they can have the money and power as long as we can pretend we are safe. If women focus our energy on the men who make the popsicle index go up, stop pressuring men to make sure they provide financial security irregardless of what that means in terms of supporting a rotten system or turning a blind eye, redefine prestige in terms of a man's positive contribution to a healthy family and environment and take responsibility to provide an alternative brand of what it means to be a man, things can change a lot. Being a man has nothing to do with money and prestige on the titanic. Noah's wife and kids were the ones that did not drown. I always think of Fess Parker in the movie the Alamo. He made me feel safe, he could plant and get things to grow. And you know he was fabulous when the lights went out. All men who like women and get treated right by them end up that way. I doubt he had a dime to his name. Money is not worth much during survival time. Deviancy is deviancy. I don't want to breed with deviancy for any amount of money or fame. Ethel Velez once got mad at me and said with an edge "well, honey, you are white, and you do not run the risk of being lynched" Before I could think twice, I said "well, Ethel, at least you can relax when you get home. You don't have to sleep with the lyncher or have his children." Ethel backed off. There are not that many deviant guys. But there are a lot of guys who are controlled by them because its the way they think they can provide for us or have access to us. We control the access gate. Not the shadow government. All we have to do is believe in abundance and ditch Calvinism. So here is my way to stop CIA drug trafficking today step #214 for woman. Praise and pet every man you know who makes the Popsicle Index go up for the next week in the ways you might do it that gives you energy and is comfortable and appropriate for your relationship. For example, leave candy for the postman, giggle and wink at the guy who takes your bags at the airport, thank Dan and all the other guys on this list for their incredible courage over so many years, tell your dad you love him if he is making the Popsicle Index go up, otherwise read him the riot act, cancel all your subscriptions to national media, turn off TV that lies or omits, and tell your mate how much you appreciate him....and delete from your life anyone who is on Richard Grasso or Clinton or Bush's staff or who works at Bank of New York or Fidelity (who wants to give energy to guys who help money launderers)...and so forth.... Delete the men who like making the Popsicle Index go down, help those who would like not to do so to a better place. See what happens and if something along these lines works for you, teach two woman how to do this in the following week and two more each week thereafter. Tell them to do the same. Believe it or not, if we all invented this together, we could turn around 264 million folks in a year or two. There is a lot of happiness to be gotten from seeing the good guys win, and blush and giggle and perk up.
