Oh, really? And that is your view of Obama? I remind you that when Obama was elected there was a huge celebration in the Domes in Fairfield with the TMO taking credit for his election due to yogic flying. So that should mean that since he is in office the TMO can take credit for his policies too, eh? -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 4/13/14, nablusoss1008 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

Saying it "doesn't work very well" shows you unfortunately have no clue, or probably no interest in finding out. And you are mixing up Northern Europe with European economics in general which doesn't bid very well for a meaningful discussion. And are Northern European economy "not vastly different from North American ones" ?You could start by taxing the Americans at least 40% in direct taxes + huge indirect taxes on anything from gasoline (In Denmark they pay 10$ pr gallon) to food and distribute that wealth for common good as free healthcare for all, 1 year maternity leave with 100% salary for the mother, 4 months for the father, 1 year payment of 80% of your income if you're laid off work and give the rest to those who for different reasons can't work. THEN you can start comparing the systems. I certainly wish Obama good luck. But his programs are too little and too late when almost 50 million Americans go hungry, the number of people in jails the highest of any developed country and they have the highest infant mortality rate of any western country. Perhaps he is obstructing change less than previous Presidents but I'm afraid Obama will be remembered as a wonderful speaker and not much else. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Nablusoss, I've also heard some prediction that the US will go through a really difficult time and then return even stronger.

So many that the current structures simply will fall away. At least that's what I'm hoping (-: On Sunday, April 13, 2014 6:35 AM, nablusoss1008 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: "They will be no long term decline, the United States will enforce it's dominance over the whole world in a few short years." May God help us all.If you think capitalism will take a dip just to return even stronger than before please think again. It's understandable that the huge transformations that is coming is not yet grasped by most people who cling to the glamour of money and power.There will be no Age of Enlightenment, Golden Age, Age of Aquarius, New Age or whatever you wish to call it if the economic structures of this planet isn't completely restructured and gains a new foundation based on sharing and brotherhood. I doubt you are so foolish as to believe that the gross unbalance and injustice in the use and distribution of resources of this planet where thousands of children die every single day of hunger can go on indefinitely. Chicken or the egg again. I think the only way the world could be restructured consciously and on purpose (as opposed to this happening as a result of natural upheaval based on all sorts of other forces) would be if people were to suddenly have their eyes and hearts and minds open to come to truly respect and love others of their species. This isn't just going to happen because we change our economic structure. We can't change our economic situation until our viewpoints and world views change. And what is going to bring that about en masse? When Maharishi said capitalism will go he meant it will be replaced but didn't go into the details of what that will be. Benjamin Crème has indicated that the new system of economics that will replace the current financial system in the aftermath of the huge coming crisis (forget 1987 or 2008 think much worse than 1929) will be modeled along the social-democratic systems practiced in northern Europe. Well that is not working so well either. I would hardly call European "economic systems" vastly different from North American ones. And yes, it definitely incorporates some degree of socialism which will secure food, medical care and shelter for all no matter where you live on this planet. You might find it useful to get used to the idea. Obamacare, welfare and all other social programs already in place or being implemented as we speak. Hardly revolutionary or transformative.

When it comes to the current excesses, even the Republicans will come to realize what reforms they have to make in order to continue to thrive.
