[FairfieldLife] excellent "TRENDS" article
There's not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente. The man knows what he's talking about." - CNBC Chinamerica Medical Tourism Systemic Recession Plantation Economy Old School Is Cool Internet Candidate Technotribalism Re-United States America The Beautiful December 21, 2006 Rhinebeck, New York - As 2006 comes to an end, The Trends Research Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, has released its "Top Trends for 2007." The Editor and Publisher of The Trends Journal is Gerald Celente. USA Today, CNBC and other news media call Celente one of the best trend analyzers in the business. His annual trends lists have accurately forecast several American and world events. For example, in his 1997 book, Trends 2000, Gerald Celente warned that the Soviet black market could literally "blow up" in the world's face if Russian-made suitcase nukes were sold to terrorists. He also predicted the 1998 financial collapse in Southeast Asia that caused great turmoil in United States and global markets. Before the American military attacked, Celente warned that a move into Iraq could be disastrous. He also saw the danger in growing Third World populations where animals and people live closely together. In that human and animal closeness, new viruses and bacteria can emerge and cause pandemics like the 1918 swine flu. Soon after Celente's trends warning, millions of chickens in Hong Kong had to be slaughtered to prevent the new and lethal H5N1 avian virus from spreading in poultry. Now a decade later, bird flu has spread around the world and Iraq seems to be spiraling out of control into complicated civil war, which might bring Iran, Syria and Saudia Arabia into a full scale regional conflict. The world is obsessed by terrorist threats, possible nuclear attacks and what will happen to economies if a nightmare explodes? While the United States is struggling to pay for the Iraq war and to maintain its weakened influence in world affairs, other nations such as China are leaping forward with economic vigor. In fact, at the top of Gerald Celente's Top Trends for 2007 is "Chinamerica." Gerald Celente, Editor and Publisher, The Trends Journal, Rhinebeck, New York. -- -- Interview: Chinamerica Gerald Celente, Editor and Publisher, The Trends Journal, Rhinebeck, New York:"As we all know, the 20th Century was called the "American Century" and it really did belong to America. After World War II, there was no one to rival the United States. We found out the Russian Bear was really just a flea-bitten old dog. Their strength was boosted artificially by the CIA and other organizations because when the Iron Curtain came down, it was apparent that it was only the United States that was the world heavy weight, economically and militarily. As we enter into the 21st Century, the situation is changed. China is moving into the position of becoming within a decade the world economic heavy weight and they are going to be a military contender. The irony of all this is that China is becoming more like the United States and the United States is becoming more like China was. Let me explain. Today in China, the energy, the enthusiasm, the zeal of a people who have been freed from enslavement first by foreign powers and then by dictatorial governments have now been set free. It's kind of like America in the 1950s the entrepreneurial spirit, the boom time, the feeling that they can achieve anything a Can Do attitude. Conversely, in the United States, the situation is reversed. The Can Do spirit is gone. Entrepreneurism is very difficult to achieve in a society where the cost of entry into business is so high because of all of the government regulations and restrictions. It's very hard for a small entrepreneur to get started without having almost $100,000, particularly in the retail field. So, it's very hard to breakthrough. Then again, you have a reversal of roles. In China today, they are encouraging the entrepreneurs who think for themselves to become what they can become. In America, what's happened? Well, look at who gets the tax breaks. These aren't matters of opinion. These are matters of fact. The top people get the tax breaks. Who gets the big loans, the guarantees, the tax write-offs and all of the amenities when a big company moves into an area? They give it to the Big Company in America. They don't give it to the small guys. Do you want to build a stadium? We'll give you all the grand tax breaks and money that you need but you can't give it to the little guy! A big real estate developer now, according to the Supreme Court of the U. S., can come into your community and take your home away from you! Under the laws of new eminent domain, the city or state can say, `No, it's a better economic deal or benefit to give it to the Big Guy than the Littl
[FairfieldLife] 'nuther cool post from Gilliland
It seems as though the merry-go-round has just shifted into overdrive and a lot of people are not hanging on. Friends, family and lovers are all being flung off the ride. Blaming, projecting, making everyone else responsible for their experiences on the way out. The only ones left on the ride are the ones that have made clearing themselves of old wounds, traumas and wrong conclusions from past experiences a priority. The rest are all huddled together in like mind playing the victim blame game. Those that have chosen to awaken, heal and release the past are still on the ride. Now it seems the ride is slowing down again and many are given a second chance to get back on providing they have healed and gained the wisdom from the last experience. The way to know if they have healed and gained the wisdom from the experiences is the level of humbleness and sincerity which usually is followed by an apology. Extending a hand to help them get back on the wheel will result in the same experience if they have not healed and gained the wisdom from the experiences only the next ride is going to be exponentially faster. The ride is known as the quickening and the new frequencies are going to show us exactly what we need to let go of to move on to the next level. Anything left in the first three seals or chakras which does not correspond with love and is out of balance is going to manifest and draw people and events into your daily lives. The first three seals are survival, sex and power. Many are misusing these energies knowingly and unknowingly due to wrong conclusions from past experiences and old habits. Misuse of these energies are going to manifest some very undesirable events in the days to come. Using power or money to obtain sex, using sex to obtain power and money, thinking your survival depends on sex and money all of these issues are coming up fast and furious. The confusion in the first three seals is manifesting rearing its ugly head as a reflection of what needs to be healed and addressed. Lots of politicians are going to go down on this one, no pun intended. We have to ask where is the love? The love is what is clearing the first three seals opening up the fourth seal which is love for all people and all things. I was once told God is a frequency, a power and it is best accessed through feelings. This frequency or force is what is behind the merry-go-round that is tossing out the things that no longer serve you and manifesting the lessons, the people and events that are there as your teachers. After the last ride we have a little reflection time to look back and asses what worked, what did not work and where we need to clean up our consciousness. Many will not gain the wisdom from the experience bad habits are sometimes hard to break and will be flung off even further, land harder and experience even more pain the next time around. All the time Spirit, God the Creator call it what you wish will be saying As You Wish and shifting gears and putting the pedal to the metal for the next ride. It is called evolution and it is the destiny of humanity and the Earth to evolve to the next level the fourth seal and remove all that which does not resonate in the first three seals with love. In other words survival comes from following spirit, soul purpose not the ego allowing spirit to guide and take care of you yet do not forget you must act on the guidance and do your part. Sex must also be driven by the heart and not have survival or power attached to it. The need for love outside of self or gaining energies from another must shift to a sharing from the heart. Power is one of the most abused energies in the physical. Real power comes from allowing the source to flow through you in service to others. It does not come from overpowering, controlling, dominating, or manipulating others. These lessons are going to come hard and fast and again if we do not gain the wisdom, heal and release the past the next go around will be even more intense. Stubbornness, and arrogance are not assets in the days to come. Just a little heads up concerning the merry-go-round we are all on. The next ride is going to exponentially increase until November when the wheel reaches top speed. Who will be left on the wheel? The ones that know how to own the experience, surrender to spirit and have the courage to hang on. Hang on the ending of the ride is awesome.

[FairfieldLife] Memory can be erased like a reformatted hard drive
The SUNY Downstate researchers reported in the August 25 issue of Source: SUNY Downstate Medical Center Date: September 3, 2006 Scientists Discover Memory Molecule Scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center have discovered a molecular mechanism that maintains memories in the brain. In an article in Science magazine, they demonstrate that by inhibiting the molecule they can erase long-term memories, much as you might erase a computer disc. Furthermore, erasing the memory from the brain does not prevent the ability to re-learn the memory, much as a cleaned computer disc may be re-used. This finding may some day have applications in treating chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and memory loss, among other conditions. The SUNY Downstate researchers reported in the August 25 issue of Science that an enzyme molecule called "protein kinase M zeta" preserves long-term memories through persistent strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons. This is analogous to the mechanism storing information as 0's and 1's in a computer's hard disc. By inhibiting the enzyme, scientists were able to erase a memory that had been stored for one day, or even one month. This function in memory storage is specific to protein kinase M zeta, because inhibiting related molecules did not disrupt memory. These findings may be useful for the treatment of disorders characterized by the pathological over-strengthening of synaptic connections, such as neuropathic pain, phantom limb syndrome, dystonia, and post-traumatic stress. Conversely, the identification of the core molecular mechanism for memory storage may focus effort on the development of specific therapeutic agents that enhance memory persistence and prevent memory loss. Earlier this year, SUNY Downstate scientists reported that PKMzeta was bound up in the tangles of Alzheimer's disease, thus perhaps blocking its function in memory storage.

[FairfieldLife] A James Gilliland Post
Many sensitives and adepts are feeling the ongoing shifts of energy which are exponential in nature like great waves passing through the Earth. These shifts are creating change on every level. We are being told over and over there will be another grand shift yet this one has some real big hitters involved. Universal Beings coming together for this event to assist adding their consciousness to the already ongoing awakening and healing process. The negative grid as we speak is being shattered, the denser energies which allowed the forces of tyranny, the concepts of separation and againstness as well as competition over cooperation are finding it harder and harder to operate. Those who hold onto and operate in alignment with these energies are experiencing physical aliments such as heart attacks and mental disorders as seen in the top levels of almost all institutions. What was hidden is being revealed, the true nature and motive of each individual is surfacing. With the great wave of energy coming in November it just may very well be the end of tyranny, the dismantling and fall of individuals and collectives which are not aligned with the awakening and healing process. would expect to see some great changes on every level between now and November continuing on until December.

[FairfieldLife] 911 and the Neocon Agenda Aired on C-SPAN
Finally, some mainstream coverage: C-SPAN to Air Historic 9/11 Exposé 9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda Panel Discussion to Run on Saturday, July 29th at 8PM (EST) Infowars | July 27, 2006 C-SPAN has confirmed that their coverage of the 9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda Panel Discussion will air on C-SPAN 1 on July 29th at 8PM (EST). The panel features incredible presentations by 9/11 Scholars for Truth founder James Fetzer, BYU Physics Professor Steven Jones, President of the Institute for Space and Security Studies Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret., Filmmaker and Radio Broadcaster Alex Jones, and Terrorism Expert Webster Tarpley. The appearance of this discussion on the nation's premiere public affairs cable network is an incredible boon to the 9/11 Truth Movement. None of the 9/11 Truth events that C-SPAN has covered in the past are as hard-hitting as the 9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda program. This panel discussion cuts to the heart of the issue and exposes the events of September 11th, 2001 as a complex premeditated plot carried out by criminal elements within the U.S. Government as a pretext for launching the endless "War on Terror" in which the globe is currently embroiled. C-SPAN's coverage of this pivotal information will bring considerable national attention to the 9/11 Truth Movement. It will also lend further credibility to the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, the premiere organization within the movement for peer- reviewed scientific research on 9/11 issues. MORE INFO If you don't have cable, you can watch online by clicking here See the four-camera Infowars coverage of the Panel Discussion right now by becoming a member of Prisonplanet.tv Each member of the panel brought their own particular perspective and expertise to the discussion while each maintained throughout their comments that 9/11 was an "inside job." Alex Jones, a progenitor of the 9/11 Truth Movement introduced the panel and acted as moderator. Professor Steven E. Jones, an expert in Physics, re-capped his vital new research which has conclusively proven that demolition incendiaries were used to bring down World Trade Center and could have only been placed there in advance of 9/11. As a Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota and a former Marine Corps officer, James Fetzer cut through the myths surrounding the 9/11 hijackers. Former Air Force Interceptor Pilot Robert Bowman brought up the lack of air defense on the day of 9/11 and shed light on the slough of drills conducted on 9/11 to distract the military and prevent Flights 11 & 77 from being shot down. Finally Author and Historian Webster Tarpley tied all of the information together to paint a picture of 9/11. He described the drills, Bush's actions and the blow-by-blow details of that fateful day that revealed what could only be called the horrible truth of a conspiracy fact. It is crucial that everyone see this historic panel discussion on C- SPAN. Tell your friends and family, email colleagues, and post links on message boards. This is an incredible step in spreading the truth about 9/11. The program will air on C-SPAN 1 at 8PM EST (7PM CST) on Saturday, July 29th and then air again for the West Coast at 11pm EST (10pm CST).

[FairfieldLife] First Men on Moon Saw UFOs
If it seems like I'm on a mission, I'm not. I just consider the material I've recently posted as stimulating. Sometimes FFL stimulates my thought, just want to return the favor "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams First Men on Moon Saw UFOs 25-Jul-2006 Buzz Aldrin In the documentary "Apollo 11: The Untold Story," shown on Britain's Channel Five on Monday night, July 24, astronaut Buzz Aldrin says he, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins all saw a UFO shadowing their spacecraft. Apollo 11, which took off on July 16, 1969, was the first manned mission to the moon. Aldrin says, "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?" In the documentary, he says, "Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey, Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know what it is,' you know? We weren't about to do that, because we knew that that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is." He says NASA knew about the UFO but covered up the information. It has just been learned that all but two of the 700 boxes of Apollo 11 videos are mysteriously missing from the National Archives. The footage of the Apollo 11 mission was recorded on special 1-inch magnetic tape, and the only machines that can play it are at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, which is being closed in the fall of 2006. Astronaut Gordon Cooper, who took part in the earlier Mercury and Gemini missions, had his first UFO sighting as an Air Force pilot. He later said that a UFO landed at Edwards Air Force Base. In 1985, Cooper testified at the UN, saying, "I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth. For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us." Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was the 6th man to walk on the moon, has also said he believes in the existence of UFOs.

[FairfieldLife] Walter Cronkite's UFO experience
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams By Bill Knell He's the Newsperson that was there during some of the most history- making events of this century. From the JFK assassination to the first steps of human beings on the Moon. Walter Cronkite was the Reporter who covered those and so many other important events. As CBS Evening News Anchor for many years, Cronkite became a part of many American families as he brought us the news in a straight- forward and fair manner. No matter how he felt personally, you never saw that during his broadcast. He did this all before cable TV became such a big part of viewing, so for many he was more then just a Reporter. Walter Cronkite became a trusted friend of almost all who viewed his work. Despite the fact that he electronically-entered millions of American homes almost every night of the week for so many years, Cronkite was and is a very private person. We know little about his private life and most things you read in that regard are merely guesses or here say. The fact that he managed to work in the Network News business for so many years without being involved in any scandals speaks volumes about his character. CBS was making a special documentary about the UFO Phenomenon in 1973. By the early 1970s, the UFO topic had reached a high point in popularity that had been building for over 25 years. Bookstores were filled with UFO books and magazines. CBS decided that the subject deserved serious consideration and planned to look at it from the standpoint of witnesses with little or no editorial comment. For CBS to prepare a special program about UFOs during those times was not a decision made lightly. The Network was at the height of it's audience influence and everything they did was watched (literally) by the whole world. After months of planning, Walter Cronkite was approached with the idea. Though the program was to be hosted by several CBS News reporters, Cronkite would do the interviews. By 1973 I had already been investigating UFOs for several years. I was presenting several seminars a month on the subject and had already been involved with the media. Although I hadn't written any books, several articles I wrote were used by various newspapers and magazines around the world. As it happened, Walter Cronkite read a small piece that I wrote for a now-defunct UFO publication. The topic of the article was the Air Force cover-up of UFO information and a few cases I had investigated. Chronkite was making a list of people he wanted to interview for the CBS special and the article interested him. In September of 1973 I received a letter from CBS News indicating their interest in my work. After a few phone calls, I was able to meet and speak with the man himself! On a cool New York day in late September of 1973, I sat down and had an informal lunch with Walter Cronkite. By then, I had learned not to be star-struck by anyone. Because of my father's position as an officer in the Air Force, I had met a lot of important people. Still, I was in awe of this News Giant! The funny thing was that his manner was so gentle and laid- back that within a few minutes I was completely at ease. I guess that was his gift and the thing that made him such a successful news anchor. As we lunched, Cronkite told me about the TV Special and indicated that he wanted to interview me. He wanted a younger person's perspective on the phenomenon. Most of the UFO researchers in those days were older and had taken up the topic as a Retirement project. Cronkite was very interested in some of the Air Force stories I had collected. He was especially interested in the fact that I had grown- up in an Air Force family as a person interested in researching UFOs. After about 30 minutes of talking, Cronkite said to me, "Let me tell you my UFO story." For the next five minutes I sat in stunned silence as he told me what had happened. In the 1950s Cronkite was part of a pool of News Reporters brought out to a small South Pacific island to watch the test of a new Air Force missile. After a short inspection of the new system by the reporters, they were lead to an area that was a safe distance from the launch site. The missile was mounted on a specially-built launcher that was attached to a cement base. It was obvious that the area had been quickly built just for the test. The details about the missile were going to be given to the reporters in he form of hand- out sheets and press releases after the test. Cronkite mentioned that he and the other reporters had been warned that photography of the missile test and any audio transmissions or recordings by the press were forbidden. They would have to give a written account of the event. Just as the test was ready to proceed, everyone was writing as fast as they could. As Air Force Security p

[FairfieldLife] Another James Gilliland post re:extraterestrial contact
We have been under the gun lately after the Art Bell interview on Coast to Coast. The phone has been ringing non stop for the entire week concerning the conference, contacts etc. The common remark we have been getting is it touched many deep in the soul and awakened something which was exactly the intent. I prayed that everyone's soul would listen and open to their own knowingness as to the grander reality that is unfolding. The other comment was everyone was glad Art was back, he sounds different, happier and with clear purpose. They were really excited again, the old Coast to Coast is back. The most asked questions after the show were is this for real, is there a God, and when are we going to make contact. In a nut shell yes this is as real as you or I, there is a God but it goes far beyond any images of man and contact has been ongoing with many since childhood, with humanity before any recorded history. At ECETI we have had documented contact for over ten years with thousands of eyewitnesses, photos and hours of video along with the witnesses present while filming. We welcome all who wish to have their own experience and serious UFO investigators that are willing to step out of the box. This is far beyond nuts and bolts, the unfortunate aliens that ran into our rock; and this 3D reality. It is interstellar, interdimensional and involves time travel as well. Many are our ancient ancestors returning. We will cover this all in depth at the Science, Spirit and World Transformation conference along with other subjects. For more information go to www.eceti.org There is limited seating and seats are filling up fast. I almost forgot there are also those who made the usual comments like, you have no proof, you are a freak, nut case and should be locked up. They seemed to miss the guest with several PHDs, his friends that were very knowledgeable in the field of aerospace and the other witnesses that were present while I was on the show all come running in excited due to a large craft coming in during the show. They also missed the last appearance where the project managers from a large aerospace firm and an air traffic controller very knowledgeable in the field told of their experience and took pictures of metallic craft as well as witnessed two large light ships power up and park over our heads. The list of physicists in every field that have come to the ranch and had their own sightings is very impressive yet proving this has never been the goal for me. It is all about sharing a greater reality with those who want to know and allowing those who want to remain in limitation. The universe we can physically measure is less than 1%. The knowledge of the 1% is largely comprised of recycled ignorance old theories that have been proved incorrect for centuries. When are we going to step out of Newtonian barbarianism and into quantum physics? When true science and spirit merge we will have the answer to all the questions then we will have to find more unlimited questions.

[FairfieldLife] Year of Good Darshan
I haven't posted for awhile... I saw Amma for the first time last Sept '05 in San Ramon, CA. It was interesting. Sitting in the hall where she held bhajans, satsang and hugs. With closed eyes I felt waves of "something" spiritual-energy, constantly emanating form her without break. I got 2 hugs, the absolute seemed to be "right there" in meditations for a few days afterwards. I only went for the one day, she comes back in June, I plan to attend all available days next time. By the way, Rick is she coming to usa in Apr? http://amma.org/ On Shiva Ratri night Feb 26 a few days ago I saw Swami Nithyananda in Arcadia (next to Los Angeles) perform a puja for the occaision. He explained that on Shiva Ratri night (of the new moon) that a "clairivoyant" (quaint choice of words) energy bathes the earth that whatever you experience at this time makes a deep impression on the psyche, hence it is profitable to be engaged in a spiritual program at this time. His biography is interesting. He grew up around Ramana Maharshi's Arunchala hill. Here's a link: http://www.dhyanapeetam.org/Childhood.asp I got on the reservation list for Mother Meera's USA tour for August, so I'll look forward to having her darshan. http://home.arcor.de/maatrix/dir/DirE.html And then Karunamayi is coming in April. http://www.karunamayi.org/HB-Home.html So if all goes well I can have the darshan of 4 saints this year Holy company is compared to placing a smoldering log next to a fiercely burning log, the one ignites the other Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Ramana Maharishi Quote/Role of a Guru/Ego
I have the "Talks with Ramana Maharshi" Book it's a great compilation of Ramana's teachings. Then I bought a little book of reminiscences by a devotee that fills in some time left out of the "Talks" book/ apparently even the monkeys in the forest around the ashram loved Ramana so much, they would come to him to settle their disputes between different groups of monkees. This devotee witnessed a fascinating event. Tamarind trees are considered unlucky to have on your property in India, but everyone wants and uses tamarind, so they've planted alot of the trees along public thoroughfares and in the area around the ashram a man protected the tamarinds from being consumed by the monkees by using a small catapult to shoot rocks at them. He tried to be careful, use small rocks and just shoo them, but one time he killed a young monkey, the "tribe" gathered it and lay it at the feet of Ramana, he was heard to quietly console them, explaining that it was an accident, sorry, but everyone has to die sometime, etc. The Vedanta bookstores have an extensive collection of his works, also Nisargadatta, Jean Klein, Balkasar, and many others.

[FairfieldLife] who is the guru?
Who is the Guru, after all? He who knows the state in which there is neither the world nor the thought of it, he is the Supreme Teacher. To find him means to reach the state in which imagination is no longer taken for reality, for truth, for what is. He is a realist in the highest sense of the term. He cannot and shall not come to terms with the mind and its delusions. He comes to take you to the real; don't expect him to do anything else. The Guru you have in mind, one who gives you information and instructions, is not the real Guru. The real Guru is he who knows the real, beyond the glamour of appearances. What exists for you does not exist for him. What you take for granted, he denies absolutely. He wants you to see yourself as he sees you. Then you will not need a Guru to obey and follow, for you will obey and follow your own reality.

[FairfieldLife] After the Empire
Thom Hartmann's "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month
April 7, 2005
Review by Thom Hartmann
In 1976 -- long before American conservatives would claim that
Ronald Reagan's 1980s debt-driven massive military spending
"bankrupted" the Soviet Union -- French demographer and author
Emmanuel Todd wrote a best-selling book titled La Chute finale
(The Final Fall), predicting the imminent fall of the USSR. He
based his projection, in large part, on a careful study of the
increase in infant mortality in that empire, one of the leading
indicators of the health of a nation.
Time proved him right, and hindsight tells us that Reagan and Bush
had nothing whatever to do with the fall of the USSR, con claims
notwithstanding. It rotted from within, something that I witnessed
in the 1970s and 1980s visiting bot! h the USSR and several of its
captive states, and living a year in 1986-1987 within 30 miles of
Soviet-dominated East Germany and Czechoslovakia. Any 70s or 80s
visitor to the USSR or its vassal sates, in fact, could have come
to the conclusion that -- barring a world war -- it was an empire
about to expire, and the CIA and others in the American, European,
Israeli, and Japanese intelligence services had been saying the
same thing since, in some cases the 1960s.
Yet it was Emmanuel Todd who captured Europe's attention by
explicitly saying that the Soviet Emperor had no clothes - and
doing so in a way that was widely discussed across Europe. Thus,
when my best friend and former business partner Jerry Schneiderman
and I found ourselves in Budapest in early November, 1989, the
week before the Berlin Wall fell, as East German refugees were
streaming into the country and the Soviets seemed helpless to stop
it, we discovered that the rea! ction of the Hungarian shopkeepers
and bartenders we talked with was a resigned shrug: "We knew it
was coming. Everybody knew it was coming." Other than, of course,
the average American.
Now comes Emmanuel Todd to predict the fall of another empire:
America.
In Apres l'empire ("After The Empire"), a runaway bestseller
across Europe and in Japan, Todd points out that many of the same
demographic and historic indicators that led him to boldly predict
the looming collapse of the Soviet system can now -- with some
variations that are even more alarming -- be applied to the United
States.
Every American should read this book. First, we must read it to
understand how Europe, Russia, China, and Japan (among others)
view us. Second, we must read it because its logic, facts,
statistics, and conclusions are unassailable.
The main thesis of Todd's book is that ! America is posturing,
playing the role of the leader of the "free world" and head of the
new American Empire, when, in fact, we are militarily,
economically, and morally bankrupt -- and the rest of the world
knows it. In fact, he suggests, much of the posturing is for the
consumption of the domestic American audience, as the rest of the
world (with the exception of a few dependent Third World nations)
knows we're already in decline and perhaps even ready to implode.
Economically, twenty-five years of conservative Reaganomics --
"free trade" elevated to a virtual religion (including complicity
by Clinton in signing GATT/WTO and NAFTA) -- and the massive
budget and trade deficits that have resulted from this, have
turned the United States from an independent manufacturing
powerhouse and the world's leading creditor into a bankrupt nation
with little manufacturing capacity left, dependent on other
nations for the imports that maintain o! ur unsustainable standard
of living. The result is that the US "has become the center of a
system in which its number one job is to consume rather than
produce."
"If the United States has greatly declined in relative terms as an
economic power," writes Todd, "it has nevertheless succeed in
massively increasing its ability to siphon off wealth from the
world economy. Objectively speaking, America has become a
predator; ... [and] is going to have to fight politically and
militarily in order to sustain the hegemony that has become
indispensable for maintaining its standard of living."
In his concluding chapter, Todd writes, "The United States is
unable to live on its own economic activity and must be subsidized
to maintain its level of consumption -- at its present cruising
speed that subsidy amounts to 1.4 billion dollars per day."
Referring to the "bizarre behavior" of the Bush administration's
America, Todd asks the q! uestion -- in italics for emphasis -- "How
does one deal with a superpower that is economically dependent but
also politically useless?"
In "The Fragility of Tribute" chapter, Todd suggests the world
won't -- or can't -- long continue to support our "parasitic"
lifestyle by loaning us money to sell us goods, while we export
our manufacturing industries and hollow out our internal
productivity. "The most likely scenario" he sees as a result of
this "is a stock market crash large
[FairfieldLife] A James Gilliland post re: off-world beings
If you were to meet an off world visitor, what would you ask them? In a deep meditation on day I had the privilege of a telepathic communication with an off worlder known as Blaji. She is over a million years ahead of us in the time flow as we know it. Here is how the conversation went. The first question I asked is what level they were coming from? They told me they bridge the 5th and 6th dimensions. Then she said we are actually on a ship just above the Sanctuary. I asked how this was possible? She said we are interdimensional time travelers. Our spirituality and technology are one. To converge from a physical being to a light principle and undergo the same process on our ships as they transform into a light principle you must have a strong spiritual understanding or you will loose your mind. You have to operate consciously on many levels, some nonphysical and not be afraid of loosing physicality and the personality self. No attachment to limited identities. When you understand this you will also understand creation, the continuity and connectiveness of life. You are much more than a personality and a body. You are an interdimensional being existing on a vibrational continuum. Through the other less dense spiritual bodies is how we can communicate. I told her I understand, we must rise to the occasion, get beyond our physical and personalities to have meaningful conversations. The hard part is bringing it back to the physical with clarity. I asked her several questions already knowing the answer but wanted to hear it straight from her. The first question was how do you perceive Earth humanity? She said as very primitive, with a very aggressive selfish and warlike leadership. A civilization bent on destroying itself and the very platform for life. Your civilization is much like our far distant past which we have transcended. In fact we are your most ancient ancestors. We see you as a part of creation that needs help, inspiration and guidance. We serve The Creator by serving its creation, helping it to evolve. We cannot interfere in choice and free will. Wisdom is gained through experience and we cannot take your creations and the wisdom that come from them away from you. We can only inspire you to make better choices, take actions that won't have harmful reactions. We can only work with those who choose to be open to the guidance and inspiration, those who initiate it through prayer and meditation. Not all guidance is coming from Angels and Masters which most of humanity is conditioned to believe. I then asked her why she would not beam up those who continue to act in an aggressive and harmful manner. Take them to a primitive planet with lots of predators to reflect back to them their own predatory nature? She said on one level this is a good idea, it has been offered on the table at the consortium. On our level it is not allowable. This behavior needs to be quarantined, why infect another planet or the rest of the universe. Your planet is under quarantine for this very reason. You cannot bring the aggressive warlike behavior into space. This is why so many of your military projects go up in flames or explode after launch. Those billions of dollars would best be spent on humanitarian efforts, feeding and housing the poor. I asked her how she feels about the militaries aggressive stance towards all off world visitors. Surely you could destroy everything they send to do harm. She said one of our ships could deactivate and destroy all the military bases on the Earth yet this would be an aggressive act and we are not aggressive. We take the high road. There are others who are not so non aggressive and understanding. Our very presence keeps them in check. In the interest of national security it would be wise for your governments to form an alliance with the non aggressive, spiritually and technologically advanced off worlders. They are the ones with the power of creation, the true protectors and can offer a defense that far surpasses any other offerings. The only catch is the Earth humanity much choose universal peace. Most of humanity desires peace yet they must hold their leadership to the same desire. Profit and greed at the expense of humanity and the environment is the manifesting force behind present day leadership on Earth. When this changes you will see an end to war, disease, poverty and crime as well as the pollution and destruction of the environment. We have transcended all of this and can assist Earth humanity to do as well. We can only inspire and guide. In some cases we can protect those who have aligned with us in service to humanity and the Earth. The collective consciousness of Earth must choose to live according to the universal principles and understandings necessary for a healthy society and environment. These are the understandings that have been brought to every culture through many masters which eventuall
