America - the land of lost opportunities

I read an guest post on a site that I read almost daily, Rick Ackermans "Rick's Picks". Rick is an observant fellow, not afraid to let others post their thoughts, and this one was a doozey. The fellow that wrote the article is a long time trader in the options market, and feels that Americans are not cynical enough. You are reading a blog from one cynical guy!

What he lays out is the select enforcement of laws in the U.S. Not surprising to me, as I realized that about 4 years ago. He was way ahead of me in seeing it 20 years ago. He really became in tune with those thoughts when he started reading Catherine Austin Fits' blog, "The Solari Report" about 5 years ago.

The basic gist of both Catherine's site and the guest blogger is that this situation we are in at present in the U.S. is a calculated, allowed and inspired plan by a few select people in the U.S. Now, I am not a conspiracy nut, nor do I tread lightly on what I think is the best formed government in the world. The actions by the government and the conglomerates over the past years, and by others accounts decades, is totally corrupt and against the future well being of the citizens of the U.S.

Both talk of a "tapeworm" within the system, which makes the host ( The citizens of the U.S.) crave items, greed, toys that numb reality and immorality to feed the tape worm. If the host is happy with the consumption of the intake, then the tapeworm wins, and the host looses.

For example:

1) Over extension of credit, which is bad for the consumer, good for the banks and credit card companies.

2) Buying unneeded items - the Iphone, sony play stations, etc that allows one to escape reality in the wireless world.

3) Drugs, a loosing war that has been going on for decades - both financed and fought against by the government.

4) Immorality of relationships, marriage and leadership in all walks of life - church, government and business

All induced by the covert powers within the government and business. A conspiracy- I do not know how they could conspire in a meeting hall, a group, or whatever. It is run by whom or by what, I do not know.

All the banks that have bought brokerage houses (Wachovia, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America) are all doing insider trading and front running their customers. With government acceptance of the practice.

Over extension of risk by the banks , brokerage houses, insurance companies - financed largely by the government and hedge funds.

From leaving the political landscape of politics , to the boardrooms of corporate America, our representatives rotate between the two. Look it up, and you will be surprised (unless you are really on top of this!) at how many senators, congressmen and other Secretaries of different agencies do the switch back and forth for many a year. All with the statement of service to the people. Yeah, about that, as that individual is accumulating millions at the expense of the population.

I truly see a robbery of the wealth of the middle class. We are going down a slope that will make us in the U.S. (if it has not happened already) a two class system - those that have, and those that do not have. Those that do have are not going to let the system go a route that will take their wealth, it will be the middle class that pays the price for the new programs that are being put into place to control us as citizens. The middle class will loose any hope of wealth accumulation.

What to do?

I dropped out, left the U.S.A., and am presently in Central America.

I know of others that are trying to work within the system - for example - the Tea Party.

Others are just trying to make enough money to be in the wealth class vs. the middle class.

The answer - I do not know. This I do understand, if you are trying to change the system, it will be a long haul. I am with holding my support for the present policies by not participating - withholding my small amount of taxes that support this system. I am doing a "John Galt", if you will. I believe the best avenue of approach is to let the "tapeworm" feed only on itself, allow it to see how well it performs without the support of the host - You and me! If the system looses the ones the get over extended, buy things they really do not need, and face reality vs getting lost in games or applications, it surely will collapse and revert back to a better following of the Constitution

Differing opinions and comments are welcome.

Cheers for now.
