Are we all brainwashed into believing ‘free market’ capitalism (or at least what we refer to as such) inevitable?

The producers will probably up the funds goal higher from the current $2,000.

Budgets are expanding on PMF with the budget for “Alex in Wonderland” (TRUTH) now set at $20,000 with over $16,000 in shares reserved.

[Chaostheorien] Behind the Wheel w/ Catherine Austin Fitts

August 29th, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary: Note that many of the Koch Party members rallying around Glenn Beck this weekend will support an increase in military spend and occupations. As a leading neo-conservative, Rupert Murdoch will be pushing for as many wars as possible.

“The central banking-warfare investment model” is really a control model, through which a small group of people can control the most resources on the most profitable basis. Essentially what happens is: Central banks print money and then the military makes sure that other parties accept it and that the financial system continues to have liquidity. The question many people ask with regards to a fiat currency, which is a paper currency, is: Why would anybody take paper, which has no value? They take the paper, because it’s part of the enforcement and military supervision, if you will, of the network that is printing the money. The system has created a fantastically profitable way of controlling large populations and access to resources very cheaply.

Let’s say for a second that Mr. Global is in charge of “the central banking-warfare investment model”: Mr. Global prints money and then people take that paper and give him in essence what he needs to buy up and control the national resources. The population is dependent on his paper and then he controls all the real things. Also through the military, he can steal whatever he wants. And organized crime is a very important component as well, because it can be expansive to drop an army and to occupy a place. If he can take over a place and buy that place with the place’s own money, it’s much more efficient, and that’s where the drug business traditionally comes in. It’s basically part of a model for controlling a territory with huge resources in the cheapest way possible.

China: Coal Price and Clean Energy

August 29th, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary: China looks like it is deploying a Bruce Lee energy policy. With America’s overwhelming military force and spend in the Middle East securing oil reserves and the world community apparently behind or unconcerned about this frequent recourse to force, it really makes zero sense to a nation like China to devise energy policies that would see it constantly confront the angry elephant. With a goal established, it will be very interesting to see whether or not China can achieve this green energy dominance and what sort of innovation (if any) emerges.

Beijing aims to cut carbon intensity as much as 45 percent from 2005 levels by 2020 and increase the share of renewables to 15 percent of primary energy consumption. That is nearly double the current ratio and would make the country a leader in green energy manufacturing and use.
