After my recent reading of
"The Creature from Jekyll Island" and relating our
current society to three classic novels, Brave New World by Aldous
Huxley, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and 1984 by George Orwell.
This article is basically a rant, so if you are not interested
in my general opinions about the economy and society, don't read
it, which should save you some time.
I grew up believing it is "better
dead than red." Little did I know that the Fabian society
had infiltrated the US psyche since the early 1900s. They have
slowly been adding die to the laundry, what was once a white
shirt, slowly turned pink, and now I look in the mirror it is
RED. Now that I live in "The Communist United States of
America" and not dead, what does one do? I am not looking
forward to the "Bailout" of the US banking system (you
can place me in the quick deflation causing banks to fail, which
may not become public knowledge, followed by hyperinflation of
the Federal Reserve printing excessive fiat to bail out the banks
camp, which resembles more like a bunker). I can't help myself
thinking "I see bankrupt people but they do not know they
are bankrupt."
Lately with all the government
figures, the talking heads on bubblevision, I keep thinking about
a book report that I did in high-school contrasting Brave New
World, Fahrenheit 451, and 1984. Now I can see evidence of all
three in our society. I have not read these books for over 20
years so I am writing from memory, so please forgive any inaccuracies.
In Brave New World, people
took drugs, like SOMA, to make themselves feel good (crack, crank,
smack, Prozac, Paxil, Ritalin, or the latest designer pick me
up as advertised on TV), the state took care of the children
(outside family child care is the rule, since both parents have
to work, sometimes each multiple jobs, schools become more of
a daycare center than education establishment), sex was mandated
in society (turn on you television), society was controlled by
a select few unelected leaders (the Fabians). However, society
is not the nice uniformed cheery place as depicted in the book,
it is a war-torn, poverty-stricken, morally corrupt society that
is accelerating into decay.
In Fahrenheit 451, books were
outlawed and burned (some books are burned today, some are banned
from being printed, but most people do not read them anymore),
limited or sub par education (search the web and see how our
education system has been decaying), TV walls for entertainment
became mandatory to distract and program the populace (check
out my new 60 inch HD plasma, actually I don't own one, but if
you gave me one I would not turn it down, and then I would have
one and you could check it out), the wealth in the US was astonishing
and outsiders all wanted a part of it (immigrants still swim
the Rio Grande to come into the US as Asia still sells us anything
we want to buy), the US was at war to keep the outsiders out.
(We are at war to keep the terrorist out, technically according
to our leaders.)
In the book 1984 the newspeak
slogans were:
War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance
is Strength
These slogans hit home don't
they. I would like to add a few of my own:
Fiat is Money Debt is Wealth Ignorance
is Knowledge
The book's primary premise
was the destruction of trust between all citizens (allow no privacy,
encourage turning in fellow citizens for questioning the authorities,
do Patriot Acts 1 and 2 ring a bell), perpetual wars (started,
take that one off our to-do list), and total control of information.
This last one has been greatly helped and hindered by electronic
data. Bubblevision promoting government agenda, all government
statistics should be questioned, however few people do. The Information
Resistance comprised of contrarians, gold bugs, libertarians,
and conspiracy theorists keep them honest on the internet but
their numbers are small. I am afraid that in the later
stages of the next great depression that the Information Resistance
will be persecuted as enemies of the state. Expect new slogans
to be added:
Gold Bugs are Hoarders Speculators are Profiteers
Draft is Volunteering
What originally awakened me
from the matrix that we live in, was the book "How the Scottish
Created the Modern World." If you follow the Scottish Enlightenment
movement (which gave birth to Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations,"
The Constitution, the United States, and many others), they would
suggest that the downfall started in the 1880's with the adoption
of Bismarck's philosophies being incorporated within the US education
system. "The state needs to protect and provide an even
playing field for the masses." Bismarck found this philosophy
conducive to keeping the population under control.
I am pissed off that our production
base is being destroyed and the size of the government (transfer
the jobs from the private sector to the public sector through
regulations, taxes, and other shenanigans). I am pissed off at
peoples' feelings of entitlement. (The government owes me this
or that, make the businesses pay for my stupidity.) I am frustrated
that the power hungry Fabian's have manage to set up the United
States. (I fear that the constitution will be totally discarded.)
I am in the X generation, with
a disabled child, who will never be able to take care of herself.
I am pissed off that I have to pay so much for Social Security,
which I fully expect to be completely defunct when it is my time
to retire. I do not like this Ponzi scheme anyways, but I am
FORCED by my government to pay into it. I would rather take that
15% of my salary and put it away in honest money (gold) for my
child. I hold most of the Baby Boomer Generation in contempt
for their selfish ways that have exacerbated this problem and
who will prevent the application of any solution. (Baby Boomers
of the Information Resistance are exempted from my contempt.)
Everyone knows that the Social Security system is in trouble
but no politician wants to apply the tough love needed to fix
it. (The benefits must be cut or eliminated.) I always find it
humorous (in a sick way) to think that the 13 colonies decided
to rebel because of a 3% tax. (If I was promised a 3% total tax
I would kiss them.)
Well, I think we live in interesting
times. It is a shame that I have to work for a living instead
of following and documenting all the events that are happening.
We all have a front row seat at one of the biggest economic catastrophes
coming our way.
Got to go, I hear the black
helicopters coming.
