 “Taking Back to Another Age”

Take yourself back to the “Archaic Age” (750BC-480BC) – wherein we can find a very familiar story which matches our own today and especially the influence of the ridiculous wealthy in the world.

This group includes multiple Americans: The Walton Family (Wal-Mart/Sam’s); The Koch Family (Pipelines/Chemicals/Forests); The Mars Family(think the Mars Bar); The Cox Family (Cable/Communications); The Pritzker Family (Hyatt/Industrial); The Cargill Family (Agribusiness); The Duncan Company (Energy/49K Pipelines); The Ziff Family (Hedge Funds); The Newhouse Family (Publications); The SC Johnson Family (Household products); The Hearst Family (Newspapers/Communications); The Bass Family (Oil); The Lauder Family (Cosmetics); The Bechtel Family (Engineering); The Stryker Family (Medical Devices); The Reyes Family (Overseas Foods/Beer);  The Fisher Family (GAP Retailer); The Marriott Family (Hotels/Catering).  (Note: This list includes the 15 wealthiest families in the world – less the drug lords; monarchies; dictators and others who fall into this group of people.)

In the worldly aspect there are 442+ Billionaires in the US. Altogether there are 1,426 Billionaires in the world at the beginning of 2013 – this small group control the world’s economy!  This is an Oligarchy thus we return the idea I’m following from the “Archaic Age” or also the Age of Homer.

In the age of Homer – there was a way to control the government without actually being involved – and this was by sponsoring a ‘Tyrant’ – one who is charismatic, does social good works – but is only at the beck and call of the wealthy sponsor or sponsors.

There is much more about this – but just putting forth that we might not be looking at near history – but old history in what is happening. Chaos does not serve well the very wealthy as they might become targets of opportunity. However, revolution also goes against their overall greed and desires. Thus what is that they’re after? Answer this and we’ll have a better handle on where all of this is going today. Remember even the most rabid terrorist leader (funder) understands that their real goals have little to do with the Qur’an or religious zealotry but more with a means to control, justify and otherwise muster hoards of followers to do their will, i.e. intellectually deficient slaves!

 Thus the apparent effect of all of this is to cause an appearance of Chaos which will want the population to turn to those who remain calm and have the resources to correct the situation with negotiation and compromise. Which in turn leads to more and more government programs and less and less individual initiatives. The wealthy cherish this situation as they sit and pull the puppet strings – having the insider information as to where to best place their resources in the market and who to groom next to take the place of their incumbent tool (fool). Thus for the past century the politics of the US have been slowly (quicker in some cases) molded to the needs of the wealthy and none others. In the age of Homer this indeed was the case for close to three centuries before war and famine changed the landscape to others more powerful. Yet, one must remember that it wasn’t until the American experiment that any nation actually had a part in choosing its collective political leader. Of course in America this lasted all of two Presidents until the MSM and dirty politics took over from the time of Jefferson until today.

The total value of the Oligarchy in the US took full force with the direct election of the Senators – making all elected politicians accountable to someone (or a group) who had the money to put them and keep them in office. Fraud at the polling places – fear mongering – physical intimidation – violation of any laws which do not assist their goals – and worst of all beguiling the decent citizens of the nation with their blatant abuses of power. This is not any different than one can find throughout history (written) where one man/woman has dominion over another. Give the people a hedonistic lifestyle – in their daily lives – ignore virtue – honesty – fair play – morals – and destroy at any cost innocence at the earliest age possible. i.e. the disruption of the family unit and the love and teaching which takes place within the home.

Food for thought for those who think – Hitler – and the others of his ilk then and now have anything new that they’re using as the root of their power and corruptions. Thus recycled, used up, frauds, liars, chests, baby killers, murderers, and others will continue to succeed and dominate what once was good and of virtue!

 “Taking Back”

Taking back what’s been lost

Terrible and horrible the cost;

 

Too late – too late is so said

That the Constitution is dead;

 

No longer able to fight today

For too long we’ve had delay;

 

Congress and the courts agree

Doing nothing better than to see;

 

Cherished hopes sadly are dead

Where the chronicles are read;

 

Terrible and horrible the cost

Taking back what’s been lost!
