Despite everything, there is hope.

The economic meltdown continues unabated. The stock market is up a bit, for now. Some are actually wondering out loud whether bottom has been reached. Not likely. Look for the market to begin testing new lows before long as the effects of massive economic unraveling begin to be reported in January.

Hopes will be raised by the new administration taking power, but the underlying realities are dismal. The best that can be hoped for is the “slow burn” scenario foreseen by Catherine Austin Fitts. Things can perhaps be patched and pumped for a time, but nothing can stop the transformation now sweeping through our society and culture. The end-game will likely include the destruction of our currency, and with it the ability to import foreign goods.

As I’ve mentioned previously, this turbulent period represents a fundamental paradigm shift, and such shifts don’t come easily or occur quietly.

The dark cabal that rules the planet initiated the economic meltdown intentionally, partly as a “pump n dump” scheme to further concentrate wealth in their pockets, and partly to further their long-range plans for enslaving the human race more completely. It’s probably no coincidence that the current government intervention in banking and private corporations looks a lot like Hitler’s model of National Socialism that the NAZI acronym was derived from.

Subprime mortgages were blamed for the collapse, but of course this is but a ruse; All subprime loans could have been completely paid off for less than the total spent thus far on the bankster bailout. Of course, this would have benefited ordinary citizens as opposed to the ultra-rich and powerful, and that would be unthinkable. Of course, then we wouldn't have a diversion to blame in order to cover the massive fraud that actually took place.

Adjusting to Paradigm Shift

For starters, it’s helpful to confront the dark reality of the waning paradigm; America has been the leader of a very Evil Empire.

Speaking the truth on this subject can be extremely controversial and unpopular, as witnessed by the reaction to Obama’s pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright for daring to utter these words:

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

Rev. Wright’s litany of America’s “sins” might be considered politically charged, given the context of black power politics, but the essential truth of his statements is difficult to challenge.

The dark reality goes far beyond this, however. The bitter truth is that our economic prosperity has been supported by the blood and suffering of less fortunate souls around the globe. We enjoy low prices at Walmart due to the contributions by slave laborers in China, and this has been fairly well known for some time. Not getting much media attention are the 1.5 million men, women and children killed by our intervention in Iraq since 1991. Add to this the millions afflicted elsewhere by the many instances of intervention to install brutal regimes in support of American interests, not to mention the many destructive wars fought for economic reasons.

As Catherine Austin Fitts frequently asserts, it takes the military might of an empire to back our economic system. A bit radical, you think? How else to explain how we have managed to run a massive trade deficit for decades without our credit being cut off? Foreign governments accept our I.O.U.s in the form of Treasury Bonds, and hold them even as the value inevitably declines. The container ships full of Chinese goods are essentially put on the national credit card, as are the tankers full of oil. In what version of reality will creditors continue to extend credit far beyond any realistic hope of repayment? Only in the realm of the Dark Empire, and holding guns to the heads of the creditors does appear to help in this regard.

Every so often, an upstart group somewhere will have the audacity to challenge the Evil Empire by taking exception to the repressive system foisted upon them, but that’s why we have our military deployed around the globe. Chile, Guatemala, Panama, and Iran are but a few examples. Iran backfired on us, of course, which segues into the next point…

Things are not always as they seem (or reported by the MSM)

The Evil Empire is supported by a massive propaganda machine, which helps maintain the delusion that America stands for truth, justice, and a general force for good in the world. Control of the propaganda is maintained on several levels; many mainstream journalists actually are paid retainers by the PTB to plant articles and books that support the “establishment” position on various topics.

A classic example is found in the JFK assassination controversy. While virtually no serious researchers support the Warren Commission’s “magic bullet” lone assassin theory, mainstream journalists and politicians have all paid lip service to the establishment line. It seems almost as if they must enter a rite of initiation in order to rise to a certain level of respectability and recognition in their field. Debunkers, such as Gerald Posner, have funding and/or influence traceable to suspect sources. Vincent Bugliosi recently published a JFK debunking book replete with shoddy and questionable research, for which he was reportedly paid $1.5 million. Paid by whom? This pattern has repeated in the area of UFO and 9/11 investigation.

The propagandists also work to vilify our supposed “enemies”, so Americans can feel good while our bombs are destroying homes and lives around the planet.

Offered here is a dramatic example of the disconnect between reality and what is reported by the MSM: Think of several countries that are depicted as “evil” and in need of “regime change”. Then read the following speech excerpt, and imagine that it could have been part of a sermon in your neighborhood church:

"The Almighty created the universe for human beings and human beings for Himself.

He created every human being with the ability to reach the heights of perfection. He called on man to make every effort to live a good life in this world and to work to achieve his everlasting life.

On this difficult and challenging journey of man from dust to the divine, He did not leave humanity to its own devices. He chose from those He created the most excellent as His Prophets to guide humanity.

All Prophets called for the worship of God, for love and brotherhood, for the establishment of justice and for love in human society. Jesus, the Son of Mary, is the standard-bearer of justice, of love for our fellow human beings, of the fight against tyranny, discrimination and injustice.

All the problems that have bedeviled humanity throughout the ages came about because humanity followed an evil path and disregarded the message of the Prophets.

Now as human society faces a myriad of problems and a succession of complex crises, the root causes can be found in humanity's rejection of that message, in particular the indifference of some governments and powers towards the teachings of the divine Prophets, especially those of Jesus Christ.

The crises in society, the family, morality, politics, security and the economy which have made life hard for humanity and continue to put great pressure on all nations have come about because the Prophets have been forgotten, the Almighty has been forgotten and some leaders are estranged from God.

If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly He would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers.

If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly He would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over.

If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly He would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime.

The solution to today's problems is a return to the call of the divine Prophets. The solution to these crises is to follow the Prophets - they were sent by the Almighty for the good of humanity.

Today, the general will of nations is calling for fundamental change. This is now taking place. Demands for change, demands for transformation, demands for a return to human values are fast becoming the foremost demands of the nations of the world.

The response to these demands must be real and true. The prerequisite to this change is a change in goals, intentions and directions. If tyrannical goals are repackaged in an attractive and deceptive package and imposed on nations again, the people, awakened, will stand up against them.

Fortunately, today, as crises and despair multiply, a wave of hope is gathering momentum. Hope for a brighter future and hope for the establishment of justice, hope for real peace, hope for finding virtuous and pious rulers who love the people and want to serve them – and this is what the Almighty has promised."

OK, here is the source of this speech: Iranian President Amadinajad in his “Christmas Address” to the British People. What's that? Say it didn’t run in your newspaper? The talking heads on Fox didn’t show clips of the speech? How can this be? The press covered it in other parts of the globe.

I saw a few stories mentioning the speech, along with adjectives like “disgusting” and “insulting”, but with no actual copy included. Can’t have that; guess that wouldn’t support the establishment line that Iran is led by a crazed warmonger who is a threat to world peace. Even worse: What if some of his words actually make sense? Can we allow people to be subjected to this? Can people be entrusted with raw data and be allowed to do their own critical thinking?
