I believe that a bear market is more than a series of crashing equity prices as they follow new downtrends. The change is a reflection of the social mood swinging from optimism to pessimism, from forthright to apathetic, from construction to destruction, and ultimately from morality to degredation. These sequential changes in the social mood result in the uprisings and wars that ultimately destroy civilizations.

Below is an excerpt from this week's International Forecaster which depicts one author's belief of the changes occuring in American society. Changes which we have all experienced before many times throughout history. At present, though we all recognize what is happening in our country, few of us rebel against the system. I believe we are now in the stage of apathy leading towards destruction. However when we do rise up, it will be much too late. The 'enemy from within' will have been armed with far too much power. I believe that in the end, this bear will run its course to the extinction of our once Great Society..

Brave New World..

Excerpt from International Forecaster -

We hope you enjoyed the latest phony orange terrorist alert. George and the neocons have one every time bad news is near. The spate of ugly reports last week qualify. The Dow obviously agreed down some 300 points, half of which occurred before the bad news, which indicates that those in the know knew ahead of time.

Everything is phony in our society today. We have the PPT and the Fed via the bullion banks and brokerage houses rigging gold and silver prices, currencies, interest rates, stock indexes, commodity prices and elections. It leaves you with little belief in anything, with our government ranked number one on the hit parade. It is all part of psywar conditioning. Your papers please, you must answer our questions or you are automatically guilty. You will cooperate. The formulated agenda is that everything including intelligence is being manipulated and that is because they, the elitists, know best what is good for you. Where you are born, live, educated and what you will peruse as a career. Whether you will be allowed to breed and with whom or perhaps you will be designated to be a homosexual. After having a family you will be told where to live and work. Your wife may live and work in another city and your children will attend a government school in a third city. Government will rear your children, etc. etc. That is the brave new Orwellian world the elitists have in store for you, your children and your grandchildren.

Homeland Security is not to defend and protect America and its citizens. It is a Fatherland Security to protect the fascist state from the people. The periodic threats planned and identified by Fatherland Security are about to become more numerous and finally the public is beginning to get suspicious. They are finally realizing that alerts are to divert attention from other negative events or issues. The dimwits in our society, who cannot think beyond their noses, will of course welcome a red alert, martial law and no elections. They will welcome and covet our government’s protection from those phantom monsters.

Our controlled media, government, Wall Street, big business, bankers and the likes of propaganda specialist, like Crapvision, will keep the public bamboozled, as our politicians will swear it is true. 50% of our politicians are bought and paid for, what do you expect. They can be counted on to be witnesses at your firing squad. It is like all those politicians representing Arizona citizens who back illegal immigration when 80% of their constituents are against it. They do not ever represent you, they represent themselves, re-election, feeding at the public trough and special elitist interests. They go along with the program because they have no decency.

As alerts increase we will see more and more the presence of uniformed soldiers and swat teams in black garb, all with automatic assault weapons. This is part of the occupational presence that you will be conditioned for. Few will figure out they cannot stop bombs and that their presence is there to control and suppress the people. This is the acceptance of a police state. Soon it becomes normal. Due to their presence, you will no longer need your personal weapons, so you will be directed by executive order to relinquish them to the state, and if you do not and you are discovered with them in your possession, you will be shot. It is all conditioning for the New World Order. If you do not think we are headed in this direction, you are mistaken. This is to be our brave new world and anyone who does not cooperate will be silenced one way or another.

Sasquatch,

Good bear food.

It could be better if those bear commanders can nail a date for "The End".

otherwise, .. keep waiting for the KarBoom..... then, there is not much difference as John Maynard Keynes said: "In the long run we are all dead."


Rite side: Keynes

yep

More Brave New World from Bob Chapman this Week..


"George W. Bush has to be the most deceitful politician in history. In September, he unveils his “New Freedom Initiative.” This is straight out of Orwell or a horror movie. It proposes to screen every American, including you, for mental illness. To this end, he has established a New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, ostensibly to study the nation’s mental health delivery service. The staff, of course, is comprised of America’s legal drug dealers, who will be the main beneficiaries of the invasion of privacy. He has even included our children. Now in your guts you know he is nuts. Schools will do the screening. The teachers are not for the most part qualified to teach, how can they possibly determine if your little June or Johnny is truly insane? Then there are the medications, millions of them. At the top of the list is Ritalin and anti-depressants. As we reported before when discussing this, he is using the Texas Medication Algorithm Project, or TMAP, as the model medication treatment plan that “illustrates an evidence-based practice that results in better consumer outcomes.” The program enriches drug companies and allows government to take people like us and put us into mental institutions to shut us up. This is all modeled on the Soviet system and parts of the Nazi protocols. People like us, hard cases, will be lobotomized and then liquidated. This is a political/pharmaceutical alliance to promote the use of newer, more expensive anti-psychotics and anti-depressants. Private insurers would then be forced to pick up the costs, which will be passed on to you in the form of higher premiums. Needless to say, all those involved are heavy contributors to the Bush campaign. Essentially this amounts to class warfare, a homicidal dream by fruit loops in the White House. This is another cog in the wheel of deliberate influential destruction of the American people. It is all about control and profits. At all costs, we have to get these lunatics out of the White House. Vote independent and often."

The infrastructure is being put in place for whoever becomes the top administrator...Bush and friends are hired hands...

Good point, Hyper. Actually I can't remember the last time Americans had a say in who would be nominated for either party. Both Bush and Kerry are rich, they are likely part of the elitist group that Chapman writes about. In any event since I don't want either and had no say in who would run, my country is no longer a Democracy..

And large majorities still oppose illegal immigration in every poll, from
everywhere, taken on the matter, even when the "what if it raises the
cost of a Blubberburger SuperSize feed" line is thrown it. Not that the
'exploding cost of everything if we don't let the criminal Third-Worlders
waltz in' has much validity.

Sasquatch - unbelievable. copied and forwarded that to every person I know on the planet.

Yes, it begins with drugs which advance to mind control and implanted devices for total invasion and control. Crapvision will advance from stock reporting to war commentary. We will be unaware of the psychic messages emitted from our television sets, sending us subliminal messages. In our drug-induced zombie state, we will all be HAPPY, content and placid. I think its more cost effective than building robots, don't you? We'll lock up and destroy all who fight the Brave New World, for we will not tolerate their genes in our new pool of serenity..

Just saw the Manchurian candidate a couple of days ago. It's a complete reworking of the original screenplay, updated for modern concerns. Very apropos in these times. Mind control is a hot topic. It's been studied for several decades by the ptb and in it's most benign form has kept Madison Avenue going. It should prove to be a boondoggle for Wall Street pharma if the pols have their way.

Labelling people who are suspicious of govt and corporations as conspiracy theorists is a first step to pathologizing the most adept thinkers and the most emotionally healthy in a population. These individuals are easily spotted in the primary grades. Ahh...Don't you just love big bother.

What we are witnessing is not paranoia; it is the beginning of a secret police. If we do not get the Patriot Acts reversed, Americans will become subjects of the state..

Excerpts -

"Last week we reported that FBI field officers have spent months canvassing their communities for potential troublemakers. They have a list of potential troublemakers and are projecting the possibility of violent disruptive acts. Of course, it is all about intimidation. Stifling protest and chilling free speech are only part of what the lawmen are now doing. It looks like a revisit to J. Edgar Hoover’s Cointepro-program. If you are approached, immediately call your attorney and if you do not have one get one. Be courteous but do not answer questions, do not let them into your home or apartment and do not cooperate in any way. You have to understand that under the Patriot Acts they may well have already tapped your phone and broken into your domicile and legally copied your records already. They also probably have gone through your mail, bank and brokerage accounts and also probably probed your neighbors. If confronted by FBI agents go outside your home, ask for identification, take it in hand and copy everything on their ID. Either that or read the information into a tape recorder. Better yet, video tape the event if you can. Then take their cards and tell them your attorney will be in touch with them for an appointment. These procedures seriously threaten our freedom. We are now only one step away from tyranny."

"There are 518,739 Gulf War Veterans on medical disability since 1991 with only 7,035 reported wounded in Iraq in that same 14-year period. Eight of twenty men who served in one unit in the 2003 US military offensive in Iraq now have malignancies. That means 40% of the soldiers in that unit have developed malignancies in just 16 months. The only way they could have gotten cancer is from depleted uranium."
