A great essay by George Ure

Although I'm skeptical of George's 'predictive linguistics', I think he and Alex Jones have the economic/political situation sorted out pretty well.

Here's his essay:

G-20 Stress

In what seems almost like a replay of the 'battle of Seattle' the scene of the present G-20 meetings in Pittsburgh is not exactly a glowing example of peaceful protest nor restrained response as 20-odd people have been arrested so far at the G-20. The usual tactics on both sides - running small groups of anarchists versus police with tear gas and rubber bullets.

From an historic perspective, these are interesting times to be sure: The US, founded on principles of freedom has seen the ascendancy of the non-human corporate persona which has come to dominate not only the conduct of governance through huge lobby and special interest groups that essentially run public policy via their sway, but at the same time has become blinded to the evolution of the corporate Super Class by corporate media which seems intent on not discussing the Up/Down issues and casts it universally as either economic or contained within a childish right/left framework.

Thus, the G-20 may be thought of more accurately as a corporate global governance conference than world leaders meeting to address basic human needs. It's against this background that the US is being dethroned as the lone global super power amidst headlines like "US May Face 'Armageddon' If China, Japan Don't Buy Debt."

Filling some of the predictive linguistic expectations out of the web bot project, we can't help but notice the deployment of 'acoustic weapons on US soil' - the devices which once turned on cause excruciating pain. That so-called 'non-lethal' weapons may have long term health consequences doesn't seem to much concern authorities although they are getting plenty of attention among protesters and those concerned with maintenance of free speech.

My personal take on the danger of non-lethal weapons is that they provide a 'migration path' (to use the marketing term) which provides the increasing intertwined military/police complex on American soil a way to edge soldiers who would never begin use of lethal force against U.S. citizens a way to slowly work up to it.

The use of 'migration pathing' is also clear as the New World Order of the Bush Era is being rolled out under the context of 'maintain global economic order'. Reuters has a pretty good piece on how the "New world economic order takes shape at the G20."

We can clearly see how global super government will eventually steal not only American autonomy, but will begin to take on a life of its own through the global public purse, eventually moving toward global taxes in order to fund hugely profitable globalist pet projects in the area of environmental, food production and so forth.

The use (consciously or otherwise) Hegelian dialectic - create a terrible problem and then offer the prepackaged 'right' solution - allows the corporate globalist gang to pocket wealth from scams like derivatives, roll the crisis over onto the public through financial collapse, and stick the public with the bill while those at the top skate.

While the U.S. Supreme Court recently indicated that it is open to an even further expansion of corporate/special interest use of money to buy government policy favorable to corporate/special interest objectives, American families are kept off-balance by a war in Afghanistan (where we sadly lost five more on our soldiers overnight) and by a 'war on terror' punctuated by period arrests and claims about web use to find bomb supplies.

You might want to print out this article from this morning's Washington post, by the way, since in the linguistics we are headed toward some kind of control/licensure/restrictions on the internet in 2010. All in the name of keeping us safe, don'tcha know.

All of which is not to pass judgment on whether the stew of current events is either good or bad; it's just what it is to the aware observer - the once Constitutional governance of America being usurped/replaced by corporate mastery of public policy which allows the very greediest of humans to hide their wealth and abuses behind the corporate veil on the pretext that it's really what's best for all of us; and they know what's best for us since they are so much better than us commoners.

Like royalty that first Americans first fled, then defeated, the corporate masters have gone global in scope and are arranging the next steps of consolidated global governance in Pittsburgh.

Way back when, I won a regional SDX award for a story about how at the height of the Cold War there was an active corporate nuclear trade involving the Soviet Union and the West. In that report I noted that one could take the Cold War as a sham since there was growing nuclear trade between the sides.

To update that perspective, I similarly see governments following a corporate lead; doing 'roll-ups' of countries under regional banners like the European Union and eventually a North American Union. If, along the way, we have to suffer through a collapse of the economy to hobble America, then I guess that's what will be supplied.

If you thought America had lost control of its supposed representatives in Washington, who didn't return phone calls or respond to voter demands in the 'too big to fail' scam, you ain't seen nothing yet. Just think what a fine world we'll have when there's another layer of government over America run by the corporate proxies. Fun world, huh?

The world is waking up - and well meaning, peace & freedom loving humans are continuing to connect on the net and a new kind of consciousness is arising. By oh, next summer or so, we may be seeing a fair bit of confrontation between regular humans and corporate humans. Should be interesting, to say the least. Which is why the FCC's 'net neutrality' will have to be undermined by the PowersThatBe. Can't have a globally connecting mind questioning those who a busily seizing the reins and profits for themselves and their owners, can we?

If you have taken your morning double-dose of cynicism pills, you might be tempted to speculate that the talk of 'net neutrality' is nothing more than another fund raising scheme hatched by the democons and republicorps to bulk up their coffers before 'hoodwink' time (elections) roll around again. Trust you read Richard Doman's piece this week: "Republicans back off net neutrality gambit"?
