You may have noticed the recent shortfall in the Living Word Christian Center's weekly tithe revenues. I must sadly claim responsibility, having decided to move our family prayers to a new house of worship at the American Cargo Ch*urch.

Henry Kissinger & the big 5

As I am sure many X Sama readers know, Henry Kissinger (the so-called 'clean' man of the Nixon administration), has had a small role in advising the Commander-in-Chief on the undeclared war in Iraq. He opinion is constantly sought in regards to matters of global importance and his reputation as a successful diplomat demonstrates how much he is trusted and admired by the global elite. I won't force you to read the full summary of the public record (on Wikipedia), but it is important to realize what the implication of Kissinger's invitation to the White House is:

*** George Bush is not stupid!!! ***

There, I said it. Most of us might outperform King George on an IQ test or the good ol' SATs, but he is far closer in tune with reality than the American public. There are those who could stop the war if it suited them, and Kissinger's advice goes a long way to provide reassurance.

Conclusion: do not underestimate politicians or the people who fund them. They are very capable of continuing in much the same fashion of hiding in plain sight and misdirecting the public. If there is one group of people who do not meet the expectations put upon them, it's the American people. With the significant defacto freedoms we still possess, we can still take apart the debt/war machine before it's too late. If you're proud to be an American, you CAN rise to the challenge.

Before I outline some suggestions for change, here are some choice quotes to fill you in on Kissinger's ideology:

• Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.^[45]

• Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.^[31]

• The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. ^[47]

• It [The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions. Just like Zishan says. ^[48]

• Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people; control money and you control the world.

• America doesn't have friends, America only has interests.

NOW, here are some difficult things you can do to make a real difference as an individual:

1. Create and control your own food supply. Investigate aquaponic gardening and other ways to grow a varied diet locally.

2. Diversify your portfolio with home energy production facilities, like solar panels or kinetic generators. In a time of crisis, you will be able to fall back on the steady income that energy can provide.

3. Practice confidence. It doesn't matter if your idol is Bruce Lee or Gandhi - you should always hold your head high and meet others with steady eyes. Tyrants only win when they can subdue you without violence. We didn't give Martin Luther King a holiday for nothing.

4. Anticipate inflation. Raise prices often and seek wealthy customers. Renegotiate contracts regularly and demand 10% pay raises per year. This strategy will result in less participation in the 'legal tender' economy.

5. Increase participation in the barter economy.

I hope that you think deeply on this subject and reach out to me with your questions.

Yo, I was in NAM

I just got back from my first tour in Nam. Not Viet-nam of course, but N.A.M., the National Association of Manufacturers, where industrial lobbyists are learning how to blog. One thing that really scares them is the idea that polluting and denying global warming
might one day be recognized as the crime that it is. Despite all the legal protections given by corporate entities, these rape-the-earth-and-retire-early types (REREs) are actually sweating the hushed whispers of formalizing inter-generational crimes. In the manufacturer's view, mis-information campaigns should enjoy their rights to free speech more than your children should enjoy rights to breathe or maintain body temperatures below 104 degrees. Read on about it here: stupid NAM blog entry.

I posted a comment, but since they are moderated, I'm enclosing my comment here for the public record. I'll notify NAM and give the author a chance to respond even if they decide my comment isn't right for the official NAM.ORG website.

X Sama's comment:

"Extremism is going mainstream," says the National Association of Manufacturers. It's sad to see so little thoughtful reflection in this blog post. 100% reactionary whining.

We are in the middle of a huge cultural shift - where what once seemed extreme will become the norm. Just as it's a crime to incite others to violence and murder, it should be a crime to incite violations of all individual rights - even if the effects won't be noticed for years.

Denying the causal link between greenhouse gas emissions and unprecedented temperature acceleration used to be cute, but it's time to think about how we are raising the next generation. How will they mature when adults are fighting so hard for willful ignorance and profiteering?

Note: NAM screen their comments, "to protect against malicious comments," so if they don't publish my comment, they will have officially slandered my as a malicious commenter!
