The Choose Yourself Era - Is Outsourcing Intelligence a Big Problem?

I think so.

Is this an example of anarcho-capitalism at work? That's a question I cannot answer. What I would say is this looks eerily similar to the dissolution of the state after the end of the Soviet Union.

The video and the articles below help to make this less CONFIDENTIAL. In other words... it allows you to see it with a pair of "choose yourself" glasses.

So this will have to do.

Imagine if people in the private sector have access to all or some of the stuff I've been talking about on this blog. How are they held accountable?

Can they use what is described here on whoever they want?

Below you'll find two videos about a company called Stratfor. (Also see here.) I'm sure a few people know about them in the financial industry.

And here is another:

Drowning Ideologies - Israel - The NSA and 911

There are some people who think the state of Israel cannot do anything wrong.

You will notice such people by their absolute silence when it comes to talking about many of the issues I have mentioned on this blog.

If someone brings up such issues, they will either attack a person's character --- or --- completely ignore what has been said.

How to Spot Such a Person:

1. If such a person was a squash player trying to join a squash club, he might act like an arrogant and belligerent ass to the club and then complain that the reason the club didn't let him in was because they were Anti-Semitic.

2. Such a person, if in a position of power and privilege --- might abuse this by using high-tech surveillance (see here,) with his "friends" to look into another human being's brain, and then constantly and covertly berate and admonish that person about their thoughts on his blog.

If the latter mentioned in number two happened to anyone... (it happened to me --- not just by one person, blog, website or media source... but numerous,) that by itself, should be enough to make anyone re-evaluate the truth and state of the world.

As I have mentioned in another post, the state of Israel is extremely important to Christians and Jews. So much so, that they are willing to do almost anything to protect its reputation no matter what it does. This alone makes it the most important country in the world next to the United States.

It is rather funny that Christians support the state of Israel --- a place that denies their supposed Messiah and that's based on racial laws similar to the Nuremberg Laws. We would not tolerate this anywhere in the western world. So why do we allow Israel to do this? At the absolute least, why do we allow our countries to support it?

Why else would the Christian prime minister of Canada say this: "Canada will always stand by Israel" and "As long as I'm Prime Minister, this government will remain very supportive’ of Israel."
(Update: nothing has changed for Canada, Trudeau is just as pathetic, see here and here.)

Now, don't misunderstand me.

I don't think that it is wrong to stand up for a country. But, should one stand by a country no matter what it is doing or what it has done? Or... without questioning what it even stands for?

Off of the topic of Israel and onto the United States and 9/11.

There has been much talk about the 9/11 attacks and conspiracies. Unfortunately, I believe much of what has been talked about is a red herring. For example, one of the popular topics to focus on is the collapse of the buildings.

While there may be very interesting reasons to question if the damage caused from the planes was the ONLY reason that the towers collapsed, I think it's also important to remember that the planes that crashed into the towers and the Pentagon were enough to bring about an atmosphere of fear and paranoia to fuel a country to go to war.

So it must be asked... was there a reason to collapse the towers? They would and could have gone to war from the terrorist attack itself --- even without the collapse of the towers. The collapse of the towers certainly did create more chaos and damage, but I don't think it really mattered. This is why endlessly studying the collapse of the towers isn't as important to me.

What I Think is More Important is This...

Once you understand the level of technological sophistication the NSA and CIA have, you cannot help but realize that they know a LOT more than what they have said they know.

In fact, I'm sure they know everything that happened on that day. Not just a little --- but absolutely everything. Sadly, this is being completely under-emphasized.

All we have to do is look at the way the media releases information about the NSA and the CIA.

They purposely under-emphasize the level of technological sophistication these Intelligence Agencies possess. In fact, I've yet to see any information that talks about the the level of technology that I'm talking about in the mainstream media. The alternative media isn't much better --- they still won't tell the whole story.

Why? 

Because then you would see through the REAL big lie of the military industrial complex... and... they don't want you to know that you literally live in Orwell's 1984.

This has lead me to believe that at the absolute least... the terrorist attack on 9/11 was allowed to happen. As horrible as that sounds.

There is just no way that they didn't see it coming.

Yet, it's always written off as incompetence in the media. I find it impossible to believe that they were not following the hijackers the whole time on that day.

I also think the location of Osama Bin Laden was known long before the capture of 2012. Once again, with the level of technological sophistication the Intelligence Agencies possess, I do not see how it could be otherwise.

Why there aren't more people concerned about this when so many died on that day, and so many have died after .... is absolutely inconceivable to me.

When we see the cost of the increased build-up in security and surveillance, with the loss of rights from the Patriot Act and the results of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan .... what else could it be?

Rattling the Sheriffs' Cages About the Constitution

From the beginning of the video below:

"Over 100 county sheriffs and peace officers united to uphold their oaths of office, protect citizen liberty, and stop state and federal tyranny..."

Below you can watch a video featuring the constitutional scholar Michael Badnarik giving a lecture to over 100 county sheriffs.

There was no mention anywhere in the talk about high-tech surveillance, manipulation of human behavior with high-technology, or using electromagnetic weapons on people or their animals.

BUT...

I think that would be an interesting question for a police officer to bring up. Maybe the question was never brought up because the answer was already quite apparent.

This is excellent. Too bad he couldn't do this with the FBI or we couldn't have the same activity in Canada with the RCMP. Though I'm certain that none of what I listed above is allowed in Canada either.

By the way, for all of you that are using the technology that I listed above.... watch Michael Badnarik's constitutional class here.

A New Book?

Side of Book:

Seperate-ness, Freedom and Individuality

One reason a person would want to be a part of a separate group away from the rest of humanity is because they have a superiority/inferiority complex.

These two qualities are quite similar to what Socrates said about pain and pleasure. They are joined at the hip --- you cannot have one without the other. 

Now, let me state that, as long as it's used constructively ---  I don't think there is anything wrong with having a superiority/inferiority complex.  In fact, I think having one can lead to a state of creativity.  The alien-ation that is brought about from the chaos of the "dis-order" leads to a heightened state of sensitivity and awareness.

That being said... one must not forget that reality always presents us with double-edged swords.  The other side of the superiority/inferiority complex is blindness. Nature doesn't grant people inferior qualities without also giving them some superior characteristics, nor superior without inferior.

Once we see this for what it is... an epistemological or knowledge problem... we can begin to understand the problem with having a superiority/inferiority complex in an inclusive and separated group that mirrors many of our own beliefs.

If this group has a large amount of money, that means they have a lot of power --- at least in this day and age. If this is true, this also means they have a lot of political and technological power. If we acknowledge these points, we see how we could have a possible recipe for a nightmare.

Does this mean that we should embrace the alternative view that all people are equal? No. This idea also has grave limitations.

This doesn't contradict the political philosophies of the enlightenment that sought to grant people POLITICAL FREEDOM. In fact, it is precisely what is most needed in the real world.

Political freedom is most needed because of one reason.... PEOPLE ARE NOT EQUAL. They are different, and it's because of this that each should be granted political equality to flourish, to PURSUE eudaemonia.

No one puts it better than Emerson in this paragraph:

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

This is also why the idea behind the United States was such a unique one. Unfortunately, most Americans just mouth or "act" like they care about it today.

The reality is, most Americans will give up their freedom for security.

The security of a paycheck--- no matter who they are taking it from or what they have to do or say to get it.

The security of a group --- no matter how much that group does things that are distasteful or that violate what one thinks is wrong.

The security of a reputation--- no matter how phony it is.

As long as Americans are like this --- they will continue to piss away one of the greatest political projects that has ever been developed in human history.

They will continue down the inevitable road of degeneration where they are HUMANLY equal rather than politically free. A road of "self" love and "self" glorification that is bought through the words, smiles and flattery of others. They will pave their souls flat with what is acknowledged to bring happiness by public opinion.

No Need...

No need. No need to give advise. No need to impress. No need to be a spy. No need to fight wars in foreign countries for "freedom" when it no longer exists in ones own country.

Someone real. Someone that's paradoxically NEEDED in a world of complete bullshit.

A Money Making "Classic"

This guy actually deserves the credit of the word "classic."

Of course, not in the same way as a book like Reminiscences of a Stock Operator---
(a true "classic" book...) but, --- he really did produce a "classic" infomercial that will entertain for years. (Much better than a home video showing how your friend scraped the mirror on your $250,000 car --- don't forget to mention how it's being filmed in the garage of your multimillion dollar house!)

The one thing I really like about Tom --- (and others that are similar,) is at least they don't make a show of their humility. Yes... maybe his system was bullshit. But at least he made people laugh.

I'm sure this sort of format would work wonders if you wanted to sell a "classic" method to a bunch of willing lapdogs who want to learn day trading.

It seems to already be working for Penny Stocks... among other things.
