The Matrix

The MatrixUSA page has been updated to include a word of caution about the Money Master documentary linked in the money section.

I have to admit financial savvy concerning stocks, investment funds and the like is not something I spent a lot of time developing. It is almost an aversion to me don't even like it. So when it comes to understanding the collapse that is happening on Wall Street and the government agencies supposedly watchdogging it I am clueless. I don't like the idea of making a fortune simply by manipulating commodities and produce, or provide, nothing in return for it. To me that is simply parasitic on the system.

There are those however that do not feel that way and in fact not only do this but actually have a hand in manipulating the prices of the commodities themselves to further their parasitic profits. In the process destroying entities that have served many for over a century. Not only did they not produce or provide they specifically and knowing manipulated destruction for profit. The government agencies we pay for, FTC, stands mute as all this criminal activity destroys major entities.

If you are already savvy about this and well informed then this blog can offer you little. However if you are like me and this is not your "forte" lets say then here are three YouTubes that can help explain the Hedge Fund disasters, plural. More to come I am sure as Wall Street criminal activity is not prosecuted by the FTC anymore. Apparently, like most government agencies, they have gone criminal also. Also, like most government agencies, they must have been taken over and are now controlled by the very industries they are supposed to be policing. Destroy entire financial holdings and even the countries economy criminal and that goes unpunished. Where are all the prosecutions and convictions for all this activity? Sorry, that is protected now. However if a light goes out on your car you are terrorized and prosecuted to the max for it!

Understand?

Krugman: "The Question Is Whether Our Economy Is Governed By Any Kind Of Rule Of Law"

The mortgage mess is making nonsense of claims that we have effective contract enforcement — in fact, the question is whether our economy is governed by any kind of rule of law.

True to form, the Obama administration’s response has been to oppose any action that might upset the banks, like a temporary moratorium on foreclosures while some of the issues are resolved. Instead, it is asking the banks, very nicely, to behave better and clean up their act. I mean, that’s worked so well in the past, right?

The Rot Within: Our Culture of Financial Fraud and the Anger of the Honest

Misrepresentation, fraud and gaming the system are all heavily incentivized in the U.S. culture and economy, and honesty is punished. This truth is finally being revealed on a grand scale. The coming implosion of the U.S. economy has been richly earned.

Rule of law and government protection I am so safe!

I'm telling you it just gets weirder and weirder. I've blogged this one before but it bears repeating since others have taken up this subject.

Our political process as defined organic is very chaotic to say the least. Free ideas running in a free arena of free for all? Animated and entertaining only begin to describe this process. But that is really what it is all about. That is truly what made America great and powerful. Let the most valid and worthy idea win out and rise above all the other ideas that were in contentious struggle for survival and dominance.

Animated and entertaining only begin to describe this process.

Personally coming from an Italian heritage this is reminiscent of the big family dinner gatherings. Got a problem? Just throw it out on the table at dinner and let the opinions and ideas flow. An elderly uncle on mine made it clear to me that not only was your argument and reasoning important but presentation was critical! Truly Academy Award material.

But this is what it is here in America. Or at least that is what it is supposed to be. This is how the people themselves decide how it will be and what is done. This is what made America great and successful.

But from the control freak perspective this is a very messy cumbersome and worst.. unpredictable process. We can't just leave things to chance and chaotic conclusion as it were. That would be one of the control freaks worst nightmares. In response to this they take over the government, its agencies, the media, the schools... everything! Leaving nothing to chance it is all directed and controlled. But this is a very expensive and cumbersome process all by itself. Would it not be better if they could just simply put what they want you to think right into your head without a lot of expense and effort?

Yes, in fact, that would be ideal!

Well not to worry there is just the thing for that. Silent Sound Spread Spectrum. Weirder and weirder. Its' things like this that make me almost, but not quite, appreciate our vacuous Pravda corporate controlled main stream media news. The comforting warm embrace of illusion. They do not give you the news. You're entertained and distracted not fettered with frightening things like this. Please tell me the control freaks are in control and they know what they are doing! I find this comforting?

Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) & the All-Digital TV Broadcast Signal: Connection?

The Department of Defense calls it Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), and it also goes by the name of S-quad or Squad. In the private sector, the technology goes by the name of Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached catchy brand names like BrainSpeak Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products.

Whatever you call it, SSSS is a technology that uses subliminal programming that is carried over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) broadcast waves, planting inaudible messages directly into the subconscious human mind.

Mind Control & “Full Spectrum Dominance”

If this is correct, then it follows that our brains, which are electro-chemical, are included in that “full spectrum dominance,” for, without total control of our minds, as well as the environment in which we live, there would always be the possibility of the overthrow of the coming world government, if not its prevention, in the first place.

To that end, the military-intelligence establish has been working, for decades, on electromagnetic mind control of the entire population. This has been and is being delivered via television, radio, and quite probably HAARP and the GWEN network, using cell phone towers, as well as by possible other means.

In case you haven't noticed "our" federal government has become expert and very adept at basically taking, confiscating, stealing, redistributing any wealth or asset the people still have hold of. You decide which adjective describes this best.

Private retirement accounts are an asset measuring in the trillions. You think they are going to let you keep that? They will take that from you giving in return a vacuous false promise Ponzi scheme like all their other Ponzi schemes. For your protection and benefit of course!

Lets see.. the government just seized my life long to build retirement investment and gave me a worthless IOU in return. I feel so protected the government truly loves and cares for me!

In addition the Rachel Maddow Gets A Spanking blog has been updated to include follow up information and opinion.

I Want Your Money trailer...Set against the backdrop of today's headline - 67% of Americans don't approve of Obama's economic policies, the film takes a provocative look at our deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama and shows the marked contrast between Reaganomics and Obamanomics. The film contrasts two views of the role that the federal government should play in our daily lives using the words and actions of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. Two versions of the American dream now stand in sharp contrast. One views the money you earned as yours and best allocated by you; the other believes that the elite in Washington know how to best allocate your wealth. One champions the traditional American dream, which has played out millions of times through generations of Americans, of improving one's lot in life and even daring to dream and build big. The other holds that there is no end to the "good" the government can do by taking and spending other peoples' money in an ever-burgeoning list of programs. The documentary film I Want Your Money exposes the high cost in lost freedom and in lost opportunity to support a Leviathan-like bureaucratic state.

An article over at News With Views by Frosty Wooldridge examines some of the more "insane" type of absurdities that "our" federal government puts upon the people of America. To be sure this is a very small list of absurdities from a long and illustrious history of excelling at absurdity. Obamacare, bailout and stimulus are some big recent examples of just how well they have perfected this absurd thing.

Frosty examines several of the federal government policies asking where can anyone tell me is the sense in this?

ABSURDITIES CONGRESS FORCES UPON AMERICANS

How much sense does it make to pay for 570,000 military personnel on 700 bases in 120 countries around the world? Can anyone in the U.S. Congress or the president give a simple, rational and logical answer for such an absurd practice? Why do we keep 35,000 troops at our expense on the DMZ in South Korea for the past 50 years? Don’t they possess their own army?

Maybe an absurdity we really should be concerned about is why are we putting up with this??
