The low price of oil is a conspiracy between the US and Saudi Arabia to bankrupt Russia; and as a side benefit, it reduces Saudi competition from the US and Iran thus maintaining their market share. Question: Will it backfire? Saudi is already in deep dodo over this having to borrow money… can you believe that? The big question is can Russia outlast Saudi Arabia? We shall see. Russia said that they would still produce oil even if it was zero dollars per barrel. It’s a fight to the death. An unexpected risk to the US financial system is what impact will this have on derivatives and hedge funds?
Demographics are an incredibly important factor in Geopolitics and Economics, yet most people have little understanding of how this works and so their ignorance of this topic is used against them, to deceive them into believing things that are just not true. I will not take the time now to give a detailed explanation but will provide basic information on which we can all agree. First concept is that depending on local customs, religions, etc. most girls/women do not start having children until they are 13 to 20. Also depending on local customs and religions girls/women may have more than one child during a span of one to two or maybe three decades. In the West and the more developed countries child birth starts at an older age and we have less children per woman. So what does this mean? It means that most developed countries cannot produce enough children to keep the population steady and stable … in fact many countries are teetering on a demographic cliff. We can’t see this cliff because it takes a couple of decades to become apparent. What happens during these decades? Well, you have less children and the same number of deaths. This means that the population decreases as we can see all over the Western world. This is bad. Really bad. Why? Because as people age, they become less productive and more expensive to maintain AND you have a smaller number of younger people available to support this.
Another hidden trend is that population growth happens very slowly, but the demographic nightmare happens very quickly and the recovery from falling off this cliff is very slow, some 20 years away if it happens at all.
It is estimated that you need a fertility rate of 2.1 just to keep the population growth at zero. If a country has less than 2.1 children per woman, then they are shrinking and may face the demographic cliff if they don’t increase child birth or import immigrants. 132 countries have a fertility rate less than 2.1. This includes the US @ 1.87; Canada @ 1.59; China @ 1.60; Russia @ 1.61; Japan @ 1.4 and all of Western Europe.
So whilst the propagandists and fear merchants are warning you about the unsustainable population explosion in countries like Niger @ 6.7, what they are not telling you is that the real danger to you, your family, your economy and your country is the massive population decrease that is 10 to 20 years out.

Looks like Europe is having a Rape-Fest all around and the police are trying their best to cover all this up. Let us not forget why the refugees are in Europe in the first place, eh? The US and NATO have destroyed Libya, Syria and caused much mayhem in many other countries in MENA (Middle East & North Africa). It’s a massive human tragedy that we created!!! These people have no place to go!! So our overlords created this problem, and now they are making it worse by letting these people enter their countries un-vetted, not knowing a darned thing about them (just like Obama). And what is not being reported is the massive number of little girls who are being raped by these same people in the Refugee Camps. What child should have to face this? Many so-called refugees are in fact ISIS fighters supported by US/NATO that had their asses kicked by Putin. And now these refugees and ISIS fighters are having a rape fest and scaring the crap out of the helpless, unarmed people in Europe. Next, the European Union will need to come in and save the day. How? By increasing the power of the police state. This is the oldest hoax in the books if you are a government leader. It’s called PROBLEM > REACTION > SOLUTION. It’s that simple. You will see this same technique used over and over again and we fall for it each and every time begging our overlords to save us… and they do… at a price.
Get ready for the invasion of Europe at the request of their leaders no less. With leaders like these who needs enemies? Of course the informed know that this is part of the globalist’s plan to usher in their unworkable Utopia of a one-world government. Once the interlopers have decimated what is left of Europe, the globalists will save the day and dispatch these Islamic Pirates to Allah. America, don’t feel too special even though you are protected by an ocean. Your overlords are shipping them in via airplane and through the Southern border. The idea in their own words is to remove the Nation-State and that means you America. Question: Is there enough testosterone left in Europe and America to quell these soft slow-moving coup d’états?

R.I.P. David Bowie … January 10 2016 – “David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.” –David’s Facebook page.
Most will remember David for his unique style and his music. I’ll remember him for his introduction to the ‘Snowman‘ and his Christmas duo with Bing Crosby (Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy in 1977). Anyone who gave such an amazing intro to such an amazing movie as ‘Snowman’ has to have had a great heart. Farewell old friend, may you rest in peace. – David Brown
David Bowie
“David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016) known professionally as David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, arranger, painter, and actor. Bowie was a figure in popular music for over four decades, and was known as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. His androgynous appearance was an iconic element of his image principally in the 1970s and 1980s.” – Wikipedia
Excellent article below by Tony Cartalucci concerning the ‘Showdown in Oregon between Armed Ranchers and Federal Agents’. Tony provides us a real plan that we can use effectively. To be honest, I really didn’t want to read this long article thinking it would be a pain and of small value, but I know Tony as a thoughtful writer so gave him the benefit of the doubt. I’m glad that I did, because this has provided me the outline for action that I have been looking for. Like so many, I’m tired of sitting here on the sidelines bitching and watching as our freedoms guaranteed by the constitution are subsumed by Corporate-Insurgents who have infiltrated our government, our schools, our media and our money system.
Based on my default positon on the status of the U.S., it was a little confusing for me to read Tony’s insurgency and counter-insurgency, since I tend to reverse the roles; but after reading this fine article, I agree with Tony.
Tony’s depiction is that the Insurgency are the forces that are trying to take over our country and the counter-insurgency would therefore be us the good citizens of the USA. My default position has always been that the insurgency took over our country way back in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment; so for me, those who want to wrest the control of this country back from private bankers and corporations are the insurgents. In many ways, it doesn’t matter whether you are the insurgency or the counter-insurgency since many of the tactics are similar, but I now tend to agree with Tony that we, the patriots are the counter-insurgency trying to rid our Republic of these interlopers who have taken control of our money, our government and have busied themselves shredding our constitution for the past 103 years. While it is true that the insurgents have also taken control of our media, our schools and our universities, they nonetheless can be seen as insurgents since we are the people living here on the ground suffering the abuse of the insurgents. I may have spent way too much time on this difference, but if we intend to rescue our Republic and our freedoms, we must take seriously the real things we can do in the real world to make real, tangible differences; after all that is what the enemies of freedom have been busy doing with their foundations and think tanks while we have been busy raising our families, working and paying taxes and of course watching Football, Sitcoms, etc.
EXAMPLE:
“Laws and regulations are designed to prevent independent local institutions, services, and economies from springing up and competing directly with the corporate-insurgency. Farmers in America have been fighting laws seeking to disrupt and regulate out of business, local farmer’s markets. Similar laws in regards to “intellectual property rights” seek to stifle the emergence of independent technological innovation and personal manufacturing. Understanding the greater implications of these laws should provide us a greater impetus to organize and find the means of circumventing them.”
I think Tony Cartalucci has provided us some good ideas on how to push back on those who seek to destroy our freedom.
Just watched the video below. It was very good. Thanks to Hugh Cameron for directing my attention to this excellent video. Obviously Putin is in a leadership position so must chose his words carefully so that he doesn’t foreclose diplomatic or strategic options to move his agenda forward. What the USA has done to Russia and Ukraine is a crime. The good citizens of America and Russia and in fact the good citizens of the world are facing the same enemy and that is the NWO which seeks to destroy nation-states like Russia to usher in their unworkable Utopia with those in charge of this new order running the globe from a single fulcrum. What Russia, Europe and others may not realize is that part of this new order will be substantial population reductions. I think Putin realizes that he is dealing with certifiable psychopaths who give not a twit about human life. These folks who have insinuated themselves into the halls of power in this country (U.S.) would just as soon step on a bug as kill 100,000 or a million people. There are no mistakes about the Arab Spring or about Ukraine. This is all according to design using proven methods and is documented for all to read; but as Allen Dulles said… “People don’t read.”

I‘ve had better years and I’ve certainly had worse. What does the future hold? The certainty of death and taxes and of course the metastasizing growth and corruption of a psychopathic government and its bureaucracy who have spread death, destruction and misery across the face of the earth, enriching the very few while leaving mountains of unpayable debt in its wake.
I’ve done my fair share of bitching and identifying the problem. Shall we allow history to repeat itself or shall we become educated on the facts that surround us and put a stop to this foolishness?
In many ways we ARE winning the NFO-War, but while we are winning the hearts and minds of more every day, the enemies of the individual and of freedom are on the march, destroying creativity, self-reliance and freedom. Our natural predators are busy constructing their web; doing real things in the real world that will forever ensnare the entirety of mankind like never before. George Orwell paints a clear picture: “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.”
The beast we have unleashed wants to know everything about each and every one of us. Everything. It collects all our DNA at birth for its federal registry, it poisons our water, our air, our food, our medicines and our minds. It removes our ability to think critically and clearly in our own self-interest using the state education system; teaching us truth based on authority rather than authority based on truth. It poisons our mind and our freewill and spreads distrust and division among us using scientific social engineering and propaganda. It has corrupted our science and universities through grants, tax incentives, government-created monopolies and tax-free foundations; while promulgating the illusion that truth is a well-established fact arrived at by consensus. It has corrupted our traditions and our families replacing mother and father with an all-powerful centralized authority; while attempting to destroy every good and wholesome tradition our forbearers held dear. It has convinced our young mothers that murdering their own child is just a medical procedure.
A spectre is haunting man—the spectre of a tyranny; the likes of which has never been seen.
While many are awake to the evil this spectre brings, the beast marches on. As our natural predators have learned, we too must learn to do real things in the real world. If we are to avoid Orwell’s vision of the future we must preserve what it means to be free and to be human whatever the cost.
I know I will get a lot of flack from this heresy, but it has been a splinter in my brain that must come out. I will not spend endless hours debating this, but I will paint a simpler and a more complete picture soon. The impact of modern philosophy on today’s science: Not many realize that philosophy and science were once the same thing (called natural philosophy); until they split in the late 1,700s. The scientific method transformed natural philosophy into an empirical activity called science; and metaphysics was concerned with the non-empirical inquiry into the nature of existence. Not only that, Immanuel Kant and Plato before him sought to destroy the metaphysics of 1) Identity; 2) Causality and 3) The law of non-contradiction set forth by Aristotle. Aristotle said that A is A; and A is not non-A. Kant, ushering in the modern philosophy, said we really can’t know anything for certain and there are no absolutes (which in itself is a logical fallacy). Examples: Everybody’s entitled to their opinion or It may be true for you but not true for me. This violates any idea of an external reality and has insinuated itself into all aspects of modern theoretical physics. It has bastardized the ideas of identity, causality and the law of non-contraction providing us with the absurd theories of Quantum, String and M-theory and many others which cannot be reconciled into classical physics. It is interesting to note that around this same time our Trivium education system was replaced by the Prussian system which removed critical thought, identity and the law of non-contradiction.

Now I have taken many math classes at the University: from linear & abstract algebra to Calculus 1-3, Topology and more but one day while in Advanced Calculus we had been studying a cut theory for weeks, trying to figure out the difference between a 1 and a 2, and it occurred to me how utterly simple and basic all this math stuff was conceptually; and that even a first grader could understand it; and in fact it is my opinion that we should teach Calculus to all our children in elementary school. To put this into context, I’m not saying we should teach them how to solve complex equations, derivatives or integrals. It is a fact that I was a lousy math student in public school since I didn’t have good number sense or a calculator. I made straight ‘Fs’ in math until I got to the University, where I made straight ‘As’. The difference? The higher you get into math, the less it has to do with numbers and the more it has to do with concepts. What I am saying, is that the concepts are so simple and profound that they apply to everything and should be taught to our children at a very early age. In fact I have taught all my kids calculus –without them knowing it—by the first or second grade. Simply put Calculus is magical, philosophical and depends on faith. It solves an ancient unsolvable problem of determining the exact area under a curve. It just says as you make each square smaller and smaller and as the size goes to zero the limit of the equation that describes the curve is exactly equal to this. Kids can get this stuff and see the beauty and usefulness of math.
When you walk along the sea shore, you can pick up an Abalone Shell and tell your kids that if you had the equation for this shell, you could tell EXACTLY how many drops of sea water it would hold.
“a boy playing on the seashore”
“I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
–Isaac Newton (developed Calculus in the 17th century)
To counteract some of the damage done by our public education system, I have given my 17 year old son, Jack, some reading material that should help get his head on straight, while providing him the ability to see through so much of the frankly false history promulgated by our schools, universities and media (The reading list is at the bottom).
I once believed the story of American history as related in the boring history classes I was forced to sit through in school, but as an adult I learned a painful lesson: that this history did not match the documented facts as we now know them today; and worse, much of the most important events have been completely omitted altogether. We know this, not just by going to original source documents, but by reading the minutes of Tax-Free foundations like the Carnage Foundation. We discover through Carnage that this was no mistake or oversight but a well-planned conspiracy that included Rockefeller, Guggenheim and others who sought to re-write the historical record in their own image to accomplish clandestine goals using the American Historical Association our Universities and others who could be controlled through grants.
Beyond just re-writing our history, our school systems have systematically imposed a compulsory education system for all, which replaced the idea of ‘authority based on truth’ with ‘truth based on authority’. This educational lobotomy was accomplished by replacing the Trivium method with the Prussian education system. The Prussian system removed the Trivium techniques of critical thought (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and replaced these with truth by authority. Additionally, data was memorized out of context by rote to confuse the young mind. This was no accident, but planned social engineering by the elite.
The reading list below may sound ominous for a 17 year old, but he has read all the Harry Potter books including ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ which is over 700 pages long, so this should be a walk in the park. A few years ago I was surprised that he took it upon himself to read the entire Bible from cover to cover without any encouragement from me; and now he says he is excited to read these books also.
