Welcome to the western world and your path to the middle.
Who’s advice would you value more when faced with a moral dilemma: A politicians, religious clergy, doctor, lawyer, policeman or taxi driver? And that question is rhetorical and not one I should be able to ask in a reasonable society, if you know the answer then read on for interest sake’s. If you don’t know the answer then you have led too sheltered a life from real life.
It’s a game called who’s the best at being in the middle, or who is the best at being socially acceptable or at least that’s what the powers that be would prefer you to do. Simply and quietly pay your taxes, do a good job bringing up your kin and don’t make too much noise as you pass through life before you die, again it’s better if you can die quietly and leave plenty behind so your kids can have half (of course the powers that be will take their half) Sorry but yes, you have to pay to check out of this life. Of course some leave us without making provision, but the way things work with this road to the middle is that the rest of us will generously cover it for you, well we have to when we pay our own taxes, so while it may not be a glorious calling for the working and middle classes it does have it’s dramas and adventures and parts of true happiness and belonging, but more generally it’s a stress and worry and either a dull acceptance or a quiet ignorance of the state of affairs in the world. There is another class below the working class who can’t work which in our current ‘broken Britan’ (due to teenage pregnancy and lack of an wholesome education) and it’s growing rapidly thanks to a faulty educational system, little or no moral compass and a blatant disregard of the values of what it means to have some spirituality in ones life. So who’s running this (democracy is a messy business) show, then?
Ok so the powers that be? I don’t want to get into a big theory on this about aristo families but stick to generally known facts (Of course they exist but let them have there fun just so long as we’re safe, GBs royal family, Rothschilds, circles of very rich aka Influential Jews in the banking community and Arab Royalty). So our countries are run by our governments and they are all members of the UN. The UN pretty much decides when countries can legally go to war or not and has a security council that decides on these things (It’s five permanent members with power of veto are USA, GB, Russia, China and France, incidentally all the nations with Nuclear Bombs and the rockets to launch them anywhere). Ultimately each country is looking out for itself more than others, there are some countries that are much better off than others when it comes to natural resources that are needed to continue to run our civilization as we are living and running it right now and when it comes to the crunch – it boils down to who has the biggest and best armed forces and the political will to use it. The UN is there to keep these wars to a minimum and hopefully eventually stop them and thereafter only use peace keeping missions to stop the predominantly African states from warring among themselves so much so that genocides occur.
Other factors involved in the running of the world is oil production and consumption – we are now in a bind in that we need it to get the kids to school so we expect our government to make sure it keeps flowing and any government that did not would soon be out of a job because we kind of like to be able to put our lights on and give our kids a run to school especially if it’s raining or too cold. It is a VERY expensive business, an average IQ ‘workie’ I mean the guys in the pubs with the beer belly who follows football and who would say the capital of Paris is P and that e=mc2 is something to do with algebra, but we’re pushing it to expect him to recognize it as a mathematical formula never mind the fact it was one of Einstiens greatest discoveries, gets paid 3x the wage of a nurse or 4 x the wage of a school teacher because he works for 2 weeks out of 6 on a drilling platform. The ones who are smart make 10 times that. So we really need it and there is MASSIVE money in it.
Money: world banks, countries debt, inflation, recessions, stock markets, share prices, loans, corporate bail outs, corruption, remember all this goes on at UN, national goverment and local government levels, (all sided by and funding lawyers that are racking it in because one CAN bend the law just not break it) our local governments invest our pension money into the stock markets – that is what a savings account is, these cats manage our money on our behalf and it is made as complicated as it is so they have an excuse to have more of the money, because they ‘understand’ money better. They obv don’t understand money better, those whose income is greater than there expenses understand how to get by using money, the rest are just making it more complicated so they have an excuse to pay themselves vast bonus’
Compare these two ideas, capitalism & communism. Capitalism means a person can make money from the money he has already got (not earned – got). So money can be used to aquire money. Ok, so if a person earned 10,000 and put that down as a deposit and bought another property, he could end up paying a mortgage of 200 while charging a rent of 600 and if the tenants are ok and pay rent then he would make a profit which i think he would be rightly entitled to. Anything above that level is so complicated it has no use in society other than to make rich people have more of the money than the poorer people, and take yet more of the money because they got (not earned) way more money than the rest of us. Communism is easier to see how the Joe public ain’t cared for thanks to Stalin, he killed way more than Hitler, but for some reason has less notoriety, it’s all in wikipedia, which i could suggest might not be entirely accurate, but when it’s claimed Hitler killed half a million and Stalin killed 20 million then distortion of the facts over time would still have me putting Stalin up there as the worst of the two.
But here is the thing, all the banks, governments, finance markets, religious clergy, high level public officials make up a fraction of the population and I mean a tiny percent. Like for every 50,000 people you have one leader and what they are getting up to to make sure we get our oil and our banks are safe is some pretty funky stuff and human rights ie looking out for the 50,000 they are in charge of each aint spoke about on the agendas of many of these people, in fact human rights is only brought up in the religious clergy with any degree of frequency, for the rest of them it would only be spoke about at meetings to do with exactly that.
Now that is not to say they are all bad people, many in public office and high up executives generally do want to do well by us and have the obv perks on the way.
Now here is where we have a problem, the world spoke out in one clear voice against invading Iraqi. The UN never sanctioned it, millions marched against it and 25,000 people died nonetheless.
Ok so the toppling of Libya was more ‘humane’ because the US and GB never marched in with 250,000 troops and occupied it for a decade, same death toll though. So same result in the end, it just never cost the US or GB quite as much because they never had as much money to spend at the time, but the end result will be the same (another form of a puppet democracy) and aye so will the death toll. You ask the powers that be to justify this and they will say that democracy is a messy business. The actual thought process is they have to do these wars so the country will be better off with democracy, thus the expression, democracy is a messy business – just those simple 5 words mean it’s ‘ok’ for 1000s and 1000s of innocents to be killed.
There may be some conflict in the future with Asia as well, in fact the current development of the next generation of fighter jet, the F22 Raptor had to specifically include the ability to ‘manage’ China. I really really hope it doesn’t come to that which is why I am writing this. Btw have a look at the cost of developing that 5th generation fighter jet and ask if it is justified when we live in a world with as many people living without running water as there is, or dying of malaria (Sierra Leon) At least back in the eighties we tried with the likes of Live Aid
The 20,000 people in power are half of them voted in by us and they have a say on the other half to, so we do have a voice in it all, but it’s only the smallest of squeaks on the world stage, fine as small as it may be we do have some say. And yes a person can have more say by writing ones MP, they get such a small amount of letters on world issues that even one letter saying ‘can we have peace on earth’ would definitely be noticed. So in our journey to the ‘suppose to be in the middle’ we can also write our MP asking for world peace?! Yes, and all the rest! Join a religion who’s cause you believe in and agree with their teachings as you see fit to or not but help them in their cause if you think it is worthy, assist in charity shops, join in on social betterment activities, demand press reforms or less corrupt local officials or abuses at the hands of police, why not set up a facebook page asking for friends of friends if they have been abused by the police and coach them to make a complaint about it to the police watchdog, be a good citizen on your journey to the middle but upset the apple cart a bit, shake the status quo some, kick up some stink and have some marches. Whatever you do with your life DO NOT DO NOTHING, Christians are saying ‘there is HOPE’ others say ‘Something can be DONE about it’
The London riots and the Arab spring proved to us how much more say we are having in this world through the use of social networking, Mark Zukkerburg (who started FB) wasn’t joking when he said he wanted a free flow of information the world over, I have spoke on FB chat with a shop worker in Syria 2 weeks ago, he said he has seen US special forces operating there and referred to the US as Satan, so while he might be pulling my leg, I saw in the newspaper the other day that the Peace envoy from the UN has resigned and washed his hands of it saying if no side wants peace then why was he sent to Syria to try bring about peace, so maybe the US are involved on a military campaign there. While I am none the wiser to the truth of it, I am now thinking about it and the other day I made a post on facebook along the lines GB should give Julian Assage asylum herself and stick the two v up to the USA, no one liked it much, guess no ones that bothered then, but it’s out there for people to read and I wonder why no one liked it or cares that someone who spoke out against the US government might very well end up being ‘legally’ killed if he is extradited to the US and charged with espionage – certainly the Ecuador government has this concern why shouldn’t we? Because of our ‘special’ relationship with the US, Britain needs more of a back bone before I will consider it Great again.
Here is the other beauty about the internet/social NWing and FB, send on those lovely beautiful images, poems and stories, we need more spirituality being put into the world and with the enthusiasm that the teenagers of today interact with facebook, lets do what we can to make the online arena more about the nice things in the world today and making it a better place instead of just porn (which our young ones are way too exposed to right now!)and yet another forum to be obsessed consumers and be advertised to. Or where words of hate can be spread anonymously.
With the internet and Social NWing, views the world over are changing so fast right now that the world will very soon start to take on other ideas from the ‘norm’ and we have a status quo to keep things in check and stable, but we need to start thinking about the future, we need the massive population of average Joes to be more involved in religions and public and social life and we need to spread the message of a loving and caring family is the best way to bring a child into the world and every home should be a happy one but we have to lead better lives by setting a good example to our children and explain we have made a bad job of running things up untill now and no we don’t agree with things as they are, but we are trying to do a better job and the sooner we can get away from doing things with ‘special forces’ aka illegal activities by a state in another state against it and letting our kids leave school without being able to read and write, the better. But never ever tell your kids, that’s just the way life is, protect them as needed from the harshness of the world, but listen more to their dreams and ideas and nourish them, we learn a lot as we grow up. It’s called prejudice, protect their dreams and try not pass on your prejudices.
If someone asked me to think for myself I would say, I’ll look after my Gal, and try help her make some sense of this world and make sure she does well in school, I’ll pay my tax and obey the law (i’ll admit I take the odd call while driving if it is important or juicy goss) and I will give as much as I can to my religion which is Scientology in both volunteer hours and pennies and I’ll walk my path to the middle, but I am going to rattle the cages a bit while I pass, as well as making sure my Daughter becomes a Search and Rescue Paramedic Technician (her own choice) which is, I think an honorable job with much more a sense of duty than an attempt to just make money and I will do my damnedest to make a dent into the cause of the twats who are still trying to use the likes of special forces and manipulating finance markets to make themselves much more powerful for some bizarre fucking reason, excuse my language, in trying to make some sense of it all it’s hard not to get a bit hot headed about the USA supporting Israel and the ensuring mayhem that Islam is then used to make the 9/11 attacks possible. Can we please take back some control, demand world peace from your MPs at least make them aware of how low Britain is on the Global Peace Index (if you don’t know what that is – it’s on wikipedia and is just as available to you as it is to me), at least do that and constantly or otherwise get a religious cause and give them a hand and use Facebook to promote good causes there are many and they cater for all tastes, mines is Scientology which is serious about the state of the world and takes a lot of dedication but I believe it is a worthy cause and one I will support to my dying breath at which point i will do what I am suppose to and pass along quietly, but i will shake up the status quo a bit along the way and have some say in the world and leave it better off for my passing, the world as I know it in Britain right now is quite rightly referred to as broken.
Please heed my call to do more, we live in a world that is one messed up place and we are giving it to our kids like this, it might seem hopeless – but never ever say to your kids that that is just the way life is, with the connectivity of the internet and with the power of making us so much more connected with Facebook we can have more of a voice if we direct our efforts towards good rather than bad and we can expect others to get more involved, i’m going to start spreading a book called The Way to Happiness on FB. Imagine if we could get the population of facebook to agree to live by the precepts in the booklet the Way to Happiness by L Ron Hubbard. When we moan to one another about some state of affairs in the world, lets ask of each other – ok so are you doing anything about this thing you are moaning about? Anyone who replies ‘what am I suppose to be able to do about it’ just lacks imagination, courage or intelligence.
Be careful in your choice of career and go more for what my daughter has decided and less towards working with the likes of the arms trade, I am sorry but any person who works for technical development for the arms trade has sold his soul to the devil! Many Evils are done all the time in the name of the betterment of man and ‘spreading democracy’, so pick your path to the middle and pick it wisely and leave the world a better place for your passing, for me I am with the Scientologists, the most dedicated and hardcore, charitable and spiritual people I have ever known.
The status quo is working out sort of, the EU and UN are now established trying to further soft power aka diplomacy Vs the older hardpower aka war, but we have to pick up the tempo within our societies of doing a better job raising our kids and I am sorry when it comes to the current educational establishment I would have to refer you to Pink Floyds album the Wall. Our kids are just not being educated, now some even leave school without being able to read or write because Dyslexia is being used as an excuse to not be literate, excuse me we have found an excuse to not to have to learn how to read and write for our teenagers! are we now devolving back to apes?! (My sincerest apologies to those who do actually suffer from this condition for the ill being done by it’s name) come on already teach our kids please or we’ll do it ourselves?! come on who’s seriously buying all this? It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee, the worlds fucked and it needs fixing, being liberal and just looking out for ones own self ain’t making this a nicer place to be…. can we all get on with making some good honest wholesome change already in what ever way you see fit and if you work for the arms trade (for governments or street gangs) or are a drug dealer (street or medical) or pimp then it is time to just get to fuck!
The powers that be would prefer you to keep your work rest and play all separate, those who join religious orders inner sanctums draw all 3 from how they live there daily lives, so don’t expect to be able to judge any one of them with your own ideas of right and wrong. I am not saying they should not have to stick to laws but they do have a much higher regard for what is right over wrong which is actually a higher calling than obeying laws (the ‘accpeted’ means of being governed by the powers that be)
And while you march to the middle in your quest through life remember you can rebel a bit and live a bit and stand up and shout a bit, it’s been a while since we have had a Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King or Ghandi! Why IS that!!!! Why can we not stand up and ask why are we all doing so little to improve our lot, it’s easy to be self serving but as long as we get lost in banks concerns, their protectors – our government and the whole arms trade and the oil business and just being a mass of consumers the world ain’t getting any better so pick a more wholesome course of life and help protect and educate our young ones better, lend a hand and volunteer to a local group to help kids learn football, you might be training the next lead striker for your national team!!! Whatever you do make it more spiritual things than materialistic, bring up your kids in a happy safe home – that is the only reason why Scientologists do the hours they do – to make sure the honest man can have rights to and live through honest endeavor to the betterment of himself and others. This is a goal within the reach of man, if only he sought more spirituality in his conquest of being mighty, there is a great deal more happiness available in being serene than wielding power, but then the powerful don’t want to know or care about that but people in the arms trade should just be downright unpopular to everyone, no one is having a better life from what they are developing and building and the money involved and what else could be done with it?!?!? Pick your road to the middle while you rattle the cages a little but be aware that no matter the god you answer to or not this world WILL OR WILL NOT BE better for your having been here and when your time comes what will be your answer to this question, did you help or not, is the world better for you having passed through, maybe there is no God to be judged by in the end, but we will all be our own judge in the end and we’ll all know if we did well in our lives or not in our own inner hearts, maybe the idea about God is not so much about him being referred to as sending Christ or Mohammad as a prophet but about living a more spiritual life than a materialistic one. Maybe democracy wouldn’t be so messy if we weren’t so unruly, we need more community spirit, demands for local government reform and a voice of reason on the world stage, we all have it in us to spread some more light in the world – and for yourself that involves doing?
I would like to quote a few key points that have been voiced over the years by some pretty observant people.
Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. (April 1953, Washington, D.C.) Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. – JFK
So Although aggression can occur, I believe these conflicts aren’t necessarily because of our human nature but rather a result of human intellect – unbalanced intelligence, misuse of our intelligence, our imaginative faculty. HH Dalai Lama.
When I was 6 I asked my Mum why she worked so hard at being a Scientologist she said she witnessed a riot when she was a youngster and this was an obvious safe haven.
Religion will always be a double sided sword. With pro’s and con’s. I believe some expect too much off of there devoted members who pursue the religion fanatically.
Did you know ‘righteous’ enthusiasm in some cultures is considered to be unthinking insanity. People most susceptible to this are kids and religious and military members.
We also have an Islamic community who lives among us who is very religious and look upon us as degraded heretics and just barely tolerate our life styles. They have my respect for the ways in which they are spiritual to each other and less materialistic than we are in their own ways. (Islam has been subjected to it’s own abuses) In fact I think all clergies the world over deserve a round of applause for their efforts and if you think church reforms are slow or conservative, look at your governments. We all have a voice in the world through our churches, the meaning of church is actually a coming together of people. We are the Church of Scientology, we stand for greater rights for Man, and we are working to make this world a place where honest men can have rights to, to make a better civilization for us all to flourish and prosper in, now who wants to lend a hand?
For us in the west sorry right now it’s: First things first, the five things you check for and sort out before you go on the meds:
Vitamin deficiencies and correct if need be.
Excessive drug use, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, other drugs, street or medical? That may be affecting ones sleep or making it harder for you to get at least 7 or 8 hours of natural sleep every night. Or are through there excessive use causing a vitamin deficiency.
Regular exercise, ie 30 mins of pushing the heart rate up for a bit – every day!
Balanced diet, which is what is good for you and only you know if you listen to what your body is telling you we all need different amounts of sugars or proteins depending on our generic make up, so leave alone fad diets and start to live a lifestyle with a food intake that agrees with what is a balanced diet for you and if you don’t already know? Stop thinking about the meds till you do.
The removal of an obvious cause of constant immediate danger to ones own happiness and we’re not talking here about the odd tiff with the wife, we’re talking more the evil step Mum type stuff – so we mean just constant pressure and heart ache over trying to do well by this cause that is lost from the start, if it’s really that bad and you can’t man up to her and sort it out then dope up and live the dull life. An aside to any person who is honestly afflicted with a medical ill and is honestly able to better cope with life, it appalls me to see the evils being done in the name of what you have, I wish you all the best and I am happier for you in that you found some succor in the medication you take for whatever you have had to deal with in life either from within or without. It may be that there is another solution with less side effects but I could never comment on another persons state of mind.
If once the above is resolved, then and only then should medication be considered, and why this has to be explained to GPs is fucking beyond me. I have been very competently looked after in the NHS while I had to have an operation once and a couple of A & E incidents and I have always been impressed with the staff. GPs, seem almost as if they can’t be bothered. I love Britian’s NHS I just wish the Docs could provide us with a bit more life and vigor than medication.
But before we get to that stage, can we not have a happy and healthy cause in our lives that we believe in and are contributing to, nothing is worse than a stalemated cause, whether it’s you, your family, a charity, social betterment activity or Religion, get on a band wagon, be a player, live a life and have some fun on the way while you make this world a better place to be, in the best way you see fit. Bon Voyage.
In the final analysis, if your country is toppled tomorrow you will no longer have your national identity and this will bother some more than others, but hear this: religions don’t get toppled now a days if they are benevolent and can reform some, they are safe from attacks from governments as they have no standing armies. Join a Religion, you can easily lose it’s identity again but it cant be taken from by the government in any way. There are some who claim they are trying to arm Islam for a Jihad, can the West please already wake up and realize it needs to start being more spiritual and wholesome and that conquering the world and spreading democracy isn’t a very high calling anymore. The world over needs to be thankful for it’s churches and the spread of goodwill among us all and realize that some who already have more than they need are using religions in their power games, when they were made for the people and we can still come together and use them to forward common decency which I am sorry to say while we need democracy to be governed humanly right now it is a far cry from common decency.
There is no longer four estates general, a fifth one exists, it’s called the blogger.
