The Senior Moment Weblog DotCom January 2, 2008
Previous Notes: I've set a goal for myself to reach folks that could most use an e-commerce venue, i.e., the ability to work from home and earn at least minimum wage. I'm thinking of retired seniors that find inflation eating into their fixed income, but there are also single moms that struggle to survive while farming out their role as "mom." Of course, there are many others caught in similar economic trap. I've written and talked on this topic frequently and I have much more to say.

This is in the WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS SOONER? department. Why not do podcasts that double as tutorials? So... First on deck: Turn A ScreenShot BMP Into A JPG that can be effortlessly inserted into a webpage. Podcast #20c will be the prototype for this concept.

Bumper Music:
A vinyl album: Hawaii Calls: Favorite Instrumentals Of The Islands, with Al Kealoha Perry. Presented by Webley Edwards on Capitol Records. It was recorded in the early 1950s and there was no registration or copyright information on the record jacket so it has become Public Domain. I started the show with Drifting & Dreaming and concluded with Hawaii Farewell Song (Aloha Oe).

With George W. Bush, I think we're experiencing sibling rivalry played out on a grand scale. It reminds me of the ill-fated Kennedy's in which John and Bobby grew up painfully living in the shadow of their favored brother, Joe Jr. You often see this sort of thing in powerful families and, as with the Kennedy's, it frequently turns out badly.

In the Bush case, apparently the favored son is Jeb, and I believe George W (with all his problems and failures) wasn't expected to amount to much. This had to cause him some deep-seated resentment.

His mother was quoted publicly saying she didn't think son George could beat Ann Richardson in the Texas gubernatorial race, and on several occasions the elder Bush, notably when with his son, Jeb, broke down and sobbed in public.

This show of emotion seems to be triggered by reminders of huge presidential problems but not as sympathy for George W ...by now he must be reconciled to his son's harsh criticism and plummeting popularity polls. Rather it brings home the fact his favored son, Jeb, has now lost forever the chance to complete the Bush family legacy.

I think some of the George W. dumb mistakes and angry comments, e.g., "The constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper", etc., are subliminally motivated to sabotage his own family. US citizens and soldiers in Iraq are along for the ride.

Former President and Mrs. Bush didn't take it into account that the Fed would pour HUGE bucks behind George W (via companies such as ENRON) knowing he could be manipulated into pushing their global agenda. He hasn't disappointed them even as his popularity numbers have gone into the dumper. And now, it's interesting to watch the Democrats tip-toe away from the mandate that brought them into power. I think, however, they too have their orders.

I suspect the Bush parents worry that it's happening too fast and too soon. Perhaps they fear a US rebellion that will bring disgraced to the family. I don't think they need to worry. The candidates are doing a great job of keeping us entertained with Red Herrings such issues as gay marriage, the female reproductive system, and other such intellectual pablum. I'm not discounting the importance of such issues, but they pale in importance to the death and destruction in (for example) Iraq.

The more I think about it, the more I think we should just relax and expect the Feds to complete their globalization dream; it has probably passed the point of no-return and who knows how it will come out! The Feds don't want to deal with a US rebellion, so they'll keep us happy with lots of toys to play with and silly issues to satisfy people like me that need to rant and rave.

I think these bankers are within striking distance of bringing the Middle East under their control. They are also preparing to open US borders and heaven knows what else they have in-store for us. I think first they need significant numbers of us implanted with a chip--and that seems to be progressing rapidly. For a hint, type RFID into Google and count the pages.

If I'm right, it's gonna be a hellofa ride.

These ideas have been stimulated by a serious threat to freedom from the World Bank cartel. This grew out of the private control of the US Federal Reserve System in 1913. The cast of characters include bankers J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, Warburg, et al.

Even for me, this isn't from recent observations. I first read of it in the 1970s, The King Makers ...but back then I thought it was an exaggeration or perhaps even a conspiracy theory.

Next, I read The New World Order (Pat Robinson's book), but at the time, I thought Robinson was a fundamentalist nut ...until the NWO concept morphed into Wolfowitz Doctrine, then the Bush Doctrine, and then Wolfowitz was picked to head the World Bank.

Long before that, I wondered why a young alcoholic with little personal success, 4 FTC violations, etc. would be picked from a stack of worthy resumes to become Governor of Texas, and gad, then the US President?! The election of President Bush only makes sense in light of the PNAC & SPP groups led by William Kristol, et al., a major New World Order figure--along with Rumsfeld and Cheney. 

The SPP is now building a major highway with a straight shot between Mexico and Canada (we can forget about immigration control) ...and there are all the other signs of globalization (Fed ID Card the RFID chip) that are now moving rapidly and on schedule.  Listen to this 1990s (Republican) Bush 41 clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc7i0wCFf8g  Then listen to the (Republican) Lou Dobbs clip: http://www.aim.org/static/5351_0_7_0_C/

Another topic: The explanation I've heard for not letting Israel take care of Iran, which they could do in a heartbeat, ...these bankers don't want Israelites to have that kind of power in the Middle East. The Middle East situation (including Israel) apparently must be controlled before the NWO agenda can be put into place. It appears, with the fall of the entire Middle East, the battle will be over as far as globalization is concerned.

Many people remain oblivious of the huge US project (said to be an embassy) now under construction in Baghdad. The budget is half a billion, but based on size only, the final price tag will be many times that amount. It's said to be comparable in size and number of structures to the Vatican.

Russo's Freedom To Fascism documentary tied up many lose ends for me and provided solid documentation. [Ed. Note: unfortunately this documentary is no longer available on-line. The DVD can still be purchased.] Russo has some very serious health issues so (IMO) this could be a SwanSong effort--I don't think he would have produced such a documentary otherwise.

 [Ed. Note: 08-08-07] A very sad note: Aaron Russo was a true Freedom Fighter. He passed away on August 24, 2007. http://www.newswithviews.com/Yates/steven30.htm

I just added Zeitgeist The Movie to the links below. It's available on-line. It carries the same message as the Russo documentary which spans a century, but Zeitgeist begins its time-line before the time of Christ.

It's almost prophetic that globalization and the resources of the World Bank might be the only solution remaining to prevent a bloody religious war ...I've heard that people like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds tend to be atheists--which in this situation is probably a good thing.

Sadly, it's probably too late to do as Russo suggests at the conclusion of his film. It seems to me we're getting what we deserve by voting for presidents as one might vote for a  high school prom queen. The grass-roots has squandered most of the power it once had.

PC 19c ShowNotes: This may be my last well-documented political rant. I discuss the abuse of a world banking system that grew out of the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. I believe this banking cartel has continued to move us toward globalization, a concept most presidential and congressional politicians have meekly accepted. I discuss the pros and cons of the RFID chip. I also talk briefly about immigration and global warming. I continue to keep this section more or less up-to-date.

I finished up a time-consuming contract so now there's more time to devote to WDS Library and this blog. I finally bit-the-bullet and added some Google ads--I hated to clutter-up an already cluttered-up webpage, but one on one must do what one must do, doesn't one?

Got it done! Here's the ID3 tag: "I have a growing sense of anger at a bureaucracy that ignores people in trouble, and the rip-off artists that robs them of their last few dollars. I offered a 1950s example that is a classic symbolic of the current rip-off scams, maybe the grand-daddy of the MLM scam. I offer a link that lists the current internet scams offering the opportunity to have your intelligence insulted multiple times all from one website."
