These are "constants".<BR/><BR/>Back at the old school house, the instructors viewed history in a linear line. That is we evolved from apes, or going back further, fish. Dozens of photographs were shown depicting, "gill flaps" on newborns. Can you imagine this? That was that, and so much for evolution theories.<BR/><BR/>No, the instructors where much more concerned about where this industrial evironment was taking us and the consenquences of it. The elites and war have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years and neither one had a dramatic impact on population. That is, not like the impact (die-off), they foresaw coming.<BR/><BR/>So in conclusion, the instructors viewed a chaotic descent of mankind, as they thought it was chaotic, (or natural) to become who we are today. They would not rule out anything like war or the power of the elites in contributing to this descent. However, they viewed this as mere consenquences (war,TPTB) of a chaotic collapse and humankind would either become extinct or evolve into something other than "modern man".<BR/><BR/>Now, I've said more than a mouthful here.....<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-28369312123301029382008-03-03T12:17:00.000-08:002008-03-03T12:17:00.000-08:00Far: yeah, Gold doesn't buy food if there isn't an...Far: yeah, Gold doesn't buy food if there isn't any food, BUT that assumes that the elite don't have a plan to eliminate competition for the food they already have under their control (foreign sourced, owned by corporations).<BR/>Chaos is fractal. Every region will have its own factors to consider (the spades are a good example, applied locally). I expect regional disassociation of the country.<BR/>When they declare Martial Law in Da U.P., does that mean they closed the road?

If there was ever a entity attempting to control a decline, and I tend to be skeptical, they lost control a long time ago.<BR/><BR/>But… the "moneyed elites" have trained themselves to pretty much think no further than to the end of the next quarterly reporting period. Politicians think as far as the next election. That's certainly consistent with what we've seen — we knew this day was coming for 30 years, after all, and what did our "leaders" say? “Oh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." The rest of us pretty much came along for the ride.<BR/><BR/>Many of the conspiracy theories you hear nowadays were also put forth in the Y2K days: Y2K was being deliberately engineered by TPTB, and they would use it to assume complete control. But when you started looking at what they're saying, you'd often find that they contradicted themselves in subtle but real ways. I coined a word, "spazz," to describe what happened when such folks were presented with hard evidence contradicting their views: they clung desperately to their original beliefs. (Contrast with "fluff," the inability to comprehend evidence. Fluff Is Not Spazz.)<BR/><BR/>Logically, the elites have more to lose than we do — much of their wealth is electronic, and electronics require power, and power requires fuel. They're less able than we are to fend for themselves, too. What happens to them when money doesn't buy them anything?Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.com
