The Science of Getting Rich: CHAPTER VII [excerpt] by Wallace D. Wattles #Gratitude
---
Gratitude
THE ILLUSTRATIONS GIVEN IN THE LAST CHAPTER will have conveyed to the reader the fact that the first step toward getting rich is to convey the idea of your wants to the formless substance.
This is true, and you will see that in order to do so it becomes necessary to relate yourself to the formless intelligence in a harmonious way.
To secure this harmonious relation is a matter of such primary and vital importance that I shall give some space to its discussion here and give you instructions which, if you will follow them, will be certain to bring you into perfect unity of mind with the supreme power, or God.
The whole process of mental adjustment and atunement can be summed up in one word:
Gratitude.
First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude.
Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the wires which connect them with him by failing to make acknowledgment.
It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive, and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to him in thankful acknowledgment. The more gratefully we fix our minds on the supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come. And the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.
If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true. The good things you have already have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come, and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought.
Gratitude alone can keep you looking toward the all, and prevent you from falling into the error of thinking of the supply as limited — and to do that would be fatal to your hopes.
There is a law of gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law if you are to get the results you seek. The law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal and in opposite directions.
The grateful outreaching of your mind in thankful praise to the supreme intelligence is a liberation or expenditure of force. It cannot fail to reach that to which it addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement toward you.
“Draw nigh unto God, and he will draw nigh unto you.” That is a statement of psychological truth. And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in formless substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you. Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took, how he always seems to be saying, “I thank thee, Father, that thou hearest me.” You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power.
But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future.
Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.
The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, the squalid, and the mean — and your mind takes the form of these things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the formless. And the common, the poor, the squalid, and the mean will come to you.
To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things. On the other hand, to fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best. The creative power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention. We are of thinking substance, too, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.
The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.
Also, faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon one’s own mind produces faith, and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. The person who has no feeling of gratitude cannot long retain a living faith, and without a living faith you cannot get rich by the creative method, as we shall see in the following chapters.
It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
Do not waste a lot of time thinking or talking about the shortcomings or wrong actions of those in power. Their organization of the world has created your opportunity; all you get really comes to you because of them. Do not rage against corrupt politicians. If it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy and your opportunity would be greatly lessened.
God has worked a long time and very patiently to bring us up to where we are in industry and government, and he is going right on with his work. There is not the least doubt that he will do away with plutocrats, trust magnates, captains of industry, and politicians as soon as they can be spared, but in the meantime, they are all very necessary. Remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you, and be grateful. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.

$SPX quarterly chart, reason to be alarmed? Or just careful

Ok here's that $SPX quarterly chart I spoke about awhile back..
Of course with the involvement of governments & central banks no one can possibly predict what's going to happen next but..
This sure looks familiar..

Fibonacci #magic for #trading #FX
---
Haven't actually done a trading post for awhile :)
Learning to incorporate multiple golden ratio [161.8] fib levels into every single #trade you take "may" dramatically improve your returns.
This is done with proper placement, usage, of multiple fibs on multiple time frames.
It sounds complicated but once you know how to properly draw fibs & practice it for awhile it becomes quite natural feeling.
You have to realize that markets are fractal in nature. There are moves within moves within moves (as our EW friends know well ;)
Being able to see & understand the current condition of a particular pair on multiple time frames is the key.
For me there are several very important fib levels. They are 23.6 [I call it the stop hunt zone], 61.8 [often ping pong area with 23.6], 88.6 [support where you least expect it], 127.2 & the magical 161.8
23.6 [stop out zone]
61.8 [range area between 23.6 & 61.8]
88.6 [is sneaky, be aware of it]
127.2 [a great spot to take partial profits (if you haven't taken some already)]
161.8 [I call this a completion move, look for a possible reversal]
I'm using this mornings $USDJPY trade as an example of how this might be done.
First lets analyze the current condition on h4.
-Click charts for larger image-
Here's the m15 with some smaller time frame fibs
Learning to properly use fibs to gauge the current condition of PA on any time frame is invaluable.
Even down to m1..
Here is all the documentation for my system (minus the fib lesson)

@WalMart Alcohol #policy = #corporate idiocy @briancnick
---
[For reference Joplin, MO.]
As much as I dislike giving personal information on the blog I admit that we do our weekly shopping, grocery and otherwise, at @WalMart (Actually we like WalMart ;)
This is a post about what we experienced there today.
We go usually every Saturday and our disabled 29 year old son goes with us. Today we also had our 14 year old granddaughter too. We bought a couple boxes of wine with our groceries, as we do every week. I went to get a drink of water and when I got back Mrs Warrior was pissed.. lol Apparently the gal checking us out had refused to sell the wine to Mrs Warrior because the checker carded our 29 year old son who did not have his ID with him.
???
We asked for a manager & got a CSM (Customer Service Manager) who informed us that, yes indeed it is WalMart #policy to ask for ID from an entire group if the sale includes alcohol?
We asked for a store manager lol
We got an assistant store manager to discuss the situation with. He explained to us that they had some "new policies" yet he didn't attempt at all to defend the policy we were being confronted with.
I asked him, if our 29 year old son had been at home & only our (obviously minor) 14 year old granddaughter had been with us would I have been carded? To which he responded no.
At that point making their policy If Mrs Warrior is, attempting to, buy wine, with proper ID, then her 29 year old son who looks as if he might be under 40 should be carded & if he doesn't have any ID the alcohol sale should be denied. But if our 14 year old granddaughter is with us she is not to be IDed because she is a minor.
I'm sorry but, what?
Anyway the assistant store manager decided he didn't have a problem with us buying wine so we did manage that ;)
This is just so wrong on so many levels.. I understand it's a bleeding heart PR effort on the part of WalMart so as to seem as if they are "protecting our children". I think I even understand how the corporate masterminds intended (good intentions & all that) for it to go down.. I mean face it.. A group of 5 come through the line with a case of beer, a bottle of vodka and some chips. They're acting stupid like they just smoked a blunt and 4 of them look 18 or younger but the one buying is 21 with proper ID.
What do you do if you are a responsible corporate retailer?
Obviously, to me anyway, your responsibility is to follow the letter of the law. Which is no alcohol sales to anyone under legally determined age, period.
What is not WalMart's job is law enforcement, period.
WalMart has NO business trying to "guess" or "predict" what the intentions of a, legal, purchaser of alcohol might be once they leave the store. How the heck could they possibly do that in reality?
I checked and WalMart's official alcohol policy, plus a little store policy, is anyone who looks under 40 is to be carded when buying alcohol, period.
But I also saw this story from Ames Iowa -quoted
---
In an email to Davis, someone from Wal-Mart's customer service department told him the chain was experimenting with new ways to thwart underage drinking.
"In order to ensure that alcoholic beverages and tobacco are not sold to minors, Walmart is testing point-of-sale age checks in some locations across the country," the statement read. -emphasis mine
--- end quote
Here's a link to the full story Wal-Mart: Worker wrong to refuse alcohol sale
Mrs Warrior called the store & talked to the store manager who told us Walmart alcohol policy is to check ID & not sell to anyone underage.
Which I am PERFECTLY fine with, by the way.
But what is strange to me is that "someone" had to have impressed upon both the (relatively new) checker AND the "Customer Service Manager" that they were to card an entire group of people if alcohol is involved (and I guess if the (minimum wage) checker is "suspicious" (def: having the belief or impression that someone is involved in an illegal or dishonest activity)).
I rather doubt the two employees came up with their own alcohol policy over lunch.
Don't you?

For those who purchased #ProfitableFX (is it millions yet? LMAO) here's a #trade walkthrough in charts
---
Here is the EURUSD m15 chart on which the m1 long correction trade was based
--Click charts for larger image--
Where / why the (long) entries were set up
Trade progression
Closing the trade
Trade aftermath
---
I sincerely hope everyone who has purchased #ProfitableFX is having a positive experience with it. Feedback & questions are always welcome, please address to @Ancient_Warrior on @twitter
If you have not yet purchased ProfitableFX you may do so here for ONLY $5.99 worthless USD #fiat! It clearly explains how to set up and use the system and includes many charts.
Why so cheap?
Because it is my personal desire to get this winning system (I'm doing about 80% winners & about 2,000 pips per month) into as many hands as possible because it's our best way to get back at those thieving Too Big To Fail (Jail) #Banks and the Primary Dealers who control AT LEAST 73% of forex volume!
When if there is sufficient demand I hope to produce an "Essential Fibonacci" document at a later date which would explain in full the proper use of fibonacci.
Thanks and best of luck everyone

Fourth is finished; what about its meaning? By Herb Van Fleet
---
Just thought this was pretty profound myself.. See what you think?
So the underlying importance of the Declaration of Independence was not just to proclaim a separation from Great Britain, though that was certainly a critical part. It was to turn the prevailing form of governance in Europe and the colonies on its head. No more divine rights of kings, no more monarchies, autocracies, oligarchies, plutocracies or despotic tyrants. Ours would be a government that must acquiesce to the will of the people and the people alone.
That then brings up the question that should be asked every Fourth of July: Is our country operating by the consent of the governed as intended, or have the governed been replaced by the elites, the lobbyists, the political parties, the military-industrial complex, the too-big-to-fail banks, the government bureaucracies and the self-indulgent politicians?
Unfortunately, the fact that we the people give Congress an approval rating of 13 percent yet re-elect 95 percent of incumbents makes the answer incoherent.

#Congressionally authorized #cyber #crime via the Check 21 Act (In even MORE layman's terms) Protect yourself!
---
This happened to someone close to me & what I am discovering about it is absolutely outrageous!
I submit: Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, aka “Check 21”
was passed unanimously by the House of Representatives and the Senate in October 2003. It was signed by President George W. Bush on October 28, 2003 and became effective October 28, 2004.
Here's the deal in a nutshell with information & further reading linked below..
Apparently #Congress had a desire in 2003 to "make it easier for business to accept checks as payment over the telephone". As is normally the case when congress / #government becomes involved with business / banks the "unintended consequences" of this can be very harmful to #consumers financial health while remediation can be extremely difficult.
I realize that "checks" are a somewhat antiquated form of payment these days but why on earth would congress use LAW to SIMPLIFY the act of committing fraud?!
Many Americans "like to think" the government is looking out for us when it comes to cyber crime when in reality #they seem to be making the commision of these crimes EASIER!
As a result of the Check 21 law a person needs ONLY the checking account routing number and account number to create a "demand draft" which can be used to withdraw any amount of funds from the account. NO proof of ID is required! NO PIN is required! No security measure exist at all. This is completely rediculous! Those two numbers are found on the bottom of every check. Every check a person writes passes through God only knows how many hands of how many people who happen to be underwater and under employed!
As a result of this Check 21 Act "law" here is what happened to someone close to me / us..
Someone we know accidently left their checkbook in a cart at a retailer, we all make mistakes on occasion. When, a short time later, they realized they had done this they returned to the store and fortunately were able to retrieve their checkbook and all seemed fine.
All seemed fine UNTIL they discovered that ALL the fiat (ie; FAKE MONEY) in their checking account had been COMPLETELY withdrawn! And not ONLY that but apparently when the bank was asked, BY the perpetrator, for the balance on the account the bank always & automatically INCLUDES the amount of overdraft protection IN the balance! In this case that amounted to an additional $600.00 worth of FAKE FIAT that DIDN'T EVEN EXIST being REMOVED from the account!
To add insult to injury the "victim" of the crime's employer uses direct deposit so the bank grabbed the $600.00 overdraft charge out of their NEXT paycheck!
We called our bank to be able to better understand the situation and were informed that using a demand draft, with its complete lack of security, is one of the top cyber crime / identity theft techniques in use today.
The #bank in question is attempting to discover the IP address of the computer used to create the demand draft but also stating that finding the IP address may be a very difficult task if they can do it at all.
So where does all this leave the "victim" of the crime?
With an EMPTY checking account while an "investigation" is underway that may take up to 45 days and may result in pretty much nothing! In the mean time they are on their own, with NO funds, 4 mouths to feed and bills to pay!
This is a security outrage perpetrated on us by the government itself through LAW!
When this is combined with other congressional actions such as the abolishment of #usury laws in the 1980's (1978, Marquette vs. First of Omaha – Supreme Court allows banks to export the usury laws of their home state nationwide and sets off a competitive wave of deregulation, resulting in the complete elimination of usury rate ceilings in South Dakota and Delaware, among others.), the overhaul of #bankruptcy laws in 2005, the bailing out of the Too Big To Fail (Jail) banks who caused the 2008 crash and God only knows what else one can begin to see a pattern emerge that certainly seems to make congress itself complicit in many of the problems being experienced by Americans today.. God help us all.

Here's the definition of a demand draft from investopedia.com click here for the source)
Definition of 'Demand Draft'
A method used by individuals to make transfer payments from one bank account to another. Demand drafts are marketed as a relatively secure method for cashing checks. The major difference between demand drafts and normal checks is that demand drafts do not require a signature in order to be cashed.
Also known as "remotely created checks".
Investopedia explains 'Demand Draft'
Demand drafts were originally designed to benefit legitimate telemarketers who needed to withdraw funds from customer checking accounts. However, the lack of a signature required to authorize the transfers have left demand drafts open to fraudulent use. The only information needed to create a demand draft is a bank account number and a bank routing number - this information is found on a standard check.
In 2005, the Federal Reserve proposed new regulations over the fraudulent use of demand drafts. The regulation increases a victim's ability to claim a refund and makes banks more accountable for cashing fraudulent checks.

[Below is an excerpt from an online articles at perimetergrid.com click here for the full article)
Some people — usually those of us who remember the days before debit cards — eschew all these fancy online and electronic forms of payment and instead stick to good old fashioned checks. After all, no one can possibly steal those! They’re paper, and have your signature on them. This is the ultimate in perception differing from reality — it’s hard to imagine a less secure way to make a payment than a paper check.
First of all, there’s the ease of committing fraud with checks. A thief with a stolen check (or deposit slip) has all they need to take money from your account — the routing number and account number (found at the bottom of the check in MICR letters.) Note that the thief doesn’t need any kind of ID… or a PIN… or a physical card… or a CCv2 code… or even to know your name. No, the numbers will do. What can they do with a stolen check?
There are three basic things:
Order up a whole book of checks with your information and account numbers on them. No ID is required to order checkbooks online. They can then spend these checks anywhere, and the bank will process them — you probably won’t find out until your account is empty and you start getting NSF notices.
Remove the amount and recipient from the check and write it out to themselves instead. This is a bigger problem for institutional checks, which are often printed on a laser printer. It’s really easy to remove laser-printed text from an offset-printed check — just lay some Scotch tape over the laser text, rub it hard with your fingernail, and peel the text off. Then you can print out a new amount and recipient with your own laser printer, and it looks just like the real thing. Chemical agents (“check washing”) can do this with ball-point pen ink, too, though it’s not so easy.
Issue a demand draft (“paperless check.”) This is what happens when you pay by phone with your checking account number, or use an automated bill pay service, or send money via PayPal. Using your routing number and account number, money is simply removed from your account and put into someone else’s. No authorization or authentication is used, your name is not even required. Yes, really. Anyone can do this from any account to any other account. For a while, you used to be able to do this from a web site.
Second, there’s the difficulty in getting your money back or even stopping the fraud! With a credit card (and to a lesser extent, a debit card), it’s pretty simple — you call the bank, say you did not authorize a charge, and the credit card company removes the charge. It is then up to them to prove you did make the charge, such as by getting a signed receipt from the merchant and matching your signature. So long as you report the fraud within 30 days, you are not liable — the worst the card company can do to you is to cancel your card (but you still don’t have to pay for the charge you didn’t make.) In theory, you’re liable for up to $50, but almost no card issuers really charge this since it’s terrible customer service (“Sorry you were stolen from! Give us $50!”)
With checks, the money is already gone. If you report a check as fraudulent, there is no federal law saying the bank is liable — it’s up to the bank’s own policies and in some cases a hodgepodge of state laws whether they have to help you at all. The bank may get back to you in 60 to 90 days (during which you don’t have the money, even if it was the entire contents of your checking account.) You have to report the fraud on a paper letter, with a notarized signature, usually by certified mail. What’s more, you have to prove that the checks were not authorized — the burden of proof is on you, not the bank or merchant — and you have to do it to each party from which you’re trying to reclaim money. If a thief wrote bad checks in 20 different jurisdictions, you may be dealing with this for years.
Worse yet, you can’t stop the fraud from taking place. The thief can keep writing checks on your account even after you’ve started reporting them as fraud, and even after you’ve closed the account. Every time the thief writes a bad check on a closed account (the classic practice known as “paperhanging”, a favorite of Frank Abagnale during his criminal youth), your bank will reopen the account and send you an NSF notice. You have to dispute all of these, too. And finally, your account (and possibly your name) will go into ChexSystems (the equivalent of the credit bureaus used to check people’s checking account history) as fraudulent, which will make it difficult or impossible to get new checking accounts for many years. On the bright side, it will make it harder for the thief to open accounts in your name, but that’s little consolation since he can keep using the closed one he already has.
From a security perspective, checking accounts are horrid. They come from a day when authentication and authorization were unheard-of, and security came mainly from the idea that no one would figure out how to subvert the system.
What can you do to protect yourself?
Don’t use checks. If any method of payment is offered aside from checks, use that.
Don’t use demand drafts, either — they’re checks. Don’t pay by phone using a checking account number — use a credit/debit card.
If you must write paper checks, use them only to pay bills, dealing with relatively trusted merchants. It doesn’t make you totally safe, of course, but it helps some. Use gel ink to write checks (it’s harder to wash), or a dot-matrix printer to print them (the impact-printed ink is nigh-impossible to remove.) According to Abagnale’s The Art of the Steal, this makes check-washing nearly impossible (though ordering up new checks in your name still works.) Incidentally, The Art of the Steal is a fantastic (and very short) book, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in security — it gives a great view into the security mindset, looking at all parts of a system and seeing how it can be subverted.
Don’t store any more money in your checking account than you have to. You’ll still have to fight every fraudulent transaction to stop the bank trying to collect it from you, but at least you’ll still have your money while you’re doing it.
The sooner we move on from this antiquated and unsafe payment system, the better.
This happened to someone close to me & what I am discovering about it is absolutely outrageous!
I submit: Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, aka “Check 21”
was passed unanimously by the House of Representatives and the Senate in October 2003. It was signed by President George W. Bush on October 28, 2003 and became effective October 28, 2004.
Here's the deal in a nutshell with information & further reading linked below..
Apparently #Congress had a desire in 2003 to "make it easier for business to accept checks as payment over the telephone". As is normally the case when congress / #government becomes involved with business / banks the "unintended consequences" of this can be very harmful to #consumers financial health while remediation can be extremely difficult.
I realize that "checks" are a somewhat antiquated form of payment these days but why on earth would congress use LAW to SIMPLIFY the act of committing fraud?!
Many Americans "like to think" the government is looking out for us when it comes to cyber crime when in reality #they seem to be making the commision of these crimes EASIER!
As a result of the Check 21 law a person needs ONLY the checking account routing number and account number to create a "demand draft" which can be used to withdraw any amount of funds from the account. NO proof of ID is required! NO PIN is required! No security measure exist at all. This is completely rediculous! Those two numbers are found on the bottom of every check. Every check a person writes passes through God only knows how many hands of how many people who happen to be underwater and under employed!
As a result of this Check 21 Act "law" here is what happened to someone close to me / us..
Someone we know accidently left their checkbook in a cart at a retailer, we all make mistakes on occasion. When, a short time later, they realized they had done this they returned to the store and fortunately were able to retrieve their checkbook and all seemed fine.
All seemed fine UNTIL they discovered that ALL the fiat (ie; FAKE MONEY) in their checking account had been COMPLETELY withdrawn! And not ONLY that but apparently when the bank was asked, BY the perpetrator, for the balance on the account the bank always & automatically INCLUDES the amount of overdraft protection IN the balance! In this case that amounted to an additional $600.00 worth of FAKE FIAT that DIDN'T EVEN EXIST being REMOVED from the account!
To add insult to injury the "victim" of the crime's employer uses direct deposit so the bank grabbed the $600.00 overdraft charge out of their NEXT paycheck!
We called our bank to be able to better understand the situation and were informed that using a demand draft, with its complete lack of security, is one of the top cyber crime / identity theft techniques in use today.
The #bank in question is attempting to discover the IP address of the computer used to create the demand draft but also stating that finding the IP address may be a very difficult task if they can do it at all.
So where does all this leave the "victim" of the crime?
With an EMPTY checking account while an "investigation" is underway that may take up to 45 days and may result in pretty much nothing! In the mean time they are on their own, with NO funds, 4 mouths to feed and bills to pay!
This is a security outrage perpetrated on us by the government itself through LAW!

Some [economic & otherwise] discussion between a good friend & I

Some discussion between a good friend & I..
You are on the right track & asking the right questions..
"Then there is this deflation I don’t really understand. Energy prices are up. CL still moving around at high levels and NG over time coming from 1800 all the way up to an average 4500. This would be inflationary in general even without QE. So where is this deflation and where should we see it. I am sure as hell it’s not in prices when housing prices are not taken in account."
I think FED (central banks) are USING commodity prices to stop the deflation that the world's economy requires to heal. Think about it.. What better way to create inflation than to keep everyone's input costs very high? When / if you are a business you cannot lower prices due to deflationary pressures when your input costs remain very high. So the easiest way for central banksters to control prices (price stability my ass) is to control commodity prices. All developed economies are carbon based.. when oil prices stay high there is NO WAY anyone can reduce prices without taking losses & no one wants to do that.
"TV’s and stuff out of china could be deflationary but that is just a part of the whole package."
This DOES NOT COUNT! I have looked at & thought about electronics a lot. The standard "rules" of supply & demand do not apply to electronics at all. Why not? Because the "supply" of plastic & cheap electronics can never be an issue. This is why the electronics sector acts in a way that is the REVERSE of supply & demand.. In other words the more "demand" there is for a (cheaply manufactured) plastic/electronic gadget (ie; iPhone, etc) the lower the price goes.. New technology that has not very much demand is very high priced.. That is the OPPOSITE of how true supply & demand works. I mean think about it.. Retailers constantly give plastic away for free.. (plastic bags, plastic trays, plastic buttons, etc) Plastic is very cheap & can be molded into ANY shape desired. Supply & demand does NOT apply.. It's a trick #they have come up with. An inexhaustible supply of junk made from plastic that sheeple are dying to own to help the NSA SPY on them.
"Its all about the next step. Will it be war so we can start over the whole cycle like we did after WWII or is it going to be something else??"
WWII was an entirely different situation.. Back then nearly everyone was a sheeple & governments, including Germany, could play the patriotism card & the sheeple would follow. I don't think it's like that anymore. When Obama wanted to bomb Syria the American people said very loudly NO, no more war! Patriotism still exists but it has changed as people no longer trust their own governments. It is much easier now to see the pure propaganda #they spew out for what it is.
"Will the Sheeple except a raid on their money by the IMF or do we have to wait until the common man realizes pensions are gone."
#They will, and are now, come after the worthless fiat in an attempt to keep the ponzi game going, yes. The status quo will stop at nothing to retain their own power & wealth. And "stop at nothing" means what it says..
In the end I say the economy / capitalism REQUIRES deflation to flush the greed & corruption from the system but that CANNOT be allowed by the elite / status quo because if we had real deflation the entire existing status quo system would collapse and there is simply too much at stake for the power players for them to allow that to happen.
So yes.. it is likely war that will be tried next.. Mostly so governments can dramatically increase spending and support large industries directly..

This morning I have a long trade on $GBPUSD based on possible h4 / h1 correction due to short term bearish 161.8 (golden ratio) completion move. This completion move, when / if correctly drawn, indicates that at least a short term correction may be required.
GBPUSD h4 chart

GBPUSD h1 chart
http://www.mql5.com/en/charts/1866460/gbpusd-h1-hf-markets-ltd-long-trade-based-on-bearish-161-8
And finally an entry is taken on m1 We can see long term HULL MA is in a bullish state with good support represented by 200 & 62 (=15 second 200 ema) with an add to the position near the long term HULL Solid break of long term HULL lower would invalidate this trade as such a break would open the possibility of a 261.8 fib completion. I will add stop losses later in case the add is achieved on long term HULL.

A "comment", found on the net.. #ClivenBundy

Hmmmm.. things do seem to be getting "interesting"..
Greg

Comment found on the net below this line..
Assume that some of the new "Patriot Help" arriving in Nevada under the guise of militia are actually a few govt Jockeys dressed up like average Joe's to gather intelligence, create confusion, and basically gum up the works.
For a push against the American people, they chose the ground well. Deserts and plains are shit conditions to fight in, especially for new folks. It is an entirely different form of warfare than urban fighting, or even rural or mountain fighting. Open ground is a big no-no for infantry types of operations, especially folks without heavy ordinance, and there's little in the way of cover. We are going into the hot season there, and easy access to water is also a factor. Open ground with little to no cover makes patriots vulnerable from attacks via air. Of all of the terrains America has to offer, THIS terrain is the LEAST preferable or hospitable one to our purposes. An accident of fate? Me thinks not.....
If they come back for another push? Some ways to combat this?
1) Open new fronts ALL OVER AMERICA SIMULTANIOUSLY. If they attack our people, then a state of war exists. And every building that houses feds OR supports them needs to be seiged. Every last jackass that collects a federal paycheck or carries a federal ID will now be the enemy of the American people, I don't care if they're custodians, secretaries or cafeteria workers. They do the SUPPORT WORK THAT ENABLES THIS BALLBAGGERY, so they are every bit as guilty as the douches on the ground that are endangering American families. If they do federal bidding in ANY capacity, they are FEDS. Period. Their DEGREE of service no longer means dick.
2) Afford these jagoffs NO MORE ANONIMITY. The names, addresses, email addresses and such, of EVERY JACKASS on the ground in Nevada needs to be posted ALL OVER THE NET. As each incident occurs, ALL federal players need to be outed. No more anonimity! No more hiding behind masks, or no ID on their shirts, screw that. Anonimity is one of their greatest assets in subjugating us, and that needs to be taken away from them in short order. I wish i was more technically astute, as i have no idea how to even come across this kind of info, but i'll wager SOMEBODY OUT THERE in this network knows how to shake that kind of info loose, or knows someone that does. Wanna stop em dead in their tracks? THIS is the way to do it. They will be hesitant to shoot at OUR families when thy know that THEIR FAMILIES are on the line as well. That may smack of dirty pool, but hey.... WE didn't initiate this; THEY did. We didn't come after them, THEY came after us, and now present a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to American families.
The time for combating this nuisance via our intellects and reason is over....... If they come for our people, not an argument made on their behalf that pines for restraint, compassion or compromise...... They will have declared war on us.
My comments and sentiments can easily be viewed as controversial, and may be a tad aggressive for some tastes. But if they are about to declare all-out war on Americans, we had damn well better be ready to respond in kind, and quickly.

Open ground is a big no-no for infantry types of operations, especially folks without heavy ordinance, and there's little in the way of cover. We are going into the hot season there, and easy access to water is also a factor. Open ground with little to no cover makes patriots vulnerable from attacks via air. Of all of the terrains America has to offer, THIS terrain is the LEAST preferable or hospitable one to our purposes. An accident of fate? Me thinks not.....
If they come back for another push? Some ways to combat this?
1) Open new fronts ALL OVER AMERICA SIMULTANIOUSLY. If they attack our people, then a state of war exists. And every building that houses feds OR supports them needs to be seiged. Every last jackass that collects a federal paycheck or carries a federal ID will now be the enemy of the American people, I don't care if they're custodians, secretaries or cafeteria workers. They do the SUPPORT WORK THAT ENABLES THIS BALLBAGGERY, so they are every bit as guilty as the douches on the ground that are endangering American families. If they do federal bidding in ANY capacity, they are FEDS. Period. Their DEGREE of service no longer means dick.
2) Afford these jagoffs NO MORE ANONIMITY. The names, addresses, email addresses and such, of EVERY JACKASS on the ground in Nevada needs to be posted ALL OVER THE NET. As each incident occurs, ALL federal players need to be outed. No more anonimity! No more hiding behind masks, or no ID on their shirts, screw that. Anonimity is one of their greatest assets in subjugating us, and that needs to be taken away from them in short order. I wish i was more technically astute, as i have no idea how to even come across this kind of info, but i'll wager SOMEBODY OUT THERE in this network knows how to shake that kind of info loose, or knows someone that does. Wanna stop em dead in their tracks? THIS is the way to do it. They will be hesitant to shoot at OUR families when thy know that THEIR FAMILIES are on the line as well. That may smack of dirty pool, but hey.... WE didn't initiate this; THEY did. We didn't come after them, THEY came after us, and now present a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to American families.
The time for combating this nuisance via our intellects and reason is over....... If they come for our people, not an argument made on their behalf that pines for restraint, compassion or compromise...... They will have declared war on us.
My comments and sentiments can easily be viewed as controversial, and may be a tad aggressive for some tastes. But if they are about to declare all-out war on Americans, we had damn well better be ready to respond in kind, and quickly.

The Book of Enoch was omitted from the canon of scripture by the early church councils and is and rejected by theologians today, yet the lineage of Enoch is mentioned in Genesis.
And all things on the earth shall alter,
And shall not appear in their time:
And the moon shall alter her order,
And not appear at her time.
And in those days the sun shall be seen and he shall journey in the evening on the extremity of the great chariot in the west
And shall shine more brightly than accords with the order of light.
And many chiefs of the stars shall transgress the order (prescribed).
And these shall alter their orbits and tasks,
And not appear at the seasons prescribed to them.
And the whole order of the stars shall be concealed,
And the thoughts of those on the earth shall err concerning them,

Downside of low inflation: A weaker global economy @AP BULLSHIT! @DallasFed Don't LIE!

Yeah.. I'm reprinting it with a link to the source even though it SAYS I'm not allowed to do this.. So sue me, ok?
The reason I'm posting it is not because I agree with it but to show how the media is OWNED by #government & central #banks. Whatever happened to giving BOTH sides of a story?! Why is status quo #propaganda all we ever get out of the corporate media?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Since the Great Recession ended 4½ years ago, Americans have struggled with high unemployment, static pay and a slow economy. Yet they've had one thing in their favor: low inflation.
Well, hold the applause.
It might be unfathomable to people who still bear scars from the double-digit inflation of the 1970s, but "what the global economy could use right now is a dose of higher prices." -Says WHO?!
Overall prices are barely budging because the economy is still weak. And the reverse may be true, too: Super-low inflation has likely slowed growth from the United States to Japan to Europe. It's why "the world's central banks" would like prices to rise. -OHHHHH, that's who..
Most people aren't likely to work up much anxiety about low inflation. After all, the benefits can be great. Cellphone service has gotten cheaper. Breakfast cereal prices have dropped the past two years. So has the cost of bedroom furniture. TV prices have plummeted 29 percent since 2012. -Technology doesn't count as it's a rigged deflationary "game" to begin with
And low inflation is surely preferable to runaway inflation. Back in 1980, U.S. inflation reached 13.5 percent.
Last year, overall U.S. prices inched up just 1.1 percent, according to the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge. Inflation has stayed below the Fed's 2 percent target for two years. On Wednesday, the government said its producer price index, which tracks prices before they reach consumers, had risen just 1.2 percent over the past 12 months.
Yet Ben Bernanke, the just-departed Fed chairman, has said policymakers worry as much when inflation is too low as when it's too high.
---
No mention here of the fact that IF the @FederalReserve manages to achieve their "goal" of consistent 2% inflation what happens to our currency over, say, a 100 year period? Looks negative doesn't it?
---
What's wrong with very low inflation?
Lots. When prices barely move, many people postpone purchases. Why rush, if the same price — or lower — will be available in six months? Collectively, these delays slow consumer spending, the economy's main fuel.
Ultra-low inflation also makes the inflation-adjusted cost of a loan more expensive. -Who might this be important to? Perhaps a #government that owes over 17 TRILLION DOLLARS?! I think Americans are ready to try not having any debt for awhile!
And too-low inflation raises the prospect of something worse: deflation — a broad decline in prices, pay and the value of stocks, homes or other assets. Deflation can further restrain spending and even tip an economy into recession.

THIS is EXTREMELY BIAS BS!
Mind if I share a bit of the other side of the story with my readers?
Some BENEFITS of #Deflation
Higher Standard of Living:
Contrary to what we are constantly told by the fear-mongers, it is deflation which raises the standard of living for the general public, and inflation which destroys our standard of living. This is nothing but simple arithmetic. The fall in prices of computers and big-screen TV's has literally made us wealthier, as it takes less hours of our labors to pay for these goods today than it used to.
Purges Excess From Markets
Deflation is the great bubble-destroyer. No asset-bubble can ever withstand the economic "shock" of deflation. Again we see the hypocrisy of politicians and bankers (and the media talking-heads who parrot them).
First these individuals create asset-bubbles (through their reckless, inflationary policies). After they have created these bubbles, they confess to their own foolishness, however they still refuse to accept the "prescription" (deflation) for the "disease" they have created. Like the drug addict, these inflation addicts know that inflation is harming themselves (and everyone around them), and like the weakest junkie, they continue to refuse the "rehab" of deflation.

Just ask the Japanese. -Fuck the Japanese
Japan has been stuck in a deflationary trap for most of two decades. Its economy has barely grown. Fears have spiked that Europe might be next.
For now, prices in Europe are ticking up — barely. Inflation in the 18 nations that use the euro currency rose 0.7 percent in January from a year earlier. In Japan, consumer prices rose 0.4 percent for 2013. That counts for good news: It was Japan's first overall price increase in five years. Its central bank is trying to lift inflation to 2 percent.
So why is inflation so low across the developed world?
Blame a persistently subpar economy and a tough job market. When good jobs are scarce, businesses can hold down pay and prices. Companies can cheaply produce enough to meet demand.
"Prices have only gone down because nobody has any money to buy stuff," says Antonio Duarte, a retired postal worker in Lisbon, Portugal, who favors discount stores. "It's all about supply and demand." -Exactly! Lower prices and you will increase demand. It's not rocket science.
Other trends have contributed. Most clothing and furniture in the United States comes from lower-cost manufacturers overseas. Technological innovation has improved the quality of TVs and smartphones while cutting their costs. -Manufacturing of [slave labor] cheap, mostly plastic, crap to entice #consumers?
A more fundamental factor is at work, too: People believe inflation will stay low. And inflation expectations can be self-fulfilling. Suppose a company expects to pay 3 percent more for salary and materials next year. It will then raise its own prices 3 percent. The company's expectations would help produce 3 percent inflation.
Ask people if they're enjoying low inflation, and you may encounter puzzlement. Many of us don't feel it. One reason: Apart from the government's broad inflation gauges, many items have gotten much costlier over the past five or 10 years. -Which is why we don't have #fiat to WASTE!
Though gasoline prices, for example, have risen just 1 percent in two years — a big reason overall inflation is low — gas is still nearly 14 percent costlier than before the recession. Drivers face that reality every day. -Gas and food aren't even calculated in the CPI!
Consider Allison Casey, 63, of Essex, Conn. She was relieved to find a job in August after 18 months of unemployment. But Casey now drives 25 miles each way to work at a specialty food store. She used to drive just a mile to her job as a chef at a country club.
Recently, she paid $3.56 a gallon. Six years ago, "I was probably paying $1.65 or $2 for a gallon of gas."
Other services have grown more expensive. Health care costs have long risen faster than overall inflation. And college tuition has soared 76 percent in 10 years. Yet stable or falling prices for many other items have offset those trends.
Low inflation does help when pay increases are weak. Consumers can stretch their dollars, yen and euros. In hard-hit European economies, such as Greece and Portugal, prices have actually fallen in the past year.
Ace Hardware CEO John Venhuizen says his company paid less to manufacturers for products it sells in 2013 than in 2012. That's helped offset other rising costs, such as health care.
"We are delighted," Venhuizen says. "There's far less price pressure than I would have anticipated five years ago."
Yet low prices pose a downside for some businesses. Big chains such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Bed, Bath & Beyond fought a brutal price war during the past holiday shopping season. The discounts got Americans to spend more. But 33 retail chains cut their profit estimates for the final months of 2013, according to RetailMetrics LLC.
By contrast, if retailers could raise prices, say, 3 percent or 4 percent, the extra revenue would allow them to pay employees more. And they wouldn't have to rely strictly on cost cuts to deliver profits. -Yeah? So why don't #they just do it then? Why stop at 4% price increases? Why not 10% or 20% Why not just devalue our currency by 40% to get the job done quickly?!
Other businesses might also spend more. U.S. companies are sitting on nearly $2 trillion in cash, according to the Fed. Jared Bernstein, an economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, notes that low inflation leads many businesses to hoard cash. Higher inflation, by contrast, would erode the cash's value. So businesses would be more inclined to spend — to hire or buy equipment. -"would erode the cash's value" A little fiat manipulation here and there helps doesn't it?
Higher inflation would also make it easier for Americans to manage their debts. Laurence Ball, an economics professor at Johns Hopkins, notes that many car buyers have loans with rates of 2 percent or less. If inflation were 3 percent or more, pay would likely rise. The car loans would become cheaper to pay off.
In Europe, higher inflation could help resolve that region's economic crisis. Greece and other poorer members of the eurozone let wages and prices rise too high, and their goods became comparatively expensive. Now, they must reduce wages and prices, especially compared with stronger economies like Germany. If inflation were higher in the richer countries, it would help ease prices and pay in the poorer countries and encourage hiring.
In the United States, many economists have long feared that the Fed's efforts to stimulate growth would ignite inflation. Since 2008, the Fed has bought more than $3 trillion in bonds to try to keep loan rates low to encourage spending. -The (so-called) money the @FederalReserve "prints" out of thin air goes ONLY into the pockets, balance sheets, of #banks not into the general economy, by design..
Yet to the surprise of many, all the money the Fed has pumped out hasn't caused prices to jump. -See above
"It's a bit of a riddle," says Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. -Fisher knows better, he's lying
Other economists note that most of the money the Fed has created is being held by large commercial banks as reserves. And consumers and businesses aren't clamoring for loans. Banks have tightened their lending standards. So the new money created by the Fed hasn't circulated through the economy, where it might have accelerated inflation.
Most economists foresee inflation remaining low for at least two more years. Fed policymakers have forecast that inflation will be just 1.7 percent to 2 percent in 2016. -The VALUE of our currency has FALLEN by 96% since the inception of the @FederalReserve ! How much more inflation do we really need?!
They'd be happy to be wrong. An uptick in inflation "is a sign that growth is happening," says Alberto Cavallo, an economics professor at MIT.

A different story about the #Anunnaki
---
by Estelle Nora Harwit Amrani
with Enki’s Assistance
from Vibrani Website
January, 1999
up-dated August 3, 2000
recovered through BibliothecaAlexandrina Website
---
Introduction
For those of you who are Sitchin fans, you may notice some similarities between his information and mine. I respect the exhaustive research he has done, and the great scholar that he is. He contributed to opening up our planet’s memory of the Anunnaki. Scholastic and intellectual viewpoints and written documents are of value and add one part to understanding who we are. However, I feel we must not rule out our holographic, multidimensional viewpoints as being of equal value.
This is what I present to you.
I don’t agree with all of Sitchin’s data, and I include a lot that he does not. There have been many viewpoints from many different writers about the Anunnaki. Most of my information comes from personal memories and channeled information. And, similarities will also exist between certain channels because deeper truth is consistent; those who can channel or tap into universal energies on their own will also receive many parallels to this story. [My personal memories and more about me and Enki can be found in my article Nakmemories.]
I have something I’d like to add here - the Anunnaki had bases around the world, but primarily in the Middle East - Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Iraq - and in India and South Africa. There are many artifacts that still exist in Iraq but are not allowed to be seen, and the West has not had much access at all to these artifacts of the Anunnaki. It is my understanding that Saddam Hussein has hoarded many of these and kept many in private vaults under the ground. It is my hope that governments will encourage the Iraqi people who have access to these artifacts to bring them out and share them with the world.
Much still lies beneath the sands and it would be fantastic for humanity to be able to uncover the past in this region. Ur, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was the birthplace of humanity in modern times on Plan-ET Earth, the Garden of Eden, and everyone is entitled to have safe access to it. Therein lies many eophysical keys to remembering who we all are. (Please see the addendum to this article for a more complete explanation of how the war with Iraq is related to the Anunnaki, added April, 2003.)
Special update on May 1, 2003: The Tomb of Gilgamesh is thought to have been found in Iraq. The story can be read here and please note the comments on the canals, which Enki built.

Preface
Humans were not only created by G-d, but are also genetically, symbolically and literally, related to a few off-planet civilizations; one particularly known on Earth as the Anunnaki.
[If you believe humans evolved solely from apes, why, then, are there still apes?]
Our story, (a term which replaces "history", because "our story" belongs to all of us), of human life on Earth is often told as creation myths, the planets in the heavens.
But these myths were based on something - - - fact. This is why, around the world, we see the same tales of how one ’god’ was instrumental in assisting humanity during creation, the great flood, bringing knowledge to humanity. All cultures have their own creation stories of the ’gods and goddesses,’ beings on ships that came from the skies (often wearing masks or strange clothing and possessed some amazing abilities), giants (Anakim), war epochs between two sides of a family, and all over the Earth we also share very similar artwork, music and technology, largely based on extraterrestrial activity and intervention. From Lemuria to Atlantis to Sumeria to Egypt. These portray the story of our cosmos, the constellations, sun and moon, and put into human and "god" forms.
Personally, I feel that much of what we attribute to the Anunnaki was not their own doing. For instance, I think that the Anunnaki were limited in their abilities, yet were given credit for doing things that were done by other alien species. But, as human beings saw the Anunnaki as gods and goddesses, they naturally transferred credit to the Annunaki, because they were more tangible, something they could see, make an image of, and so forth. In this article you will see some comparisons between B’raisheet (Genesis) and the written history the Anunnaki.
Although this may not be for everybody (because some people simply aren’t interested or curious about any of this stuff), why could it be of value to examine our past in this particular way, with our connections to extraterrestrials, as well as with our past lifetimes? Because when we re-member more of who we are, why we continue to repeat patterns without understanding them, then we can be more of our whole selves in a way that is free from old baggage. We can have clear knowledge of ourselves, accept ourselves, heal what needs healing, and create what we want to have for our future.
Or, to quote from a popular TV show ("Kung Fu: The Legend Continues"):
"The seeds of destiny are nurtured by our roots in the past."
If you want to know what the Anunnaki looked like, one easy way is to see the crop circle from 2001 called the first Chilbolton Face in Hampshire.
Mention the name Anunnaki to some people and deep within them something stirs; a memory of Earth and Mars - and often there is anger, fear, pain, and confusion about the Anunnaki. People seem to like to blame them for all of Earth’s problems. Some people remember being part of their family, for better or worse.
And yet others don’t want to hear anything about them because it dredges up feelings they’d rather avoid or deny. I even hear stories from people who think that the Anunnaki are vicious reptilians who have been battling for control over the Earth for the last half a million years, and they call all of the shots while we sit here like helpless pawns. I feel that A LOT of what we’ve learned about the Anunnaki was via bad press due to incorrect translations and the need to have a scapegoat. Do I agree with everything the Anunnaki did, or they way in which they did things? No.
They had good sides and also some really awful sides. There were different Anunnaki factions, and there were aliens who gave the impression they were Anunnakis. This article presents some of each. What they did was their responsibility and I’m not about to excuse or even attempt the impossible, which would be to vindicate their actions.
The Anunnaki are archetypal, symbolic, and mythic, too. So, we may each feel a certain personal identification with one or more of them, which is a very interesting phenomenon to investigate. Because people feel a reaction to the Anunnaki, it is a HUGE key that our personal feelings and memories (emotional and cellular) about the Anunnaki still influence us today. In other words, these archetypes are within ourselves. Joseph Campbell stated that, "myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life." We seek the experience, the rapture of life, and myths help us as guides through life, show us what we are capable of, and mirroring what we feel. We can use the mythology of the Anunnaki as a way to understand and heal ourselves.
From Enki and Enlil, Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Moses and Ramses, Hatshepsut and Tuthmose, Akhenaten’s one god versus the many deities; Inanna (with her insatiable greed for power and adoration who still failed to realize that without her possessions she was nothing); Jehovah and Adoni; Sin (a.k.a. Nanna, Allah); the war over who controls Israel.
We have seen brother go against brother (the main theme), religions and governments against others, men against women and women against men up into current times. I feel it’s time to get over the past (not necessarily forget it), and heal a lot. It is my hope that through such understanding of who we are, we can resolve ancient battles between nations and heal bitterness and hurts that have held us back from fully enjoying our lives and being the creators that we are RIGHT NOW. It’s time to remember who the false gods were and who the real G-d is....the One that is in charge of it all, that is within us; the one that transcends definition.
The return of love/G-d (and the G-d as the common source within us all that is synchronicity, wisdom - love and light) is not only required for our survival, I feel it is eminent. Examining the deep, dark secrets within and healing them can help us accomplish this faster, I think. The most important event that took place when the Anunnakis ruled the Earth was that man rebelled against slavery and demanded sovereignty, and received it. The Anunnaki left. At the end of this article is more information along these lines about what this means for us as a civilization.
My thanks go to my higher self, and Enki for helping me, for all of his love and care he gives to me and to all of life.

Introduction
For those of you who are Sitchin fans, you may notice some similarities between his information and mine. I respect the exhaustive research he has done, and the great scholar that he is. He contributed to opening up our planet’s memory of the Anunnaki. Scholastic and intellectual viewpoints and written documents are of value and add one part to understanding who we are. However, I feel we must not rule out our holographic, multidimensional viewpoints as being of equal value.
This is what I present to you.
I don’t agree with all of Sitchin’s data, and I include a lot that he does not. There have been many viewpoints from many different writers about the Anunnaki. Most of my information comes from personal memories and channeled information. And, similarities will also exist between certain channels because deeper truth is consistent; those who can channel or tap into universal energies on their own will also receive many parallels to this story. [My personal memories and more about me and Enki can be found in my article Nakmemories.]
I have something I’d like to add here - the Anunnaki had bases around the world, but primarily in the Middle East - Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Iraq - and in India and South Africa. There are many artifacts that still exist in Iraq but are not allowed to be seen, and the West has not had much access at all to these artifacts of the Anunnaki. It is my understanding that Saddam Hussein has hoarded many of these and kept many in private vaults under the ground. It is my hope that governments will encourage the Iraqi people who have access to these artifacts to bring them out and share them with the world.
Much still lies beneath the sands and it would be fantastic for humanity to be able to uncover the past in this region. Ur, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was the birthplace of humanity in modern times on Plan-ET Earth, the Garden of Eden, and everyone is entitled to have safe access to it. Therein lies many eophysical keys to remembering who we all are. (Please see the addendum to this article for a more complete explanation of how the war with Iraq is related to the Anunnaki, added April, 2003.)
Special update on May 1, 2003: The Tomb of Gilgamesh is thought to have been found in Iraq. The story can be read here and please note the comments on the canals, which Enki built.

Preface
Humans were not only created by G-d, but are also genetically, symbolically and literally, related to a few off-planet civilizations; one particularly known on Earth as the Anunnaki.
[If you believe humans evolved solely from apes, why, then, are there still apes?]
Our story, (a term which replaces "history", because "our story" belongs to all of us), of human life on Earth is often told as creation myths, the planets in the heavens.
But these myths were based on something - - - fact. This is why, around the world, we see the same tales of how one ’god’ was instrumental in assisting humanity during creation, the great flood, bringing knowledge to humanity. All cultures have their own creation stories of the ’gods and goddesses,’ beings on ships that came from the skies (often wearing masks or strange clothing and possessed some amazing abilities), giants (Anakim), war epochs between two sides of a family, and all over the Earth we also share very similar artwork, music and technology, largely based on extraterrestrial activity and intervention. From Lemuria to Atlantis to Sumeria to Egypt. These portray the story of our cosmos, the constellations, sun and moon, and put into human and "god" forms.
Personally, I feel that much of what we attribute to the Anunnaki was not their own doing. For instance, I think that the Anunnaki were limited in their abilities, yet were given credit for doing things that were done by other alien species. But, as human beings saw the Anunnaki as gods and goddesses, they naturally transferred credit to the Annunaki, because they were more tangible, something they could see, make an image of, and so forth. In this article you will see some comparisons between B’raisheet (Genesis) and the written history the Anunnaki.

I have been looking for this for a long time --> The DNA molecule and Prayer
---
I truly believe obtaining the ability to properly use our DNA is the key to.. everything..
Greg

Posted: 17:00 April 20, 2007
People have asked me for years why it is that I have had so many experiences with the heavens when they haven't. Of course there are many of you who tell me that you are experiencing the same kind of phenomenon in your lives. However, I would like to address the question.
I think we all understand that there is a price to pay for contacting the heavens. It isn't something you can merely ask for and expect to receive for the asking, though the Lord chooses us all from time to time, on His own schedule, to intervene in our lives. However, how can we ask the questions we think we need, and get the answers?
Remember the class on Knowledge where we talk about the extensive nature of the DNA computer. 95% of the space on the DNA molecule goes apparently unused and is often called 'Junk DNA' by scientists. Nobody disputes that this DNA is doing something, but scientists have yet to discover what it is. That 'Junk DNA' can be used in a prayer-like mode to discover the secrets of the heavens. Everything you want to know is located in the computer God has given you, or is accessible by that computer. It is a matter of learning how to access that information inside of you and to use that computer to contact the creator who made it in the first place.
In addition scientists have yet to discover the specific location of our consciousness within the brain. The reality is that the conscious is not a specific part of the body, but is located in all the parts of the body. We tend to think that because we see out of our eyes that the conscious is located in the head. However, there have been prophets who reported to have been able to see out from the tips of their fingers and toes and behind them. There are people who have returned from a near death experience and reported to have been able to see from various parts of their body as well. That changes everything. The conscious may be possible anywhere DNA, or its spiritual counterpart, is located.
The truth is that the DNA molecule is much larger and more sophisticated than any computer on earth. There are those who fear artificial intelligence, which was the subject of a coast to coast program the night of September 1st 2007. I had to laugh because man doesn't have anywhere near the ability to construct a computer like the one we already have within our own body. If we could keep our minds quiet enough to use our personal computer we would find thousands of savant-like abilities, including working with numbers, remote viewing and travel, witnessing the future and the past and seeing through the eyes of someone who has already lived on the planet. By the way that is the confusion over the reincarnation fallacy. When we see through the eyes of someone else who has lived on the planet, we tend to think that it was our past life. That is a very arrogant and erroneous thought. Most of what goes on inside our head doesn't originate with us. We take things too personally. We have an overwhelming need to own everything we think. One of the greatest secrets to learning how to get an answer to prayer is to learn what thoughts belong to, and originate with, us. When we learn to recognize what I call the voice of the 'other' it is the first step in recognizing the answer to a prayer. It isn't that hard. We know the kinds of things that we know. We remember our experiences. If something is happening inside our head that we didn't experience it is something else. It may seem confusing at first, but it is based on some very simple principles. We all hear our own self talking to ourselves all the time inside our heads. However, most of us don't stop long enough to differentiate that voice we hear that is inside our heads that isn't us at all. That voice can be amazingly articulate and amazingly the voice of someone else.
In order to get the answer to our prayers we must have the ability to remove the agendas from our minds. The conscious of the mind is like the RAM in a computer. ROM is the part where all the information is stored. But it is the RAM, or central processing unit, where the work of the computer is being done. DNA works the exact same way. Most of the DNA acts like ROM memory, while no scientists can tell you the location of the RAM or the conscious mind. In this month's class on the conversation Jesus has with Peter, Jesus tells us how to get our prayers answered. It is perhaps the most profound message I have ever heard in my life. Amazingly it was found in China along side the writings and teachings of Confucius and the Tao. Jesus tells Peter what we all need to do in order to have the ability to get the answer to our prayers. He doesn't say it that naively, but that is exactly what he is telling Peter. See A Conversation between Peter and Jesus found in China.
The August 2007 Class is now available. This is one of those classes that can have a bigger impact in your life than any material possession. It could cause you to depend on prayer, just like I do. It could be your largest source of information on any topic you choose. It could bring you very close to God.
One of the classes for this month is hosted by Robert Van Arlen. He is featured on the cover holding up the world. He is an amazing speaker and a very close friend of Chase. He also is very well connected in the scientific world. We are glad he was willing to host one of the classes that we wrote. To topic is on the secret of the year 2012 and the Maya Calendar. Most of us have heard a great deal on this subject, but then again most of us are confused as to what is really going on. We have no idea that the calendar was shared by the Chinese. We have no idea about the Masonic messages on the disk and the Temple Protocol explained by the calendar. Lastly, we are worried that the end of the world will come on Dec. 21st 2012. That is simply not true. However, that date does foretell of a very close global disaster that will make global warming look like a case of the hiccups. For the first time you will understand why this will happen and what will happen. This isn't prophecy here. This is science. See The Secrets of 2012.
The last of the classes is my favorite. It deals with the origins of the kings of the Old Testament from the African records. These are stories you have never heard before. For me it is another evidence of how much knowledge still exists in ancient texts, which survive in our day. It brings tears to my eyes to think that God didn't leave us stranded. We are the ones who allow ourselves to get lost. See The Secrets of the Ancient Kings of the Bible.
If nothing else you will learn for the first time the history about the origins of Rome itself well beyond the mythologies we think we understand. This is pure fun.
Don't forget to browse the bookstore while you are at the site. We are going to put some new books up soon and take down some of the others. It is time for you to make sure your collections are complete before we move on. Books at Kimball College.
I have some final comments on prayer. My uncle, the most gifted spiritual man I have ever known, told me that if we aren't praying for at least fifteen minutes a day, we aren't praying enough. Then he said if we are not listening for at least half that time, the stupid person is doing all the talking. I have taken the time to go to the desert to pray for a couple of days like the ancient prophets did long ago. If you haven't done that in your lives you have missed the greatest experience in your lives. When it all started to happen for me it came so fast I thought I was in a race. I almost starved because I simply didn't want the experience to end. If you don't know if God exists, take the time to clear your mind and take the advice of Jesus from the Class and go and try it for yourself. Many of you who finally do that will find you have no more need of me, except to share your experiences. Don't miss this month's classes. What will you say to God when he asks you what you did to learn about this world? Will you tell him that you had to clear up a few matters before taking the class? Will you tell him that you were writing a book at the time, or had to worry about your job? Remember the parable of the talents. Will you have buried yours and return them to God unused? Put it in gear this fall. There are things that will surely happen that will find you wanting if you don't. Fill your lamps and be like the wise virgins. When you have it going for yourself then you can jettison guys like me and do it for yourself.

Pay No Attention to that Man in Your Bathtub - Fight or flight Americans almost always choose flight
---
How refreshing.. someone (in the MSM?) who "gets it"..
Greg
---
John Kass | Jan 07, 2014
What if you woke after a night of uneasy dreams to find a strange man standing in your bathtub?
Don't be alarmed. The strange man isn't some stark naked psycho. The strange man is fully clothed. Polite, even, efficient, neat and obviously well-educated.
He has a camera pointed at you. And the camera is rolling.
So what would you do?
"Hey, don't mind me," says the filmmaker, gesturing for you to keep on with your normal routine. "I'm just here to protect you in case some criminals try to attack when you're at your most vulnerable."
Would you shrug and say you always figured there was a filmmaker in your bathtub the whole time anyway?
Would you say you had nothing to hide, and seek to make the filmmaker welcome in your bathtub, perhaps even trot downstairs to fetch him an anisette biscotti and a nice hot cup of morning joe?
Or would you just stand there, confused American that you are, unable to process the cameraman-in-your-bathtub thing, frantically searching for a reason not to have a violent confrontation (because who wants confrontations when at your most vulnerable)?
And then it hits you:
He's right! He's just protecting you and other Americans from evil.
The human mind works this way. When confounded, we seek refuge in recognizable patterns. And for so many of us, trained for generations to studiously avoid confrontation, it solves so many problems, doesn't it?
So rather than become upset and risk an actual conflict, you just go along, because that's how we roll these days in America.
You bow politely, exit the bathroom, sigh a deep sigh, and begin repeating:
"I really have nothing to hide. I really have nothing to hide. I really ..."
Whether you have something to hide or not isn't my concern. Although I do hope when that you read this column that you have the decency to be fully clothed. But sadly, I have no control over that, either.
This might sound subversive -- and given what's going on in our country, it is absolutely subversive -- but what you do in your bathroom is your business.
What you do on the Internet, or on the telephone, should be your business, too.
Not my business.
Most definitely not the National Security Agency's business.
And certainly not U.S. Rep. Peter King's business, either.
The horrifying prospect of a bathtub visit by King, the New York big-government pro-NSA Republican, came to me after reading a story on Politico.com about his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
King was whining about the cranky libertarian Sen. Rand Paul, another Republican who has dared criticize the American security state, particularly the NSA's habit of spying on Americans for their own good.
Paul is considering a presidential run in 2016, and apparently so is King, although we need a big-government Republican from New York in the White House about as much as we need a big-government Democrat from Chicago.
I'm from Chicago, where there are hives of cameras watching all of us on the streets, and where big-government Democrats and Republicans get along just fine. I call this bipartisan arrangement The Combine. And the rest of us are expected to doff our caps, fall to our knees and thank them for their benevolence.
Basically, King said that Paul had no business in Congress, was stoking "paranoia" in America, and had dared to compare NSA boss James Clapper (who lied to Congress about spying) to the master leaker, the wanted Edward Snowden.
"When Rand Paul is comparing Gen. Clapper to Snowden, saying Clapper belongs in jail with Snowden, talking about how all phone calls are being listened to, trying to create this paranoia among Americans that the NSA is spying on everyone, the fact is he has not been able to cite one abuse by the NSA."
According to King, the Kentucky Republican "creates this illusion" of spying in an attempt to play off Americans' fear in an "offensive" way.
But it isn't an illusion of spying. It is spying.
Spying on the American people.
Guys like King don't have any problem with it. Good for you, Peter. And I hereby promise never to show up fully clothed in your bathtub with a camera.
But I have a problem with the whole business of government spying on us for our own good. By objecting, am I subversive, perhaps even traitorous?
These days, many Americans say that they assume the government is listening to their conversations. And some don't merely accept it, they long for it, convinced that it will protect them.
What King, President Barack Obama and the rest of the big-government crowd ignore is a rather strange and now radical idea:
That the power of our government derives from the people -- that we don't work for them, they work for us.
For years now, even before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, we've been led away from this idea.
Those doing the leading stood to benefit by latching onto power.
When it comes to liberty, big-government Democrats, like big-government Republicans, are two horns on the head of the same ravenous federal goat. Goats don't talk much about liberty. They chew and bleat.
And no one wants a goat in their bathtub.
How refreshing.. someone (in the MSM?) who "gets it"..

What if you woke after a night of uneasy dreams to find a strange man standing in your bathtub?
Don't be alarmed. The strange man isn't some stark naked psycho. The strange man is fully clothed. Polite, even, efficient, neat and obviously well-educated.
He has a camera pointed at you. And the camera is rolling.
So what would you do?
"Hey, don't mind me," says the filmmaker, gesturing for you to keep on with your normal routine. "I'm just here to protect you in case some criminals try to attack when you're at your most vulnerable."
Would you shrug and say you always figured there was a filmmaker in your bathtub the whole time anyway?
Would you say you had nothing to hide, and seek to make the filmmaker welcome in your bathtub, perhaps even trot downstairs to fetch him an anisette biscotti and a nice hot cup of morning joe?
Or would you just stand there, confused American that you are, unable to process the cameraman-in-your-bathtub thing, frantically searching for a reason not to have a violent confrontation (because who wants confrontations when at your most vulnerable)?
And then it hits you:
He's right! He's just protecting you and other Americans from evil.
The human mind works this way. When confounded, we seek refuge in recognizable patterns. And for so many of us, trained for generations to studiously avoid confrontation, it solves so many problems, doesn't it?
So rather than become upset and risk an actual conflict, you just go along, because that's how we roll these days in America.
You bow politely, exit the bathroom, sigh a deep sigh, and begin repeating:
"I really have nothing to hide. I really have nothing to hide. I really ..."
Whether you have something to hide or not isn't my concern. Although I do hope when that you read this column that you have the decency to be fully clothed. But sadly, I have no control over that, either.
This might sound subversive -- and given what's going on in our country, it is absolutely subversive -- but what you do in your bathroom is your business.
What you do on the Internet, or on the telephone, should be your business, too.
Not my business.
Most definitely not the National Security Agency's business.
And certainly not U.S. Rep. Peter King's business, either.

$SPX $FXA $DXY
---
I'm not sure what to make of this chart (10 year weekly).
I know I always considered $FXA [$AUDUSD] to be pretty much a "risk on" currency pair
We can see on the chart below that it trended up with the $SPX during 2006 / 2007, before the crash. And we can see that during the crash (2008, 2009) that it dropped precipitously with the $SPX. And we can see that as the $SPX soared through the middle of 2011 (thanks to central bank intervention) $FXA was a leading indicator to the upside.
So.. what's up with the odd looking crossover in early 2013 and subsequent divergent movement?

The #Matrix runs deep - You are fucked

If you read my blog at all you know I like conspiracies ;)
Today I decided to look and see how incumbent republican senators, who are up for reelection in the 2014 midterm, voted on the Yellen as FED chair issue. The results were pretty much what I expected to find..
This is, in part, how the matrix operates. And I think for the most part this sort of thing is easily predictable.
These elite "representatives" consider the American people to be stupid enough to be easily fooled on a regular basis. Make things just a bit complex and the average American will never be able to figure out what's going on. Politics all the time while the decisions that are truly important remain part of a grand bipartisan conspiratorial scheme.
So you might ask what that scheme is..
I'll tell you what *I* think it is..
In 2008 our economy in the United States collapsed, this time for good. All the large (Too Big To Fail) banks.. failed, insolvent, bankrupt. Unemployment was running at 700,000 job losses per month as corporations dumped workers in an effort to remain solvent / protect profits.
We no longer have a capitalist system in this country.. As G.W. Bush himself stated rather clearly in 2008..
---
BUSH; Well, I have obviously made a decision to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse. I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system. I think when people review what’s taken place in the last six months, uh, and put it all in one, in one, (sigh), you know, in one package, they’re realize how significantly we have moved.
---
To my knowledge that statement has yet to be retracted, by anyone..
"how significantly WE have moved" < We indeed.. Who is we anyway? Perhaps the treasury? The [private] Federal Reserve Bank? Corporations? And the "move" was indeed significant.. In the form of bailouts.. Rules (rule of law) were changed in order to artificially "prop up" failed banks (as seen here.. FASB Lets Banks Mark to Myth, Not Mark to Market) and Three non-bank businesses also received substantial TARP funds. These were AIG (the insurance giant), and General Motors and Chrysler. This included TARP I, II & III, all of which the American people were steadily resentful of.
Check these more critical articles about the bailouts and who benefitted..

Neil Barofsky is the former inspector general of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
He told Here & Now there is a “deep frustration that those perhaps most responsible for the crisis not only weren’t punished, they were rewarded for their conduct.”

Clearly the response to the financial crisis was never at all about the American people. It was much more about robbing us blind to the benefit of banks and other corporations..
Republican senators up for reelection vs Yellen vote (Sources here and here)

You can see here that republicans who find themselves facing the 2014 election voted no to yellen, for public consumption / political cover, while understanding completely that she would, without a doubt, be confirmed as the new chair(man) of the [private] Federal Reserve bank. (With the exception of always liberal leaning & or retiring senators (ie; Chambliss, Collins and Alexander)
The Federal Reserve is THE main player in all of this "prop up the rich and corporations and the poor and unemployed will be fine shenanigan..

And, apparently, the Federal Reserve believes all that is required to "save the economy" is for a significant portion of the American people to continually accumulate ever more debt..
See: How government incetivises consumerism
And this bullshit continues to this very day where The ACA aka obamacare "law" is preparing to bail out insurance companies next (if open theft from the American populous via the mandating of the purchase of an individual product from a specific economic sector fails to perform as expected.)
As can be seen here, here and here
It's quite obvious that the elite have ALL of us by the short hairs..
