Two links for you people reading this blog –

SHADOWSTATS.COM — real economic numbers, from an economics expert who reverse-engineered the numbers the govt puts out (very good site!!!)

GREEN-AGENDA.COM — insider who reveals the links between the NWO and the sustainable developmeht movement, via the UN’s Agenda 21. This is the macro BIG picture of what is going on. All very well documented with many reliable sources, too.

Destiny,

I’ve done some research in the past and found that more people = less freedom. That “freedom” gauge seems to be tied almost directly to gun rights.

Two things I usually look at state population density and the population of the largest city. I have several simple formulas I apply, but it also has to do with the attitude of the people.

Oh and Cat, feel free to post your thoughts on the economy, like the “stages” approach; first there’s anger then action etc..
The most anarchist thing you can do is; not buy stuff, work for yourself and not pay taxes, drop off the grid and never use credit-we don’t need weapons, simply owe nothing and never use credit-the machine would grind to a halt tomorrow.
And “they” can shove the cutesy singing ads about making sure we all stay on top of our credit score, so we can buy things and be good citizens and have really high credit scores so “they’ can loan us money at 30%.

Kings Mountain is next to Charlotte, I recently moved from North Carolina and the state is quite a mixed crowd on gun issues.
But before you go all Yosemite Sam in the back of a pick-up, keep in mind the masses of anti-gun regular folk grew up in neighborhoods and suburbs, didn’t hunt, didn’t mingle with criminals and have lived violence-free lives and have bought into the idea that by taking away -all- guns the world would burst into song and harmony would reign upon the land.
They vote, pay taxes and watch Lost. They’re not bad or stupid, they are good law abiding folks and believe what they’re told; that guns kill and school shootings will end with strict control.
They are Americans too and just haven’t figured out there’s danger in the van down by the river.

Tada,

Thanks for the link!

Destiny,

Tada took care of me.

Wow! I read the comments. People are whipped into a frenzy!!! I mean, I’ve heard “Don’t Mess With Texas!”, well, Crap! Don’t mess with North Carolinians’ guns! Sheesh! I didn’t realize these people were so pro gun. Go N.C.! You guys rock! I may have to see what that state has to offer next time I vacation. I only spend money in pro-gun states. The people in NC have charmed me by their reactions to their state of emergency gun ban.

Net I’ll look, it was Governor Bev Purdue who declared a state of emergency, after a snowstorm and I think it was a week ago Friday, I checked the -News and Observer- the Raleigh paper, but I’ll dig some more.

Anyone that knows me at all knows that I never post on “economic” issues other than in a commentary style or to point out an obvious point that I suddenly “get”. So please forgive me if I sound to “new” to this or if the post is inappropriate here. Just give me a holler, OK?
That said, I find interesting the idea of economics being related to an organic or natural entity. THAT I can understand.
As with any other natural system, yeah, it can be controlled to a certain extent, but never completely dominated. While not being able to control the actual economic system, the “parts” of the system CAN be tampered with. Certainly, the organic nature of the economy cannot be changed, as it exists solely on an abstract basis, created by things like supply and demand. But things such as currency CAN be screwed with.
The most obvious, (and I know you all get this where I don’t), is the control of the human aspect, the easiest. Trust in our leaders was mislaid.
Fear mongering and outright lying led to the Federal Reserve System being installed as our Central Bank. Markets are controlled through the human factor and outright lies, (i.e.; “news leaks”).
And this runs the full gamut through advertising and mind control of the masses.
I know this is a serious leap, but none of these things exist on their own, right? And it is all owned by the same dragons that blow smoke up your ass and run and control the governments through the promise of power to our congress or the dictators of smaller countries.
So, perhaps we CAN change the world through how and where we spend our money, our most basic “power”, and which markets we choose to support.
