Before reading   Dr. Lee’s report, and the supporting links, I wasn’t even aware of what a major player Venezuela is today in the black gold market.  My unawareness isn’t out of ignorance or indifference to global matters, up here that isn’t news.  Now if a Venezuelan woman would have had 7 babies at once, especially if one had one eye in the middle of its head, or some other distinct, morbid attraction worthy of a sound bite, that would be considered newsworthy here.

Michael C. Ruppert predicts Bush’s rhetorical rationalization of “They hate us because of our freedom.” http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/120104_w orld_burns.shtml    This is an illusion a majority of the U.S. lives in daily, but we are not free, not in any since of the word.  This propaganda is a trick the Bush administration uses to justify their attacks on other countries.  Their other justification for violating global laws and human rights is morals and values.  So watch out,  the rest of the world not only threatens freedom of the reality Bush and his cronies live in, but immorality, as they define it, is also a threat viable enough to destroy  and eliminate.

My belief system is rooted in Native American principles.  There is a circle that all life revolves in, most commonly referred to as the Medicine Wheel.  If we live in balance with the seven directions of that wheel, East, West, North, South, the Sky, Mother Earth, and our inner selves, then we have harmony peace and hope.  
Our capitalist populations have totally lost any concept of this, if they ever had it.  They live a linear path towards more and more materialism.  As Franz J.T. Lee documents with his sources and his own reflections, this path is bound to lead to an Armageddon.

Ruppert’s article outlines seven steps we can all take to at least give us some chance of survival of such a disaster.  They are wise words to live by and are the first step in bringing us back into the circle and ultimate back into balance with our planet and our inner selves.

If an Armageddon is a product it is my hope that there are enough of us living within the circle of life to leave something to sustain and recover what is left of our planet and biosphere.  It is certainly a goal I have for my children and grandchildren to take into the future years.

Since this is my first submission to Narcosphere, I would like to take the opportunity to say how grateful I am for another source of true news, just feeding my brain with this Dr, Lee’s piece here and the links in it that educated me even further is empowering. It is a gift to be a part of this forum and the revolution I hope it achieves.
