THE ECONOMY?

 

The anti-spring might be over. The temperature stayed above zero [barely] these last two nights and it supposed to top out at 35 F today. Still below average, the normal high for today is 41.

It is a beautiful day on planet Earth; blazing Sunshine, calm- it is great to be alive.

I must have insulted my chickens; last week when I was at the feed store I bought two dozen eggs [folks bring them in]. Our chickens were laying two to four a day and that didn't keep up with our usage. The next day they laid ten eggs and they have been laying good every since. Nobody will eat any of those two dozen purchased eggs. Oh well, maybe a big omelet?

While the main stream media is hyping the craziness of the world, they are not paying attention to the collapsing world economy. The economy in South America is in the toilet. The European Union couldn't be more fragile and the U.S. economy depends on an ever increasing output of printed money {actually numbers on a computer screen}. The numbers are put out by the Fed and supposedly backed up by the U.S. government. Oh, are they really?! Economist have been waiting for, at least forty years, for the excrement to hit the fan, we have always been bailed out by our war machine, that is not going to happen. The consciousness of the world will no longer support a large scale war. We are going to have to back up and sit on a pile of debt. Without cranking up the war machine to save the economy it would take generations to pay back the debt. Most economist think it is impossible.

Why doesn't the government just cancel the debt? Who is the Fed anyway? As far as I know, the Fed is made up of a consortium of World Banks. Is that the Cabal? Are they the ones who have been running things? Could the government really refuse to pay? I would assume the Fed has the power to collapse the economy, so the government is at their mercy. How is that a democracy?

Today, the permission the government, had to run up the debt ceiling is at an end. At the rate, the government currently spends money, it will run out around June. The word on the street is, it is unlikely that congress will vote to raise the debt ceiling again. That would mean an austerity program we have never experienced. It could even mean cuts in Social Security and Medicare. It would certainly, put an end, to the talk of improving our infra-structure. Oh sure, it could be prevented, perhaps a Franklin Roosevelt could; at least he would know how, to pick up the pieces, after the fall. With today's ideology permeating congress, it doesn't look good.

It is actually a good thing. We need to rebuild our economy [and our whole civilization] from the bottom up. No more Federal Reserve Bank. No more toxic capitalism. We need real free enterprise. A system where all can participate freely. We need to celebrate the collapse of the present system. I have said before, that this collapse, has been anticipated by people of good will, and a system, free of the present toxicity, is being readied. [More on this later].

In the meantime, we should pay off as much debt as we can, to avoid possible hassle in the interim. Raise a garden, keep a few chickens if we can, identity folks in our community who will need assistance and remember the most important thing we can do is love. We will get through this, love will show us the way.

Love and Peace, Gregg
