Alternative Reality Syndrome

As I learn more about the world that surrounds us I am starting to realize that the main problem may be what some refer to as A.R.S. - Alternative Reality Syndrome. Its very difficult to self assess for this affliction, possibly even more dangerous to go to a professional for an assessment because many professionals suffer from the affliction and may incorrectly diagnose their patients. Someone who was suffering from this affliction themselves once suggested I was and that I should see a psychiatrist. So, not being sure, I went to see one. He did not believe that I was suffering from this, although he was himself as far as I could determine. He believed that I was not because I could back up my beliefs but I wouldn't expect every health professional to act this way.

I recently had a conversation with a bank manager who was suffering from this - so badly that when I began to ask questions she hung up the phone. It may be that our monetary system isn't as bad as people think- for us people I mean - it forced our countries (the corporations) into bankruptcy but not its people. This gives the people a distinct advantage over the corporation, but it is poorly understood. Its very complex and I am beginning to see the light.

This advantage provides us with commercial remedies. We create the money (we are the creditors) and the banks incur debt as a result of us creating the money. We help the bank with their debt when they send us a statement but some of us have found ourselves in a bit of economic turmoil as a result of the banks unwillingness to create the number of debt notes required to keep the economy running (read "expanding" here). As long as the economy is expanding, we people have no problem helping the banks but when the economy is in contraction we do not have enough debt notes to replace the banks debts with yet further debts. We can help the banks by forgiving their debts for them but they often resist this due to many people that work for the banks suffering from A.R.S. and believing that those notes we pass around as money are actually money. Its a dangerous affliction, not only to these people but future generations as well.

We all suffer from this to a certain extent - we have all spent time in the public education system and watching TV which is the main source for this disease.

To self assess as to the degree in which you suffer from this affliction I suggest a series of questions as given below. I am no mental health professional, but I suggest this a model for what I have in mind. Count the number of Yes answers and the number of No answers that you provide to assess your degree of affliction with this terrible defect.

(1) Is George Bush God ?

(2) Do you accept Barrack Hussein Obama as your personal saviour ?

(3) Do you sometimes hang up the phone or run away when people challenge your view points about the world ?

(4) Did Usama bin Laden commit the attacks on September 11 2001 ?

(5) Is carbon dioxide a poisonous gas that will destroy the world unless something is done ?

(6) Do cows farting pose a credible threat to mankind due to ozone destruction ?

(7) Do you believe that Al Gore & David Suzuki are heroes that are trying to save the planet from certain destruction ?

(8) Do you believe that income tax helps pay for government services such as roads, police, hospitals, education and other tangible "benefits" that we are aware of ?

(9) The phrase "To Serve And Protect" is written on police cars in Canada. Do you believe this means to serve and protect the individual rights of the taxpayer ?

(10) Are you careful about self censoring and refuse to investigate things on the internet and force yourself to believe what you read and see in the corporate media ?

(11) Although you pay taxes, do you believe that you are free ?

(12) Is the world over-populated ?

(13) Do you think that you have any money, have basic human rights or own anything as a taxpayer ?

(14) Do you think that its a doctors job to heal your illnesses ?

(15) Do you believe that we will run out of water unless consumption is reduced ?

(16) Do you believe that reducing water consumption will reduce water contamination ?

(17) Do you believe that the government & media could not have lied to us about the moon landing ?

(18) Do you believe that it is the job of the government to work for the people ?

(19) Do you believe that when you hire an attorney, that his/her job is includes ethics and that they are not allowed to lie to you to protect other "interests" ?

(20) Do you believe that change in the world can affect with its change agents knowing almost nothing about the law ?

(21) Is the Bible irrelevant to our society - is it just a pack of man made fictions ?

These are all questions that I would say no too, but there may be other questions that show I do have a slight case of A.R.S. But I am willing to consider other questions, which makes me curable if I do have this affliction. Others are incurable.

I'm sure there are questions that I haven't thought of. I welcome additional ones.

December 18

(A Shministim is a conscientious objector. These men and women have decided not to fight in the Israeli army against the Palistinians)

From the website www.December18th.org:

"I support the Shministim and their right to peacefully object to military service. I call for the release of those teenagers who have been jailed for their principled refusal to serve in an army which occupies the Palestinian Territories. The imprisonment of these conscientious objectors is a violation of their human rights and contrary to International Law.

I am inspired by these caring students and their counterparts in Palestine, whose nonviolent resistance to the Occupation points the way to a just peace and security for all people in the region. They are our best hope for the future. I urge you to heed them, and not punish them."

Obama: What An Ass

On the front page of the Toronto Star today (7/11/2009) has a picture of Obama and Sarkozy on the front page. A lady is walking away from the camera while Obama checks her out from behind. Sarkozy has a "what an idiot" look on his face as he smiles. Must have been his "hottie" wife.

Its priceless, check it out if you see a newspaper stand today. See it here if the link is still good: http://www.theage.com.au/world/nothing-much-behind-bottomgate-20090711-dgpd.html

The Path To Freedom

I am still searching for my path, I have found some of these websites to be useful, but have not looked at all of them. I am not nearly qualified to give advice on this matter, just give some ideas.

I believe a firm foundation in the philosophy of law is necessary to understand much of this. There are many potholes along this path.

I found that reading the first few chapters of Invisible Contracts was useful. Researching the topic "Lex Mercantorium" and the term "The Law Merchant" leads to some great explanations of fundamental ideas that shape our world.

Mostly its unlearning rather than learning. The fact is that the banks could not have simply taken governments over without leaving a remedy. Its un-ethical and civilizations sit on a foundation of ethics. The current underlying believe in eugenics and the promise of a just society is the driving force of the changes we see in todays world. To many these are not unethical.
