This D-Bag Literally Rules the World

You can believe whatever you want. The middle and lower class are clearly being turned back into feudal serfs. They are continuing to earn less and have to pay for more, their needs as human beings are slowly more and more marginalized by society, they willingly enter the debt slavery system by the flocks starting at a young age, their income taxes goes straight to the new feudal lord called the fed, they suck down high fructose corn syrup and ingest the ridiculous nonsense on the television for hours a day. This process is clearly starting to accelerate. I don't feel any anxiety about having to deal with whatever happens because I'm leaving but there is a legit reason to be concerned if you live here for the next couple of years and have all your money in paper dollars. You don't have to believe me.
I agree with what Alex Jones is saying but I don't follow his stuff after I watched his interview on Piers Morgan on youtube when he was mocking the British and constantly talking over the other guy. Obviously what he's saying is true but he's making himself and these ideas look bad

Good. Everyone should aspire to be upper class.
At no point in human history have ALL HUMANS been more wealthy.
They are society, and the architects of their own dissatisfaction.
To summarize, the world is fucked up, people are fucked up, life isn't fair and shit isn't going well. Did I leave anything out?
ebbs and flows my friend. These market changes happen over a long-periods of time.
Our paper dollars will be fine the next couple years unless some externality happens that is not easily predicted (9/11 for example).
Inflation is coming and I have no doubt 5-10 years will look drastically different. However, believing "feudal serfdom" is going to reverse itself because the people will rise up from "oppression" is wrong.
The dynamic of leaders and followers or knights and peasants has existed forever and will exist forever. It is the nature of our species. I want to be the knight and leverage many peasants to do my bidding. Will I be? Not sure yet.
Rather than hoping to change the system with your "voice", focus on playing the system. Your best chance at making any type of real system change? Once you have beat the system.
Generally speaking, peasants listen to leaders, not other peasants.

@ guerilla it depends on your definition of wealth. i don't agree with what you are saying
@bluereach fair enough, we can agree to disagree. I'm not trying to change the sytem and I don't expect or want things to go either way, I only try to understand it and play it. I don't mind what happens here because other countries are emerging as the new lands of opportunity and relative freedom. I would care more if it was like this everywhere and there was nowhere on the earth to avoid it. Anyways, I found those photos and the video interesting just to put a face to them. I'll bump this thread after the dollar collapses if the power grids are still on

When you say "avoid it" you are referring to a place with less greed or one that isn't ruled by the few? Which place/country in particular are you referring to?
Just all the places that are free market with a strong economy. Their police don't act like violent soldiers. The people aren't all tense from living in a fascist state. That's probably as good as it gets these days. Chile and Cambodia are pretty good and some other places in Asia and South America.
Wealth's only functional use is to allow a person to live comfortably and happily, whatever that means to them. It seems like most people are not comfortable or happy and their overly inflated dollars can barely support a living for them/their families.
My roommate, for example, is in his late 40's. He's a lawyer but he is addicted to Mcdonalds, Christianity, and emotional purchases. he lives paycheck to paycheck on a very healthy salary. It's sad to watch but I'm glad to see this grim representation in front of me so I am extra aware of what could have been me if I went to law school and chose not to drop out to do other shit.
He works 5-7 days a week and when he gets home he is so tired from eating bad foods and working with clients all day that he just goes to sleep. All he does is work and eat and buy expensive soaps, colognes, and furniture that he can't even fit in this place without not having space to walk around. He is at face value wealthy, but in my mind he is a very poor person and I pity him.
I don't want to say that, he is also generous and he has good qualities but I think this overall trend of sludgy unconsciousness unfortunately represents a large population of the US and some population of the world but just with different conditions. Maybe they have more money but they are largely so out of touch with the world and themselves that they don't understand what will actually make them happy. They run consumerist America-centric programming as their processing system and they are quickly becoming irrelevant in a world where a lot of foreign students are at least bilingual, bicultural, and studied calculus in the 3rd grade or some crazy shit.
By avoid it, I mean generally anywhere that the FIAT collapse will affect badly. Everybody that is tied to the Euro or the Dollar will get kicked in the balls
That being said, my definition of wealth includes mental and physical wealth as well as spiritual wealth and the wealth of freedom and connection with one's truest ends and desires. Money is just a paper tool to help regulate the flow of value and just having it in itself, even lots of it, a person can still be extremely poor imo if they don't own themselves

dnb21,
Really, I commend you for thinking about these topics. You've revealed your age in this thread, and I too at your age was all up in this shit. I still am and love it, but it's infotainment. Some of it is true, some of it is false.
The appeal of these problems for lot's of people is that they actually represent a solution. The solution is that it gives them an external locus of control to blame everything on. These broad conspiratorial questions are an end in themselves because they relinquish the individual of the responsibility of turning inward and taking control of the first thing that must be conquered, which is the self.
These boss niggas in control, they are in control of themselves. Some of them turn to the dark side. Oh well. Don't like it? Get control. Everyone on this forum as far as I know lives in a place where there is class mobility, capitalism, and the chance to reap benefits based on their labor. They choose how to spend their labor time just as they choose how to spend their leisure time. If you've found this forum, then you know this is true and that the entrepreneurial spirit coupled with ingenuity and execution dwarfs the worker-bee every single time, in every single fashion.
My point is that, people WANT to be slaves to a system. It gives them a safe framework where they don't have to make decisions and gives them something to blame. Not everyone is a leader, and that is okay. That is good. Society wouldn't function with only leaders.
Everything is just as it has always been and will remain this way. There will always be poor, there will always be sickness and death, there will always be change and impermanence. We live in a world of relatives, not absolutes. If you strive for anything else, you strive for shit like socialism. Sounds good on the way up, but not on the way down. Inequality is opportunity.
Don't have an existential meltdown over things out of your control. Surrender that shit and work on what you do control. That, you have no choice in. But to spend your mental and emotional energy on anxieties, fears, and sadness is a waste. You can be engaged, be empathic, be sympathetic, all while being detached and realistic about your sphere of influence in the world.
What I've just typed to you is the key to Boss-Mode. Your sphere of influence will grow in time. Don't worry about big pictures and forests to which you have no access. Start at home, in your heart, in your mind, in your spirit.

I have met people exactly as you described and I have met some very happy with their situation. I rarely see happiness correlate with our government policy.
Have you spent time in Chile or Cambodia?
FIAT will morph, but it will not collapse. My degree is in economics and I've have seen a history of collapse predictions for years and years, generally by the less educated making assumptions from some article read or conversation had.
I love this statement.
I could give two shits about someone I don't know, but I am a good person to my friends & family.
You didn't need to write an essay when all we needed was this one sentence.
Basically, your definition of wealth has never been attainable by the mass of humanity at any time in the past. And certainly, it is much more attainable now than at any time in the past, when most people never left their village, let alone had the possibility to relocate globally and travel frequently, get exposed to literature/ideas, pursue alternative lifestyles..
So look, I sympathize with you even though you sound a bit like a crackpot because I was once a crackpot myself. That said, this is a lot of bullshit, it's negative, it doesn't add anything to the discussion, it doesn't propose a solution, and it doesn't enrich anyone's life.
Whether the world is ruled by evil bankers or it's not, that doesn't change the challenges you and I face every day.
I'm of the opinion that humanity is flawed, and there isn't much any one of us, even working very hard for a sustained period of time, can do about that. And so, I think it's my highest responsibility to try to improve myself because that is the only thing I have even marginal control over.
YMMV.
Brilliantly said.
@DNB:
Just a few thoughts on the whole illuminati/banker conspiracy shit:
1) Conspiracy theories are a profitable niche. Over the course of 3 years, I've seen dozens upon dozens of conspiracy/NWO/Illuminati themed websites blow up with popularity. They profit off of the fears of disillusioned masses and quickly garner loyal readership and an amazing social media presence. Be skeptical of everything you read. A lot of sensationalist bullshit gets thrown into the mix along with the truth.
2) No organization or group of powerful individuals runs the world. They might WANT to control the world. They might be TRYING to control the world. But the odds are clearly against them. They will fail.
3) Like Hobbster said, take individual control. I wasted a lot of time feeling disillusioned about the world and reluctant to apply myself to anything because, because, because... WHAT IF THE DOLLAR CRASHES? WHAT'S THE POINT OF MAKING MONEY WHEN MONEY IS A TOOL OF CONTROL? WE'RE ALL DOOMED ANYWAY, WHAT'S THE POINT OF GOING FORWARD? I'M BEING CONTROLLED!
I'd rather spend my time educating myself, studying marketing, enjoying time with friends and family, and working on my health than worrying about things I can't change.
Speaking of education, if anyone REALLY wants to ditch the illuminati conspiracy bullshit and actually learn about the elite agenda (from their perspective), I recommend checking out Zbigniew K. Brzezinski's books. He's an elitist himself, a co-founder of the Trilateral-Commission, served as a United States National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter, and is a political scientist of epic proportions. The man is a globalist chess master.
Here's an excerpt from his 1970 book, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Ages-Americas-Technetronic/dp/0313234981"]Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era[/ame]
And this:
He predicts (or helps create) the future with disturbing accuracy.
Check out his other books.
Finally, here's one last quote:
Americans are at a historical high point for access to food, electricity, running water, telephones, computers, video games, sex toys, etc.

If you the "serf" can go to a place like Cambodia (average yearly income $2,400) and fulfill your "needs", then so can others using things like this :
