Paul Krugman: "Why does the tide finally seem to be turning? Partly, I think, it’s just a matter of time; after six years it’s becoming hard not to notice that the anti-Keynesians have been wrong about everything. And the refusal of almost everyone on the anti-Keynesian side to admit any kind of error has gradually made them look ridiculous."

Haruhiko Kuroda: "I trust that many of you are familiar with the story of Peter Pan, in which it says, 'the moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.' Yes, what we need is a positive attitude and conviction."

Yes Higg, I agree he is tuned very well to the pitches of the dog whistles sounded that Peggy knows rather well. It would be a safe assessment to the proverbial dial being turned up that normal and attentive Americans have been adulterated and know very well on many levels.

As we know clearly not picking sides displays of "over-the-top classist bigotry, as well as a first-rate example of the way that so many people in the salary class like to insist that poverty is always and only the fault of the poor."

May I please be frank? http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.de/
The reason that millions of Americans have had their standard of living hammered for forty years, while the most affluent twenty per cent have become even more affluent, is no mystery. What happened was that corporate interests in this country, aided and abetted by a bipartisan consensus in government and cheered on by the great majority of the salary class, stripped the US economy of living wage jobs by offshoring most of America’s industrial economy, on the one hand, and flooding the domestic job market with millions of legal and illegal immigrants on the other.
The democrats will ignore and the republican's simply do care at all. In more areas the actual education in America is just beginning.
If they insist color was ever a issue on either side no hope is given at all since clearly they never could read what the letter meant or the book
in the first place.
The fact that the policies pushed by those same shapers of opinion have driven millions of American families into poverty and misery isn’t the most unmentionable of these things, as it happens. The most unmentionable of the things that don’t get discussed is the fact that those policies have failed.

Even the thinking Liberals are waking up that voting is not at all your best interest. Hiring one half to kill the other half is no concern to them at all or ever will be. The point blank issue is the three mindsets as discussed. And they control the first two completely.

My own opinion, which I have not seen expressed, is that the "race issue" (really the race non-issue) has been manufactured by the elites as a "divide and conquer" strategy. Probably sooner rather than later a demogogue is going to figure this out and rally the 90% against the 10% and it'll be a bloody mess. Or it could be a network of local demogogues (more likely) who then become local strongmen.

“Race” – The Divide-And-Conquer Tool Of Tyrants
August 2nd, 2013 Submitted by Amanda B. Johnson

Race Imagine we live in a society where people are grouped by hair color.

School textbooks categorize historical peoples by their hair color, continually referring to them as “indigenous redheads”, “native brunettes”, or “immigrant blonde-silvers”. We see and hear the same references being made in magazines, on the nightly news, and over talk radio.

We are taught to refer to ourselves by the hue of the strands growing from our scalps. To identify with the hue. To feel a kinship with others who share it, and regard those of other hues as belonging to a different group.

Everything from employment applications to telephone surveys to the Census—all contain the following question:

“Check which of the following best describes your hair color: 1) Blonde, 2) Brown, 3) Black, 4) Gray/Silver/White, 5) Red, 6) Of mixed hues, 7) Bald or Decline to answer”.

Imagine it had always been this way. We wouldn’t know anything different.

End the imagination exercise here.

Would it surprise anyone that in such a society, there might crop up animosity among the different groups in certain situations? That a gray-on-bald crime might raise hostilities? That entire organizations would crop up, like the National Association For The Advancement Of Redheads? Or the Ku Klux Blondes? We might even see a Brunette History Month.

The ideas in the previous paragraph are laughable. . . or are they?

Is there any difference between grouping people by the melanin in their hair versus the melanin in their epidermises? Why would anyone find the former absurd, but the latter valid?

It would appear that a certain divide-and-conquer strategy—which has given rise to the term “racism”— has done its job after all.

A second and final thought experiment: imagine for a moment that you are a sociopath, and that you aspire to rule over a people, living off the sweat of their brows as a parasite. Your biggest challenge will be to keep the people’s eyes off of you and on one another when the problems inherent to parasitic relationships begin to arise.

As your taxation ushers in poverty, you can dodge the bullet if the grays believe that the redheads are milking the system. As your regulations bring unemployment, you’re safe if the balds believe the jobs are being taken by the brunettes. When your corporatism causes rioting, you are in the clear if the silvers believe that the mixed-hues are given legal preferential treatment. When you want to go to war and must convince the people to fund it, you would do well to demonize the savage raven-heads on the other side of the world.

Racism is the friend to and the creation of the controlling collectivist—a redundant term, to be sure.

The truth is that there is only one race at issue here, and that is the human race. It is just as inane to classify by melanin as it is to classify by height, age, shoe size, chin shape, or eye color. Such groupings are tools of the State, and as such, are to be soundly rejected.

Of course the State doesn’t want us to see each other as brother and sister. Why would they? Brothers and sisters tend to trade freely with one another. They tend to look out for and protect one another. They tend to love and cherish one another. In short, they tend not to give rise to rulers. The would-be tyrant finds no fertile soil in such a place.

Which is why we must do exactly that—trade freely, protect fiercely, and love deeply.

Because the parasitic State will fall. The human family will prosper. Hasten the day.

Nice job Amanda!

Nothing is new under His Sun.

"Smite, smite, slay, thou horseman!"
to the historicity of the inscription, Boissier points out that predictions written by a mysterious hand are referred
to in a cuneiform tablet (see "Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch." 1896, xviii. 237)

As we have seen the effects of information does not change the heart of man but the essence of his grace we are given
freely in his forbearance. Fear only his hand since they cannot change what we have seen.

Ninth Amendment does indeed point to a set of judicially enforceable unenumerated rights, often calling them "natural rights," rights
that no government can legitimately deny.

The older law exists.

Things to avoid at all costs

1) To disrupt the agenda
2) To side-track the discussion
3) To interrupt repeatedly
4) To feign ignorance
5) To make an unfounded accusation against a person.

The circles to walk away from better put.

[Higgenbotham]

5) To make an unfounded accusation against a person.

Yes.

Steps the elite uses:

1. Set up a term - for example, "racism".
2. Use false propaganda to define the term in terms of false criteria and false logic, i.e. "gun owners are racist, otherwise why do you need a gun", etc.
3. Use the false definition that is generated to strip constitutional rights.
4. Use the false term and definition that is generated to demonize opposition.

Welcome to the new dark age.

The list of failing interstates and those on the brink is long and increasing as the old systems of asset stripping is picking what was grafted unto that tree. We where warned point blank that branch will be removed since it is not our garden. We already have seen this before. As noted clearly a few thinking liberals are seeing the actual miseducation process ramping up. The egg theory, private means of production to survive as when they stabilize that in price only then civilization can attempt to rebuild would suffice for now. Some remember this from the early seventy's and the misery's witnessed then. Common theme even before Seneca fell.

Dio also reports that Seneca had been involved in forcing large loans on the indigenous British aristocracy in the aftermath of Claudius's Roman conquest of Britain, and then calling them in suddenly and aggressively, which he includes as one of the factors that contributed to Boudica's rebellion. This may have contributed as well to his own downfall.

Thus we alluded to Daniels refusal to accept payment, since he was able see. He was given payment and never asked for payment.
The new government bureaucracy tried to have him slaughtered. Do seek what you cannot provide since as warned each breath is allowed from above only.

ezek Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good, and judgments by which they should not live;
(l) Because they would not obey my laws, I gave them up to themselves that they should obey their own fantasies, as in (Ezekiel 20:39; Romans 1:21,24).

The 1937 theme has been breeched today for unsavory connotations. No idea what points of the compass would do today but the Katrina's of the world point of a simple message from above.
