Has this been a hell of a month? First we had to deal with the aftermath of the devastating 9.0 earthquake that rocked Japan to its core, damaging four Nuclear Power plants beyond repair. Untold thousands still missing with the threat of serious meltdown looming, and now this? Operation Odyssey Dawn? Whats with that name anyway? At a time when you think the world would take a pause from the business as usual approach and lend a helping hand to an ailing ally, we find ourselves entering another Arab conflict with the endgame as unclear as the day President Bush sold the country on the necessity of strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have now been locked in perpetual war for the last ten years with no real out strategy in place. Saddam Hussein been dead! And when was the last time you heard the name Osama Bin Laden? Who knows maybe he retired in Hawaii for all we know, because nobody is really looking for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; With the recent onslaught of protest and clamor for regime change in the Arab world, one would think we would simply sit by the wayside and wait for the dust to settle, instead of actively choosing sides. Didnt we try that already? I recall this is how most of these tyrants got in power in the first place. One thing is for sure. This is President Obama&#39;s war. He cant blame anybody but himself if things turn out to be harder to deal with then expected. I remember President Bush confidently proclaiming the swiftness in which our armed forces would be able to get the job done and its been quite some time since he claimed Mission Accomplished. Then as now, we had a broad coalition of support, that seemed to slowly dwindle down to the few you still see helping in the campaigns today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was hoping President Obama would be able to avoid getting himself into a war of his own choosing. We have too much to handle at home with the recovery of our economy, the re-building of our infrastructure and the tackling of tough energy decisions to continue the &quot;World Police&quot; model regardless to the outcome of this current event. As president one bad decision can ruin you for good. Lets just hope Ghaddafi doesnt choose to draw this one out for the long haul. If so, our beloved President Obama would have a lot of blood on his hands. Oh yeah., dont forget about Japan! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/pages/japan-hea-2011-eappeal-pg4?open&amp;amp;campaign=113655219&quot;&gt;For info on how you can send in money for relief follow this link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/feeds/7576792031316364229/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2011/03/libya-obamas-war-quite-bush-like-hmmm.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/7576792031316364229'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/7576792031316364229'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2011/03/libya-obamas-war-quite-bush-like-hmmm.html' title='Libya.

I think we owe it to ourselves no matter our race or creed, to look into it, and its implications. When reading a document like this can be mind blowing. Here it is in its entirety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The following document, dated May 1979, was found on July 7, 1986, in an  IBM copier that had been purchased at a surplus sale.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;h1&gt;TOP SECRET&lt;br /&gt;
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Operations Research Technical Manual TM-SW7905.1&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Welcome Aboard&lt;/b&gt;    This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called  the &quot;Quiet War&quot;, being conducted using subjective biological warfare,  fought with &quot;silent weapons.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies,  and its weaponry. &lt;br /&gt;
May 1979 #74-1120 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;one&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;h2&gt;Security&lt;/h2&gt;It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation  of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent  weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives  of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.    This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing  must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a  technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person  or group of persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and  consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic  conquest - it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between  said person or group of persons and the public.  &lt;br /&gt;
The solution of today&#39;s problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly  candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values. &lt;br /&gt;
You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at  human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your  observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity  without the loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your  own best interest. Do not deviate from them.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;two&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Historical Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;Silent weapon technology has evolved from &lt;em&gt;Operations Research&lt;/em&gt;  (O.R.), a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the Military  Management in England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations  Research was to study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land  defense with the objective of effective use of limited military resources  against foreign enemies (i.e., logistics).     It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods  might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were  necessary. &lt;br /&gt;
Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the  correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data),  so a high-speed computerized data-processing system was necessary which could  race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive for  capitulation. &lt;br /&gt;
Relay computers were to slow, but the electronic computer, invented in 1946  by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, filled the bill. &lt;br /&gt;
The next breakthrough was the development of the   &lt;em&gt;simplex method&lt;/em&gt; of  linear programming in 1947 by the mathematician George B. Dantzig. &lt;br /&gt;
Then in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W.H. Brattain, and W.  Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and  power requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of  power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole  world with the push of a button. &lt;br /&gt;
Immediately, the Rockefeller Foundation got in on the ground floor by  making a four-year grant to Harvard College, funding the   &lt;em&gt;Harvard Economic Research  Project&lt;/em&gt; for the study of the structure of the American Economy. One year  later, in 1949, The United States Air Force joined in. &lt;br /&gt;
In 1952 the grant period terminated, and a high-level meeting of the Elite  was held to determine the next phase of social operations research. The Harvard  project had been very fruitful, as is borne out by the publication of some of  its results in 1953 suggesting the feasibility of economic (social) engineering.  (&lt;em&gt;Studies in the  Structure of the American Economy&lt;/em&gt; - copyright 1953 by Wassily Leontief,  International Science Press Inc., White Plains, New York). &lt;br /&gt;
Engineered in the last half of the decade of the 1940&#39;s, the new Quiet War  machine stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold-plated hardware on the showroom  floor by 1954. &lt;br /&gt;
With the creation of the   &lt;em&gt;maser&lt;/em&gt; in 1954, the  promise of unlocking unlimited sources of fusion atomic energy from the heavy  hydrogen in sea water and the consequent availability of unlimited social power  was a possibility only decades away. &lt;br /&gt;
The combination was irresistible. &lt;br /&gt;
The Quiet War was quietly declared by the International Elite at a meeting  held in 1954. &lt;br /&gt;
Although the silent weapons system was nearly exposed 13 years later, the  evolution of the new weapon-system has never suffered any major setbacks.  &lt;br /&gt;
This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet War.  Already this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts throughout the  world.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;three&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Political Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it  was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would  be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new  silent-weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were for  providing a private utopia.     The issue of primary concern, that of dominance, revolved around the  subject of the energy sciences.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;four&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Energy&lt;/h2&gt;Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science  is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science,  theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of  social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics  is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can  be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.    All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is  control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?  &lt;br /&gt;
In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called &quot;moral  issues&quot; were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed  that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no  better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of  burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent. &lt;br /&gt;
Consequently, in the interest of future world order, peace, and  tranquillity, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American  public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social  energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of  the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few. &lt;br /&gt;
In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure,  and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle  and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to  earn for themselves the name &quot;silent weapons.&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the  magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and  services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and  manipulatable. &lt;br /&gt;
In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements  of society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken,  trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age,  before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In  order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class family unit must be  disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the  establishment of government-operated day-care centers for the occupationally  orphaned children. &lt;br /&gt;
The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest  sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the  superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such  an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope  of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery  is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquillity  for the ruling upper class.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;five&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Descriptive Introduction of the Silent Weapon&lt;/h2&gt;Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a  silent weapon by its creators, but only in its own manner of functioning.    It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing,  instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead  of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a  computer programmer, instead of a marksman; under the orders of a banking  magnate, instead of a military general.   &lt;br /&gt;
It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental  injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone&#39;s daily social life.  &lt;br /&gt;
Yet it makes an unmistakable &quot;noise,&quot; causes unmistakable  physical and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with the daily social  life, i.e., unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.  &lt;br /&gt;
The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that  they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon.  &lt;br /&gt;
The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but that is  because of the technical nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their  feeling in a rational way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore,  they do not know how to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with  others to defend themselves against it.    &lt;br /&gt;
When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts to its  presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the  pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.   &lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks  the vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing,  understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social  energy, and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;six&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Theoretical Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Give me control over a nation&#39;s currency, and I  care not who makes its laws.  -- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1743 - 1812)  &lt;/blockquote&gt;Today&#39;s silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea  discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted    &lt;em&gt;Mr. Mayer Amschel Rothschild&lt;/em&gt;. Mr. Rothschild discovered the   missing passive component of  economic theory known as economic inductance. He, of course, did not think of  his discovery in these 20th-century terms, and, to be sure, mathematical  analysis had to wait for the Second Industrial Revolution, the rise of the  theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally, the invention of the  electronic computer before it could be effectively applied in the control of the  world economy.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;seven&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;General Energy Concepts&lt;/h2&gt;In the study of energy systems, there always appears three elementary  concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation.  And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure  physical counterparts called passive components.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of  &lt;em&gt;potential energy&lt;/em&gt; is associated with a physical property called elasticity or  stiffness, and can be represented by a stretched spring.     In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of  a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or  stiffness.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of &lt;em&gt;kinetic  energy&lt;/em&gt; is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be  represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion.     In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a  magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of  inertia.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of &lt;em&gt;energy  dissipation&lt;/em&gt; is associated with a physical property called friction or  resistance, and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts  energy into heat.   In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element  called either a resistor or a conductor, the term &quot;resistor&quot; being the  one generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to  convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The property  of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance  reciprocals.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:   &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Economic Capacitance&lt;/u&gt; - Capital (money, stock/inventory, investments in  buildings and durables, etc.)   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Economic Conductance&lt;/u&gt; - Goods (production flow coefficients)  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Economic Inductance&lt;/u&gt; - Services (the influence of the population of  industry on output)   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system  (e.g., mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in the study of  any other energy system (e.g., economics).       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;eight&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Mr. Rothchild&#39;s Energy Discovery&lt;/h2&gt;What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power,  influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is &quot;when  you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you.&quot;     Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had  the required appearance of power that could be used to induce people  (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering  their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real  compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of  promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he  had backing for, so long as he had someone&#39;s stock of gold as a persuader to  show his customers. &lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individual and to  governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce,  tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation  of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to  ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine  who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its  economic system got his support. &lt;br /&gt;
Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the  debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology mad Mr. Rothschild all  the more able to expand his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow  currency to be printed by government order beyond the limits (inflation) of  backing in precious metal or the production of goods and services.      &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;nine&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Apparent Capital as &quot;Paper&quot; Inductor&lt;/h2&gt;In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called &quot;currency,&quot;  has the appearance of capital, but is in effect negative capital. Hence, it has  the appearance of service, but is in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is therefore  an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if balanced in no  other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war, genocide). The  total goods and services represent real capital called the gross national  product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent  economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive,  represents the introduction of economic inductance, and constitutes notes of  indebtedness.     War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors  (the public which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency)  and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and regeneration  of those resources. &lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange  the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic inductance to  those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability  and oscillation. &lt;br /&gt;
The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient  data and high-speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic  oscillations created by price shocking and excess paper energy credits - paper  inductance/inflation.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;ten&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Breakthrough&lt;/h2&gt;The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering  by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a  projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil  is monitored by vibration transducers connected to the airframe and wired to  chart recorders.     By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the  airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the  airframe which either vibrations of the engine or &lt;em&gt;aeolian vibrations&lt;/em&gt;  of the wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a  resonant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the  standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the  structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and  manipulated.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;eleven&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Application in Economics&lt;/h2&gt;To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the  prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is  monitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted  theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is  thus discovered. It is by this process that &lt;em&gt;partial differential and  difference matrices&lt;/em&gt; are discovered that define the family household and  make possible its evaluation as an economic industry (dissipative consumer  structure).   Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and  manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins under  the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping  system. &lt;br /&gt;
Eventually every individual element of the structure comes under computer  control through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed  by computer association of consumer preferences (universal product code, UPC;  zebra-striped pricing codes on packages) with identified consumers (identified  via association with the use of a credit card and later a permanent &quot;tattooed&quot;  body number invisible under normal ambient illumination).    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;Economics is only a social extension of a natural energy system.  It,  also, has its three passive components.  Because of the distribution of  wealth and the lack of communication and lack of data, this field has  been the last energy field for which a knowledge of these three passive  components has been developed.    Since energy is the key to all activity on the  face of the earth, it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of  energy, raw materials, goods, and services and to establixh a world  system of slave labor, it is necessary to have a first strike capability  in the field of economics.  In order to maintain our position, it is  necessary that we have absolute first knowledge of the science of  control over all economic factors and the first experience at  engineering the world economy.    &lt;br /&gt;
In order to achieve such sovereignty, we  must at least achieve this one end:  that the public will not make  either the logical or mathematical connection between economics and the  other energy sciences or learn to apply such knowledge.    &lt;br /&gt;
This is becoming increasingly difficult to  control because more and more businesses are making demands upon their  computer programmers to create and apply mathematical models for the  management of those businesses.    &lt;br /&gt;
It is only a matter of time before the new  breed of private programmer/economists will catch on to the far  reaching implications of the work begun at Harvard in 1948.  The speed  with which they can communicate their warning to the public will largely  depend upon how effective we have been at controlling the media,  subverting education, and keeping the public distracted with matters of  no real importance.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twelve&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Economic Model&lt;/h2&gt;Economics, as a social energy science has as a first objective the  description of the complex way in which any given unit of resources is  used to satisfy some economic want.  (Leontief Matrix).  This first  objective, when it is extended to get the most product from the least or  limited resources, comprises that objective of general military and  industrial logistics known as Operations Research.  (See simplex method  of linear programming.)    The &lt;em&gt;Harvard Economic Research Project&lt;/em&gt; (1948-) was an extension of World War II   &lt;em&gt;Operations Research&lt;/em&gt;.  Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling an economy: at first the  American economy, and then the world economy. It was felt that with sufficient  mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and  control the trend of an economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a  projectile. Such has proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been  transformed into a guided missile on target. &lt;br /&gt;
The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic  structure, what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the structure  can be predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was needed was a  well-organized knowledge of the mathematical structures and interrelationships  of investment, production, distribution, and consumption. &lt;br /&gt;
To make a short story of it all, it was discovered that an economy obeyed  the same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and  practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be  directly applied in the study of economics. This discovery was not openly  declared, and its more subtle implications were and are kept a closely guarded  secret, for example that in an economic model, human life is measured in  dollars, and that the electric spark generated when opening a switch connected  to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation of war.  &lt;br /&gt;
The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the accurate  description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge because  consumer purchases are a matter of choice which in turn is influenced by income,  price, and other economic factors. &lt;br /&gt;
This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximate way by  an application of shock testing to determine the current characteristics, called  current technical coefficients, of a household industry &lt;br /&gt;
Finally, because problems in theoretical electronics can be translated very  easily into problems of theoretical electronics, and the solution translated  back again, it follows that only a book of language translation and concept  definition needed to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten  from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication  of books on advanced economics unnecessary, and greatly simplifies project  security.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Industrial Diagrams&lt;/h2&gt;An ideal industry is defined as a device which receives value from other  industries in several forms and converts them into one specific product for  sales and distribution to other industries. It has several inputs and one  output. What the public normally thinks of as one industry is really an  industrial complex, where several industries under one roof produce one or more  products.    A pure (single output) industry can be represented oversimply by a circuit block as follows:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Industry &#39;K&#39;&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/01.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    The flow of product from industry #1 (supply) to industry #2 (demand) is denoted by 1&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt;.  The total flow out of industry &quot;K&quot; is denoted by I&lt;sub&gt;k&lt;/sub&gt; (sales, etc.).    &lt;br /&gt;
A three industry network can be diagrammed as follows:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;3 Industry Network&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/02.gif&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    A node is a symbol of collection and  distribution of flow.  Node #3 receives from industry #3 and distributes  to industries #1 and #3.  If industry #3 manufactures chairs, then a  flow from industry #3 back to industry #3 simply indicates that industry  #3 is using part of its own output product, for example, as office  furniture.  Therefore the flow may be summarized by the equations:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equations&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/03.gif&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;fourteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Three Industrial Classes&lt;/h2&gt;Industries fall into three categories or classes by type of output:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Class #1 - Capital (resources)   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Class #2 - Goods (commodities or use - dissipative)   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Class #3 - Services (action of population)  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Class #1 industries exist at three levels:    &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Nature - sources  of energy and raw materials.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Government - printing of currency equal to  the gross national product (GNP), and extension of currency in excess of GNP.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Banking - loaning of money for interest, and extension  (inflation/counterfeiting) of economic value through the   deposit loan accounts.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Class #2 industries exist as producers of tangible or consumer  (dissipated) products. This sort of activity is usually recognized and labeled  by the public as &quot;industry.&quot;   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Class #3 industries are those which have service rather than a  tangible product as their output. These industries are called (1) households,  and (2) governments. Their output is human activity of a mechanical sort, and  their basis is population.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;fifteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Aggregation&lt;/h2&gt;The whole economic system can be represented by a three-industry model if  one allows the names of the outputs to be (1) capital, (2) goods, and (3)  services. The problem with this representation is that it would not show the  influence, say, the textile industry on the ferrous metal industry. This is  because both the textile industry and the ferrous metal industry would be  contained within a single classification called the &quot;goods industry&quot;  and by this process of combining or aggregating these two industries under one  system block they would lose their economic individuality.      &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;sixteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;The E-Model&lt;/h2&gt;A national economy consists of simultaneous flows of production,  distribution, consumption, and investment. If all of these elements including  labor and human functions are assigned a numerical value in like units of  measure, say, 1939 dollars, then this flow can be further represented by a  current flow in an electronic circuit, and its behavior can be predicted and  manipulated with useful precision.     &lt;em&gt;The three ideal passive energy components of electronics, the  capacitor, the resistor, and the inductor correspond to the three ideal passive  energy components of economics called the pure industries of capital, goods, and  services, respectively.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; Economic capacitance represents the storage of capital in one form or  another.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Economic conductance represents the level of conductance of materials for  the production of goods.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Economic inductance represents the inertia of economic value in motion.  This is a population phenomenon known as services.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;seventeen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Economic Inductance&lt;/h2&gt;An electrical inductor (e.g., a coil or wire) has an electric current as  its primary phenomenon and a magnetic field as its secondary phenomenon  (inertia). Corresponding to this, an economic inductor has a flow of economic  value as its primary phenomenon and a population field as its secondary field  phenomenon of inertia. When the flow of economic value (e.g., money) diminishes,  the human population field collapses in order to keep the economic value (money)  flowing (extreme case - war).   This public inertia is a result of consumer buying habits, expected  standard of living, etc., and is generally a phenomenon of self-preservation.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;eighteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Inductive Factors to Consider&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Population  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Magnitude of the economic activities of the  government  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; The method of financing these government activities  (See &lt;em&gt;Peter-Paul Principle&lt;/em&gt; - inflation of the currency.)  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;nineteen&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Translation&lt;/h2&gt;(a few examples will be given.)    &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Charge&lt;/u&gt;: coulombs; dollars (1939).   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Flow/Current&lt;/u&gt;: amperes (coulombs per second); dollars of flow per year.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Motivating Force&lt;/u&gt;: volts; dollars (output) demand.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Conductance&lt;/u&gt;: amperes per volt; dollars of flow per year per dollar demand.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Capacitance&lt;/u&gt;: coulombs per volt; dollars of production inventory/stock  per dollar demand.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twenty&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Time Flow Relationships and Self-Destructive Oscillations&lt;/h2&gt;An ideal industry may be symbolized electronically in various ways. The  simplest way is to represent a demand by a voltage and a supply by a current.  When this is done, the relationship between the two becomes what is called an  admittance, which can result from three economic factors:   (1) foresight flow, (2) present flow, and (3) hindsight flow.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Foresight flow&lt;/em&gt; is the result of that property of living entities to cause  energy (food) to be stored for a period of low energy (e.g., a winter season).  It consists of demands made upon an economic system for that period of low  energy (winter season).   In a production industry it takes several forms, one of which is known as  production stock or inventory. In electronic symbology this specific industry  demand (a pure capital industry) is represented by capacitance and the stock or  resource is represented by a stored charge. Satisfaction of an industry demand  suffers a lag because of the loading effect of inventory priorities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;em&gt;Present flow&lt;/em&gt; ideally involves no delays. It is, so to speak, input today  for output today, a &quot;hand to mouth&quot; flow. In electronic symbology,  this specific industry demand (a pure us industry) is represented by a  conductance which is then a simple economic valve (a dissipative element).    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hindsight flow&lt;/em&gt; is known as habit or inertia. In electronics this   phenomenon  is the characteristic of an inductor (economic analog = a pure service industry)  in which a current flow (economic analog = flow of money) creates a magnetic  field (economic analog = active human population) which, if the current (money  flow) begins to diminish, collapse (war) to maintain the current (flow of money  - energy).       Other large alternatives to war as economic inductors or economic flywheels  are an open-ended social welfare program, or an enormous (but fruitful)  open-ended space program.     &lt;br /&gt;
The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much  demand on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.  &lt;br /&gt;
This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be balanced with  economic capacitance (true resources or value - e.g., in goods or services).  &lt;br /&gt;
The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit  balance system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive  people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful,  however, because the recipients become state property in return for the &quot;gift,&quot;  a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks the tune. &lt;br /&gt;
Those who get hooked on the economic drug, must go to the elite for a fix.  In this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is  by borrowing on the future &quot;credit&quot; of the world. This is a fourth law  of motion - onset, and consists of performing an action and leaving the system  before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action - a delayed  reaction.   &lt;br /&gt;
The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before the  reaction can return. By this means, politicians become more popular in their own  time and the public pays later. In fact, the measure of such a politician is the  delay time.   &lt;br /&gt;
The same thing is achieved by a government by printing money beyond the  limit of the gross national product, and economic process called   &lt;em&gt;inflation&lt;/em&gt;. This  puts a large quantity of money into the hands of the public and maintains a  balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence in them and, for  awhile, stays the wolf from the door.   &lt;br /&gt;
They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because war  ultimately is merely the act of destroying the creditor, and the politicians are  the publicly hired hit men that justify the act to keep the responsibility and  blood off the public conscience. (See section on consent factors and  social-economic structuring.)   &lt;br /&gt;
If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their  appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate on a  credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to satisfy the bum.  &lt;br /&gt;
Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are  only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;   Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only  result in a total destruction of the living earth.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Take control of the world by the use of economic &quot;silent weapons&quot;  in a form of &quot;quiet warfare&quot; and reduce the economic inductance of the  world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this  point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the  silent weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own  mentality and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating  barbarians, and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.   They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not  been able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their religious or  self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of  the earthly problem unreachable to them. &lt;br /&gt;
It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the  fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really  care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of  preserving the seed of the future true humanity.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;20a&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Industry Equivalent Circuits&lt;/h2&gt;The industry &#39;Q&#39; can be given a block symbol as follows:    &lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Industry &#39;Q&#39;&quot; height=&quot;175&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/04.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    Terminals #1 through #m are connected directly to the outputs of industries #1 and #m, respectively.    &lt;br /&gt;
The equivalent circuit of industry &#39;Q&#39; is given as follows:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Equivalent of &#39;Q&#39;&quot; height=&quot;325&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/05.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    Characteristics:    &lt;br /&gt;
All inputs are at zero volts.  &lt;br /&gt;
A - Amplifier - causes output current I&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt; to be represented by a voltage E&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;. Amplifier delivers sufficient current at E&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt; to drive all loads Y&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; through Y&lt;sub&gt;mQ&lt;/sub&gt; and sink all currents i&lt;sub&gt;1Q&lt;/sub&gt; through i&lt;sub&gt;mQ&lt;/sub&gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
The unit transconductance amplifier A&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt; is constructed as follows:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;transconductance amplifier&quot; height=&quot;275&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/06.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    * Arrow denotes the direction of the flow of capital, goods, and services. The total demand is given as E&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;, where E&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;=I&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Coupling Network&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/07.gif&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    The coupling network Y&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt; symbolizes the demand which industry Q makes on industry P.  the connective admittance Y&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt;  is called the &#39;technical coefficient&#39; of the industry Q stating the  demand of industry Q, called the industry of use, for the output in  capital, goods, or services of industry P called the industry of origin.     &lt;br /&gt;
The flow of commodities from industry P to industry Q is given by i&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt; evaluated by the formula:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;i&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt; = Y&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt;* E&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;.&lt;/center&gt;    When the admittance Y&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt; is a simple conductance, this formula takes on the common appearance of Ohm&#39;s Law,  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;i&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt; = g&lt;sub&gt;PQ&lt;/sub&gt;* I&lt;sub&gt;Q&lt;/sub&gt;.&lt;/center&gt;    The interconnection of a three industry system can be diagrammed as  follows.  The blocks of the industry diagram can be opened up revealing  the technical coefficients, and a much simpler format.  The equations of  flow are given as follows:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equations of flow&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/08.gif&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;20b&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Stages of Schematic Simplification&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Stages&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/09.gif&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;20c&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Generalization&lt;/h2&gt;All of this may now be summarized.    &lt;br /&gt;
Let I&lt;sub&gt;j&lt;/sub&gt; represent the output of industry j, and    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;i&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt;, the amount of the product of industry j absorbed annually by industry k, and  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;i&lt;sub&gt;jo&lt;/sub&gt;, the amount of the same product j made available for &#39;outside&#39; use. Then  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/10.gif&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    Substituting the technical coefficiences, y&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt;  &lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/11.gif&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    which is the general equation of every admittance in the industry circuit.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;20d&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Final Bill of Goods&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/12.gif&quot; width=&quot;360&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    is called the final bill of goods or the bill of final demand, and is  zero when the system can be closed by the evaluation of the technical  coefficients of the &#39;non-productive&#39; industries, government and  households.  Households may be regarded as a productive industry with  labor as its output product.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;20e&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Technical Coefficients&lt;/h2&gt;The quantities y&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; are called the technical coefficients of  the industrial system. They are admittances and can consist of any  combination of three passive parameters, conductance, capacitance, and  inductance. Diodes are used to make the flow unidirectional and point  against the flow.    &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;g&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; = economic conductance, absorption coefficient  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;y&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; = economic capacitance, capital coefficient  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;L&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; = economic inductance, human activity coefficient  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Types of Admittances&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;admittance schematic&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/13.gif&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;admittance schematic&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/14.gif&quot; width=&quot;375&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentyone&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;The Household Industry&lt;/h2&gt;The industries of finance (banking), manufacturing, and government, real  counterparts of the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, are easily  defined because they are generally logically structured. Because of this their  processes can be described mathematically and their technical coefficients can  be easily deduced. This, however, is not the case with the service industry  known as the household industry.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentytwo&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Household Models&lt;/h2&gt;When the industry flow diagram is represented by a 2-block system of  households on the right and all other industries on the left, the  following results:    &lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;labor, etc.&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/15.gif&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    The arrows from left to right labeled A, B, C, etc., denote flow of  economic value from the industries in the left hand block to the  industry in the right hand block called &#39;households&#39;. These may be  thought of as the monthly consumer flows of the following commodities. A  - alcoholic beverages, B - beef, C - coffee, . . . . , U - unknown,  etc. . .    &lt;br /&gt;
The problem which a theoretical economist faces is that the consumer  preferences of any household is not easily predictable and the technical  coefficients of any one household tend to be a nonlinear, very complex, and  variable function of income, prices, etc.   &lt;br /&gt;
Computer information derived from the use of the universal product code in  conjuction with credit-card purchase as an individual household identifier could  change this state of affairs, but the U.P.C. method is not yet available on a  national or even a significant regional scale. To compensate for this data  deficiency, an alternate indirect approach of analysis has been adopted known as  economic shock testing. This method, widely used in the aircraft manufacturing  industry, develops an aggregate statistical sort of data.   &lt;br /&gt;
Applied to economics, this means that all of the households in one region  or in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than individually,  and the mass behavior rather than the individual behavior is used to discover  useful estimates of the technical coefficients governing the economic structure  of the hypothetical single-household industry.    &lt;br /&gt;
Notice in the industry flow diagram that the values for the flows  A, B, C, etc. are accessible to measurement in terms of selling prices  and total sales of commodities.    &lt;br /&gt;
One method of evaluating the technical coefficients of the household  industry depends upon shocking the prices of a commodity and noting the changes  in the sales of all of the commodities.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentythree&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Economic Shock Testing&lt;/h2&gt;In recent times, the application of   &lt;em&gt;Operations Research&lt;/em&gt;  to the study of the public economy has been obvious for anyone who understands  the principles of shock testing.   In the shock testing of an aircraft airframe, the recoil impulse of firing  a gun mounted on that airframe causes shock waves in that structure which tell  aviation engineers the conditions under which some parts of the airplane or the  whole airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like a guitar  string, a flute reed, or a tuning fork, and disintegrate or fall apart in  flight. &lt;br /&gt;
Economic engineers achieve the same result in studying the behavior of the  economy and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple commodity such  as beef, coffee, gasoline, or sugar, and then causing a sudden change or shock  in its price or availability, thus kicking everybody&#39;s budget and buying habits  out of shape. &lt;br /&gt;
They then observe the shock waves which result by monitoring the changes in  advertising, prices, and sales of that and other commodities. &lt;br /&gt;
The objective of such studies is to acquire the know-how to set the public  economy into a predictable state of motion or change, even a controlled  self-destructive state of motion which will convince the public that certain &quot;expert&quot;  people should take control of the money system and reestablish security (rather  than liberty and justice) for all. When the subject citizens are rendered unable  to control their financial affairs, they, of course, become totally enslaved, a  source of cheap labor. &lt;br /&gt;
Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can  be used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes deliver excellent tests  shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking  (transportation), communication, public utilities (energy, water, garbage  collection), etc. &lt;br /&gt;
By shock testing, it is found that there is a direct relationship between  the availability of money flowing in an economy and the real psychological  outlook and response of masses of people dependent upon that availability.  &lt;br /&gt;
For example, there is a measurable quantitative relationship between the  price of gasoline and the probability that a person would experience a headache,  feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a  mug of beer. &lt;br /&gt;
It is most interesting that, by observing and measuring the economic models  by which the public tries to run from their problems and escape from reality,  and by applying the mathematical theory of &lt;em&gt;Operations Research&lt;/em&gt;,  it is possible to program computers to predict the most probable combination of  created events (shocks) which will bring about a complete control and  subjugation of the public through a subversion of the public economy (by shaking  the plum tree).    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;23a&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Introduction to the Theory of Economic Shock Testing&lt;/h2&gt;Let the prices and total sales of commodities be given and symbolized as follows:    &lt;center&gt;  &lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Commodities&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Price Function&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Total Sales&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;alcoholic beverages&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;A&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;A&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;beef&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;B&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;B&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;coffee&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;C&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;C&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;gasoline&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;G&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;G&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;sugar&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;S&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;S&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;tobacco&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;T&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;T&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;unknown balance&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;U&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/curs-s.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;sub&gt;U&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    Let us assume a simple economic model in which the total number of  important (staple) commodities are represented as beef, gasoline, and an  aggregate of all other staple commodities which we will call the  hypothetical miscellaneous staple commodity &#39;M&#39; (e.g., M is an aggregate  of C, S, T, U, etc.).    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;23b&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Example of Shock Testing&lt;/h2&gt;Assume that the total sales, P, of petroleum products can be described  by the linear function of the quantities B, G, and M, which are  functions of the prices of those respective commodities.    &lt;center&gt;P = a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; B + a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; G + a&lt;sub&gt;PM&lt;/sub&gt; M&lt;/center&gt;    Then where B, G, and M are functions of the prices of beef, gasoline, and miscellaneous, respectively, and a&lt;sub&gt;PB&lt;/sub&gt;, a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt;, and a&lt;sub&gt;PM&lt;/sub&gt;  are constant coefficients defining the amount by which each of the  functions B, G, and M affect the sales, P, of petroleum products. We are  assuming that B, G, and M are variables independent of each other.    &lt;br /&gt;
If the availability or price of gasoline is suddenly changed, then G must be replaced by G +  &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G. This causes a change in the petroleum sales from P to P + &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; P. Also we will assume that B and M remain constant when G changes to G +  &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;(P + &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; P) = a&lt;sub&gt;PB&lt;/sub&gt; B + a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; (G +  &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G) + a&lt;sub&gt;PM&lt;/sub&gt;M.    Expanding upon this expression, we get    &lt;br /&gt;
P + &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; P = a&lt;sub&gt;PB&lt;/sub&gt; B + a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; G + a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G + a&lt;sub&gt;PM&lt;/sub&gt; M    &lt;br /&gt;
and subtracting the original value of P we get for the change in P    &lt;br /&gt;
Change in P = &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; P = a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G    &lt;br /&gt;
Dividing by &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G we get    &lt;br /&gt;
a&lt;sub&gt;PG&lt;/sub&gt; = &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; P / &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G .  &lt;/center&gt;    This is a rate of change in P due only to an isolated change in G, &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/tri.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; G.    &lt;br /&gt;
In general, a&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; is the partial rate of change in the  sales effect j due to a change in the causal price function of commodity  k. If the interval of time were infinitesimal, this expression would be  reduced to the definition of the total differential of a function, P.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/16.gif&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    When the price of gasoline is shocked, all of the coefficients with  round G (2G) in the denominator are evaluated at the same time. If B, G,  and M were independent, and sufficient for description of the economy,  then three shock tests would be necessary to evaluate the system.    &lt;br /&gt;
There are other factors which may be represented the same way.    &lt;br /&gt;
For example, the tendency of a docile sub-nation to withdraw under economic pressure may be given by    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/17.gif&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    where G is the price of gasoline, W&lt;sub&gt;P&lt;/sub&gt; is the dollars spent per  unit time (referenced to say 1939) for war production during &#39;peace&#39;  time, etc.  These quantities are presented to a computer in matrix  format as follows:    &lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;equation&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/18.gif&quot; width=&quot;375&quot; /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;
and    &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;X&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = G&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td&gt;Y&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = P - K&lt;sub&gt;P&lt;/sub&gt;  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;X&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = B&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td&gt;Y&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; = F - K&lt;sub&gt;F&lt;/sub&gt;  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td&gt;X&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; = etc.&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td&gt;Y&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; = etc.&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    Finally, inverting this matrix, i.e., solving for the X&lt;sub&gt;k&lt;/sub&gt; terms of the Y&lt;sub&gt;j&lt;/sub&gt;, we get, say,    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;b&lt;sub&gt;kj&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;] [&lt;/span&gt;Y&lt;sub&gt;j&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt; ] = [&lt;/span&gt;X&lt;sub&gt;k&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;] .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;    This is the result into which we substitute to get that set of  conditions of prices of commodities, bad news on TV, etc., which will  deliver a collapse of public morale ripe for take over.    &lt;br /&gt;
Once the economic price and sales coefficients a&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt; and b&lt;sub&gt;kj&lt;/sub&gt; are determined, they may be translated into the technical supply and demand coefficients g&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt;, C&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt;, and 1/L&lt;sub&gt;jk&lt;/sub&gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
Shock testing of a given commodity is then repeated to get the time rate of change of these technical coefficients.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentyfour&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Introduction to Economic Amplifiers&lt;/h2&gt;Economic amplifiers are the active components of economic engineering. The  basic characteristic of any amplifier (mechanical, electrical, or economic) is  that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent  energy source to a specified output terminal in a predictable relationship to  that input control signal.   The simplest form of an economic amplifier is a device called advertising.  &lt;br /&gt;
If a person is spoken to by a T.V. advertiser as if he were a  twelve-year-old, then, due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain  probability, respond or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of  a twelve-year-old and will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its  energy to but that product on impulse when he passes it in the store. &lt;br /&gt;
An economic amplifier may have several inputs and output. Its response  might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol might be a rotary switch  if its options are exclusive, qualitative, &quot;go&quot; or &quot;no-go&quot;,  or it might have its parametric input/output relationships specified by a matrix  with internal energy sources represented. &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever its form might be, its purpose is to govern the flow of energy  from a source to an output sink in direct relationship to an input control  signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component.  &lt;br /&gt;
Economic Amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and, in comparison  with electronic amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an economic  amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical. &lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, economic amplifiers not only deliver power gain but also, in  effect, are used to cause changes in the economic circuitry. &lt;br /&gt;
In the design of an economic amplifier we must have some idea of at least  five functions, which are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; the available input signals  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; the desired output-control  objectives,  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; the strategic objective,  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; the available economic  power sources,  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; the logistical options.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the  economic amplifier into an economic system has been popularly called  &lt;em&gt;game theory&lt;/em&gt;.    The design of an economic amplifier begins with a specification of the  power level of the output, which can range from personal to national. The second  condition is accuracy of response, i.e., how accurately the output action is a  function of the input commands. High gain combined with strong feedback helps to  deliver the required precision. &lt;br /&gt;
Most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data  tends to be specified, while national input data tends to be statistical.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentyfive&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

                                people in each other. &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentyeight&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Diversion, the Primary Strategy&lt;/h2&gt;Experience has prevent that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon  and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and  ignorant of the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them  confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the  other hand.    This is achieved by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a  low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design  and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their  indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional  rape) by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media -  especially the T.V. and the newspapers.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; giving them what they desire -  in excess - &quot;junk food for thought&quot; - and depriving them of what they  really need.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant  creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly  fabricated outside priorities.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of  social automation technology.   The general rule is that there is a profit in confusion; the more  confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems  and then offer solutions.     &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;twentynine&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Diversion Summary&lt;/h2&gt;Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social  issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.   Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real  economics, real law, and real history. &lt;br /&gt;
Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level.  &lt;br /&gt;
Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the  farm with the other animals.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirty&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Consent, the Primary Victory&lt;/h2&gt;A silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by  legal (but not always lawful) force. Much information is made available to  silent weapon systems programmers through the Internal Revenue Service. (See  &lt;em&gt;Studies in the Structure of the American Economy&lt;/em&gt; for an I.R.S. source  list.)   This information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organized data  contained in federal and state tax forms, collected, assembled, and submitted by  slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers. &lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted to the I.R.S. is a useful  indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making.  Other data sources are given in the Short List of Inputs. &lt;br /&gt;
Consent Coefficients - numerical feedback indicating victory status.  Psychological basis: When the government is able to collect tax and seize  private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public  is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. A  good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public  citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest  service from the government.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtyone&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Amplification Energy Sources&lt;/h2&gt;The next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is  discovering the energy sources. The energy sources which support any primitive  economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials, and the consent of  the people to labor and consequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or  class in the social structure, i.e., to provide labor at various levels in the  pecking order.   Each class, in guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class  immediately below it, hence preserves the class structure. This provides  stability and security, but also government from the top. &lt;br /&gt;
As time goes on and communication and education improve, the lower-class  elements of the social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the  good things that the upper-class members have. They also begin to attain a  knowledge of energy systems and the ability to enforce their rise through the  class structure. &lt;br /&gt;
This threatens the sovereignty of the elite. &lt;br /&gt;
If this rise of the lower classes can be postponed long enough, the elite  can achieve energy dominance, and labor by consent no longer will hold a  position of an essential energy source. &lt;br /&gt;
Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of  people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into  consideration, since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the  final transfer of energy sources to the control of the elite. &lt;br /&gt;
It is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an  essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification.  &lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be considered.    &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtytwo&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Logistics&lt;/h2&gt;The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of  inputs, outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the  available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.    A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then  levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors.  &lt;br /&gt;
This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its  subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed, until by this process, one arrives  at the logistical &quot;atom,&quot; the individual.     &lt;br /&gt;
This is where the process of synthesis propery begins, at the time of birth of the individual.      &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtythree&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Artificial Womb&lt;/h2&gt;From the time a person leaves its mother&#39;s womb, its every effort is  directed towards building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs,  various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.   The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment  for both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the evolutionary  processes of growth and maturity - i.e., survival; to provide security for  freedom and to provide defensive protection for offensive activity.  &lt;br /&gt;
This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However,  there is a definite difference in the way each of these classes go about the  solution of problems.      &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtyfour&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Political Structure of a Nation - Dependency&lt;/h2&gt;The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a  political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own  dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human god to  eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises,  put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at  night, and tell them that everything will be alright when they wake up in the  morning.   This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the politician, meets  incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing.  So who is the bigger liar? the public? or the &quot;godfather&quot;?  &lt;br /&gt;
This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expediency.  It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a  disgusting public.      &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtyfive&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Action/Offense&lt;/h2&gt;Most people want to be able to subdue and/or kill other human beings which  disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral  and religious issues which such an overt act on their part might raise.  Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others (including their own children)  so as to keep the blood off their hands. They rave about the humane treatment of  animals and then sit down to a delicious hamburger from a whitewashed  slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight. But even more hypocritical,  they pay taxes to finance a professional association of hit men collectively  called politicians, and then complain about corruption in government.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtysix&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Responsibility&lt;/h2&gt;Again, most people want to be free to do the things (to explore, etc.) but  they are afraid to fail.   The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility, and especially in  delegating those personal responsibilities to others where success is uncertain  or carries possible or created liabilities (law) which the person is not  prepared to accept. They want authority (root word - &quot;author&quot;), but  they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to  face reality for them.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtyseven&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;The people hire the politicians so that the people can:    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; obtain security without managing it.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; obtain action without  thinking about it.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; inflict theft, injury, and death upon others  without having to contemplate either life or death.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; avoid responsibility for their own intentions.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting   themselves in the discipline of facing or  learning either of these things.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war  machine to:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; provide for the survival of the nation/womb.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; prevent encroachment of anything upon the nation/womb.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; destroy the enemy who threatens the nation/womb.   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; destroy those citizens of their  own country who do not conform for the sake of stability of the nation/womb.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Politicians hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police  which are soldiers, the attorneys and C.P.A.s next who are spies and saboteurs  (licensed), and the judges who shout orders and run the closed union military  shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are industrialists. The &quot;presidential&quot;  level of commander-in-chief is shared by the international bankers. The people  know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes  (consent), but they would rather knuckle under than be the hypocrite.   Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a docile  sub-nation [great silent majority] and a political sub-nation. The political  sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation, tolerates it, and leaches  its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself and then devour its  parent.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtyeight&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;System Analysis&lt;/h2&gt;In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about war, the  primary economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete logistical values  to each element of the war structure - personnel and material alike.    This process begins with a clear and candid description of the subsystems  of such a structure.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;thirtynine&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Draft (As military service)&lt;/h2&gt;Few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more  effective than that of the socio-military institution known as the draft. A  primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill, by  intimidation, in the young males of a society the uncritical conviction that the  government is omnipotent. He is soon taught that a prayer is slow to reverse  what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious  environment for eighteen years of his life can, by this instrument of the  government, be broken down, be purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter  of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to  instill.   Even more interesting is the process by which a young man&#39;s parents, who  purportedly love him, can be induced to send him off to war to his death.  Although the scope of this work will not allow this matter to be expanded in  full detail, nevertheless, a coarse overview will be possible and can serve to  reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer  analysis of social and war systems.     &lt;br /&gt;
We begin with a tentative definition of the draft.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The draft (selective service, etc.) is an  institution of compulsory collective sacrifice and slavery, devised by  the middle-aged and elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into  doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as  guilty as the elders, thus making criticism of the elders by the youth  less likely (Generational Stabilizer). It is marketed and and sold to  the public under the label of &quot;patriotic = national&quot; service.    Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition  is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a Human Value System,  which in turn is translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such a  slave laborer is given in a Table of Human Values, a table broken down into  categories by intellect, experience, post-service job demand, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in  terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are  harder to value because they are unique to the demands of social subversion, for  an extreme example: the value of a mother&#39;s instruction to her daughter, causing  that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband ten or  fifteen years hence; thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of a  government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the State of New York  in, say, twenty years. &lt;br /&gt;
Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of wartime  espionage and many types of psychological testing. But crude mathematical models  (algorithms, etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at least to predeterminate  these events with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation  is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines, levers  which may be grasped and turned, and there is little real difference between  automating a society and automating a shoe factory. &lt;br /&gt;
These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current Table  of Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in true measure  rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being presently inflated  beyond the production of national goods and services so as to give the economy a  false kinetic energy (&quot;paper&quot; inductance).  &lt;br /&gt;
The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount with a  gram of silver today as it could be bought in 1920. Human value measured in  silver units changes slightly due to changes in production technology.       &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;forty&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Enforcement&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Factor I  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  As in every social system approach, stability is achieved only by  understanding and accounting for human nature (action/reaction patterns). A  failure to do so can be, and usually is, disastrous.   As in other human social schemes, one form or another of intimidation (or  incentive) is essential to the success of the draft. Physical principles of  action and reaction must be applied to both internal and external subsystems.  
To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both the  family unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under control.    &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Factor II - Father  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior will  grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising media,  etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped before or by  the time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch  cut out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship  will be zero. He is made to see that women demand security more than logical,  principled, or honorable behavior.   By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone) will  slam a gun into junior&#39;s hand before father will risk the censure of his peers,  or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in his own  personal opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will be  embarrassed. So junior will go to war, the true purpose not withstanding.     &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Factor III - Mother  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  The female element of human society is ruled by emotion first and logic  second. In the battle between logic and imagination, imagination always wins,  fantasy prevails, maternal instinct dominates so that the child comes first and  the future comes second. A woman with a newborn baby is too starry-eyed to see a  wealthy man&#39;s cannon fodder or a cheap source of slave labor. A woman must,  however, be conditioned to accept the transition to &quot;reality&quot; when it  comes, or sooner.   As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be  carefully disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and  state-operated child-care centers must be become more common and legally  enforced so as to begin the detachment of the child from the mother and father  at an earlier age. Inoculation of behavioral drugs [Ritalin] can speed the  transition for the child (mandatory). Caution: A woman&#39;s impulsive anger can  override her fear. An irate woman&#39;s power must never be underestimated, and her  power over a pussy-whipped husband must likewise never be underestimated. It got  women the vote in 1920.    &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Factor IV - Junior  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  The emotional pressure for self-preservation during the time of war and the  self-serving attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid the  battlefield - if junior can be persuaded to go - is all of the pressure finally  necessary to propel Johnny off to war. Their quiet blackmailings of him are the  threats: &quot;No sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends.&quot;    &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Factor V - Sister  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  And what about junior&#39;s sister? She is given all the good things of life by  her father, and taught to expect the same from her future husband regardless of  the price.       &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Factor VI - Cattle  &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;  Those who will not use their brains are no better off than those who have  no brains, and so this mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son, and  daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.    &lt;hr /&gt;  This concludes what is available of this document.

Sometimes you have to just turn off CNN or Fox News and just watch the game. This has managed to become one of the most exciting years in recent memory in professional basketball. Rookies John Wall and the unbelievable Blake Griffen have taken the league by storm, while young stars like Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, and a host of others have also vastly inproved their games. The old guard still managing to hold on as Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ginobli, Duncan, and Kobe Bryant still playing up to their usual standards. The vaunted Miami Heat squad has even shown to be very promising. David Stern must be sitting somewhere smiling his goofy grin. SO with that being said here are my list of top contenders who will be vying to dethrone my Lakers squad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nba.com/spurs/&quot;&gt;San Antonio Spurs&amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This team is once again proving to be more than meets the eye. Just as we thought Tim Duncan and co were old, they come back with their best first half of the season ever at 40-7. Greg Popovich is the second best coach in the game for a reason. He has been able to keep his game plan in place regardless to the shuffling of rotations over the years. Richard Jefferson is a big part of the story. Finally feeling comfortable in his diminished role, he is benifitting greatly from playing within the offense. Tim Duncan is Tim Duncan. Nuff said. Tony Parker is having perhaps his best overall season And Ginobli is scoring over 20 a game again. We may be looking at the best Spurs team yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nba.com/celtics/index.html&quot;&gt;Boston Celtics &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I hate to admit it but this team does look dangerous. They may have the motivation and the means to take out my beloved Lakers in a 6-7 game series. When the Celtics front office saw how they were demolished on the boards in game 7 they did something about it. Enter Kobe nemesis number one, Shaquille O&#39;neal, and an aging, and often injured star in Jermaine O&#39;neal. They may not seem like much now but in a playoff series, big Shaq smacking around your center for 6 fouls can do some damage. That with a resurgent Kevin Garnett and a returning Perkins, The Celtics front line is a monster teams like The Miami Heat aren&#39;t built to cope with. Paul Pierce is back to form, Ray Allen is raising eyebrows again and Rondo is reaching superstar status. This team is hell bent on revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nba.com/heat/index.html&quot;&gt;Miami Heat &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, we all know about the Decision. Now love it or hate it, Lebron will be in South Beach for years to come. That was his choice, now live with it. Now back to the basketball court. This team has been a work in progress that has looked quite impressive at times and quite horrible at others. They have beat up on bad teams and lost to good ones, so its hard to really put a finger on their potential. I think it may take another year or two before we see the dominant team we were expecting from the jump. Lebron and Wade simply play too much isolation plays at times. Chris Bosh is being shown to be overrated and would rather shoot a twenty foot jumper than bang in the post. Sheer athleticism has been enough so far. We will see in the playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMP6b-83R8DD18StAIJoR013AyvplYk-tNXczI2UWR5XJBZkIPN8gAkHwlLT4qd8ppCyor3eyo9tdBrZMNfFYX15K90loUtd7NylJNHsCLTOykWbpuZkGq2VwI7BUpWwj3VB1sD1angu4S/s1600/lakers-win-west-2008.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;179&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMP6b-83R8DD18StAIJoR013AyvplYk-tNXczI2UWR5XJBZkIPN8gAkHwlLT4qd8ppCyor3eyo9tdBrZMNfFYX15K90loUtd7NylJNHsCLTOykWbpuZkGq2VwI7BUpWwj3VB1sD1angu4S/s320/lakers-win-west-2008.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Lakers will do as they always do. Come through in the clutch. This is Kobe Bryants chance to put the last touches on a spectacular career. Dont be surprised if number 24 calls it quits ala Jordan style after this one. I like all these other teams and there are real pragmatic reasons on why they will be threats, but who cares? This is Laker Land over here man! Kobe will be at his best, Ron Artest will be locking down Lebron, Pierce or whoever. Bynum will be catching lobs and D fish will be hitting three&#39;s. Odom will be chasing down boards and Shannon Brown will get a few monster jams. In the end I will be cheering and going to another parade! So everyone, climb aboard. Not too late to get on the bandwagon. Its great to be a Laker fan!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plant known as a Chinese Fleece Flower has shocked the world this week when some unusual roots were discovered in the shape of a human couple. The roots even show what seem to be breast on the woman and genetailia on the man. How exactly this came to be seems to be an absolute mystery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The foot-long root of the Chinese Fleece flower was first discovered by a  man who goes by the name Fan. He spotted the unusual&amp;nbsp; roots while in a vegetable stall in a town in China’s eastern Shandong province. Fan  was so awe struck by the human-shaped roots he had to have them. He ended up paying 600 yuan, equivalent to over £40, to purchase it. vegetable stall in a small town in  eastern Shandong, China. He is now  displaying the miraculous naked veggie couple at his home in order to  attract curious tourists from thousands of miles away&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chinese Fleece flower is a popular dietary supplement in Asia, as it  is a firm belief that its boiled extract helps curb cholesterol and  fight heart disease. It is also sold as a dietary food to aid in  controlling obesity. One has to wonder what kind of benefits this plant can add to human kind. Perhaps this plant is in the shape of humans for a reason. I am very curious about this one. I will keep you posted!&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/feeds/7690514056112542365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2011/01/weird-plant-roots-shaped-as-human.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/7690514056112542365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/7690514056112542365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2011/01/weird-plant-roots-shaped-as-human.html' title='Weird plant roots shaped as human couple!'/><author><name>Nova-Knowself</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04244448011996708429</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuYzhT8SAgVLWO4L_13h3XJpUWzhOxKN1IhqbERLEn-JLqLckQLGy0XHNhnbHvzSxXSsWbwGpAbi_o_27Zhrl0Dhv4IHIhguBdcT0OM-pjogoAfY5zcTAy4IlZbb8FGQ/s220/nkg.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLPG3jv9Z8izsjxtjpuYKQ_6WRyu2cfO4YnaWXgQVr53GQ574SrFgHTLD8Ep-enuy5882EnCkKagWZOG6kcRGAZjwgAkyy279-yjG7egtDob_5j7LLw-TobTTPWh5Y8FFGcMwUKikIsIuZ/s72-c/71532569-humanshaped-roots.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048324776748608342.post-230899240921000610</id><published>2011-01-19T10:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-19T10:37:16.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Alabama Govenor shows the intolerance of religion</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6ShcEaNZJMpc_x2xPx_NYWH9xt9IgPTJ7V1a4wdFRCc_g5VVSiMqCyhWWyCzV1by6O1q1OahY689Mh18YAgGdutD8Od-8iNkmpPWsQop8t5laREm5LIs9b2RHtHWeNVWUlD75VjYsdKg/s1600/gov.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;227&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6ShcEaNZJMpc_x2xPx_NYWH9xt9IgPTJ7V1a4wdFRCc_g5VVSiMqCyhWWyCzV1by6O1q1OahY689Mh18YAgGdutD8Od-8iNkmpPWsQop8t5laREm5LIs9b2RHtHWeNVWUlD75VjYsdKg/s320/gov.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The new Alabama&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.robertbentley2010.com/index.php?page=biography&quot;&gt;Gov.

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Ashfaq Taufique, president of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bisweb.org/&quot;&gt;Birmingham Islamic Society&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;didn&#39;t&amp;nbsp;seem so sure about the new&amp;nbsp;Governors&amp;nbsp;motives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&quot;Does it mean that those who according to him are not saved are less important than those who are saved?&quot; Taufique said. &quot;Does he want those of us who do not belong to the Christian faith&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;to adopt his faith? That should be toned down. That&#39;s not what we need. If he means that, I hope he changes it. We don&#39;t want evangelical politicians. They can be whatever in their private life.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot;&gt;David Silverman, president of American Atheists, the country&#39;s oldest atheist civil rights group said about the matter,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot;&gt;&quot;We live in a country that is hugely diverse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot;&gt;The governor basically said: &#39;If you&#39;re not like me, you&#39;re second class.&#39; This is a man who puts the Bible above the Constitution and his preacher above the president. His words are disgusting and bigoted and reinforce Alabama&#39;s reputation for being backward.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In closing, I think it is time we analyzed whether religious&amp;nbsp;fanaticism&amp;nbsp;exhibited by our public officials should ever be tolerated by voters. Intolerance simply should not be tolerated. My reason for being systematically turned away from organized religion has been the inability of the participants to live up to the precepts stated in their respective creeds. Christians, Jews, and&amp;nbsp;Muslims&amp;nbsp;all claim some special connection to the creator or creative force to the exclusion of those outside of their line of thought. The presumption that I am right and you are wrong is written in the very nature of their scriptures and holy writings. With that being said, how will we ever have peace?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It seems like all sides are willing to accept perpetual conflict with other points of view no matter the cost. Religion remains one of the most obvious barriers to world unity. This is being shown to be evident by the behavior of those we vote into office. This is the real danger of religion. It&amp;nbsp;drastically&amp;nbsp;alters your world view in everything you do. For instance, to a Muslim a Christian is an infidel who must accept Islam or face the consequences. For a Christian accept Jesus as your savior or as in the words of the &quot;good&quot;&amp;nbsp;Governor, &quot;We are not brothers&quot; unless you do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; And&amp;nbsp;it goes on.... How does a Mormon really feel about Black people if Joseph Smith wrote in their holy book that Africans were cursed by god? How can Mormons like Glen Beck or Mitt&amp;nbsp;Romney&amp;nbsp;act as if their religion that they profess is from god does not impair views toward Black people in general, let alone their&amp;nbsp;views toward President Obama? How about the Hindu who perpetuate the caste system that has the Black&amp;nbsp;Dravidian&#39;s&amp;nbsp;labeled&amp;nbsp;untouchable? Gandhi, despite how he is often portrayed, was a peaceful man who hated Black people as much as any Klan member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So we cannot deny that religious views have an overwhelming impact on the way we see the world and each other. The perilous condition of the world we live in was created by our thought processes. We&amp;nbsp;created&amp;nbsp;the bed of nails we now sleep on! Jesus said it best perhaps when he said you can tell if a tree is good by its fruit. Well then what have these last few thousand years taught us? We can pretend that holding on to these ancient belief systems that divide us are mandates from God, but really who are we fooling except ourselves?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I have been going through a little personal business. The end result is I have sole custody of my two children. Thank god! My beautiful daughter Daeshana&#39;e will be turning twelve on January 1st. I always tell her the whole world is celebrating with you. I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. When she was born, way back in the &#39;99, (Yeah, wow!) she was one of two. Twins. Born almost 4 months premature, my son and daughter weighed less than one and a half pounds a piece at birth. Unfortunately, my son didn&#39;t make it. He passed on five days into his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My daughter however was a fighter. That combined with the miracle of modern day science, and round the clock treatment by a small army of doctors and nurses, she has survived to this day with little to no side affects. Recently I saw a show on preemies on television. A kid weighing 3 pounds at birth was being labeled a miracle baby. I laughed and thought to myself, that baby was like three of my daughter combined! My daughter Daesha really is my miracle, and I thank god everyday for her being here.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My son was born totally fit and healthy. Most people say he is my mini-me. He is amazing because he is just so advanced for his age. He is so active. He taught himself how to skate, skateboard and ride bikes. He climbs and jumps off things fearlessly. He will be seven this year. I sometimes worry because I see a little too much of my attitude and temper growing in him, but I guess like father like son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I guess my primary goal is to raise my kids to be leaders and not followers of trends and peers. I think I have been doing alright up until this point. I know as they grow I am sure to have some issues, so I am just cherishing this time I have with them. They still look at me with awe. I can see the complete innocence in their eyes. One day I will look back and wish for these days, so for now I will appreciate them every minute of everyday.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The new NBA basketball season is set to begin. The Miami Heat have dominated the headlines with the acquisitions of two of the biggest free agents on the market. Lebron James made his intentions known in a nationally televised fiasco entitled &quot;The Decision, in which he informed the world, including Cav&#39;s owner Dan Gilbert about his plans. Chris Bosh bolted from the Raptors while Dwayne Wade decided to return to the Heat, spurning his home town Chicago Bulls. It has to rank among the most unprecedented free agent acquisitions in history. Three max salary players signed by one team. When I first got the news, I wondered what would be left for role players?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Heat did a decent enough job of picking up a few serviceable players like Mike Miller and Zydrunas Ilgauskas but was it enough? I for one thought they missed a big opportunity to bring back Shaq for some size. The may regret letting him walk to Boston in a playoff series. Expectations, of course for this team are through the roof, and the Pat Riley buzz will begin early if coach Erik Spoelstra gets off to a rough start. The Miami Heat may have welcomed all the good and negative press by predicting they will win multiple championships before one game was played. They really looked kind of silly strutting their new look when introduced at Miami&#39;s arena to the applause of screaming fans. Fireworks and light shows, excited the crowd, as the trio danced and strutted,soaking up the accolades, Pat Riley smiling in the crowd approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The early talk was this is the greatest trio of young talent to come together ever.With a straight face many commentators including Jeff Van Gundy, predicting a run at The Chicago Bulls all time mark of 72-10. At the time I am writing this they are now 11-9. So I guess they would have to win 71 straight. The Miami Heat players are frustrated, and they recently conducted a players only meeting in which they discussed frustrations with the young couch. Some have begun privately campaigning for the man with the rings to lead the team. I am not trying to say they can&#39;t, or won&#39;t get it together. I am just saying championship teams are not born overnight. It takes chemistry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Speaking of chemistry, The Los Angeles Lakers are set to defend their title going for the second&amp;nbsp; &quot;Three-Peat&quot; in the Phil Jackson era. Kobe is going for his 6th ring this year. Yeah, that&#39;s right. The same amount Jordan won. With all the relentless comparisons to The Great One, this may be the year Kobe &quot;Bean&quot; Bryant begins to distance himself from His Airness himself. And I don&#39;t think The Black Mamba is going to quit to play baseball any time soon neither. Barring injury, he can stay at his current level for at least four more years before we see some sort of decline. When it is all said and done he has a chance to be listed among the top ten players of all time if not the greatest. He is climbing steadily up the career scoring list. Who knows where he may end up? Already he has the third most 40 point games of all time , right after Wilt and Jordan. We may never see this level of basketball wizardry again no matter how good Lebron gets. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For Lakers coach Phil Jackson the &quot;Three-Peat&quot; has become almost routine. If successful, this would make the forth time a team under his command has achieved the legitimate status of Dynasty. We are witnessing perhaps the last go round of the greatest basketball coach of all time. The Zen Master&#39;s back is becoming a problem and he cant take too much more. He will most likely hang em up after getting to the mountain top one last time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Then you have the big European Paul Gasol, who continues to amaze as one of the top big men in the game. After being bullied, dominated, and exposed as soft by the Celtics Kevin Garnett a few years ago in the NBA Finals, he has been on a rampage. He kind of reminds me of James Worthy, because he is quiet, and fine with just doing the dirty work, like defense, boards, and blocks, but when needed he is more than capable of&amp;nbsp; taking over and dominating games as need be. With an Alpha Dog like Kobe already on the team, Paul Gasol&#39;s temperament is perfect for team chemistry. Don&#39;t expect any Kobe, Shaq soap opera&#39;s here. Think Magic and Worthy. Paul Gasol also continues to be an excellent ambassador of the game abroad where he is hailed at near rock star status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Lakers have few flaws, even with Andrew Bynum out for an extended period once more. When he returns the team gets even deeper, as Paul Gasol gets to shift to his normal Power Forward position and take advantage of less physical players, while Lamar gets to go back to the bench to help bolster the 2nd unit. New additions like Steve Blake and Matt Barnes provide added depth off the bench. The resigning of the vastly improved Shannon Brown has already begun to show dividends. Top to bottom this may be the best Lakers team Phil Jackson has ever coached, and that&#39;s saying a lot. So Miami can get all the headlines. We&#39;ll take the parade and confetti! I guess sometime after Kobe and the rest of the Lakers are finished being doused with champagne, we may look back and realize this team is pretty special.&amp;nbsp; Well, till then, how about them Miami Heat!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

From speaking engagements, book tours, a new reality show, and daughter Bristol&#39;s recent appearance as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars; the mama grizzly has been eating quite well as of late. Surprisingly, as her popularity continues to rise, polls consistently show her with dismal favorable ratings, although recently, with her constant television appearances, it has started to rise. There can be no mistake, there are many who still see her as a legitimate presidential candidate despite her less than stellar grasp of the issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ever since the infamous Katie Couric interview, handlers have steered her clear of any serious interviews; instead opting for uncontested forums like Fox News, where she can safely cling to her talking points without opposition, after failing miserably when asked by Couric the question &quot;What do you like to read?&quot;. With all the bad press that ensued, her handlers wisely shut down all unscripted interviews from then on. To defend her critics who rightly question the wisdom of electing an unqualified politician, Palin has branded them the &quot;Lame stream media&quot;. Now with no one to question her intentions or motives, no one knows what she stands for. All I hear her saying is &quot;We want our country back!&quot; over and over again, but what does that really mean? She owes it to us to explain. She can say she wants smaller government, but then wouldn&#39;t she have to be able to explain what that means? What programs would she cut?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are many who see her as simply all style and no substance. I think this would be underestimating her. She is a very intelligent woman, beautiful and charismatic, we should all be able to agree, regardless to our feelings toward her rhetoric. This woman is using the star power she gained by&amp;nbsp; John Mccain&#39;s failed presidential bid to the fullest. She has become a celebrity! Wasn&#39;t that a bad thing when Obama became one? Anyway, times change I guess. Who could blame her? It is really cold in Alaska! It has been reported that Palin is now raking in 100,000$ dollars per speaking engagement. She brought in 7 million dollars for the book, while inking 250,000$ per episode of her new reality show. It has been estimated that she has earned over 12 million since leaving her office at the end of July 2009. Democrats, underestimate this woman at your own risk!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While rallying Tea Party crowds, with her near constant shots at President Obama and his policies, she is speaking to the choir. Her politics can be best described as high on rhetoric and low on fresh idea&#39;s in my personal opinion. Heck, she quit two years into her term as governor. How is that for serving the people&#39;s interest? In my book that makes her a quitter. I&#39;m thinking, if she cant handle one of the least populated states, how can she run all 50? We are talking about the same woman who can see Russia from her house. Is this really the woman we want handling our foreign policy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She can say she is not running for president in 2012 all she wants. It takes no genius to see where this is headed. She is in the campaign as we speak. You cant say she isn&#39;t confident though. This lady really thinks she can beat Obama. That is where the brilliance of this woman lies. You see I say she is very intelligent because she knows how to tap a very sensitive issue for White Americans much in the same way less charismatic leaders like Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck attempt to do. Many feel they are losing ground in this nation, with immigration gone wild, the war on terror, and on top of that a &quot;mysterious&quot; Black president? They want their country back the way it was after World War 2 when the &quot;minorities knew their place&quot;. For these people, those were the good ole days. For us, the minorities, we were ready to die for a change. It is very offensive to hear these era&#39;s spoken of with such reverence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I myself, as a Black man, can generally emphasize with this sentiment though. There is a underlying backlash brewing that wishes to send our nation back to a time when the White man was more secure of his place in the land. Sarah Palin is banking on the power this anger is stirring amongst older, middle aged, and&amp;nbsp; uneducated white people, targeting them much like President Obama targeted first time voters among African Americans. The changes that occurred in this country in the 60&#39;s, most I presume would say was for the better. Still if Democrats are not careful, this anger that the Tea Party is building may end up sweeping Sarah Palin right into the driver seat of the most powerful nation this world has ever known.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is a few rays of hope. Let&#39;s not give her the job just yet. I wonder if Sarah Palin will be ready for the backlash that comes with running for the highest office in the land. Running from interviews and dodging questions wont be an option. Neither will high pitched screams for patriotism continue to hold audiences captivated. She is going to have to give substantial answers to complex issues such as how she would handle climate change, the economy, entitlement programs, the war on terror, and balancing the budget to say a few. Yelling &quot;I love America!&quot; wont cut it. If she does happen to win the Republican nomination( Mitt Romney and the likes will not give in easily), she will be set to face one of the most gifted orators and politicians this country has ever produced. The debates promise to be priceless!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So what do you think? Does she run or not? Republicans are confused. Do they put their support behind The Palin Brand or one of the recycled former presidential losers who no doubt will be at it again? None of the more polished potential Republican candidates have anywhere near the star power and following or the buzz that an announcement would bring;&amp;nbsp; so it is really a choice of style or substance. Still think she&#39;s an imbecile? She has the whole right by the(you know what!) waiting to hear her decision. That there is power my friend. Meanwhile, I hear Democrats whispering, &quot;Run! Sarah Run!&quot; salivating at the prospect.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/feeds/6292873896681438912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2010/12/palin-brand-continues-to-grow-next-stop.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/6292873896681438912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6048324776748608342/posts/default/6292873896681438912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nova-knowself.blogspot.com/2010/12/palin-brand-continues-to-grow-next-stop.html' title='The Palin brand continues to grow.

It seems as if polarizing figures such as Sarah Palin seem to be popping up every week with increasingly outlandish rhetoric. More than ever our politicians have been making child hood playground fights seem reasonable in comparison. This disturbing trend towards partisanship now threatens to derail any plan to improve this country which is still in the process of trying to recover from the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression. I personally think if this continues to get worse and worse, the overall effectiveness of a two party system will have to be brought into question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Increasingly we seem to be dividing ourselves into two distinctly separate America&#39;s. On one side, those that look at Rush Limbaugh as a serious party leader, Glen Beck as a stout Constitutional historian, and the aforementioned Sarah Palin as ripe for the presidency on one side; those who would like to give President Obama a chance on the other. Both, the right and left are choosing to steadily distinguish the differences between themselves, increasing the gulf between them, while holding on stubbornly to the &quot;We are always right&quot; tone&quot;. Meanwhile the citizens that these politicians are supposed to represent, sit patiently on the sidelines waiting for something to happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It kills me when politicians speak so confidently about the wishes of the American people. Politicians only represent the interest of their party, not the people. If they did represent the people, and we lived in a true Democracy, we could utilize the internet to cast votes; majority rules.&amp;nbsp; Now I dont owe loyalty to either party although my political leanings tend to be on the Democrats side much of the time. In my opinion they are the best of two bad choices. I have a strong feeling amongst my generation, that before its said and done we will have more people identifying themselves as independent than ever before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I hate to say it, but as much as we like to preach the benefits of Democracy, it&#39;s really starting to feel like a controlled anarchy. As our economic strength in the world declines we put ourselves at further risk as The House and The Senate remains gridlocked. Republicans have come right out and said that they are committed to seeing to it that Barack Obama&#39;s presidency is a failure. When I hear formerly respected news columnist, commentators, politicians, and would be presidential candidates casually calling the leader of the free world, our president, everything from a Socialist, to a Nazi. Limbaugh went as far as calling Obama a flat out idiot. To many people, this is not only disrespectful to President Obama, but to the entire country as a whole, not to mention the hits taken to our image abroad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; These are just a few examples of how party affiliation continues to shape the views and attitudes of millions of Americans. I no longer look at politics as entertainment. Every time I watch, it makes me wonder what happened to this great country. Maybe we should rename it The United States of Republicans &amp;amp; Democrats!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As the world spirals toward a bleak and uncertain future, it is increasingly becoming more and more imperative for those who make up the human family to seriously analyze the world we live in and the religious traditions we agree to live under in our respective lands. We must decide for ourselves whether or not they are beneficial to world unity or dangerous to mankind. It is time for some soul searching. Our inability to come to grips with the true nature of religion no doubt puts society as we know it in a precarious situation. Now is the time when we must learn to set all prejudices aside, and begin the process of examining the barriers that continue to prevent us from living up to our true potential if we are to ever attain the lasting peace we all long for.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This will not be easy for many when considering that some traditions have been firmly in place for several thousand years. On top of that most indoctrinated into organized religions have had it continuously ingrained into their heads since small children by their spiritual leaders that to merely question their faith is a sin. The aim is to discourage inquiry. Sometimes questioning accepted doctrines can result in the complete banishment of the inquisitor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is quite astonishing to think that even in our modern society were science is advancing at break neck speed, shattering many centuries old superstitions in the process, religion somehow manages to maintain its vice like grip on the minds of many. Daily news reports continue to show that as the world becomes increasingly interconnected, divisions between races and global conflicts between nations are on the rise instead of on the mend as one might expect. Watch a little television and you will discover there is no shortage of &lt;i&gt;“Doom and Gloom” &lt;/i&gt;Pastors and so called Prophets happily predicting and in some cases eagerly awaiting mankind&#39;s demise in the near future. Is it possible these poisonous thought processes have the potential to equate to a self fulfilling prophecy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is it not disturbing that we find so many people are extremely pessimistic about the future? Could it be that the &lt;i&gt;“us versus them” &lt;/i&gt;dynamic spelled out among organized religion has dulled the hopes of mankind?&amp;nbsp; Many wonder if civilization can survive without the moral principals of the religious system. But is man really dependent on an agreed upon set of rules spelled out by religious traditions in order to behave ourselves and protect ourselves from each other? Or can it be said that what we define as morality is an innate quality already built into the gene of the human species?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are those who see religion as a gift from God. One cannot deny that religious institutions have done some good, but how much longer can we ignore the evils it has done in Gods name? People point to religion as a force for good by an overwhelming margin all over the world. But with the growing severity of the clashes between religion I wonder if i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;ts time we asked ourselves if&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; the positive aspects of organized religion out weigh the negative?
