Fellow DU'ers, about four months ago, I began having dreams that repeated themselves. In the dream, I was shown into a room, where "elders" were working on a problem.
I had not had dreams about these elders since perhaps 2004, around the time I was dealing with the situation of my father's passing, at the age of ninety in 2002. (A lifetime long Republican, his last political act was voting for Al Gore in 2000. When asked "Why?" he said simply, "Gore is brilliant; Bush a dunder head," and I could only blink in amazement that finally "he got it."
Now after having the new "elders" dream the third time, I asked in the dream what immense problem they were involved with. There is a coming World War, a terrible war few will survive, I was told. They are working to see that it stops before it begins, because once elements are in place, it will be much harder to stop. .

Tyler Durden wrote this article. Pls Note: Except where (on edit ) is expressed, the words are his, not mine.
Every major international crisis for the past century or more has ended with an even greater consolidation of world power into the hands of the few, and this is no accident.
When I discuss the concept of the false left/right paradigm with people, (snip) I often see a light turn on, a moment of awareness in their faces.
Many of us understand the con game because we live it day to day. We see far past the superficial rhetoric of Republican and Democratic party leadership and take note of their numerous similarities, including foreign policy, domestic defense policy and economic policy. The voting records of the major players in both parties are almost identical. One is hard-pressed to find much difference in ideology between Bush and Barack Obama, for example; or Obama and John McCain; or Obama and Mitt Romney, for that matter. (On edit - the main differences would be only in terms of social matters, that is: abortion, women's reproductive rights, LBGT marriage, etc)
When I suggest, however, that similar false paradigms are used between two apparently opposed nations, the light fades, and people are left dumbstruck. Despite the fact that globalist financiers shoveled capital into the U.S., British, German and Soviet military complexes all at the same time during World War II, many Americans do not want to believe that such a thing could be happening today.

(6,452 posts)He does not say this outright, but his model implies that everything would be fine if we could just have gently regulated capitalism forever, without the meddling rich elite ginning up conflicts to get richer. I wonder where he thinks that elite came from, and why he thinks they need to continually seek more power and wealth?
