"Swimming with Chains and other Weighty Matters"

"Gentlemen, you see that in the anarchy in which we live, society manages much as before. Take care, if our disputes last too long, that the people do not come to think that they can very easily do without us." – Benjamin Franklin, to the Constitutional Convention of 1787

Since this IS "The Coalition of the Obvious", it is perhaps timely and incumbent upon us all to consider the "state" of things around us. i.e. -- ponder the Obvious! And, the not-so-obvious...

To get your gears moving, I'd like to direct you to read this bloggers attempt at grokking the implications of the government "shutdown", and in fact, what role governments play in "serving the people":

http://bastionofliberty.blogspot.com/2013/10/shutting-them-down.html

This is a wide ranging subject, but as you go through your day you might think about the usefulness of the monstrosity of the millstone hanging on every American's neck. It is Obvious that this Thing has grown into a monster. It is a parasite that now drains most of the population's positive energy, wealth, and spirit. What parts of it could just go away, and humanity would be better off? This is an important question to ask yourself. Do an A/B comparison and write down what is good about it, and what is bad about it. Your list will probably be very lop-sided.

What is IT good for?

What justifies ITS existence in IT"S present form, or some other efficient model?

Can you pare this Thing down to a bare bones version where it actually benefited humanity?

Is it not self evident that if anything required complete transparency to the people it is supposed to serve, it would be this Thing?

And isn't it Obvious that a population would require and demand that ALL representatives, employees, public servants if-you-will -- MUST BE honest, truthful, upstanding, morally responsible individuals?

What have We got?

Here's one bloggers opinion. I expect there are many others who hold similar views...http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=288620

Shouldn't they be held to the "highest" standards?

And if any surveillance was truly needed to protect, serve, and secure The People, said surveillance should be focused on the machinery and those operating the machinery of governance. No?

May we continually reflect upon how our world works and doesn't work "for us". It is not our individual goals to become drones, and live worthless lives. "America" used to be the habitation of "dreamers" and freedom lovers. Look closely at what IT has become?

Any positive changes you can imagine first must start in your head and be held in your heart.

  1. It's double indemnity for the COMMITTEE. It can now be reported that Russia is working with the Obamanites while Obama himself is fighting the Bush Gang. This government shutdown is the Embassy of Freedom. It's the Benghazi castle move. Barry got his ass spanked bad and has his issue with the Clinton group. Syria failed and his ass got spanked. Now his CARE program and other committee objective come into play.

    I had predicted the Minneapolis Mall of America as a target and I don't assume today's DC shenanigans weren't a deflection and warning regarding the Benghazigate hearings and ultimate assault on the state department. Warmongers are enraged and will play the shutdown for sometime. Meanwhile Team Obama will play the homeland game and look to create the worse case scenarios for specific closures. Hillary's scapegoating and Holders interference scheme is why Americans will suffer.

    There will never be another budget. It's going to be a clean CR and QE infinity until the planes start flying out of the country by the capos of the committee. The difference in C.O.G. and the Debt Ceiling DC is anything but Executive Judicial and Legislative. Now that the Welfare state created by Reagan to date has produced the population necessary under it's column, it is ready to implement the final stages. The deals to US Committee Corporations may be the same Obama will concede to Russia and China on the AFRICOM conquest and theft.

    DC Should be an event location as I indicated as well as Texas and Minnesota. Welcome to the tip off of the American Spring. Today's little car chase show that we can have twenty officials on a 34 year old Delta trigger, yet the Benghazi consulate had three. yippee-ki-yay......

  3. Thanks for the comments, Puddy.

    As an aside, and for the laughs, this is a good template for how the bought & paid for MSM protects the criminal elite and their organizations.

    First, read the brief intro at http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-10-02/matt-taibbi-cnbc-presstitutes

  6. And so it begins in Minnesota.........Minnesota Fats

    MINNESOTA OBAMACARE EXCHANGE LEAKS PRIVATE INFORMATION OF 2,400 PEOPLE-BEN SWANN http://benswann.com/minnesota-obamacare-exchange-leaks-private-information-of-2400-people/

    Less than 24 hours after the Obamacare exchanges opened on October 1 – and indeed before the exchange database even went live – the first reported breach of privacy occurred. An employee of MNsure, Minnesota’s Obamacare exchange, accidentally sent an unencrypted email to the wrong person. The email contained the private information of over two thousand people, and went to a local insurance broker.

    Obamacare.= getting your info and making the Ins. Co's and Government Fatter

  8. I'm following it. We'll have to see if "blows" up into more than a tropical storm. Maybe M can check the sky for chemtrails?

  9. I love that Ben Franklin quote. Several years ago, I read a chilling account that the man was a psychopath of the serial killer bent.

    It looks from over here that the US government has not shut down one tiny little bit--only redirecting its efforts to making the people as miserable as possible and also provoking foreign pressure by shutting down and barricading much of what tourists pay for when they visit.

    Along with Boston, it looks to me like another practice session for martial law. Get your passport and bug-out bag ready. The government also shut down in the 1990s--which I don't even recall, having not been there. It wasn't the end of the world then, just a hassle; the difference this time is so much is teetering on the brink of collapse. Just look at what Obamacare is doing. I'd be surprised if the results of this shut down aren't major.

  10. Yes, Patricia, I believe Mr. Franklin was an "insider", and his Legend has been painted red, white, and blue, to hide his true colors. What "he was" is most probably akin to the ilk we see today.

    Some interesting quotes are attributed to him, however, they're just words on a page or screen. If they stand up on their own, and are worth something positive to humanity, then they are worth repeating for that sake.

  11. Oh, I think it is precisely the psychopaths running the show who have the most to say of value to the rest of us. The key is to find a way to get them to squeal or just brag, as Mr. Franklin was apparently doing. This is why Lobaczewski (Political Ponerology) said Nuremburg was a big mistake. We vented our rage and killed off a bunch of bastards who would have been able to tell us who was really running things and how.

  12. Typhoon No. 24 this year (they don't tell us what their names are here) is aiming for a nice punch straight to the soft underbelly of Japan. We will be right in its path attempting to participate in a solemn outdoor ritual. So the prognostications go, anyway.

  13. Good point, Patricia
