Society's Strongest and Weakest Links

As a Zaadz Ambassador, I'm supposed to celebrate Earth Day. If nothing else, I'm good at bursting balloons. Sorry to disappoint you, folks, but our survival is threatened by more than greenhouse gas. However, since Al Gore doesn't listen to the likes of me, will someone please tell this award-winning environmentalist for me that it is first things first.

Like a chain, society is only as good as its weakest link. Society's strongest link is the personally responsible, self-reliant, resourceful, innovative God-self, its weakest link the duty-bound, power-based authority that steals the individual's energy and pollutes the environment with his hot air, the very reason for the saying, “the least government is the best government.”

The least government comes from a government of laws, not of men, for the best of men in authority, reasoned philosopher Aristotle, are liable to be corrupted by passion. The answer, said Aristotle: “To invest the law then with authority is, it seems, to invest God and reason only.” Where else, I ask you, but from our most sacred God-self?

The story is long and convoluted. The current great concern over the environment diverts attention from the undeniable pattern of authoritarian corruption, going back to the beginning of civilization in the Middle East. It is one long story of one authority after another, one war after another, one civilization after another. And here we are back at square one in the Middle East, folks. Clearly, the reason is the lust for power and control. So why are you looking to authority for the answers?

From Time-Life's The Divine Campaigns, we read about authority's noble heritage:

“On an April day in the year 1127, a glittering company (not in Hollywood but near Bruges) assembled on the broad open ground called the Sands, just west of the town of Bruges near the North Sea coast. From (Gore's ancestors') manor houses on the surrounding plain, from fortresses towering over the gray estuaries, from the rich abbeys of Saint Bertin and Saint Omer, nobles and churchmen had gathered (they didn't have private jets back then) to do homage to William, the new count of Flanders.”

“A notary named Galbert of Bruges stood by to record the words and deeds of this solemn ceremony. One after another, in a sequence prescribed by rank and dignity, the men laid aside their swords, uncovered their heads, and knelt before the count, who asked each one the same question: 'Do you wish, without reservation, to become my man?'”

“The count enclosed the hands of the petitioner between his own and sealed the compact with a kiss on the lips. Then he motioned for an attendant to bring forward a jeweled casket holding the relics of the saints-fragments of bone, nail parings, ringlets of hair-sacred objects on which each nobleman swore his oath: ‘I promise by my faith that from this time forward I will be faithful to Count William and will maintain toward him by homage entirely against every man, in good faith and without any deception.'”

Count William was empowered because Charles, the Good had been murdered by his enemies while attending mass. In a matter of months, William, too, would be dead: done in by Flemish rebels.

In those dismal days of feudal Europe, the lord of the land held absolute power. He could flog hapless peasants into obedience, hang them when they committed crimes or disobeyed him and his rules. The lord and master could withhold their right to marry. Those who had strength and fighting skills, and the financial wherewithal to arm themselves, were treated with more respect. They became the warriors and vassals of the lord.

This is the way it was when people listened to and didn't question authority.  Why is it not that way in America today? I hear people calling Al Gore a great man. Why couldn't Al Gore, for instance, be our lord, and hold absolute power?  Because we have freedom of speach, and people like me who would not give Al Gore the time of day.

Notwithstanding environmental concerns, let's take a hard look at Aristotle's thought: to invest authority with God and reason, namely, one's God-self. The individual, given authority, can perform miracles. My proof is the original America, the self-reliant, resourceful, innovative people who made America. Today's divided America is a far cry from my America. This America is flabby and weak willed. There is much to say for giving the individual authority, and I'm sorry to say, nothing to say for the powerful. Should we all ride bicycles and quit mowing with gasoline powered lawnmowers? If we must, lets go back to individual authority and move forward. The environmentalists would have us move backward. 

I've been told many times that I'm badly misinformed. I don't think so. The American people are on an environmental snipe hunt. None of the rules apply to the hierarchy. Clearly, we are controlled by greed and the lust for power. So quit worrying about the environment for a moment, please, and bear with me while I briefly restate American history since World War I.

After World War I, America's economy boomed. As a matter of fact, after World War II, America's economy boomed. World War II ended America's Great Depression. It put everyone to work. In any event, America's “roaring twenties” ended in the “stock market crash of 1929.” Everyone thinks the crash caused the Great Depression. Think again. You are wrong, dead wrong!

Similar to the huge stock market adjustment of 1929, the huge stock market adjustment of 2000 barely caused a ripple in America's economy. It is now roaring again. The FED's policy after World War I was much the same as current policy. After World War I, Benjamin Strong ran the FED's policy. A year before the 1929 stock market crash, Strong died. His death resulted in a power struggle and a reverse of policy. Also, the nation was full of Jew haters and Nazi sympathizers. The famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh, was a Nazi sympathizer. Because my sister's mother was Jewish, she was denied membership in a college sorority. Coincidentally, the Bank of the United States had thousands of borrowers, most of them Jewish merchants, and its closing would certainly mean bankruptcy for many of those merchants.

The new, power hungry Federal Reserve bankers were Jew haters. Also, British economist John Maynard Keynes shifted the opinions of these power hungry bankers to the extreme opposite of what it had been. History has taught us that the depression was not caused by the failure of private enterprise but by the nonsensical theories of the powerful in managing money. The FED continued with their tight money policy until there were numerous bank runs. The Bank of the United States, included.

So, my friends, you can talk all you want about President Bush's failures in Iraq, and the same for the FED after Strong died, it is anybody's guess why, but the FED caused the Great Depression. The FED caused worldwide depression. The FED caused the rise of Hitler, the Jew hater. Of one thing we can be sure, after Strong's untimely death, the FED was controlled by corrupt, power hungry men totally wrapped up in self-glorification, totally blind to all the suffering they caused. Indeed, they built a colossal monument to themselves in Washington, D.C., and we are awestricken!

Lest you forget, the authorities were blind to the fact that the code breakers knew in advance that the Japanese were planning an attack on Pearl Harbor. And don't forget that the authorities were blind to the fact that the Japanese were flying for Pearl Harbor. They had radar reports that told them. Why would they believe it was a flock of birds? Like I say, it is anybody's guess why the authorities do the things they do, but these are historical facts I'm bringing to your attention.

Given the facts, how do you know Al Gore's great concern for the environment is valid? Oh, how he rants and raves, especially over George Bush! No question! Gore was cheated out of his rightful place as President. We should put the man in office by acclimation! On the other hand, you can't depend on a warming trend, simply to make the point, limited to a time period. We had a mini-ice age in northern Europe in relatively recent times. The planet has been heating and cooling, the ocean rising and falling, since long before industrialization.

It is historical fact that I was there during the Great Depression; there when a third of America's workforce was jobless; there when droves of homeless people wandered around the nation, thanks to America's Jew haters and glory seekers in Washington. I see it all now. The poor wreches came to our door offering to work for something to eat. It was a terrible thing. My family gathered around our radio to listen to President Franklin D. Roosevelt offer his solutions. He called these his “Fireside Chats.” He gave us the “New Deal,” a mounting debt, massive dependence on government, and last but not least, the most powerful government on the planet, therefore, the most corrupt. Yes, there it all is, recorded history. In 1933, in those terrible days of the Great Depression, said Roosevelt: “While it isn't written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation.”  There you have the man's words!  It's a repeat of history, President Roosevelt's “New Deal Law.”  Witness the results.

It is historical fact that I was a combat infantrymen in World War II, on the high seas heading for the invasion of Japan's main island when the atom bomb ended the war. I've lived through a lot of American history, the history of being led by the nose. What have we got? A weak willed America. We are the proverbial house divided that will soon fall.

My advice from James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy:

“As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent.”

My good Zaadz friends, don't listen to Al Gore. Once we know whether we are afoot or horseback, the environment will take care of itself. We should look within for guidance. We have our work cut out for us. Look at history and know it isn't any of the things the authorities want.
