I came across this quote today, don't know who said it but it fits perfectly in our present political mess in our self absorbed political leaders.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."

That was interesting popee but like I said before the actual value of all the currencies of the world is.......0, goose egg, nothing, nada. The value of nothing is nothing thus, there is in actuality no debt. There is no-thing but "belief" that backs all the currencies of the world. Think a minute, a dollar was once a tree, a coin was once a base substance in the earth, man claims ownership of that which he created not, turns it into a "thing", then declares that this "thing" is worth this much and then goes and buys more of that which he created not, kills it or strips the earth of it to go and make more things to continue in this lunacy!
If you use a commodity (gold, silver etc.) to back a currency then that commodity is controlled by those with the most "interest" in it to regulate the value of the currency, thus same situation different currency. The system of "money" needs to be changed, a complete revolution not a reformation but a complete destruction and rebuilding. It will happen the only question is when. Also, who created the gold in the earth that they could claim ownership of it and sell it to others?
Like all addicts, it must hit bottom before it can ever get better, the longer it takes to come to the awareness of the addiction, admit it, accept it and then find the will to do something about it is solely dependent on the addicted and seeing that there are about 7 billion addicts, give or take a few, well you get what I'm saying.
When the ignorant vote for the ignorant, then the result can only be the continuation of ignorance. A vote for the lesser of 2 evils is still a vote for evil is it not?
I ask, what man created all the land in that he could claim ownership of it and sell it to others? I ask, what man was given all the freedom that he could give it to or take it from others? I ask, what man was given all the authority in that he could write laws and govern over others? I ask, who bought the land, who needs their freedom from someone else and who voted to be controlled? The mirror never lies!
Just think, if you lived off the land, had a small shack, enjoyed fishing, hunting, trapping, growing your own food and the great and bountiful out doors, then what would you have to fear? Does this not sound like what we do for a vacation? Ironic how ignorant man is!

"Money" was a pretty good invention. It is much more practical than the barter system.
The only problem .. ever .. is selfishness.

I don't see any problem anywhere.
7 billion addicts, yes; nearly as many of the ignorant, yes; it's all part of the divine plan...
I'm OK with it! I'm OK with those who support the status quo! I'm OK with those who seek to change it!
I simply enjoy the spectacle, of the conflict, of God's drama!
I have no inclination to support either side - I'm more concerned with minding my own business, enjoying the fruits which are to hand.
May the devil take the hindmost!

who or what is the devil but the opposite polarity of the same original energy.
All of life's dualities are simply the extreme polarities of the same "thing" to experience emotions and feelings. Hence, all suffering originates when one is in a state of unawareness (ignorance) of the movements of its mind and its emotions are as a ship in a violent sea, thrown from one extreme to its opposite by the very thoughts it is attached to as it believes its thoughts are its being or truth and stays identified with them.
Thinking is an ability, thoughts are a tool, "you" are the will (power) behind the intention of both the ability and the focal point of what, when, why, where and how thoughts are used or not used as you hold the power to simply let them go also. Remember; everything has its opposite, look within and know this truth.
It is liken to a hammer, the hammer strikes or strikes not a nail. What nail if any, When it strikes, Where it strikes, Why it strikes and How it strikes it is not intended by the hammer, but by the power behind it. You are this power, with the ability to strike hatred, vengeance, fear or violence, or love, forgiveness, courage and peace or simply reside unmoved in a state of equanimity, the point being its all within you. One would do well to carry these five enlightening masters (what, when, why, where and how) within them as they always lead one to truth of knowing or knowing you don't know which is of course, knowing. When one resides at the center, by allowing its thoughts to gently come and go while simply observing them, affected not it is from the pendulums swing from one polar opposite to the next. This is one principle to learn on the path to self mastery.
How one reaches center: acceptance of all of life as it is, non-attachment to its or others thoughts of how life should be, or should have been, thus leaving the polarities of past and future and residing in the present moment or now within the innate state of pure conscious awareness.
Residing here, ones natural innate state of wisdom and common sense shine forth and all the locked doors of the infinite creative mind are flung open, as one is no longer locked behind the prison door of its unconscious thoughts, conditioned beliefs, paralyzingly fear, or non acceptance of who they know they've always been but have kept hidden within the prison. One is truly free.
All of life's circumstances are neutral, how you choose to feel as you experience them is solely up to you. Sometimes I enjoy getting deeply entrenched in the joyful sorrows of life, sometimes I enjoy sitting on the sidelines seemingly oblivious and unmoved by events that make the ordinary mind flit about like a fool. Either way, the enjoyment of the game, the drama, the play is the point, simply enjoy the journey.
Don't take life too seriously, for it is seriously short!

like an over inflated balloon, that which continues to over expand shall eventually burst, the U.S. government, the illusion of debt and the inflated ego's of those in power are not immune to the laws of creation.
That which is out of control shall eventually destroy itself and take all that are attached to it right with it.

that's why central banks are scared shitless about runaway deflation like a ball rolling downhill, once it gains enough momentum, it can not be stopped (see 1929-1941) or (201? - 202?) lol enjoy the show

what's it matter anyway? trying to explain the fiat currency system and the illusion of debt to the masses is like trying to explain to them there is no "me" telling "them" anything because there is only US which is no thing but ALL and Everything, it won't dawn until all they've believed "their" whole life crumbles down before "them" and ONE is brought to look inside them-self for Truth.

everything I KNOW that works really really good to alleviate pain is illegal. ha ha
I try to steer towards the holistic/natural side when it comes to health, not that I am a role model for it but I only drink organic wine and beer, organic water, I only breathe organic air, and eat organic meat grown in organic soil with the organic sun shining its light during the day and organic moon light shining in the organic darkness. a little organic humor will usually take your mind off your pain. he he Is it not beyond ignorant that we pay more money for fruits and vegetables to be grown and taken care of naturally or the way they are supposed to be? or that we pay more money for organic or naturally raised meat? Something wrong with this picture?
seriously, water, light exercise and fresh air, long deep breathing and holding the breath while placing your attention on the inflamed (dry and painful) areas will send blood to the area while holding the breath for a few seconds will super oxygenate the cells thus giving them the BREATH OF LIFE they need to rejuvenate themselves. Don't forget to exhale slowly and completely also. pure water, not beer, coffee, wine, or pop/soda, pure LIVING WATER
eat mostly if not all greens, some beans, little fruit and no meat, no alcohol and get some PH testing strips, test your ph many times throughout the day and continue to eat, drink and breathe this way until your PH is 7.0-7.45. water has a PH of 7, the body is over 75% water, hence anything less than 7 is a sign of too much acid, not enough alkaline, your immune system functions optimally when in an alkaline state, oh and get plenty of sleep, the body heals itself the most between the hours of 9:00pm and 2:00pm. you can go and research everything said here and make your own conclusions to their validity, but simply the body is made of water, oxygen, vitamins, minerals, proteins, so basically a returning to a natural life will support that which comes form it.
if you can't do any of this then resort to humor, good friends and plenty of well, whatever makes you feel good. and stay away from those spiritual views sites, those people in there are a little weird.
NOTE: I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND DO NOT SUPPORT ANYONE DOING ANY OF THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING THEIR DOCTOR. IF HE/SHE IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO SELL YOU CHEMICALLY CREATED DRUGS, WELL GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ONE WHO PRACTICES NATURAL/HOLISTIC HEALING, ACUPUNCTURE, REIKI ENERGY WORK/HEALING, HERBS/NUTRITION AND MEDITATION, MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES.

excellent advice ... all things I know, but have ignored, and now the piper must get paid
the body want sugar, or coffee, or whatever ... and I'm weak, or lazy, and do not have the fortitude to resist the cravings of the body
I've gotten fat, need a knee replacement, have sleep apnea ... jeez .. the time is fast approaching to either reverse course, or ...

my uncle had both knees and shoulders replaced, now those are working fine but he has cancer-go figure.
even Raman Maharshi died of cancer and he was about as natural as it gets so I think living life to the fullest in moderation is the key, the breathing exercises make my body feel fabulous though I will say that there is something to taking in much oxygen. and plenty of fresh water.
