Chicago, good ideas, all. Unfortunately, none of these will be implemented.

I suppose, at some level, CONUS makes the appearance of attempting to do the right thing. Who am I kidding? No they don’t! The Great Financial Crisis was the result of the secondary mortgage market underwriting loans that should never have been made, distorting the housing market, and enriching originators and Wall Street.

Nothing has been fixed except wealth disparity continues to increase.

Admin makes the same point by stating the price of oil doesn’t impact the .1%, the global elite, nor the 1% who are beholden to them, except it makes their job of squeezing every last vestige of wealth out of our society and transferring it to themselves harder.

My point to you, Stucky, is there’s another force at work, and it’s not God, it’s Satan. Unless and until you recognize the source of the problem, then any attempts rectify it will be ineffective.

Our economic, social, and political systems could work for the benefit of all, but they don’t. Greed has all but guaranteed it’s collapse. It’s what comes after that should be of concern. This system is broken, and will eventually fail given it’s current trajectory. 20 years for the demographics to cause it to fail, a lot less time given the various catalysts at work. We may or may not be past the point of no return, probably not given that any number of black, white, or grey swans are in abeyance until such time that they are needed. A war in the ME would certainly act as a distraction should global finances reach another precipice. In the meantime, the transfer of wealth to the .1% will continue unabated until diminishing returns force a pause.

The other side of this argument, the economic system which the .1% envision doesn’t support a world population anywhere near where we are now.

Where does all of this leave us? If you don’t know or recognize who is the enemy, it’s impossible to defend against or form a counter-offensive.

The global elite aren’t concerned about the price of gas, until they are, then something will be done and not until then. All of the posts, comments, likes and dislikes on this site, notwithstanding.

And just for the record, when Jesus Christ was confronted by the Devil in the wilderness, he didn’t reply with sarcasm or wit, he replied, “It is written”

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7 ESV).

That isn’t bible thumping, it’s a simple statement of the only thing that will be effective in the global fight against tyranny in which we find ourselves. It’s not only enough to believe, but also to act. Taking believing action, and standing fast on the principles and precepts that are in God’s Word are the only counter measure to the wickedness and perverseness that is in the world.

This country was founded on Christian principles, it has taken not quite 275 years to set it on a course of destruction, less than 150 years since the American Civil War.

Lincoln was a lobbyist for the rail road monopolists, who became the industrialists of the turn of the 20th century. CONUS and POTUS buy votes with socialist programs, and SCOTUS seems determined to play along.

I honestly don’t know what else to do except to have faith in God and his power. If anyone has any better suggestions, let’s hear it.
