Dear <$firstname$>,
Isn't it amazing that the simplest stories often provide the greatest lessons in
life? Sadly the simplicity often belies the value of the message.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs and the time came for them to
leave home and seek their fortunes.
Before they left, their mother told them "Whatever you do, do it the best
that you can because that's the way to get along in the world.
The first little pig built his house out of straw because it was the easiest
thing to do.
The second little pig built his house out of sticks. This was a little stronger than a straw house.
The third little pig built his house out of bricks.
One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies, came
along and saw the first little pig in his house of straw. He said "Let me in,
Let me in, little pig or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", said the little pig.
But of course the wolf did blow the house down and ate the first little pig.
The same happened with the second little piggy - only the piggy who'd built his
house with bricks survived and ended up destroying the big, bad wolf.
The Lesson?
Living in accordance with the pleasure principle, the younger pigs seek
immediate gratification, without a thought for the future and the dangers of
reality, although the middle pig shows some maturity in trying to build a
somewhat more substantial house than the youngest.
Only the third and oldest pig has learned to behave in accordance with the
reality principle: he is able to postpone his desire to play, and instead acts
in line with his ability to foresee what may happen in the future. He is even
able to predict correctly the behavior of the wolf - the enemy, or stranger
within, which tries to seduce and trap us. The third pig is therefore able
to defeat powers both stronger and more ferocious than he is.
The wild and destructive wolf represents all asocial, devouring
powers against which one must learn to protect oneself, and which one can defeat
through the strength of one's convictions and preparations. (From
The Meaning and Importance of
Fairy Tales).
What Has Katrina Taught Us?
<$firstname$>, I must warn you that what you're about to read is not the
usual emotive op ed blubbering on about the human tragedy Katrina has become.
There's enough of that already available on CNN, and repeating it doesn't help
you. My concern is purely what you and I, possibly unaffected by Katrina,
can learn from global events such as this.
- Governments Lie. Almost without exception, those
responsible for planning for a crisis like Katrina have claimed that the
consequences could not be predicted. In May 2002 FEMA hosted a
2-day
National Flood Conference in New Orleans, where the
consequences of just such a flood were discussed in detail. In
October 2004,
National Geographic published an article describing
the effect of a Category 4 storm on New Orleans precisely. In January
2005, Craig E. Colten published An Unnatural Metropolis, in
which he quotes a New Orleans resolution sent to the US Congress circa 1819
saying “it is an established fact that the Port of
New Orleans would not exist, that the whole city would soon be submerged if
the waters of the Mississippi were not confined by levees.” The
consequences of Katrina couldn't have been known beforehand? Hogwash.
- Governments' Interests Nullify Their Citizen's Interests.
Do not waste valuable time and energy blaming Bush for the disaster; he is
only hired help for the war-makers. The uninformed are proclaiming their
concerns vociferously at the apparent lack of response to Katrina. The
unspoken question is, "If the government can't handle a predicted natural
disaster what would happen after an unexpected terror attack?" This is
precisely the question that war-makers WANT asked, since the obvious answer is
more government intervention. Keep this in mind: the government's
interest in Katrina is
not to save lives - it is to gain experience and
learn lessons for the next inevitable 'terror attack'. New Orleans is
simply a rehearsal for an event which will dwarf Katrina in the loss of human
lives. Sound far-fetched? Why all the
evidence that Katrina was engineered by man?
- Modern Day Wealth is a Figment of Imagination.
Unfortunately those who most need to understand this concept will never read
this newsletter, but I must restate the obvious. The value of your real
estate is only determined by the willingness of a buyer to purchase your
property. Ask any home owner in New Orleans. The value of their
investment has disappeared overnight, and will never be reclaimed. While
Katrina may not have affected you directly, the next calamitous event will
likely strip billions of dollars as the economy collapses under it's already
overweight mass of personal and government
debt. Noah started building his ark many years
before the rains came. When will you cash in your investment and sell
your home? Remember, it was only the third little piggy who was able to
predict correctly the behavior of the wolf - the enemy, which tries to seduce
and trap us.
To wrap up the discussion of Katrina, there are dozens of
examples
of flood prevention programs being cancelled years ago, the purposeful
prevention of aid and the planned government inaction. Only the stubborn
will not accept that Katrina is purely a
dry run for the next staged attack, and the planned New World Order takeover
in America. Bush himself, on September 15, called for a review of
"emergency plans in every major city in America." We know what that means
- Martial Law is coming with the next event, either man-made or natural.
The intensity of the damage done by each incident will gradually be increased,
so as not to raise the ire of too many people at once.
If the
2001 FEMA
Report, which described the three most likely disasters in U.S. is a
harbinger of coming attractions, an earthquake in California is next.
The Future of the Internet
As mentioned in the previous newsletter, in recent weeks I've been asked many questions about the future of the
Internet and whether sites like ThreeWorldWars will be allowed to continue
operating.
Sadly, sites like ThreeWorldWars are drowned out by the thousands of other
sites influenced by government thinking, either knowingly or not. As a
result, we pose little threat to the powers that be, which is why I believe the
future shape of the Internet will not be significantly different to what it is
now. What is threatened is each individual's ability to filter fact from
fiction.
We live in a society where information abounds: Radio and television, the
Internet, satellite communications, and all manner of 'religions'. However, the
Information Age does not equal the Truth Age. Increasing
information does not necessarily mean increasing truth.
Today's society is not led by a zeal for truth but rather by powerful
economic and socio-political forces bent on maintaining the status quo.
Those in power want to remain there and those economically powerful want to
remain so.
The sheer inertia of a belief system can hold it in place for centuries, even
if it is wrong. History is, in fact, simply a junkyard of discarded "truths",
"truths" that held minds captive for centuries, even millennia, and for which
the blood of millions has been spilled.
Economic, political, egocentric truth-molding forces are at work with vigor,
even in science and medicine. Today, more than ever, ideas compete for money
and power more than truth.
9/11 is a perfect example of regurgitated garbage, where people who believe
they're serious researchers simply repost theories found elsewhere.
The underlying message is be skeptical of anything you read online, including
what you read on ThreeWorldWars. Challenge everything you read, and send
it through your own truth filter. You know instinctively when someone's
blowing smoke. It isn't necessarily what is said, but how it's framed and
presented. Anything out of whack needs to be investigated.
<$firstname$>, that's all until next time!
As always,
Live Free and Keep Thinking!
All the best,
