Of The UFO Economy 2.0

                 During World War 2 the Nazis developed UFO technology that had a saucer using engines to spin the saucer.  The Nazis lacked anti gravity technology.  After World War 2 Nazi scientist were taken to the United States.  This became known as Operation Paperclip.  Nazi scientist influenced the American space program and research on mind control in the post war era.  Simultaneously, The Soviet Union carried out its space program with the help of some former Nazi scientist.  On October 4, 1957 the Soviet Union launched the first articial satellite.  The elites in America used this event to justify dramatically expanding the space program as the space race took off.  This lead to a secret space program funded by a black budget.  A black budget is off the books the spending that cannot be accounted for.
              On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first of mankind to step on the moon.  He was accompanied by two other astronauts named Buzz Aldrin and Micheal Collins.  Meanwhile, various secret projects were being carried out at area 51 to expand America's military capibilities as the Cold War raged on.  One of these projects was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) also known as "Star Wars".   The intent of this program was to develop a sophisticated anti-ballistic missile system in order to prevent missile attacks from other countries.  The weapons required included space- and ground-based nuclear X-ray lasers, subatomic particle beams, and computer-guided projectiles fired by electromagnetic rail guns—all under the central control of a supercomputer system.  A rail gun typically relies on the high speed of the projectile in order to inflict damge.  The project started in 1983 under President Ronald Reagan.  The project was eventually abondoned as it was unsuccessful.             There is not enoungh manufacturing capacity in the world to produce the frequency of UFOs being sighted.  This does not neccessarily mean that the UFOs are alien.  Rather, it means that if the production of these UFOs were taking place on Earth then much of it would be off the books.

Of The Financial Cou D'etat

                 When the computer and internet was being widely used by companies in the 1990's financial firms including commercial banks began to engage in high frequency trading.  As I mentioned in previous blogs thanks to Clinton era deregulation commercial banks were allowed to engage in activities previously reserved for investment banks.  At the time the tech bubble was underway.  This meant that the economy was being reorganized around high frequency trading rather than productive activity such as innovation.  Also, technology companies would eventually spend more money on patent lawsuits than developing new products.  Jobs were going overseas during this time and automation was displacing workers.  When the tech bubble crash in the year 2000 most investor did not learn their lesson.
             A similar pattern took place in the housing market from the early 2000's to the 2008 financial crises.  In the wake of the 2008 crash the financial service company Lehman Brothers was allowed to go bankrupt and go out of business.  However, insurance company AIG, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanely, and Goldman Sachs were all bailed out with tax payer dollars.  These firms issued along with other banks issued mortgage back bonds that defaulted when the housing market collapsed in 2008.  This was the result of commercial banks giving mortgages that did not require any the borrower to have any assets or income.  These loans became known as NINJA loans.  In the aftermath of the 2008 crash many of the financial firms that would have gone under had it not been for the bailouts became more powerful and profitable than ever.  Their political clout has increased dramatically in recent years because of lobbying and donations to political campaigns.  Many small banks were allowed to fail.  As I mentioned in previous blogs the financial industry is growing as a percentage of the economy.  The bailouts allowed the elites to get the black budget that I mentioned in a previous blog even more off the books.  Also, it enabled the banking industry to solidify its control over America.  None of the bankers responsible for the 2008 crash were punished by law enforcement.  Several financial firms were fined, but the fines were not large enough to sway them to change their behavior.  Indeed, the financial industry still issues mortgage back securities.
             In the aftermath of the 2008 recession the Federal Reserve immediately took action to improve the economy by lowering interest in the largest every bond buying spree.  This lowered the cost of capital for business and eased the flow of money.  Also, mortgages and car loans were cheaper.  However, this action by The Federal Reserve caused a bubble in the stock market.  As a result of the recent innovation such as virtual reality, there is a second tech bubble.  It is unknown when the tech bubble will collapse.  On the other hand, the economy has not reached prosperity so it is unlikely to collapse any time soon.
            One effective way to take back control of our nation from the banking industry is to utilize a community bank or a credit union for banking needs.  Also, buy food from a farmers market and save more money.  If the middle class is financially secure the economy is less likely to implode.  I will explain how to save money further in depth in later blogs.

An Essay Concerning Placed Based Finance and Industry

            As I've pointed out in previous blogs the financial industry is growing as a percentage of the economy and the real economy that involves physical production is suffering.  Also, the cost of health care and high education have risen dramatically in recent years.  Good jobs are being lost to automation and outsourcing.  However, re-shoring of industry is bringing back some of those positions and jobs are being created in the technology industry.  GMOs (Genetically Modified Organism) and pesticides are diminishing the quality of our food.  This trend could harm the health of the population and lead to a decrease in life expectancy.  Russia banned GMOs because of President Putin's decision.  The situation in the Ukraine was engineered so that Monsanto could export GMO seeds and pesticides to the country through its sea ports.  As you may know,  the government in the Ukraine was toppled so that the new regime would align itself with NATO and allow Monsanto to export GMO seeds and pesticides to the country.
           The banking industry takes unnecessary risk through high frequency trading of securities and derivative trading.  This could lead to billions of dollars in loses.  Furthermore, the banking industry is controlled by only a handful of large corporations.  These issues illustrate the needs to use local credit unions and community banks.  On April 20, 2010 when  a  Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico about 41 miles (66 km) off the coast of Louisiana—and its subsequent sinking on April 22.  The oil well was located about  4,993 feet (1,522 meters) under the sea on the sea floor and extended approximately 18,000 feet (5,486 meters) into the rock.  The explosion of the oil well resulted in billions of dollars of loses for fishermen and local communities around the coast of The Gulf of Mexico.  Also, a great deal of damage was done to the environment and the sea creatures were harmed.  It was the biggest marine oil spill in history.  This event demonstrates the need for energy to be produced locally.  Perhaps, by having an array of solar panels in a field and using windmills.  Using windmills or a field of solar panels is much cheaper than having individual households put solar panels on their roof.    
              The issues I illustrated in the last few paragraphs paint a bleak picture of the world we live in.  All of these issues can be solved by simple lifestyle and financial decisions that all make on a daily basis.  A Placed Based system of finance and industry could be created if every household redirected a small portion of their spending to small businesses and utilized community banks or credit unions for their banking needs.  Also, we have to eat healthier.  This means going to a fast food restaurants a lot less often and when we do eat out on those special occasions such as a birthday we go to a locally owned restaurant.  Also, more food would be purchased from farmer markets and when food is purchased from grocery stores most of it is organic,  Organic food is much healthier because it does not contain harmful pesticides or GMOs that non organic food contains.  I would encourage readers to engage in entrepreneurial activity or find ways to help create an environment that support entrepreneurship in your local community.  
                  Currently, there are harmful regulations in place that make it very difficult to open up a small business.  Many of these regulations are written by large corporations that have lobbyists in Washington and every state capital in the country.  Small businesses are the back bone of our economy.  They take enormous risk to develop products and services that could potentially improve the quality of life for people.  Large corporations do not try not innovate nearly as much because its too costly for them and there is simply too much bureaucracy to work through.  Small business, community banks, and credit unions have close ties to the communities they serve.  These means that it is in their best interest to serve their customers to the best of their ability.  Many small business lack the talent to be successful.  I would encourage small business to hire interns from universities and community colleges.  This would be much cheaper than hiring a college graduate and it would add much needed expertise to the business.  Also, I would encourage local chambers of commerce and local economic development groups to step up their efforts to create an environment that supports entrepreneurial activity.  Even if it means spending less time attracting companies to locate to the area.    
              Placed Based Industry would mean that the production of products and services that people use would take place in their local community.  People would be able to talk to everyone involved in the process of producing, promoting, and selling the products and services they use.  This includes healthcare.  Currently, there are local hospitals and doctors that work tirelessly to serve patients in their local community.  Many of these doctors have their own practice.  However, big pharma is in the hands of a few large corporations that have raised the prices of their products dramatically over the past few decades.
           As I mentioned earlier, the need to produce energy locally is great.  The need could be fulfilled by small companies working together to make solar panel arrays in field and windmills.  In some counties people are pushing back against companies that are trying to build windmills.  Windmills do not make that much noise.  There is concern that windmills could kill bird.  This problem can be avoided by studying the migration routes of birds so that birds are not harmed.  By taking these steps the cost of energy would be reduced dramatically and we would break are dependence on oil imported from South America, the Middle East, and North Africa.  Electric cars that do not have a gas tank would be much cheaper than the latest version of cars that can run on electricity.  Indeed, charging stations would be needed to ensure that drivers could charge their vehicles and the technology would have to be improved upon so that the cars charge much faster.
         Earlier in the blog, I pointed out that industry is re-shoring.   This trend started on the east and west coast and is working its way to the heartland.  This also means that capital is being re-shored.  Not just financial capital but also human capital.  Talented workers are being brought in from other countries especially China.  Companies will eventually have to invest in training American workers.
          The need to provide education locally is becoming more important than ever.  Currently, there are local public schools that do a wonderful job serving the youth in their local community.  However, many of these schools are losing control to state and federal governments in the wake of common core legislation.  This means that parents are losing control as well.  Also, tuition even at public universities has been steadily increasing over the last few decades.  Perhaps, university education could be provided more locally to solve this problem.  There are community colleges that serve local communities.  However, these institutions provide two year degrees or some classes to transfer to a four year college.  It would also help the local economy if more students could earn their bachelor degree without having to move to another city.        
          Former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the George W.H Bush administration, Catherine Austin Fitts has been beating the drum on the need to implement a system of Placed Based Finance and Industry.  I have attached a link to the articles on her website that discusses this issue further in depth and practical solutions to problems local communities face. On the page that I put a link to there are a number of articles from other websites that are not written by Catherine Austin Fitts.

Of Various Methods For Overcoming A Learning Disability

                   When I was three years old I was diagnosed with a learning disability.  The people who did the dignoses said that I may never learn how to read or write or do basic math.  Both of my maternal grandparents spent their lives working in special education at a vocational high school.  After the diagnoses my grandparents talked to my mom.  They told her what she needed to hear not what she wanted to hear.  They discussed how to make sure that by the time I'm an adult I can get a job and be independent. 
                      According to my mom, I was sensitive to light, sound, touch, and I was non- verbal.  I do not recall displaying any of these traits.  I am thankfull that my mom began the process soon enough for me to only remember a non dissociative version of myself that did not display the symptoms of the learning disability I was diagnosed with.  My mother took me to garage sales, the bank, the grocery store, and resterants to try and teach me the neccessary social skills to be successful as an adult.  She never let me settle down on a routine.  For example, she would change the blinds and she would make me change my routine.  She wanted me to go to the same school as kids that do not have learning disabilities and I did.  I went to a regular school for preschool all the way up through high school.  She insisted on pushing me to improve my communication skills and to learn to read and write.  My mother did not lower her expectations for me.  Too often people set the expectations lower for kids with learning disabilities.   
              Before my second grade year we moved from a suburb to a small farm town.  The elementary school that I went had a total of 150 students and one class for each grade.  The school was wonderful and I progressed greatly.  In second grade I could not count to twenty and my reading and writing skills were behind most of my peers.  I memorized the multiplication table and could read and write proficiently in third grade.  My teacher that year agreed with my mom that I needed to pushed harder than I have ever been pushed.  Also, I took all of my spelling test using cursive handwriting and I did very well on most of them.  The entire class was expected to use cursive handwriting and even though I was originally not expected to learn cursive handwriting I insisted on doing it.  I read ancient history books meant for college students that year and my social skills improved dramatically.  I made new friends and began to understand more abstract concepts such as money.  In elementary school I received speech therapy and occupational therapy.  My parents could not afford expensive therapy and they did not pay a tutor to help me.  My mother would not even consider medicating me.  I starting taking fish oil when I was little and that helped me calm down.  Shortly after I started taking fish oil we visisted my maternal grandparents and my grandmother asked what she had me on.  My mother explained that taking fish oil helped me calm down.  In third grade I did all of the same homework and tests as the other students and I was held to the same set of expectations.  In fourth grade I learned long division and I did very well academically.   
              By middle school I was on the regular curriculum and I was off the modified grading scale.  In middle school I went from being an introvert to being an extrovert.  I performed wonderfully academically in seventh and eighth grade.  In middle school I did marching and concert band.  I played the clarinet, the base clarinet, and the cymbols.  In eighth grade I wrestled and ran track.  My mother pointed out that its impressive that I did wrestling because I used to be sensitive to touch.  I won five wrestling matches that year. 
               In high school I took the college prep track.  I wrestled, played football, and ran track.  My social life was vibrant and I did very well in sports.  My junior and senior year of high school I took college classes online through a university.  These classes were mostly business classes along with a couple of math courses and a writing class.  I did well in all of these classes.  My senior year I qualified for DECA Nationals for an event that involved a case study and interview situation.  I had to place fourth at State DECA competition in Columbus, Ohio to qualify for Nationals.  Nationals was in Nashville, Tennessee that year.  I did not place at Nationals, but I enjoyed various activities while I was there.  These activities included attending a Naishville Sounds game, going on cruise, and walking around the campus at Vanderbilt.  I graduated in the top fifth of my class and with a years worth of college credit.  I graduated high school about three years ago.  Currently, I am attending a mid sized university to study economics.  I plan on working as an economist for a local government after I graduate. 
            My mother wrote a book using what she learn from her experiences with raising me about how to raise a child with a disability to be as independent as possible.  The book is available for free on kindle and the title of the book is "Striving for Independence: Ways to Help Children with Disabilities Learn to Function More Indepedently".  I put a link to the book on kindle below.

Of The Problems With Biblical Literalism

                    As I mentioned in previous blogs, the bible utilizes an ancient style of writing that involves allegories, metaphors, symbolism, and things happening on multiple levels.  This means that the bible is not meant to be taking literally.  In fact, by missing the deeper meaning the author had we do a disservice to the author.  It is important to note that the bible was written in ancient Greek and it is very difficult to translate into English accurately.  In the King James version of the bible the translators used two or three possible meanings for each of the phrases they translated.  The King James version is much sounder version of the bible to read. 
                 Some people do not believe in evolution because of the creation story in the book of Genesis.  The story was meant to explain that God created the universe in a way that people in biblical times would understand.  People in biblical times would not easily understand the process of evolution or The Big Bang Theory.  There is scientific evidence that the theory of evolution has truth to it.  This is evident as many of the extint species that came before modern humans closely resemble mankind.  A similiar story took place with many other species.     
                  Other people believe that word is only 10,000 or 6,000 years old based on the detailed genealogy given in the Old Testament.  There is emperical evidence that the world is much older than this.  Scientist have used radiometric dating to determine that many fossils are millions of years old,  Also, geology have done alot of work that proves that the world is at least four and a half billion years old. 
                 The stories in the bible are not to be taken as historical fact.  There is little evidence that Egypt had a million Jewish slaves.  This is not to say that Jesus did not live.  The purpose of the stories in the bible are to provide lessons.  Below I put a link to an article that is the basis for this blog.           

The Simple Truth About Biblical Literalism and the Fundamentalists Who Promote It

Of The UFO Economy

             Since the Roswell incident in 1947 there have been a number of UFO sighitings.  The U.S military has used this as justification for various secret projects at area 51 many of them off the books.  As a I mentioned in a previous blog a black budget is being utilized to fund these off the books projects.  This means there are hundreds of billions if not quadrillions missing.  This is evident as these secret projects, many of which are space programs, have been going on for decades.  Corporations that supply the needed materials for this project have profited nicely. 
             Sometimes the government will release documents related to UFOs.  However, the documents could have been released just to munipulate the narrative of the subject.  The information in the document may not necessarily be true.  Also, the lamestream media focuses on topics that are unimportant to distract the population from reality.  Since 9/11 some people have been lead to believe that they can no longer trust their own senses.  Sometimes these people do not believe evidence that is right there in front of them. 
               There is a portion of the constitution that addresses the appropriation of federal funds.  These laws need to be enforced.  The constitution needs to be enforced.  The government of the United States does not need to change the constitution, but rather it needs to enforce existing laws.    These means that congress would have access to accurate financial information regarding the military's and NASA's activities. 
              It is unknown whether the UFO's are aliens, humans from Earth, timetravelers, or even a breakaway group from Earth.  I find theory that the UFOs are time travelers to be unlikely.  The theory that they are humans is more plausible as is the theory that they are aliens. 
               There are many people claiming that they were abducted by aliens.  We do not know whether these claims are true, or whether some of these claims are being made to manipulate the information on UFOs.  Its possible that there are humans from Earth are using UFOs to abduct other humans.  Then brainwash them into thinking that it was aliens.  If these claims are true then we do not know what the motives are behind these kidnappings. 
                 It is important to note that in John F Kennedy's (JFK) memoir he claim that when he was president he was briefed that the United States has the capacity to take three hundred people into space in one space ship.  If this claim is true it is hard to imagine what are real space capabilities are by now.  Also, JFK threatened to invade area 51 unless he was given more information about what was going on there.  He never invaded area 51.
                 Richard Dolan, Joseph p Farrell, Catherine Austin Fitts, and The Dark Journalist have done alot of interviews on this topic. Dr. Farrell and Richard Dolan have written a number of books on the topic.  Catherine Austin Fitts did a series of interviews with The Dark Journalist on The UFO Economy.  In these interviews she focuses on the implications that the secret space program has for ordinary people.  I put links to these interviews below.

Of The Problems With Common Core

                   In Ohio Common Core sets extremely high standards for the level of reading that third graders are supposed to have.  Under current state law if a third grader does not perfrom well enough on a standerdized test that tests reading skills then that third grader is held back.  Holding a student back costs a great deal of time and money.  Also, holding a student back may harm the student's self- esteem and decrease the student's chances of graduating high school.  Since Common Core's implementation math and reading skills amongst our nations youth have deteriorated.  This hurts their chances of becoming college and career ready. 
                   The introduction of technology in the classrooms of elementary schools is hindering the social skills of our nation's youth and their handwriting skills are getting worse.  The Gates are the one pushing for technology to be implemented into our nation's classrooms and they profit handsomely from it.  The technology leader of Silicon Valley send their kids to private schools where no technology is utilized. 
                    When I talk to people some of them do not ask hard questions and they do not consider the possibility of uninteded consequences.  Also, they often do not question whether or not a mistake is being made.  It is arrogance to assume that there is no chance of a mistake.  Ignorance is not asking difficult questions.  The standerdized testing industry rakes in billions of dollars every year.  Standerdized testing forces teachers to teach to the test and takes control away from the local school district and the teacher.  Furthermore, standerdized testing diminishes creativity and critical thinking.  It is possible that the elites are using standerdized testing as a means to conduct an intelligence census.  In other words, the elites want an overview of how smart the population is. 
                 Common Core forces elementary school teachers to give students so much work that they have less time to play, reflect, socialize, and engage in creative activity.  This means that kids are getting less exercise which is not conducive to excellent health.  Kids that have more fun in their childhood tend to be more intelligent as adults. 
                   We have a culture that perpetuates ugliness.  Traditional western culture is under attack by the political class especially in the United States.  We need an education system that teaches students to enrich the culture with beauty.  Currently, art schools do not teach students to paint like Michelangelo.  Music schools do not teach students to perfrom or compose music like J.S Bach. 
                   Dr. Joseph p Farrell critized the American education system in his book "Rotten To The Common Core".  In his book he focuses on the origins of standerdized testing and the modern American education system.  Also, he did an interview with Forum Borealis in which he spelled out these issues along with current trends in the education system.  I put a link to that interview below.
