Why I Want Quantitative Easing 3 (QE3)


I belong to a small group of informal tinkerers, thinkers, speculators, information terrorists and oddball lunar(tics) who suspect that Barack Obama is the most interesting occupant of the Whitehouse ever. I accept he's not delivered on key promises but this is a war we are in, and earlier promises are casualties of timing not commitment.

It wouldn't be helpful at this point in time to be more explicit but there are bits and pieces of mainstream academic theory and commentary that currently provide circumstantial evidence for the theory that dare not speak its name.

That's weird, I just realised we never ever say what it is we suspect. Just point at stuff that makes sense. It sounds very cliquey and I suppose it is.

Anyway, I read about the social theorists that Barack Obama based his masters dissertation on, and realised it was the most awesomest bad ass idea I've come across in over forty years of thinking about better ways for our planet and species. The idea behind the paper is nothing short of how to torpedo the good ship capitalism before it sails off with every last mineral, flora and fauna that is our obligation as a species to use frugally and share without profit for the collective good. I am good-to-go with QE whatever it takes till the parasite of capitalism finally keels over and sinks.

John Lear of Lear Jets



John Lear is the son of the founder of Lear Jets. I'm cautious about using any sources that have military, government or CIA connections because time and again I've found their information is seeded with disinformation, even though a lot of their testimony is grippingly interesting. John urges us to live without envy, hate or greed and with integrity at the end of this interview so I'm going to post it based on the assumption that he's walking the walk and also because they are important rules to live by. 

I should know, I've broken pretty much every rule I could at some point or other. Most I don't regret. Some I do.

Secrets In Plain Sight




I was on a yacht in the Andaman sea with a multi millionaire a few years back when we got onto the subject of books. He was an unassuming kind of guy who said very little so when he made a point of urging me to keep an eye out for a book that was 'just coming out' I made a mental note of it and bought a copy as soon as I could. That book was the Da Vinci code. It was unbelievably cheesy writing, but by the time I secured a copy, it had exploded into one of the best selling novels of all time, and had rocked the Vatican itself who fought tooth and nail to smear its credibility.

I always wondered if he knew it was going to be a best seller or if he was recommending a a good read because writing of that calibre is embarrassing as the book proves. However the information in it made an awful lot people interested in Vatican secrecy and you better believe it that, the Vatican like Buckingham palace have secrets that will make the people riot and loot them if they can just pull their attention away from the plasma screened, corn syrup TV-programming diet of X Factor, who is fucking who in the tabloids and their preferred ball game of choice.

I never paid the book enough attention because of my appalling snobbishness when it comes to lots of popular culture so I totally missed how important the secret cults and symbolism in the book were. Secrets in plain sight is a series of videos that reveal a lot more of those ancient mysteries. Later on I will post an interview with the author of the series as he's got some great information to share. Is this a good time to post a slimmer  me diving into the beautiful blue waters of the Andaman sea on that sailing trip? You betcha.
