A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free, the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm our corny and a butter knife one day closer Victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, Central, Southeast, ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on dot 4M com Indiana Freedom Talk. We're on AM and FM micro stations, SINS and Ultra Net Hallmark and Golden Spike technology is east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're heading to sunset clear skies horizon to horizon right now, of course I could change us. It's a beautiful Friday here What's the date today? BK? What's jumping off the wall? What's been happening over there in your neck in the woods? It is 21 August 2015. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this quarter-masters corner. Audio check. I was buzzing and going all silent a little while ago. Am I coming through okay now? You are sounding clean. No waiters for infra- the lines are perfect right now. Go ahead please. Okay, very good. I was abusing my internet connection a little while ago. That was probably the cause of that. So, we have actually had a couple of days of sign, which is a novel experience most of this year we have not. I was poking around on some of the weather sites thinking, man, you know, what's the What's the deal with all of the rain? What are the statistics and so on? And there's a funny thing. I went looking at all of the national and federal type websites I could find and none of them seemed to indicate that anything unusual had happened at all. I was looking at the statistics and saying, well, you know, there's one inch extra of rain above average and something. I was thinking, no way, no way. And then I went sniffing around some more and I came across one from the University of Missouri here in the state. And sure enough, it's saying in June we had 17 rain days. Bear in mind there's only 30 days in the month. I can tell you from first hand experience that when we had a rain day, they were just absolute cats and dogs rain days. And the next day was usually heavy overcast. So that was more than half of the days that were heavy rain, and most of the following days afterwards were heavy overcast. That's consistent with my actual experience, but I had to find a university weather website to talk about that. Then I looked at July and they said, well, there was 14 rain days in July. So I guess that's a little bit better than 17, but not by much, very nearly half of those days. And once again, you have a pouring rain day. The next day has been very heavy overcast. That's consistent with my experience. There's been almost no sunny days around here. I have tomato plants that are six inches tall. There's corn growing down in the fields because in completely unshaded, unobstructed areas, there is apparently enough sunlight for those things to be able to push up to some degree. I don't know how it's doing relative to the normal schedule of things. My experience and what I've seen, I don't keep a daily log or anything like that, it's been just absolute monsoons, as I have grumbled about here on air. And nothing has managed to grow to any significant degree in a slightly light, constrained environment, not terribly light constrained. And here I had to get to a university website to find statistics that validated my direct observation, yet all of the national weather type things would have us believe that nothing unusual happened. It was all exactly, you know, as normal. It's very, very weird. It's hard to imagine that anybody would, on an organized basis, lie about the weather of all things, but that seems to be... I'm proud to have that. Having a little technical difficulty, guys. We'll be right back up in just a second. By pre-conferencing.com. Access code accepted. You're back, BK, by Mark's house. We'll be back on the conference. We'll be back on the conference. Please announce yourselves. Again, that's Golden Valley Merchantile. Alright, we're back, Dad. Okay, we have just returned from an outage. That's a power outage or a... No, it had a computer restart on its own. That was my fault. Oh, okay, very good. We got... I am here. There we go. Go right ahead, Jeff. I can free you under weather while you're trying to hide things. Shoot. Age. Yeah, there's some... There's some reason... Wait a minute. Ice Age. I was promised global warming. I want my global warming! I bought extra shorts. We're in suntan cream. What the hell is wrong with these people? I went long on thermals. Yeah. Elex wrote two books. One is Not by Fire, but by Ice and Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps. Interesting Reads, Say the Leaps. Here's a website that's Ice Age. It's an interesting blog. I mean, you're... It gives you day by day stories of when places in June where it hasn't happened since the turn of the century or whatever. It's been interesting to see some of that in the photos and like that. I think we are on terrain because of the rain. These are all signs of things that happened twice ages. Right, there's some reason to believe we are certainly overdue for an ice age. What's more, the record indicates that whenever the trends reverse, whenever we go from a warm age to a cooling age to a warming age and so on, at the peaks and valleys of that curve, there's a certain amount of jittering up and down. Now, that rapid jittering is not very rapid from our point of view, but is rapid by geological standards. So a little twitch up and a twitch down and so on that vampire minions like Al Gore can use to justify pathological policies claiming global warming and so on and so forth, may just simply be the jitterings as the system toggles back and forth between rising and falling temperatures. We could be entering the next Ice Age right now and have these prancing minions of the vampires prating about global warming for their own purposes, knowing full well that what they're pointing to is actually a reversal in the beginning of an Ice Age. Exactly, because see what, take the sun for instance. The sun has a warm and cold period. It is periods where it doesn't shut down fully. The few degrees that it does shut down is enough to trigger an ice age. And because the sun and the Earth both have magnetic fields, the Earth's magnetic field is like severely compromised. When things go wrong, you know, like the sunspots and the sun starts going into a cooling period, then that's one of the reasons why you see so many of these earthquakes and volcanoes. And the interesting thing is for every volcano that's above the ocean, probably a thousand that are below it. Three-fourths of the earth is water. Alcanoes are actually... Yeah, the junk that they spit out still comes out. Right, right, you know. and you don't hear much talk about that, this and that, but what it is is it's the sun. The sun starts going into a cooling phase and it triggers all of this stuff. The rain in places where normally there would be, and it offers rain in places, but all going off at the same time, and these are all indicators of a coming ice age. Well, there's that. Plus, we can spot the monkeying around with the chemtrails, which is almost certainly a manipulation of the albedo of the Earth. Spraying this stuff in great big sheets causes energy to be reflected up and down and it manipulates the temperature as well. So, there's not only the natural fluctuations in solar output, but there's also a monkey business going on and I have no reason to believe that the guys engaging in the monkey business really know what they're doing. So we could be in the soup even worse than they are deliberately doing. They could screw up badly by accident and cause a real disaster. Honest to goodness, I counted one time, it was only about 11.30 in the morning and counted about, I want to say 17 chemtrails. Looking in all four directions. I'm in like 17 of them. I mean, I'm in flyover country and I mean, I'm getting sprayed like a roach. I mean, I'm not kidding. That's what they think of you as too. All of us. I think so. What's his name? His eye is uh, Rockefeller or whatever. You know, that guy hit eyes like an insect. Put him somewhere around a pranantis. The one that said addition is a sin, that guy. That was JD Rockefeller, yeah. Okay. Is that the one he put on a dime? No, no. FDR went on the dimes. Back in the day when we had real dimes. I had to resort to a university website to find weather reporting that seemed to me to be honest. So it is kind of weird to think that somebody might actually mess around with reporting as something so obvious and basic as weather data, but from what I looked around it seemed to be the case, which is quite odd. You would think that, well, why would anybody bother? Surely the people responsible for that sort of stuff are so far down the chain and so uninterested in policy issues that they wouldn't be on board with any sort of falsification. But what I saw seemed to indicate that anything federal claimed that there was no deviation from norm. And yet I found this university site run by the State University that basically acknowledged that this is incredibly unusual degrees of rainfall and so on, which is what I observed on the ground. So it's a rather remarkable occurrence. As they say, the old curse says, may you live in interesting times. Well, we are living in very interesting times. The cracks are starting to form. The corporate press is prating about a currency war as if China's adjustments of their foreign currency is somehow an unprecedented and unprovoked assault on the U.S. Now they're just trying to keep their leaky little robo to float, making minor changes in the exchange rates. But the corporate press are, of course, apologists for all of the vampire programs that are underway. Meanwhile, we can watch things falling apart at the seams. We're getting to the point where it is becoming so obvious to any of us, and yet not perceived by the general public, that I think there is a widening gap. between the perceptions of anybody that's paying the slightest bit of attention and those whatever number they may be that are still absorbing the routine patter from the corporate press. For example, we have seen the pattern of the U.S. attacking and ravaging every country in the Middle East that's functional and has fought the so-called terrorists. At the same time, the US is, of course, behind ISIS and funding them and arming and equipping them and pretending to fight them. We blew up Iraq, we blew up Libya, we did what we could to blow up Egypt and Sudan, and we're trying to blow up Syria. Every single one of those has countries that have pursued and in one way or another harmed the genuine nut-ball lunatic fringe in the Middle East. Qaddafi was hell on wheels. pursuing the Al-Qaeda crew and look what we did to Libya in order to fix that, to stop him from doing that. Syria is also a problem for ISIS, so we're attacking Syria. We now have press reports. This is at the level of everybody knows. Apparently everybody in the Middle East has seen these things. that stocky English accent blue-eyed Al-Qaeda are all dressed up in black and running operations against Syria. All of these guys that speak Arabic with a British accent are running around attacking Syrian government forces. And of course everybody knows their SAS. And at this point even the British Corporate press is starting to admit that, yeah, there's SAS running around in ISIS garb attacking Syria. Well, they're not fooling anybody. And once again, the US, British, nobody ever mentions the Israelis, as they were not allowed to do that. Axis are attacking any state that is, in fact, operating effectively against ISIS. Now, the US has just announced it made a deal with Turkey that says that the US gives Turkey approval to attack the Kurds because the Kurds have been effectively resisting ISIS. Well, you know, and at the same time, the US corporate press is going on and on about how ISIS is a big threat and, you know, we need to do something about them and nobody seems to be able to do anything about them and blah, blah, blah. yet not mentioning the fact that everybody that does anything effective about them comes under US attack. And now it's the Kurds turn. So, you know, at this point anybody with the slightest bit of common sense is going to put two and two together and notice the pattern and say, wait a minute, the US is clearly pretending to attack ISIS and energetically attacking anybody that attacks ISIS, so whose side are they really on? Comments. These are the characters in Lawrence and Arabia in the later part of the movie. Who did he hire? Who were the mercenaries that all the rest hated? Where were they from? Well, that little district off to the side there of the northwestern part of Syria is exactly where they came from. These characters have been hacked and are notorious for, again, being sold to the highest bidder across the board. Most everybody else doesn't want everything to do with them. They're stuck with them as this pocket and they are joined right at the hip with the... First it was with the Jewish mafia, later with the Israeli government, which is nothing more than the Jewish mafia plopped in their midst. So, you know, rehash in a way, but, you know, lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal pay attention guys. Some of the stuff that was done in the past really has some excellent historical reference in it. You just have to pay attention to the cast of characters and you'll understand what you're looking at on the stage today. Go ahead. So, you know, the whole thing has become a comedy circus, but it is drifting into a zone of unreality where people have to be on a total drug trip to buy the official story at this point. I mean, even the official sources are feeding you enough clues that the inconsistencies are becoming all but impossible to overlook and ignore, and yet we are led to believe that a fair percentage are in fact swallowing it. It is hard to imagine how long that can hold together But I've said that about many things in the past and seen things hold together for an astonishingly long period far more than I expected them to. So I'm no expert on the timing of the psychology of things. Well the interesting thing about this is they've tried very hard to deal with Sirius. Sirius is the most interesting of the group of states that they targeted only in that they have thrown vast resource. ISIS was closest originally, ISIS as the the province of Syria that originally it was. You know, Israeli Secret Intelligence Service, of course, but the faction that was originally there were part of Syria for many many years and overtly several times tried to, you know, subvert or betray Syria. Failed. repeatedly and have failed repeatedly. This is actually, even with the amount of massive resources that have been poured into these creatures, they are beyond what they had in the past. And they've still not been successful. Mostly because the rest of the Syrian population, nobody's going to put a microphone to their face, they would tell you exactly what they think about these turds. Let's put it this way, even the Christians were pretty, you know, forgiving and typically have been off to the side in all of the actions to date. Now that the SAS is in there killing Christians because that's who's... Remember what we said before? I said a year ago about this. And farther, they wanted us in... We'd be next to ISIS killing women and kids and Christians specifically. Now the SAS is in there with their fake SAS personnel. Oh, not really fake, because they're, you know, whores to the Israelis. They're in there doing exactly what they initially figured that us to do and put the total bill forward to include the casualties. That's the difference. But now they're doing exactly what we described. We're not there with them in the years that they were planning so that everybody go angst later. Yeah, I killed a whole village full of, you know, Christian women and kids, but they asked for going crazy and they told us to go crazy with them. So I gotta take Prozac now and now I'm all angst about the war and... Oh, you see, enough of that with Iraq and basically said piss off. And that's where they're promising. So now we've got the mercenary horse, the S.A.S., in there doing what they're doing. Well, we've also knocked off the targets that we were able to knock off. We've expended a lot of our strength and resources, and we're running against tougher and tougher opponents and fewer and fewer actual accomplices on the ground. The Europeans have a much better view of what's going on than the American public. As usual, the U.S. public is the least informed a bunch on the entire planet because our corporate news is so thoroughly controlled by the vampires. I'm not sure why the Euro-governments went along so readily with the early stages of all these vampire attacks, but they're starting to drag their feet now. It's as if we've discovered by experiment the limits of their willingness to go along with ridiculous stuff. Or maybe we paid them and we're running out of money. It's hard to tell. But even the Euros are starting to slow down and say, well, we're not getting involved in the next attack. You want to do that, we can't stop you. you know, we're not going to help. And the interesting thing is that, well, again, that buckets of money just kept flowing, but people are bulking, well, even the system's bulking because it turned out to be basically a money pit. Well, there's not only that, but we've got these multiple fronts going. We're making trouble with the Russians, and the Europeans are taking a lot of the hits on that economically. You know, when you stage economic warfare, it's largely an exercise of cutting your wrists and flinging droplets of blood at the other guy to see if you can stain his clothing. You know, it causes the other guy some harm, but You have to be wealthy enough to take an enormous amount of damage in order to harm somebody else significantly through economic warfare. And in the current campaign against Russia, run through our puppets in Ukraine is the latest phase of it. tremendous amount of economic damage is being taken by the Western Europeans who had become accustomed to a lot of trade with the Russian Federation and so on. And so while we're buying all of the Balkan states and signing up everybody in sight to be part of NATO and talking about positioning missiles on the forward frontier and all that kind of good stuff, The Western Euros are taking a hit in the wallet and losing enthusiasm for our scheme, saying, you know, wait a minute, this is costing us a lot, what are we getting out of it? And what they're getting out of it is enough economic disruption that the more marginal states like Greece, Spain, Italy, and so on, are teetering financially. Our solution is, of course, well, you know, Western Europe's going to have to pick up the tab and support these guys as they collapse. And the Western Euros are saying, wait a minute, you know, you not only cost us an enormous amount directly, but now you want to knock some of these guys cold and have us nurse them back to hell at our expense. What's going on here? So there seems to be limits. to the cooperation that we can get out of those kinds. I'm not sure why they cooperated to the extent they have. Somebody got paid off and now it's getting to be so expensive that paying them off individually is not enough to secure their cooperation because they're going to have to become too obvious and overt and get caught or something along those lines. It's hard to tell. But, you know, there's only so much you can bribe somebody to do. You can bribe a cop to look the other way, but it's really hard to pay him enough to get him to walk out in front of City Hall and gun down the mayor and be videotaped to doing it because there's no amount of money that's going to make him able to ride that one out. So there are limits to what you can accomplish by bribing somebody. I think that maybe we are reaching those limits in the meddlings both in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and in the Middle East. Of course, the whole plan is to exhaust the U.S. of its resources anyway. But I'm starting to think that maybe the vampires are falling short of their results goals, even though they are rapidly approaching the limits of our resources. It may be that they have just, you know, the U.S. economy has just a few gallons, too few in the tank, to accomplish all of the things that the vampires had in mind before we ran out of gas. You know, they may have miscalculated in that area. I don't know. I'm just, I'm forgiving you, something else, just, somebody just shot us something here. Don't forget on August 27, 2015 at 2.30 a.m. Mars will be visible. Well, guys, Mars is regularly visible. Yeah, that happens all the time. But that will be at 2287. I can't wait. Wait, now, maybe Mars and the moon together? I figure it's because they're showing a picture of the moon and Mars near it and vice versa, and it's like, okay. Otherwise, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense because, guys, Mars is in our regular basis. Well, the reason Mars has a name is that people have been seeing it for thousands of years. Right. It's not like it's going to disappear. It won't be around until 2285. I assume that's some kind of alignment with the, to do with it being in close proximity to the Moon. Just a heads up there on that because that just looked goofy. We'll believe you. The Mars won't be around for a long time after this event. Cool! Mars will be gone soon. Okay, I think that Marge is going to be there for quite a while yet. The vampires haven't figured out how to break that sort of thing yet. A few interesting little things. People may not have noticed, but I thought I would mention we have talked about the TPP and the treachery that's involved there. That's yet another scheme to drain a little bit more blood out of the U.S. economy, and also to do some things like extend U.S. copyright law over other parts of the planet where it doesn't reach at this point and so on. They are playing the same game. They are playing the Pelosi game. Oh, you have to pass it to find out what's in it sort of thing. Well, this is so overt. that WikiLeaks has crowd sourced a project and raised funds and pledges. Last time I looked, they were up to $200,000 to whomever manages to come up with the actual text documents that show what is in the TPP and its European version, the, was it TIPP or something like that. Between the two of those, there are two separate bounties. I think there's something like $80,000 and $120,000 or something along those lines. Anybody that actually has a copy of the document and can forward it to WikiLeaks in a verifiable form is in line for a paycheck of some $200,000. I think that's pretty funny. How much? 200 grand. Oh, only two. You're supposed to say only when you do that. Well, this is crowdsource. This is people saying, you know, I'll pledge 30 bucks, you know, I'll throw in 20 bucks. You know, it's that many people who are willing to throw in a few bucks and it's gotten to the point where there's, you know, a $200,000 bounty out there just for the actual text of a treaty or agreement or whatever you want to call it that our supposed representatives are in line to approve real soon now, anytime now, and commit us to. And it's such a big secret what's in it that so far nobody has even collected the 200 grand. So I just thought I would mention that in case anybody had missed that little miscellaneous news item. It's just kind of revealing and entertaining. Earlier this week I had an interesting little situation that also is demonstrative of the deterioration of our infrastructure, in this case organizational and corporate. My dad, people may know, is failing mentally. He's not officially in Alzheimer's yet, but he's getting there. and this makes him, in my opinion, a perfect target for low grade criminal activity. I believe he's been robbed a couple of times already, probably by staff at the facility where he's living. This is the perfect crime when your victim cannot clearly state that he has been victimized or identify somebody even if he sees them. The most recent thing is that his wallet was stolen and I do not believe the alibi that, oh, he must have hidden it somewhere or blah, blah, blah. So, I have to deal with that, and he's got absolutely no ID and so on and so forth. One thing is that it struck me to what a degree you are a non-person without all of those bits of pieces of paper and plastic and so on. It is astonishing. If he were not in a place where his rent was already taken care of and food was taken care of and so on, he would be in serious doo-doo right now for lack of some scraps of paper and plastic. Once more, I had to take him in tow and run around and do some errands associated with that. So we went to the Bank of America where he has an account and explained to them, well, his wallet is gone, including some blank checks from his account here at Bank of America. This is a problem. Please put a hold on his account or at least watch it for unusual activity. And, you know, we're there in a retail branch. And I can show them my ID and you know here he is right in tow and all of that sort of stuff and All of the people standing around there with all the bright plastic smiles are saying oh, well, you know there's nothing we can do about that Show us his ID. He doesn't have any ID. It was lost. Oh well Who are you here's my ID? Oh, well, you're not the account holder. No This is my dad. He's the account holder. He's right here. You can see him. He's not all that coherent, but he's present here in the flesh. He's lost his wallet. We want you to put a hold on the account or at least watch it for unusual activity. Oh, well, we can't do that. But here's a business card. You can call this 800 number. You can do it right from the phone over here on the desk. So we do that. Turns out to be an idiot computer that wants to know which transaction is fraudulent. So we go back to the personnel and say, hey look, that's not useful and you knew that perfectly well when you gave me this card. We want you to put a hold on the account. Oh, well, we can't do that. So I go over to a teller and say, well, you know, and here's the situation. Let's put a hold on his account or at least watch it for unusual activity. Oh well, we can't divulge any information to you. Well, you don't have to divulge anything to me. I'm telling you what's going on. We just want you to exercise due diligence here. We've informed you that there's a problem. Watch the account. Oh, we can't divulge any information to you. I want you to divulge any information to me. I don't need to. Here's his information. Oh, we can't divulge anything to you. It's just round and round and round. After a little bit, they got stuck in a loop saying, we can't divulge anything to you. I didn't ask you to divulge. We can't divulge anything to you. All of the people in this Bank of America, I'm going to say it again, are droids. They seem to be unable to process the simplest information. This is not an unusual situation. This sort of thing happens to people all the time. Chaseback is exactly the same. They claim to be very interested in avoiding fraud, and yet you walk in and say, here's a situation, keep your eyes open, and all they can say is, we can't divulge that to you. So... We get stuck in a loop. Now, I must have talked with a half dozen people there. I'm sure that every single person there is being paid at least 30 grand a year. That's cut wages nowadays by establishment standards. And not one of them is competent enough to do anything. But they're all standing around looking blank and smiling little plastic smiles and not doing anything because they don't know how to do anything. It's not that they're in any way in cahoots with the thieves, it's just they're completely incompetent and they haven't a clue how to accomplish anything. And this is in an organization that has procedures and rules and mechanisms and so on and so forth. And those procedures, rules, and mechanisms don't seem to handle even the most common situation. So, I point this out as a demonstration of the non-functionality of an enormous organization. Bank of America is not a small operation. It has eaten multiple other banks. Bank of America has retail establishments all over the place, presumably to transact business, and yet they seem unable to transact business. They can pay all these people out of all of the fees and whatnot that they have scraped out of people's accounts, out of their transactions and so on, and yet they cannot handle even the simplest thing. when you reach the limit of their competence, their reflex is to hide behind privacy, saying, oh, we can't divulge that to you as if they are somehow protecting somebody's privacy. Now, I would be inclined to think that, oh, well, this is one organization that has just, you know, had a stroke and can no longer think. But, there's another incident the same week that did the same thing. Sorry. Yesterday, I went down to the grocery store and paid some bills. It is worthwhile to pay the utility bills down there because it doesn't cost very much. Basically, it costs the price of two postage stamps instead of one. But you get the bill paid immediately, you get a receipt, and you get a third party involved. So the But, utility companies cannot say they didn't get a payment and so on. So, I find it worthwhile to do that. I did that. And then today, just this morning, I get a robot call from the letter company saying, well, you know, your account is overdue. You ought to pay this. So, I punch the appropriate buttons to talk to one of the clerks and say, you know, hey, I just got this robot call. Here's my name. Here's my address. I paid the bill yesterday. at this location, at this time, and so on and so forth. Can you verify that you guys saw the payment? What do you think the helpful clerk said to me? We can't upload that to you! Well, you don't have to. I've told you everything you need to know. I'm not asking you for any information that's useful for an identity theft. All I wanted is a yes or no. Did you see the payment? And what do I get? Well, we can't... that to you is the same response from a different organization. It's as if it has become the standard mantra of all of these organizations that they are somehow responsible for privacy. Sorry, I'm wearing out my voice as I tend to do when I go on like this. But that is the standard reflex and cover now for incompetence and ineffectiveness. Once again, I will say that probably even the idiot sitting on the phone at the water company is probably being paid 30 grand a year, minimum, and accomplishing nothing. You know, when you call up and say, you know, hey, here's all the information and whatnot, can you verify that you saw the payment? That's not... you know, private data. It's not anything secret. It's not like I could steal somebody's identity by getting yes or no data, you know, did you see a payment? And yet they act as if that's the case. So once again, I think that what's going on is that somebody somewhere has told all of these organizations that, okay, you are part of the surveillance system, You are responsible to police data flow within the society and you can get in trouble if you slip out of line. All of these people are completely incompetent, untrained, incapable, and at the same time probably desperately afraid of making a mistake. the old Soviet Union, we had the same thing. Nobody was responsible to accomplish anything, but everybody was in fear of making a mistake. So what you do is you just do nothing and hope for the best. And I think that we are in a similar degenerative mode getting to the point where our corporate infrastructure is unable to function even at its current low levels. Now I am losing my voice, I'm going to push off onto you the necessity to carry the last seven minutes. Well, the interesting thing about it is that progressively, step by step, they of course perform less and expect more from you. Oh, this is true right now to the point where, well yeah, those are your digits in there, and yeah, you have an account with us, but we don't take cash. Are you a bank? Yeah, okay, I want to pay a bill with cash. Well, you can't do that. Saying that as a bank, you can't take money now? In reality, yes. That is the thing about the whole process is, the individual has all the responsibility laid upon them for virtually every blame, none of the benefit. No whatsoever. Even good service. No good service. No, you know, the operational, you know, technology is not performing well. We, for either intent or accident, this area, we have power outages and we have had power outages all summer about every, in fact, if not every day for three to five days in a row. At least every other day. And any and every hour of the day. Three o'clock in the morning, I've been awake at three o'clock in the morning, power goes out. Apparently working, we're in the program, and we're from the morning to the afternoon hours. Yeah, welcome to Mexican-grade utilities. Yeah, they're all yapping about how we go to, you know, here's the problem. We crapped out Iraq's electrical system. We of course devastated how many other countries in the process, but we in this spending to piss in everybody else's pool, our pool isn't looking better and just as bad. It's either intentional or they're hitting the switch without any doubt. Infrastructure is doing this, obviously with too much money. I think they're just deraining the economy so generally that these organizations have no resources left over for their routine operations. Yeah, they spread the two little butter on two big a slice of toast, kind of like from what you said in Lord of the Rings. Two little butter spread over two large pieces. And that there again is debris from the management end, outrageous to fools who are not performing in any way, shape, or form, but the whole mechanism is trickled right down so that the whole system is doing the same thing. Offers us nothing. They've also broken up the tasks into such tiny granularity that nobody has any flexibility. They have to have a code for accepting $14 to put into this account and a different code for accepting $14.01 to put into the same account. So they get to the point where the computers and the bureaucracy is so rigid that people only have a small number of operations that they've memorized and anything outside of the things they do all day, every day, is just shocking and confusing and terrifying to them. They don't know how to handle it. Well, if you think about that, it's kind of like the McDonald's syndrome. You can almost picture it the other end. There's a, you know, a dollar sign. and then a bunch of other picture routines that are basically at fourth grade level. Have you seen how the McDonald's are now set up back in the production area? Yeah, it's exactly the same thing. It's like, oh, we don't know how to hold the mustard. There isn't a button for hold the mustard. Therefore, we can't do it. And not only that, but it's all these big, massive block images, material. This is a flippin' burger place. Am I saying flippin' burger? I mean literally a flippin' burger place, guys. That's what really gets me about this, is remember this is where you used to go to get a pickup job. So you could buy some gas, you could drive around in circles and go take a girl out for a date or go watch a movie or whatever. And what we warned everybody about with NAFTA and GATT is what exactly it's become because of the lack of production the exhaustion of our production facilities and sending them out of the country where all of these jobs raise the minimum wage you make why you know kind of left in the country at least in the always somehow gonna cause these sorry excuses to become illiterate well the thing about it is too is that you're looking at two people going in and buy a couple of hamburgers a couple of fries and a real again watered down you know so you're looking at seven demonstrate what we've warned everybody about with regards to devaluation of currency. You know because we 70's, two dollars it gets the hamburgers, couple things of fries, a fish burger and... The Arches were built on 15 cent hamburgers. Yeah exactly. I used to run on Fridays. It was the big thing on Friday. We'd have McDonald's. I'd get on the bike, take two dollars with me, buy everything we needed for four people. The bank has done exactly the same thing. They've got it down to the point where the personnel don't know how to do any job. It's like changing some of these people when the power was burping here, going to the banks, they keep looking at the calculator because they want to use the calculator for three numbers. One on top of the other. None of them are over the calculator and the calculator's off. And the calculator's off. Now why they couldn't find little handheld battery card one. Of course, they probably felt they didn't need it, whatever. But more, no more than 20 seconds to add up three simple, you know, like four-digit checks and boom, boom, boom. A pencil and paper is an arcane art that's taught once in school as an exercise in history and never to be used again, right? Well, this gets back to those old sci-fi pieces we used to read, like the short stories from Amazing Magazine and Galaxy, you know, like the guy was transported into the future and everybody's, you know, all of a sudden something breaks down and everybody's standing there with a stupid look on their face and he steps to the front of the line, he hits two switches and turns a knob and everything starts to work again and everybody freezes and looks at him and they say, how did you do that? It's right here in the front of the machine, laughing his head. They impressed the heck out of the Eloi. Yeah, and then scared the hell out of the government. That came for him because they math and actually, you know, could read pictures and images and Crayola, you know, Crayola prints and stuff like that. And so the guy was, of course, initially, Everybody was talking about him and word spread that he was a genius when in reality like you said he goes, hey, transported to the future. I remember reading one of those short stories and culminated with the evil people saying, wow, this is so cool. We could actually have human guided missiles. Is that even in the mask? Not just one part of the industry, but this is one part of any industry. It's a whole other system. Also, let's about this it's kind of like the discussion about how many people can barely handle a wrench anymore and or handle a screwdriver and it was something capable of the blue it's like you do realize like the average person can't handle any technology and this mechanical technology uh one of the guys was talking about you run the bolt through the pipe run it through the other pipe put a washer on turn the nut and it's assembled right that's it figured down the road well you're joking right Yeah, listen to people complaining about assembling IKEA furniture. You know, the instructions are right there. It's a picture. It's not that hard. Yeah. Oh, it's a bolt. Getting into the whole thing about the grade of the other side. Most of the other side's minions are like one step away from potatoes. Barring whatever it is that they've got in the way of their niche, you know, for whatever you might call it in the way of a tap. in life because I don't know if it's a job or not. Yeah, you've got to assume that some of their henchmen are competent, but there's a pyramid, a hierarchy. You know, each step down is more personnel and you have to wonder how high the incompetence goes, which also suggests that, you know, it may be that the bulk of their cannon fodder is barely able to get his pants on forward. Exactly. And that's the problem that they have that we really, again, we've got the thinkers, they've got the stinkers. We just need to stay focused. From our end, guys, this is what we've talked about, setting up our own economy, setting up our own money system. The other side, if the other side immediately ready with a salute, in and of itself, this virtually would destroy the underpinnings of whatever crisis they're trying desperately to push. It would not be that hard because with a vacuum and with people looking for a solution, fastest, firstest wins. Part of the plan is to saddle us with millions of useless mouths that we're going to try to feed out of pocket. That gets back to one of my points. And before the shovel comes in, guess what? You will be doing something. I deserve it. No, no you don't. Guess how it works. See that shovel? Well, what were you doing for a living? Well, I was doing very important work. I was...blblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl I was just never useful. See, this and that. I was responsible for the plan for something like, okay, yeah, did you grow any tomatoes? Well, no. Okay, well, here you can go to work over this part of the garden and in six months maybe you'll have something to eat. Here's your shovel. Like I said, this is how it's going to work. Here's your shovel. Well, you know, this is one of the points I've made in the past. We're not going to be able to feed all these people. It would be a mistake for us to try, get used to the notion right now that we can't save them all, even if they are imbecile innocents. A lot of those imbecile innocents are going to perish and it's not by our hands, we just can't do anything about it. We need to prioritize in order to save some people. you know, if you can feed 10 people or distribute the same food among 1000 and it lasts one day, you haven't accomplished anything for anybody if you people it all away by handing it out to 1000 instead of saving 10. So, you know, get used to that idea now. And we are way over the top and I don't know where Ed is. Oh my goodness, yes we are. Ed, we have to come.
