US Presidential elections 2016 (small)

USA is the world's de facto bank and policeman and its president and politics have world-wide influence. USA citizens face a very difficult choice in electing their politicians and their president who make and execute laws that affect the entire world. Their choices in electing their president are limited to the candidates of the left wing liberal democratic party, the right wing conservative republican party, and the alternative libertarian and green parties. Many vote for a particular candidate with campaign promises that fit their hopes and expectations. Only the candidates of the democrats and the republicans have a chance of being elected. The candidates representing these two main parties are greatly disliked, distrusted, and feared even by supporters of the political par- ties they represent. Many will vote for what they consider the “lesser of two evils” to try to prevent the other from being elected.

Many regard Hillary Clinton, who represents the democrats, as a typical politician who cannot be trusted. She is largely blamed for the past and continuing hawkish foreign and financial policies of the USA which is largely the cause of the current sad state the world finds itself in. She is a globalist with aims of controlling and regulating everything with the bureaucracy of big government in the name of protecting the people, but in effect is serving the interests of the corporate elite. Many think that she is part of the problem while pretending to be part of the solution.

Many regard Donald Trump, who represents the republicans, as a typical business man with too many self-serving interests to fight for the welfare of other people. Many regard him as unqualified to be president of USA. His open honesty is seen as provocative arrogance that many take as racist and too nationalistic in this global multi-cultural world where political correctness is seen to be a necessary protocol that must be followed.

Trump is openly a con artist and he is proud of it. Hillary is just as good of a con artist as Trump is, but she denies it. A con artist like Trump is like a used car salesman who uses emotional arguments to con for short term and small gains. He is crude and easy to spot. A con artist like Hillary is like a banker who uses rational and logical arguments to con for long term and large gains. She is sophisticated and is hard to spot.

More and more Americans are disillusioned by their dysfunctional government. They believe that it does not really matter who wins and many will not vote. Although there is no chance of alternate party candidates winning and becoming president, voting for them is a voice of dissent and a call for change to the platforms of the democrats and republicans parties. It also encourages the growth of the alternative parties so that they become viable in the future. The two candidates representing the alternative parties are Gary Johnson, representing the libertarian party, and Jill Stein, representing the green party. Three issues greatly affect the entire world - the USA economy, the environment, and global trade.

The world's reserve currency is based on the USA dollar. The USA central bank is unsustainable as it has a policy of continuously printing money and raising the public debt without any limits. This only benefits the short term goals of multi-national corporations at the expense of long term benefits of common peoples, especially future generations. Hillary Clinton supports and is supported by big businesses and her social platform requires the debt based policies of the USA central bank. Donald Trump, in the name of freedom, is reluctant to interfere with USA central banking policies other than to advocate for its audit which Jill Stein also supports. Gary Johnson is the only candidate who is promoting to end the free hand that the USA independent central bank enjoys.

The world's environment is polluted and greatly strained by ever increasing consumerism. Too many gadgets taking too much energy to make and run are being consumed, especially in the USA. Multinational corporations that serve USA consumers must sacrifice some of their profits and become more environmentally friendly, before the environment becomes unsustainable to support human life. Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein are strong supporters of laws to protect the environment for our children while Donald Trump and Gary Johnson are, in the name of freedom for profits, strong opponents of such laws.

Increasing globalization and the corresponding free trade agreements benefit multi-national corporations at the expense of common people who would be better served by fair trade agreements. Hillary Clinton and Gary Johnson support free trade to give big businesses the freedom to grow bigger. Donald Trump and Jill Stein oppose free trade be- cause it encourages multi-national corporations to manufacture their products in foreign countries with cheap labor and less stringent environmental protection laws just to ship them back across the globe to the USA to sell them at a higher profit.

In the end, regardless of whoever becomes president, these three vital issues, finance, environment and globalization, can be voted on by all the people globally just by simply voting with their wallets.

Families and societies (small)

Families

The fundamental building blocks of societies are families. It is no wonder that more and more dysfunctional families results in dysfunctional societies.

A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict behavior, child neglect and abuse occur continually and regularly. Children grow up in such families with the understanding that such an arrangement is normal. Dysfunctional families are primarily a result of parents affected by addictions, untreated mental illness, or hopeless poverty. Parents of dysfunctional families were more than likely children of dysfunctional families.

With modern transportation, communication and globalization, our world has shrunk to become a global village, made up of rich and poor dysfunctional families which represent nations. The town center, filled with shops, represent multinational corporations. On the outskirts are industrial parks manufacturing inexpensive and largely useless and unhealthy consumer products made from stolen raw materials, using cheap labor and designed with built-in obsolescence so that they have to be replaced regularly. The rich neighborhood is near the center and close to the stores, while the ghetto isolates the rich neighborhood from the slums on the outskirts of town, far away from the stores and close to the factories that exploit them.

While the families represent nations, dads represent governments making and enforcing the rules. Moms represent churches pretending to care for their neglected and abused children who represent the citizens. The families, both rich and poor, are dysfunctional. Dads from rich families are dysfunctional as they are addicts of consumer goods. Their drug dealers represent the central banks and their banksters. The drugs they peddle are the fiat currencies that are produced without limits in the name of quantitative easing, to help keep the addicted dads content. Dads from the poor families are also dysfunctional, as they are numbed with legal drugs, exploited to a state of hopelessness, and just do not know any better.

If families become less dysfunctional by having responsible and loving fathers and mothers, societies will automatically become less dysfunctional.


Societies

The human species are at present facing problems that threaten its very survival. By tinkering with nature and having weapons of mass destruction, we are dangerously close to making our world uninhabitable for humans. Jesus was correct 2000 years ago to claim that the only hope for our survival as a human species is to love nature and to love our fellow human beings. If we loved our enemies, we wouldn`t have any.

Why has society fallen into such a deep hole? We tend to drift towards extremes to boost our egos forgetting that the extremes only define the boundaries to the golden middle. We are too easily brainwashed with fear and are too easily addicted to whatever provides short term gratification - like money and sex. We are basically selfish and mislead ourselves into believing that we know more than we do and that we are smarter than what we really are. We are basically too greedy and too easily corrupted by power. We are too easily misled by others to believe whatever they want us to believe.

Believing there is no god makes us arrogant and ignorant and without any purpose. Many believe instead that science with its technology is the salvation of mankind. Scientists are too specialized to appreciate and understand anything other than their own narrow field of interest. They are paid to study and prove whatever they are funded to find. Engineers produce products and gadgets for the profits of investors instead of for the benefits of the public.

We spend far too much of our time with gadgets chatting with virtual friends on the internet and far too little time with people in our neighborhood nurturing friends. We prefer to experiment with the passive virtual reality of TV for our entertainment instead of to experience the hard realities of life for our education.

Most believe in the value of public education provided freely by governments. In truth, nothing given by any government is free. Public education is indoctrination to make citizens easier to influence and manipulate by making them unwilling and unable to think for themselves and to question authority. Starting at an early age with kindergartens, children are removed from the tutelage and sanctity of families and cultivated under a program of brainwashing called education where they are programmed and trained to be obedient and skilled adult workers supporting consumerism by producing and buying worthless and often harmful products.

We believe that multiculturalism is beneficial. We fail to realize that when people of many different cultures integrate in a society, then eventually either one culture overtakes all the others, or everyone blends into a new culture and all find themselves uprooted.

We believe that collectivism for the good of all is better than individualism. We feel safer being in a crowd. Our inherent character is to be like sheep ready to follow the largest crowds and to sacrifice our lives and kill others for the loudest leaders. The loudest leaders are usually corrupt and greedy and are also usually the most nationalistic with the strongest ideology and cause most of the wars. The wars in the end benefit only the leaders and the secret few in the background who shun any limelight controlling the supply of money, weapons and raw materials used to rebuild the destruction of wars. We believe that our security is more important than our freedom and do not realize that when we surrender our freedom for security, we eventually end up losing both.

We believe in “the bigger the better”. We fail to realize that the bigger you are, the harder you fall. We think that in this ever shrinking world we find ourselves in, globalization and centralization reaps benefits of efficiency. We like to put all our eggs in one basket, not realizing that we risk losing all our eggs. We hospitalize our patients in huge facilities in the name of efficiency and are surprised that many leave with new diseases they have picked up during their stay.

We crowd people in hermetically sealed high rises and are surprised that we no longer know our neighbors. We grow crops in vast mono-culture fields that deplete the soil so that it needs to be chemically fertilized. We raise animals in vast industrialized facilities that are so over crowded that they need to be constantly fed stronger antibiotics against bacteria that develop resistance and grow stronger with time.

We rape nature and divert rivers to feed our ever hungry machines instead of feeding people and watering crops. We allow corporations and banks to grow so big and corrupt that they become too big to fail and jail and they become so powerful and rich that they leave behind the vast majority of people powerless, poor and dependent without any hope of being able to improve their lives. We believe in “the faster the better” preferring instant fast foods and eating on the go instead of nutritious meals at home that take time to prepare. We prefer quick fixes and short term gains despite the resulting long term pains we end up with.

We believe that as long as we have a vote, we have democracy and that democracy makes us free. We fail to realize that voters elect politicians for their promises only one day in 5 years. Politicians are influence by lobbyists and are bribed by corporations to represent their interests instead of the interests of the voters. We naively trust central banks to issue and manipulate currencies in order to stabilize prices. We fail to realize that with globalization, all of the various national currencies are tied to the US dollar which is controlled by private greedy international speculators with selfish interests in making short term profits for themselves. The debased fiat dollars they print without any limits are no longer backed by gold held in vaults but instead based on baseless promises.

We judge people and things much more by their outward appearance than by their inner content. We believe that money makes us happy and gives us freedom. That might be true for the very few very rich, but definitely not true for the vast majority. We fail to realize that money is very addictive and the more money we have the more money we want and need. It is so addictive that we become enslaved by needing to consume worthless and often harmful products like drug addicts need to consume their drugs. We believe that the more money our family has, the better off it is.

So we sacrifice our “parents stay at home” families to have “2 parent working” families that end up to become “nobody at home all day” families also known as “latchkey children” families that tend to become ”single emancipated mom” families and end up to become dysfunctional families. Having too many dysfunctional families in our societies causes societies to become dysfunctional.

We believe that men and women are all created equal. That might be true in in the eyes of god in heaven, but definitely not true here on earth. Men have always used their physical strength to subjugate women.

Men, the providers and defenders of their families, proudly provide sperm, houses, food, and flowers to their women who humbly turn them into babies, homes, meals and love.

Technology (small)

Technology has great promise of making our lives into a paradise. Computer technology has been seen to double in power for the same price every 18 months. Services in software become practically free.

Technology's promise of a prosperous middle-class life with decent work, rising living standards, and the potential for a better future has long been the foundation of the middle class dream.

Nuclear power promised to bring electricity too cheap to meter, but electricity bills have never been higher. 


The green revolution promised to bring an endlessly bountiful harvest, making hunger a thing of the past, but food shortages continue along with price increases. 

The gene revolution with their genetically modified seeds, claimed many brave new promises, but are proving to be only advantageous to the big industrial farms. They put the entire world's food production capabilities into the greedy hands of the companies that have monopolistic aims and goals to have total control of the seed supplies.

Communication innovations promised to replace much of the paper and business travel requirements, but they have increased. They not only caused a strain in global oil-production capacities, but also increases to air pollution and drove energy prices to all-time highs. 

Globalization and free trade policies promised to make world trade fairer and more just. But the leveling of the so called “playing field” just ended up denying the poorer players the necessary handicap point advantages they need to compete.

The military-industrial complex along with the banking cartels controlled by the few dozen psychopaths, our slave drivers, have robbed all of us blind.



In the USA, between 1940 and 1970, productivity and wages increased almost 100%, both doubling in those 30 years. After that, productivity increased by 80% largely due to technological innovations, while wages only increased by 10%.

The reason for that was greedy and short term thinking by corporations. Before that, corporations supported their workers for their entire lives. It was believed that the drivers to job production were consumers buying products their entire lives.

Short term greedy thinking took over and workers were laid off in times of slow growth. In the name of “power to the people” corporations abandoned managing pension funds, allowing the workers to manage their own.

Politicians started to believe that the drivers to job production were the corporations, and not the consumers, and the burden of taxation shifted from the corporations to the people.

After 1980, a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite began. Laws were changed allowing banks to set variable interest rates for mortgages, and anyone and everyone was encouraged to borrow, whether they could afford to or not.

Short term thinking banksters encouraged long term debt.

Debt financed consumption with credit cards were made too easily available.

Useless consumer items with built in obsolescence flooded the markets and addicted the gullible people with products that were often harmful to their health. People started to be faced with additional medical expenses to the delight of the growing pharmaceutical industries.

Unemployment rose and wages stagnated while cost of transportation, housing and healthcare increased.

Price of many consumer items dropped due to technological advances and because third world countries producing these cheap consumer products were robbed of their raw natural resources and

the people including children were forced to work for slave labor wages.



Many consumer items such as cars, printers and mobile phones were made artificially low as using these products was very expensive and profitable.

Gas stations made great profits each time gas tanks were filled.

Garages made great profits each time cars needed fixing and maintenance.

Hotels made great profit accommodating the mobile drivers and their families.

Ink cartridge producers and telephone operators made great profits each time people used their printers and mobile phones.

The mostly useless consumer products that people were becoming addicted to were extravagantly packaged in extra-large paper boxes.



Printed words mostly left unread and colorful propaganda between the lines were packaged in thick newspapers and glossy magazines.

It made paper producers very rich and

forests very poor.



Transportation providers made great profits in shipping and flying tourists to the other side of the world so that they could swim on beaches, eat at McDonalds, dance in Discos and sleep in hotels thousands of kilometers away from their homes instead of close to where they lived.

The new technologies made many cheap products so inexpensive that

despite money being debased and cheapened, the impoverished people could still afford to buy them.

The new technologies made many foods so cheap and impoverished from nutrients, that despite money being debased and cheapened, the undernourished overweight people could still afford to eat and get fattened like pigs from them.

Hyperinflation that was the result of overprinting of money in the past was kept to tolerable levels due to the low manufacturing costs

made possible by technology, the exploitation of third world countries and their people, and

by raping the land and the environment.

New technologies were developed not only to be used in peaceful times, but also during wars.

The rich got richer by destroying infrastructure with expensive weapons they sold, and by rebuilding the infrastructure they destroyed. Wars forced people to sacrifice in ways never expected in peace. The sweet hope that technology promised to make people's life a paradise turned sour.

It was stolen from the people and hijacked by the psychopaths, the few dozen slave drivers.



Instead, the technology made the life of the people a bitter living hell.
