The Rolling Stone definitely Rocks!

Odd, is it not, that the Rolling Stone, home to interviews, reviews, and news about the world of Rock and Roll, is the publication that hosts financial researcher and writer Matt Taibbi?

Matt, ever since the financial crisis of 2008, has been doing his homework and telling it like it is.  I have to giggle when I read analysis by people in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or even Business Investor Daily.  In comparison, they are, well, just silly shills for the establishment.  The truly horrifying thing about this is, most of them don't even KNOW that!

How could this be?  Well, I think of us normal humans sort being sort of like the fly on the arm of the man sitting in his row boat.  He doesn't know where he is, or what a man, row boat, or even planet is.  He just landed there for a bit, before he's devoured by a bird, or dying a natural death while feasting on cow dung in a pasture in which he unwittingly finds himself.

Not that we're insects.  That's missing my point.  We are truly magnificent, and next to none in the 3D world, as far as our capacity for all things good...love, abundance, creativity and bliss!  If those things weren't somehow in us already, though dormant in many cases, we would never aspire to them in the first place.

So the question must remain, how could these "educated" analysts be so stupid as to unwittingly lead us all into the jaws of a financial catastrophe that has and will continue to hurt so many people, who, a short time ago, were among the most prosperous people in the world?

Well, that's a complex question.  How?  Again, the fly on the arm of the man, or...try explaining what water is to a fish.

We live in a world where money is foundational to everyone's life.  However, there is a tiny elite group of families (Jim Sinclair, born into the Seligman family...so he knows...says they are sociopaths who beget sociopaths) who not only operate this system, but who created it to begin with.

Now, most of you will insiste that I, and people like me, are tin foil hat types, given to "conspiracy theories."  And so, you will not read me, and you will not read Matt Taibbi.  Well, fair enough.  But let me warn you, that avoidance CAN hurt you.  Indeed, it's one of the things that hurts us most.  

If I were you, right now, I would look for every bit of alternative (non-mainstream corporately owned) news on the economy and the financial system I could find.  There is, currently, a big sturggle going on behind the scenes.  

Do you think the money guys have a lot of options open to them when they start doing things like taking peoples' deposits to cover the banks's ass, as in Cyprus?Do you think they have a lot of options when they crash the price of gold and silver through the paper Comex market....only to set off a stampede in physical buying of precious metals world wide?  They consider gold and silver to be MONEY, and they've been busy little bees since 1971, when Nixon took the US off the gold standard...trying to get you to disregard what they consider to be the only true money on the planet.

Why would they do this?  Because they're sociopaths, and they don't like you...nor do they want you to be prosperous, free, happy, or anything else that would naturally occur in your life, were you not being led by the nose by a pretty, pretty sophisticated system to keep you dumb enough to trade your life for their funny paper money.

Ok...that's a mouthful.  I only put myself out this far on a limb when I'm pretty sure the ship really is going down.  I don't like being wrong.  It's an ego thing, but within the range of normal.  Sociopaths, however, can't tolerate being wrong, and will do everything...even really, really bad things, to make sure they maintain their status as the masters, and yours as the slaves.

So, here's Matt Taibbi's latest.  Enjoy.
