OCCUPY WALL STREET – "V FOR VENDETTA" FOR REAL?

Grinning Planet Introduction

V for Vendetta image The rise tides of right-wingers have promoted the meme that welfare recipients are parasites on the economy. For people who are chronically on welfare, perhaps there is some truth in that. But in terms of dollars, the biggest parasites in the world are the people who make their living "investing," especially in a financial world that has devolved into a corruptagon run by the elites and their bankster minions. So along comes the Occupy Wall Street movement. Will it have any real impact? We offer a few relevant clips. (If you don't get the V for Vendetta reference, we highly recommend that movie.)

Charles Eisenstein:  The Failure of Money—The End of the World or an Opportunity to Reorganize? — 05 Oct 2011 — Charles Eisenstein discusses his new book Sacred Economics, which explains how to save the useful concept of money from the vagaries of human constructs. Charles explains how a negative-interest currency would promote a healthy monetary paradigm and how equity and ecology could be integrated to end the perverse incentives of the current monetary order. Perhaps the "failure of money" won't be the end of the world but rather an opportunity to reorganize.

Long-Term Unemployment's Strain On The Job Search — 07 Oct 2011 —  (GP comment:  This story is so bad—inept reporting or propaganda, you make the call—that I had to include it for demonstration purposes. NPR first offers the grossly understated U-3 unemployment number as "the" unemployment number, and then immediately start talking about people who have been unemployed for three years or more—without mentioning that those people are not even counted in the unemployment number just given. Wow.)

GRINNING PLANET COMMENT:  This is a typically shallow analysis by NPR, but the story is important for several reasons: (1) It puts the lie to the assertion that the US health care system is superior. It is a profit-care system first, a health-care system second. (2) A pharmaceutical shortage of common elements like calcium and selenium is somewhat unbelievable and suggests that the program by The Powers That Be to weed out "the useless eaters" (their phrase, not mine) has begun. (3) From a less conspiratorial angle, as the fossil-fueled lifestyle bonanza of the last century begins to fail, all that is unsustainable will fail too, including extraordinary medical care.

Nuclear Regulation—Failed or Captured? — 02 Oct 2011 — The Fukushima accident, rather than being an isolated disaster caused by faulty plant design, bad maintenance, or a lax Japanese system, is an event that has direct parallels in other nuclear countries. Corruption and lax regulatory oversight can be found in the US too.

Why isn't the industry designing nuclear plants to withstand the worst natural events? Why aren't nuclear regulators, governments, and citizens who live and work near a nuclear plant prepared for a nuclear accident? How much does the NRC value human life?

Awakening To Conscious Co-Creation

Neil Kramer:  Dissolving the Shadow, Walking the Scared Path — 28 Sep 2011 — Why is it that so many people are willfully uninterested in pursing the true nature of reality? How is it that so many people are lost in "The Construct"—the artificial reality that is offered to all and that is (almost) universally accepted. Is reality as we perceive it merely an educational tool, a mirror for us to look in to understand how unbalanced things get when we unplug from true reality? How can we resolve the shadow darkness created by our avoidance of truth?

The Reasons Remote Viewer Ed Dames Is Gloomy About the Future — 06 Oct 2011 — Remote viewing expert Ed Dames says his remote viewing sessions suggest the following scenarios will occur at some point over the next few years: a series of "solar kill shots" will make life on modern earth very difficult; a global economic collapse will be associated with a global pandemic; and unemployment in the destitute US will be 40%, with martial law imposed. On the brighter side, he does not think there will be a planet-melting nuclear war, and there are safe zones that will be less affected by the solar storms.
