Let's just say all the theories and conspiracies are true. Let's say we find out without a shadow of a doubt all individuals involved in major crimes against their own countrymen. At that very moment what do you do? What do you say? What is the proper way of handling these situations? How do you wrong atrocities? Is it our place or God's? Will God use us as tools to right these wrongs or is this really the times of Revelations where he is destined to come down here himself and end it all?
History has shown us that wars of revolution had taken place in times of corruption to overthrow established systems. Just the same way history has shown us times of peaceful change through the spread of love for freedom and humanity. There is obviously always the yin to the yang, leaving no set in stone one way of handling these types of dilemmas. My question is when they show you the truth and everyone fails to or chooses not to see it, leaving those in the know in the minority, how do we even properly address these issues?
That is the very question, whose answer seems to elude us the most. If it is almost impossible to open the dialogue on these issues on at least a national level as concerned citizens how will we ever find the truth? It's almost as if it's taboo to even speak of these so-called conspiracy theories being real. Does having a one-sided, narrow minded view mean you are informed or is it simply accepting information being given as simply true?
We have two sides to every story and some where in the middle generally lies the truth. On one hand we have die hard right wingers who believe every official story and statement to come out of Washington or mainstream media and reject everything else. On another we have a liberal faction who allow their concerns to be swept under the rug time and time again, simply written off as crazy conspiracy theorists. Within even both of these sides there is a divide.
On the right you have those who really don't believe factions embedded in our government are smart enough to carry out such plots. The right is also more inclined to label you unpatriotic for remotely even questioning their personal favorites political stances and by far are the more narrow minded of the two. On the left you have those who are not so much concerned with these issues and write them off saying wild things like, their gonna do what they want to anyway. Now with 4 factions equally divided amongst 2 sides how do you as a people successfully address any topic of discussion? How do you do it when factions of the same side don't agree long enough to achieve a proper census? How do you do it when the 2 different sides have such a low level respect for eachother's viewpoints dismissing each other before anyone speaks?
What implications does this pose to our future? What types of hardship would be posed on our children for failing to address these issues effectively? How long will we as United States citizens allow forums on these issues to be deemed unpatriotic? How long will we as United States citizens allow a lack of communication to shade the truth? When will any of us accept a responsibility greater than ourselves? My last question of the day is will we ever and if we do at that point what do we do?

What happened to unconditional love?
I've been in a recent situation that has really made me want to ask the question where has the love gone? We seem so in compassionate as a society towards strangers, neighbors and family members alike. Expressing such callous views toward the impoverished majority in favor of the well off minority. Almost in hopes of gaining favor in accordance with the rich's wishes. We will right off our own mother nowadays if the government will hold her against us. What is going on people? Wake up, take your rights back, establish a platform, strive for greater. I just don't understand.
People have been complaining about the problems for years. Pointing out the symptoms, failing to provide a cure. In the meantime our citizens whether directly related or not fall victim to a regurgitating system of reciprocal enslavement. Our loved ones sit by the wayside and allow for a lack of justice writing you off before the judge or a jury can remotely get a chance. In the times that we need our loved ones the most they almost always seemingly fall by the wayside. Once again I ask what has ever happened to unconditional love?
We struggle to maintain against so much daily stress. We need as many people as possible on our side. However it seems as if when our loved ones get under our skin now it is so easy to write them off, when in fact those will be the only ones there for us in times of our own turmoil. Even in the event they are not, in which in most cases they do not owe you anyway, the whole idea is to stand our own two! Help our family in the time of need. Naturally you can not help anyone until you help yourself. So make sure you do not over extend yourself in your good deeds, yet create good deeds daily with the love you provide your associates and family.
Not only will your life seem clearer, it will also seem happier. Many of the relationships we right off are not worth the long term headache. Granted if these are people we don't ever have to deal with again it is a totally different story. But when it comes to dealing with lived ones and touching situations which are rare and obtrusive to that individual's growth it is incumbent upon us to deliver that support that person needs to overcome that hurdle. Especially in cases of public judgment, family and friends are so quick to write you off in prayers of keeping their hands clean they often overlook the circumstances of the incident. They provide themselves with excuses on why they shouldn't support you versus finding reasons they should.
Naturally if someone is a habitual offender then obviously they made their choice. But when it comes down to loved ones you have had a small quarrel with, is it really worth it to exercise the dramatics? Life is too short to not honor those you love and will also fall into the judgment we will all have to answer for in the end. It's hard to feel you have put a dent into any charitable causes unless they extend outside your family, so stay strong and never stop showing that unconditional love that so many may not deserve, yet may need in our struggles to associate with an ever evolving society. Have faith in your people even when they don't have faith in themselves. They may not turn into who you want them to when you want but they will definitely stand a better chance with you than the court system.

Our previous generation let us down!
There was a struggle that people seemed to forget about. I don't know why but nonetheless it seems as if they have. There is a struggle for freedom that never seemed to come into fruition. Struggle that seemed to fizzle out half way through the fuse. People were struggling for equality, struggling for injustice and all of a sudden found a brick wall they always knew was there and for some reason ran against it not expecting it to hit back or understanding which angle its blows are coming from.
It really disappoints me that people act as if everything is okay, especially now since we have a black president. If anything in my neck of the woods the harassment has stepped up since Obama has taken office. In the inner-community it's nothing new we have been undergoing this type of degradation for centuries. The difference is now that the structure of the black household has disintegrated and not only that of that the black household but the overall structure of the dream America saw for itself in it's horizon.
So many have died for our cause. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, Jewish, African, Middle Eastern, Pacific Islanders the cause is the same: FREEDOM
The call is universal through all breeds, ghettos, suburbs, and social unions. The main fear and the only thing keeping us free in the incalculable ways we may react to situations at a given time against the variable. Essentially there are equations that have been broken down through collected data during the industrial and technological ages that has been accumulated to categorized situational outcomes, resulting in economic manipulation and collapse in some cases.
In terms of our previous generation letting us down they forgot the fight must go on. Drugs, poverty, famine, sickness, and violence has plagued our community since the CIA has planted guns and drugs in our communities. Not necessarily all of our communities but more so the impoverished inner-city communities where the rise of any type movement may seem like a threat to the established political environment. In knowing this people seem to shy away from addressing a multitude of problems ranging from a double-sided drug war to internal self-destructive propaganda and false opposition.
For generations our mothers and fathers have been telling us to go to school, graduate with good grades so you can go to a good college and when you get there get good grades so you can graduate and get a good job. One I don't know what made them think job opportunities would be infinite. Or for that matter expansion and growth would be so great. However they failed us when they disillusioned us into a false sense of security in addition to not picking up the torch so many before us had passed on indirectly by which means God directed.
This country was founded on entrepreneurial ism and small business frustrated with the factions of Imperialism infested in the lands they immigrated from to establish their own hierarchy free of the discrimination's of their former lands. A once in a lifetime opportunity to establish a republic free of all the nightmares created previously.
Somewhere along the way the message was distorted from creating your own niche and following your God given talent to attempting to find any job you can in a rat race competing against people willing to work for well below the average the occupation you were accustomed to generally pays and without benefits. How do you compete with that?
Our previous generation let us down in the sense that in the time period they were getting high and loving life they were not properly forecasting the future that lay ahead of us. Leaving us in a state of disarray, confused and feeling like we are constantly fighting an uphill battle. As previous generations have come and went respectively they also have carried a battle that in the early 70's seemed to disintegrate in the midst of drugs and violence, chaos and misunderstanding. All of this seemingly as a result of a tumultuous 60's intertwined with corruption, revolution, war, greed, assassinations, and agendas. John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Robert F. Kennedy, defamation of the Black Panther Party including the Bobby Hutton assassination 2 days before the Martin Luther King assassination, fall of the Nation of Islam, along with the discrediting of countless others.
The mindset from the start for our children should be to go to school get good grades, graduate and find your passion and passionately work toward that. When you work toward your passion at that point it's just a matter of using that passion to generate income to sustain yourself and your livelihood. The fact that not only do we depend on corporations to offer us jobs now, but the fact that credit has stifled, virtually making the dollar irrelevant and lending crippled brings us back to the unstable reality of engineering new streams of revenue.
During the 60's it seems like everybody fought for everything, even the peaceful fought for a cause. Nowadays you will be lucky to find anyone capable of holding a 5 minute conversation let alone an intelligent thought. No disrespect to those that think, however those that think may feel the same sentiments. It seems as if those that think make the public uncomfortable initiating thought outside of their personal dilemma at any given time. It may effect me in the future but it's not right now and may not syndrome. As a result our previous generation has fallen victim of an oppressive legislature, failing to inform us of its everlasting conundrums.
This is a time if any that we all need to become more independent and find our own trade of value that may be traded versus exclusively compensated for. History has shown us time and time again the value of paper not backed by any natural asset proves worthless, eventually bankrupting in the end. Our dollar has not been backed by gold or silver since the 1933 with inflation of population maintaining almost a steady 3% annual growth since, all generating revenue toward a worthless piece of paper that in the end will leave us all homeless. Let's say we didn't forget our entrepreneurial spirit and relied solely on massing our own sources of income and well being. What would be the result?

Now is a good time to become self-employed!
What time is better than now when everything around us is falling apart, job security is a thing of the past and paychecks just don't seem to stretch as far? People let's not forget that this country was founded by it's entrepreneurs and small business owners. Take a little time to think about where your passions truly lie and brainstorm ways of making money with these passions. You may discover hidden talent you never knew you possessed or refurbish old ones, sparking the flame you need to get started on your way to lucrative self-employment as well as create your own job security in the process.
A wise person once told me if you follow your passions you will not have to worry about money. It's definitely easier said then done in the realities of adult life. Which is one reason it is of course good to start young. However for those of us that are in the here in now of adulthood we must use this down time now to prepare a better future for ourselves and our families. Let's not worry so much about the perils of the unknown when in fact that is what we step into every time we step foot into another's office. We are on their playing ground and expendable at any time. I don't know about you but that is not a comfortable way to live. Most of us feel we can run the show better anyhow so let's use this time to prove it to ourselves, secure our own employment and create our own sustainable lifestyle.

Responsibility is a Two- way Street.
Recently we have been hearing a lot of jargon in relation to us as consumers having a lack of restraint in creating our recent credit crisis. while there has been comment made of the irresponsibility of the lenders involvement as well. What's ironic is that when any fault is mentioned in reference to lenders, it some how seems to be reported as still essentially the fault of the consumer by purchasing more then they could afford and taking advantage of stated loans the basically were being pushed upon them in the first place.
As a topic of our last set of Presidential debates Sen. John McCain's viewpoint was there should be no aid for people's irresponsible spending, people that owned more than one home attempting to get on the market. Which also proved to be one of his losing points in the debates as his focus was consumer based versus lender based. Also failing to mention the lack of oversight of such industries.
People who are upset with a neighbor and others for attempting to purchase a house they could not afford ought to be ashamed of themselves. None of you have any position to speak on this issue in this manner as you are being extremely judgmental having no idea what circumstances led to these people being placed in these positions. Life is life and we all experience highs & lows, mountains & valleys. You never know they may of had a death of a loved one, significant other, illness of a child. They themselves could have been injured and if anyone is aware of disability it will hardly cover gas on a paid car let alone mortgage. they could possibly have had any number of situations that led them to be in pretty precarious situations. So broadly judging these peoples situations and promoting not to help these people is the opposite of what this economy needs which is stimulus in the hands of the people. What else is ironic that the way our current economic plan is being handled many of the very people who made such complaints may be inflicted with a personal crisis of their own directly or indirectly caused by the economy and will be looking for help wherever they could get it from.
Take my own mother for example it would be unfortunate if her neighbors were to possibly look at her in the same way when many of them are feeling the crunch themselves. The initial property value of her home as well as the term of her loan was $160,000. With the housing bubble bursting the value of her home as well as the others in her neighborhood tanked to an abysmal $60,000. She worked for a non-profit nuclear waste facility that simultaneously had to cut funding based on a lack of money being applied to these sectors. Herself and many of her other fellow employees were laid off. With the unemployment rate being so high in her area it has been virtually impossible for her to find work in her field. Naturally all of her bills are the same as if she is still working and of course whomever is also familiar with unemployment you all know you will be lucky to eat after paying a bill or two under that program. 401k is penalized for borrowing against that. Any sudden career change would not help her current situation in saving her home. This is the perfect example of victim of circumstance! Now of course there were temporary fixes, loans that patched the wholes and in the end made matters all the more worse.
There are so many stories similar to this one all over the nation. So this is a time where we need to understand the average consumer not as gluttons but as victims of poor economic judgment by our previous administration, wall street, and bankers alike.
If you were one of the lucky ones in this depression such as my mother's friend who foresaw the market crashing, took equity out of her home before the depreciation hit and thus has been able to apply that money towards surviving these tough times you may not be as greatly affected as the next person. Essentially the same if you were also one of the lucky people to be in an industry that has held reliable in the fall out. However there is a great percentage of us who at this time do not have the luxury of saying such things. So for those of us that see these types things coming it is incumbent upon us to follow the motto of each one teach one and pray for the economic recovery of these individuals, their families and their well being. In addition we need to rally congress for more direct help in solving these matters on a more personal level. To all of us struggling to keep pushing, never quit the fight because nothing stays the same forever, it will get greater later! You just have to believe it, hold your head high and keep moving forward.
