re: ["I keep hearing these "calls to action," but without
a clue as to what action is needed….

So, what is the action that you and Glenn Beck want?

Withdraw cash from our savings accounts?

Will the cash be worth anything in the future?

Do a rain dance?

Bang our heads against the nearest tree?"]

"Me and Glenn Beck"

That sets the tone, now doesn't it.

Gee, I haven't heard that one in a week, or so.

Jim you're not here to find any answers, because you already
know it all. Virtually every single post you’ve ever made here
has been a smart-assed, sarcastic quip ridiculing everything
as conspiracy theory.

For example...

"The good thing about Jesse Ventura these days is that he makes
Giraldo Rivera seem almost normal, Al Capone's "secret vault"
notwithstanding."

And this...

"Wow. With that sort of word view, all history changes.
But now I'm really confused.

Did colonials dress as Brit troops at Bunker Hill, or did the
Brits dress as colonials to start the Revolutionary War?

Was the firing on Ft Sumpter done by the Yankees on their
own fort to start the War of Northern Aggression?

Why would the Army Air Corps paint all those airplanes with a
Rising Sun when they destroyed the ships at Pearl Harbor?

I guess it was really the NAACP that bombed those black
churches in the 60s?

Sure does make it hard to understand what's really going
on in the world now."

======================

And especially this, in response to the use of mercenary
contract killers in Iraq and Afghanistan...

"If all that's true (ahem, ahem), then it would seem the US
Gov't is following Ron Paul's advice during the '08 campaign."

=====================

Jesse Ventura represents Geraldo & Al Capone’s vault…

Alex Jones is fear monger…

Glenn Beck has no specific ”action plan" (what Glenn Beck is
or isn’t, aside), the one thing Beck has done, is to give people
scores of action plans on what to do. And he's hosted multiple
shows on what his viewers are doing on their own, in their
hometowns all over America, where they've done everything
from changing school curriculum, to legislation.

Jim, if you don’t understand what’s going on with the use
of mercenary contract forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
ridicule it as… “if tall that’s true (ahem, ahem)...”
you’re not cute or witty, you're literally an ignorant fool.

Isn't it amazing how those who spend their time watching
and posting about "Survivor," have all the smart assed,
sarcastic answers for everything they don't understand,
and are too damn lazy to pick up a book and learn about?

So now you want to stomp your feet and I'm supposed to drop
everything I'm doing and give you, my undivided attention?

And now you want answers to everything for which you've
already expressed a smart-assed, sarcastic comment about?

Jim, if you've actually read what I've written, then you
would already have your answers. As you also would have
if you had actually read, or listened to the people you've
also made smart-assed, sarcastic remarks about.

But Jim, you and people like you, aren't looking for answers,
or the truth. You're looking for your fellow trolls to rationalize
your apathy and ignorance.

You want Daddy to tell you bedtime stories and to assure you
that everything is going to be alright… so you can continue
your self-centered life filled with reality shows and mindless
trivia.

You aren’t ever going to take action on anything Jim.

You’re going to continue to sit on your fat ass,
plumped down on your Lazy-boy in front of your TV,
washing down your microwave dinners with an ice cold Bud,
while watching Survivor.

You’re not interested in taking action, because if you were,
you would have posted 2-3 pages about what you’ve already
done, and would be asking how you could take it to the next
level, instead of issuing smart-assed quips about banging
your head against a tree.

Jim, how many calls have you actually made to your Congressman
and Senators?

And yes, you can now defend yourself to save face, and post
back about how everything you’ve done was a waste of time,
but we all know that’s BS, because if had done anything,
you would have already told us about it.

How many letters have you written Jim?

How many articles have your printed out, yellow high-lighted,
made notes in the margin on - and sent, or faxed to your
Congressman or Senator – and then followed up with a phone call?

How many vans have you rented, and how many friends, family
members, and co-workers have you driven to Tea Party, or
Town Hall events?

How many copies of CDs, or DVD's have you made and passed
out to friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and strangers?

How many books have you passed on to friends?

You want an action plan Jim? Here's one...

Turn off Survivor and read a damn book.

How many important news stories, or online books that reveal
the history covered up and censored by the mainstream monopoly
press have you posted links to?

How many people standing in line at the grocery store,
or at the bank, have you asked - "so, what do you think
about ________? Be it Obamacare, Cap & Trade, or the bank
bailouts?

...and then shared some facts, handed them a CD, or DVD,
or jotted down the URL of a web site they should visit,
or the headline of an article they should google search?

How many young people have you turned on to the Rolling Stone
articles by Mat Taibbi, regarding the bankster-gangster rip offs?

How many over-65's have you shared those “CBO numbers” with?

How many have you asked about Ben Bernanke's recent comments
about "having to make adjustments to Social Security and
Medicare?"

How many people have you motivated to register to vote, and
to actually show up and vote?

If you can’t rattle of at least 10-12 names then you haven’t
even tried, because 50-70% of America doesn't vote.

How much money have you donated to politicians and political
causes you support?

Have you ever put your money where your mouth is?

Have you ever taken a day off and passed out flyers, or talked
to people about specific issues? Or, are you above all that?

Have you ever volunteered to work for a political campaign?

How many State Senators have you spoken to about state's rights?

Have you ever participated in a petition drive for a cause
you believe in?

Have you started a blog?

How many opinion letters have you submitted to your local newspaper?

Have you ever done anything, other than bitch, whine, and moan?

And political activism aside, as far as what you should do
for your family, and household in preparation for potential
man-made, or natural disasters that may come...

You aren't really interested in any of that either,
because you've already dismissed and ridiculed it all as
"ahem, ahem" - Al Capone's vault - conspiracy nonsense.

And once again, if you were really looking for answers,
you would already have them if you actually read what I’ve
been writing about.

All these people and web sites you’ve ridiculed have scores
of sponsors offering solutions for everything from freeze-
dried foods, to water filtration, to medical supplies, to
off-the-grid, self-sufficient energy solutions.

Jim, a 9 year old turned loose on Google Search would be
instantaneously over-whelmed with information, solutions,
and options regarding all these questions. But as we both
know, you aren’t interested in solutions, you’re interested
in being a sarcastic, know-it-all, smart ass… who wants to
rationalize his ignorance and apathy.

Did you read the online "Ferfal Diaries" I posted here from
the guy who wrote about his family's middle-class nightmare
during the 2001 economic and social collapse in Argentina?

He turned it into a book...

amazon.com

Did you watch the videos and read the articles from
Adrian Salbucci that I posted about the parallels to
what is presently unfolding in America, and the collapse
of Argentina?

Argentina was the 9th wealthiest country when it collapsed
in December 2001 and the collapse virtually happened over-night.

Have you studied the Argentine collapse?

I posted this video on the Argentine collapse more than once,
did you ever watch it?

youtube.com

Ask anyone who suffered through either the Argentine, or
Russian collapse about what they would do politically,
if they ever had a chance to do it all over again?

Ask them what levels they would have been willing to ratchet
things up to - if only they knew it was "going to happen here."

Have you ever even sat down and thought about the possible
natural and/or man made disasters that could impact you
and your family?

Have you even made basic emergency plans, including the
evacuation of your entire family?

If communications were to go out, does your family have
a “meet up” location both locally, and outside of your
immediate area in the event of a major catastrophe?

Have you prepared for extended power outages?

Food shortages?

Water & sewage systems being out?

A Pandemic quarantine and lockdown?

A nuclear, or bio-attack?

Social chaos and riots?

95% of Americans will never prepare for any of those events
because in their mind, it's all conspiracy theory and none
of it "will ever happen here."

Ask the Argentinians about “it will never happen here.”

Ask the Russians about their 1998 economic collapse where
businesses and fortunes were lost over-night.

Ask those who got caught in Katrina & Rita about the value
or pre-planning for natural disasters.

Ask the victims of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile.

And as far as political movements pushing people to unimaginable
violence and savagery… if you think the Nazi genocide of the
Jews in Germany, the slaughter of Orthodox Christians by the
Bolshevik’s in Russia, or the slaughter of 40 million Chinese
during Mao’s great social revolution is ancient history…
listen to the stories of from Clinton’s savage bombing of
Kosovo, and how neighbors raped and murdered the wives and
children of those who mere months ago, they were friendly
and cordial with. Look at the slaughter and ethnic cleansing
that is going on in broad daylight for all the world to see
with the Palestinians.

Ask them about "it will never happen here."

Ask them about "conspiracy theories."

And perhaps most importantly of all... read about how the
"contracted mercenary forces" (that you "ahem ahem'd")
were the ones who raped little boys in front of their mothers,
and sodomized innocent prisoners rounded up for cash bounties
with acid laden flashlights... read about those from BlackWater,
and DynCorp, and then read the Patriot Act, PD 51, the
Preventive Detention Act, and the Enemy Belligerent Act...
and read the Halliburton/KBR contracts to build the FEMA camps,
and then tell me about how it can never happen here.
