McCain/Obama Economy

At least McCain has admitted to "wishing he had studied harder" concerning economics. Obama has decide to keep his ignorance of economics quiet. However, the inflationary depression that we are ALL going to experience in the approaching years should wise you up about the folly of fiat Federal Reserve paper money backed by greedy collectivist politicians like Obama and McCain.

Fiat money, mandated by law, as the only legal currency which can be used to buy the things we need to exist, IS a collectivist scheme. If it were up to any sensible individual they would surely not accept these inflated dollars and demand payment in gold, silver or some other commodity that possessed actual value. But collectivists like McCain and Obama think it is just fine to punish the individual for not obeying their collectivist currency laws that benefit the elite.

This is the main reason I cannot vote for these two collectivists. Cubans that do vote for these guys are not my enemy. I believe they are currently misguided especially on these vital economic questions. But the near future is sure going to wise you up. You are going to experience an economy that the vast majority of you younger than my 90 year old mother have never seen.

As these things come to pass do not blame me for them because I warned you. Blame the collectivists you voted for. By the way it gives me no joy to know that bad times are ahead for a great many of you.

Finally, these same two collectivist candidates plan on attacking Iran and they want it done soon - perhaps on Bush's watch so he can take the heat. When this is done so is our economy. Iran has the capability to not only shut off the supply of oil from the middle east, they have an army big enough to overrun the U.S. forces in Iraq. The only way to stop that once the shooting starts is tactical nukes. Ask yourself if you can afford to pay $8 a gallon for gas right about now. I could but I wouldn't like it. I'd be paying $82 a week in my Celica. You good ol' boys in your pickups and SUVs will be forking over hundreds every week or about a grand a month, perhaps much more. Don't even think about heating oil. Our wobbly economy would come to a screeching halt but the NEO-Cons and their kinfolk would still be eating pretty good.

People keep on "getting played" (a.k.a. being used as a pawn) every day, ourselves included, by the masters that control the global chess game of which we are all part, when some of the uninformed participate in some of the financial schemes of the regional masters that answer to the global masters, whether they are aware of it or not being irrelevant, it is the pawns that get the blame from the right wingers who are partly correct in placing the blame on the pawns, and the greedy capitalists that get the blame from the left wingers whom like their right wing counterparts are also partly correct. Neither side expose the true culprit(s) and there are many reasons for such action, trying to enumerate every single one of them would take a long time which I am not going to dedicate to something that informed and educated people should be able to discern on their own, the bottom line is that money is at the heart of it together with the many pleasures and privileges that it can buy for its possessors, the Holy Bible states that "love of money is the root of many evils" something that has been warped and sold to many in its sacrilegious form as "money is the root of all evil" especially by that well known Pagan global institution that has managed to deceive millions for almost two millennia by falsely identifying itself as Christian, the same institution that has so willingly supported almost every single manifestation of powerful megalomania that have infested the Western world since before the fall of the Roman Empire, the one global institution that curiously happens to be one of the wealthiest ones in the world, most of its wealth being derived from the States and tyrants that it has supported overtly or covertly, real palpable wealth, not the easily fleeting fiat one, but the one that is based on property value and gold, silver and gem stones, the one institution that for centuries demanded that its followers "obey their masters" and insisted until a couple of decades ago on demanding that its followers blindly perform traditional routines of repetitious blabber which it called prayers in a language that has been extinct for centuries (i.e. Latin, the Roman Empire's language) while also indoctrinating such followers to believe that reading the Bible would drive them insane. Of course if its followers were to read the Holy Bible they would begin to question the contradictions that exist between the institution's dogmatic (man made, not directed by God) teachings and what's found in the Bible, one of its most flagrant contradictions being that its temples have the Ten Commandments posted at strategic locations while simultaneously violating the First and Second Commandments (1st: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me - 2nd: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image) of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Sometimes as history has shown repeatedly, cataclysmic incidents become necessary in order for a plurality or even a majority of people to become somewhat awakened from their daily and constant drone-like slumber, it is through and as a result of these incidents, many of which have been savagely expository of the barbaric and cruel extents to which mankind has allowed itself to be brought to, such as the 20th century's "ethnic cleansing" brutalities that have been exposed for all the world to witness and the not so well exposed ones, that the correct or at least partly correct actions have been taken to prevent them from repeating themselves in similar sadistic fashion, perhaps we need to get our collective derrières kicked into action in order for the drone-like majority to wake up to reality, perhaps we will be able to collectively understand the primary importance of the individualist focused Declaration of Independence and the Constitution which were forged by the enlightened minds of the founding fathers of the USA, agreements which were not reached without ample debates pro and con, but which were nevertheless attained through much personal dedication and sacrifice, similar to what the heroes of Cuba's wars of independence would eventually suffer, as well as, their patriotic descendants during the 20th century, the culmination of such having been expressed in that magnificent effort known as the Cuban Constitution of 1940, the only one that should be recognized as a valid representative of the Cuban people's best wishes for independence and a republic truly of the people, from the people and for the people, each and every individual one of us Cubans.

Angel, you always seem to get it right when the crowd has it so wrong. For example I hear people say all the time incorrectly that money is the root of all evil. You correctly assert that the "love" of money is the root of evil...like the Bible does.
