Dossier Dufuses & Other Sideshows

Here we go round in circles. Stories of torture, napalm, Niger, stolen elections, 9/11 truths recycled. Why? Every one of these stories was "leaked" or written on shortly after the event. Each had devotees digging and detailing as much information as possible.Yet here we are reading more or less the same stories as if new news. I know, it's to keep the stories "out front." Just as some have kept the truths of past generations out front. The history which morphed into tinfoil and produced best sellers. Or if FOIA validates the tin at a later date, it doesn't matter, as the generation who considered it a hot topic are dead or too old to care. Why do you think so much "truth" is "classified" for decades? National security or CYA a generation of government and the ruling elite they serve?

As MSM has recently given the public Mr. Libby to chew on – the "truthseekers" feel they've scored 1 point. With the possibility of even more minions to come, and new names, i.e. Wurmser and Addington – high paid sacrificial goats, more points are possible. It's a safe bet though, that even if Bush and Cheney are tarred and feathered, nothing will change. A few heads mounted on poles at the edge of town will keep the masses happy. Always has.

It's all diversion, performed for the benefit of a small percentage of politically minded masses, which, from Pew polling, numbers approximately 20 million online surfing for political news in America, and that's being generous. That includes all news seekers; right, left, and in between. Don't anticipate the global elite being blogged out of existence with truth or internetted to death anytime soon.

MSM has noticed bloggers – it's part of the show. It provides hope, entertainment, and keeps us busy. You think the USSR fell because of the masses madly faxing truth? No. Same for the Berlin Wall. The fall of the evil empire was planned and pretty much on time, as is the third worlding of the USA and the economic rise of China and India.

The government (henchman for ruling elite) are always prepared for that small portion of the population clamoring for truth. They're no more concerned over internet truthseekers than they were of … oh say … the Jim Garrisons, the Roswell and area 51 seekers, USS Liberty, the MLK seekers, or Pan Am or Contras or any other official history. Even angry masses in the street waving sticks and throwing stones don't upset the ruling elite. They are prepared for that too and the masses know it; which is the underlying reason the people are reluctant to change a corrupt system. It would be a face-off. The ruling elite historically win as they have the government armies and no hesitation in the use of same to maintain control. The "government" takes the blame. It's easier to simply switch the faces in government, legislate a couple of feel good protection laws. The masses think major change was accomplished through their effort, the people won; and the next sideshow begins.

We have been informed that the government keeps an "enemies list." Sure they do, for those few who might pose a personal threat. The threats on these "enemies lists" are not to the system but one power player to another power player. Office politics and promotions. To know who might be useful, who to advance, who to censure, who is up and coming on the ladders of leadership (leadership being the buffers between the true elite and the masses). Their "enemies list" is keeping tabs on themselves and who and how they serve the ruling elite.

Believe me, government agencies are pretty clueless when it comes to what you and I say and do unless we step on their turf, that turf being the circle of corruption they operate in. For example, when Manuel Noriega or Pablo Escobar or even Saddam Hussein, infringe on the profits or frustrate the plans of the ruling elite. You might say some minions just get too big for their britches and think they're equals. Remember Nixon and the Clinton FBI dossiers on others. Nothing new or novel here.

Think the Wilson and Plame sideshow is the truth? All part of the circus, and completely devoid of imagination. The elite of yore would have given us at least a Mata Hari trial with intrigue. We get Fitzmas and the jaded jowled Joe Wilson and wife with as yet no espionage laws broken. Just lying and obstructing. Staid, stale, and a symptom of the ever deteriorating minds of the elite.

But you, me, and the guy on the next blog can keyboard to our hearts content and it is not a threat to the status quo. If you or me or the other little guy became a serious threat (which is rare and a silly form of flattery to think so) – money would take care of it. Nor are there many of us in a position worthy of an FBI dossier. The long arm of the government to keep any information on the masses is for one reason and one reason only – money. To make sure you pay every dime you may owe to the government and the corporations it serves (the corporations also servants of global ruling elite). Any "dossiers" on the masses is nothing more than a debtors data base.

The elite think in terms of a project for the century and several generations. Without the grind of paying next month's rent or paying off the Visa card, it's easy to think far beyond a fuzzy maybe next year life. Where the most forward thinking members of the masses map out newborn Johnny's college fund or join a Christmas club, minions for the ruling elite are planning the potential power brokers into the next century and beyond. The masses think of today, next week, next month, next year; the true elite think of eternal worldwide familial rule.

Giving a name or face to "them" will have not change the status quo and actually adds more performers to the circus. The "neocons" did it, AIPAC did it, the "dancing Israelis" did it, the reptilians did it, knights templar, illuminati, Masons, Arabs, etc. The "current regime" did it. We could erase all these dancing, illuminated, knighted reptilian regimes and nothing would change; although the laughter of the true ruling elite might be heard more clearly.

How to force the elite down from their temple of the gods ? In the US – one might stop filing that paperwork every April. Stop funding the liars (global elite) and oppressors (governments/corporations) who do their bidding. That would be bloodless. Send the message the people no longer will be ruled by the idea of divine right and military might. Of course, most people are more frightened by the tax man than a standing army.

Here we go round in circles. I think of it as a big onion with always another layer to the story. It can make you cry when cutting into it, but it turns sweet if you can get it into the hot seat (pan).

Yet here we are reading more or less the same stories as if new news. In any given year, some citizens are only just starting to realize some existing truth while others continue to fend it off. We're still dealing with equal rights, for pete's sake, and the role of religion in our society, and many other long-standing issues. I did not know the Gulf of Tonkin and Pearl Harbor were not what they seemed for many years.

Who is performing the diversion... for the benefit of a small percentage of politically minded masses if it even manages to include Bush and Cheney?

You say there are about 20 million online surfing for political news in America, and it's not likely we'll see the global elite being blogged out of existence with truth or internetted to death anytime soon. Maybe so, but change happens at some point of critical mass of public intent, not by a majority. I wonder what that point is, 10%? 20? And each computer user discusses current news with family and friends. The ruling elite are a very small minority who have, I assume, tremendous economic and political power. The masses have political and economic power of a different kind; it only seems to coalesce at dramatic, isolated, almost random points in history, but it is real.

The MSM has noticed bloggers – it's part of the show. It provides hope, entertainment, and keeps us busy. Cable tv news certainly educates and perhaps legitimizes Web-based news and commentary in the eyes of its viewers, but I don't think we online readers and bloggers should grant them this authority. We already know who and what we are.

The government (henchman for ruling elite) are always prepared for that small portion of the population clamoring for truth. The current U.S. administration is not looking well-prepared at the moment. Preznit: "We do not torture." Vice: 'Except the CIA needs to be able to.' And the same other-handedness is evident for the stance of SCOTUS nominees on abortion, for keeping leakers of classified information on the WH staff, for cooperation with any of a bunch of Congressional and independent inquiries.

The ruling elite historically win as they have the government armies and no hesitation in the use of same to maintain control. Yes, and the masses are educated and acculturated, including via religion, to obey authority. That's why it takes a number of critical situations to get people sufficiently stirred up in order to face the prospect of violence.

The elite think in terms of a project for the century and several generations.[...] The masses think of today, next week, next month, next year. Perhaps, but I think it's a mistake to ascribe a wise omnipotence to the faceless elite. They are subject to the same greed they appeal to in us, and they believe their myths just as they encourage our belief in ours.

How to force the elite down from their temple of the gods ? Indeed we could quit paying taxes, or better yet, quit granting power to those who assume it without deserving it. The elite is vastly out-numbered; the sheer number of wise, principled intellectuals within the generality of mankind far exceeds those among the puppetmasters. I think change is based on such everyday things as humor. The Daily Show itself has put cracks in the previously impenetrable facade of this administration. And I think change is when we people, probably locally and regionally, simply by-pass directives and roadblocks from on high and proceed with that which works better. Cali will keep medical marijuana, Oregon will have assisted-suicide, problematical electronic voting machines are gradually replaced by absentee and vote-by-mail, young people find it less patriotic to join the military, etc. etc.

I have more comments about this most interesting posting of yours, Kate, but I've written too much already, for which I apologize. My other favorite crusty (no offense) blogger, billmon, has removed the easy direct link to his companion comments blog. I appreciate being able to comment here. :)

dus7,
I understand you're optimism but I see the system as being in place since time began, more or less, and don't see change as being an option until all are well-fed, well-educated, and well-off, which unfortunately by nature of the system cannot be allowed.

Also I don't see the "principled intellectuals" exceeding those of the puppetmasters. We've always had wise and honest intellectuals who wax eloquent from on high w/o effecting the status quo. They too are part of the grand game.

The masses have all the power if they would but take it, accept it, use it. All the stories around today were reported in MSM at one point in time or in some country's MSM. I've come to believe there will not be sufficient numbers of "the masses" to create a system that does well without war, strife, depopulation. It may be that man is self-destructive regardless of the small percentage shouting it doesn't have to be. Religion is a great source of the "later" mentality.

At some point too the Feds may step in and remove rights that states pass; they've done so before, but it will depend on the money factor. There's power in numbers but this time around I notice the numbers of "movements" are much smaller.

One reason the draft has not been reinstated yet is it would motivate the youth to hit the streets; a lesson the government learned well. People will seldom act unless something effects them directly and the government appears to be controling the effect on that portion of the population who would react.

I think it a myth to believe one man (woman) can change history; one can only do so when millions stand behind that one. If one leader stepped forward I'm not sure enough would follow.

I know personally I've changed the thinking of those around me but they feel more overwhelmed than anything else.

But all this is adds spice to life; watching history as it's made. Interesting times.

I have to incline to dus7 on this occasion. I simply refuse to accept that avalanche of cynicism. Its easy to dismiss all possibility of meaningful change in our wounded world but there is one NEW variable in the mix of history - and its right there, Kate, flickering in your face. The means for people across the globe to engage with each other at the stroke of a key and the speed of near-light has NEVER existed before and you simply are in NO position to foreclose on its potential power to succeed in mobilising the planetary masses and dispatching your dreaded "ruling elite". All it awaits is its "Messiah" and, who knows, if you ditch that cynicism it could be YOU. Cyberspace WILL spawn the "Saviour" and he/she WILL be a Blogger.

You couldn't be more wrong, I'm afraid.

Xyborg,
I might agree with you if not for the fact that billions of people have no access to the internet. Most of humanity is not allowed the luxury of sitting behind a keyboard part of each day.

As my dad would say, it's not "cynicism." Just an optimist with all the facts. I lean more toward believing if any change comes about it will be done by individual acts of protest by refusal to participate in the grand scam of things. Eventually the numbers will quietly add up.

I'm not waiting for cyberspace to blog me a "savior."

"I lean more toward believing if any change comes about it will be done by individual acts of protest by refusal to participate in the grand scam of things."

Every significant leap forward in the history of this Earth was inspired and led by a Human Person, a "saviour"-figure, and those who followed them. Christ, Lenin, Hitler, take your pick. Whether or not you are willing to "wait" on their arrival is of no moment. And as far as "optimism with facts" goes - just WHO are your "ruling elite"? What "facts" do you have concerning their existence? There is not a little irony in scorning those who believe in "dancing, illuminated, knighted reptilians" while painting a picture of a world gripped by malign and omnipotent forces in comparison to whom the former appear positively mundane.

One is left wondering just which of the two world-views is more, well, y'know...

Kate-A said...

Xy,
The fact that the people do follow leaders i.e. Christ, Lenin, Hitler, etc. and most of the world is not in a much better place proves history does repeat itself - which is what we need to stop doing.

As for who the "ruling elite" are that's simple. The royal bloodlines of old. While many had to capitulate in recent times and technically forego thrones they maintained their hold on wealth, power, and one another. Nederlands, Belgium, Germany, all of Europe, heirs to Russia, etc. Those not literally on a throne are still recognized as royal. The world is their colony. Queen Beatrix is of interest to me lately, but I'm still working on which small group of bloodlines have the final say in world matters.

The clubs such as Iluminati, Masons, Templars, etc. are/were like the rooks and knights on the chess board, nothing more or less. Not the power. Many have become harmless club meetings, bar-b-ques in towns across the world. NATO and the UN are more likely carrying out the NWO than any "secret" organizations. Secrecy ideas excite the masses. Why hide now when the agenda can be accomplished in plain sight and sanction of the masses under the auspice of international organizations.

As I've said before, this is just another money/power spat among the ruling elite, although I believe they are more united these days than ever before - being there's too many feeders and too little land mass left to fight over. I'm not sure China is playing as planned which could be a problem for the world. Time will tell.

HalleluJah!

When I grow up (already 49 teehee ;) , I want to be a great thinker and writer like you Kate.

This piece is the bomb. Word!

Such perspective! Brilliant, concise, keen perspective that is sorely needed and widely lacking. Every thinking, caring adult on the planet should read this piece imo; and trust me that ain't flattery, it's sincerity. I'm a gonna' publicize it btw.

And your close? Wow! With the simplest, and most effective solution of all (one btw which I've been suggesting to people for years, to no avail). Economic rebellion, it's THE way. So simple, it bears repeating, Hit the elite in the only place that they care about, in the only place which it hurts them, in the bloody pocketbook.

Power to the people? Oh, yeah. We actually still hold it, yet so many don't realize that. Weird, huh?

Yes, it's also pitiable what so many people are actually more afraid of. It's so irrational to be almost insanse when you think about it.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you...

Did I yet say 'thank you'? :lol:
