Eyes On Corruption

Please answer the following questions, yes or no.

Does power corrupt?

Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?

Does a little power corrupt a little?

I have never known any one to answer these
questions with a no answer, except a few who
purposefully felt the need to cloud the issue or make it ambiguous.

Here is another.

Does it make sense then that as power is increased, the level of corruption on a continuum based on that power, also increases on a similar continuum? If power on a scale from one to ten is a ten, would corruption be at a level of ten also?

The relationship does not have to be one to one, but is it still safe to assume that the most
powerful people in the world are quite a bit more corrupt than ordinary people with little or no power.

The last question is, is the president of the united states more corrupt the day after he is
elected than he was the day before winning the election?

How power is obtained is an important consideration. A person with high intelligence and
education is more corrupt than many others, but only by a minuscule unimportant margin. If power is obtained through the political process, corruption will be at a high level since the acquisition of power is the goal from the beginning.

Remember that the incentive to serve is only imaginary. Leaders seek power for the purpose of personal gain. No one does anything without an incentive. In the political arena, personal gain is the only possible incentive.

So, when leaders are elected, corruption is created or increased? So, are our leaders corrupt? It is impossible that they wouldn’t be. As power is taken from state and local governments and given to the federal government are we not also guaranteeing a more corrupt system? Increase the power of the Federal Government and corruption increases right along with it.

Many may notice that there is more corruption with the European Union than was present in each and all of the individual member countries prior to its establishment.
The lesson here is that as power is created, corruption is also created in line with the power that has been created.

UFO Dialogue In Government

Times are very interesting. We have an economy
where all the unearned money in the world is
devoted to preventing the stock market from falling.
When that can no longer be done, the entire
economy will crash.

Economies around the world are shut down or
disabled due to the emergence of the Corona Virus.
The overall death rate in the U.S. is about the same
as it is every year. Even in states where masks are
no longer required, ordinary people are scared to
take them off.

The tech, insurance and banking corporations
authored the worldwide response to the Corona
Virus. They are prospering like nothing before.
A handful of corporate insiders and other elites have literally conquered the world and are no dictating policy to virtually every government in the world. Countries around the world are baiting one another into war.
Ordinary citizens are complying with government edicts, waiting for all of these issues to disappear just like the have in the past.

And, now your government is about to release information to the effect of, UFO’s may very well be monitoring our military bases and that this all needs to be recognized and dealt with.

Personally, I have never given much thought to UFO dialog and alleged sightings. There are very
good reasons why we have never been visited bu aliens and most likely every be. That is because
if all life, including alien, is subject to the same laws of dominance and subservience they will
destroy themselves long before they ever make it out of their solar systems.

History shows that the life’s power struggle does not lose its intensity no matter how much
power is consolidated. Human beings never stop seeking power. The world is like a big game of
king of the mountain. Technology makes it possible to kill more and more people with fewer
resources and less effort.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Peasants in the field, on average arehardly corrupt at all. Corruption at the top, like with world leaders is so pronounced it is unfathomable. It is so unfathomable that folks insist on deeming it otherwise. In the end, given our system of dominance and subservience, certainty any intelligent life on earth will kill itself
off long before any serious space travel is possible.

But, there is no certainty that the same system of regulating life on earth is present on any other
planets where there is life. Chances are though that life is life and it works the same way no
matter where it is.

Scared people are a wonderful market. They will pay almost unlimited sums for even the illusion
of safety and security. So, if there is even a hint that aliens are scoping out our world, the cost of
living will skyrocket astronomically. Who wouldn’t surrender most rights to a central authority
in order to be protected from invading aliens from outer space?

Realistically, if an alien civilization is advanced enough to make it here, we might as well just
throw in the towel and wait and see what they do to us, if anything all.

We all know that you can’t get something for nothing. Perhaps aliens can show us that there
really is a way to get something for nothing. That would sure make a lot of human beings happy.

Overall Scheme Of Things Quiz June 25, .2020

The following is a true and false test covering the overall scheme of things with respect to today’s political, economic and social situations. There are no automatically right answers. Don’t try and guess what my answers are although I may post them as a comment when I get around to it.

Sometimes we are not sure we what we think. A test like this can be utilized by a person to examine his own thoughts in the light of reality.

Notice that I do not use but occasional facts in these articles. I know about as many facts as the next guy. But, my work focuses on understanding the realities of situations when there are only a few to no facts available.

At this very moment, do we know what the president is doing? How about folks in congress? What are they thinking and planning?

All of the statistics in the world, give no clues about what leaders and all others are doing at this very moment. The principle facts we have are simply knowing what various humans are prone to be doing. Typically, when decisions are made, relevant information is not in hand but predictions can be made simply by understanding human nature and knowing that human nature is what determines outcomes.  These kinds of forecasts are much more reliable than those based on statistics and quantitative analysis.

True       False

40.) If the largest corporations had the ability to control the incomes of all, their well being as well as their own profitability, they would not do so because that would be dishonorable. Honor and doing what is right guides corporate America.

True       False

Roots of Stock Market Manipulation Part 3

Roots of Stock Market Manipulation Part 3 PDF Version 

Anointed Stocks (There are more. These are easiest to see.)

Here are examples of anointed stocks. Big Tech: AMZN, GOOG, AAPL, FB, ADBE

Healthcare Related, UNH, HUM,

Banking & Finance, GS, JPM

It is not hard to notice that the anointed stocks all have stellar, highly profitable relationships with government. It is symbiotic. The corporations help government and in return government helps them.

Each anointed stock benefits from the assistance of all other anointed stocks. Over time they learn to work together for their common good.

Controlling the stock market is only part of the effort to control the opinions and behaviors of the unaware general public. All activities of the anointed stocks are much more profitable if the population is homogenized and behaviors are standardized.  So, out of the social media we have agenda driven censorship. It is intensively for the good of the country. It is good for their bottom lines. Censorship only became a practice when events threatened the well being of the anointed corporations. The media overall is tightly owned and only reports what will insure the public remains homogenized and pliable.

Goldman Sachs (GS) and other banks like JP Morgan (JPM) pretty much determine what Federal Reserve Policy is. Is it the Fed or big banks which figure out when more QE is needed?

Healthcare is the prime beneficiary of the Affordable Care Act. What this law does is similar to a system my late uncle, a cattle rancher devised to provide healthcare to his cattle. He had a big coral for the cattle and a long shoot they would have to walk through to get some hay. As each cow passed by, it would get vaccinated and doctored.

What the Affordable Care Act does is provide healthcare related corporations with skimming operations. The more patients that can be seen in the shortest period of time provides an optimum for skimming operations profitability. Notice the emphasis on censoring information about inexpensive cures that could interfere with big pharmaceutical profits.

It is easy to notice that anointed stocks are the favorites of the central banks which buy equities. Certainly they don’t want to see their equity purchases decline in value.  They do have the option  of helping support  the stock.

We do not know the composition of the consortium that controls the stock market. By simply knowing people are doing in the present moment, what they are prone to do, it is not hard to determine who is most likely to involved.

This is an important question. If It could be done, would insiders within the world’s anointed corporations work together to permanently enhance the value of all of their assets and control the world’s factors of production? Then turn the question around and ask, is their any reason why they wouldn’t?

How To Get What You Want

<a href=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Free-Money-Watchdog-Photo1.jpg”><img class=”alignleft wp-image-2292″ src=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Free-Money-Watchdog-Photo1.jpg” alt=”Free-Money-Watchdog-Photo” width=”320″ height=”213″ /></a>Over the past 50,000 years people have been slaves, subjects of kings, members of tribes and as of late they had opportunities to govern themselves. Yet, when asked, what exactly does government do for people, they never give a supportable answer. Is government supposed to keep people safe? Is government supposed to solve problems for people? Is it supposed to make everyone’s life turn out even? Is government supposed to act like a parent and make everyone behave?

It doesn’t really matter how these questions are answered. Government does not do any of these things and never has. Still these and other notions are assumed to be the job of government.

So when a government is organized what does it do in actual practice? Government provides a way for people to get what they want and force other people pay for it, or bear the burden of making it possible. That is what governments do today, the same as they have always done. In the old days, everyone served a king and the king got everything his subjects did for him at a huge discount. With the advent of democratic principles all who can obtain political power, use democracy to extract income and wealth out of everyone else. In all of history, surely there is an exception but I don’t know of one.

I meet a lot of resistance trying to get folks to favor having government do nothing but administer justice. Apparently the fantasy of getting more out of life than you put into it is so strong that people can’t part with the idea even when it is clear they have always paid all of the costs and have received no benefits.

Fascism is not a system that gets named in a constitution. A parliament or congress does not declare Fascism to be the way of the future. A Fascist does not know he is a Fascist. Fascism is system that evolves after decades or centuries of people using government to get what they want. In the end, the powerful get it all and destroy the system, themselves and everyone else. Self interest generates all income and prosperity but if it is completely unchecked the effect is disastrous.

In a free market system, self interest is tempered by good will. There is a limit to how bad a merchant can treat a customer without losing out. When government decides what people own and what services they pay for goodwill is lost. As a customer, you are no longer a merchant’s friend. You are cannon fodder because profit doesn’t come from you, it comes from what the government forces you to do to support the merchant, who has more political power than you do. A fascist system gets more brutal as time goes on. Exceptions are easily made to civil rights and some minority becomes a scapegoat on which people can focus their anger.

Supporters of the Fascist system are deemed patriots. Others are accused of destroying the viability of the system. Most citizens believe they are living in a free market system, especially those who identify as conservatives.

Do not be fooled into believing experts are on the verge of solving our economic problem. Doing that is only their job. They have not the desire, knowledge or savvy to use in doing so. The experts in which American’s place their faith are using government for the same reason ordinary citizens are. They are using government as a way to get what they want.

The fantasy that the average person is going to achieve some net gain out of turning issues over to government is a 50,000 year old pipe dream, or more appropriately, a long running nightmare.<a href=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/00_logo_1.jpg”><img class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-2136″ src=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/00_logo_1.jpg” alt=”00_logo_1″ width=”600″ height=”104″ /></a>
