A real life Tex Mystery?

This was originally intended as a response to Lestat in the Anybody there thread, but I decided to give it a subject because I got to typing and didn't stop, and was able to put a lot of my thought to text. This thread is not to meant to start or spark a heated emotional debate. I know we're all adults with our own viewpoints, but I'd like to see some of your own on these issues ... and I know we can keep it intellectual or at the very least non combative. Okay, so here's the original post ... I was answering Lestat's question if it what was the problem with the elites .. was it them or were they a product of their environment, I believe

From the little that I know, these rich and powerful elites didn't get to where they were by working hard and being intelligent to gather these riches and powers. They were born into it. If you're a Rockefeller and you're in the Bilderberg group, you may have went to school. And a very nice college. The best there is no doubt. But you were groomed to do that from a young age, not because it was your choice in the matter. If you're born into that family you're not rich ... you have wealth. And that's a whole other ballpark from rich. The ambitions of the originators of the illuminati and many generations in have passed their wishes on generation to generation and as each generation of child comes through instantaneously being wealthy, not knowing what it's like to have to work and build from the ground up. It's almost like in some sense when it comes to the real important people of the world, hereditary rule, not individual merit seems to be the norm. We haven't really advanced out of true hereditary rule. Not where it matters. Monarchies aren't always lined with good people, and history can tell you that.

That's not to say that some that are involved at the highest levels of influence didn't get there by themselves, and maybe even a few of the children from families of wealth took it upon themselves to push their education and morality above everything else, and are inherently good. Maybe the families teach their children ethics, and promote the value of life. But in an atmosphere of power growing up, it would be very... VERY easy for someone to become comfortable and use that kind of power not for the greater good, but for their own personal selfish reasons. Would that be the kind of person you want to represent your species in a moment of crisis at the very highest sphere of influence?

It'd be nice if we could vote who decides our fate, but our current system is just the little stage play the highest circle of influence uses to control us into thinking we're in control. Give us the illusion of freedom, and then giving us a very very long leash. But don't be fooled, I believe we're still wearing that leash, and if we get too far ahead, they might have to tug on the leash a bit to get our attention. As a matter of fact, I'd say they've already tugged. This new healthcare bill in the US ... the first step in setting the framework for a changing government structure. And this thing is going to pass. Somehow. Someway. Either it will pass or the big guys go back to the table and start over. And there are too many people who are starting to go "Hey wait a second ... what's going on here ... ", so they can't really afford for that to happen. If it does pass, it's only the beginning. Slowly but surely local and state authorities are going to lose more and more of their authority to federal until they're all but absorbed into the new system, with set policies and procedures that are all federally mandated.

Alex Jones would have you get a gun, stock up and prepare for the war. And I agree, he comes off too much as a fear monger, but I think he's just reacting as any human would react to being stripped of their freedoms and being told things are not the same as the people who came before us made it and intended to be. When a group of rich and elite decide that a countries way that it governs itself isn't "secure" enough, or as "accessible to them" as they'd like, actively going about to try to manipulate conditions to change these things seems to me like a declaration of war on our country and what it stands for. So I understand his message ... but if he came at it with a different approach .. instead of playing darth vaders imperial march at the beginning of his show and having the casual listener roll his eyes, and shut it off ... he may reach more people with information that would be vital for everyone to at least read and make thier own decisions on.

I have nothing against any other country in the world, but I love mine, and the things that we've done here. The system we've made under our constitution. But it's like ... they're saying modern times have kicked in and the constitution is just a piece of paper ... haven't you seen in the movies what it was like in a police state? Probably in more than one film. Just a small way of conditioning you for the future. So you know what to expect.

But lots of people of gone vocal about this because we want to incite the reaction in people to make them think differently than the way they've been conditioned. We want to invoke the same response that starfleet got out of Hue, the borg they captured. We want them to look at us questioningly and ask ... "Resistance is ... not futile?"

But first, those that don't even know there is something encroaching on the way we have lived the past 200 or so years need to know what is changing, how it's happening, and why. They need to be told about the North American Union. They need to know about why the dollar is being devalued ... purposefully .. they need to know why good people like Ron Paul put forth legislation to audit the federal reserve, (WHICH IS NOT PART OF OUR GOVERNMENT, but runs all of our money. Tricks most americans because the word Federal in their title.) and it just seems to be yawned off. They need to know about the transcontinental highway, where it's going to be laid, it's purpose. If you're an American, and you took it upon yourself to look at the raw facts of these things all brought together, our massive society is slowly being poked and prodded and herded into an atomosphere that will already be willing to accept a merger to become the North American Union. You already have the European Union, and they have their fingers already trying to establish the locks and ties they need for a Asian union. And there is where I get mixed emotions.

Every fiber of my being tells me all this stuff happening around us in the world right now is dead wrong. That devaluing our country and it's structure for the benefit of global governance shouldn't even be something that would be a consideration. But I was born and raised in Ohio of America. I loved my childhood. Every bit of it. I may not have made the best decisions in the world growing up, and I moved a lot, but everywhere I moved the same thing was educated in us as we grew ... we were free to do whatever we wanted in our lives. Our only limitations were the law. But it was a fair and just law that we as a people decided. To have someone come along and change things to make our place in the world more malleable to make it fit in the grand scheme of things seems wrong ...

But in order for us to advance as a society .. to reach out into the stars ... to go beyond our planet and reach our full intellectual potential ... something like this has to happen. So personally I'm torn on what to do, or what I should think. And then it all boils down to who's controlling this whole merger ...

The rich and elite .. and then you get the question crop up again. Can we trust them to do things for the benefit of humanity, or not? Do you trust them? Why should we? They don't share their plans with us ... we have to surmise by the trail of already established corporate infrastructure that has already been set-up what their plans are. We get our information from looking very well at what they can't cover up. All of sudden the world is becoming more and more like a Tex game every day.

Sorry for being in rant mode.. heh heh heh. Feel free to respond even if your views differ. I've never really gotten a feel for what people think about this personally. I want to hear even views that say it's all a bunch of hogwash .. because negative or positive I really believe that this is an issue, and not a non issue, and should be handled as such. Not summarily dismissed as conspiracy theorist rhetoric.
