The Real Enemy and What YOU Can Do
Laura Knight-Jadczyk
Last week I wrote an editorial to kick off our Semi-annual Fundraiser.
In that editorial I quoted a popular political action group's
fund-raising re****t that informs us that, from 6,613 contributors, they
were able to raise $389,900 in a single DAY. That averages out to
$58.00 per person. Not a big expenditure for everyone, but the total is
what is amazing. That total is a result of the large base of sup****ters
they have which they have as a result of early advertising and very
public and prominent activities where they make a big splash but
actually accomplish zilch. They added that "This generosity gives us a
great deal of hope." I, on the other hand, did not express much hope at
all that pursuing change via political action within the existing
system would accomplish a thing.
As I pointed out, "The hoopla about spying on innocent Americans to
ferret out terrorists is just a smokescreen; [Bush's illegal spying is]
purely and simply, to spy on political opponents, journalists, and to
obtain material for blackmail so as to completely control the political
process.
And that means that all those hundreds of thousands of dollars,
millions of dollars even, that are flowing into the coffers of various
"Political Action" groups are all going to waste. It's all for
nothing. Nothing will change. They will spend your money, make a big
show, make a good living off of it, and nothing, NOTHING, will change.
Since the SOTT team regularly has "brain-storming" meetings to discuss
what we see on the global stage, this issue has naturally been on the
table a time or two. As our readers may know, we scour the web for the
news, trying, if at all possible, to create the picture of what is
really going on from credible sources. We often contrast one mainstream
source against another in order to show the reader how things get
twisted and distorted and even misrepresented. We utilize flashbacks
and special re****ts on key issues to show the historical development so
that the reader may have a broader and deeper view. This approach to
"seeing" is founded on our more esoteric work. We believe that if an
individual has a philosophy, it ought to manifest in their life and
work across the board. We here at SOTT consider the present state of
our world as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. Pierre
LaPlace wrote:
Consider an intelligence which, at any instant, could have a
knowledge of all forces controlling nature together with the momentary
conditions of all the entities of which nature consists. If this
intelligence were powerful enough to submit all this data to analysis
it would be able to embrace in a single formula the movements of the
largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atoms; for it,
nothing would be uncertain; the future and the past would be equally
present to its eyes.
Obviously, what LaPlace was proposing is a bit out of reach for most of
us, but with a cooperative of researchers who all contribute input to
the image of our world we are building, we can go in the direction of
such an "intelligence" that can see past, present, and future. And
certainly, by seeing past and present in as broad and deep a manner as
possible, we are much better equipped to know the future and whether or
not we like it, and if we don't like it, to make different choices NOW
that will shape that future differently..
And here is where we encounter the BIG PROBLEM.
LIES.
