peace leads to more peace
I am a firm believer in vibrations and us working as tuning forks. Everyone you associate with is forming you, as you are echoing eachother. Literally. That might be the reason why some monks have to withdraw as their sensitivity increases. There are just too much to take in, and the sensitivity is driving one in all directions. Thoughtwise and emotionally.

Doesn't mean that if Amerika becomes a third world country that the rest of the world goes down.
But, much of it probably will. It is hard to distinguish the "America economy" apart from other economies.

I have been toying with the thought of countries and the stupid way we divide our planet. If there ever came aliens to earth, think how absurd it would be if two competing spaceships decended on earth from the same planet. Cause they were from different locations on that globe and competing to get first to earth. It is ridiculus.
If we'd ever encounter extra-terrestial life, we would be gathered eventually. Even the most nationalistic of us would manage to see earth as one planet. Heheh.

Tren, Are you aware that Brazil has been pretty much independent from a need for oil for almost the last 10 years now? Over 80% of their cars run on vegetable fuels, over there moreso, fuel made from sugar cane.
How did Brazil get that free from the mid east and that far ahead of the U.S.A.? Google this stuff you guys. Brazil, the land of thongs and Mardi Grais has its shit more together then we do.
Our government can easily turn to alternatives. Bush says he is pushing for it now. Whatever about him, others are taking matters into their own hands in America. There is another way and its being paved now. 
You will all love whats behind curtain number 3 here
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/economy/jan-june06/biofuels_4-13.html#
Click in the rectangle box to the right of the Biofules Box to watch the streaming video. Very enlightening it is.
It starts off at a restaurant trade show but quickly gets into a business collecting vegetable oil from restaurants and then, into Americas situation and interviews from Scientists and innovators moving things away from our dependancy on middle east oil, oil in general and into cleaner air.
One dude said he was threatened by the Saudis not to go ahead with his plans to manufacture the stuff on large scale or else they would just lower oil prices again to knock him out of the market place. He said they fixed it for the Saudis to go "water their camels" because our Gov will just raise taxes keeping gas prices the same until people switch and convert their cars and or buy new cars made to run on the stuff.
Ice, it looks like the Saudis ship may sinking soon. Perhaps we should be discussing any repercussions of that, related to connections, if there even will be any for us in the West. The people there are already poor. Only the greedy will get screwed and they will be forced to revamp their economies to generate a new source of income from trade. They will have new opportunity to rebuild for the better too.
And with this video clip, its another example of the fall of greedy Saudis and the rebuilding taking place by Americans who want a better way.

what if much like eleven, alien crafts are merely staged as a fake "invasion" so that we will unite under a new world order of sorts (not the peaceful kind i'm referring to)?

The fresh paint is already going up on the walls, regarding a switch to alternative fuel. It's happening. Watch the video stream. You will feel really encouraged!

Well thank you all for not watching the video and in no way commenting on the topic of the video.
I'm not speaking about the declining economy and declining power internationally, I'm specifically talking about the fundamental break-down of democracy. Maybe, if you care, go back to the first post, click the link for the video, and watch it all the way thru. The current situation for the US is no secret, but alot of specifics and alot of events that happened need be questioned.
I guess the question really is, do you want to stand by idle as your government commits attrocities equivilent to that of the beginnings of the third reich? Is history really doomed to repeat itself? Why do 70 million americans want a re-investigation into 9-11, yet nothing is being done by the administration nor the people?
Why do we continue to act like we vote for the leader of the people, when we only have the choice of selecting the lesser of 2 evils, and even if another option is available, we are still more comfortable selecting the known evils?
Why are the American people so quickly able to believe blatant lies from the government without question?
Why are the people who claim to be the pillar of freedom so willing to give up any freedoms they had because of a threat that has already been around for decades?
Why did the government let 9-11 happen? (If you dont agree with the foundation of the question, meaning you dont think the government took part in 9-11 and/or knew it was going to happen, please do some basic research on the subject, and again maybe watch the video I posted to get a quick introduction on a subject mostly ignored)

I think this would be a good article for everyone to read.... full of disturbing things.
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen
-------------------- "Centuries ago, sailors on long voyages used to leave a pair of pigs on every deserted island. Or ... a pair of goats. Either way, on any future visit, the island would be a source of meat. These islands, they were pristine. These were home to breeds of birds with no natural predators. Breeds of birds that lived nowhere else on earth. The plants there, without enemies they evolved without thorns or poisons. Without predators and enemies, these islands, they were paradise. The sailors, the next time they visited these islands, the only things still there would be herds of goats or pigs. Does this remind you of anything? Maybe the ol' Adam and Eve story? You ever wonder when God's coming back with a lot of barbecue sauce?" Chuck Palahniuk

As a Scotsman I think that you guys have done not bad. Considering that you built the most powerful nation in the world from a melting pot/(salad bowl...) of nationalities, cultures and traditions in a matter of centuries, you did a remarkably good job of keeping it all under control. Not only under control, but let it flourish. But I think the time is up; Napoleon said "China is a sleeping giant. When it awakens, the earth will shake.." I think that's happening now.

thanx for the link. very powerful sequences in there. Who the hell was that guy that spoke like a priest about "television being the goddamned tool of propaganda owned by the most powerful companies" or something like that? That guy was amazingly good. Or like that republican senator breaking into tears while making his speech. wow.

I don't know what's happening to America, but its scary, and I hope people will rise to stop these outrageous liars and criminals within the US govt.
