This will date me significantly, but there once was an advertising campaign tha went something like this, "promise her anything but give her Arpege" - is that perfume still around anymore? No idea, but it seems that today that marketing is a combination of making promises that either are not possible to keep, over promising/under delivering and doing whatever it takes to convince (sell) your customer in such a way as to extract from them money - whether they need or can afford to purchase your (fill in the blank widget) or not.
Have you noticed the number of telephone sales solitiations, lately... seems that they are calling earlier, later and more often than ever. Thank goodness for caller ID - if I do not recognize the caller I usually do not bother to answer otherwise, I would waste all of my time explaining why I do not want to take advantage of whatever offer they are promoting. A recent article from the National Inflation Association points to in my opinion the reason there is such a concerted effort to separate the people from their money resources. The following quote explains:
"Although we believe the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests are a very positive sign, Wall Street is not the problem. The Federal Reserve and their policies of creating massive monetary inflation are the root cause of all our economic problems, including the destruction of the middle class. Having a prosperous Wall Street is important for the future of the U.S. economy. American entrepreneurs need to be able to access our capital markets in order to raise money to build the next Apple."
"If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve's unconstitutional actions and the moral hazards they create, instead of having massive assets bubbles that constantly blow up to overvalued levels and then burst to insanely undervalued levels, stocks would trade based on their true fundamentals. Companies that took reckless risks like Goldman, Citigroup, and Bank of America, would be out of business."
.
Even though the government claims that the rate of inflation is extremely low, just one look at the prices in the grocery store, and at the items that one absolutely must have to maintain any kind of reasonable comfort level (food, heat, gasoline, necessities, etc. ) have been ratcheting upward at an astonishing pace. What this really means is that the purchasing power of your dollar has declined significantly.
I have avoided posting partly due to the overwhelmingly depressing and confusing tenor of the main stream news - the conflicting evidence of how difficult it is for the people who are either unemployed or underemployed and therefore not in the top earning levels to make ends meet, yet the mainstream news is talking about the "recovery" as if this news applies to anyone other than the top 1% of the populatio. Meanwhile the rest of us are struggling just to make it from pay period to pay period. . . An example is from an article written by Barry Gray, titled CEO pay in US soared 23% in 2010, in which he comments that US unemployment remains at near-Depression levels and health care, pensions and education are being slashed by all levels of the government, the pay of corporate CEOs is soaring. The compensation of the 200 highest-paid chief executives at large corporations increased by 23 percent in 2010 over the previous year, according to a New York Times report in July of 2011. Perhaps it is naive of me to ask, but just exactly what is it that these CEOs do that entitles them to such extreme pay and bonus levels while those that actually produce whatever it is their company sells have difficulty buying the necessities of life???
As we connect the dots, there is little question as to what the "occupy movement" is attempting to communicate to the world, "We are tired of the haves taking eferything from the have nots!"

The Greatest Depression now underway is an engineered event (just like the one in the 30's) . The destruction of the dollar, the increase in the fiat money supply that will create merciless inflation, and the slow withering away of the middle class — all of this is part of the plan to remake the world as the globalists see it. If the Greatest Depression is allowed to continue unabated billions of people will be reduced to serfdom under a global government scheme cooked up by the elite. Another problem reaction solution scheme to further their ends to a one world government with a one world currency, a one world army and a one world court.
The empty promises - of a free lunch, etc., etc., etc. are just that. If a government is powerful enough to give you everything, it can just as easily take everything away, since they create nothing of themselves, they must take it from someone else to provide it to you... Pretty soon there is no one else to take it from. Remember to ask the question, who actually benefits and follow where the money trail leads to find out.
That is about enough for now, till next time,
