#38. To: robin (#35)
The Dark Ages followed the fall of the Roman Empire and were a time when the people had nothing and the Kings everything. There were roving gangs of hoodlums who made life a misery. Centuries later, the Templars were in every town in Europe, creating opportunities for the people, until a monarch was worried about the power they held, and with the Crusades over, they weren't useful to them anymore. That sounds about right. You mix and match the church and the bank and you can play just about any tune that you wish. Nothing's gonna change, until everything changes - whenever that day comes. Come quickly.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money ." --- Josiah Stamp
b. Wrong. GP's earn on average $130,000 -$150,000. They work on average 53 hours per week. Higher end sub-specialties are lucky if they earn $350,000. c. MD's are not ignorant. In a study of IQ as it relates to occupations, MD's are at the top. d. Medical error reports have their controversies regarding accuracy. e. MD's are not Gods - but they are the best qualified profession we have in Western society to assist us with illness. You are welcome to heal yourself with vitamin dosing and alternative treatments offered in Mexico and Bali. The so called Medical Complex does not prevent you from doing so. a. It would take some sorting out, but certainly opening up the field to researching options other than Pharmaceutical Company wares. There is a lot of anecdotal and clinical evidence that some natural/holistic treatments are as effective, if not more so, than the limited repetoire now enshrined in law and regulation. For example I am minded of a study released this year on the treatment of Diabetes Patients with diet as the basis. Half of the Study Group was given the standard diet for Diabetes and the other half put on a Vegan Diet. The difference was marked. The group eating a Vegan diet - in most cases - saw marked improvement in their condition with some no longer needing medication, some no longer showing a diabetic condition, and others were able to reduce the amount of medication they took. The problem in sorting it out and establishing a curriculum aimed at healing rather than treating is that the current system is enshrined, in power, and anyone, including MD's, who try to break free of the strictures of that modality are attacked. b. I stand corrected. c. I said ignorance not intelligence. I have an I.Q. that puts me in the upper half of the upper 1% but that does not automatically make me knowledgable in all areas nor would I ever pretend it does - deep down I'm really humble. I.Q. relates to problem solving ability and the ability to learn, but a person with a high I.Q. and no knowledge in an area is still ignorant in that area. d. I would not deny that there is some controversy, BUT how much of that controversy is to bury an inconvenient fact is open to further debate. e. That was not my point, and best qualified by whose PR Company? The point is that Allopathic Medicine, which is what AMA Brand M.D.'s practice is not the only modality of treatment and that there is anecdotal and clinical evidence to suggest that they could learn a lot from other branches of healing. However, because of their training, and the arrogance and insularity it inspires, alternatives are not researched, nor funded, other than by an occasional maverick who discovers something that can't be hushed up and buried the way Royal Raymond Rife was.

The RRR reference gives you total credence here. Thanks.

Speaking of medicine; the first Arrogant Bastard ale of the evening has been poured, and is being served in an attractive Otter Creek Oktoberfest mug. Oh, yeah...that's good...
It is also going to be a chaotic year with tumult and rumours running rife. However, I have a growing sense that we will come through in the end. It will still take a couple more years to sort out but I think this will be the year upon which the future pivots. down for nap...

I just gave $100 to RonPaul2008, I thought there was a Dec 31 Money Bomb. That and I bet a member of our local meetup group he'd break 20 mil by end of year. Help me out.

I am drinking Natural Light, the cheapest beer in Texas. I ended up with a trunk full last week and I am too lazy to go buy anything else. It's not bad after a few drinks.

Ron who? I blew all my money on Arrogant Bastard ale at the liquor store today, and have been knocking them down with my wife all evening after getting hooked on YouTube videos that you got me started on with Montrose hours ago...
Glad I could help. Johnny Edgar Winter Rick Derringer !!! "Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has." - William S Burroughs
Oh, yeah...having a great time...back to listening to Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
Why do people celebrate a year changing? No one celebrates a month changing.
God is always good!
We celebrate weeks ending. I do anyway.

I'm going to sit here and write voided checks for a while until I get used to writing '2008' on them.
That can get expensive, I always practice first on scrap paper.

I don't have any kids...if I still have money left when I croak; it goes to a bunch of cats. I think I have free checking anyway.
Damn, I knew I was forgetting something. Oh well I'm on the west coast, plenty of time to catch up.
You ever glue macaroni to colored cardboard, hit it with a blast of aerosol goo and then sprinkle it with shiny bits of foil? It's really pretty.

I get three of four weeks off this time of year. Course I don't get paid either. I think I need a better job.
No, but I used to eat paste.
Hey...there's a girl in here.
Full Moon? Somebody was trying to get my wife to drink that stuff...I threatened to divorce her.
Did anyone see what the final total for the quarter was?
You guys are crazy. It's only 9:38 here, eh?

Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/LatestI was watching the History channel's show on the Knights Templar. Did you know they had their own banking system (speculation is that several Templars ended up in Switzerland, the timing is right and Swiss banks are also very secretive). King Philip the Fair of France owed the Templars a bunch of money so he got rid of one pope on charges of devil worship, got a new one who was his buddy, then charged the Templars with devil worship (it worked before); causing them to be disbanded - and voila, Philip's debts vanished.
