I had a Dream …

I had a dream last night and I felt a knife go into my back.

Not so long ago, I also had unfamiliar sensations of birds landing on my chest, then taking off again. And in a similar vein there has been more …

I detect an atmosphere of frustration. Temper temper !!!

This may be the results of a delusional disposition and maybe a lack of seeing REALITY.

Re Visit …

brainI’d like to revisit this one, and write a little bit.

This video – Slavery by Consent Pt.4 – was a part of the introduction to all this for me. I watched all 10 Parts (I think there is 10) and some other recordings and readings. As life dictates, my attention was turned to trying to create ‘cash flow’ for the necessaries of existance. This video and related information played on my mind for approx. twelve months before I had a chance to revisit the material in order to get a grasp on it. I have also heard others say that this stuff is like a ‘virus in the brain’ – meaning – you get an inkling and you can’t let it go, it grows in the brain like a virus. This may be the same for you !!!

How the World has changed and more …

book

I’ve recently read a book on money – titled ‘Virtual Money’ by Elinor Solomon, published 1997. The lady has an impressive list of associations, being :- George Washington University, Board of Governors of the National Economists Club, Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice.

And getting to the point – page 220     “records that documented American life 100 years ago with the present, and note that the changes in record keeping are especially dramatic. What did the world at large know about individual people a century ago? Not too much. The few records that existed kept track of births, deaths, marriages, land boundaries, and ownership. Few school records were maintained, and 75 percent of the population was self-employed. There was no insurance, few government benefits, no driver’s licenses, and no medical records. Today, less than 5 percent of the population is self-employed, 66 percent have life insurance, 90 percent have health insurance, 95 percent have Social Security accounts, and 60 million students are enrolled in schools and colleges. Records are kept by government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security, Selective Service, welfare, motor vehicle agencies, as well as universities. Private companies maintain millions of medical, insurance and credit records” and it goes on ….

Another interesting piece in the book :- page 219     “One of the most closely shielded bank secrets is its electronic money transfers. And no private bank is more ringed with elaborate security than the giant Citicorp, which boasts more extensive international connections than just about any U.S. bank. But nothing is sacrosanct any more. According to complaints unsealed in September 1995 in federal court, Citicorp’s cash-management system fell prey to the wiles of a young Russian computer operator. The master hacker’s name was Vladimir Leven and he lived in St Petersburg. The charge was illegal entry into the bank accounts of Citicorp customers, in all about $12 million, of which $400,000 was actually withdrawn. Mr. Leven added some nice touches of realism, to mimic the usual pattern of fund transfers: for example, when he posed electronically as Banco del Sud SA in Buenos Aires, transferring $304,000 through Citicorp to another account in San Francisco, he did so at his St. Pertersburg computer at 1:10 A.M., Russian time. But the ingenious attempt to simulate time delays didn’t help much in the end. FBI agents and the Russian police tracked the trail as it led from Argentina, Jakarta, New York, to San Francisco. Arrests were also multinational, sweeping up suspects in the Netherlands, Tel Aviv, San Francisco, New York and Britain” and it goes on ….

Homework …

homeworkOne of the best things I have ever done is to study by correspondence. It taught me how to LEARN from books. I also realized that sitting in a class or lecture room was the laziest form of learning.      In my opinion – every child – at some stage in their educational life should be doing at least two subjects by correspondence because you have to MOTIVATE yourself.

Note :- this is my two pennies worth towards making time spent at school worthwhile.

P.S. and if we ever get around to it, I’ve got more pennies !!!
