 Jim Quinn: Everybody Knows

Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog,

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Leonard Cohen – Everybody Knows

From the article above, I hope you take time to read it as it applies to everybody.

Cohen wrote the song in 1987 and it perfectly captures the mood of a Third Turning Unraveling, where greed; narcissism; the breakdown of societal trust; confidence in governmental and financial institutions; and the deterioration of society into the “haves” and “have nots”; sets the stage for the Fourth Turning Crisis of financial collapse, war, and a violent bloody resolution by 2032. Third Turnings are periods of cynicism, deterioration of manners and civil authority, societal disunity, and a cultural descent towards degeneracy.

  and more...

The dice have been loaded for decades. The war was over in 1963 when the CIA, on behalf of the Deep State, murdered John F. Kennedy. The American people (the good guys) lost, and the Deep State won. They got their war in Vietnam. They got their Welfare State. They got guns, butter, a currency unlinked from gold, and the green light to create debt to infinity. The Deep State has consolidated their power and control over every aspect of our lives in the six decades since they killed JFK.

"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.  Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance...

The war is raged by the ruling group against it's own subjects and it's object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

George Orwell, 1949 from "1984"

This from the article:

The same mentality can be seen in people financing the purchase of $60,000 depreciating vehicles over seven years and getting into bidding wars over houses when prices are at an all-time high and mortgage rates are at decade highs. They are in a “live for today” mental state because they know the future is going to be terrible and they are being lied to by the captains.

The national debt stood at $11 trillion in 2009, which was up by $5 trillion since 2000 due to Bush’s useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his War on Terror – meant to be endless and permanently beneficial to the MIC and Deep Surveillance State. It took 210 years to reach $5 trillion in debt, and only 25 years to add another $30 trillion.

Just think about what has been done in our names...perhaps when we were not paying attention...using our gadgets and phones. 

Bring out the books again and lets start reading ...whether it's history or non-fiction it's out there for us to read.  

Suggest purchases at your local libraries, it's quite interesting to see how many holds there are on books that you do.
