		<description><![CDATA[<p>The End is Near</p>
<p>The buzz is everywhere. Not the same “Repent, for the End is Near” religious fervor that one see’s from the images of Hollywood.  It is not that the “World” is coming to an end. The “World” will go on.  It is not that “Armageddon” is upon us – in a biblical sense.  Rather, the buzz is that our “Way of Life” is coming to an end. And relatively soon.</p>
<p>For sure, every generation has been faced with a crisis and in each instance there were those who believed that they were facing “the end”.  While some may use this axiom to dismiss the cries of doom as pure rhetorical nonsense, to do so is to ignore the realities that previous generations actually faced. Indeed, many times throughout our history the “End is Near” cries were met with actual Death. Dismissing such cries reeks of ignorance.</p>
<p>It is unfortunate we forget  that in 1929 when the stock market crashed, many people subsequently died. Many Investors and Stock Brokers, faced with the reality of their folly and unwilling to face the people whose life savings and lives they had destroyed, committed suicide. The Great Depression that followed destroyed many more lives. The “World” changed in 1929. For millions of people, the “End” was reality.</p>
<p>This is just the latest example of how our “Way of Life” has been destroyed and rebuilt. This pattern can be followed back throughout all of American history …</p>
<p align="center">The Vietnam War</p>
<p align="center">WWII</p>
<p align="center">WWI</p>
<p align="center">the Spanish / American war</p>
<p align="center">the American Civil War</p>
<p align="center">the American Revolutionary War</p>
<p align="center">(Let’s not forget: Korean War, Desert Storm, Op. Iraqi Freedom, or the “Cold War”.<br />
Wars which affected the lives of individuals, but failed to “remake” the nation as a whole.)</p>
<p>In each case, at that particular time in history, there were those who cried, “The End is Near” and they were right. In each case, millions of people did not live through the event to be able to say “I told you so”. They died in war. They died defending their freedom. Others died of exposure to elements, disease or starvation. Many died from violence as a side effect of poverty.</p>
<p>Oftentimes those who survived, did so out of shear willpower. Women would resort to prostitution, just to earn enough money to buy bread. Men would hunt for food – and kill anyone who tried to take it from them.</p>
<p>I digress. The point is that today, when we say “The End is Near” we are not referring to a “tribulation”, or the return of Jesus or even some hooky Mayan prophesy. What we are referring to is an end to our current way of life.</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">The End is Near. Our future does NOT look good.</p>
<p>Without referencing anecdotal evidence, there are real – quantifiable signs that we are on a collision course to the destruction of our way of life. The single most obvious:</p>
<p><strong>The National Debt – </strong>Our debt has become so large that the human brain cannot even comprehend how massive it actually is. The National Debt has reached $12.5 Trillion. Yet, the entire income of the federal government, from ALL sources; is only $2.1 Trillion. The total value of our nations assets (Every single thing we own) is only $75.6 Trillion but we have over $107.6 Trillion in unfunded liabilities.</p>
<p>In short, our entire economic system is on a hair trigger to come crashing down.</p>
<p>All it will take is for just one of our “friends” (ie: China, Japan, Russia or any of the oil producing nations who hold our debt, including: Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Gabon, Libya, and Nigeria) to stand up and shout, “Margin Call !!” and the U.S. Dollar will be as worthless as Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>The “End” will come because of the apathy and ignorance of the American People to our National Debt.  It will come because 60% of Americans are too stupid or too selfish to take any action to correct the problem. The flock of sheep that is the American Public has grown so large, that the flock can no longer be sustained.</p>
<p>You’ve heard the idiocy …</p>
<p style="text-align: center">“Cut the deficit! – But how dare you cut MY social security!”</p>
<p style="text-align: center">“Cut spending! – But not the money for MY school!”</p>
<p style="text-align: center">“Stop the waste! – After I get MY unemployment check!”</p>
<p style="text-align: center">“Lower Healthcare Costs! – But don’t reduce MY Medicare!”</p>
<p>People have forgotten that it is NOT the job of our Government to provide Education, Retirement, Healthcare or Welfare of ANY kind. Those are “Liberal” concepts that the American people were fed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and subsequently Liberal Teachers who invaded our schools. We, with the innate selfishness that is part of the human condition – Gobbled it up. It sounded so nice and humane. But it is this Liberalization concept which is the root of our failing society.</p>
<p>Liberalism inevitably  leads to destruction. It always has – it always will. Because at the core of Liberalism is “Redistribution” in every form and context. Such a system, when applied to Government, leads precisely to where we are today.</p>
<p>The End is Near. Our economy <em>is</em> going to collapse. Maybe not tomorrow or next week, but it will probably happen before Obama is out of office. He (and his ilk) are the single greatest threat to our economy and society.</p>
<p>It could be stopped – but it won’t be. We have been given the foresight and opportunity to correct the situation – but we won’t. We stare directly into the abyss, knowing that it is coming and knowing full well what needs to be done – and we do nothing. We add fuel to the fire as we allow our politicians to create laws that deepen our dependency on government. After all the bickering between Republicans, Democrats, Liberals &#38; Tea Baggers, at the end of the day – nothing will be done to stop the coming disaster.</p>
<p>But it’s not the fault of our Politicians. It’s our fault. It’s our fault for not saying NO! when Liberals invaded our schools, courts and governments. It is our fault because we elected people to “give us stuff” instead of electing them to “safeguard the rights we already have”. It is our fault because we forgot what a government is supposed to do – and what it is NOT supposed to do.</p>
<p>The End is Near – and we deserve what we get.</p>

<p>How would you like to become an Emperor? When you break it down, it really is not all that difficult. All you really need is the will to do it, a lot of money (or supporters with money), and a great deal of audacity. Follow these 5 steps and you too can become Emperor of a nation, ANY nation.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Control Information</strong>: Media &#38; Flow of information must be controlled. Follow the three “D’s”, <strong>Domination</strong>, <strong>Destruction</strong> or <strong>Deception</strong>. (Note: These same three “D’s” can be applied for all steps). <strong>Dominate</strong> the media by controlling them financially or through coercion; <strong>Destroy</strong> any media sources who might disseminate negative information. Pass laws against them. Cut off their financial means. If all else fails, arrest the executives on pretend offences. <strong>Deceive </strong>the media (public) through propaganda.</li>
<li><strong>Control monetary system:</strong> The best way is to destroy the entire system. By destruction, one can more easily control the populace by rationing their ability to trade goods. The goal is to get the people completely dependent on the assistance of the government. You simply cannot allow people to have control over their financial affairs. The people must be kept in a state of “near despotism”. Not quite destitute –but not able to afford any luxuries. In today’s society, healthcare is actually part of the monetary system. One’s ability to access “good health &#38; services” is directly related to one’s financial situation. The more money one makes, the better care one can get. If you control healthcare services, you control the people.</li>
<li><strong>Control Movement of Population</strong>: This includes disallowing the ability of people to assemble as well as their ability to move from place to place. People who move about also share information. This must not be allowed. The first step is to pass Laws quickly to prohibit certain activities – then arrest people [legally] for disobeying the law. You should instigate a crisis – then declare martial law to control it. Check points along routes of travel will provide a means to arrest people who would be likely to rise against you.</li>
<li><strong>Control all Dissent</strong>: First, you must destroy any who would have the ability to challenge you at a later date. Best to do this by killing them, but locking them up would be almost as effective. Again, laws (or policies) that you enact will aid in arresting those who may be of a threat. You begin by arresting those who fought against you in your rise to power. This is because they are in the best position to fight against you in the future. Concurrently, you must eliminate any other contenders who might later become leaders in a resistance. Any of the three “D’s” will work.</li>
<li><strong>Control all Elections</strong>: You would definitely want to use a multi-pronged attack for this one. You must assure that you get your supporters (those weak minds you have manipulated) to the poll and prevent the opponent’s supporters from voting. Import voters if you have too. Get them to vote as many times as possible. It’s not necessary to be 100% effective. Once the polls are closed, you must make sure that your votes are counted (as many times as possible) and that your opponent’s votes are “disqualified”.<br />
 <br />
This step is not only crucial for your ascension to power, but you must also work with others  (who support you) so that they will be in positions of power alongside you. After you get into power, you will be able to ‘appoint’ people who will assure your continued reign.</li>
</ol>
<p>Obviously, in order to become Emperor you will need some skills. Mostly, they are skills of manipulation and deception. “Deceive those you can – Manipulate those you can’t.” The most important skill of all is the ability to speak in an inspiring and authoritative way.  It doesn’t really matter if you are intelligent or not, so long as you don’t put your foot in your mouth too often. It doesn’t matter if you are factual. If you say the same thing over and over with authority, people will believe it is fact.</p>
<p>You must be a master of telling people what they want to hear. Not what they “think” they want to hear, but what they actually want to hear. They will then see themselves in you. They will view you as someone “who gets me” or “understands my views”.  When you see them weep, you will know they have become your flock, and will follow you to the end of the world.</p>
<p>These 5 steps, along with some simple (drama club) skills are all it takes to become an Emperor. It doesn’t matter what government system is already in place. It could just as easily be a representative republic as a dictatorship. In fact, it would actually be harder to accomplish in a dictatorial regime because the current dictator would be watching for someone like you. However, in a democracy (or representative republic) you can use the system to your advantage. You could even get money to finance your revolution from the very people you will enslave.  </p>
<p>Follow these 5 easy steps – and you can become Emperor of your own nation.</p>
