Subjugating Humanity Part One - Who is Running Earth?

From: Earth survey ship "Look Lively"
To: Mission Operations, Arcturus IX
Subject: Summary of analysis of Earth's political system.

There are four questions that have been bugging our learned colleagues back on Arcturus IX.

The first is:"Who is running Earth?" The second is "How are they doing it?" The third is "Are they sane?" The fourth is "Why do the people of Earth put up with it?"

Our year of study and survey of this planet has enabled us to throw some light on these questions, although the answers that have emerged do admittedly require some suspension of disbelief. As the old Klingon adage goes: "You couldn't make this stuff up!"

We feel obliged to stress before you start reading this summary or the 895,537 page report that accompanies it [translator's note:: this "accompanying report" did not arrive with the message herein translated and it is not known what it contained specifically]that we did not make any of this up and we are not cranked up on venusian hypers, neither is this a spoof in celebration of the forthcoming festival of Montee Pi Thon.

Our findings are the inescapable conclusions that derive from our year of meticulously documented observation and study. We are, in other words, dead serious.

We feel equally obliged to apologize in advance for certain quirks you are bound to notice in our narrative: after 365 geosynchronous orbits of this planet just twelve miles above a native settlement called Los Angeles there has been some inevitable brain damage.

The three most notable symptoms we have experienced thus far have been loss of the ability to spell, loss of...can't remember the second one, we'll get back to you on that... and a shrinkage of our attention span down to a mere.

We are nearly out of toilet rolls so wish to remind Supplies to make sure a shipment of Blissful Rectum (yellow) goes on the next supply ship before we are forced to cannibalise the nappies built into the emergency space suits. Also a meteor strike punctured cargo pod 33, resulting on the venting of our entire supply of Scent of Chlorine air freshener into the interplanetary ether, so if you would tell.

Our conclusions about Earth's political system are as follows:

Earth does indeed have an emperor or equivalent potentate. All evidence points to control or attempted control by a single person (or entity).

Humans prefer to be controlled anonymously, by someone they cannot see. If they see the real controlling entity they are likely to go mad and become viciously cynical and sarcastic and make his or her (or its) life not worth living.

Humans therefore indulge in a perennial game called "politics" in which the real emperor hides from view and ordinary humans of average or below average intelligence pretend to be the leaders.

Being without something called "scruples" is required of anyone who aspires to the status of pretend leader (known variously as prime minister or president). We are not sure what these "scruples" are as we have not yet seen any in the course of our studies of the planetary tribal elites. It would appear they are very rare even though they all insist they have them.

All the remaining humans pretend they do not know any of this and honor the pretend leader according to custom by either deifying him or heaping abuse on him.

The pretend leader responds by a customary breaking of sacred tribal laws and then starting one or perhaps two wars with another tribe (or his own tribe if the other tribes are too busy) and then rapidly turning grey, aging prematurely, losing the ability to tell the truth and engaging in the customary rewarding of his pals known as "messing up the economy," before finally making way for a new pretend leader so the ritual can begin again.

The ousted pretend leader then spends time writing memoirs and "speaking after dinner" in which he pretends he was really a great statesman after all and "right all along" about almost everything.

The remaining humans meanwhile engage in a game called "Political Debate" in which they insult one another, hurl false facts at one another unencumbered by any obligation to know what they are talking about and explain how they could have run the planet better than the pretend leader (or the real leader, were they to admit his existence).

One of the evident advantages of this system is that the pretend leader and his accomplices give all the other humans someone they can feel superior to.

Once a pretend leader has been supplanted by a new pretend leader, the mass of humans then forget all the crimes committed by the ex-pretend leader while he was in power and "let him off" or give him lots of money, directorships and so forth.

The real emperor meanwhile continues to run the planet in peace. It would appear however that the real emperor is in fact a lunatic because, although allowed to run Earth's affairs without interference, he is evidently running the planet into the ground and trying to kill most or all of its population.

He appears too to amuse himself by inducing various large groupings of humans to fight and kill one another or he creates bad situations and watches the humans run around hysterically and somehow muddle through and keep the show on the road, rather in the way one pokes a hive with a stick.

This leads us to suspect that the hidden emperor may in fact be a god (albeit one in need of counseling) or perhaps a representative of another, alien, species that plans to settle the planet once it has gotten rid of the humans.

If the latter is the case, then we suspect a being from a planet with a hot, methane/carbon dioxide atmosphere such as Tharg, as much of Earth's industry at the service of the emperor appears already devoted to tharganizing Earth, with the process of tharganization about 25% complete.

Earth's political system, in summary has the hidden emperor at the top. Immediately below him (or it) in seniority is a stratum known as "banking" and immediately subordinate to the banks come entities called "multinational corporations," among which the makers of drugs figure prominently.

The purpose of drugs, which we will cover more fully later, is to lower the IQ of and socially incapacitate what the elite refer to as "riffraff." This serves the useful purpose of preventing ordinary members of the herd becoming "too clever by half" or actually paying attention to the world around them and helps them enter a peaceful state of zombyism or (preferably) death.

Below the cartels come the regional management entities operating as herdsmen that keep the somewhat unruly (unless drugged) humans in check. These are known as "governments" and it is these that are headed by the pretend leaders and which are presented to the human herds as the ruling entities. As indicated above, the humans then act as if they believe that the regional herdsmen, the "governments," are running things and blame them for everything.

All governments meanwhile blame all the other governments for everything. It is a tradition or perhaps instinct for everybody on Earth to blame everybody else and to assign the cause of any trouble to people or entities a long way off and (preferably) unable to defend themselves.

We note here that humans have evolved a strange quirk we call "contradiction blindness," in which they are able hold two conflicting ideas at the same time, believing both equally without apparently experiencing any adverse mental reaction apart from a vague uneasy feeling that the planet is being run by idiots.

By way of example, all humans fully know that one cannot believe anything one reads in the newspaper, while believing everything they read in a newspaper.

As we are developing a headache we pause here for a shot of Euphoricon and a brisk walk around the observation deck. We will resume this report in the next telemetric burst.

Teen Drug Addiction - Easy Ways to Tackle the Problem

Drug addiction is crippling the society these days. The worst thing about drug abuse is teenage involvement. Nowadays, a number of children are engaged to be addicted to dangerous drugs at tender ages. In addition, family members are unaware of the habits of their kids. With the easy availability of drugs, it becomes difficult to prevent young minds to prevent teenage addiction.

Among the most popular drugs are marijuana and alcohol that can actually ruin the future of any teenager. Many children get addicted to drugs and alcohol as they see someone in the family having these drugs. Many children try drugs due to heavy pressure from their peer groups. It is commonly seen that due to domestic violence or any other abuse, children try their hands in drugs as it gives instant relief. Some try as a result of curiosity and later on becomes addicted by taking frequent doses. Taking heavy doses at a regular interval can create a lot of trouble and thus, spoil the future life of a child. Thus, the need is to strictly follow measures that restrict the free sale of dangerous drugs and alcohol for children. Putting a ban on the easy access of alcohol and other harmful drugs can somewhat help in spreading of dangerous drugs in the market.

Education is the best way to create awareness on the topics such as alcoholism and drug abuse. Parents and teachers should discuss ill consequences of taking drugs. Children should be educated about pros and cons of alcohol and its impacts. Parents can check their behavior and habits as well. They should be conscious enough not to encourage any kind of drug use at home. They should also try to maintain a happiness and peace of home so that a child won't feel disturbed and alone. Make a healthy relationship with your child and together nurture a healthy and happy future.

Let's Focus on Helping Criminals Change!

The 1960s was a watershed decade in the United States, and maybe worldwide, and particularly the year 1968. For example, in 1961, voters elected John F. Kennedy as the nation's first president who was also a Catholic. That was the same year that Barack Obama was born on April 4 in Hawaii. On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King gave his now famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington. On Nov. 22 that same year President Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in downtown Dallas, Texas. Soon thereafter, Dallas police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, subsequently charging him with the gunshot death of a Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit, and the Kennedy assassination as well. Two days later Jack Ruby, a Dallas businessman, gunned Oswald down as he was being transferred from the police headquarters to the Dallas County jail. "

"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, July 2, 1964) was a landmark legislation in the United States that outlawed segregation in the US schools and public places. First conceived to help African Americans, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect women in courts, and explicitly included white people for the first time. It also started the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In order to circumvent limitations on the federal use of the Equal Protection Clause handed down by the Civil Rights Cases, the law was passed under the Commerce Clause. Once it was implemented, its effects were far reaching and had tremendous long-term impacts on the whole country. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment, invalidating the Jim Crow laws in the southern US. It became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Powers given to enforce the bill were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years."(From Wikipedia).

The National Voting Rights Act of 1965 (United States Code" outlawed the requirement that would-be voters in the United States take literacy tests to qualify to register to vote, and it provided for federal registration of voters in areas that had less than 50% of eligible minority voters registered. The Act also provided for Department of Justice oversight to registration, and the Department's approval for any change in voting law in districts that had used a "device" to limit voting and in which less than 50% of the population was registered to vote in 1964." (From Wikipedia)

On April 4, 1968, a gunman assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King as he stood on the balcony outside his room in the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, and 61 days later, June 5, 1968, a gunman shot presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy as he left a speaking engagement at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Kennedy died the next day.

The 1960s was a watershed decade for me personally. Convicted for the first time on Dec. 17, 1959, I spent most of the 1960s in and out of prison. I was released for the first time in May 1962 and was back in prison in August 1963. Released on parole in December 1965, I returned to prison in July 1966. My final release came on Dec. 9, 1968.

The nearly four decades since 1968 has been a watershed time in this country as well.

During the early 1970s, the nation's prison population was less than 250,000 inmates, but between 1970 and 2005, the number of prisoners ballooned eight-fold to more than 2.2 million incarcerated individuals. A report released in February 2008 by the Pew Charitable Trusts estimates that the number of prisoners will increase by 192,000 between now and 2012. This prison population growth could cost taxpayers another 27.5 billion.

In 1976, Charles Colson, a former aide to former President Richard M. Nixon, launched Prison Fellowship Ministries, now one of the oldest and largest efforts in the nation to reduce prison populations. Another such group, though not particularly faith-based, is a public policy organization in Washington, DC called C.U.R.E. (Citizens United (for the) Rehabilitation (of) Errants. This organization began in 1972 in Texas, and now operates internationally from its headquarters in Washington, DC. Just for transparency purposes, I am working to launch a C.U.R.E. chapter in North Carolina.

Here's a sampling of prison ministries, anti-recidivism programs and reentry efforts operating around the country. The year these programs launched is in parenthesis: (1893) Wheeler Mission Ministries, Indianapolis; (1954) St. Leonard's Ministries, Chicago; (1958) Teen Challenge International, Missouri; (1972) C.U.R.E., Washington, DC; (1976) Prison Fellowship, Washington, DC; (1992) New Horizons Ministries, Colorado, Islamic Health and Human Services, Detroit; (1993) Helping Up Mission--Spiritual Recovery Program, Baltimore, Detroit Transition of Prisoners (a PFM initiative); (1994) Prodigal Ministries, Kentucky; (1995) Conquest Offender Reintergration Ministries, Washington, DC, Inner-City Muslim Action Network, Chicago; (1996) Women At The Well House Ministries, Texas; (1997) Project Blanket, Pennsylvania; (1999) Episcopal Social Services--Network Program, New York; (2000) Amachi, Pennslyvania; (2001) Keystone Ministries, Mississippi, Men of Valor, California; (2002) Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency--Faith Community Partnership, Washington, DC. This sampling represents just the tip of an iceberg of various efforts designed to help criminals to become contributing citizens.

As you can clearly see, these various efforts--this reentry movement--as my good friend Joe Williams terms it-- have launched during the spectacular eight-fold growth of the prison population in the United States.

With that background, let's consider the central questions of this article: 1) Why have prison populations increased more than eightfold during the past 40 years, despite the gargantuan efforts of anti-recidivism programs and various other re-entry strategies? 2) Why have I managed to stay away from crime and prison for the past 40 years?

As I have observed, even worked alongside several of the anti-recidivism and reentry programs over the years, including some work with Prison Fellowship during the 1990s, I have concluded that far too many programs, ministries, etc. focus on changing the system, rather than helping criminals to change. I am certainly not denying that much about our failed criminal justice system needs changing. Rather, I contend that in order to move progressively along the Change Continuum, criminals must change whether the system does or not.

About 40 years ago, when I got out of prison, the deck was stacked high against a former criminal and prison inmate who was released and wanted to change. For example, I tried to enroll in two business schools in Durham, NC during 1969. Both turned me down. I knew, though, that I needed to become better educated, not because academic credentials would make my trek from crime to contribution any easier, but because I needed the knowledge and the understanding to continue my progress toward personal transformation. Therefore, I mapped my own educational program, learning to conquer challenges as they appeared before me. By contrast, I got my first job after prison just two weeks following my release--Dec. 24, 1968. I worked as a member of the janitorial crew at the long since defunct Jack Tar Hotel in Durham.

Now as I reflect on 40 years of the following four trends, I see a clear conclusion. Before I share the conclusion, consider the four trends: 1) the eight-fold growth of prison populations; 2) the roller coaster like increase and decline of crime rates; 3) the steady growth of anti-recidivism and reentry programs; 4) my personal transformation from criminal to contributing citizen. Now the conclusion: I have succeeded in the arduous trek from crime to contribution because I changed, whether systems improved or not.

For the remainder of this article, I share with you my personal change process. I recommend it highly for anyone who wants to successfully negotiate the Change Continuum.

Near the beginning of my transformation process, I adopted a personal mission statement that I have refined and expanded several times since adopting this core value: "My personal mission in life is to win the war of self by learning to fully live in the seven freedoms that Jesus, the Christ, purchased for us with His death on the cross millennia ago. In this context, I define "self" as the residue impact of my sinful nature that remains primarily in my memory, following my miraculous new birth as a child of God. The seven freedoms are as follows: 1) Freedom to live fully in the Word of God; 2) Freedom to live fully by faith; 3) Freedom to live fully, trusting in the hope of the gospel; 4) Freedom to live fully according to the principles of love; 5) Time freedom; 6) Financial freedom; and 7) Debt freedom.

During the 40 years of my personal transformation, I've learned to build my new life on the foundation of a set of core values that I've termed the 40 Powerful Principles of Transformation. I learned to organize these 40 principles into the following seven categories: 1) The thinking and perspective principles; 2) The effectiveness principles; 3) the planning principles; 4) the continual action principles; 5) the daily application principles; 6) the C.A.R.E. principles; 7) the T.E.A.M principles.

I am working on an E-book that explains these principles in detail. I plan to have it ready by my 40th anniversary--Dec. 9, 2008. In summary, it all boils down to this: let's teach criminals how to change, whether systems change or not. I have learned that I can live successfully, even when surrounded daily by people who fail.

I have spent almost 40 years mastering the principles of how to stay out of crime and prison. I am now an expert and I want to share this expertise with others. For more information, please visit http://www.miltoncjordansr.com/index.cfm?id=4901&fuseaction=browse&pageid=55
