That all depends on who "Me" is. And I believe you are right, the world really isn't the way it should be. We would have outpost on the moon and mars by now if it were.
Hah, you seem to know more about who the bad guys are then me. I've been refering to 'them' for about a decade without any idea who the bad guys really are. Just that the world isn't as it should be. I know never to trust the media, I don't eve watch television, listen to radio, read papers. Does terrible things to your head, man. >.< You seem to have it rather together
"'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation, and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a sense of security—religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these dominates man's thinking, relationships and his daily life. These are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man in every relationship."
Forgive the use of this term but, AMEN TO THAT!

Just found a fantastic quote that sums it ALL up. It's from Jiddu Krishnamurti (whom I'd never heard of until today):

In other words, Know Thyself.

You sir are spot on, congratulations my brother. I to figured this out around three years ago but I could never put it as simple and understanding as you have in this post. It reminds me of the kinds of stories you hear like a high ranking military officer commits suicide by shooting his self "5" times in the "BACK" of his own head!? It would be so easy for TPTB to just make it simple and accidental looking but to put it out there in the open, well, that is a message meant for you and me brother, (The Seers) peace
… what you are getting at here is well explored in the book Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein
The PROBLEM some people have with Conspiracy Theories about some ‘Power That Be’ controlling everything is that stuff is just so messy. How could anyone predict EXACTLY what is going to happen when the US invades Afghanistan under the premise that there are almost 50 al Qaeda members there when there are more than that in Jupiter Florida?
“Curtis points out that al-Qaida did not even have a name until early 2001, when the American government decided to prosecute Bin Laden in his absence and had to use anti-Mafia laws that required the existence of a named criminal organisation." --Andy Beckett for The Guardian, October 15, 2004
"Qa'ada" is the infinitive of the verb "to sit". "Ma-Qa'ad" is a chair. "Al-Qaeda" is the base or fundament of something. "Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to sit", pertinently, on the toilet bowl. Indeed, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".
The point is that a true War Profiteer doesn't need to plan anything. All they need to do is get one group angry at another
To give up following the society before you have the experience of the witness is dangerous; because with
society are associated its morals, its rules, regulations, limitations, organization and discipline. So society will
certainly become the master for one who is not yet his own master. Somebody has to control one who is not
his own master; some discipline is needed, otherwise all systems will go berserk, will become anarchic. But the one who has experienced his own being, the one who has experienced his witnessing, is himself his master in this world.
