The Dance of Greed

Quite a cute competition, competitive race/dance, between Greed and Science (previous post) coming to head, approaching the finals…… (cute – but for the untimely dead this last half century – collateral damage). Strangely, the science of ‘spirit’ (the bridge, the balance) did not make the race.

Greece – This Is What You Are NOT Being Told By The Media

Every single mainstream media has the following narrative for the economic crisis in Greece: the government spent too much money and went broke; the generous banks gave them money, but Greece still can’t pay the bills because it mismanaged the money that was given. It sounds quite reasonable, right?

Except that it is a big fat lie … It was the banks that wrecked the country so oligarchs and international corporations could benefit…… not only about Greece, but about other European countries such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland who are all experiencing various degrees of austerity. It was also the same big, fat lie that was used by banks and corporations to exploit many Latin American, Asian and African countries for many decades.

Unbelievably fantastic wonders of modern medicine and health ‘promise’ to our children and future generations. Four to six million dollars per treatment. Imagine 70 million (one percenters) (worldwide) people will be able to enjoy (afford) good health, while the other 6.9 BILLION, 6930000000, can go to hell.

Evolving a More Nurturing Capitalism: A New Powell Memo

Is it possible that evolutionary theory can explain how the U.S. came to have the highest levels of child poverty and economic inequality of any developed nation? I think it can. It also can help us evolve a more nurturing form of capitalism, one in which people are more caring and productive, and they place greater value on the wellbeing of every member of society.

We certainly have room for improvement. The U.S. has one the highest rates of child poverty among economically developed countries and it is harming our children. Families living in poverty have more conflict, which leads to childhood aggression and all of the social and academic failures that result from being aggressive.¹ When you are raised in poverty, it produces life-long changes in your physiology, which increases your chances of diabetes and death from heart attacks and strokes. Even if you escaped from poverty as an adult, you would have a 20 to 40% higher risk of developing heart disease.²

‘Capitalism is Mother Earth’s Cancer’: World People’s Summit Issues 12 Demands

A ‘cancer’ primarily for suppressing timely energy evolution stages required for sustainable survival, along with the necessary common sense and growing perception of the universe we live in.

A more refined view of E=MC2 discloses Light (C) as The Radius of Curvature of All Natural Law, equating to the kinetic energy equivalent of the mass energy of matter  –  meaning if a differential of energy equal to this quantity exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, the natural laws will be suspended. If the energy differential is in excess of the quantity C, the laws will appear to operate in reverse at that point.

The far more fundamental and simpler definitions of space time mass matter energy gravity become mandetory:

• The Quantity C: Possessing a Significance Far Greater than Attributed
• Gravity – As Viewed Through the Radius (VC)
• Space as Observed through the Curve of Radius Light
• Matter and Mass – Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass
• Beyond A Uni-Dimensional Perception of TIME
• The Nonlinearity of Physical Law
• Definition

Magic Money: How “Pump and Dump” Picks Your Pocket

What’s up with money and the markets? And how can you possibly prepare for what’s to come? Check out this user-friendly guide.

“Pump and dump” is a form of fraud that involves artificially inflating the price of an owned stock through false and misleading positive statements, in order to sell the cheaply purchased stock at a higher price. Once the operators of the scheme “dump” sell their overvalued shares, the price falls and all but the initial investors lose their money.

“Pump and dump” is making money on creating and bursting financial bubbles. According to my research, this practice is not only legal, it’s rampant. And this manipulation is not just happening with stocks, it’s going on in all kinds of markets, including with currencies themselves. Meanwhile, the economic sleight of hand reels in vast numbers of believers, risking their retirement funds, their homes, and their lives.

Exploding World Population of NO NEED minimalists – working slaves living with next to nothing

Continued exponential explosion in population growth, as global turmoil rocks markets, and business leaders’ outlooks and hiring plans down sharply. How could there continue to be such a drastic, impossibly berserk contrast between ‘markets’ and ‘population’ in modern times?

The only sane explanation seems to be, people want to eat less and less, while drastically cutting down on survival needs (hygiene, toiletries, ect) with 99% suppression of wants, desires, or luxury items………..“but this totally does not make sense. What other explanation could there be?”  

Could the cause be an economic structural design similar to Al Capone’s gambling joint?

A new study provides some evidence, and it points to years of falling wages, especially for workers at the bottom. “McKenna is the co-author of ”Occupational Wage Declines Since the Great Recession,” which found that when increases in the cost of living since the recession ended in 2009 are factored in, wages have actually declined for most occupations. The report also noted that this trend is decades old.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, 2014 Update: How the U.S. Health Care System Compares Internationally  U.S. ranks last, as it did in the 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004.

 

Executive Summary

The United States health care system is the most expensive in the world, but this report and prior editions consistently show the U.S. underperforms relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance. Among the 11 nations studied in this report—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States—the U.S. ranks last, as it did in the 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004 editions of Mirror, Mirror. Most troubling, the U.S. fails to achieve better health outcomes than the other countries, and as shown in the earlier editions, the U.S. is last or near last on dimensions of access, efficiency, and equity.

Rx R&D Myths: The Case Against The Drug Industry’s R&D “Scare Card”

• Significant expenses in the Drug Industry are tax deductible
• Drug industry’s effective tax rate is about 40 percent less than the average for all other industries

Medicine, Pills, Still Exploding Exponentially –  Skyrocketing Health-Care Premiums
Health-Insurance Rates Are Rapidly Increasing, With No End in Sight – By Jackie Judd April 25, 2002 — Jon Ward was stunned when a health-insurance agent told him his company’s premiums were going up 48 percent this spring.

 The drug industry claims its high profits are necessary in order to conduct expensive research and development. It spends more on research than any other industry. The federally funded National Institutes of Health may be the drug industry’s biggest benefactor. This government agency alone will spend more than $23 billion on research this year. And much of the research benefits the drug industry. “There’s no other industry in which you have so much public investment in the fundamental knowledge that enables … the development of the commercial industry itself,” said Dr. Bernadine Healy, who used to run the NIH. And how important is this publicly funded research to the industry? The NIH looked at the five top-selling drugs of 1995 in a report. It found that “NIH-funded research played a critical role” in discovering each one of those drugs. Similar to Existing Drugs A closer look reveals that much of the profits from prescription sales are not derived from breakthrough drugs, but rather from drugs that are similar to already popular medications. But, adding up all the drugs approved over the past six years, 80 percent of all those drugs were deemed by the FDA to be similar to what already exists. In other words, not a significant improvement.
