Just a Little Thought

I thought it was time to look at what is going on in the world today in a different perspective. I start with religions mainly because they go back as far as the history of mankind. It is my belief that there has to be some divine or spiritual element to the world, its existence and creation. I am not sure if any one religion is the correct religion. In fact it seems that they all share so many of the same stories and beliefs, I feel they were all born from the same original source.

I am not going to single any religion out as the problem is the same regardless of the religion. They all believe that their god, belief or ideology is the one and only true and correct belief, and therefore other religions are wrong or inferior. To protect these beliefs they in the name of their religion go as far as war, murder or terrorism. The moral beliefs and ways are forced upon others who believe differently. It is easier for others to conform to your beliefs than it is to revel in the true virtues that your religions actually represent. After all if the ideologies of ones religion make you right then that must make the ideologies of another’s wrong. Religions have become divisive and a core of hatred instead of inspirational and unifying. The Christian 10 commandments have become a rule book for others to live by, but those same that wish others to live by them fail to do so themselves.

Instead they break the rules and indulge in the seven deadly sins and use their religion as mask of virtue and righteousness even though they themselves are not what they preach or expect from others. Are the teachings of the Jewish or Islam, Mormon, Scientology faiths any different than the other Christian religions? No. Because they all feel they are the one and only correct religion and those that practice or believe any other religions are heretics, evil, immoral and need to be saved, converted or destroyed and find or create passages in the scriptures to show justification for their actions.
The sanctity, benevolence, ideology and divinity of the religions have been corrupted and lost beneath all the divisiveness they promote.

These traits carry over to every part of our modern society just as they did in the Roman Empire. Bush while president in talking about the Iraq war says our Christian god is on our side and will provide us victory, in essence just as Joshua and Isreal were given victory in Jericho. Is that not making it a religious war against the religion of Islam just as they have claimed this to be a Jihad?

Anyway- Back to modern day society.

The Banking, Housing and financial scandals are all born out of greed and corruption. The banks and financial companies involved made deals that they knew could not be paid for by their customers they made the deals with. They knew they would have to absorb defaults because of their practices. They were bailed out by their customers the taxpayers and they continue the same practices. Now with Credit cards they are raising rates to levels they know will push customers to default. Instead of maintaining a steady guaranteed profit margin and maintaining a happy customer base that will use their product they are using greed and corruption to line the pockets of CEOS and stock holders and destroying their customer base. They too will fail if they continue on this path of corruption, and already would have had the taxpayers,their customers, not bailed them out.

The fight for Health Care has so clearly portrayed all the problems. Like in the financial problems, those making the rules, our government are themselves being bought off to protect the needs of the industry. They care more about the lobby money they receive and represent those interests to retain their jobs instead of working to meet the needs and wishes of those that elected them. The companies themselves are making the deals and then changing the terms. Pharma is raising their prices to cover the cuts they agreed to make once again hitting their customers. Insurance companies are on track to strangle the economy with skyrocketing costs. They all are doing everything to wring the very last penny from the blood of the people before their empire collapses.

Resolving the financial and health crisis has created battles between the Liberals and Conservatives, media and the general population of the world. The arguments have become as divisive as any religious battle and escalated fears,hatred,bigotry, greed, selfishness and racism. What we are seeing is a society collapsing under the same weights that religions have failed in. We are witnessing a society where the values of greed, personal egos and self worth trump values of compassion and a common good that should benefit and unify us all. We have instead become a society heading down a path of corruption and revolution or total collapse. And no one seems to be listening or cares because everyone is right and everyone else is wrong. Who knows maybe the Mayans were right and they were foretelling our path to self destruction.

A million infected in Ukraine flu epidemic

That was the headline from an AFP news article posted Tuesday 11/11/2009.

Today RiaNovosti News reports 1.2 million and 213 dead.

What is alarming is these rates are about 10 times the rates of what is going on in the rest of the world with the H1N1 flu. There are reports of it being Hemorrhagic Pneumonia or the Pneumonic Plague.
WHO has only accounted for 70 cases of H1N1 and 17 deaths to H1N1. Thats a big difference to 1.2 million sick,53,000 hospitalized and 213 dead. They are staying steadfast that this outbreak is all the H1N1 and nothing else. That is about all you will find in the coverage of this in any Mainstream press.


A Commentary "Suspected Hemorrhagic Pneumonia Outbreak Hits Ukraine"
by Stephen Lendman of the Baltimore Chronicle and Sentinal 11/11/2009 Does a good job of filling in the rest of the stories and speculations going on with this epidemic.

I find some of the reports like planes flying overhead spraying the virus a bit to much conspiracy fear mongering but I still have to question why is so much of the news and coverage of this so hush hush.
Reports of Schools, Towns, Borders all being closed, Martial Law Declared.
What is the real story and why is their Flu 10 times more virulent than what the rest of the world is experiencing. Is this a new mutated strain that the rest of the world will be up against next??? The time is way overdue for WHO and Mainstream media to start filling in blanks and dispelling rumors.

I found this section Of the Global Research web site full of very compelling reading regarding the H1N1 flu.
