Of Greece And Iceland

It is at the point where pain becomes too much to endure that we begin to seek solutions. Greece has been in economic pain for quite some time. Because of tremendous debt to the banks and austerity measures, unemployment is high while benefits are being cut. The screws have been put to the Greek people by the European Union in order to continue to squeeze every last bit of money from Greek pockets for the benefit of the banks. Look out, folks! The pain in Greece has become so bad they are on the verge of pulling an Iceland!!!

Greeks have already spoken out with their "No!" vote on bailing the banks out again. (This, to me, was an amazing feat in and of itself as I am convinced that most votes/elections have been rigged by the powers that be for years!!!) Now, as the European Union struggles to keep Greece within the fold and paying, the people are of Greece are speaking out against a new bailout deal using the term, "This is a coup." That's pretty strong language coming out of the seat of democracy!!!

This is it. This is the turning point. Either the Greeks accept the fact that the banksters (aka the European Union) are calling the shots and turning them into total serfs, or they will have to take a stand for change. They will have to make a stand for freedom and revolution.

Do not let the term revolution put you into fear!!! Even though history has shown us revolutions are violent, they do not have to be!!! The key here is to pull an Iceland. The good people of Greece have finally begun to wake up to the reality that is the banking industry. Like everywhere else, Greece has been sold fake loans that take more money from the people and place it in the hands of the banksters. The pain is so great they are rebelling against it. Just like the people of Iceland, Greece now has the chance to free themselves from the mafia!!!

It is time for the people of Greece to stand up to the banks once and for all!!! It is time for them to remove the threats to their politicians!!! It is time for them to nationalize their banks and bring back the drachma (indeed, there have been reports the drachma is once again in use in parts of Greece). It is time to prosecute and imprison all those bankers and politicians that stood to gain from draining money from the country!!! They may even need to write a new constitution.

Iceland shows us this change is possible!!! It may not be pretty at first. The Greek people will have to tighten their belts and rely on themselves for a while. Fortunately for them, they still have a wonderful tourist industry which can bring in much needed revenue from others countries.

Once the Greek domino has completely fallen, we will all be ready for the next countries to complete their transformations!!! As we have looked to Iceland--as we now look to Greece, know that change is coming! Do not fear that change, for what is coming is far better for the people of planet Earth than anything we can imagine now!!! Continue to hold the light!!!

What If We Woke Up Tomorrow And Everything Changed?

What if we woke up tomorrow and all our banks were closed and our money was worthless? How would be get food and the things we need to survive? Would our water and electricity work? Would we still be able to get on the internet and use our cell phones? Would we still go to our jobs? Would we still try to pay our bills?

We have been told our world would erupt into chaos, that without the rules and laws and authorities we follow we would become unthinking animals who fight for existence. It's all about survival of the fittest! Every apocalyptic movie I've seen or book I've read seems to say as much.

Is that true? Would we use our guns to fight for food and water and territory? Or would we find ways for ourselves and our fellow beings to survive?

The fear and chaos scenario has been provided to us by the powers that be so that we will not be tempted to stray from their system. If we believe ending something will not turn out well, we will be unlikely to let it happen. That's why we allowed the bankers to get away with bailouts here in the United States. We were told those businesses were "too big to fail"--that ALL of our jobs and businesses were on the line if these particular businesses went belly up. Lies, lies, and more lies!!! We don't need to bail out these big businesses any more than Europeans need to live under "austerity". (Ironically, the money in both scenarios goes to the same place--the banks!!!)

The time is quickly approaching where we will face a choice: survival or destruction. We can all decide to work together and live together, or we can choose to allow those apocalyptic scenarios play out and fight for survival.

Choosing survival may not be easy at first. The material things we all currently have access to may not be as easy to come by. Here in the US, we may not even be able to obtain things like coffee as we don't directly produce it in this country and will need to negotiate trade deals with other countries to get them.

Understand that our survival will require new ways of thinking!!! Do the bankers still own everything? (My personal thoughts along those lines are that Mother Earth provides her resources freely for those on the planet. Shouldn't everyone be able to benefit from them instead of just a few?) How can we all have what we need? What is the worth of each soul?

We have the ability to work together to survive. Along the way, we may just come to the understandings we need to not only survive but thrive! The choice is ours!!!
