The collapse of the western world has begun.
The 1st modern country to collapse, Iceland has officially declared bankruptcy.
Iceland Bankrupt - BusinessWeek.com
Iceland Bankrupt - New York Times
The government looks to the World Bank and the IMF to rescue them, but the people are already experiencing terrible panic and distress.
Better off countries are considering 'buying' Iceland at distress prices.
Other countries looking down the long dark tunnel are reported to be several major middle eastern nations, topped by Saudi Arabia.
While the notion that the Saudi's could lose their oil centered economy was foolish only a few weeks ago, the drop in oil price to below $50 US a barrel signals a crisis condition because the Saudi's are heavily capitlized in external markets.
Certain insiders are saying the low price for oil will not change. It will remain low for six months or more, but no will (save the elite) will be able to enjoy it because the rest of the economy is in the tank.

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi - Thus Passes the Glory of the World.
Has the Glory of the World passed?
Is man's 'golden age' coming to a rapid and messy end?
Depends on who you ask. There are many who insist man is just now coming into his own.
That the stars lie just beyond our reach and we are shortening that gap and will soon bridge it.
That man's scientific achievements are opening doors never before dreamed of.
However, a growing number of people are convinced the opposite is true.
That the amazing accomplishments of the past decades, and those of previous centuries are the final blaze of glory of a creature lost in his own misapprehended magnificence.
The crumbling of the world's financial systems is but the latest evidence that things are not well in the throne room of his majesty - man!
But since man has chosen to ignore the claim God makes concerning his path in life, it shouldn't surprise anyone that God who has nothing to lose (when it's all yours, what's to lose?) is shaking the foundations he has permitted to stand this long.
The real question is 'will man humble himself and pray?'. History (and the Bible) say otherwise.
After all man has seized for himself the glory belonging to God alone.
Why wouldn't God, from whom all power flows, 'turn off the tap', stand back, arms folded, and say 'Go for it!?
God poured glory on the earth and man trampled it under foot.
Whether in nature, society, or religous practice, man has told God, "hey, I can do it myself".
Let's explore the metaphor of Parent and Child. Dad gives Johnny his allowance, along with an admonition to use it wisely. Johnny however decides he wants a new iPod and blows the whole wad (that's some allowance - I know!) instead of on the things he has agreed to use it for.
Why would anyone expect Dad to just keep on feeding Johnny's bad judgment?Consider Europe's boasting of it's huge scientific accomplishment in constructing the LHC in CERN. The 'Large Hadron Collider' was touted as man's greatest scientific experiment.
That it cost around $5 billion makes it the costliest too. Unless you take into account the billions upon billions poured into other 'toys' man has coveted and grasped at.
It's one thing to buy a toy when all the 'important' stuff is secured, but when millions starve to death, it seems just a tad incongruent to indulge ourselves and then congratulate ourselves on how advanced we are.Maybe, just maybe, Dad is saying Whoa!
That's enough of an uncomfortable concept to start with.
Do you think there is more to our financial dismay than meets the eye?

Strawman, Redemption, UCC Slavery
Uniform Commercial Code, Personal Property Security Act, The Strawman.
If these terms sound strangely legalistic to you, you are not alone. I consider myself to be quite well informed and I had no knowledege of these matters, until a few days ago.
So what you ask?
What does any of this have to do with me?
With my 'ordinary affairs of life?
Buying, selling, getting a job, getting married, having kids?
Well as near as I can determine it might be everything.
A few days ago I 'stumbled on' a site Redemption Service .com which suggested that the true state of affairs, completely hidden from the eyes of nearly everybody is that we are all slaves, sold into slavery by a system so incomprehensible, so Machivellian as to be pretty much indecipherable.
While the full explanation is way too long to layout here, but the general gist is this:
When a person is born, the parents sign a declaration of birth which when submitted to the government through the various channels and filed, is destroyed. The filing creates an 'imaginary' person, one who while appearing to be the person who was born, is different in some very significant ways.
According to a growing number of sites, (google "Strawman") a separate entity, which is not the real person called colloquially "The Strawman" was created and is distinguishable from the real person by the use of ALL CAPS in the expression of it's identity.
It is this "Strawman" which is able by virtue of the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to enter into agreements with other strawmen.
The goverment itself is such a strawman.
Once a strawman is created, it is an asset owned by it's creator and as such is marketable.
It can be bought, sold and traded. It has value as collateral and is used to secure loans against it future value, ie future earnings. It is your strawman who is required to pay taxes on earnings.
Since the real person does not 'legally' exist, and since the government strawman exercises transactions involving the personal strawman, and since the 'real person' is the only respondant to such transactions, the illusion occurs in which the identity of the one becomes virtually and de facto equivalent to the other.
If this sounds incredibly convoluted, it is. If it sounds too weird to be true, it just might be.
But wait, it gets even more bizarre!
According to these many sites, this situation can be 'Redeemed'.
What that means is the 'real person' can seize control through legal instruments, under the Uniform Commercial Code, which is stated as unbreakable, and render their 'Strawman' as their unique and private property.
This is equivalent to securing copyrights on both the real person's identity, and their strawman's identity. Holding copyright prevents the unauthorized use of the copyrighted property, with real penalties applied for violations.
The stated implications of this condition are these.
With the Strawman under the exclusive control of the real person, the real person becomes a freeman.
All extant agreements, liens and claims against the strawman, become subjected according to what is called an 'a priori' claim.
The real person has first claim on the worth of the strawman.
The net result is the freeman becomes king of his own domain and no longer subject to any claims of any entity.
There are reports of a growing number of people in Canada and the USA who are 'freemen'.
They are supposedly immune to taxes, and other claims against their real person, since no-one can use their strawman.
Now I've tried to encapsulate a very long elaborate discussion into a few concise paragraphs.
I'm also not a lawyer so I may have misinterpreted these matters.
I've probably misstated a few points and missed a few more altogther.
I have begun to gather the source documents referred to.
The Uniform Commercial Code , and it's Canadian equivalent, the Personal Property Security Act .These are long dense and confusing documents, and I frankly don't expect to be able to decipher them. These websites generally sell services and products which help the individual to process their own redemption. Prices vary from $30 to $1500.
I am extremely interested in knowing the truth about these matters and if any lawyer would care to comment it would be most welcome

Yet Another Boring Blog
Does the Internet really need another Blog?
Is there any point beyond vanity and chagrin to set ones ignorance on display for all to see and perhaps pepper with rotten fruits?Likely not, but when did honesty and practicality ever prevent bad taste or serve up good sense?I have no illusions as to the outcome of this folly. My successes in life have been minimal, my failures sufficient to seriously wound those who have trusted in me, those I truly love. Nonetheless, I must yield to this compulsion to expose my prejudice, my opinions, my knee-jerk reactions, if only to 'get it out of my system'.
I ask forgiveness in advance of any who might take offense at my thoughts, indulgence from those who perceive my immaturity, and kindness from the rich milieu who have nobly gone before and left an example impossible to follow.
I shall not attempt to 'copy' the slick pages of seasoned writers and editors, whose craft is as far removed from this effort as an ocean liner is from a sampan. Nor do I imagine I may ever gather a following with the insights and intelligence of those who contribute to the blog of a hero of mine Constance Cumbey (http://cumbey.blogspot.com/).
I shall simply attempt to create a stream of consciousness, into which I may pour the collected ramblings which puddle in my brain and from which any who care (or dare) may drink if they but stoop low enough to reach.
The prime topics of my ravings are the developments of World governments, especially that of the USA, Canada, and the European Union, and the many, many conspiracy theories which abound. I will likely wander into esoteric caves, where talk of New World Religions and perversions of Christianity are examined. I invite all who are constrained by civility to read and comment. And if civility fails to constrain to expect an intervention by a power greater than yourself, i.e. The Editor.
