[macro moves] the game plan at the moment

You've probably seen the quantum shift overnight in this country I live in, in line with the other major moves globally:

# EU consolidating power through the constitution and Merkel speaking of war;

# Definite moves for North American Union [it's not interesting debating this with ostriches any more - for a start, look at the NAFTA Highway and then check out the raft of legislation];

# China hell bent on getting ready by the start date - look at their highway and seaports;

# Iran, Korea and India all scrambling for position;

# Russia flexing its muscles and handing over yesterday to a new kind of power;

# The privately controlled Fed and ECB creating mass indebtedness to themselves these current days;

# Housing crisis through unsustainable salary-cost imbalances;

# Massive credit and mortgage debt to bodies in thrall to the central banks;

# Draconian legislation being forced through in the EU, America and Britain;

# Doubts on ocean bed oil reserves, especially in the middle-east;

# The coming drinking water crisis - look at the Euphrates damming for example;

# The terrorist card being played for all it's worth in the west, along with the climate change card;

# Disintegration of western social systems and the infiltration of Islam;

# The urgency of it all - haven't you seen the way legislation is constantly being put into place but either utter silence, incompetence or lukewarm responses prevailing on human needs things which really do matter?

Much of this is not in dispute by pundits. What is in dispute is what has caused it, where it's going and who's behind it. This blog lays the blame squarely at the feet of The Ancient Money and its accolyte The Finance and has backed up this assertion many times.

This one source [in terms of its nature though the participants vary] has always been the stirrer up of trouble throughout history, from the Crusades through to Vietnam and Kosovo and all wars are directly attributable to its meddling and its financing of anti-human causes.

So what has changed? What's different today?

The blogosphere is here - the ability for us to link to each other and for the truth to get out instantly. However, what happens when it does get out? A number of things are also happening in the sphere:

1. The number of blogs is currently exponentially increasing, most chasing those elusive stats - everyone is a pundit now;

2. A core of "career bloggers", who are in it for the money, expand their contacts to the point they're invited to prestige publications and hey presto - they're MSM, which is bought;

3. The U.S. is already trying to create a two tier system of pay blogging where all the good things are and where the major pundits are ….. and the vast mass of 50 a dayers whose eyes are not on other 50 a dayers but on the big pundits - they get frustrated and drop out or sit muttering in the corner;

4. The blog craze eventually fades and I see signs that it already is doing so - it seems not to have picked up to the same extent after the summer;

5. The Power has therefore "de-toothed" the blogmonster and pesky ne'er-do-wells and malcontents like myself are eventually either mopped up or no one listens to them any more.

  1. I hope that this regressive blog trend you're noticing is a fluke. We've never needed blogging more than we do today.

  2. The situation in Wales is somewhat better. There are a couple of payed Labour troll-bloggers, but fortunately they're not too bright (sometimes astoundingly so). Meanwhile real bloggers are having an impact on the agenda here.

  3. The ability of independent bloggers to compete will depend heavily on their ability to make part of a living from it.

    I think you are overstating the "blogging has not revived after the summer" a touch.

  4. Ok, I agree with much of what you say here.

    So, I'll comment on the only bit we can do anything about.

    Point 4 of your future fears.
    Yes, I noticed the slowness picking up after summer.
    But this has good, as well as bad.

    The bloggosphere HAS acheived the state now, where yes, Everyone's a pundit, but the good thing is, the thinking ones are reading eachother.
    And they are read by people who would NEVER OTHERWISE read that sort of thing.

    THAT@S significant.

    The chatroom crowd who started blogging to meet people, be amusing, etc, are getting bored and are finding other things to do?

    But look how many stay.
    Problem is, it's easy for those of us who can see good in this medium, to fall into the malaise of not blogging because nobody's reading it anymore and not go visiting either, because we think only a few people will have posted.

    Cause and effect.
    I've been guilty myself lately.

    But we can't allow that. It is our responsibilty as thinking adults to use this medium to all its full potential and make the bloggosphere the greatest debating theatre our species has ever seen.

    Time for Bloggosphere Phase Two.
