The 'Natives' (Taxpayers) Are Getting Restless!

By George R Harrison for theShamansTent.com & money-tigers.com

Posted: February 1, 2010

Hello everyone and thanks for your continued support.

This week I'm excited to be calling attention to another in the growing list of indicators that something odious is about the hit the fan nationwide and, perhaps in other nations around the world as well.

I think the generations now living are starting to awaken to the brazen robbery that has taken place and is threatening to grow ever larger if they don't begin to act.

You can now see the beginning sparks of a fire which will eventually consume these rascals. We see it in the endless media stories of bankers greed and bonus payoffs. We are now seeing it even in our newspaper cartoons:

 I have no charts with which to plot these economic rumblings, but, I've seen enough events in enough diverse places to ferret out a new and growing trend which will not be ignored for long!

I report them here because it has great bearing on the economy and the markets I believe. The politicians are trying to ignore it. The talking heads and experts in the media refuse to acknowledge it and government is too ponderous, greedy and self-concerned to care. But, the People do care. And, they're beginning to stir.

A new revolution has started to smolder right here in the USA.

The People are starting to stand up and say "NO" to the bankers, gangsters and politicians!

Prior to this point, many had wondered if there was any spark left in the American people.

Why were there no people in the street massing towards the white house and congress?

Had people just stopped caring or had they perhaps stopped believing in government and their interests being properly represented by those in government.

Some speculated that the will for freedom had vanished long ago and been replaced by consumerism and greed.

I believe that to be wrong and, these last few weeks have pointed out the new direction that will be gaining momentum from this time forward until some sense of justice and control has been restored to the institutions of society and government.

Starting with the 'audit the Fed' moves to open up the secrets of the central bank that is run by bankers who are even more corrupt than their better known brethren like Goldman Sachs, etc., it is now spreading to unpredictable election results in States where a single party has had a 'lock' on election results for decades.

There's a strong and growing call for the People to take action. There appear to be now some clear means of doing just that.

People are now converging on the option of voting to 'throw the bums out'. It isn't a vote of confidence in another party, it's a vote of no confidence in either party!

They're acting to end incumbency and to try to limit the corruption by limiting a politician's time in office.

And, that's not the only area either. In Iceland, the People of the entire Nation are preparing to make the international bankers eat dirt instead of steak by not repaying the crooked loans that were foisted upon them without their consent.

And, in the US, one of the most recent movements and one which we should embrace in my opinion, is our returning back to our local banking community and taking our money out of the 'too big to fail' corrupt bail-out bankster crowd.

Here's a video that sums it up nicely:

To learn more about a successful model of how every state can start to get out of it's budget deficit problems, read about the only state that has done so since 1919:

The Bank of North Dakota.

This bank, owned by the State of North Dakota, has produced a billion dollar surplus for the People of North Dakota not to shareholders and CEOs of a megabank.

They did this by making loans that support the People of the state instead of shipping money and jobs out to the East Coast or overseas.

It's been a well-kept secret and you can learn more about it here.

Hope you enjoyed the video and give the idea some thought. - George

A New Year, A Familiar Calendar

Written by George R Harrison for www.theShamansTent.com

2010 Calendar = 1954 Calendar

Everything old is new again (and vice versa). Yes, the days ahead in 2010 may be a complete unknown to us, but, we can rest in the truth that we've been through this calendar cycle before and survived it just fine.

Say, in 1954 for example.

Every date in 1954 lines up to the very same day and date of our present (and unknown) 2010 calendar.

So, there's nothing to fear. In fact, we can, if we choose to, adopt a kind of historical sympathy with 1954 and what seem like 'good ole days' compared to our times.

Calendar for 1954

You can have a really nice printer-friendly 1954 calendar by clicking on the 1954.

(Same as for 2010) Calendar generated on www.timeanddate.com/calendar

The Days and Dates are the same, but, the feelings and experiences of 1954 are completely different from those of 2010 I'm sure you'd agree.

I like to use different year equivalent calendars to keep in touch with the concept of "times and seasons". A little meditation on the past and, in some small way, relating to another Time and the people of the era.

We're all One People separated only by the illusion of time and space.

Space allows us to have cultural distinctions and communities within which to grow spiritually.

Time allows us to separate out the larger cultures called civilizations and nations and get a more solid sense of continuity. A little reminder of the Eternity from which we came and to which we go periodically, rhythmically and constantly.

In a larger sense then, I like to use the old and future calendars to get a sense of the rhythmn of Life.

It's hard to feel too self-important when confronted with the evidence of forces much greater than our own.

And, that's what "Time" represents.

It's not a belligerent force at all, but, more like a rhythmic wave on which we can choose to surf elegantly, even poetically.

Of course, if we struggle against Time's rhythms, we can just as easily thrash, tumble and fall. It's a skill in the end.

Either way, the waves of Time and Season will continue to propel us along on our assorted missions in this life.

Why not make it a good ride?

A really, really good ride. - George

P.S. - You can have a really nice printer-friendly 1954 calendar by clicking on the 1954. Enjoy.
