I just had a light bulb moment with a friend from Occupy on the phone and it became quite clear what the problem is and why the little guy is losing and always will be if they don’t wake up and do what needs to be done. Simple. Its all about the math! End of story. The people need to learn to be Selfish. Selfish as far as the 1% goes and others who are not awake go.

Every penny, every ounce of energy, every crumb of resource needs to be accounted for. An inventory needs to be taken of what the people have, what each individual person in the “community” has, skills, energy, equipment and focus it like a LASER beam on the solution.

In the conversation with this friend it became clear to me why the little guy is his own worst enemy and will never lift themselves up. Because they waste energy where it should not go, bail out people who need to be held accountable. They don’t know how and don’t seem prepared to do what has to be done. They want to afford luxury attitudes that they simply cannot afford.

I wrote in a previous post about Portugal and how they finally were ready to genuinely solve their rampant drug abuse problem in the year 2000 where 1% of the population was addicted to heroine. The PM and others got a panel of doctors together to put together the best drug treatment program and vowed to do what ever these doctors told them to do. That’s it. You have to just take a close, honest look at the problem, do the math, put together solutions and do what needs to be done. Portugal legalized all the drugs and took all the money they spent on criminalizing the drug abusers and put it all towards the treatment program the doctors developed. The drug use went down by 50%.

Its not so hard if people really want to solve problems. Reading Barbara DeAngelis books on healing relationships she also had VHS tapes at the time of couples engaging in active listening skills, mirroring techniques and other skills to help clear out the emotional baggage that built up before and after they met.

That’s just it, how many couples are willing to do that? How many people care enough and want to work on their marriages enough to practice these skills? In order to get money I had to give up who I was since I was a kid in my house. To have a roof over your head and clothes on your back you had to be a slave and thank your parents for not aborting you. I expressed how I needed to retrain myself and not give up who I was for a job and money. This was the way to turn things around.

Poor Perpetrators of Torture

We live in a system where injustice and corruption have accumulated So much leverage that the its inconceivable for the innocent people being criminalized to hold the real criminals accountable? Have I gotten that right? Talk about climate shift! Why is that? We have those in the White House being revealed by the Senate CIA Torture report that they, our own government, tortured those held indefinitely, without trial at Guantanamo Bay, as Dick Cheney, John Brennan and Donald Rumsfeld all getting away with clear war crimes and there’s not even a chance of prosecution!

Meanwhile, our jails are filled! With innocent people being beat up, held in Solitary Confinement, tortured and put into debt while they’re in there for basically, being normal and having reasonable responses to the horrible things that happened to them that are created by those we won’t prosecute! Its the same argument over Chris Kyle in American Sniper. Those perpetrating the crimes acting for those at the top are just as responsible. Ignorance is not an excuse. The powers that be will not afford us the same luxury!

Every ounce of energy needs to go to the people! They need to engage and pull up on themselves and not allow ANY Slacking! The slightest letting down of one’s guard is enough leverage the powers that be need to continue grinding up more innocent people up in their machine.

Greece vs. Those Poor Perpetrators

ALL energy and support must go where its needed. On those getting screwed! Period! Like in Greece. The Finance Minister woke up to the Ponzi Scheme. He knows that Greece didn’t even see the money they supposedly borrowed and all they got was the Debt. Exactly what John Perkins talks about in Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Greece will not turn out like Portugal if those involved don’t Genuinely want to solve the problem and take Politics out of the equation and just deal with it from a basic HUMAN standpoint.

Greece is seeing the problem and Does want the problem to end and is taking steps towards getting out of the abusive relationships with the banks and investors who don’t really want Greece free from debt. Who benefit from keeping them in it like they try do to every other vulnerable country and culture in the world. Being in the NOW, and dealing with those right in front of you, holding those accountable who are right in front of you and not diverting the problem just to those in the “white” house or the heads of Corporations and banks.

The answer is right in front of our faces. We cannot afford to not hold those responsible to account. Every time we don’t, it gives them that much more leverage to do it to us and condemn the next innocent person! Its basic physics.
