The Real Deal; Part 5

Today, we will look at the final solution that I am aware of, short of an all out Civil War among the American people. Many believe that this solution is not at all possible, but I am here to tell you that the naysayers are wrong. Their position is fundamentally flawed, and I will tell you why. This is a very simlified version of what is taking place, but to fully explain it all would take years. Just rest assured that some changes will take place, and they will be drastic changes. The hourglass is nearly empty. So, we are where I thought we would be all along, at

The Intervention of America's Most Powerful People

It has long been my belief that many of America's powerful elite, the people that hold vast amounts of wealth in this country and have held that wealth for many generations, will step in and save America from herself. The opposing view is that these people will do no such thing. The opposition says that due to their wealth, intervention will not occur because the money men can simply pull up stakes and live happily ever after on a peaceful offshore island, or sip scotch in some far away land. Granted, they could certainly afford to do this very thing, but they won't. They won't because they do not want to, and they are interested in saving America for their children and grandchildren and generations to come. This is their country too, their families legacies were built here, and they will not stand by and watch her fall without doing everything within their power to prevent the dismantling of the United States of America. To abandon America, they would also have to abandon the power positions that they have long held. They would be forced to separate and start over, scattered around the globe. This is not acceptable to them, so here is what is happening.

We are on a rapid course towards financial extinction. Between our startling deficits and overwhelming trade deficits, short of cancelling our debts to ourselves and other nations, our economy will not survive if drastic changes are not made in the very near future. Those that have the most to lose are those that hold the most money, thus the greatest power brokers in this country. I'm not talking about Governmental positions of power such as those held by Boosh and Cheney, but the behind the scenes ability to force necessary change in the entire power structure of American Government. These people lie outside any structure, other than structure of their own making. People without proper security clearances, yet can nonetheless meet with Boosh or Cheney simply by making a phone call. And, they have made the phone calls and met with Cheney.

If anyone thinks for one second that these "power brokers" are going to stand by and watch an incompetent President and his cronies destroy the American economic structure, out of a misguided and impossible strategy to bring "democracy to the world," said people are simply not dealing with reality. The single most important flaw in this thinking, is in ignoring that should the US economy fail, the chances are at least 50/50 that the World Economy will fail along with it. Removing the US from the world's economic equation is a roll of the dice for the rest of the world, but to take such a gamble is looking more and more like a risk they feel is their best option. They are fed up with us. Thus, the need for intervention from America's most powerful people.

People with "Rockefeller type money" (I am using Rockefeller simply because it frames the type of standing involved, not suggesting that any Rockefeller member will be involved) understand that the idiocy of staying the course in Iraq, along with the financial plan that Boosh has laid out for America, is certain to fail. We cannot continue to borrow and spend money at the rate we are currently doing so. Regardless of whether we are "at war," as Boosh claims, a war of choice, these people realize that Boosh has failed with every policy he has put forth, from Social Security Reform to the Katrina response to the War, and all in between. That being said, our economic future is what these people are interested in. They do not care whether or not the Iraqi's have a democratic government, nor do they care whether the Neocons insane thoughts about essentially taking over the world succeed or fail. What they do care about is assuring that their dollars are spendable 10 years from now, and forever. That is why they must, actually already have, begun to act.

Dick Cheney has been told that the game is up. Many deals have already been cut, and more are to follow. Cheney's exit strategy is being laid out as we speak. He will develop an illness that will require his "unfortunate resignation" and he will fade into the sunset. Shortly thereafter, Boosh will too resign and his entire surrounding cast will go with him. What will follow? I am not sure, but you can rest assured that the constitution will NOT be followed in determining a successor. It will likely be a power sharing structure of some sort, between Democrats and Republicans, with the instigators of this move staying in the background, telling them exactly what to do. For how long? Until we can regain our footing, and assure those that percipitate this that nothing similar will occur in the immediate future. The masses will learn the specifics when it becomes necessary, but the specifics will be sparce. The whole truth will likely never be known.

What is unknown currently is how aware Boosh is of the new program. Viewing his actions over the past few months, it appears that Cheney has told him of their looming departure, and that Boosh is putting up some resistance. I first noticed this some 2 months ago when Boosh became blatantly crass, striking out at everyone in his path. He was incessant in shouting that his way was right. Lately, though, he seems much more resigned to the outcome. He sounded less than enthuiastic this past week when announcing alleged "good news" about the economy, good news that is bullshit by the way.

In case you haven't noticed, Boosh has been doing a lot of globetrotting lately. With the exception of his public acceptance in Mongolia, the doors have, for all purposes, been slammed in his face during all other visits. During his visit to Argentina, his "trade plan" was summarily rejected by all in attendance. During his visit to China, outside of the Olympic bike ride, the trip was void of even the minimal photo op's afforded to all President's who have visited in the past. He was also not allowed to hold a press conference. And so it goes. His power has been stripped. He keeps up the facade, but he is done.

Critics of this position say that to believe that these powerful, wealthy elite care about the average American is naive. And, they are right, I agree wholeheartedly. These people don't care about you or I. We will simply get to ride their coattails and reap the benefits of their actions.

You are witnessing history, along with the long reach of the tenacles of true power, power that does not require a vote or an appointment to be earned. And you will witness the price that has to be paid for such intervention. The bankruptcy bill, the price of oil, the reductions of available health care and education money available to those in need, the increase in the interest rates, all play a part in the price to be paid. This plan is not something that is construed overnight, and has been playing out for some time. Like I have said many times before, it will not be painless, nor should it. After all, these folks don't work for free. Simply put, we get a single, one time reprieve from having been blind and igonorant to what is going on in the world as a whole, and in America in particular, for a long time. After this, we are on our own.

We must accept the responsibility for our own welfare, and to do that we must wake up and pay attention to the real world. The world that exists outside our families, our friends and our schools and churches, outside the boxes that we live in surrounded by picket fences. We must make certain that never again is an administration allowed to monopolize thought, domestic and foreign policy, and cast caution to the wind while being "led by God" to do so, without oversight. We must stop the greed, cronyism and immoral actions of our leaders. We must stop corporations and the religious right from deciding who our elected officials will be. And finally, we MUST learn the lessons of our recent failures.

Will we? I have my doubts. I think that after the shock of another Presidential resignation wears off, we will revert to the same old American way, never realizing that we were pulled from the brink of destruction by people who will never be seen. We will just write it off as a corrupt administration being brought down by a government system that allegedly worked as designed, which is the farthest possible thing from the truth. Most people will never know what happened, and we'll be right back here in another 20 or 30 years. Will we have the descendants of our current Savior's willing to step in then? For my daughters sake, I hope so.
