He has a glibness - no doubt influenced by the fact that he's doing stand-up comedy. Whether one agrees with him or not, I think it's fair to say that this is the up and coming zeitgeist in the US - and the episode with BP surely goes into the pot. Because now, fascinatingly, there is massive minimizing afoot, and what I see happening is the phenomenon he describes: ".....And nobody seems to notice. And nobody seems to care....."

"Gee, it was just a little oil ... and who cares if the chemicals used impacted on the life of the Gulf..."

Certainly on this issue he's right on the money.

With both matters - the 'club' know exactly what they are doing, although the absoluteness of their control is a myth.
And the utter stupidity of the average person who doesn't get it that these people are out to screw them while distracting them with 'values' and pure lies.

We have an election happening here which I can't understand at all - I and no one else from what I see, understands why people are polling the way they are.

But what stands out is the obvious duplicity of Right politicians, followers and media. They know perfectly well they are there to bring the bacon home for the wealthy 'club', while bare-faced lying to the public that they are there to help them.

What then happens is curious. Some of the public get sub-consciously upset at being lied to, so the Right steps in and agrees with those people but says that all politicians are liars. These people in the spirit of fairness agree, then drop out of the voting process if they can. The Right are happy because at least they don't go to the Left.

All politicians are duplicitous - it comes with the job - but the issue is in the degree of duplicity. The Left have to deal with all the forces within society, but they as a general rule seek to distribute wealth more fairly. The Right have no interest in that whatsoever, and live under the principle of 'every man and women for themselves'. The Left always have this personal battle with conscience, while the Right have no conscience troubles at all.

What attracts people to the Right is their sense of gung-ho and the feeling that everything is easy and fun, or conversely easy and evil. It's entertainment basically, and the Right are great entertainers. The Left by comparison are bogged down in concerns about how to make things work in the best way - they are boring because they are too conscientious. People tire of that after awhile.

In Australian political setting, I am again finding the rising bilious sense of despising human beings. They are so stupid and idiotic, but unfortunately they are the same all over the world. So there's no where to run to. I just have to shift dimensions like Juhani.

But as Julie pointed out, the world is losing so many people who are shifting dimensions, that the field is left for those who are out to screw everyone except themselves. Sensitive people who know things could/should be different, are opting out of the mind-slime of human affairs. Only the rouges are left.

Such changes are no cause to be happy, however...

...2012 signifies the midnight of 26,000 year Galactic Day. Some say that the fresh and joyful energies needed for morning to come are already pouring in - no argument with that - but there are millenia of utter and deepening darkness ahead before dawn. Years ago, at another place, while discussing one particular big dream seen by many on different continents, it was said that a cycle is ending in this place and sweeping changes are coming.

All those different incarnated beings simply do not fit and probably cannot co-exist together and some are to leave.
