A prime indicator that we've reached Moronity is how we regard evidence. Take 9/11 for example, WTC 7 in particular. When the essentially undamaged massive steel building collapsed into its own footprint at nearly free fall speed, that was irrefutable evidence of controlled demolition. Such precision demolition takes a lot of preparation; days or even weeks of placing charges, and wiring them in perfect sequence. So the evidence clearly shows that WTC 7 was rigged for demolition well in advance of 9/11, which means that 9/11 was no surprise.
That simple bit of the obvious is enough to destroy any credibility of the official story of the "surprise terrorist attack"-. But there's so much more. Clear evidence of 9/11 being false flag terror, an "inside job"--it glares from virtually everything that happened, everything related both on 9/11, before 9/11, and after 9/11. However, it seems that about half of Americans still believe the abjectly anti-evidence official story. When you disregard evidence in favor of what you are told by authority, especially if what you are told is what you would really rather believe...sounds like Moronity.
Black Friday in Moronity, 11/28/08. Stampeding pre-dawn shoppers break down a Wal-Mart door and trample an employee to death, then become irate over requests that they suspend their shopping. At a Toys"-R"-Us, two men shoot and kill each other over a scuffle between two women at checkout....
Moral decay is another sign of Moronity, as in crimes we commit against people of other nations. Obama has us holding a bag marked Hope, and a bag marked Change. We can only hope that what we have done to Iraqis represent the bottom in our moral descent. Wanton murder of 1.3 million people, mangling of the survivors' genetic future with depleted uranium projectiles--weapons that keep killing effectively forever (radioactive half-life of 4.5 billion years). Assassination of their academics. 4 million Iraqi refugees. Satanic infrastructure destruction...we have laid a blanket of hell over the very cradle of civilization, fundamentally, to control Iraqi oil. Of course Moronity's leaders marched out the prettiest, most tender and phony euphemisms to justify our smothering of Iraq with hell--stultifying balm to soften shards of morality. Remember the soothing likes of, "We are bringing freedom and democracy to the good people of Iraq?"- So a somewhat grim acceptance of our moral coma prevails. The masses just don't want to think about what has really been done in Moronity's name--in our name. Let's hope a return to decency, reawakening of our moral conscience, is in that bag marked Change....
What kind of government do we have? "Democracy, of course"--at least a majority of Moronity's citizens would likely tell you that. "We are a democratic nation striving to bring freedom and democracy to other nations as well, amen."-
Actually, in the interests of avoiding "mob rule"- of democracy,to safeguard the rights of individuals and minorities from being trampled by the herd, representative democracy was chosen. We were a democratic republic. But now, Moronity's form of government could more realistically be described as a Chimera with kleptocracy on its breath.
A what...?
Mythologically, a Chimera is a monstrous creature composed of parts of several kinds of animal. The earliest surviving literary reference is in Homer's Iliad: "...a thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle, and snorting out the breath of the terrible flame of the bright fire."- Rather a shock-and-awe dynamic, that breath of flame....
Democracy is a distant, largely irrelevant popular ideal hardly worth mentioning here among oligarchy, plutocracy and kleptocracy all wrapped up in a fog of financial pathocracy. Basic definitions:
Oligarchy -- From the Grecian words for "few"- and "rule"-...in this form of government, ultimate power is wielded by an elite morsel of society distinguished by wealth, royalty, family...generally, power by privileged group.
Plutocracy "" More smeared than Oligarchy, simplified into rule by the wealthy.
Kleptocracy -- Government that enhances the wealth and power of government officials, and the ruling class, at the expense of the population.
Pathocracy -- A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people (or in the New World Order, over a whole world).
Familiar ringing there, decent soundtrack for our acceleration toward fascist police-state tyranny. Meanwhile, our overriding affliction of financial pathocracy is looking more malignant by the bailout.
"Never smarten up a chump, and never give a sucker an even break."- That quote from W. C. Fields could pass for a motto of our financial pathocracy. And the financial pathocrats know that the best place to hide something is in plain view. How plain? Go to your wallet, pull out some money. Top center on its front--the first thing it says to you: Federal Reserve Note
What is the Federal Reserve? Indicatively, it is not federal, that's a ruse to make it sound solidly like a part of the government. Reserves? There are no reserves, that's also a ruse to make it sound, shall we say, safely reinforced. In simplest terms, "the Fed"- is unconstitutional. The Fed is a foremost enemy of the people--vital organ of Moronity, master of our federal Chimera. The Fed is merely one head of the Rothschild Hydra (in Greek mythology, Hydra is a many-headed serpent or monster, each head of which, when cut off, is replaced by two others).
Our Road to Moronity was surveyed, graded, bedded and paved by the Fed. And we have been meticulously herded toward Moronity--a certain rest stop on the journey toward the New World Order. In his memoirs, David Rockefeller wrote: "But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."-
That gets us to a very enduring barometer of Moronity: What the people allow to be done to them. The latest trillion-dollars-and-counting gored from the people to rescue financial pathocrats from built-in snags in their reptilian machinations...surely you've thought about how much common good could be done with this additional debt on your shoulders. Instead, it's simply a fly turd on the map of pathocracy compared to the almost 100-year spinal tap by the Federal Reserve.
Back to what the Federal Reserve is. Incredibly, it's not even ours. The Fed is a cartel of twelve private banks (actually, they're not really even banks) which are not a part of our government. All of the primary owners are tentacles of European financial monstrosities who, in addition to owning the Fed, also own corporate media, the industrial military complex, virtually all of our political machinery. And they own our money. How in Beelzebub's name did twelve essentially foreign private bank hybrids gain total control of our money supply, creating dollars out of thin air, then loaning them to us, at interest?
In 1913 the Rothschilds of England and Germany bought the presidency for Woodrow Wilson--on the condition that he finagle to life The Federal Reserve Act. Reminiscing on his success, Wilson lamented later that: "I have unwittingly ruined my country."-
Starting with WWI a year later, owners of the Fed have instigated all major wars. Regarding depressions, current Fed chief Ben Bernanke had this to say in 2002 at an event in honor of Milton Friedman's 90th birthday:
"Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again."-
Hey, Ben, what about the wars? You know, supporting and arming both sides and making a killing from all of the killing....
For those of strong mind and stomach, a website with comprehensive information regarding the Fed: Secrets of the Federal Reserve.
Two men of great relevance here are Henry Ford, and Congressman Ron Paul.
Henry Ford once said "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning". (reference)
Congressman Paul, on June 15, 2007, sponsored H.R. 2755 , the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act.
Besides their opposition to the Fed, Ford and Paul are united across history in their support of hemp. Ford was a great advocate of American farms. He poured resources into creating new markets for farm products while industrialists took the opposite approach, pushing a petroleum future for America. Many bills in congress supporting a National Energy Program focused on the country's vast agricultural resources as a source of motor fuel were attacked and killed by young Big Oil. Ford had firm belief in ethyl alcohol as the fuel of the future, something widely shared in the early automotive industry. Any plant matter that can be fermented is a source of fuel; in this regard--and many others--Ford knew that if widely cultivated, hemp, among the world's fastest-growing annuals, would be a fantastic economic boon. He even made a car that had a body and windows of hemp plastics, and was powered by hemp.
Congressman Paul also sponsored H.R.1009, The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007, which since April 20, 2007 has lay waiting for the embalmer's needle in the House subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. Only in Moronity would a bill on hemp farming die in a subcommittee on crime, terrorism and homeland security.
So, we have the Fed giving us perpetual wars, perpetual debt, and depressions, while the most useful crop on the planet is banned in favor of pollution, deforestation, and a monopolistic petroleum and synthetics empire funneling wealth to the wealthy while destroying the biosphere.
Two giant steps away from Moronity would be to abolish the Fed and control our own real money, and to restore the American Hemp Industry.
Otherwise, we keep accelerating toward New World Order, where an ever smaller handful of financial elite own virtually everything and are the lords to which the rest of humanity serves in a kind of modern feudalism. The ultimate pathocracy, where reptiles obsessed with accumulating more and more and more wealth and power and control...are in control. Reptiles devoid of the best of the humane...love, compassion, conscience, moral creativity. No concern for the human condition. No positive sense of the human potential.
Food, fuel, paper, fiber, plastics...hemp married to modern technology could give us over 20,000 products friendly to the biosphere--exactly the opposite of our petrochemical synthetics nightmare. The two primary long-term products of the petrochemical empire are death, and control by financial pathocracy. The immense public value in hemp has been well reflected in the maniacal efforts of hemp suppression by the pathocracy.
Our own farmers could grow the ultimate raw material for a renaissance of Americans producing products they consume while the profits are generously spread among the people. Americans creating wealth and benefitting most from their creation. A new road leading straight away from Moronity, back toward that ultimate ideal for peace and prosperity, commonwealth.

Moronity: Can we escape that fate?
Rand Clifford's command of the language and craftmanship as a writer guide him to weave a tapestry of words that wrap around the mind like a cloak. Rand demands that the reader think carefully about his themes and then either "accept" or "reject" his thesis. Much to my sorrow I must accept the concept of "moronity" for much of the American populace. What has happened to us as a people? Is there any hope for change? Will greed be replaced by integrity? If it is not we will deserve the same fate as Rome...and Greece... by Sara DeHart (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 5 comments) on Monday, Dec 1, 2008 at 11:11:28 PM

How
I must thank you Cliff was writing this very important article. Now I will not have to bother on 2 topics very much on my mind most of this year. I hope when the FED... and then the good that could come from Hemp are exposed to the general publics minds, we will raise above our moronic minds. by Michael Dewey (5 articles, 1 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 245 comments [12 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Tuesday, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:58:36 AM

Reply: DON'T COUNT ON IT
The demon weed still evokes an automatic response within the crime control establishment of crime gone wild if hemp were made legal. One must understand that the illegality of drugs has created a world industry that dwarfs most of the multinationals in terms of profits and reach. As such a large industry, the drug industry must protect itself by owning legislators, judges, police, and prime ministers the world over, and keeping drugs illegal is the sole policy goal the industry must accomplish to maintain its profitability. Of course, for police, prosecutors, prison officials, defense attorneys, judges, court personel, and drug counselors, the very existence of their jobs depends upon keeping drugs illegal. Similarly, banks enjoy the tremendous amounts of laundered money deposited into their accounts by dealers, and are often found in the forefront of anti-legalization efforts. Similarly, groups that live off of the books, such as the CIA, some of the SEAL teams, etc., also need drugs to remain illegal lest their true activities be revealed. The drug industry is so intertwined into the criminal industrial complex, the banking system, and the various secret agencies around the world, that there is virtually no chance that we will ever see a relaxation of the draconian and outdated laws that impose the American Medical Association's monopoly on prescribing drugs and forbids an individual's control over his own body and mind. There is another cogent reason legalization will not occur. In the sixties, we learned that some drugs could eliminate a lifetime of brainwashing by the schools, universities, and television with a single dose. New connections made within the brain while experiencing the effects of certain drugs remained after the drug was purged from the system. Basic presumptions about the nature of American society were suddenly put into question, and the authorities quickly outlawed these drugs since they undid what had taken years for the authorities to do. We speak not of flashbacks here, but of new interpretations of former events; interpretations more logical than those fed us by the mass media. Whether marijuana and hemp, peyote, mushrooms, or LSD, no drug will be legalized in America. The hypnosis is complete, and any psychotropic drug will awaken the populace from that slumber. No longer zombies, the Americans might become more than the living dead. They might become aware. Our masters cannot allow that to happen. by W.M.L.

Reply: Industrial Hemp vs marijuana
You are linking industrial hemp with drugs which is misleading. It is not a drug. Industrial hemp has such a small amount of THC you couldn't get high smoking it if you tried. I would suggest you read Rand Cliffords 5 part article on Industrial Hemp at www.starchiefpress.com/articles/index.html Perhaps then you will clearly see that industrial hemp & marijuana are quite different. The elite powers that be would like to keep the public connecting Industrial Hemp as the same as marijuana, as a drug, because it offers so much in restoring our economy and providing jobs from the products that could be made from it along with cleaning our air, soil, water as well as many other benefits. That of course would put a real crimp in the stanglehold the corporate elite have over the American people that is keeping us poor and ill. by Rae (0 articles, 1 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 230 comments [2 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Tuesday, Dec 2, 2008 at 7:23:00 PM

Reply: NOT THE POINT
As I wrote, the criminal justice complex has a visceral reaction to any attempt to minimize, legalize, ameliorate, differentiate, or otherwise reduce in any way penalties for marijuana in whatever form you want to grow it. An industry needs its raw materials, and cut off from those raw materials it cannot thrive. Thus, to make hemp legal would be seen as reducing the supply of the raw material of human beings being fed into the machinery designed to create the repeat offenders who keep hundreds of thousands, if not millions, employed in the criminal justice, crime control establishment. I am quite familiar with the many useful purposes of hemp, but having been in the trenches actually lobbying for changes in the drug laws, I am also quite aware of the very real wall certain legislators and their police, judicial and banking supporters place in front of any change at all in the drug laws in America. by W.M.L.

Moronity to be sure
Actually Rand, we aren't on the road to it, we are immersed in it. Those who still labor under the delusion that we have democracy in this nation have been lulled to sleep with the constant propaganda/briainwashing by the no news, news puppets. As you so clearly point out in your articles, independent thinking, analyzing and independent research have gone by the wayside. Like small children the explanations given are sucked up and we go to bed terrified pulling the covers over our heads to protect us from the monsters under the bed. We have monsters all right but they aren't under the bed. They are the global elite who with every move are enriching themselves at the expense of all others. 911? A giant hoax to further their greed as is the most recent financial meltdown. It is ongoing in one way or another. Greed & power sums it up. As for the federal reserve...you are spot on. To read the entire history of that particular hoax go to: http://www.apfn.org/apfn/reserve.html Everyone should read your 5 part series on Industrial Hemp. It should be a must read for everyone. http://www.starchiefpress.com/articles/html Thank you for your continued clarity and most of all for how much you care. by Rae (0 articles, 1 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 230 comments [2 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Tuesday, Dec 2, 2008 at 8:24:33 PM

Our Rulers' Plan to Eliminate Knowledge Has Worked
See, Rady Ananda’s article 74 Percent of Elected Officials Fail Civic Literacy Test Could it be that widespread corruption has taken hold in our country because the foundations provided for the people to control our government have been undermined?
