The straight-jackets of humanity are socially conditioned and absolutized institutions. Our species is basically made up of life forms who are profoundly enslaved by their conditioning, or life forms who have significantly transcended their conditioning -- which is called Liberation. Political, religious, and even marital institutions should be tails only, wagged by the dogs of authentic individuals. Hence, we are now at a "cusp" because ONLY if millions of us transcend our conditioning can we destroy The Beast.

Take a deep breath. Here are a few snapshots of vampire elite reality. Horrendous quotes by and about the 0.5% vampire elites, some contemporary, some hundreds of years old. They all show utter contempt for the human race, democracy, and even our health. It's clear their large game plan is selective genocide. Can't have too many human cattle running around. Take a deep breath -- this is vile.

Flash! Progressives know full well DLC "centrism" is a code word for elitist right wing dems. So far, Obama seems to be ignoring his liberal base and is abandoning his commitment to treat the metastasized cancer of the Middle East with even handed compromise and diplomacy. What deals did Obama make during the election and are they now fettering him from creating his personalized "new deal" and leaving the dead and rotting DLC past this election has overwhelmingly mandated him to leave?

Does human misery come from victimization or a defective species? Are Homo sapiens victims of religious fanatics, parasitical elites, and KKKesque right wing fascists? Or are they acting out a world their species defectiveness generates? Two points of view, but since deadbeats, enablers, and Clinton DLC scabs supply necessary social acceptance for The Beast, this means The Beast is "allowed". Only defectiveness would allow such chaos and evil, thus the buck stops with Homo sapien choice.

The ultimate conflict of human existence: Wisdom vs. The Beast Ultimately, only wisdom can deal with The Beast (basically a marriage in hell between genocidal fascists and religious fanatics). Everything else is reshuffling the deck of symptoms by institutional religions and/or establishment politics. Indeed, The Beast is made possible only by the collective projections of the core fears of billions of human beings. Transcending these fears is liberation -- including from The Beast.

The Clinton/Bush legacy of financial terrorism on America Financial terrorism on the middle and lower classes of America (exempting, of course, the elites) was started by who may be the tipping point traitor for the death of America, Bill Clinton. His strategy was to totally deregulate America's financial infrastructure and what we wake up to in the morning is the result. He then passed on the baton to the Bush Royal Family and the beat went on . . .

Institutional conditioning: the crown of thorns of humanity. The core evil of human existence is the Have and Have Not distinction, but this distinction has nothing to do with the power and cleverness of the Haves. It has to do with the power of around 6,000 years of institutional conditioning. The cattle pens the Have Not's live in have fences made only of years of brain washing. We think it is just "the way things are", but it's really a conditioned game we must "snap out of". NOW!

Individual creativity/intelligence (vs) social/institutional straight jackets. Our world is filled with chaos and evil. The worst way to deal with it is with establishment institutions, e.g., religion, politics, nationalism, and cults. Individuality is the dog, not the tail, and the power of a liberated individual is the core power of this planet. This is the essence challenge of our species. We must "out grow" these status quo institutions and turn to our individual intelligence/creativity depths.

The Everything Game The social/political/worldly game whose number one game rule is that it isn't a game. Waking up from such a game would be . . .

Enough already with Obama's "lesser of the evils" Presidency! Obama has turned into a "lesser of the evils" President, which is light years away from the person we thought we elected. Also, if Karl Rove was Bush's brain, has Bill Clinton become Obama's brain? The honeymoon is over and we need a presidential President, not someone who thinks it's game over just because he made it to the presidency. What ever happened to that moral/rational man in the primaries? Gone forever?

Will Barack Obama please get off the 9/11 fence? Obama is a maker of meaningless, decorated generalizations. His impotent rhetoric is becoming physically painful. Our country and planet are faced with ULTIMATE, FINAL challenges and yet he just keeps talking and talking. Anybody got any duck tape? He is the quintessence of establishment politics and proof that only apolitical, world wide power of the people can be our salvation. It's transcendence of politics or extinction.

America: The country where politicians give the finger to the majority of the citizens America is no longer a country where elected politicians pay attention to their constituents values and wishes. Said differently, we have a one party system (the Democratic/Republican Party) and it answers ONLY to the pig, pig rich. "Politics" is a game invented by America's Greek God-like elites to delude the populace into thinking they have some (any!) voice in America's foreign and national policies. In your dreams!

Morality is grounded in nature not institutionalized religion. Is it naive to keep the faith? Indeed not, since keeping the faith in humanity and morality is grounded both in human nature and nature itself. The Holy Grail is a glimpse that our depths are also nature's depths and this ocean of mystery is never subservient to any evil foam. This vision can save us absolutely.

The Math of America. Some mathematical snapshots of America related to playing the lose/lose political game as a form of suicide, but "transcending" the lose/lose political game as a form of liberation -- all mixed together with Newton, Bishop Berkeley, Wittgenstein, the calculus limit, proof by contradiction, and musical notation. Something for everyone and a vote of confidence in the human race.

Hey guys, I'm begging you. Don't vote for Palen's good looks! It would be anathema if many American men voted for Palin simply because of her "good looks". The correlation is obviously zero between looks and political expertise and maturity. On a looks scale from one to ten, Abraham Lincoln was a one, but on the statesmanship scale from one to ten, he was a 10 +++. A better take on Palen is to see her alter ego Ann Coulter lurking inside and biding her time. What a horror!

Two ghastly possibilities: Obama/Biden are being drugged or bought off by pug elites.Their passivity is now treasonous. The astounding passivity of Obama and Biden is becoming treasonous. It's also conceivable they're being drugged or have long since been bought of by fascist elites. One thing is now absolutely certain. Barack Obama will NEVER STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR AMERICA. Maybe he's a coward, who knows, but we must face that fact that we will win this election ONLY if we mount the barricades and fight the good fight without these two wimps

Some informal extensions to mathematical game theory: factoring in elites and religious fanatics. The sociatal applications of game theory tends to discount the reality of a VERY un-level playing field for social dynamics. In this informal addendum, the "chaos variable" is assumed to be the inevitable result of theocracy, oligarchy, and the lethal combination of the two, e.g., "elite fundamentalists"; something neither Adam Smith nor John Nash significantly addressed. The bottom line of this addendum is that chaos kills.

Oh, oh, Palin leaked it out during the debate that she wants to be EVEN MORE POWERFUL than Dick Cheney! Palin increasingly looks like evil incarnate. It's the lipstick on a pig thing and behind her lipstick and 20 year old glasses and hairdo personna, lurks an illiterate, psychotic luster for power who now admits openly she intends to have more power than Dick Cheney (her mentor?). Plus, her virtual spitting on Joe Biden's vulnerable sharing of family tragedy was beyond loathsome. This woman is a clone of WW2 fascist monsters.
