The "1%", the "99%", AND the "0.01%" ...

Though the assassin's bullet killed former Republic of the United States of America President Abraham Lincoln, President Abraham Lincoln's "Spirit" still lives on ...

The "1%", the "99%", AND the "0.01%" ...
by W. Finnerty Sun Dec 30, 2012 15:09

An "e-mail update" sent yesterday to the  British Monarchy  included the following pieces of text:

"Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray ( http://tinyurl.com/dx4byu8 ) ..."  

"... that these dead (Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson) shall not have died in vain ..."


As some will already know, the words "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray" come from what many believe is the most important presidential speech (made by Abraham Lincoln) in the whole history of the Republic of the United States of America, to date.

Less well known at the present time perhaps, is the fact that the ferocious American Civil War --"1,030,000 casualties (3% of the population), including about 620,000 soldier deaths" (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War ) -- was really all about the massive conflict between those who wanted to expand "normal slavery" (for want of a better term) in the United States of America at that time (in the early1860s), and, those who were very strongly opposed to expanding it: whose membership included President Abraham Lincoln.

Though many still do not fully realise it apparently, thanks largely to all of the several sly and deceitful government cover-ups in use for the purpose of successfully keeping crucially important information well hidden from the general public (see at http://tinyurl.com/abcuqmk for example), a very similar "slavery" conflict, which is almost infinitely more dangerous and potentially more destructive for "humanity as a whole" (in my opinion), is at present being played out just now on a global basis (mostly "behind the scenes"): in the form of the conflict between the "99%" who oppose "debt slavery", and the "1%" who seek to intensify and expand it worldwide: debt-slavery which is closely accompanied with all of the inseparably associated government bullying and tyranny, socially imposed austerity, unemployment, grinding poverty, avoidable deaths and suffering through poor and/or improper medical profession health care, hoodwinking, pretexts, and "red herrings" of all kinds, and so on: which invariably and of necessity go side-by-side with the kind of very well-planned, and well organised global "debt-slavery" ploy in question: which is now of a much more transnational nature in its new, more sophisticated, more cunning, and greatly updated third millennium form.

"Honest Abe" did not get this nickname of his without reason, and there is much evidence to suggest that among the world's leading "lawyer/politician" class, he would have easily qualified for the "one man picked out of ten thousand" type of "honest" status referred to in the following Shakespearean observation of 400 or so years ago:

"Ay, sir. To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand."

The "one man picked out of ten thousand": or, in other words, the 0.01% of the leading male "lawyer/politician" group.

As far as I know, the "one man picked out of ten thousand" observation by Shakespeare, which, presumably, would be "one person picked out of twenty thousand" when the female "lawyer/politician" class of today is taken into account (i.e. 0.005%), has been more or less the same throughout the whole of recorded human history. And, as my research into serious government crime  -- since mid-1998 to the present time -- strongly indicates, the whole "honesty" situation on the global legal/political/religious scene is rapidly "improving worse in the times that are in it just now" (using the phraseology of a neighbour of mine in the Republic of Ireland to describe the present situation).

Had President Abraham Lincoln not been assassinated in the days immediately following the American Civil War victory -- victory for all on his anti-slavery side of the conflict that is -- it seems highly likely (to me) that he would have very "firmly but gently" put the "Money Power Psychopaths" back into their rightful place: for once and for all. He, far more than most, knew plenty about them, and their exceptionally socially deceptive and destructive ways.

However, despite Abraham Lincoln's untimely death by assassination just a few days after his victory over the slavery issue, his "Spirit" nevertheless lives on very strongly in his writings (now more easy than ever to access via the Internet). Thus this Spirit of his, combined with the fairly recently arrived and relatively new "help of the Internet", might still be able to facilitate "humanity as a whole" in bringing the "Money Power Psychopaths", and the many corruption-ridden, crime-ridden, cover-up ridden, and impunity-ridden puppet-governments who are supporting them in many parts of the world, "back into line": in terms of CONSTITUTIONAL LAW particularly; and, to keep them there for the remainder of human history, by peaceful and lawful means.

Instead of thinking in terms of just the 1%, and the 99%, perhaps we also now need to start keeping in mind the 0.01% (or 0.005% perhaps?) referred to above: i.e. the Spirit of former Republic of the United States of America President Abraham Lincoln (and the relatively very very tiny group of genuinely honest people like him): if the "anti-debt slavery" side in the present third millennium "slavery" conflict of our own time is to achieve victory over "The Money Power Psychopaths": and their many deceitful and/or foolish government accomplices?
