My brother and I like to sit around, and state our observations of what has been happenning in our worlds.
If you think about anything long enough, you can piece together something that is close to the truth.
The Gas Prices
Ain't it obvious? The refineries got together and decided to cut back on the supply when demand was high. This caused the prices to almost double for gas. This took $100's from every driver in the world each month. We got ripped off.
If supply and demand were working, they refineries would have met the demand with the supply.
The refineries got together and timed this.
This had to have happened.

The Stock Market
Ain't it obvious? Extremely wealthy have sold their stocks, putting their money in their mattress, artificially bringing down the prices of stocks. This has cut our 401ks and our chances for retirement down to almost nothing. The hope is, we will lose our hope, sell our remainings stocks (along with our dreams of a simple 10% return), to drive the stock prices down even lower. When that happens, the extremely wealthy people are going to pull their money our of their mattresses and buy the stocks back at bargain prices.
Here is my sinceriaro
I bought 250 shares of Boyd stock at $40 for $10,000. It was valued at $50.
Now, the wealthy sell their 1,000,000 stocks, and stuff their mattresses with $40,000,0000
The stock goes down to $4 a share.
Having lost faith, and having fear that Boyd will go out of business, I sell my 250 shares of stock a $4 for a $1,000. I've lost $9,000.
When the time comes, the wealthy will pull their $40,0000,000 back out of their mattresses, and buy back the stock at $1 a share, giving them 40,000,000 shares of stock.
The stock will go back to what it was worth ($40 a share). This will make their $40,000,000 now be worth $160,000,000.
The stock is still worth undervalued at $40 a share, but the wealthy will have gained a 400% profit by playing this game.
They've taken my retirement money from me, and caused me extreme depression and despair. 
A group of wealthy people got together and timed this. 
This had to have happened.

It wasn't fear this time. It was planned. It was organized.
Who are these people?
They are the people who actually have been running the world for a long time.
They would have to be wealthy people from all over the world, to coordinate this intentional disruption of the laws of Supply and Demand.
Competition wasn't working like it should have been.
For example, if one oil refinery was under producing, then another should have been over producing, so they're refinery could make more profit.
But if all the oil refineries all decide to invent reasons to under produce, then Supply is not going to meet demand. Competition has failed to work.
All of the refineries ended up selling less product for more money.
What basic Economics has always overlooked is the power of monopolies.
This is when the government has to step in and make regulations, so the cost of electricity is fairly priced.
But now, there is a world economy. The large businesses control it. No single government can.
Somewhere out there, there MUST EXIST a group of wealth people from all over the world,
that are planning ways to take individual wealth of the middle class, and redestribute it to the upper class.
I hope their grandchildren are happy with my 401k, and all of that money I spent on gas last summer.
I suffered. All of the middle class people I know suffered.
What we aren't reading about in the news, is something else that must be happenning. People are killing themselves. People are dying for the lack of income that they needed from their dividends, or from the money they had to spend driving to the grocery store. A lot of people are just barely surviving.
What we seeing is the new type of WAR 
This is a century where the world could actually blow itself up. But that's not going to happen.
This war is quietly killing people. Its quietly destroying the process of supply and demand. The weapons they are using today is money.
They aren't using guns to do it. There are no bombs. Without money, we will die just as surely as if someone put a bullet in our head.
They are using numbers. Simple numbers.
They are creating coordinated attacks on our incomes.
It will have a death count associated with it, but, has anyone figured out how many people died because they didn't have enough money to survive while these gas prices were rising and the stock market was falling? I doubt you will ever hear a number that will reflect the casualties of this war.
We've been misdirected. It's simple magic.
One eye is watching the stock market, wondering how this trick is being done. Our money is dissapearing right in front of our eyes.
Wait a couple of years, and we'll see our money reappear in some elses pocket.
There is no such thing as magic. Magic is a series of planned events that make something seem to disappear and reappear.
Like the dove, in the magicians pocket, it didn't dissappear. It only seemed to. It still existed.
Like the money from the stock market, it didn't dissappear. I don't know know where that money is, but I do know it still exists.
Here is my theory of what is happening, and it is very ugly.
Suppose you knew this planet could support 10 billion people.
If you had power, what you might consider doing is waiting until the population hit 10 billion people, letting the people build their buildings, their bridges, their dams, their infrastructures. However, you and your think tanks would know, this planet could only support 10 billion people. So what do you do when the population starts to hit 11 billion.You might quietly cause the deaths of say, half the population.
You and your friends might cause a water shortage next time, instead of gasolene.
Wouldn't that be wonderful for the survivors? What a wonderful world it could be if I could have an ample supply of buildings, power, food, air, water.
All I'd have to do is mess up the laws of Supply and Demand for a year or so.
And with the worlds knowledge being shared, what you really need really need those 5 billion people for.
Ask yourself "What would have happened if gas prices went up to $50 a gallon"
Hopefully, in your mind, you'll see what I see...a world at war, not in any particular country, but in every neighborhood on this planet. People would be fitting for survival, siphoning gas, robbing gas stations, they'd be willing to kill for gas.
I see that it might possible for something terrible to happen around the year 2012.
I see it, not because of a prophet's predictions, not because of the planets lining up....that cracks me up laughing.
NO, I see it because of the evidence I witness all around me every day.
We know we are destroying this planet. Look at the sky. Look at the lake levels. Look at a garbage dump sometime.
The packaging on a box of cereal cost more than its contents. Where do you think our sewage goes?
People don't care about the animals and plants of this planet. They care about the future of their kids, at any cost.
We know people must die to sustain a decent quality of life for the survivors.
We know at sometime, all of those welfare babies are going to have to starve to death.
We know that the elderly, receiving $10,000 a month in public health care, will have to die.
The time is coming. It has too. Something terrible happens every century.
A group of people, people from probably every country in the world, are letting us know what is coming.
They have been decent enough to give us fair warning.
Hopefully, they'll be decent enough to kill the population of the world without too much discression as to race, creed or color.
I'm pretty sure, it'll be a war between the haves and the have nots.
Wall Street is dead. It hasn't moved to Main Street. I don't where it went.
BTW - Did you see how the magic trick actually worked, or was it just me?
That money in the stock market didn't just disappear, and the oil was always there. 
I'm sure the house loans were easy money, given to us, so we'd lose our homes.
These magic tricks keep happening.
Drive around, look at all the bank repos. Remember the prices of gas going up to $4 a gallon. Remember the Dow when it was at 13,000.
What's going to happen next?
Well, it won't be good, I can promise you that. Most people have already lost their retirements and homes.
Maybe what will happen next, will kill most of the human population, but save the planet.
Maybe it seems awful, but if it is a necessary evil, then it is going to have to happen. If the planet can't support10 billion people, then we have to die sooner than expected.
If that is the case, then I'm willing to die for that cause.
That cause, of course, would be the survival of life on this planet.
I'm old anyway, and the youth will hopefully bee wise enough to use the knowledge acquired in the past century, to build a much better colony of our species.
At any rate, the American Dream for me has died.
I made A's in college, but I couldn't afford to go any further. I had to work. Nobody seemed to care that I made straight A's. 
And the companies with their retirement plans went away, giving up jobs to the poor people working in factories in China.
And I'll lose my house. I'll lose everything I've worked so hard for and saved for most of my life.
And I'll die from some easily fixed health problem, because I won't even be able to afford that blood pressure test that cost me $80, because I can't afford insurance.
So, good bye Mr and Mrs Cleaver. Beaver will grow up and kill himself some day, and it won't really be his fault.
