[GJM] Global Climate Change and the Machine

[marguerite hampton]

Since the major portion of U.S. industry is now directed toward 

manufacturing weapons of mass destruction and other instruments 

of war in order to produce dividends for investors, it only stands 

to reason that war must be the number one focus to keep the economy 

growing. War is a powerful force in generating the pollution that 

is creating global climate change. 



If we want peace, then we-the-people must begin to implement local 

economic endeavors that are directed toward relocalization and support 

of local communities in producing goods and services directed toward 

supply for community needs first and "excess for sale" as a secondary 

consideration. We must recognize that international trade based 

on excess for sale before consideration is given to the supply of local 

needs and calling for excessive transportation of goods and services is 

no longer a viable enterprise. 



The collapse of international economies as a worldwide depression comes 

into play due to many different scenarios, e.g., global climate change, the
end of cheap and unsubsidized government energy programs, consequent
collapse of world trade due to inability to transport goods and services at
an affordable rate, failure of the U.S. health care system to meet demand of
the pressures that the Baby Boom generation will place on it, collapse of
the artificially created housing bubble, and other as yet unforeseen factors
 will open up the opportunity for local currencies to come into play. Local
currencies accompanied by local small business enterprises will allow
profits to accumulate in the local economy and be utilized to support
peaceful endeavors which will stabilize local economies and keep them viable
 Creating local currencies also delinks local economies from the Global
Monetocracy System so that the GMS is unable to skim their "unfair share"
from off the top. 



It is time for the human family to "grow up" and stop being dependent upon
Big Brother to take care of us. Inequalities and "dependencies" create
dysfunctional "master/slave" relationships that are unhealthy for all
involved. The human family now has developed the ability to make conscious

choices based on the evolution of our holographic mind. We are now capable

of moving into self-governing forms of administration, focusing on effective
management measures instead of "politics" as a way of running the world. How
many of the world's businesses would survive if politics was used as a way
of managing them? 



Let's get real here folks and leave the old and failing systems behind and

move into the creation of programs that enhance and promote life. We have 

too long under so called "Christian totalitarianism" (the dominator
paradigm) worshipped death rather than life. It is time to move on and
expand our thinking into creating life-enhancing systems that allow us to
fullfil the potential of the unlimited power of the human mind-field. As
long as we are bound to national or international financial programs, then
we do not have the power to do what needs to be done at the community level.
 



We need to move beyond the thinking of defense-spending programs as below
and create life-enhancing programs. In order to do that, we must begin to
think "outside of the box" using the power of our mind to reach into
multi-dimensional or "holodynamic" thinking which provides us with an
unlimited number of options. We no longer need be bounded by the fences of
the "Flight or Fight Syndrome" as the biology of consciousness has evolved
far beyond this point. However, it appears that most of us are still stuck
in a "one-dimensional" mindset due to lack of operating instructions on how
to use our new found intelligence. Programs like Vern Woolf's Holodynamics
offer "hand's on learning programs" on how to use the full power of our
minds to step outside of the Global Monetary System Matrix and create an
expanded and more satisfyingly mature world of beingness. 



The question of the day however is how to overcome our mass addiction to our
current unhealthy lifestyle which imprisons us and has created the current
aberrant society as one of the main components of addiction is denial.
Global Climate Change may be the only force powerful enough to 

force us to make critical decisions we otherwise would not make.

Pentagon expands war-funding push 

By Jim Wolf, Reuters 

Friday, October 27, 2006; 9:21 PM 





WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department is expanding the scope 

of what it deems war-related spending, a move that would make it easier to 

meet growing Army and other service requests for more funding overall. 



Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, in a memorandum dated Wednesday, 

told military chiefs to base their requests for funding outside the 

regular defense budget on the "longer war against terror." 



Such requests should be "not strictly limited" to Iraq, Afghanistan and 

operations from Philippines to Djibouti sparked by the September 11 

attacks, England wrote. He said they should be sent to the defense 

secretary's office by November 1. 



The memorandum was made available Friday by InsideDefense.com, an online 

news service. The memo did not define the "longer war" -- a term that 

could open the door to more spending on everything from intelligence to 

the pricey process of making Army brigades more readily deployable. 



Included were fix-up costs for war-worn equipment or "replacement to newer 

models when existing equipment is no longer available or repair 

economically feasible," England said. 



Also included were "costs to accelerate specific force capability 

necessary to prosecute the war." England said the requests must be for 

items for which funds can be "obligated" in fiscal 2007, which began on 

October 1. 



"Funds that cannot be obligated in FY '07 will be requested in a following 

supplemental," he wrote. 



With passage of the fiscal 2006 supplemental spending bill, war-related 

appropriations would total about $436.8 billion for Iraq, Afghanistan and 

enhanced security at military bases, the nonpartisan Congressional 

Research Service said in a September 22 report. 



All this is in addition to the more than $500 billion sought by President 

Bush in his baseline fiscal 2007 national defense request. 



The Pentagon's so-called supplemental requests are not subject to 

restrictive caps placed by Congress on total federal discretionary 

spending -- the part outside of mandatory entitlements. 



As a result, they may be used to shift certain costs from the annual 

baseline defense budget. In addition, supplemental appropriation requests 

do not require the kind of detailed budget justification material that 

Congress expects with regular Defense Department funding requests. 



"What this memo appears to do is recognize the services' concerns that 

they need supplementals to help them cope with the shortfalls in their 

programs generated by the longer war on terror," said Dov Zakheim, the 

Pentagon's chief financial officer from 2001 to April 2004. 



Steven Kosiak, an expert on U.S. military spending at the Center for 

Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, said measures to pay for ongoing 

military operations were widely considered "must-pay bills, must-pass 

legislation" in Congress. 



While Defense Department long-term budgets were projected out six years at 

a time each year when sent to lawmakers, supplemental war costs do not 

show up in any long-term spending plan, he said. 



Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, at a regular news briefing on Thursday, 

said it was "very difficult to know what ought to go in the budget and 

what ought to go in the supplemental." 



"We've been working very hard to get 'reset' money for the Army," Rumsfeld 

said, using Pentagon jargon for funds to replace or refurbish 

combat-damaged gear. "The Army needs it. So does the Marine Corps. So do 

some of the other services that have reset problems." 



The Army has been pushing for a $25 billion increase to its fiscal 2008 

budget, but the Defense Department so far has offered only $7 billion, 

according to another England memo published by InsideDefense.com.
