After the Pay Check — the New Earth
 
        Thoughts from    ~burning woman~     by Sha'Tara
 
This world is always being divided.  Without plunging into distant and esoteric history, let's say that the first great division was that of man against nature.  Man conquered nature, at least on the surface.  Now the great predators whom man once feared subsist in dwindling numbers at the sufferance of what was once their prey: the naked ape who established himself over all the earth. End of one division.
 
New divisions came about through man's collective efforts and struggles: empires and nations arose and fell, emerged and were submerged.  There were other divisions, of gender, race, language and religion which saw man's propensity for mindless violence exceed every bound established by logic, common sense and certainly compassion.  The last century saw unthinkable carnage of warfare, genocide and oppression aided and abetted by man's new found ally in destructive power: technology and science.
 
And now, where are we?  Well, we are at the tail end of our history as we know it.  We've done it all; gone to the ocean floors, scoured the land for the last remaining "free" natural resources and took some fledgling jumps up into the inner space of "our" solar system.  Still we continue to "increase and multiply and subdue" as if the Genesis mandate was the greatest commandment ever given.  We haven't accomplished what God, or the gods, had hoped we would since the failed extermination attempt of the last great flood, that is, wipe ourselves out.  In fact, we are more numerous than ever and that, as you will see, is a bit of a problem.
 
And this brings me to the current elitist dream: to create a final division, between the super rich and the forever enslaved.  Of course, the current consumers—dummied down with fake news and slick lying commercials; brain dead sports, fear of terrorists, scandals, global economic tremors on the rise, 2012 approaching, peak oil and global warming (or not, take your pick)—cannot see the change that has taken place among the ones they used to trust to know best. The people suffer from what I like to call educated ignorance.  They do sense that something isn't quite right but they have no words, no voice, to express their suspicions.  All they can do, and do best, is plunge ever deeper into spending and stuff-collecting frenzies.
 
What was it like, under the old economic system, you know, the one that still pretends to be viable?  Well, it was pretty basic.  If you were of the financial elites, you basically ran the world.  Religions and governments served your needs and greeds and you paid them a few billions to ensure that God was on your side, that laws were passed to guarantee your profits however corrupt and inhuman your practices, and that wars were kept flaring up and on-going to justify aggression and hide corporate sins.  The Corporate world had a simple process: control and exploit raw natural resources, enslave a large segment of the human population to turn those resources into marketable goods, then selectively farm some privileged groups to be the consumers of goods. 
 
For some time now I've been trying to figure out why consumers are in ever-growing debt.  If things were as advertised, then only the non-consumer poor should be in debt, not the bona-fide consumers of, say, America, Canada, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and some small parts of Asia.  This large middle class segment that swallows up the lion's share of the earth's resources should never be in debt because it is paid to consume, not to produce.  And that's the funny part, that everybody is in debt, and the rich consuming middle class "owns" more debt than any other group, including the poorest of the poor.  And so we find this anomaly happening: that this opulent middle class is being systematically destroyed. But if it is, who will buy the cheap manufactured goodies?  Answer: no one.
 
So you have to look at how the consumer is paid in order to have what it takes to purchase corporate goodies.  Well, that comes from having a job.  The job entitles one to a paycheck.  The paycheck is money received for one's labor, an exchange of energy between worker and employer.  That's the system, isn't it? 
 
Of course not!  A child would not believe such a fairy tale.  The paycheck is not money, not credit, but a debit.  It's a loan.  Not only is it a loan, it is loaned at interest.  Interesting interest, worthy of the best of any Barnum and Bailey circus act.  The system is set up so that you owe a certain amount of "money" to the State, the Church, the Corporation (bank) before you are even born!  Rule number one: you are in debt, and can do aught but remain in debt, no matter how you, as an individual, manage to twist or break some of the lesser rules.  It has been established that every paycheck, large or small, is nothing more than payment on the collectively assigned debt.  Even when the sharks have apportioned most of that paycheck to themselves, through taxes, fees, "tithes", down payments and monthly payments, you don't own what's left.  There's a whole network of sub-systems set up to strip you of any savings you may have. Networks of "services" such as phone, cable, internet, maintenance for this and that, insurance, investments, charitable organizations, papers and magazines, all vying to grab what's left.  Let's not forget the "essentials" of living in a "fat cat" society: food and drinks; audio/video entertainment equipment; spas, barbecues, hot tubs, SUV's, Hummers and F-350 pickups; trips, clothes, massages, manicures, hairdos, makeup, golfing, racing, sky diving, off-roading, fishing, hunting… and shopping rituals and last but not least, gambling.  I'm only touching on obvious aspects of the creative ways the system has to get back the loan it calls a paycheck… with serious interest.
 
Naturally such insane ways had to be of a temp nature.  It couldn't last.  And I know that the higher (hidden) echelons of the elitist apparatus that controls this planet was well aware of this fact.  But as it gave Religion time to spread lies and cause havoc all over the world; governments the opportunity to do the same using legal shenanigans backed by military force, then the Money Boys the privilege to mop up what was left, it is now terminating the game.  It's basically over.  Decisions on how to divide what's left have been made and all that's left to do is to implement an elegant solution to wipe out the old Trinity.  Before it is destroyed, this world must be made secure and beautiful for the higher elites.
 
The process they are going to use is simple: wipe out 5 to 6 billion Earthians, keeping just enough of them to supply the slave entertainer and worker force needed to provide earth's elites with the comfort they are entitled to.  The wipe-out is slated to happen during a period of from two to three hundred years, using a combination of "designer" diseases, wars, attrition in massive forced labor camps, forced sterilization, orchestrated genocides, and global famine.  Slave populations will be kept on patrolled islands until needed. They will be monitored and culled.  The "chosen" will be implanted with recognition and locator devices, then assigned their particular role. Experiments with living specimens to arrive at the perfect slave will be on-going.  Many slaves will have their vocal cords removed and tongues cut.  Some will be blinded for various reasons, one of which is demonstrated in "Slum Dog Millionaire" (the movie).    
 
Entire continents will be depopulated and re-stocked with fish and wildlife for the fishing and hunting pleasures of the elites.  Huge areas will be allowed to return to a state of natural evolution with no interference, except by observer teams of scientists of various disciplines.  Of the old ways, all records will be destroyed completely.  Nothing will remain of books or computer disks.  Remains of old infrastructure will be taken apart, burned, bombed or seeded with chemicals to speed up the process of decay.  Finding and keeping or hiding, old technology or records will be punished by ways worse than death.  Any kind of spirituality, even religion, will be ruthlessly stamped out, as will be those involved in non-approved organizations.
