A State of the World Address>>>The Past, Present and Future<<<

The World as it is today is only a continuation of what problems and solutions we made yesterday.Our future is what we make of it today.Here are some broad brushes to show our world at the end of 2008.

We have a global recession, government bailouts are tied to banks,credit,housing and the auto industry.It is a situation caused by abuse of our free market system to the brink of collapse.Journalism has turned into a very dangerous profession and governments are now starting to "bar" media coverage, such as Egypt and Sudan. It started with Daniel Pearl and now attacks on reporters and newspaper offices is becoming routine in countries like Mexico,Russia and the Phillipines.

Global Warming is a Fact and is in the process of happening.Man made Pollutants and Garbage are destroying our Seas and Beaches.China has giant brown clouds of pollution that threaten everyone.A common science-fiction plot is now real, The machines have literally taken over.How can we stop it?

A new President of the United States and a Democratic rise in Congress have changed our patterns of the status quo.The American People came out and voted in higher numbers than ever.There is a sense of "Change" but where that change will lead us we have no idea it seems.At least globally majority are thrilled that the "decider' finally leaves office.

Concerning the automakers and the housing crisises.They have abused the system and now want to be saved by the taxpayers because of the economic wave that could send the World into another Depression is very real.It's like they have Blackmailed the American People.I am not saying that UAW or any other labor groups are to blame,it goes to all the people who never reconized that this was failure bound to happen.Why? This is:

I have never owned a new vehicle, always bought cars,vans,motorcycles and trucks straight or a car lot and could never afford it,same with a house.This is over a twenty year period.Many discussions concerning this were made between me and many others.We always wondered how Carmakers even stayed in business.New Car dealerships popped up everyday and the giant lots were filled with vehicle after vehicle.Basic economics teaches us the law of Supply and Demand. This was bound to happen.I worked at many a car,homebuilder and motorcycle show. Every year there are new designs flooding the market with minor "tweaks' in technology, excetra.There were more cars than People to Own them!Same goes with motorcycles, ever since it became a fashion statement again the motorcycle companies have exploded and putting out vehicles that are mainly TOYS, that cost 20,000 to 50,000 dollars.I don't know about you but I can think of a lot more places to put 20,000 dollars.So the market is small.The same way with new homebuilders.How long can you keep building and expect people to keep buying.Over Saturation of the Market Place. It was out of control for many years.The majority of people never own the car they drive or the house they live in.Everyone has been living on credit. How long can Colleges charge to attend before they start going through it.The Student Loan Program is a Loan Shark Goverment Agency that never allows you to deal with them direct.I had a 3,000 dollar loan that I have paid off but still owe 20,000 dollars on it and can't find anyway to do anything about it.I Never see a tax return or a stimulis package, the government takes it for the Higher Education fund every year and it does Nothing to change my basic balance. I am ony One of hundreds of thousands of people that deal with this everyday.

Now the Irony, throughout the Bush presidency the price of oil kept climbing along with our surplus of money accumulated by the U.S. in the 90's.Now at the end of it.We are in the worst finacial shape since before WW2 and ironicly the price of gas has gone down.The NWO scenario is alive and well.The U.S. has terrorism right at our border with smuggling cartels on the Mexican border.The possibility of being kidnapped in Mexico is a flip of the coin.Think about this, if the economy is doing so badly why is it that there are more drugs avaliable now than ever? Think of all the under-the-table money that circulates through our economy each day.This is what is keeping us afloat, the main reason why the economy hasn't come crashing down.If we can't even control our border with Mexico, how easy would it be for Terrorists to payoff the hardcore gangs who run the city and slip into the Mainland,the only answer is they are being Paid by someone (CIA or HS?)to watch for this and to "protect" our borders.

I am not a radical.There are many in the U.S. that want the Federal Reserve relieved of the Power they have,just because you print money doesn't mean it is worth anything.We are dealing with Economic Control in the World at this time that amounts to Smoke and Mirrors.As seen by the Auto and Housing crisis, there is only so long that this can go on.Is the Federal Reserve Next?

End.{this is all me folks, don't think I am cutting and pasting editorials or something}

We have a chance now to really "Change" for our future. We can't do it without looking at what brought us here.
