Shock Treatment

Are we shocked at anything anymore? Each day brings a new revelation of some horror story taking place in the world. More money is spent in this country in video gaming entertainment than any other type entertainment. Such bloody, spastic, warfare games as “Call of Duty” and “Final Fantasy” are a consistent diet in the visual apparatus of today's groping young person. Shock treatment, as used in therapy in mental disorders, is used mostly to relieve stress or with certain bipolar disorders. I don't believe this therapy is used much any more because there has been greater success with chemicals. Shock treatment, as relating to the economy, has been used in times of recession to motivate buying and establish controls on prices. I was in Argentina at a time of run away inflation. In a store, there would be many prices on an item. The value of the money was changing so rapidly the merchant did not have the time to even remove labels but just marked through old ones and established a new price. We will probably see this type inflation shortly. As the price of gold goes up, the price of fiat currency goes down, and prices will climb to the place, that like some countries in history, you will go shopping with a large bag or wheelbarrow full of money. Those not affected by recession, those who vote themselves an automatic pay increase (such as Congress), will have little empathy for the beleaguered and the bewildered public. 237 members of the US House of Representatives are millionaires. Seven are worth more than $100 million. It is a known fact that 90% of Senators are millionaires. Wisconsin Senator Kohl is reportedly worth $215 million. Like the Kenedys, the Clintons, the Bushs, the high flying (rich and famous) of the political sort cannot be expected to understand your plight as a hard working, God fearing, tax paying citizen who does not eat lavish meals via high powered lobbyist, who are treated to every enjoyable experience money can buy via elitist rich people who want your political blessing.

Donald Trump estimates his net worth at $5 billions. The real estate tycoon has know the ups and downs of the business climate. In 1990, his creditors tried to assist in his realignment. It is reported that at Atlantic City the bankers were admonishing him for certain business practices and telling him that he might be going into personal bankruptcy. He just smiled and said, “It is your problem, you are the ones who will lose the money.” I do not believe it has occurred to the average American, yet, the financial condition of the country. Streets are still full of vehicles, stores are still filled with goods, the skies are still full of planes, people going somewhere. Those with sight, tell me that the athletic stadiums are still full for athletic events.
Garth Brooks has just come out of retirement. He will give concerts in Las Vegas for $125 a seat. All the seats were sold out in a matter of minutes.

People keep telling me that I have gotten old and the world has changed. Yesterday it was announced that the Japanese government will give the United States $5 billion to be used for the Afghanistan war. It was proposed that this money be sent to pay off Taliban insurgents so they would stop fighting us, go back to their homes and become “peacemakers.” These paid off fighters will become about as peaceful as the Iraqi fighters in the beginnings days of that war when, in the desert between Baghdad and Kuwait, they were told to just turn around and go home. We have been there eight years with as many civilian contractors as uniform service people. The shock treatment of Gorilla Warfare is trying to pacify religious, political and media leaders with a politically correct dogma of ambiguity.

In this global, one world government, science and technology precedes every mission. Global warming, and the enrichment of fatso Al Gore (the first man to become a billionaire off the environment) supersedes the strategy of military success. Answers about the Cap and Trade tax are more important than answers about military supplies. The fact that Godless China is teaching the Chinese language all over Africa to the natives as China further uses its resources to conquer the world economically as America continuously tied down with religious wars.

Does the disdain for Christianity and Christian principles bother you? Larry David, producer of the popular Seinfeld series, urinated on a picture of Jesus Christ. Someone put the picture in the bathroom and a Latino maid found it and thought that Christ was crying. She phoned some of her friends and there was a ritual before the “crying Christ”. Like Jerusalem, I'm sure Christ weeps over this world and the shock of this entire episode but you hear nothing from the religious community. A young girl, with a new puppy, leashed, was taking the puppy for a walk. Three young boys came along and immediately killed the girls puppy by stomping its head. Three young boys, just yesterday, were in the courthouse for dousing another young man with alcohol and setting him on fire. 65% of his body was burned.

The government controlled media, so politically correct, has had nothing to say about the fact that the Muslim psychiatrist, accused of shooting his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood, attended a Muslim mosque just outside Washington, DC along with Muslim members who flew the hijacked plans in 9/11. For over one year, the FBI was aware the mental status of this army major, his supposed communication with a Kuwait insurgent. Does it shock you that this psychiatrist was educated with your tax dollars? Was counseling your young warriors who had returned from the war about the futility of fighting Islam?

Do you even care, is it a shocking revelation, that the congress is about to inflict you with a 2,000 page health care legislation that will totally change the greatest health care system known to man? The thing that should bother you most about this monster is what it will cost you in the future.

God takes his word very seriously, “as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is” (Proverbs 23:7)
