I follow the markets ( or ““markets”” as I deridingly call them), very closely.  The reason I do is because most people are taking their cues from whether stocks have gone up or down.

The stock market is now the main tool of persuasion used by the government and its Wall Street proxy agents to signal that “all is well” to the population.

It’s been a long frustrating period of time.  For ten years now, going on eleven, the powers that be have used every trick in the book (and some probably not in the book), to keep stocks elevated.  This has been a win-win for them; a pacified population and a massive concentration of wealth into their own pockets (or people related or known by them).

I truly wish we had an unpacified population.  One that would be willing to drop some very dangerous delusions and get on with aligning our actions with reality.  It’s time to freak out a bit.  Get serious.  Make different decisions and reorganize our priorities.

Away from consumption and towards regeneration.  Away from wars and death and towards positive solutions and life.

But as long as the ““market”” masters insist on keeping stocks elevated, we seem stuck in the mud.  Which means even as people allow themselves to be distracted and divided by trivial matters, reality grind on in the background.

The narrative goes like this; “Things will work themselves out, they always do.  Don’t be alarmed.  Look, people are getting rich in the markets, and that means things are going well.  Being an alarmist will only harm you.”

Meanwhile, the natives are growing restless, as that narrative is shredded by reality.

For example, to follow the Brexit drama, you’d think the worst thing in the world will be the possibility of a hit to the UK’s economic growth.
