The whole point of this thread is to be on the lookout (BOLO) for things that the planet's money folks will start to try to slide right past the aging baby-boomers who, they assume, are dummies made dumber with dementia, etc. It will be the biggest attempted bamboozle of all time, I think. I think it's already well underway-- it would not surprise me if the current "economic woes" are a part of the whole plan, along with the global economy. Kept busy looking at trees, we may not always see the forests being moved around. (Part of the plan is to make sure the trees seem to be in competition, when in fact they are an ecology. A resurgence in stirring up race hatreds, for instance-- bingo!)

The tools at our disposal to prevail against this are human-friendly social change, a little applied entropy, and the Vote.
