Using the Iraq war as our template of how not to act, the most constructive action short of nationalizing the Federal Reserve would be reforming education. The War and suspension of civil liberties was possible because weapons makers in league with bankers are given information monopolies by the state. The financial collapse was possible because people have no source of financial information independent of international banks. Banks should not be permitted to control mass media. Media should be nationalized, shares distributed to citizens, and run in the public interest, answerable to elected boards of citizens with a track record of telling the truth. (A company like Fox is the same as Coutrywide: sociopath capitalism as a cancer on the body social, incentivised by the state.) Then the same can be done with universities, which are little more than loan agents at present, or private banks themselves at the elite level. At this point the nation state is not demonstrably run in the public interest and will not survive band aids, nor should it.

The central issue of the day is the environment. Will it "collapse", as Jared Diamond implies. Will we drown in an "ocean of garbage", as the LA Times portrays in it's series on ocean destruction?

My thesis is that Jared Diamond and the LA Times miss the point. The ocean of garbage we are drowning in is information, and the collapse is in our inner life. The environment is a reflection of our inner life. As you drive down the freeway, you are experiencing the outcome of thought, what you see is a represention of the human soul made visible.

In addition, environmentalists of the outward kind have been presenting the problem eloquently now my entire life. The solutions proposed are reactive, band aids, and offer humanity no inspiration.

The environment that needs to be cleaned up first is the thought life of society. Toxic pollution in industry is at least nominally regulated. We don't allow sewage in the public streets, but toxic waste is pumped 24/7 into the minds of media consumers by an army of thought control gangsters. I am going to tell you how to put an end to this suicidal state of affairs.
