The other day while travelling somewhere in the car I asked a guy who works for me up here if had any understanding of the Global Economy. I may as well have been speaking Swahili!
He got the Global part, sort of, with a bit of prompting but the Economy thing was just another world and too hard to explain in a 1/2 hour car trip. He’s typical of many here. They have as much of an idea about the other worlds as many have of their world of subsistence living in “Paradise”.
There are two Samoa’s and it’s not American and Western Samoa I’m talking about. It’s the people in Samoa and the ones outside.
Now don’t get all huffetty with me when I talk about the Samoan brain drain OK? It’s just a fact. Let’s be honest about it – the good ones have gotten out. And the impact is way bigger on the country than New Zealand’s brain drain in days gone past. There are not even 180,000 people in Samoa here and estimated to be more than 300,000 Samoans outside. That’s a very big exodus over the years – and of course those that have now bred offshore.
Yes, yes, yes, I know there are exceptions but the constant challenge from the Samoan people’s perspective is to get out of here. It always has been and unless things change very drastically it always will be. Families overseas are “So lucky!” they say here. “We have been selected for the ballot,* We are so lucky – can you sponsor me in to New Zealand?”
There are many empty houses in Samoa – especially some of the villages. “Oh that’s Aunties’ house. She’s in Australia”. or “I’m looking after Mum’s house while she is in New Zealand”. Even our own landlord is an absentee landlord. He is a retired pastor who lives in Wellington and has been coming “home” for decades – five of them to be precise!
While Samoa is “home” for many, the reality is that those with influence; those with power or money; those with talent or ability in some field or those who want to better themselves are all offshore. Think rugby, boxing, education, government, yes and of course labouring workers, South Auckland and the other things that are unPC to talk about.
So these two worlds . . . they look like this:
On one hand we have here a 36 year old man who wakes at sunrise, “borrows” 40 sene (cents) from his mother to go to work for a Palagi. He will usually not eat breakfast – there usually isn’t any. He is the only one in his extended family who has a job – the rest are subsistence farmers. He won’t have any lunch or money on him to buy lunch nine times out of ten – there usually isn’t any. He wants to get paid daily because he needs it for smokes, food for his family, or the busfare, or nappies for his baby, or to pay back his brother or sister or mother who might have loaned him a buck or two. He is the only one who has a job so he has to buy everything for everybody else in the family – that’s what Fa’a Samoa is – communal living at it’s best (or worst, whichever way you approach it) and a lifestyle that Samoans the world over skite about, are proud about and will die for (even when they partake in the other life).
Then you have the Palagi life – the other life – comparatively wealthy, informed and with-it, with Ipods, cars, Facebook, healthy employment, food galore and an arrogance and independence that slips a few quid to family back home every now and then and sometimes doesn’t even visit family (“because they always just expect things from me”).
Ouch!
Those two worlds are miles and miles apart. They’re not always divided in two countries either. There are many here who live the Palagi way with material possessions owned by an individual and private lockable houses with food in the cupboards. “I moved out of the village home and we rent in Apia now. We want some space of our own”, one married couple shared with me. “Village life you know you can never own anything of your own and you can never have your own life” they explained.
Little more was said because I understood. “I know very well!” I thought. “Fa’a Samoa and the two worlds!”
I was brought up a classical musician. I learned music by reading the dots. Music came to me via Beethoven and Mozart and the Concert Programme (station) on the radio. Regee, Hip Hop and pop music was a different world. I never got that different world – the music and the people in the different world. Worlds apart!
I couldn’t afford to buy lunches at school or travel the world until quite late in life. Even my friends came from the same side of the street – middle class New Zealand. On other side of the street there were families who travelled internationally, went to the snow for holidays, could afford a housekeeper, dining out, had a bach, two cars and a boat. They lived in another world.
On the political front there are those who know how the system works and benefit from it, generally well behind the scenes; and those who get caught up in playing the game of politics believing it all – some do it all very seriously too. Democracy is nothing to do with voting. It is about manipulation, power and money by a few behind the scenes. (Think Shadow Government and the global banking cartel). John Key would have changed the law and made a simple correction to the anti-smacking law if it was. Muldoon wouldn’t have got pressurised by the scary International Monetary dudes in white black suits, matching suitcases and a private unmarked jet at the end of his career either if it was. He was told what to do. Helen wouldn’t have had such a dream ride and done her business despite popular opinion if it was. Democracy is an excellent tool for those in the know, who play the game, and who are thus rewarded. The rest of us just see the news as they want to present it to us. The make-believe and the real world. Two worlds.
I’ve got mates who are into soccer. What a crazy game when people can talk about a nil-all scoreline favourably. Imagine rugby with a nil-all scoreline and saying it was a good game! The fun is all in the action for me – tries, conversions, great runs with the ball. We’re in tWo camps on these sports, my mates and me. Two worlds a mile apart.
I chuckled to myself recently when Ian Wishart posted a link to “a longstanding environmentalist” who is just starting to see the real motivations and politics surrounding the global warming nonsense and how political many of the seemingly innoculous and trustworthy organisations now are.
What’s really disconcerting for me is that I am a longstanding environmentalist. As part of environmental groups I’ve helped to prevent nuclear waste from being dumped in the ocean, I’ve helped change emergency planning for nuclear reactors, and I’ve also helped develop biodiversity strategy. I’m as green as you can get. But what I am faced with now is environmental groups and major NGOs – Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, WWF, even the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds – which have allied themselves with the state. They talk about so-called denialists allying themselves with ‘Big Oil’, but they have fallen into the arms of big government. They’ve allied with disreputable prime ministers; they’ve allied with chief policy advisers who have never got anything right in their lives; they’ve allied themselves with scientific institutions that have never led on any of these environmental issues.

I knew over 20 years ago that global warming was a just a scare-tactic when I found a newspaper under the carpet of my grandmother’s family home I was renovating. I still have the original newspaper – I even brought it to Samoa with me. It’s a little yellow and the paper is a little crumbly with age but on Page 13 of the New Zealand Herald, Tuesday, April 9, 1957 (that date is correct – 1957, before I was born!) is an article entitled: MAN IS MAKING EARTH TOO WARM [BOLD ITALIC CAPS in the original]
Click image to zoom in or here for extreme closeup!
Sandwiched between articles entitled “PEKING-MOSCOW ALLIANCE REMAINS FIRM”, “Eisenhower Sends Eden Personal Letter” and “No Progress in Canal Negotiations” the subtitle reads “Threat of Melting Polar Caps” and starts with “The levels of the oceans could rise 40 feet and flood vast areas of the earth in the next half century unless atmospheric temperatures were controlled, said a prominent physicist yesterday.” It carries on with a short, two column article of the usual BS blah blah stuff.
Fifty three years later and the powers that be have ramped up the global warming rhetoric a thousand fold and many are still trying to work it all out. Global warming (or at least perceived weather trouble) has one of five planned “threats” for nigh on a hundred years to scare the population into Global Government submission. ** See my footnote for others.
Ho hum!
I live in a different world. I see things differently with eyes of a conspiracist reality. Too many others seem get sucked into playing games with “talking heads” and empty words, and believing the make-believe powermongers want me to believe. Two totally different worlds. One day, too late, many will no doubt find out that they’ve been duped.
Cathy O’Brien explained in way way too much detail in The Trance-Formation of America how the power-mongers live. I strongly recommend that you do not read either of her two books if you are squeemish or if you are not ready to take a major body blow to your understanding of the way things really are up the top. A mind-controlled sex slave from birth to Presidents and their spouses from Reagon to the Clintons and downwards, she was conditioned for Illuminati use and programmed under the massive top secret MK-Ultra programme. With outside help she broke free and survived, being one of the first to spill the beans on the other world. It’s a world that will shock and destroy too many preconceptions for most people to be able to handle. To think that Presidents, CIA and others are part of a pure evil global reaching plan to bring about the New World Order and that they live like animals without conscience behind the scenes is a different world to that of 99.999% of the rest of us, but a real world none-the-less. The other world is one of literally unspeakable and unlimited wealth that brings with it pure unbridled power, but also pure evil.
This then raises the issue of the spiritual world – a different world from the bricks and mortar and the people and things that we live in and around and sometimes love. Dealing with the contest between good and evil must always bring us back to the spiritual whatever terms we use to explain it. The thought that there is another world of a spiritual nature is not unique to Christianity – many religions accept some form of spirituality to explain the two worlds of good and evil. Some balance them out – like the yin/yang does. Others fall more on opposite ends of the spectrum of Good and Evil competing – some, like Christian declaring that Christ conquers Satan, and others claiming that “Lucifer rulz”. According to the Scriptures the physical and the conflict will pass, but the spiritual will remain. Faith and relationship with our Creator are the keys to participating in this world. Whatever the case these are very different worlds. News from the other world can be shocking.
Robert Kiyosaki talks with increasing concern about the global economy in his newsletters. I respect him. He’s carved out a lovely niche with his latest venture – revealing the Conspiracy as he calls it but not quite naming names and going the whole hog. Very clever!
My point is that the tenor of his voice is changing from a cautious “be prepared” to one of “MAYDAY! MAYDAY! RED ALERT!” I think Robert is right, that there is serious trouble ahead, but I also think that the entire global economy is way more tightly managed by the banking cartel than he lets on. I encourage others to explore the role of all apparent leaders in political and big-business decision-making. Ask questions and follow the money.
I’m not naturally suspicious but his success on the back of the global banking cartel’s activities is also a little too clever in fact for my liking. Some have poked a few questions his way in regards to his marketing and style, but I’d be asking questions too about his money-making capacity if he starts to shine too much. It is their style to “telegraph their punches”.
Like my friend in Samoa, who knows not what a Global Economy is, there are many around the world who know little of the other worlds around them. I encourage readers to explore the other worlds. Sure, come to visit Samoa and meet the people who have nothing (and on the one hand take what you have and on the other give you all that they have) but also ask questions about the other worlds too and actively explore new territory.
You can’t ask too many questions, unless you have a closed mind already. Join the other side of the street for a new experience. Who knows what good will come from it when you do? If it’s Samoa, I’ll see you there anywhere here!
* The ballot allows a limited number of families entry into New Zealand each year by agreement of both governments.
** David Bay is what I would call an ultra right wing conservative. He has some excellent insights into the misinformation process used by Illuminati and NWO supporters. His experience in high level US miltary has given him an excellent capacity to spot BS from a mile away. He says that he came to recognise early on that the US government routinely lies and misrepresents important facts to it’s own people. His news and Christian commentary website Cutting Edge has been sounding a constant message of warning for many years. I’ve enjoyed a lot of his insights and learned a lot from him. In one of his early articles (http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n2193.cfm) he addressed the global warming issue as one of five planned “threats” to mankind. Readers of this website should understand that David writes from the perspective that:
- The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are genuine and are not a forgery as some claim. (I absolutely agree with him on this. Although the exact authorship cannot be guaranteed, the essence of the document is very real)
- The Christian faith is a foundation for truth and understanding, and that reality can be and must be measured against Scripture. (I’m right with him on this too, but he’s much more into the Churchy words than I could ever be!
In essence the five threats that he mentions are:
- Global Warming
- Global Terrorism
- Global War
- Global Economic Disaster
- Global Virus Pandemic
I ask myself as a check every now and then if any of these are promoted in the mainstream media in a manner that makes me want to support initiatives helpful to global NWO government. They all are. So until proven otherwise if it walks like a duck . . .
