Jack:  Good morning. 

Jim:  Good morning Jack and we bid you welcome my friend. 

Jack:  I’m glad to be here as always.  I am energized by this renewed opportunity to share with you.  While life in this area is always full there is something to be said for this form of communication which I do not much have an opportunity other then this to participate in.  Where would you like to begin this morning?

Jim:  Well I’d like to have you throw out you opinion about Michael Bloomberg throwing his hat into the ring and possibly run as an Independent?  Maybe this is the third party.

Jack:  It is good to see someone such as Mr. Bloomberg advance the concept of Independent candidacy for he brings to the process of viable alternative unlike many who have run as independents in the past.   Mr.  Bloomberg has great social conscience and from that prospective would do well in healing this nation.  He is without question someone who is concerned about reaching the greatest number of people yet you will find great skepticism of his intention in the most important area of American society.  Those in the heartland will be immediately skeptical.  It is interesting at this time to see how he will choose to reach out and draw them in to any potential race for office that he may choose.   If nothing else I believe that Mr. Bloomberg can bring to the election process in 2008 a reminder of what is necessary to draw this country back to a position of strength.  Mr. Bloomberg is a strong believer in preserving the environment and in bringing people together in unison for a common goal.  These two things can bring an interesting perspective to the existing candidates’ running for office. 

Jim:  Yes and I thought to myself if nothing else its going to make both the Republicans and Democrats and conservatives and the liberals start to look at each other in a different light and maybe not browbeat each other as much as they are and start looking to start healing the country.

Jack:  It is my strongest hope that he will realize his role in doing just that.  It is unlikely, although not impossible.  It is unlikely that he would succeed in a race for president.  But what he can bring unlike independent candidates in the past will be a sense of focus on what it best for the American people. I believe the Democratic Party at this time has the intention set to do this but as we know the Democratic Party is not strong.  Watch closely for a coming together of Mr. Bloomberg with a leading democratic candidate, and a possible shift away from the Democratic Party by one. 

Jim:  Hmm.  Yea again if nothing else if he, pardon the expression, scares the hell out of both parties maybe they will start to wake up that the American people have had it. 

Jack:  That’s true.  The American people Jim, in many places on many socio-economic levels are living today with the desire to avoid the news at all costs.  Think about the impact of that.  Think about the true risk to this country.  They’re avoiding the news because it is depressing and indeed it is.

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  But yet if we turn away from staying informed because we don’t want to feel the depression what chance is there to light the fire to make the change? 

Jim:  That’s true.

Jack:  To give into that desire which has been well seeded by many in the secret societies, would be to open the door to absolute destruction of the American way of life.  This is something that many do not understand for as we live in a generation today where because of numerous circumstances people are focused on me first.  We loose that sense of community that keeps this country moving in a forward direction. 

Jim:  Yes. 

Jack:  I wonder often times what it’s going to take to wake up the sleeping giant again.  For this country is indeed a giant when it is unified.  The name United States is not without much deeper meaning.  Yet we are not united. 

Jim:  Oh no.  We’re far from united.  It seems like every facet of society is doing something, if nothing else unintentional to divide and yet there are other groups that are intentionally dividing.   

Jack:  There’s a saying, “there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’”.  Yet it is impossible with the pressures that face the American public today to totally shift the focus off the self.  This is what has been created through the systematic programming of those who hide from the light of day and seek only their own profit. 

Jim:  Yes, it is what Iacocca said in the letter that I recently read.  He published that, if he could get the young people way from their I Pods, maybe he could get their attention to wake them up. But people are not putting their I Pods down.  They’re trying to block out, like you say, all the bad news with music that’s going to wreck their ears for one thing. 

Jack:  And again Jim, what I have learned and what you have helped me to understand is this may indeed be taking place for a reason.  This may indeed be the kind of shift that will lead to something better.  Yet unless we can step back from the precipice and refocus there will be nothing left to save.  For the changes that are going to come in this World and in this Nation will ultimately come.  How they come is what is the matter of choice.   There will be a time of World unity and World peace.  There will come a time when the protection of individuals’ rights and individual ability to provide for the family will become a matter of sharing and a matter of choice, as opposed to a matter of domination and need and greed.  How we choose to get down that road is where free will takes and rears its head.  We can do this by the choices we make.  We can do this by how we relate to others. Or we can wait till calamities so severe as to change life forever as we’ve known it come to pass.  At this point in time we’re moving down the latter path rather then the previous one.  It is going to be interesting in the year to come.  You mentioned Jim, Wall Street last week.  It will be extremely interesting to see what will happen as more and more companies are removing themselves from the pressers of being publicly traded. This is what is driving the Stock Market today and it has just about peaked.  We stand poised on the brink of the absolute collapse of Wall Street. 

Jim:  And of course there is a part of me that says that the “powers that be” will welcome it.  For if they manipulate things right they become very wealthy even more. 

Jack:  If Jim, you step outside the box, which is something that I know that we all enjoy doing, and think in terms of the difference in commerce in this nation if we were to remove it from the public trading of stock.  Right now the corporations of this country owe complete allegiance for their survival to their shareholders.  In owing complete allegiance to their shareholders there are a number of things that take place.  The rights of the workers suddenly take on very little importance.  Those who make the country and the corporation strong through their efforts are being told to do more do it faster without thanks without compensation and without security. 

Jim:  And some are asked to even take pay cuts. 

Jack:  Very true.  Now let’s think about that on the broader spectrum.  What does this do across the board to the fabric of both business and family in this nation?  It drives the small family owned business and the small family owned farm right out of existence.  It keeps people dealing daily with a sense of desperation.  While all the while those shareholders and those who do the bidding of the shareholders grow in wealth, grow in power, and become more and more distant from what the ideals of this nation truly are.  Free enterprise isn’t free.  We spoke briefly last week of the issue of financial responsibility and this is precisely what I am referring too.  We discussed it briefly in the concept of the system delivery of health care in this nation.  We touched on it when we talked about rebuilding the American family.  But largely this is a matter of financial responsibility.  Let us seriously move toward a time where Wall Street does not control this countries well being, for as long as we allow the first allegiance of business to be to shareholders that allegiance can never be to the citizenry of this nation. 

Jim:  Of course I look at it and Wall Street I wouldn’t trust anyway, but when we talk about the shareholders in a lot of instances we’re talking about institutions who own mega bulk blocks of corporation, not the average American. 

Jack:  Absolutely Jim.  But yet when this shift takes place it’s important to understand that unbeknownst to many of the American citizens they are tied to Wall Street as well.  Their retirement plans are deeply invested in Wall Street and because of this those who have the reins of control of the financial markets will say “see the American people do benefit”.  It doesn’t take a lot to recognize that isn’t the case.  Any potential benefit to the working people of this nation is minimal compared to the damage that is being done to society as a whole. 

Jim:  Yes there’s been a concern with me for a small amount of money that I have invested in a mutual fund.  That if something happens that fund’s gone.  I just disappears and all that money.

Jack:  That is true.  But yet everything that we do even your banks’ certificates of deposit, your banks’ saving accounts are all tied to this kind of investment.  So it is my hope that the weaning away from Wall Street will be a gradual process rather then a total collapse.  This is beginning.  I don’t know whether it will be enough over the next few years but we will see.  And maybe the more that people become aware of the impact that this forced control of Wall Street has upon the life of the American people change can begin because people will begin to think and start demanding accountability.  You look at corporations such as Walmart, who are totally irresponsible to their workers.  Yes they provide products at a reduced cost to the American people but at what cost.  It is important for the American people to bite the bullet if you will, and start boycotting these businesses.  Start demanding that they become responsible--not to the shareholders but to the community. 

Jim:  Yes, you know they do an injustice to the American employees but they also do an injustice to the employees in China and Vietnam and Thailand and the Middle East because they are forcing those manufactures to give them a product that is very cheap and subsequently they have to take that away from their employees. 

Jack:  That is true Jim.  Granted in many places in the world that products that are being provided by the workers in those countries are doing great things to improve the standard of living but yet that is short term.  And what it does is it raises the expectation of those workers and it does not require those individual countries to maintain their own responsibilities.  As time marches forward we touched briefly last week on an area known as alternative health care.  There are industries around the World that can without destroying the ecology, be providing great tools for that very reason, for alternative health care. There are plants that produce oils and spices, roots and leaves, eco-friendly building materials, yet all of these things are being ignored because Wall Street is dangling the carrot in these areas and saying come do this we’ll make your life better.  Let these very small countries and some of the larger ones start looking toward their own resources in a socially responsibly way.  We discussed last week the book called The Shift and, as a great book called The Celestine Prophecy brought to everyone’s awareness, when you start focusing your actions and your intentions in this way true change can begin to take to place. 

Jack:  On a different note, I know this young women’s husband has inquired of my thoughts on the supposed release and declassification of records of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  How many committees looked into my assassination? 

Jim:  I’m sorry run that by me again.

Jack:  How many committees looked into my assassination Jim?

Jim:  I guess the only committee that I know of is the Warren Commission.

Jack:  And the house Assassination Committee and three others believe it or not.  The chance of finding answers in the declassified records of the CIA are about the same as the chances of those various committees to telling the American people the truth about my assassination and about the assassination of my brother Bobby and my good friend Martin.  Let’s not delude ourselves into believing that this is going to make any difference. 

Jim:  No because they declassified what they choose to declassify.  As the last information that I heard they will not, the Warren Commission or who ever has the bullets, will not allow them to be reexamined with today’s modern technology. 

Jack:  Exactly.  Exactly. 

Phyllis:  It wouldn’t surprise me at all to, even if those documents were released in their entirety, it wouldn’t surprise me that not everything was written down. 

Jim:  There will be huge sections blocked out. 

Phyllis:  No, that weren’t even written down.  That within the confines of those rooms the powers that be knew what actually happened, why it happened and maybe never even talked about it. 

Jack:  Phyllis, this is the policy of plausible deniability.  This has been the cornerstone of the Central Intelligence Agency, the FBI, and most other such organizations around the World.  Everything is done in such a way that the existence of the act can be denied later on.  

Jim:  Ok that’s true.  I mean, if we only knew the truth about want really took place in the Warren Commission and the House Committee, let alone the other three, or the truth in what really took place with Vice President Chaney with the oil executives, it would shock that American people. 

Jack:  Absolutely.  Absolutely Jim. 

Phyllis:  But knowing that information doesn’t change anything anyway.  

Jack:  It…

Jim:  It could force change.

Phyllis:  Right, it could awaken….

Jim:  It won’t change the fact and it will force change. 

Phyllis:  Right. 

Jack:  That is true.

Jim:  And that is what the American people need to do. 

Phyllis:  Right, they need to be shocked into realizing that changes need to be done.

Jim:  Right.  That we were lied to.

Phyllis:  Right. 

Jack:  Yet it is also Jim, something to consider that the far reaching media of today as they stand on their principles of the public’s “right to know” often does a disservice, for if you look under every rock and every closet and under every rug and into every action and into every inaction, the importance of the things that need to be heard is dwarfed because there is such a glut of information that is not of importance.  A classic example of this my friend was what happened to President Clinton.  Who realistically cares what he did with Monica Lewinski?  But yet how much went on in this nation while heads were turned following this scandal.   The media must become responsible.

Jim:  And again, part of the media or a big portion of the media controlled by a few individuals who don’t want that to happen. 

Jack:  Absolutely Jim.  Well my friend my fear is I’ve taken up far too much of your day.

Jim:  No we’ve done a wonderful discussion and we are defiantly moving forward with the web site.  I am going to be in contact with her today. 

Thank you for being here.  Thank you for sharing with us and we know that wherever you go the blessings of Mother/Father God journey with you. 

Jack:  Thanks Jim, Thanks Phyllis.  Have a great day.
