To all (new and old) in Shadowness...a Greetings and Hope in troubled times

by Novid in The Invaild Manufesto

Folks, don't let the headline fool you - there is trouble ahead. Lets just say that these moneychanger folks don't really care about us. They never did, and never really will.

This site for the past 5-7 years has been a home to me. But recent events (Jessie's - Axl99 trip to NYC) has showcased a dire need to let you know what has been going on.

If you didn't know - know this - those of voting age - some of us here, mostly our parents and family members those of 18 and older - has told their representatives that if they vote the bailout in, the voters will hang them high in november. You would think wall street would respond by saying ok, I been doing this for too long, I will stop and restructure my ways.

Instead, these recalcitrant imbeciles got so angry at us because we won't give them there crack called a bailout - they sent the market plunging. 777.83.

The next day (yesterday) the market went back up another 487 points. But thats in the hopes of a the PLAN "B" of most evil guys plans. Come on, these sons of bitches in Wall Street never watched a cartoon in there lives - and the companies that do cartoons are being taken for a ride in there. They would learn a lot quite frankly.

But when America sneezes - the rest of the world will catch it badly. Russia had to close there markets THREE times. THREE times. Japan is still reeling. China has gone up and down. The EuroZone had to buy back banks... Its getting worse.

But don't you think it is interesting, Sony leads, markets are fine - Sony fights for respect in a video game world turing into a semi-socialistic mess, the markets asks for handouts. We are beginning to see something interesting in the south west - the illegal immigration issue and the housing market may be linked big time - and it could cause MASSIVE issues setting up actual no illegal zones, e-verify and the like in the the southwest - There going to be fights over this and it isn't going to be pretty.

Ever notice now we have four banks too - Wells Fargo, CitiBank, Chase Manhattan, Bank Of America. This goes with our 6 major media companies, 3 major car manufactures etc. When they get TOO BIG TO FAIL - are we gonna bail them out too?

Lets just cut to the chase. Right now - We are in a very severe depression. The upcoming Plan B is no different than Plan A. Im not gonna be here to discuss what type economics people believe in.

But lets just keep it simple - if they take and pass plan b - were going to have a Japanese style depression.

It took 15 years - it changed the anime industry and the video game industry over there for the most part (anime has 1 show that aired 52 + episodes at a time, where as now you many shows airing 13 episodes every other season - the reason being that there has been a lack of capital funds unless coming from other Asian or American markets - to fund such anime work... Video games in the meanwhile gained popularity in the states - with Sony, Konami, Capcom and Square leading the charge - now with Sony in a bit of a struggle, Microsoft Moneyhatting developers left and right - and Ninty using what is called in the Advertising world - "Sows Milk for Bacon" - i.e. using certain annoying and weaker aspects of femininity for marketing the Wii - the market is turning into utter shambles. If it wasn't for the smarter heads of Sony using the PSP as a beach head in there major markets - there would be heads rolling) and not always for the better.

If Plan B does pass - then this nation will finally begin what I call - The Split. It has been shown in Video Games before. The split is when they will call states rights - but since they do not want a Civli War - they will split between a collection of states - regionalization if you will. Then it will be further split between lines of class - then lines of race, then of sex etc. Those Who Are Against Mankind will finally get there wish - the people that lost the will to live.
The difference between this and what Dr Paul states - is that it will be the groups causing individuals to submit to racial, economic and religious dictates. Once that comes to pass - any one of these groups can start conflicts with others. The government will become toothless to stop it.

If Plan B from the government does not pass - then those with the capital will move there money away from the United States - something what I call the Event - in which that most if not 95% of the the major international companies will dump the Treasury Bonds, and enter into other markets, such like in South America (Brazil etc) and continue the work in Dubai.

This will leave the country with out a brain trust to rebuild - since most of the liberal and some of the conservative brain trust will leave with the major corporations. Note i left China out of this? They will suffer horribly because they were so linked with the US, but since there is no capital - and since they cant bring over many of there country men to REBUILD the capital - there will be a massive revolution - possibly a civil war - that will send China backwards 50 years. With some of the new powers coming up such as the Middle East and the Revived Roman Catholic (but still weak) powers in South America - The Entertainment and Art worlds move from the west - to South America and the middle east and oriental areas - the Biggest changes in Brazil and outlining areas - since its common history with Japan, Russia, Spanish Portuguese, African, Dutch and America - gives it a cornucopia of stories. The animation industry and anime could be revived there.

But what if i tell you there is a way out of this. But they in the Congress will never do it. Bring the Fed back into the treasury and fire Paulson. Next session of congress - put those that will try and back our money or at least some of it with Gold, and silver - or how About diamonds!? Sure, there will be some problems for a few months - but is better than 2 years if this plan does not pass and its better than 10 -15 years if it does.

In the meantime - there gonna be hard times. People are going to school to learn in the hopes of better jobs, and a chance to raise a family or if they want travel the world to learn about themselves and what is around them. But as in many cases - the jobs aren't there - and depression sets in - and the jobs that are there - doesn't fulfill the need nor the heart and nor the soul - what is left turns bad. Then the politicos who want nothing more than power - to dictate how one needs to live his life, but not himself/herself. Some of our great readers and observers of american life suffer through a problem - lost wishes. They have lived in the past, sometimes for too long - and at best if it doesn't cloud there judgement - it clouds how they see and understand other people (or their wish not to see another person or not to understand people) to the point where they would rather see a billion people die to keep one child free. This is a pathos that needs to be addressed, but may never will.

There will be events. Bad ones and good ones. But events that people just need to prepare for. This site is a home to me - you who are new should treat it as such and it will treat you back the same way. What i propose though is that at least ONE of the people of shadowness has to be close to you to meet them at least - you need 5 friends (or more) in life to help you a little bit- that doesn't mean you get rid of other friends or what have you - i like to call it the 100 mile rule. If things get bad or we lose contact with the net- shadowness will be always with you... It is the same way with the Long Dead and Legendary Buried Toonami... We will find ways to communicate with each other. It got to happen - because you can just have a communication device such as the Internet and at least not have other ways of continuing the art and ideals of the site beyond the web. So I'm just saying this because even though some of you do derivative work - you are artists in all stripes.

And maybe nature - maybe the love that surrounds those that embrace it - it doesn't nessarly come from inside you - will surround those that want it - and we will have the America that our parents are losing by a thread. Once we realized that we have lived too many lies about ourselves and each other - New ideas come up and they shatter the old ones. Once we feel the freedom to act, to draw, to persevere and survive the way one wishes and not the way it has become now - we will finally see what it means to have freedom. True Freedom.

So - think about it - start contacting those here - and see where it goes.

You will need to find the path - you cant follow those paths that were laid before you - but those you meet will help you light the way.
