Angelina Jolie and addictive motherhood

I certainly didn't think I'd ever find myself feeling sympathetic towards Angelina Jolie but........here is a link to a short blog post contemplating the idea that she is self-medicating with motherhood (she's pregnant with her fifth child-three adopted, two biological). There is an awful lot I could say on this subject but I'm too busy self-medicating right now!

Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t fall for any of their ‘humanitarian’ CRAP. ITS A SHAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT. Ask any professor of economics. Money does not grow on trees. The government can’t just print up more on a whim. At any given time, there is a relative limit to the wealth within ANY economy of ANY size. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars. Transfered FROM US TO THEM. Over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They will never settle for a reasonable share of ANYTHING. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductable crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. Cashing in on the PR and getting even richer the following year. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. Their bogus efforts to make the world a better place can not possibly succeed. Any 'humanitarian' progress made in one area will be lost in another. EVERY SINGLE TIME. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. The current US recession will drag on for years and lead into the worst US depression of all time. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. So don’t fall for all of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah, Ellen, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. Now, there are commercial ties between nearly every industry and every public figure. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘good will’ BS. ITS A LIE. If you fall for it, then you’re a fool. If you see any real difference between the moral character of a celebrity, politician, attorney, or executive, then you’re a fool. WAKE UP PEOPLE. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. The 1% club will always say or do whatever it takes to get as rich as possible. Without the slightest regard for anything or anyone but themselves. Vioxx. Their idea. Sub-prime. Their idea. NAFTA. Their idea. Outsourcing. Their idea. The commercial lobbyist. Their idea. The multi-million dollar lawsuit. Their idea. $200 cell phone bills. Their idea. $200 basketball shoes. Their idea. $30 late fees. Their idea. $30 NSF fees. Their idea. $20 DVDs. Their idea. Subliminal advertising. Their idea. The MASSIVE campaign to turn every American into a brainwashed credit card, pharmaceutical, love-sick, celebrity junkie. Their idea. All of which concentrate the world’s wealth and resources and wreak havok on society. All of which have been CREATED AND ENDORSED by celebrities, athletes, and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘ good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTABLE PR CRAP. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. EXTREME WEALTH HAS MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Of course, the rich will throw a fit and call me a madman. Of course, their ignorant fans will do the same. You have to expect that. But I speak the truth. If you don’t believe me, then copy this entry and run it by any professor of economics or socio-economics. Then tell a friend. Call the local radio station. Re-post this entry or put it in your own words. Be one of the first to predict the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time and explain its cause. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.

fwiw, i didnt read that whole thing yet, but i figure if you're going to put that much thought into something, put a name to it! =)

this is claire
self-medicating? can't we just use the real name for it?

sajmom said...

Claire, did you read the article I linked to? It wasn't discussing Angelina's humanitarian efforts-it was about her "collection" of kids, both biological and adopted. So what is the real name for self-medicating?

Sue said...

Claire, I knew that this comment was you. I should it to Chuck and I said it was you. I just sounds like something you would say.

Sorry Alanna, but she is her mother's daughter. The reason I'm saying this is if this was a topic you felt so huge about (not the right word, but you get my drift) you would be rambling on and on about your beliefs. Nothing bad about it, but that's what we all tend to do if we really believe in what we are saying.

Sue I don't think that Claire posted the long article....she usually tells us who she is. Besides she was at work at the time it was posted and she doesn't go on & on haha Claire is to the point when she talks (observe any time she posts a comment), plus I don't think she feels that way.

That said, that long comment was too long and I think they repeated over & over again. But I agree with the top 1% earning most of the world's money. Conspiracy theories say that this is intentional, meant to make us all slaves (working for pennies while they rake in the zillions from us). The more I read, the more I am inclined to agree with conspiracy theories. Because the way the world is heading, Bush already signed a treaty with Canada & Mexico effectively eliminating the borders between our countries. Check out LouDobbs.com. He does commentaries on CNN and he is the only one talking about this. Our media doesn't because it is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is slowly taking over our businesses (recently acquired Dow Jones & Co)and they report on what they are told to report on.

Lou Dobbs is part of the problem. He is paid $4,000,000 per year just to run his mouth on CNN. Thats not counting all the book deals. He has hardly touched this issue. Instead, he diverts our attention the the 'lesser' issues like the trade deficit or illegal immigration. Which are both signifigant. But nowhere near as much as the incredible greed of the 1% club. They literally rule our world and now, they are trying to own it.

Well, at least Lou Dobbs IS talking about it, even if he spends more time talking about lesser issues. He's the only one in mainstream media doing that. I could have posted a link for infowars.com but that site is obviously slanted way too much for most ppl and wouldn't be respected whereas Lou Dobbs is much more respected. Whoever you are anonymous, I'm glad to see another person sharing info --there are way too many ppl who do not know or care to know what is REALLY going on in this world.
