"Since the early 1980s our nation has been traveling the
deregulation highway, a road with no rules or direction.
We have let
enterprise be free, business go unfettered, the good times roll! Let's take
a look at how we got here before the deregulation highway takes us over a
cliff.
"The Reagan Revolution" was the beginning, when
we started seeing rollbacks in government
safeguards, regulations
protecting food, drinking water and the
environment.
With the Gain-St Germain Depository
Institutions Act of 1982 came the savings and loan crash, a pit stop that cost taxpayers $150
billion.
William
Jefferson Clinton added the "Bridge to the 21st Century," along with his proclamation
that the "era of big government was over."
During the Clinton administration,
Congress repealed a Depression-era law called Glass-Steagall, which kept
banking and investment separate.
Henceforth, banks could offer
investment advice as well as loans -
one-stop shopping on the road
to disaster." - Al Meyerhoff
"Deregulation of the markets
really took hold in 1994 with the GOP's "Contract
with America," the first to go
were the nation's securities laws.
Over a Clinton veto, Congress
enacted the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act,
making it far more difficult
to prove securities fraud.
"Necessary" to "free" the markets of red tape and trial lawyers, it
gave the green light to corporate chiefs such as Kenneth Lee Lay and
Dennis Kozlowski and led to
the Enron,
WorldCom,
Tyco and HealthSouth fraud
debacles.
As a result, small
shareholders lost hundreds of billions of dollars.
It is time -
past time - to get off the deregulation highway." - Al
Meyerhoff

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason
which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit
of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that
has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the
author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in
America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site in no way condones
violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is
already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human
race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world
economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military
entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the
elevation of self-centered behavior and
the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through
distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population
has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite
that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and
opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed
the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular

Opinion and thoughts
have been adapted, edited, corrected, redacted, combined, added to, re-edited

has been done so in the spirit of the original writer with the intent of making
his or her thoughts and opinions clearer and relevant to the reader in the
present time.
