If the reader has an interest in finding a good supply to meet the demand for accurate information my suggestion is to take care.
That is the point.
Care is a human product.
Do you care?
Do you care to know how power is growing in China as power is evaporating in the U.S.A.?
Why would you care? What would be the point?
I have a job for you to do if you think that you do care now, and I suggest that you do this job because you will care when it is time for you to begin a serious bout of caring.
Read the link and get to this part:
I don't mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your government and its agents are doing. They go into villages, they haul out families. With the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. With the children forced to watch they gang-rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. And sometimes for variety, they make the parents watch while they do these things to the children.
This is nobody's propaganda. There have been over 100,000 American witnesses for peace who have gone down there and they have filmed and photographed and witnessed these atrocities immediately after they've happened, and documented 13,000 people killed this way, mostly women and children. These are the activities done by these contras. The contras are the people president Reagan calls `freedom fighters'. He says they're the moral equivalent of our founding fathers. And the whole world gasps at this confession of his family traditions.
I don’t mean to abuse you with conscience, and that is the point.
Conscience is a voluntary thing, a genetic instruction, a human physical governing principle, and like caring: conscience is voluntary. You either do, or you don’t care. You either have a conscience or you don’t have a conscience.
Some people (I read) are born without a conscience and the term (as far as I know) is necrophilia and/or narcissism. This can be tested – easily.
Ask a narcissist for a confession.
Care, driven by conscience, is the building blocks of social harmony, without which there is no hope for our species – we merely cease to exist – and the process on that road is illustrated with more than enough examples.
Someone with a working conscience (not someone born without one, and not someone who has had his or her conscience removed by falsehood and violence) confesses – eventually.
I’m not the authority on the illustration (with words) in the quotes, from the link. I’m the guy who has put the puzzle pieces together in such a way as to have the whole picture in view, making logical sense, and I got here by caring. This road is not the path of least resistance. The mind has to be open to undesirable illustrations, even those illustrations that test a person’s moral conscience.
If you know what I mean, and if you are not yet convinced I’m going to link and quote again, so as to prevent some skepticism, like footnoting. This next link and quote is meant to usher in a response to all the above, a response to the next link and quote, and a warning to those who are still refusing to care about our future.

The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness:
EDIT: THE QUOTE FOLLOWING IS NOT FROM THE BOOK LINKED ABOVE
That quote comes from a book titled The Crimes and Punishment of I.G. Farben
The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy: gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.
Did the average German worker (tax payer) care? The parallels are interesting. History is not repeating itself, tomorrow the cycle may break.
If you read the first link you may find the author report how the richest country bullies poor countries. The idea right now that I am communicating to you is to think ahead and employ sympathy; which is another manifestation of that genetic disposition to care, to “have” a conscience.
Right now the old boss is going out, just like Germany was the old boss, and just like England was the old boss, and just like Rome was the old boss, empires all. Think ahead and ask yourself who will be the new boss, and I can offer some clues.
Now, supposing that you have thought some, with care, think about what happens when you are no longer paying taxes to the boss. What happens when you are no longer a member of the richest country? Do you pay taxes toward maintaining your stature as being poor?
Seriously think about that, please.
Do you pay taxes so as to maintain your current level of poverty, once you become poor, and once you are no longer rich?
Have you arrived at a seemingly solid wall of ignorance? Poor people pay taxes so as to maintain their level of poverty.
Have I dented the armor in place between you and your conscience?
Here is a look, again (and not with pictures, and not with “moving” pictures, but seriously, with care, you might entertain, for a moment, the reality illustrated by the words), at what happens to poor people:
I don't mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your government and its agents are doing. They go into villages, they haul out families. With the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. With the children forced to watch they gang-rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. And sometimes for variety, they make the parents watch while they do these things to the children.
If you prefer not to care, not to look, not to hear, about this now, just wait. You can get a taste of reality later, as it moves closer in time and place. Forces are at work now to move power from here to there because here is out of fashion. Don’t mind me.
One more link:
http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22850.htm
I see a need to look at that link now, for some strange reason. Perhaps I am not your average Joe.
One more quote (before I leave you to your version of truth):
Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.
When is it my turn?
