In operational military code, the day was D-Day and the time was H-Hour. The only difference was that this was THE D-Day. My message, if you care to receive it, is that today is also D-Day, a D-Day of a different flavor.

Our overlords are operating on the economy until it collapses. They are debasing our money supply until it is worthless.

Someone, somewhere is receiving the tax money paid for the broken business of AIG and Government Motors. All we know is that the international central bankers are behind the whole charade. Our Congress still doesn’t even support auditing the central bank, the Federal Reserve, yet.

They are frittering away the very civil liberties that our veterans cherished so much and fought so hard to protect.  Many of our soldiers may still believe this today, but they have been misled.

Our enemies are not to be found in the racial and religious groups clashing in Iraq. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 or any other terrorist group. When we hurled our finest 150,000 troops at him, he had no air force, no navy, and pathetic shreds of an army. He had no weapons of mass destruction, although Pakistan, India, Russia, the USA, China, Israel and other obviously do.

With all of the ongoing talk about the financial crisis, high unemployment, disappearing 401k plans, unfunded pension plans, an upcoming and unmentioned commercial real estate crash due to the current silly state of “governomics” that we currently live in, I would like to share a philosophical point about wealth.

So what does the term “wealthy” actually mean?

If you google “define wealth” you get “the state of being rich and affluent” or “having a plentiful supply of material goods and money.”

I feel these definitions miss the true meaning of the term completely.

The word “wealth” is derived from the old English word “weal“, which is synonymous with well, as in well-being.  What makes you wealthy is  what increases your well-being.

Therefore, to be “wealthy” doesn’t mean just money or possessions to me.

To me, my prime source of wealth is my life and health. Without a state of good health, life is pretty rough.
