Fact.
Truth is "treason" in crony fascism.
RIPS
The truth shall set you free.
Certainly not said by Jesus the Nazarine, because it is a classical Greek perspective on the world, and the direct opposite of "faith" in which all religions trade.
Nevertheless, in appears in the book of John.
Sometimes truth is even treason on The Hedge.
Now, just where was that rabbit hole in which I was wandering?
To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
-Voltaire
Free [insert nominees below ~ fonestar nominees will be subject to peer review]
Yes, you can't criticise them but more importantly, they don't pay taxes and don't go to jail for committing crimes. They are not in government; merely control those who are.
These controlled governments are despicable beyond belief as brilliantly illuminated in Sibel Edmonds book, "Classified Woman", one of the best books ever written on the subject.
Only as it states If "you know the truth" will the truth set you free. "What is truth" was one of the last questions asked of Jesus Chris by a Roman head of state. So close but yet even he could not withstand the Jews zeal to kill the truth and again here we are still asking and the Jews still trying to kill the truth.
The truth is there are only haves and have-nots aka slaves and slave-owners.
Here's a tremendous quote that Thomas Sowell dug up,
"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." -- T.S. Eliot, 1950
And a killer insight from the last chapter of Steve Pinker's The Blank Slate:
"Paradoxically, in today's intellectual climate novelists may have a clearer mandate than scientists to speak the truth about human nature. Sophisticated people sneer at feel-good comedies and saccharine romances in which all loose ends are tied and everyone lives happily ever after. Life is nothing like that, we note, and we look to the arts for edification about the painful dilemmas of the human condition. Yet, when it comes to the science of human beings, this same audience says: Give us schmaltz!"
And here's one from Enoch Powell in 1968:
The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature... Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: “if only”, they love to think, “if only people wouldn't talk about it, it probably wouldn't happen”. Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical.
Lady Astor, on hearing Darwin's theory of natural selection: "Descended from apes? Goodness, let us hope it is not true. And if it is true, let us hope it does not become widely known."
Ah, somewhat akin to classical physicists with respect to quantum mechanics. Somewhere between "Let's hope it's not true." and "Let's Ignore it."
Are those whacky scientists still promoting "string theory"? Inquiring minds want to know...
/s
It's still being funded. So: yes.
About half of physicists think the answer is superstrings, where we understand more and more about our universe with additional dimensions. The other half believes in multi-verses, multiple universes, where we have reached the end of discovering more natrual laws about how our universe operates because the next set of rules to discover lie in other universes. When they finally proved the existence of the "God" particle, the Higgs boson, the superstring guys would be right if the energy level was around 110. If it was around 140, the multiverse guys would be right. The first readings were 140, which meant the end of physics as we know it, and many Nobel-awarded guys were wandering around saying "I've spent 30 years of my life on nothing".
When the final readings came in they were at 125. This was confirmed at 5 sigma, so very certain. It means neither camp is right...but more importantly it means that the Higgs boson, the particle that holds our entire universe together is highly unstable. At any minute it can goo "blip" and our entire universe will cease to exist.
It has been shown that the mind collapses the wave. This world is consciousness, the reality of it is formed by the mind. 'Govern' the 'ment'al and you govern the world. This is what TPTB know and what most fail to see. Many very accomplished quantum physicists realize this and many acknowledge God.
Exactly! They mean to rule with benevolence, but make no mistake, they mean to rule.
American Progressive Manifesto
It is self-evident that government has the power (or should have the power) to implement any good idea, and that when we are all on the same page, everyone benefits, but now, let’s think for ourselves, and explain why.
Effective government is necessary for the health and prosperity of everyone today and for future generations. A threat to government is thus a threat to the health and prosperity of everyone.
Government has some powers delegated from the power of individuals, such as the power to borrow and spend, and government also has unique powers that may not be legitimately exercised by individuals independently of government, such as the power to kill or to tax other individuals. Government thus has these unique powers, not because they were delegated by individuals who do not possess such powers, but because those individuals agreed to be bound by government.
We know that 97% of individuals, if given the choice, would agree to be bound by government rather than live without the benefits of government. Every individual instinctively knows that his life without government would be short, nasty, and brutish.
Although we would like to grant the 3% the right to live without government, many of those reactionaries would not get vaccinated, and many more would possess weapons. Therefore, it is self-evident that the health and prosperity of the other 97% dictate that all 100% of individuals must agree to be bound by government.
Everyone must be bound by government at all times, even when they disagree – especially when they disagree. Otherwise, Rule of Law would devolve into chaos and threaten the health and prosperity of everyone. No one can be above the law.
While we Progressives do not always agree with each other, we always accept the authority of government because effective government requires that 100% accept the authority of government. Anyone who does not accept the authority of government is thus a threat to the health and prosperity of everyone.
Some governments have committed atrocities in the past, but we will not let our government commit atrocities. However, individuals and businesses will always allow themselves to be ruled, and thus, if Progressives do not rule, then a worse faction would rule. Any other faction would be less effective and may even commit atrocities, and thus a threat to our rule is a threat to the health and prosperity of everyone. In other words, we are the good guys, in the vernacular, as it were.
Given that we are the good guys, and that we know we are right, then if we think for ourselves, we can deduce many other self-evident corollaries, such as the fact that it is OK to lie to maintain our rule. Such action is not only OK, but it is indeed noble. It is the Noble Lie advocated by Plato.
For all these reasons, it is thus legitimate for progressives to take any action up to and including killing any number smaller than a majority in order to maintain our rule. Obviously, if we had to kill a majority to maintain our rule, then our rule would not have been legitimate. We are people of principle after all.
More important than maintaining our rule is defending government itself. Government would be justified in killing a majority rather than letting anarchy prevail. Then, at least, the surviving minority would have the blessings of government.
More important than maintaining government and defending our rule is defending the future. For example, defending the planet is the most critical element of defending the future, and thus we would be justified in killing all but a tiny remnant of individuals if that were necessary to stop a threat to the planet, such as Global Warming, but of course, if it were possible to save the planet by merely sterilizing (instead of killing) all but a small remnant of humanity, then we would do that instead.
Another threat to the future is bad genes. In order to improve the human gene pool, it could be necessary to kill and/or sterilize all but small remnant of humanity. It should be self-evident that any such eugenics program should begin with those reactionaries who are least progressive.
By now it should be clear that only by our rule can everyone experience the full blessings of government; and though we mean to rule with benevolence, make no mistake, we mean to rule.
we mean to rule. LOL!!! They're just mentally ill narcissists devoid of any skill or common sense.
This always ends real bad for them. So be it.
Talk about Lady Astor's "Let's hope it's not true."
A belief, or faith, in a god, spirit, deity, or even comet chasing aliens, cannot be affirmed except in the heart and mind of the believer.
A belief, or faith, in governmnet can, after over 6,000 years, be affirmed to be maniacal lunacy.
The banksters need to repay us.
"Giving some the authority of violence only creates a violent authority."
That is exactly how they think and behave and many will openly admit to them all, eg., Soros, Holdren. But that manifesto was actually written by a non-progressive to point out their creepy, deceitful real agenda and is not an actual "progressive manifesto." This makes sense, because progressives are clever enough liars to never put their real agenda in writing, so the author kindly wrote it for us!
I especially enjoyed the summary by the author (from your link), paraphrased, "The progressive agenda is the soul of animals trying to eliminate the soul of humanity from the face of the Earth."
Good stuff.
The Progressive fantasy is to trust and to hope, but, in Nature, the adaptable and/or the lucky survive.
Some years ago I expressed my frustration at why some of my ideas were not being taken up. The older person told me that I have to either give wankers 5-10 years to understand it, or else plant the idea in their mind in a subtle manner so that they start believing it was their idea.
On both counts he has been correct to date.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” - Frank Zappa
I'll give you one from Nailib: Too much power concentrated on too few is dangerous to mankind. We have to limit the amount of power we give to our rulers.
I dont want rulers you see, I vision another system
get out of the box or choose your words wisely young aprentice
Rule of Market
Rule of Law
+1000
Also as in Republic not Democracy
It takes less efforts to maintain orthodoxy in adults who have mostly already chosen sides. Change has to appeal to the younger generations. Which is why governments have taken over education all over the world.
New ideas are difficult to introduce when they affect other men's position or wealth.
As a peaceful person. I will say. Peace isn't going to win this War. Force. Overwhelming Force against the puppet leaders. No other scenario I can see working.
Personally, I don't worry: I believe G-d is watching over everything that's happening. I also believe He will step in when the time is right.
I can. Gandhi did.
The system functions only by law abiding citizens. Pay your tax, mortgage, shop, goto school, work eat sleep etc.
The moment enough people stop going to work, stop paying tax and mortgage and just stay home until the system collapses, is the moment of victory.
That moment the right People should step forward. People like Tyler D, Ron Paul, me. You. Time comes we take matters in our own hands again.
Fuck the system, stay home, grow veggies, help your neighbour, whatever, just don't feed the Govmint, screw the IRS, screw the Banks, well, you get the picture.
The underground economy is growing tremendously. :)
fantasm, vue d'esprit. theorically you have the solution, mathematicly, impossible to apply :
1) more than half humans on earth live in cities, - > where you grow your vegies ?
2) so this 50% use power grid, lifestyle depend of grid, do not pay tax & fees, -> off grid for everyone > have you a powerfull mind enought to project what happen in a 5 million human cities if you shut down grid for 10 fucking days ?
3) starvation is the starting point of prehistoric call back. it is my own personnal theory, ## whatever elite apply to poor/mids, as long WE have stomac full, WHATEVER the method, nothing really change ##
your POV is ok in theory for me, but it assumes the humanity make a stand and self remove the ability to eat ??? are you fucking crazy ? ppl kill for nike shoes.... so what about food !?!!
nah, forget what you wrote, not gonna happen, never , ever.
beer, couch, tv, that's how it works.
So the Krugman/Abe/Central Banking debt spending orthodoxy is genius.
Meanwhile: savings, sound money, and the rule-of-law are "barbarous relics".
Well ... of course rule of law was a great leap forward from rule of man, but it is still pretty bad. The next leap forward is rule of market. Here is an excerpt:
Rule of Market – The Next Leap Forward
History began with the Rule of Man, which is where those who make the law are not accountable to those under the law, and those who make the law are above the law. The law is thus likely to be inefficient, subjective, arbitrary, and applied unequally. Government under the Rule of Man is illegitimate because people only support it under duress, and no competing law is allowed. Government under the Rule of Man is also a monopoly on the right to initiate force or fraud within a geographical boundary.
A great leap forward from the Rule of Man was the Rule of Law, which is where those who make the law are accountable to those under the law, and no man is above the law. Unfortunately, government under the Rule of Law is still not legitimate because most people support it only under duress, and no competing law is allowed. Like under the Rule of Man, government under the Rule of Law has always been a monopoly on the right to initiate force or fraud within a given geographical boundary. These remaining drawbacks with the Rule of Law are harmful in their own right, but they are also the seeds of its inevitable regression back to the Rule of Man – unless we evolve further.
The next great leap forward will be the Rule of Market, which is where the law is a product like any other. An individual could produce his own law, or choose one of the products produced by others, or choose no such product at all. The market would be the judge. Government under the Rule of Market would allow competition, and few, if any, would purchase law that claimed the right to initiate force or fraud against them.
In the Rule of Market, the law is voluntary – just like any other product.
Just read several pieces on your blog. Admirable. Keep up the good words and clear vision.

"Facts are the enemy of truth"
--- Don Quixote de la Mancha
Note the middle sentence that is not highlighted: It is not exactly forbidden to say things, that or the other, but it is “not done” to say it.
To which I'd add: “Inappropriate” is the codeword that is used as a signal that "it is not said or done".
We see that word (Inappropriate) in emails and spoken language almost everywhere, as a tool of speech control and behavioral control; e.g. at work and in schools. It seems to carry an instant stigma with it, the way the word "Leper!" used to centuries ago. Once branded with the word 'Inappropriate', a person is "Guilty until proven innocent".
