Lost Principles And Social Destruction

“...we are here dealing with a totalitarian state of which the philosophy included an utter contempt for the individual... any freedom of thought or action was inconceivable in the Aztec world... dependence and instability were absolute, fear reigned. Death lurked ceaselessly everywhere, and constituted the cement of the building in which the individual Aztec was prisoner... Clearly the spirituality of some aspects of Aztec life must have sprung from an old pre-Aztec tradition, later betrayed...”

Laurette Sejourne (‘Burning Water’)

The life of a nation, of a culture, is sustained by very few but very critical social circumstances.  These pillars must stand strong, maintained with the utmost care and caution; as one would fight to maintain the beat of his own heart.  If these vital foundations are dissolved or destroyed, the nation and the people contained within are subject to the most heinous of generational afflictions.  The citizenry and all that nurtures their progress, begins to die.  Slowly suffocating in a corrosive atmosphere of dishonor, men turn toward pure self interest at the expense of their greater selves, giving rise to hatred, desperation, and an environment of disturbed malleability that is easily exploited by those who seek power.

Eventually, the entire edifice comes crashing down, sometimes so far into the pits of black and terrible times that it is all but lost, even to memory…

As I look out past the near horizon of this time, and this nation, I see considerable potential for a revitalization of that which is best in humanity.  I see a population that strives for independence.  I see a return to the entrepreneurial spirit of discovery.  I see unhindered freedom of thought and action feeding a fire of creativity that inspires us to unimaginable heights.  I see new expression given license not just by the masses, but by structures of a government which truly follows the will of the common man, and not the will of an elite few.  I see America breathing full, eyes wide open and alive.

However, this potential future would have to come at a considerable cost.

America has so strayed from its founding roots that it now hungers; starving for lack of nutrients from its natural soil.  As with all other catastrophic societies of the past, we have been manipulated and conned into overlooking and over-rationalizing astonishing injustice and in some cases, unmitigated evil.  I frankly don’t know what else to call it.  There are some acts of malevolence that go beyond human weakness and inadequacy and reach into realms of calculation that are so cold, so soulless, there is simply no other way to describe them.  These actions and attitudes tend to run rampant in dying nations but are rarely singled out and criticized by those in the midst of the great fall.  Each begins with the loss of particular principles and inherent morals that are normally prized under more healthy circumstances, but are despised in times of chaos and uncertainty.

This begins with the rise of moral relativism.

All Is “Rational”…

The concept that our inherent conscience should be set aside at times in order to achieve a “greater good” is a long running philosophy that has led to some of the greatest evils mankind has ever witnessed.  From Plato’s “noble lie”, to Machiavelli’s politics of subversion, to the Marquis De Sade’s insane fantasy world without self limit; such men and those who adopt their ideals have proven that intellect alone is no magic ticket to a well balanced society.  Indeed, intellect without intuitive conscience can be a tool for rationalizing the most horrifying of crimes. 

In America today, we have quite a few moral relativists at the helm of our government, and many more who would advise them.

Ralph Peters, a retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel and former campaign adviser to John McCain, known for his array of Islamo-fearmongo books and novels, is, in my view, a perfect example of the moral relativist in action.  Talking points from his writings are parroted constantly by Neo-Cons and now Neo-Libs who feel compelled to defend Barack Obama’s continued blood-letting in the Middle East.  Peters asserts that American troops and warfare tactics must become essentially as monstrous as the enemy we fight in order for victory to be achieved.  This is excusable, in his opinion, because America is the “good guy”, and they are the “bad guys”:

http://www.freeman.org/m_online/apr04/peters.htm

Ironically, Peters often uses the example of Rome’s genocidal attacks on Carthage as a primer for his arguments, loosely comparing the “barbarians” of Carthage to the “barbarian” Muslims of his War on Terror.  His position; that Rome was safest when they were absolute in their brutality. 

What Peters ignorantly overlooks (or perhaps deliberately overlooks) is that the fall of Rome was not hastened by outside “barbarians”, but by Rome’s own barbarity and stupidity.  Rome’s elites provoked and gave birth to enemy hoards through their relentless acts of bloodshed across the known world over the course of centuries.  America is set on the same exact path with the help of men like Peters; claiming that our principles stand in the way of our survival, and that all targets are fair game and all means are acceptable as long as we prevail.  The problem is, as Peters admits, one should never declare actual victory in the War on Terror.  Thus, by his own logic, there can be no conclusion, only an endless cycle of death perpetrated in ever more diabolical ways.

Nations that take on this mentality of pure destruction without boundaries lose all high ground in the annals of history. 

It is not enough that a country or a culture should survive; it must also be worthy of survival.  Recent debacles in Afghanistan, including the deliberate killing of 16 civilians (which I’m sure Peters would attempt to advocate), show clearly that the longer you try to occupy a foreign nation based on false premises, the more it will eventually start looking like Vietnam, along with the toll of madness and depression that overtakes soldiers after multiple tours of duty fighting a war that makes no sense to them anymore. 

Science Supercedes Conscience?

In the world of Bioethics, Moral relativism has been refined to an artform, and the prominence of bioethical arguments is expanding considerably here in the U.S.  The reason for this can be tied directly to the elitist adoption of environmental activism as a vehicle to promote morally relative social policies.  The field of climate change continues to offer the most ample venue.  If the very future of our planet is supposedly at stake due to the mere creation of carbon emissions, a product of almost every human action, then all aspects of human life come into question and eventually, lend themselves to taxation, regulation, and domination.

Despite the fact that climate research labs like those at the CRU of East Anglia and NASA still refuse to release the source data for their experiments supporting their assertions that man causes global warming, and the fact that East Anglia’s rigged computer modeling methods were exposed through the Climategate emails, the Bioethics community continues to use manmade global warming as the boogieman rationalization for scientific tyranny.  This includes suggestions of medicating the populace in order to make them more “empathetic” to the dangers of climate change:

http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/how-engineering-the-human-body-could-combat-climate-change/253981/

The climate change dynamic invariably leads to calls for population reduction.   Arguments have been recently presented stating that because newborn babies do not have fully formed cognition, they are “not yet human” and should be susceptible to legal abortion (of course, men like Steven Pinker, Noam Chomsky, Carl Jung, and many others have proven that there are multiple inherent qualities to children at birth, and Bioethicists have no idea how much of our personality is a part of that, but hey, who am I to argue with a Bioethicist):

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/weird/Killing-Newborn-Babies-141014423.html

For the ancient Aztecs, high priests used the fake threat of the solar eclipse and the swallowing of the sun as a means to control the people and force them to conduct human sacrifice to satiate the bloodlust of their rulers.  In America today, we have high priests in the garb of pseudoscience who use the specter of climate change annihilation to seize similar control and condone clinical human sacrifice to satiate the thirst of environmental elitists for depopulation.

It Always Ends In Cannibalism…

People eating other people is just one of those aspects of extreme decline that the collapse of civilizations seem to illicit.  It goes against all natural law and even our animal instinct, but in a land where principles are rejected wholesale, it can become commonplace.  Most animals avoid turning to cannibalism because their very genetics demand that they continue the species.  This is very difficult to do when one’s own species is self consuming.  Even if conscience were never a question (which it always is), our very DNA should prevent us from such activity.  When it does occur, with extensive participation by the general populace, it is a sure sign of a culture on the edge of a full-on swan dive into epic seventh circle of hell-style calamity.

This is why anyone should feel rather disturbed and sickened at the news that companies like Pepsi, Nestle, and Kraft Foods are working with artificial flavor manufacturer Senomyx, which uses aborted fetal tissue in the creation of its products:

http://healthfreedoms.org/2011/06/01/aborted-fetal-tissue-used-to-test-new-food-additives/

The Senomyx patents which include fetal tissue use (HEK Cell lines that express hetero oligomeric taste receptors) can be viewed here:

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.htm&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=Senomyx&d=PTXT

Senomyx and the companies associated with it have made a wide range of assertions surrounding this practice.  Some deny fetal tissue is used at all.  Others argue that it is only used in the “testing” of certain chemical flavorings.  While the consensus is that human material is not actually present in the final food products of the companies involved, I find it a bit disconcerting to know that dead fetuses are being used to test better flavor enhancements for someone’s next soda or slice of cheese.  Regardless of how you may feel about the issue of abortion, you have to admit that this lack of respect for human remains for the purposes of profit when numerous alternatives exist is chilling. 

This news, along with the revelation that hybrid rice containing human DNA has been approved by the USDA, tells me that someone out there REALLY wants the average American to dive into at least lighter forms of cannibalism:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-440302/The-rice-human-genes.html

Given these developments, it is only a matter of time before present technological food practices take another step forward into even more questionable realms.  Is the “Soylent Green” method of cannibalism more acceptable than the Aztec form of cannibalism?  No.  Ultimately, both stem from a complete lack of regard for life; a regard that usually keeps societies from tearing themselves to shreds over the rolling boil of a stew pot.

Moments Of Clarity Lost…

The above examples of undesirable trends are only a taste of the stampede of modern tyranny that we must brace for and defend against in the near term.  The most important factor of all is to understand why a social condition causes us pain.  In regret, and in sadness, that which makes us human is most distinctly felt.  Our inner voice, once lost or forgotten, is difficult to retrieve.  The ease by which the darker side of life presents itself becomes enticing, and, the good we were once capable of fades. 

America (and the rest of the world) is at the most important stage of historical life; the stage at which the people choose to leave all reason behind to ride the mangling tides of fate, or, choose to stand and fight for a clarity of sight one could only define as individual destiny.  Regardless of the circumstances we are eventually faced with, one difficult truth remains; without a sense of honor and principle, there can be no liberty, and therefore, no society worth a damn.  Some see this as a handicap in the battle for transparency and truth in our culture.  I do not. 

In the end, HOW we fight is just as important as WHY we fight.  The example we set is just as important as the ideals we espouse.  The way we live is just as important if not more important than the length of our time on this planet.  What we leave behind after the dust settles and our land driven forms remain but cast shadows in the minds of generations we will never meet, is what makes us who we are.  Anyone who says that the “ends justify the means”, is not serving the future, but the moment, and that moment will be harsh and fleeting…

Excellent synopsis.

"And yes, it would be monumentally stupid to allow the AGW crowd and their supporters to continue on their merry ecofascist way, regardless of the truth or falsity of AGW. Their proposed solutions to the supposed problem are unequivocally not justifiable regardless of the truth or falsity of AGW. They insist on (completely unnecessarily) attaching morally repugnant solutions to the hypothetical problems, making it blatantly obvious that, even if their hypotheses are entirely correct, this is really about power and control."

I have long marvelled at the ease with which my "liberal" friends have gone from questioning authority to enablers of authority and refuse to see the time released hypocrisy of this position.

Now, they are traversing the last fatal mile of moral & ethical decay by calling anyone who questions "manmade global warming" a denier. In essence a heretic.

Which is a purely theological approach to science...lol.

Because the regimen of scientific discovery is nothing more than postulating a theory and then setting out to disprove it yourself which they refuse to do.

They have accepted a theory as fact despite the "loss" of foundational data supporting their theory along with the attempted coverup/suppression of yet more data which stands against their theory...yet are astonished no one has the faith in it that they themselves do.

An amazing display of garbage in-garbage out "science".

Using cheap money, traders exhausted producers within a few years. Citibank, Deutsche Bank under the auspices of the European Central Bank swept everything. They were the "pace-setters" and all the other banks of Europe were following. Abundant money turned industrial capital “useless” and this is what "shut them down". The “bombarding” of Europe was total and absolutely “leveling”. Within just a few years all the Western production was moved in China in just a few steps. Western countries ended up in total unemployment. The elimination of productions and the control of the market by the traders made the supreme capital of Copyright come true. This is the Club capital. The empire has started to “rise” over the dead “bodies” of factories.

To stop people from reacting to this destruction, they used money to create the illusion of an unseen and “mysterious” economy of development and prosperity with no production; A new economy making money out of money; A new economy that could give someone the chance to make his/her living without the necessity of work. Based on the logic of this new economy, the only people who had to work were the “lower class” and they were in China. All these “illusions” were created using cheap money and over-loaning of either "non productive” countries or “unemployed” households. Loans have reached simple people too and this is why there was no reaction at the time of destruction on behalf of the peoples. Actually, the Jews have “bought” their apathy. They “sedated” them to avoid reactions before destruction.

The terror in the Greenspan’s eyes, while he was explaining to the American officers the causes of the financial fall is particularly revealing. Experienced “Keitel” knows that this will not be his last apology. He knows that the worst is yet to come. It is a sure thing that the worst are following. It is a matter of time to seek the private “conquerors” of the Planet and to put them on trial for crimes against humanity. It is also a sure thing that even the “mucho” Kissinger should be in panic and stuck in one of his luxury “holes”, as we write this text. Either way, he cannot move outside USA for some years now without being threatened with arrest.

America (and the rest of the world) is at the most important stage of historical life; the stage at which the people choose to leave all reason behind to ride the mangling tides of fate, or, choose to stand and fight for a clarity of sight one could only define as individual destiny. 

I think we all know which route our society is taking.  The great thing about the Founders is that not only did they have innovative ideas, but they also took action.  That's how you make change.  That coupled with raw ambition to accomplish, to create. 

We, on the other hand, are a fat, complacent society.  Our kids grow up coddled by sedated parents, teaching their kids that life is fair, in schools that preach equal outcomes from no action---just show up and you get prize (no first place trophies, as that would offend the average students).  They grow up, get their Underwater Basket Weaving degrees while incurring loads of student debt, then demand you give them a job that pays six figures.

Ours is a medicated culture, numbed by billions and billions worth of anti-depressants and anxiety medication, slogging on with the daily grind, buying iCrap to distract ourselves (and the kids), running up debt, etc. 

Meanwhile the nation creaks to a crawl---savers and wealth creators are vilified by a corrupt and statist government, encouraged by a complicit media, egging on the great unwashed to demand an ever-increasing share of a diminishing pool of wealth.  A recipe for fiscal and social disaster.

We are boned, my friends.  Truly boned.

Quite recently read an article (somewhere) in which an officer in the Navy told the interviewer that he has a major problem with his personnel because they are simply not able to understand the necessity of doing a thing simply because it has to be done. They all expect some sort of reward merely for performing the most ordinary of duties. He blames the "educational" system.

conscience is a subject not generally studied and therefore not generally understood

brandonSmith says here that "it" is inherent;  i would concur

he also mentions "intuitive conscience" as a necessary add-on to "intellect":

"such men and those who adopt their ideals have proven that intellect alone is no magic ticket to a well balanced society.  Indeed, intellect without intuitive conscience can be a tool for rationalizing the most horrifying of crimes."

here, altho we all "know what he means", the terms

  • intellect
  • a well-balance society, and
  • "intuitive" conscience

may not have the same meaning to his readers as to himself

yes, something very important for humanity is going on, right where he say it is, too, but the symbols he uses seem to end in cliches

some very interesting teachings and "fragments" about conscience have been published in the last 100 years;  i know of several places where they are studied, primarily in "parts", but not always, due to the nature of the teaching, teachers and students, themselves

personally, i have been interested in these ideas since the late '60s and you would probably be amazed at the time, energy and furtunes in green stamps i have invested in these "schools" which also study other parts of the "whatever" too.  if you thought "microcosm" you may have been paying attention, somewhere along the line, yourself

boomers are such fun to have around and support, aren't they?  i want to personally thank all you moronic shitheads for the fuking crackers and milk, today, too!

objective is your introjected idea/symbol here

i did not use the word, as i'm sure you would know

thus, i was already "careful" about going into my understandings here b/c of all the trolls who are "invested" in muddling and get paid to explain why my ass hurts when they get it all worked out...

so, i hope you get paid a nice, big bonus for getting me, conscience, objective and sociopath in with a warning, too!  only 14 words!  amazing!

is there a viscous sick-0, somewhere, now?  if so, thank you for blowing the whistle!

btw, what you say is also false, of course 

if you are a real person, you will want to understand why, which is good and which i will address sometime with you, if you wish, after you think about it and why it is so important for you to clown around with me, here; with such word-power, too!    L0L!!!  but if you just wanna be somebody's BiCh, tell me more about yourself, ok?

*meh*

"intuitive conscience" sounds like fancy words for "empathy" - which is assigned to the lesser species "woman"

if the men can laud "intuitive conscience" so as not to be tarred with the "sociopath" brush, then they still get the "men" label, not the "pussy" one, with all the messy e-motions & feelings. . . "intuitive conscience" is so "intelligent". . .

me?  I like that "conscience" is two combined words - Con. . .Science. . . *hints*

not everything is false, not everything is true - we all exist somewhere in that mix, until we don't.

as i tried to say, his meaning there might not be clear to others

nothing to do with gender, tho, that i saw, but i'm not you...

from what i know, neither does conscience have anything to do with gender

it is about being human, and i'm not kidding or trying to get away with anything by saying that, but your tools of analysis will not work for this the way you think they willl, apparently, if i understand your *meh*-ing here

you simply do not understand me and you are kinda heading in the wrong direction, too

again, i think the author is right that there is something very key going on: right about where he sees it, too

but it is not entirely easy to understand that particular terrain without studying it carefully, imo

indeed, you are NOT me, which is a great awareness to have - that any "me" is not "you" - I also like to re-cognise that although I am not you, I am not I either, in the macro-cosm wide-angle sense. . .

but by not being me, you do have the privilege to ignore "gender" as you are obviously male, which for time immemorial, is the default human, the standard of measurement. . . which leaves the "female" as something image-in'd in relation to the the "norm" being male, and in these latter days, that would be allocated sex object - women are perceived via their sexual worth to men, first and foremost, and whatever scraps are leftover they can fashion into their "unique" flavour of personality. . . that's how wearing the suit of "gender" works - and is graphically illustrated when one scientifically investigates "gender role playing" ie, cross-dressing, trans-gender, etc.   gender is role-playing the cultural appearance and habits of "either" polarity, drag queens, drag kings, it's all a great big pantomime!  lol

being human? where does this take place?  as default human, I'm sure you believe it happens daily, wherever your bike 'n' feet take you - that's what being privileged to be recognised as "huMAN" gets ya slewie, the privilege of being perceived as norm, the privilege to come "here" and flirt with the "girl" avatars (beware the imposters!! they lurk!!!). . . I may not "understand" you - and let's face it, you delight in playing obtuse, and I also enjoy your creative rantings for the most part - but if you desire "understanding" you'll have to drop the role-playing and point to what it is you want understood. . .

duality is the mind game on this particular planet at this particular time.  to understand anything, the tool used is "this, not that" - there is measuring of things and naming of things to own concepts, and lots and lots of ME involved. . . the magic of knowing everything IS, and has relevance whether ONE likes it or not, this is being bred out of the "Human" - and no amount of "intelligent conscience" will fix this, because it lacks empathy, it lacks the recognition of how each (thing, person, animal, etc.) is important, and connected, overall.

of course, if the OP (and/or yourself) is just trying to re-name empathy so as to create a man-product that won't be mocked as womanly - like hair gels and smelly soaps, well hell, who am I to jump his sales-man-ship?

1) Anti Global Warming Shit. I don't know  if there is or isn't global warming.  I think carbon tax credits are asinine, but the Hannity/Limbaugh frothers are generally the ones dissing global warming. 

2) Pro Life Shit. The anti abortiionists just want everyone to breed, but scream if they have to do anything to help feed, educate, or otherwise care for/about the living results of said breeding.

3) Aztecs were Cannibals Shit. Why do some people insist upon believing that ancient civilizations, of which we have proof of their superior architectural & engineering skills, were none the less inferior to our present day "greatness" and thus must have practiced human sacrifice and/or cannibalism?

2) Pro Life Shit

Right on dude!  In fact, we need to further expand abortion!  We currently have 1) pre-birth abortion 2) partial-birth abortion.  We need to round this out with 3) post-birth abortion, aborting those who I deem to be an inconvenience to me.

And, dude you are first up on my list of fuckers inconveniencing me, burdening me - I nominate you for the worlds's first post-birth abortion.

Congratulations.

How about a woman pontificating about abortion: http://www.barnhardt.biz.  She's a warmongering religious nut but she gets things right about 2/3 of the time.

Scroll down to the part where she talks about ObamaCare's "abortion surcharge" of $1.00 per month, to be billed as a separate transaction from the rest of the premium. This abortion surcharge will apply to every policy, even if the sole policy holder is a man or the elderly. EVERYONE will be billed $1.00 per month SPECIFICALLY to fund abortion. ObamaCare is mandatory.  Read more about it here:  http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/12/obama-admin-finalizes-rules-1-abortions-in-obamacare/ 

Only two explanations make sense to me. The less-evil explanation is that Obama wants a list of all Christians who will stand on their principles, so that he can disappear them right before he declares martial law, cancels the election, whatever.  In the New America, moral people cannot be trusted.  Therefore, they must be pre-emptively destroyed.  Resisting gives Obama his list, and the legal excuse, to steamroller Christians with a juggernaut of Federal power.  Recently approved assassination teams and recently manned FEMA camps will be ready for those who refuse to offer a pinch of incense to Caesar.

The more evil explanation is that the Satanists who are really running things didn't get enough Christians to lose their souls over 9/11 and Iraq, and the abortion surcharge is a plot to feed more Christians to Satan.  I was pretty much pro-choice before considering this possibility. Ann thinks Obama is the Antichrist.  I think the 666 calculations for him are too contrived, and besides, he is too stupid.  Satan's Manchurian candidate, perhaps.

damn, you just tipped your hand here. . . I didn't realise you were into the religious definition of the world.

how about framing the one dollar ObamaCare fee as a sort of sperm-tax?  as in, no one's being taxed currently for spraying their fertiliser all over the place, irrespective of whether it impregnates or not - the impregnated one is left to deal with the consequences of getting fertilised, which is falling on the "taxpayer" right now - I don't necessarily agree or like this notion, preferring EACH to bear the responsibility of their own actions, but be honest, THIS is not how the culture is set up, is it?

so IF there is zero responsibility assigned to the fertiliser, and therefore a "socialist" surcharge is made MANdatory for each - how about lobbying for a PATERnity test for every abortion, and let the fertiliser in on your co-pay?

think the Christians will be up for that?

I don't think abortion is evil and I am extremely grateful it is, somewhat, an available option because I have no interest in becoming (and remaining) pregnant any time soon.  I really don't understand you men, what on Earth would be an acceptable alternative in your mind?  Besides just close your damn legs you hussy.

Regardless I am glad to see your post, I emailed you about your newsletter, have you gotten the first issue out yet?

the eternal quandary, how to have yer cake and eat it too. . . everything would simplify if they could only acknowledge the part a man / sperm plays in pregnancy - it's a teen boy's point-of-view that there are no consequences to the act of fking - and this is still being used in lawmaking - all responsibility on the womb-holder, none (bar lawyering up) for the sperm-donor.  and of course, this is where a father-god religion that sees wombs as evil temptations for the pure penis to over-come plays its little part. . .

puberty amrka - get over it.

Even after this disturbing glimpse, I still would not support sending the pigs against someone who has an abortion.  I just won't condone it personally.  Can't really think of an acceptable alternative.  A male pill would be a good start, but whenever I hear of some promising tech, it disappears down the memory hole.  Someone doesn't want it to happen.

Got your email, thanks.  I will try to get the first newsletter out before the Iran attack.  Equinox new moon is coming right up; human sacrifice required.  Will be tight.  If not then, then by next month's Feast of Moloch new moon; child sacrifice by fire required.

I rather think the same "someones" who don't want to profit from a "male pill" contraceptive are at least similar to the ones who want to control the wombs of all females. . . it's all a part of history, rears its hydra-heads every so often, somewhere.

might be a jealousy thing, but most likely, just the same ole control drama.

This was really interesting until the writer got to "Science Supercedes Conscience?" and "It Always Ends In Cannibalism…" which totally lost me. I was reading those 2 sections thinking what the hell garbage is this? OMG. And then the last section became interesting again. The writer brings up a lot of good and valid points (without those 2 sections). We are at a cross roads and we are waiting for that spark that will set off the fireworks that will bring us to rise up against these evil people in power now. That spark will be coming soon, be ready for it and make your own personal decision: are you going to join the uprising or sit there and do nothing? Doing nothing has gotten us to this point. I will not be sitting on the sidelines anymore.

This guy's batshit crazy. 

He should stick to financial talk--his hat falls off when he ventures into biology and ethics.

"Cannibalism" is perfectly compatible with the continued survival of the species--the Polynesians practiced it for a very long time without self-destruction.  In a world with little available protein, cannibalism greatly improves the nutrition for the living.  We could consider whether it matters if you kill the people you eat or only eat those who die of natural causes, but in a world of moral absolutes, I guess it doesn't matter.

If Brandon says it is absolutely morally wrong to eat human flesh, so be it.  We can make him King.

Here is another "evolving" trend indicative of our societal decline - pedophilia. Yep, don't believe me? "They" are working to have this "condition" defined as a sexual orientation. Where will that lead too? Well, maybe something like this...consider the "hate" crimes bill and the creation of "hate" speech, a clever little intro of thought crime, since sexual orientation is a centerpiece to this legislation once that moniker is extended to pedophiles so will this extra protection. Indeed, just like homosexuals etc, pedophiles will become super-citizens too. Meaning more equal than others. So, at that point we certainly can't be judgmental in the least of their "lifestyle" and if current events are any indication reprisals will be swift and merciless - just ask the former Rutgers student who was charged with a hate crime after videoing his gay roommate. Fast forward to a very likely scene, let’s say its Thanksgiving Day 2014. All the fam is there, plus one more. Your son or daughter of 7 maybe 12 years of age is there with their "partner" of maybe 28 , 30 or 55 years. You...yes you cannot even whisper the slightest air of dissent...you can't! That monster is protected. In any other time this would justify the use of deadly force with extreme prejudice...but imagine if you did that and you were thrown in jail for a very long time too boot...again assault and battery plus hate crime. Let me be absolutely clear here - this is coming, its already happening!

If you are disgusted by what I just said, and I know too many people who were molested, then PLEASE start talking about this…do something, tell others. These are the same people who cry about “what’s best for kids”…my God, we now know what they think is best for them.

This is a personal thing for me, apparently its a laughable thing to you. You're literally sweating ignorance. Do this if you have the courage - google 'B4UACT' then come back here and let’s talk. And as pedophiles go, the Catholic Church has been quiet on that front for some time now...odd. Meanwhile, a week doesn’t go by without a teacher molesting a student. Given, you post above I'll go ahead and read you simple mind "hey dude some of those are hot teachers...man...I wish I coulda been that kid when I was in school".

haha you are a clown.  Where's the legislation pending to make pedophilia legal ?  Don't see that anywhere in the US. point it out for me. What I do see are laws making people who piss in public into registered sex offenders, laws making teens sexting to one another into felons, and the like.

Catholic church was shown over and over to be protecting pederasts. it was (is) absolutely endemic. why are you acting like it's some gratuitous remark on my part? they are the ones you should be worried about... Them and the football coaches.

Again, look up B4UACT...I dare you too. Coward. Current legislation to legalize pedophilia...you're right there is none, nor will it be something so obvious. Again you failed to understand the connection I made above. If B4UACT has its way no legislation is needed...making pedophilia a sexual orientation puts it under pre-existing legislation called the hate crimes bill. Ergo, not only a legitimate “lifestyle” choice but a protected one.

The Illuminati have always wished they could live out in the open.  Satanic ritual pedophilia is one of their key techniques for passing evil down through the generations.  They probably even see it as freedom of religion.  When children full of innocence and love are abused by their parents, and are forced to commit evil to temporarily stop the abuse, this creates the Eternal Scream which Satan finds most tasty.  As adults they will be dead inside, and capable of anything.  http://svalispeaks.wordpress.com/category/ritual-abuse-articles-by-svali/

The truth of the matter is that society has evolved into 5 kinds of people:

1) The sheeple (people who spend the time day in and day out working their basic jobs that fundamentally pay ther bills and gives them a decent standard of living with cable, wireless texting, facebook McDonalds, etc. while their spare time and mind is consumed by The Bachelor, The Oscars, Britney and her co-horts, and some of the other shows out there designed  to entertain the masses such as sports of all kinds,etc.

Not unlike the Gladiator circuses of the Roman empire back then.

2) People in the know that understand what's going on but are too comfortable living the good life with all the upper middle class and wealth they enjoy." Don't bother me,  me and my family  are doing great and we are having fun."

3) Destitute people who have little or  no income whatsoever or are incarcerated and don't give a hoot about what's going on as they are struggling with the basic necessities of life such as food,shelter and some freedom.

4) People who understand what's going on, want to do something but are powerless and supressed by the current environment This is a vast minority.

and finally,

5) The culprits,  or TPTB who are also  part of group 2 and is also a vast miority of that group and their priority is to perpetuate the status quo.....

Not surprisingly, we are where we are.
