So you're saying you'll be the first in line to be arrested, hauled off to some foreign country and be jailed forever without trial or anyone knowing where you are? You forget about the Patriot Act right? NDAA 2013 and on?? Good luck with that. Don't forget to write us a letter telling us how well they treat you in Gitmo. |

Banana Republic : Banana republic or banana state is a pejorative political science term for politically unstable countries in Latin America whose economies are largely dependent on exporting a limited-resource product, e.g. bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy of business, political, and military elites.[1] This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions to exploit the country's economy.[2] Quoting: /7007/ [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] As of now, there can be no doubt or honest argument against the plain reality that the United States is a full on Banana Republic. In fact - the entire western paradigm is now based on nothing but trickery, obfuscation, dishonesty, cowardice, personal greed, and general apathy. Many of us are starting to plainly see this in our political and economic systems, but this pejorative term should now be expanded to include the educational, spiritual, scientific and entertainment oligarchies as well. - trickery, obfuscation, dishonesty, cowardice, personal greed, and general apathy abounds within all of it. This once great nation has been slowly and methodically lulled into a very sick general complacency -likening to a sort of hypnosis - where the very process of critical and rational thought has been intentionally drummed out of most of us at an early age primarily via our education, entertainment and spiritual systems. Worse still - we've been trained to pounce on and attack anyone or any idea that doesn't fit the general mold of these controlling institutions. That's not to say that everything we've absorbed through these systems is abjectly wrong, but we have been programmed to -at least initially- react in a knee jerk fashion to thoughts and ideas that reach outside of our own general understandings. We, as Americans at least, had the benefit of being warned by the founders themselves from the beginning of this republic. They made it very plain what would happen in the future if we surrendered our divine abilities of reason and critical thinking. Reading the thoughts of those men - as far from perfect as they may have been - immediately reminds us how far most of our general abilities to clearly think have literally DE-volved from the critical and rational thought processes prevalent in our early past... And the current political, military, economic, scientific, entertainment and spiritual oligarchies rely on our being 'dumbed down'. They can continue to operate only as long as the majority of it's 'subjects' are incapable of critical and rational thought. Only as long as we tolerate it's madness. Only as long as we do nothing effectual about it. Only as long as we refuse to take direct and meaningful action to change it. So - as in times that came before -in order for anything to improve or be improved - there must occur a revolution in thinking first - a breaking of the bonds which once again has found a way to bind us - a revolution in critical thought - a revolution of effective and meaningful action. Take this to mean what you will, but make no mistake - nothing short of a full scale revolution is necessary at this late stage. ...................... So very true, been saying it for years. But as pointed out men in America are selfish pussies. They would not rise up until their xbox is taken away, our their booze and pills. Then they will just attack whoever is closest to them. The idea of actively being men and doing what's right for everyone has been bred out of them. Cowards who will attack people who point it out, but not their evil masters, no, never the system. Work work work little slaves, and without numbers your guns do you no service at all. |

Work work work little slaves, and without numbers your guns do you no service at all. Everything single thought counts. For good or evil. That's part of the trap used against us, but it's also a key in breaking us free of it. If one believes there's no hope, that any resistance is futile - then for them there isn't any hope. They are willful slaves to the system. They add that energy to the system of control. Godspeed to them. But for those with the will and the stomach to resist the pandemic idiocy, the battle lies first in reclaiming our own sovereign thoughts, our own sovereign ideas, our own sovereign individuality......our inherent and divine value as human beings. So every rational and clear thought strikes a thunderous blow. Each freedom loving thought chips further and further away at the mechanisms of control - both in the micro and the macro - until the hundredth monkey effect takes over and rational and clear ACTION naturally takes it's course.

How do you expect to "fight" the system when they have the FBI, CIA, Armed Forces, Police Forces on their side. It would take a lot of firepower. We will see what happens with Trump and Sanders, but I think the voting is not fair in any Western country. |

Threads like this quickly fall away because it's too true. Knowing something is one thing, doing it is quite another. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72010680 mind control is to effective. it's over for the human species. bullshit and more bullshit is all that's on the horizon. Maybe you're right. I go back and forth with that one. But if that's the case, then I choose to exit this current asscarnival in the spirit of a free being even if I'm not free physically anyways - damn all their fucking torpedoes.

It begins in your mind. No need to wait for something to happen. Can be done anytime simply by quietly refusing to comply any longer to the abject idiocy demanded of us. Each and every thought and act of 'enough is enough' adds up and empowers the rest of us. It's cumulative. Last Edited by SyncAsFunk on 04/15/2016 02:57 AM Some Will. Some won't. So....... |
