Political Opinion

Stopped at the point where the author states that information is power,.

There is no power in information, there is not even discernment in knowledge which is often perceived as the being rooted in information.

Power resides neither in information or knowledge - power is found in Wisdom.

The statement re being submissive to politicians almost caused the stop button - then maybe the words "give unto Caesar what is Caesars’ " seemed applicable.

Independent thinking comes not from youtube creators or my silly opinions or mainstream media - awareness of thought, that is who we are and our purpose in life comes from the very reason that we are here.

Totally ridiculous foundation. The questions are, what credible evidence does Jessie have to prove his claims? and if the crime is fake, why would he fake a hate crime? What would he accomplish with such a motive?

  1. If it’s fake, he’s a celebrity who comprised a plan to initialize an uproar in the LGBT community, and possibly incite a race war using his celebrity status and influence.
  2. If it’s real, his evidence is so weak, it’s similar to uttering, “Hey mommy, those two guys hit me”. And he’s seeking recompense for their acts.

So these two possible conditions are the only motives because one could ask themselves why does this case harbor such a great deal of media coverage for an assault against yet another homosexual when such an act is common? Then the answer becomes, because he’s a celebrity. Therefore this favors the 1st condition over the 2nd. The motive then is revealed, this entire case is a hoax to increase the popularity of furthering the current “Gay” agenda into society. i.e. Use celebrities to push it.

The question was in the title " In the mainstream media a threat to freedom and sanity?" I don’t see an answer to the question in your response,

My response to your origin of Power, you have that completely backwards, Power comes from the control of Information, keep your population ignorant and they are easily controlled.

Would you like to take a crack at the Juicy Smollett case, and the media trying to sell that hoax as fact. That seems to play right into what we are discussing here

Good response, I would say you nailed it. Being a victim and blaming a large sector of a already villainized portion of the population has been going on for centuries. Today motive is fame and money and for that reason these hoaxes will continue and we must not fall for them

More manipulation by the media, Boobtube has stopped listing the number of dislikes on videos. Clearly, they are doing this to satisfy channels like CNN and MSNBC who normally get like 20 times more thumbs down than thumbs-ups, while at the same time a channel like Joe Rogan or Russell Brand will have 100 thumbs up for every one thumb down. This is part of the democratic process and it has been taken away from us, how soon before comments sections are disabled for all content

I cannot really dispute much which has been said in th elast 30 or so posts by @30-Dimensions by @Dennis3450 and by @SmallPaul and yet we know full well that “Come the next Election” we shall be swamped again by the “Crayon Crew” whose aggression and childish stupidity will prevent the excercise of “Free-Speech” and actual consideration of the issues. Burying all before them under torrents of Crayon Pictures and Abuse. The cases we see in the courts just recently bear these same hallmarks - common sense under protracted and obvious abusive attacks !

This we can all see ! We can (mostly) agree that China and Islaam present huge and under-reported threats. Personally I’m non too sure about Russia in all of this and there are many who whould throw “Zionists” into the mix - but the current role of the EU and the USA Hierarchy are not self-evidently helpful !

In short it seems to be the whole world in direct attacks on what many of us would view as the most valuable parts of society.

ie those who believe in Competence, Self-reliance and the importance of traditional values (including traditional families) !

The facts are ;

  • The wars have been won
  • the inventions have been invented
  • Medical advances are at such a state that there are no real threats from disease etc left.
  • There is nothing real for people to be frightened of - so they simply invent “Stuff”

So “They” come out from under their beds - The Wimps, the Incompetent, the fools, the useless eaters,

They invent “victims” - whether that be in the guise of “The Planet”, Women, Blacks, Gays - “the Poor” etc etc - they are simply told that they are “Victims” - too useless to be of value and not capable of surviving in a world where competence is all you need to live well - and as such NEED to VOTE DEMOCRAT !

The thing is though that when those who see themselves as “Victims” and / or “rescuers of Victims” outnumber those whose brains have not yet been addled - how can there possibly be any “Return to normality” ?

Now we have seen that “Socialism” whether ir be in Russia, Korea, Cambodia, various African “States” or even Nazi Germany - does not work - but we have yet to see any real evidence that “Democracy” in the form of “universal Suffrage” works either. We know it has been tried in ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire - and the results have always been that the Plebs vote for “Free stuff” and “Sex orgies” at the expense of teh competent and traditional responsibility.

Why the current situation in “the West” should be any different - again fails to be self-evident ! (at least - to me it does!)

So whilst I don’t disagree with any of the specifics posted recently on here - I would ask any one of yous to postulate a feasible way forward ?

Thanks for reading :slightly_smiling_face:

No matter who is in office, there is an underlying system that cannot be changed.

Elections bring false hope and believing the president have more power than he actually have

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Yeah - ok - you’ve said that - ad nausiem ! - ! So can you tell us please ?

Now moving on ;

SO are you saying that ;

"All those who believe themselves to be free are believng falsely " ? - and if not - HOW do you know which ones believe falsely and which ones believe genuinely ?

I think your quote there - is flashy or showy - but without substance !

We’ve been through this before, so let me just say the people who actually effect change in America are the members of Congress. Congress is brought for and paid for by special interest groups, and those interest groups go straight to Congress to get things done in America; the president is simply the name and face with very little power.

congress can also pass laws in secrecy to keep the american people out of the loop

Although you are free, we know that our minds are being manipulated by the media and big corporations, including social media, have you not seen how social media excerpt their power over the last election, they can ruin people or build people up to fit their agendas.

You can look at it this way, those who control what we see, hear, or read control the behavior of the people, so politics is of little concern as long as they keep control, you know the saying

Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws. the same holds true with the media

There is a simple solution, stop voting for incumbents. Congress has a 10% approval rating yet 90% of congressmen who run for re-election get re-elected, Those lobbyists corrupt the system by buying the re-election of these corrupt politicians. We the voter do have some power, the problem is so much of the population has been brainwashed ( blue pilled) by media propaganda, they have no idea they are voting for the very thing they say they oppose

Dennis, I agree, but congress has put in place a system that’s nearly impossible to break. They also passing secret laws that Americans know nothing about that benefit only certain groups.

Secret congressional laws are getting out of control, critics say

After a public outcry over inside trading, congress enact a bill to stop themselves, but that bill was fill loopholes. the goal was to stop the public outrage and continue to do business as usual.

nobody can stop congress

At the end of their civilisation - the greeks executed those who had shown competence.

The Romans taxed competence to the state that the competent left their farms and businesses - simply disappearing into the night.

Both of these left their respective Empires and their “Welfare recipient Citizens & bloated Beaurocracies” to be ruled by whoever came walking down the roads next.

so much for “Democracy” ! :rofl:

The Competent are already walking away from any feeling that they are obliged to participate in the fiction that there is any fairness in what is now termed “Democracy”

Until now

Meanwhile, there are shortages of truck drivers, Electricity Workers, Construction Workers etc etc.

And who can blame the lads ?

A man with no prospects for the future - no hope of a decent family life - no hope of being fairly considered for ANY job or promotion - really doesn’t need that much money to live on - so Why the F*** would he work like a mug - to pay taxes to support the parasites who either don’t work - or who want to go into “Public Service” of some kind ? (there is no real difference)

Nah - a lad can earn enough in a few hours a week to fill his modest necessities - why go to the bother of “trying” - in a world in which you are simply not permitted to succeed ?

WHo is John Galt ?

dennis, let me give you a scenario, tell me what you think.

lets say donald trump lost the popular vote and won the first election.
now lets say donald trump won the popular vote in the second election and lost.
should the american people be mad either way knowing that we have a Electoral College system who really elects our next president?
