RE: Are There Any Heros Out There?
I'm glad that he is able to tell other that money created by the banking industry does not really exist. The industry creates it purely out of thin air and this system based on debt benefits no one expects for the banks and that is why they are so inclined to holding on to it rather than moving to something more distributed and equal such as bitcoin.
His talk reminds me of this talk a Muslim Imam did once where a Western Government can last for thousands of years but a country under Islam rule may only last a few decades. I agree with him how we should allow Islamic countries to fix their own problems rather than intervening, creating those who scorn and detest the west and have a life long pledge to defeat it.
Countries like Libya being left in disarray and carnage as The US comes to 'liberate it' with their bombs but it seems like the cabal would rather want power than peace and justice.
It seems like we are always trying to divide each other by looking at creed, race and religion rather than looking at the fact that we are all humans and we should learn to bind and work against these higher authorities rather than being farmed like cattle @onceuponatime
The central bankers' fiat fraud system is based on welfare/warfare and is stripping humans of their humanity. (Well past) time to secede from their paradigm that we unconsciously assimilated.
It disgusts me what the mentality of the elites are like. So barbaric and careless but it doesn't bother them as we mindlessly follow, letting the flames grow stronger while we think nations are 'helping' each other. Everything is for monetary gain
You wonder why the US keeps going back to Afghanistan. I think it is just a fad to suck the country dry of its natural resources and they have no care in the world if people die.
There was an interesting story from WW2; when Churchill made the decision to divert a grain shipment on it's way to Manchester, sending it to a more southerly port in order to feed people who were working at a military factory near London. It was deemed that the needs of the many (ie winning the war) was more important than the needs of the few (starving Mancunians). It made me wonder about how moral rules apply differently at varying scales of power. I'm sure some of the elites are nefarious, but most of the ones i've met are simply naive, doing what they think is best. Really, they are more akin to children than barbarians. I honestly believe that as soon as we infantalise them on an inter-personal level (rather than treat them as evil overlords), then we will win.
I think that Afghanistan is largely also about who controls the trillion dollar heroin trade. Nothing new. It was the East India Company which got the European powers into the Opium Wars against China (which, naturally enough, wanted to stop the massive effort to addict its population to the drug so that the British wouldn't have to give them silver for their tea)
If it wasnt for Winston Churchill, you'd be a Nazi speaking German today.
Sometimes leadership requires hard decisions. Not every decision can be structured as win-win.
Sometimes the only possible outcome from a decision is win-lose.
I remember something like that from the military. It was an exercise about a bomb shelter. You were given a list of people and you had to choose the one that would be left out. There were old people, rich, poor, skilled, unskilled, clergy, doctors, soldiers, pregnant women, children and the like.
The only wrong answer was to say you couldn't choose.
How is that relevant, even if true, to my comment?
Because your views are ultimately nihilistic.
You're not trying to be constructive, just shitting on the status quo.
We could all live in Utopia and you'd complain.
But I don't blame you, I like to shit on things too.
Which view(s) are you referring to? Perhaps you are projecting?
Sorry, I should rephrase, because views can't really be nihilistic. My charge is that your philosophy is nihilistic. So, what do you believe in? If nothing, then you're a nihilist. If something, we can work from there.
I think you're a nihilist because I once said the things you say, when I was a nihilist. You could call that projecting, but I call it sympathizing.
Yep the bankers own our politicians (which prohibited the government from working for the people).
I'm very hopeful that blockchain technology is going to allow us the opportunity to do just that. Creating our own blockchains is within our grasp now, and localization will only increase.
I want to take this time to bring something to your attention as well. I work with the Minnow Support Project, and I run a witness node to support it. I've been going through the witness list and cross-referencing witnesses that aren't active with people voting for them. I've noticed that you're still voting for @steve-walschot, @enki, and @dantheman. They're currently down and no longer planning on operating their witness. Would you please consider voting my witness instead? At the moment, I'm involved in the Fiction Workshop, work to curate content for @muxxybot, and also host the Fictioneer's webcast on MSP's Discord.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I apologize for just dropping this in the comment thread. A lot of us (witnesses, that is) have been making a concerted effort to bring attention to votes going to dead witnesses. :)
The money created by banks doesn't exist because it's created out of thin air, but the money created by Bitcoin mining is real?
Hmmm...
I'd like to work with you against these authorities. Perhaps this is the wrong place to strategise, but, roughly how do you suggest we do it? I figure privacy is important because if they are as powerful as i imagine them to be then all communications sent on Intel machines through ISPs are compromised. Do you know of a secure method of communication?
I think that the Internet was created with the idea of decentralisation. Multiple nodes which are interconnected to make this great network of machines but of course there was a way to centralise it.
Maybe with the rise of the blockchain we won't have to worry about that
How will Blockchain solve the privacy issue if the hardware it runs on is created by companies under state (& therefore financial elite) control?
If you're looking for privacy on a blockchain, you're looking in the wrong place. The blockchain's most attractive feature is its transparency.
You would think most would know full well by now that fiat has had no real value since it left the gold standard.
