The Great Awakening – Flat Earth

The Great Awakening – Flat Earth

This is a subject that I find very interesting lately, and not for the reasons you think, but because I think it shows signs of having enormous potential for waking people up, it is the present Flat Earth movement. Whether the earth is flat or round is irrelevant for this article, whether the people investigating it are as educated or more so than our renowned scientists, NASA etc is also irrelevant. I will not discuss any of the flat earth theories here, that is not the purpose of this article, the point is to observe how people react when presented with new information. I’ll leave a few introductory links at the bottom for anyone who is curious.

A number of Flat Earth You Tube videos approaching 500,000 views at time of writing.

Do You Believe In Freedom?

So You’re Against The Nanny State – Do You Believe In Freedom?

This is a simple question, and there is no ‘wrong’ answer. The purpose is to help us find any inconsistency in our beliefs. The question is: Do you believe in freedom? Ultimately this question boils down to ‘do you want peaceful adults to be free to make their own choices?’

Now many will of course think ‘No, I don’t want people free to make their own choices.’  Well, although I disagree with you, I do respect you for having the awareness to make that statement.

You cannot create equality by treating people unequally.

The Revolution Happy Meal: Instant Dependency

The Revolution Happy Meal: Instant Dependency

I could start this post with ‘The people are taking back power in Greece!’, but that’s a bit presumptive, so how about:

Are people taking back power in Greece with the rise of Syriza? Is Spain next to address corruption and look out for ‘the poor’ with one year old political party Podemos? Why are the Irish marching against water charges, with Sinn Fein (political wing of terrorist organisation the IRA) just about the most popular party?

The common element in each of these cases is they all hold extreme socialist policies. So when the people get angry and feel dis-empowered, they veer Left. So is this the revolution that has been in the air? Will these politicians remove the stranglehold of power and massive wealth from the 1%, to use the language of the day?

Marching is not enough, protesting is not enough. Waving a flag and demanding someone else make the important decisions does not make you a revolutionary.

Free Speech And Charlie Hebdo

Free Speech and Charlie Hebdo- what’s popular today?

With the attack on the Paris cartoonists the masses have taken to the streets, airwaves and interwebs to wave some pencils and make their well meaning although somewhat lame and confused voices heard. What happened in Paris, if true, is obviously abhorrent. Right now I am more concerned with the reaction by the public and political world, what is unfolding and where this may all lead.

Free speech is a wonderful thing, where and when it occurs. There are many variants, in that not all of us feel empowered or free enough to state our views, fear of ridicule or social exclusion runs through the human make-up. So it’s much easier to express, freely, popular opinions, beliefs etc. than to go against the socially accepted views. There is a need for humans to feel part of the tribe, to feel accepted in our community. In the past exclusion could result in enforced isolation, starvation or even death. Life is hard enough without being excluded from ones social circle, community or family.

The demand for newspapers to be policed by government is laziness on behalf of the public.

Government Cannot Serve ‘The People’

July 22, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Before we begin: There is no ‘The People’. There are six billion individuals with very similar needs but differing interests and desires. Sure we all need food but some want a vegan diet and others love a good burger. ‘The people’ is a meaningless undefined term, like ‘the poor’ and ‘the rich’. People vote and protest yet have not realised that this is all energy wasted, the government cannot serve ‘the people’, because ‘the people’ do not exist.

The slaves have yet to realise there is too many of them with too varying interests to be properly served.
