I can never tell the posting difference between Jake and "Right Winger." They both live in an alternate universe.Although you have never accomplished first best with me, poseur, there is always a chance. Uh . . . no there is not.Dale has no clue about things of which he speaks.
Really? Then why do you always come out second best when you attempt to debate me or discuss an issue, Joke Starkey?
Well, Joke Starkey, use the search feature here that USMB has so generously provided for us and pull up a thread in which that you believe you made the most coherent points in a discussion/debate with me.....I'll wait.
Both of them are definitely stuck in the matrix as well as many others that buy into this "left versus right" paradigm. It's all smoke and mirrors...an illusion that people buy into because reality is too frightening to them. What they don't understand is that you can't fix anything until you realize that it is broken. Turning up the radio so you can't hear the weird noise that your car is making doesn't make the problem go away. Thankfully there are posters like you and a few others that are "awake" and more and more people are waking up and have thrown off the programming.
I think one of the main problems, the more I study it, is realizing exactly WHAT the Deep State is. Peter Dale Scott, who trained far left wing Cynthia McKinney, basically help to make me realize this. The Deep State is ALL OF US. It is the capitalists, and the socialists. It is the left and the right, it is all interest groups hiding their true interests.
It is, essentially, all of us. Some more so than others, but all have a vested interest in corruption.
The further things go along, the more the corruption is a fabric of the very society we have constructed. Some understand this on a conscious level, others only understand it as far as their occupational licenses close out competition and the FED keeps the 401k's safe.
In some small way, the bank bails outs saved those with investments, but held back the future potential growth and security of the US. It made a global police state even more inevitable. But if you have a retirement plan, what do you care about what is going to happen in fifty years?
Does one really need a license and certificate to cut hair or do a brake job? Not really. It causes market in-elasticity. But it is good for the education cartel, and good for conditioning the minds of those who get those certificates through 20 years of schooling.
Entrepreneurship is discourage, and the establishment, the STATE, controls economic activity, with a light touch, but controls political thought with a sledge hammer.
This works in all sectors of the economy, from the most ill paid blue collar trade, all the way up to the most elite white collar power positions. Everyone has an interest to protect.
Either consciously, or subconsciously, protecting the corruption has been made good for everyone. Why would middle level intel agents and journalists get on board with a central government stripping away the natural rights of sovereign citizens?
Short Term financial gain, power, advancement, and security.
So what is in it for these posters? Is it as Ram Fan believes, paid shills hired to do a job, or folks protecting their interest in a corrupt system? If the later, we need to understand them as probably the decent folks that they are, helpless in their situation, only trying to protect what little they have left in this crumbling and uncertain world. . .
This is a quote by Orwell on Dickens which sums up their attitude pretty well. It is not about the system we have, it is more about their attitude on human nature.
"Of course it is not necessarily the business of a novelist, or a satirist, to make constructive suggestions, but the point is that Dickens's attitude is at bottom not even destructive. There is no clear sign that he wants the existing order to be overthrown, or that he believes it would make very much difference if it were overthrown."
