    We Need A Protectorate, Not Government.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBlonNuojtw Interesting discussion between G Edward Griffin & Vinny Eastwood. Stumbled onto Vinny's Eastwoods YT channel show a week or two ago. He's a bit like a slightly mellower Kiwi version of Alex Jones with a few droll one liners thrown in. Good to get an...

    Pension Debate: 'No One Has the Guts' to Let the Poor 'Wither and Die'

    Not addressing anyone specific, just howling at the wind. Totally agree with the gilded cage, and though dollar terms are the measure of the system we find ourselves in, unfortunately so is government, coinciding to build and guard the cage. Jeffo said a lot against Gov, I'd say he was a...

    Pension Debate: 'No One Has the Guts' to Let the Poor 'Wither and Die'

    Nothing wrong with passive eugenics, but when you use it to justify murder, incest and forced marriges, you're going too far. Choosing a mate based on a desire for beneficial genetic traits for your offspring is part of many unions. It shouldn't be the only factor, but it is one of the reasons...

    Pension Debate: 'No One Has the Guts' to Let the Poor 'Wither and Die'

    The assumption that any system exists at all without our active and complicit participation is a fundamentally flawed concept. Who wants to trade their comfort for liberty? Or is your concept of liberty so tainted that it is measured in dollar terms?

    Pension Debate: 'No One Has the Guts' to Let the Poor 'Wither and Die'

    TBH, I'd prefer to go out helping the Rebel Alliance defeat the Empire, but that might be considered terrorism and I'm not interested in doing it for religious entities who seem to be the only ones actively recruiting. Maybe, assuming we're okay with the elderly starving or freezing to death...

    Pension Debate: 'No One Has the Guts' to Let the Poor 'Wither and Die'

    Would it be justified to kill pro-euthanasia proponents and plead self defence? Personally, being concerned with the ecological impact of a rising population makes me somewhat supportive of depopulation, though I'm yet to find a method I'm morally comfortable with. My perception of humanity...

    JOTD

    The game of choice for unemployed people or maintenance level workers is basketball. The game of choice for frontline workers is football. The game of choice for middle management is tennis. The game of choice for CEOs and executives is golf. Conclusion: The higher up on the corporate ladder...

    Russia Launches Own 'SWIFT' Service, Links Up 91 Credit Institutions

    You said most of that already, and I didn't dispute it. "No comparison" is a strange way to define the difference between two systems though, it seems to imply they are the same, which I thought your previous statements were denying.

    Russia Launches Own 'SWIFT' Service, Links Up 91 Credit Institutions

    Just to be clear - I'm not pro or standing up for Russia. It's not a one to one comparison. My assertion is that the guilt of Russia does not imply the innocence of the west.

    Russia Launches Own 'SWIFT' Service, Links Up 91 Credit Institutions

    Fair call. Violence is obvious and corruption is common. Still happens outside Russia, though, it's just called something else. The inverted totalitarianism of lobby driven democracy and media manufactured consent is more sophisticated and subtle, but still evident. Western countries are not...
