OF THE
TIMES
Maybe things will turn out different this time?Maybe, but don't hold your breath. Maybe, too, human nature will change all of a sudden, but after 10,000 years of history, I would not count on that either. It is what it is - a few noble souls, angels in human form, sacrificing their lives for the good of the undeserving, fearful, greedy, lazy, unthinking, stupid masses. Perhaps there will be a cosmic catastrophe, or a nuclear war, and the survivors will re-think the purposes of human life, but absent that, I don't see any change coming soon.
"It has always happened that tyrants, in order to strengthen their power, have made every effort to train their people not only in obedience and servility toward themselves, but also in adoration. Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers.Notice the date this book was written.
It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.
While freedom is forgotten by many there are always some who will never submit."
The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude, Étienne de La Boétie, 1552.
"A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile. Like a savage, it is not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire and the realisation of its desire. It is the less capable of understanding such an intervention, in consequence of the feeling of irresistible power given it by its numerical strength. The notion of impossibility disappears for the individual in a crowd. An isolated individual knows well enough that alone he cannot set fire to a palace or loot a shop, and should he be tempted to do so, he will easily resist the temptation. Making part of a crowd, he is conscious of the power given him by number, and it is sufficient to suggest to him ideas of murder or pillage for him to yield immediately to temptation. An unexpected obstacle will be destroyed with frenzied rage."Some more of his thoughts:
“In politics, things matter less than their names. Disguising the most absurd theories under well-chosen words is often enough to get them accepted.” [...] “Overthrowing tyranny does not mean creating freedom.” [...] “The danger of autocracy does not lie so much in the autocrat himself as in the thousands of individuals sharing his power and each exercising it like a little despot.” [Link]I love the thinking of these great writers!
It was all quite carefully calculated and rehearsed. This link shows many photos of Hitler practicing before a mirror: [Link]As we had been told (in a society that did not glorify him), he got acting lessons from professionals. And kept on practicing.
Adolf Hitler studied Gustave Le Bon, and understood how to rouse his audience to passionate emotions.Albeit I'm not sure about Hitlerhimself. His handlers definitely.
Here is a wonderful mini-book on Bernays - one of the most important bookmarks in my library - if you read nothing else, this is one you should not miss: [Link] Good luck in your future education as a subversive skeptic!Thanks for that link. I have it bookmarked now. I recommend (even though it is from the BBC) 'The Century of the Self - Part 1: "Happiness Machines"' [Link] ...The old film from the early 20th century of Bernays (advertising before and after), when he was interviewed (very old), getting women to smoke, making presidents popular, etc.
Is human nature really that savage, or do the attempts to "improve" it make it so?My view is the latter...It is all game theory (zero sum [Link] thinking) to these people(globalists/Khazars and their ilk https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/the-truth-about-the-conflict-with-russia/) to as Lennon said:
“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” ― John LennonSo to boil it all down(I think).. the deception of a small group of oral law makers (circle jerk committees) have voted to exterminate others not from their tribe/group/class who they consider livestock/"useless people" [Link] To make them "livestock" all they have to do is declare them "livestock" by making them act as "livestock"(unruly crowds and social engineering/propaganda, "allow" extermination in mass). "Uncle" Warren Buffett is blunt when he says: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” - Warren Buffett
"I will shatter the Deep State, and restore government that is controlled by the People," Trump said.I think he means the part that is captured by the WEF/Davos crowd that want to bring the great reset upon us.
Not the American elite that sees it's businesses at risk, and which he represents.Good point. This has been a thing for America from the beginning...See 'America's Counter-Revolution The Constitution Revisited' [Link]
This book challenges the assumption that the Constitution was a landmark in the struggle for liberty. Instead, Sheldon Richman argues, it was the product of a counter-revolution, a setback for the radicalism represented by America’s break with the British empire. Drawing on careful, credible historical scholarship and contemporary political analysis, Richman suggests that this counter-revolution was the work of conservatives who sought a nation of “power, consequence, and grandeur.” America’s Counter-Revolution makes a persuasive case that the Constitution was a victory not for liberty but for the agendas and interests of a militaristic, aristocratic, privilege-seeking ruling class.The good news is that Trump represents nationalism or statehood over globalism. Nation states (with the flag waving) is decentralization of global governance...At least a step in the right direction vs WEF (I think). Trump though needs to come clean on the conservative Council of Foreign Relations though that the Republican crowd back doors to WEF.
Comment: Sounds like a great plan. Any chance it will actually happen?
