i heard somewhere that a right is just a privalege if it can be taken away, in the same way an item is not owned but lent to you if it can be taken away, not sure if you were trying o say something more philosophical but good video
Appreciate your comments. I was simply discussing points from my last video from two days ago when I raised the ' Concept of Ownership ' It provoked some wonderful discussion & comments. .
If you get a chance - have a look. Feb 24th - ' CAN WE REALLY OWN ANYTHING '
An excellent video. I'm an American watching you, but the current human condition is the same everywhere. I also wish people lived to a better moral standard. As for ownership, I agree that many people do not have a full understanding of it. Ownership is control of an asset. The more free your society, and the more your society values personal property rights, the more control (ownership) you actually have. The worst of man will steal in any economic system. The best of us will not.
First class analysis . Glad you watch these little videos - hope they are of some use to you. I think you hit on one very serious point - that of ' Personal Morality ' - --- alongside ' Personal & Political integrity ' - both are values sadly missing from our
P2 They lead nowhere except to achieve the one purpose for which they are instigated: to conceal from oneself & others the evil in which men live & which they commit."
"There is not a single question which the men of our world can approach simply & straightforwardly. Every question, be it economic (internal or foreign), civil,diplomatic,scientific, not to mention religious & philosophical ones, are put so artificially & mistakenly, wrapped is such a thick layer of meaning & words & such sophistry & debate that all discussions of such questions go round & round in circles, grasping hold of nothing, like a disconnected car wheel."
perceived intelligence is very subjective. imo, jb, you are one of t/ most intelligent people in t/ world right now. youve got t/ scoop on t/ world we live in.
Well done on your video's etc. You're 100% correct. The sheep need to wake up. The problem I think also is that the sheep also need to change their 'natural' behaviour. That's the difficult part. They 'want' to follow 'authority'.
Taking responsibility for your own life and taking 'control' is the only way to live... Otherwise the wolves rule easily...
I think you will find the people who believe the government are also the same people who watch tv. People who do not watch tv are not believing this crap. The tv is programming, brainwashing people. To what end? I don't know. People need to wake up. Check out theantiterroist channel. He talks about this brainwashing.
I stopped watching tv decades long ago. Think for yourself is the best advice anyone can get.
Good to know someone will be making hay as Greece descends into anarchy and misery for millions of its people. The banksters are nothing more than psychopathic mafiosi.
Unfortunately so - the bonuses these Banking brokers/gamblers are awarded are huge & are meant to encourage crazy positions. When they get it right - massive bonuses - when they get it wrong - we bail them out.
In America is is common for one person to hold and insurance policy against the life of another person. The other person is often a business partner but normally a spouse. So it is a bet against that person's life. A CDS is like a bigger version of this but on the life of a company or government.
Appreciate your analysis of my triangle/pyramid shape of society. Regarding the Life Insurance Policy analogy - common enough practice in Europe , but the monetary amounts would be much smaller. However , with many of these banks - it is a straight bet & not a hedging bet.
1 of 2 comments. My version of your elitist pyramid in society works like this.
1. People always chose the safest course of action.
2. The safest action is that which gains the most influence over other people.
3. These actions are structured into ceremonies (procedures).
4. Each ceremony requires a sacrifice.
An early written example of this is in the Old Testament where Abraham offers his son Issac as a sacrifice to god. The most common sacrifices these days are money or time.
@jbyeats People are waking up! In the past few years I have been on youtube I see more and more people making vids waking others up to our world and numbers are getting bigger.
Very true - like all awakenings the Youtube world started with a very small audience - slowly but surely the videos are gaining listenership & credibility - especially as this crisis deepens.
You probably feel very much alone at the moment - But I can tell you one thing.
Ordinary people sense deep down something is very , very wrong . They are afraid to directly acknowledge what they sense. In the not too distant future they will gain courage & some will speak out
to their friends & associates. They will have overcome their fear - & there will be no going back. That point has not yet arrived - it is very close though. Thanks jb
We live in an inverted world, where most of what people think they know is at best warped, and very often the complete reversal of truth. We exist in a scientifically designed illusion, our perceptions are injected into our psyches like microbes into lab rats. As you say about the Roman Church, the slave-master, people still deify the Pontiff and break into hysteria just from seeing his countenance. Obama is still considered a Messiah even though he has become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
Excellent comments - our religious & political masters still hold a great sway on the people . The people want & need hero /worship figures - these leaders fill that need .
We are entering a extraordinary period where all the illusions will be tested & some will break down & collapse under the coming crisis. People who can think for themselves will be in a much stronger

Dear Power ,

world leaders today.

Dear Gnostu ,
The masses are dulled into political & economic submission . They are sleeping. .
Look at the levels of obesity , literacy - basic communications etc in Western Societies as an example.
They need to be awakened - but it will take a while - as they have been asleep for a long time.
Many thanks. jb.

The sheeple just will not wake up, even when faced with the truth.
I get the same blank looks when I try to explain whats going on in the world. Keep up the good work!.
