I agree with some of his points but I think his apocalyptic views of empires are a bit much, but generally I agree with his ideas of government like their secrecy.
It's good you've formed your own opinion. I would say though that it true that no empire has lasted forever, and that all empires subjugated other people; that is after all how they came to be considered an empire, by conquering and ruling over lands that originally were not theirs. Whenever a people are ruled over, they are unable to experience true freedom and fully realize individual potential.
EYES...wide shut! We must handle our business, before it handles us. God bless him, even though I challenge some of what he says, and agree with others. It could be my naive thinking, or his. Oly God knows.
We don't have to agree with all that he speaks, but should in fact, accept the challenge to seek TRUTH, rather than tickling of the ears and flattery in genocidal tactics on a people...of every race.
Socialist from hell, the man is. If his racial, anti-individualist, anti-FREEDOM philosphy ever become prominent, this country would have a dictator (perhaps one to West's liking) and all the evil trappings that entails. He obvious doesn't care for the semi-dictator Bush.
That is an understatement. What he does wonderfully is call all of us into a higher state of being. We are challenged to not "sleepwalk" but to be conscious...awakened by our faith, community, and committment.
lets just lower the standard ~k ~raise taxes , hell lets enslave all the whites!
