G. Edward Griffin- On Individualism v Collectivism #4

PARTI 4 of 4 Interview of G. Edward Griffin on the meaning of individualsim vs. collectivism in the United States.

Let's re-learn the true nature of a constitutional republic, our culture and our birthright.

Know that any member of the Council of Foreign Relations CFR is prone to supporting COLLECTIVISM not individualism.

Vote for Ron Paul for President 08. Our last remaining hope for a solution to socialism, captivity, slavery and sloth.

Socialism has come to America.

[anyusmoon1]

@AmericanPatriot2008 Yes. :-( But it is probably more accurate to say Socialism came and outright communism is quickly supplanting it.

@anyusmoon1

Are you kidding me, Moon?

You'll never educate a European like me about Communism. Would you like to trade places with me, and come live here under European Union dictats? You do realize we have no power to elect or remove the people who truly govern us in Europe? You Americans are in the begining stages of what we went through 40 years ago. If you think the USA is already Communist, then what would you call us Europeans?

@AmericanPatriot2008 I know it's probably a matter of degrees but the 'toughest nut' in the western varieties remaining to 'crack' is nevertheless the most indebted of China. I sense its only a matter of time.

a.k.a.

Freedom vs. Tyranny

Personal responsibility vs. laziness

Producers vs Looters (or Moochers)

Free choice vs. forced compliance

Humans and all other animals in nature will automatically choose freedom over

being dominated unless tricked into accepting domination by means of stirring up fears (real or imagined). Many other psy op tactics are also used to deceive. If people can learn to recognize that they are being manipulated, they will choose freedom and liberty everytime.

[anyusmoon1]

@KDanagger I've come to find out, sadly, that people will also choose all manner of darkness over light. They will choose lies over truth. They will accept slavery for a known factor rather than animated contest of freedom in the unknown. The Personal responsibility v laziness factor you mentioned has nothing to do with psy-ops its 100% individual fault and responsibility.

But certainly, the gov realizes there are basic 'types' and they cover the bases, for sure.

[openupandsmile4me]

I totally agree.  It's either volunteer or be voluntold...just like the military.

[anyusmoon1]

@lmollot People will do all sorts of things to survive, even accept slavery. In fact if slavery is safe/peaceful, they will embrace it over the animated contest of freedom and service to God. These are the unwise virgins.

@anyusmoon1 if native matriarchies say they have an answer for this- i will not censor them- one friend told me "whoever grows their own veggies& nut trees - gets to eat- b/c slaves dont want to do 14 hr days/7 days/wk & die young of exhaustion anymore-seems logical to me

[anyusmoon1]

We do things at our own risk. ie us vs nature or us vs governments, laws etc. Many will say that laws protecting this tract is ok but that tract isn't. Private property rights are foreign to many cultures; I understand this but don't have any answer for making harmony in the same sphere. That sphere might be within eye sight or within hand shake- who knows? Once the Lord reigns all things of the flesh will pass away. Jesus brought spirit to each individual but few are on that narrow path.
