  • interesting view. odd that we have to pay taxes on land were supposed to own for the rest of our lives as well. If we do not pay, we are removed from it. Therefore the state itself has become the new nobility and the ppl like us the serfs, whom, are controlled by the puppeteer, which are the wealth that control us through the system of government and courts.. there is no true representation anymore. at all. quite possibly never has been, but then again, ppl used to own their own land outright.

  • Great interview.

    This is a reference to NEW WORLD ORDER plan.

    Aldous Huxley great writer and philosopher.

  • @orange11emilie Do some research and see how many millions in India died when they introduced capitalism there. These numbers mean nothing and cannot be attributed directly to the economic systems of capitalism and socialism. I support Ron Paul too but anyone who thinks that free market capitalism is the answer to every question you are delusional. Read some Marx he ended that argument 150 years ago.

  • @UtopiaMinor666 Any organized, or planned, system of government and economy will naturally need to be enforced. You will never have an entire country full of people who will suddenly agree to comply, forever, to a system of government. That's why there has to be planners and enforcers. The only alternative is laissez-faire.

  • @augerrusty Capitalism is based on voluntary exchanges. The major causes of poverty and unemployment in the country (and even the world) are the result of government control. Do some Googling to find out how capitalism lifted 6 million people out of poverty in Communist China back in 1979.

  • Aldous was a totally underated genius and prophet.

  • @RaykwonDaKilluminati

    The 'New World Order' isn't necessarily a plan; a plan is an option that somebody or some group of people decides to implement. The 'New World Order' is an inevitable progression of mankind. He's indeed making a reference to this progression, but he's not referring to it as something that is implemented by a person or a people. It's something that no single person or government can bring about. It arises with population growth and evolution/time. Whether it's good, idk.

  • Capitalism isn't free either. You are only as free as you can afford to be.

  • @UtopiaMinor666

    Marxist theory of communism blah blah blah. Communism only comes in one flavor - authoritarian. Even Hans Slomp lists it as authoritarian. There's never been a communist country that wasn't a dictatorship -- including under Lenin. Stop making excuses pinko.
