(If you want to save time, scroll to the last parts).
Lately, I have come to ponder some aspects of the current politics...
From what I see, our whole world, that is, Earth, is heading in a direction I don't really feel suits me.
Just as an example... Today I had talk with an American who visited my local bar... I asked him about his thoughts of the wars, and his responce was: "what war, the one in Iraq?"
I gently reminded him of Afghanistan...
And you know what? He didn't know much about it!
Now, contrary to my main number of posts, this is not about US bashing.
This fellow I talked with was a very nice guy, in all respects.
Anyway, he and me sat down... And talked things through. He opened my eyes, and I do think I opened his a bit.
Warfare used to be done with an agenda.
But hey, what is the agenda now?
Iraq - to make a pre-emptive strike cause they had WMDs... Only, no WMDs were ever found.
Afghanistan - to capture Bin Laden, only, some 8 years after we still haven't got him.
Now, as to my head line...
The people behind the NWO (new world order) theory claims that "fake" wars will be made so people will not complain as their civilian rights are taken away.
It's a revolution, but not one made by arms, but one orchestrated (sp?) so that the average guy will ask for the change himself.
When I was a kid, I LOOOOOOVED the G.I. Joe comics.
There is this one episode where they discuss why they should fight Soviet. I don't remember the exact phrasing, but it was something along the lines of:
"The communists spies on their own people. If you oppose the state, you can be carried away without getting a fair trial, you can even be tortured. This is what we fight against, and that is why America will WIN!"
Now, doesn't that seem like somewhat of a joke?
We have the Echelon, we have Guantanamo, we have waterboarding...
Sorry, this is a rant and I just came home from the bar.
HOWEVER, and this is my main question of this whole thread...
And PLEASE, do not reply unless you answer this simple question.
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."
My question to you all is:
Do you agree with me, that you would let the state have full insight in your lifes, only when you have full insight in the state?
That is the question I want answered.
I, for one, will only accept that the state has full insight into my life, if I get full insight to the state.
Is this agreeable by the mainstream in ths forum?
