Guess that I'll have to do less talking than usual. **wink**<br /><br />Thanks for your take on Glenn Beck. The difference in perception may well be an age thing.<br /><br />In many respects, Beck is a showman. Matches the politicians today, huh?<br /><br />As for the one world government, that idea has been around for a long time. The earliest proponent of it in the Oval Office was Woodrow Wilson, I think.<br /><br />Hey, you know what you should read? <i>Liberal Fascism</i>.

While I have heard the phrase often enough to not think of it as an odd or bad statement, the idea that a massive group of people rule the government(s) seems a little absurd. I may be wrong- I haven't researched this in the slightest- but based on what you guys are saying it seems like a case of man groups with similar goals, and in 'an enemy of my enemy is my friend' they help each other succeed. And while I haven't heard of any group besides the Freemasons (conspiracy 101 will let you know about those guys), one thing I saw intrigued me; the idea that Obama was a puppet of these guys. Can't say anything (lol, I say that allot) about the others, but he did always strike me as a front for something else- man is too stupid to be elected otherwise, especially since the Dems had almost guaranteed victory in 08 (unless the Democratic Party really are stupid)<br /><br />Only other note is on Beck: Personally, I don't find him off-setting in the slightest, and he is certainly easier to understand (and listen to) than most other tv/radio hosts. Then again, I'm younger than most here, and am used to a sound-bite media, so take from that what you will. <br /><br />-WildstarWildstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824904561080806597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-15137829196527361792012-01-07T13:59:34.630-06:002012-01-07T13:59:34.630-06:00Z,

I consider that notiion to be a conspiracy theory of the likes of "clash of civilization" and is a self-supporting notion to be used as an excuse to support other agendas.<br /><br />If anything continual events, particularly over the last 30 plus years has proven the fragility, independance, inconsistancies and base-human desire for power that brings such a concept or goal to its knees. From the idea of peace after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union up to the failure of unity within the European Union itself - it just will not happen.<br /><br />I would support the notion that there are a clique of oligarchs that wish, want and do dominate so much, and that they - not individual politicans or parties are responsible for the financial disasters that we currently face - but that is as far as it gets and if anything, they are now paying the price and are exposed.<br /><br />There most certainly is more than two sides to every story and that is the most important thing to remember - like a police or judicial investigation - opportunity, motive, defining culpability, who is the victim and who benefits must be considered. <br /><br />When one can get to that, the story is always very different and almost always more complex than one thinks.<br /><br />Free Thinkie, please do not consider this a mark of disrespect, I happen to like your postings and the majority of what you write.

I'm hardly an expert on her work, but consider myself a devoted admirer. <br /><br />Amazing how someone who died more than fifty years before i was born could become a "soulmate," but she has.

May I please suggest you keep ZICAM melt-in-your-mouth tablets on hand always, and take one IMMEDIATELY whenever you feel the first sign of a cold coming on? ZICAM doesn't pay me to help promote their product, but I can tell you it has worked wonders for me. I haven't had a cold in several years.

Yes. Emily Dickinson has...Good morning again, AOW.<br /><br />Yes. Emily Dickinson has functioned first as the Big Sister I never had. and later developed into a lifelong companion and cherished "confidante." <br /><br />The relationship started when I discovered her in a high school English anthology at age 14. By now I have read all her poems and letters, and committed much of her verse to memory. I even set 20 of her poems to music for high voice and piano many years ago. Unfortunately, the MS was lost when the briefcase holding it was stolen when some thug broke into my car.<br /><br />I have no one but myself to blame for that. It was downright idiotic to leave anything so precious unattended on the front seat of an automobile in New York City. A personal tragedy and a harsh "life lesson," believe me.<br /><br />I believe that all knowledge originates with astute observation, imagination and most of all with <i>intuition</i>. <br /><br />No data has any meaning without the insight and wisdom needed to interpret it properly. Emily's life, as a semi-recluse spent almost entirely in Amherst, Massachusetts, proves -- to me -- that understanding of the human condition primarily comes from within.<br /><br />After all, the Bible says, "The Kingdom of God is within you."<br /><br />One could easily spend several lifetimes trying to understand exactly what that means.<br /><br />Thornton Wilder through the character of the Stage Manager in Our Town said very few realize how wonderful life is while they are living it -- "Only the saints and poets do <i>some</i>," he said.<br /><br />There's more truth in poetry (and high quality fiction) than in any dry recital of assembled facts -- or so I believe.<br /><br />~ FreeThinke<br /><br />PS: <i>"Why do the nations so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing?

I read something about them at the time -- and dismissed what I was reading as conspiracy theory.<br /><br />When GWB was elected in 2000, one of my mother's friends said, "This is no real victory. He is [I can't recall the exact words, maybe "part of the one world government"]." I put off her words as the ravings of an old woman -- although she didn't die until 2010 or 2011 at the age of 95 or so.<br /><br />I've also noticed that many who talk about The Trilateral Commission, etc., are 9/11 Truthers. I don't believe that 9/11-truther stuff.<br /><br />About Glenn Beck, you said:<br /><br /><i>I wonder if Beck, himself, isn't part of the "plot," because his stridency and bizarre theatrical manner is so off-putting most intelligent educated people just dismiss what he has to say out of hand without really listening to it.</i><br /><br />I don't view Beck as part of any plot. But his very mannerisms and methods of delivery, as well as some of the strange things he has said, do not lead to his overall credibility. In fact, if I'ms having a discussion with a liberal or a Leftist and says anything similar to what Beck has said, then I lose all credibility too. **sigh** I have frequently engaged in such discussions with my neighbor from Canada; it's now reached the point that we're better off not discussing politics at all.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-46403031538345224702012-01-07T07:41:55.557-06:002012-01-07T07:41:55.557-06:00As Savage just said, the dictator is coming out of...As Savage just said, the dictator is coming out of his <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/01/savage-dictator-obama-coming-out-of-his-chrysalis/" rel="nofollow">chrysalis.</a>Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977090801334626461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-59474145653789676152012-01-07T07:25:22.431-06:002012-01-07T07:25:22.431-06:00I watched the Glenn Beck video, AOW, and have to s...I watched the Glenn Beck video, AOW, and have to say that while I dislike his style intensely, just about everything he presents is irrefutable.

The idea of a "plot" to establish One World Government or a New World Order (the same thing) seems preposterous and far-fetched to most normal people who believe the USA -- like England -- is immortal and indestructible, and will always be here.<br /><br />Not so!<br /><br />Tom Paine said it early on:<br /><br /><i>"Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must ... undergo the fatigue of supporting it."</i><br /><br />~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809)<br /><br />Freedom never has and never will be "free." We've been extremely lackadaisical since the end of WWII. We were the only nation who had The Bomb then. We had just won a great victory over the forces of darkness. We earnestly believed in our own rectitude. everything was coming up roses, and we felt invincible -- the sky was the limit.<br /><br />All the while the "termites" variously called "Progressives," "Liberals," Socialists," Marxists," Communists," "Fascists," -- whatever -- were busily chewing away at the foundation of our liberty, working to destroy the essence of our IDENTITY as a people. <br /><br />It doesn't matter what we CALL them, they all represent DESPOTISM disguised as "benevolence."<br /><br />It's only recently that I've begun to realize that "The Enemy" is not some far off "foreign" power, but the most powerful, dominant, ruthlessly ambitious segments of our own society working to establish an INTERNATIONAL society.<br /><br />The groups you refer to are called The Trilateral Commission, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Bilderbergers, The Bohemian Grove, Skull & Bones, The International Order of Freemasons. <br /><br />There has been a lot of nonsense published on the subject, and most standard reference works dismiss it as “conspiracy theory” or a “popular culture genre of fiction” etc., but there’s just too much smoke for there not to be a fire at the heart of it.<br /><br />Hear the words of David Rockefeller:<br /><br /><i>“Some... believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others… to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.<br /><b>If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.</b>”<br /> <br />"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nation will accept the New World Order."</i> <br /><br /><br />-- David Rockefeller speaking at a UN Business Conference, Sept. 14, 1994<br /> ________________________<br /><i>"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. <b>It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.</b> But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.

But from the time I was old enough to understand anything about politics, I heard conservatives speak of "the one world government," including various groups the names of which I cannot recall on one cup of coffee. I'm sure that you know that names of those groups. Was the Trilateral Commission one of the names?<br /><br />Was all that just conspiracy theory? It surely seemed so at the time -- but that was a long time ago (50s and 60s, maybe).<br /><br />BTW, "one world government" has now morphed into the term "the new world order," I think. Was that a term that George H.W. Bush used?Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-88617242253656505542012-01-07T04:41:13.277-06:002012-01-07T04:41:13.277-06:00Duck,

I'm thinking beyond if a tree falls in a deserted forest, does that tree make any noise?

It's reaching critical mass right now, and that's why many of us are finally starting to take notice.</i><br /><br />We have indeed reached the point that this oligarchy is "in our faces." How anyone can ignore what's happening is beyond me.<br /><br />I noted yesterday that a photoshop of Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette was <br /><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2012/01/racist-image-of-michelle-obama-based-on-versailles-painting.html#more" rel="nofollow">deemed racist</a> by the <i>LA Times</i>, and <a href="http://floppingaces.net/most_wanted/la-times-parody-of-michelle-obama-as-marie-antoinette-is-objectively-factually-racist/" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> is one blogger's dissection of the matter.<br /><br />Is every criticism of the Obamas "racist" now?<br /><br />When no criticism of those in or around the seat of power is tolerated, then the oligarchy is blatant for all to see.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
