parzival · 2021-09-26T23:54:12Z Dwoods44 I agree. It all accumulates. That's why it pays to have a good water system that will remove impurities like fluoride. Also detoxing using chelation methods, and etc. At 63 there are less toxins in the body than @ 23! Immune system is strong, uncompromised. People can do these things for themselves short term... Long term...entropy rules.

Dwoods44 · 2021-09-26T18:12:05Z Many cultures have elders who bring their wisdom to important issues. Prof Capaldi is one for our culture. We would all benefit from such elders. The powers that exist believe in social science. DARPA has their New Social Science 2 program where they study collective identity to manipulate the people. Is this a benevolent study? It is to control. The interview flowed beautifully. Nick showed how education at the college level has morphed into its opposite. In my view this morphing was manufactured over time. The story about the "Climate Activist" student tells you what has happened to education. Nick talks about the breakdown of family, and the result of it in the black community where 9 of 10 end up dead or in prison. In my view, this too has been engineered through RAP music becoming the example to follow. Nick recommends reading groups to create civilized conversation of freedom and equality for example. This sounds great for the literate who have been fortunate to read real literature. Our education system has dumbed down many. How to teach/reach them? In some way we need a rebirth of spiritual values. There needs to be equality of opportunity, but there is free will and choice as Nick states. We each choose and learn from mistakes, or we descend into moral nihilism.

sanhettenstaler · 2021-09-30T01:05:40Z "How Did We Get Here?" We can start with a poorly written "Commerce" clause in the Constitution. (Now interpreted to grant police powers to the CDC and its affiliates) And a poorly written "General Welfare" clause in the same. (Interpreted to facilitate the Nanny State, producing generations of entitlement disease, particularly corporate ) The authors thereof were the progenitors of today's corporatists/bankers/property swindlers. “The nationalists, placing their faith in persons and being skeptical of the people, were reluctant to allow a popular government to interfere with private business and not at all reluctant to conduct the business of government by interweaving its doings with those of private business and businessmen.” E Pluribus Unum p6 “The Founding Fathers, being skeptical of man's virtue, designed a republic whose actuating principle would be the opposite. The untidiness of the system necessitated that the operation of American government would ever recapitulate its process of birth. That is, the system was born of compromises—some arrived at openly and some under the table, some arrived at through ‘respectable’ means and others through ‘corrupt’ deals—and it could be made to work only through similar methods. So cumbersome and so inefficient was the system that the people, however virtuous or wicked, could not activate it. It could be activated through deals and deceit, through bargains and bribery, through logrolling and lobbying and trickery and trading, the tactics that go with man's baser attributes, most notably his greed and his love of power to those republicans who viewed the ‘grand question’ as what kind of national government should be created, rather than whether one should be created at all, the Constitution would be likely to be unpalatable.” E Pluribus Unum p194-5 " by 1787 a number of Americans had come to believe that even that modicum of democracy was incompatible with security for liberty and property. In thinking the subject through, James Madison and various others focused upon a feature of republics that had always been troublesome, namely, the tendency of men to divide into factions or parties and to put the interests of the parties ahead of those of the public." Novus Ordo Seclorum p162 That's how we got here. And this is but a wee drop in the ocean of evidence.

Yes power and greed corrupts; that is why this constitution has checks and balances, both between branches of government and between federal and state. The problem is not the constitution but psychopathic individuals without moras or ethics who have bought and blackmailed the congress, judiciary, the executive branch, and secretaries of state and governors of certain states. The American people are waking up to the narrative and the trolls.

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-10-01T22:22:55Z First, well, I can't let y'all talk about John Stuart Mill and On Liberty without quoting him on censorship from therein: (Free at: [ Link ] ) : Let us suppose, therefore, that the government is entirely at one with the people, and never thinks of exerting any power of coercion unless in agreement with what it conceives to be their voice. But I deny the right of the people to exercise such coercion, either by themselves or by their government. The power itself is illegitimate. The best government has no more title to it than the worst.* It is as noxious, or more noxious, when exerted in acco rdance with public opinion, than when in or opposition to it. If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. (Snip) But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. * " The best government has no more title to it than the worst. " Doesn't that sound like Twain? Rather, I should I say I bet Twain mimicked - and proudly. And: No society in which these liberties are not, on the whole, respected, is free, whatever may be its form of government; and none is completely free in which they do not exist absolute and unqualified. The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest. Second, re Mr. Capaldi, any relation to Jim of Traffic* or Karen of Colorado? R.C. *Saw them 7/94 in Orlando at a concert that was almost empty because they purposely refused to advertise (and play, as I recall) any of Windwood's smash solo stuff and they announced it in advance. I have always admired Steve for that. PHENOMENAL SHOW! I'd always learned to play every damn bar chord that existed, and watching that, it was there the light went off and I told self: 'Hey, dumbshit: Using a capo's a lot easier".
