Another excellent video from Stefan Molyneux of freedomainradio.com

Whatever your views regarding organised religion, I kindly ask that you put them aside whilst you watch the following interview with Bishop Richard Williamson.

I do not subscribe to any of the organised religions. This doesn’t mean however that I lack belief in God. Quite the contrary. Many assume, incorrectly, that all those in religion are missing the point. Many are of course. One only has to see the rabid, non-questioning, absorbent brains (what little is left of them) of the fundamentalist religious movements, of zionistic judaism, of fundamental islam and creationist chrsitianity (to name but an obvious few) to know that masses of people are currently lost in a welter of pied piper mumbo jumbo, none of it anything much to do with developing a true relationship with the creator or deepening one’s understanding and love of the fundamental beauty and brilliance of life and the light and love that run through it and without which none of this would be possible.

You do not have to be “religious” to be connected. In fact it is often the case that peaceful, modest, decent people exemplify the golden rule more than those who actively spout off about their church or synagogue or mosque.

The encroachment of a godless world is what our would-be social engineers will have us endure. Bishop Williamson expresses some grave concerns about this in a way that most alternative thinkers will recognise. I was particularly struck by his quoting of G K Chesterton early on in the interview. Chesterton said:

“When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they will believe in anything.”

Of course, civilization is a really strange word for the construct we live in. One of the men in the know, being asked what he thought of Western Civilization, once famously answered it sounds like a good idea.

And one of his compatriots added: “It’s no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”

Today I came across another quote, just after reading about a story on Argusoog about janitors of apartment buildings now being trained in the Netherlands to spot domestic violence. This story, showing once more how far the invasion by Big Brother of our private domain has already come, is aggravated by personal experience: only a few weeks ago I got implicitly threatened by a doctor to report me to the Dutch ‘Child Protection’ Agency, after not allowing my one year old son to be inoculated with Prednison.

The quote I’m referring to is by Edward Gibbon:

“The Five Causes of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

1. The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society;
2. Higher and higher taxes: the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace;
3. The mad craze for pleasure, with sports and plays becoming more exciting, more brutal and more immoral;
4. The building of great armaments when the real enemy was within — the decay of individual responsibility;
5. The decay of religion, whose leaders lost their touch with life, and their power to guide the people.”

The story about janitors spying on people for signs of abuse and the first item on Gibbons list is of course what made me connect them.

Rarely in my Fifty Four Years have I ever been wrong. It is just one of those things I am blessed with. However I am holding my hands up on this occasion and declaring a lifelong error of judgement. I have been relentlessly critical of the Press and Television alike. I have blamed them for the deterioration of society, the mindless brain washing of the masses in addition to aligning themselves with the Government of the day as a propaganda machine. Their other transgressions are too numerous to list here but if you are the type of person I think you are, you know what they are anyway. Read the rest of this entry →

Dec 15 Bernie Madoff, ex head of Nasdaq, pulls off ponzi scam. Not.

A “Must See” video doesn’t come along that often but I feel confident in suggesting that Statism is Dead Part 3 (below) falls into that category. As succinct and comprehensive account of your true status as “Human Livestock” as you will find anywhere. This 16 minute presentation effectively summarizes the nature of our lack of freedom and most of the key systems of deception and dissimulation that are employed by those who farm us.

Now here is a man who knew what’s what. “The Free Press” may have been written some ninety odd years ago, but the observations and comments made by its visionary English author Hilaire Belloc provide a thorough guide as to the nature of so-called free speech within a so-called free nation. In fact, Belloc would have been most comfortable with the pioneering spirit of the internet and no doubt a blogger par excellence -

“I PROPOSE to discuss in what follows the evil of the great modern Capitalist Press, its function in vitiating and misinforming opinion and in putting power into ignoble hands; its correction by the formation of small independent organs, and the probably increasing effect of these last.”

The interminable disinformation put about recently with regard to the global financial crisis (which, by the way, has barely begun and to which all the wrong causes are being knowingly attached) proves Belloc’s point. The manipulation of consciousness through the covert control of the news agenda has become reality defining for huge numbers of defenseless viewers and readers. Belloc’s tight essay goes some way to providing inoculation against this infection.
