Aftre once again watching the direction that posts like this one by Jubal
seem to take....it makes me realize how great the divide among Humans is...
has been...and probably will always be....if it is changing at all it seems to be widening...Abraham Lincoln said...all men are created equal...I say...all men are programmed differently....it is very easy to spot those that were programmed with Love...Kindness....and Compassion...those that live for Creation...those that care only for destruction....those that care for all things...those that care for nothing..
not even themselves....
so for my what is probably my last post on Current...I do not need the negative
side...although I cherish the positive......I leave you with a quote of mine....
Golden Ruler....Johnnie HargraveWith all the various opinions of Humans......
they can not all be.........Right....
so what is................Left......
They could all be...........Wrong....... - 1 year ago

Basically the Monroe Doctrine and the Truman Corollary are dead policies that must be wiped away from the American Agenda. People in this country need to realize that we live in a multicultural America as was framed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Every human being on this planet has a right to basic things that the earth itself provides. Who gives a fly FFFF about private property rights and all that bullshit. Money, Property and Prestige are what have created the inequality in the world. People are allowed to own entirely way to much shit and money they will never need.
For every person who has more than they need, there are at least 1000 who go completely without.

If you check U.S. History, you'd see there was plenty of Mexicans west of mid-America. The Louisiana Purchase did not include everything west of Mississippi That was still Native Americans & Mexicans land, Oregon was under English American rule and Mexico ruled Southwest U.S. The whole reason why U.S. continental states has a straight northern border, the President at the time told the Prime Minister "We will not go past this latitude but we're stealing the land to the west coast."

They have made the same accusations towards environmentalists. We are all Communists who want to subvert freedom. As if planting trees is communist. Wanting clean air is communist. Wanting clean water is communist. Wanting climate balance to sustain biodiversity is communist. The ignorance of this is astounding, but clearly shows they have no ideas, no vision, and are nothing more than cliche' spewers who actually have psychological issues in that they fear change so much to the point that they work against they own better interests in order to sustain an ideology that has no basis in fact or reality.

Its called group think propaganda stimulation. And yes, corporations have people on their payroll to promote general negativity to disenfranchise voters and make them feel powerless to change the world around them. Their message is so simple....don't think for yourself, you can't change anything why try, just let go and let us...we'll do all the thinking for you. You just go to work like a good little citizen...pay all your taxes....support the troops....don't question our authority because we are experts....and don't rock the boat.
If that doesn't work, then they go all out attack on the most persuasive and popular speakers who have large followings.

The term " communist " derives from the same root words as " community ".
meaning united with one defense. It has nothing whatsoever to do with any
type of totalitarianism, dictatorship, or any legitimized mob Coercing people.
Imho, its a commonly misused and misunderstood term for the same reason
why we always hear the conservative rant against liberals, yet never have to
hear liberals rant against conservatives. " Conservatives " are too ignorant,
hyperaggressive, and hypocritical, and crooked to waste one's time with. - 1 year ago

Victimization of the poor is as old as the nation itself. The expansion of the west begining with the railroads that evicted, forced, killed and used every means necessary to fufill their needs. The exploitation of central american people by U.S. Corporations who bought the land many times illegally from the governments in power who in turn forced the people off the land was so common in the late 1800's and the whole of the 1900's that is part of the reason for poverty and people fleeing to the United States. Its kinda like we reap what we sow. Any person who fails to see the perversion of capitalism when millions of people are taken advantage of for profit by corporations to the point of poverty lack any morals and ethics that everyone should have and live by. Only in a dream.

I don't despise technology. I applaud and welcome it...but what I don't want to see is machines used to subjugate, enslave, and oppress people...like what is going on right now. Technology should make it possible for people not to have to work, but have more time for leisure and pursuit of art, music, and education. There is plenty of money to go around so that not a soul would want or need. But greedy capitalism has amassed so much wealth in the hands of a few who take the attitude that everybody has to slave and toil to just eat bread.
That is why I support the Zeitgeist Movement....Eventually we will have the type of system that was envisioned by Gene Roddenberry in his Star Trek TV Show. A world where we get beyond making money and instead share resources and technology.

If the person is not a troll then I apologize for calling them such. That part is an opinion.
You said earlier that you had attempted humor and that it was lost on me and I asked you to point it out. You didn't. Also you didn't address hiding behind anonymity....you think people really listen to what you have to say? Do you really think they take it to heart? HAHAHHAHAHAH When you don't even have the guts to be a real person on a forum such as this? HAHAHAHAHA....you may have your reasons for hiding in your anonymity....but your credibility is ZERO if you can't put a real face where that AVATAR is.
Also one correction to your previous erroneous statement.
I don't have a movement and I don't belong to a movement. I am one person, like you, stating his or her opinion. Again you keep putting words and ideas where there are none to put. Of course that is if you want to....which you can.
I am done addressing you directly and this will be the last conversation I have with you about any topic because you have not been reasonable with me...you have merely tried to discredit me, insult me, and put me down....so you lost me as a potential friend or acquaintance or whatever....can't say it was nice arguing with you....but be who you wanna be.

There has been a method to the madness since America was first conceived...
Started out being a place to send endentured servants and criminals...along with other places such as Australia...that was the equivalent to putting prisoners in a Hilton....and there was the problem of taxation...and freedom...so at a table somewhere....Men....sat and outlined a brilliant plan to let people feel free...
and let them think they control their destiny...even stage a little Revolution...
and also let them think they own their land...I can't help but think that most of those at that table were Lawyers....or Clergy....
people in America....don't have shackles on their legs...they have credit cards in their pockets...they don't reside in prison cells...well..at least most don't yet...
they buy and carry their own miniature cell with them everywhere....and the land
they own is in their possession only as long as they they pay the government the annual tax...
it is a Brilliant plan....it is an Evil plan.....taxation with representation.....
representation driven by Greed...and politicians needs....it is truly Just Us.....
The previous inhabitants of this beautiful land now called America knew something
very important...you can never own anything...but if you are not careful...it can
own you...and when someone is lying to you they are telling you something you
want to hear...if not you would not listen...

OK Here is another banned movie from the 50's that has a theme labeled communist. But you will see that its about workers rights, human rights, sexual equality, social clashes, people who have become the foreigners because America now controls their land and they weren't allowed equal rights as citizens because their grand pappy used to own that land. But now they are mine workers who are inadequate housing owned by the company. They decide they need better conditions and decide to strike. What follows is a typical confrontation between workers and bosses and it ultimately culminates in violence. But in the end, solidarity wins. Husbands learn that their wives are not just servants and the men regain their dignity by winning the struggle with the bosses.
