Now, before I begin my rebuttal, I do want you to know that I really am trying to have a serious discussion with this on you. Text makes it very hard
to convey tone, facial expression, and hand gesture, so at times I will probably sound condescending. Just know that none of this is a personal
attack, I am merely playing the devil's advocate, and trying to help us both by challenging your statements. Debate on an a subject should force you
to either reinforce, or adapt your views. You should also enter into any debate with the acceptance of the possibility that you are wrong.

You're not clearing things up, only obfuscating it, by nitpicking at definitions and semantics, which has comprised much of this post. I have better

Well, I'm sorry, but having come from many years worth of training in debate, speech competitions, essay contests, Toastmasters International, and
various other such avenues of education, one of the most important aspects of a persuasive arguement, time and time again, has been to use the correct
terminology.
I know it doesn't seem like it from my previous posts, but I am on your side. I'm not convinced, as you appear to be, that it is currently taking
place, or that it will happen any time soon. But I do believe it is important to keep the fear of a One-World Government alive, so that in the future
we never make the mistake of allowing it to happen...
And I'll even leave myself open to the concept of what you are trying to say, but if you want to convince those who actually have an education in
government and political structure, it is
vital that you use the correct terms. And if someone, like myself, understands what you are
trying to say, and takes the time to listen and figure it out, and then when they do, suggests a more appropriate word, you might consider
using that word instead instead of repeatedly defending the wrong words.
Either that, or you should set up an explanation of your blanket terms, at the begining of the dialogue. I realize this might seem redundant, or
unneccesary, but if you go and read any amount of classic philosophical literature, or legal documentation, you will find that this is the norm.

1. Liberals?
Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
See, I still have to disagree here. Germany and Russia, in WWII, were both very authoritarian states, yet they still ended up on opposite sides of the
war. China and Japan are perhaps even better examples, as in WWII, both were
extremely authoritarian, dogmatic, bigoted, and had an orthodoxy
dating back thousands of years, and yet still ended up on opposite sides of the war.
Additionaly, you still use the wrong word here. "Liberals," as I understand the term, are just as prone to bigotry, orthodox views, authoritarian
attitudes, and dogmatic practices. For instance, PETA (about as liberal a group as they come), if they had their way, would force the rest of the
nation to take their views on animals and enact strict laws and harsh punishments for those that broke them. Any strongly religious Liberal is
already, by definition, following dogmatic practices. Some Liberals have traditions dating back hundreds or thousands of years, and adhere to them
strongly.
And just as important to the arguement is the fact that "Conservatives" can be just as anti-orthodox, nontraditional, and unbigoted as any Liberal.
My own father is a prime example. He's not very religious. Any traditions he has are traditions he made up to keep the family together (such as lunch
on Sunday). As for bigoted, he married my mom (a Native American) has a son (me) who's marrying a Latina, and acts as a primary liason to Japan for
his company. He enjoys discussing the Talmud with his Jewish friends, the Bible with his Christian friends, and the Quraan with his Muslim friends,
but subscribes to none of them. Yet he is very conservative when it comes to politics, because he believes that Conservatives have better fiscal
policy, and for the most part, has been proven correct.
You may think I'm trying to obfuscate the issue with small details like this, but I'm trying to help you understand that when you use a blanket term
like that, you are immediately going to alienate half your audience that might otherwise listen. Once you slap "The Elimination of Liberals" as a
tagline to the requirements for the NWO to achieve it's goals, any conservatives out there are pretty much going to stop listening to what you have
to say, because your message has just become, in their mind, nothing but liberal rubbish.
So again, I implore you, in the future, if you use this same strategy to defend your claim, that you use something besides "Liberal," and instead
opt for something like "Elimination of Political Diversity."

No. I'm sorry, but you're incorrect on this one. Ireland had the IRA. Columbia has FARC. Japan has the Yakuza. China has the Triads. The South China
Sea nations have roving bands of pirates. Russia has numerous terrorist bands rising up every day. And don't even get me started on all the stuff
going on in Africa...
I will agree that Muslims currently have an unjustly bad rep here in the U.S., but they are not unique by a longshot, they are only the most recent,
and the most recent ones to strike down thousands of lives in the U.S. Before you make a claim like "Always," "Only," "Never," or any
superlative statement, you must do your research. And proper research will almost-always prove that a superlative statement is incorrect.

This will be amplified after the next staged terrorist attack, and then you will witness as a backlash against the muslims, racial profiling by the
state and the people itself. Not only will the victims be Muslims, but Sikhs, Hindu, Jains, Indo-Buddhists and other foreigners with middle-eastern
and south asian looks.
Yes, sadly, I feel you are correct on this. I had become good friends with a Sikh, who owned a gas station near my old apartment. Twice a week I would
stop for gas and smokes, and we'd chat for a while before I left. He would tell me of India, of the Sikhs, and I would tell him of places in America
he had not yet been, and we'd discuss politics...
...and then 9/11 hit. It happened to hit right after I got gas that morning, at that same place... so I didn't need to go back for about 3 or 4 days.
What had previously been a cheery little stop with an open door and a friendly face, now had boarded-up windows and bars over the door. I entered to
find him staring at me without recognition in his eyes, only fear. He acted as if I were holding up the place with a shotgun. Concerned, I asked him
if he was okay, and a light sort of switched on in back of his eyes. He recognized me at last, and with a shaking hand, pulled two packs of Camel Wide
Lights from the overhead shelf and set them delicately on the counter, as if they might attack him at any moment. I slid my money across the counter,
and gingerly picked them up, wondering why he was in such shock. With a haunted look, he said "I didn't do it... It wasn't me. It wasn't even my
people," and began to weep.
Being a Texan, I'm not real comfortable in the presence of a crying man, so I left, but I'll always remember the look on his face, and can only
imagine the sorts of horrors he must have been through in the backlash from 9/11. Here was a man, rightly proud of his heritage as a protector of
India, who had come to America to seek his fortune, that he might bring his family over as well, and let them share in the opportunities this land
provided... and almost overnight, everyone he knew had treated him as if he had personally slain their family...
It is not a sight I will ever forget. It is the first time I was ever truly ashamed of my country.
But this was not due to some fiendish plot by the NWO, or by the Government, or by Shadow Puppeteers who orchestrated some intricate scheme. It was
the ignorance and anger of people who wanted to put a face to one of the greatest tragedies in American History. It was simply latent or blatant
racism, fear and ignorance, lashing out at the nearest person who resembled The Enemy.
If there were ever a nuclear attack on U.S. soil, or some comparable terrorist act, I fear it would result in a very short-lived genocide by the
people, until the government could get it under control.

half a brain, you need to realize that sometimes otherwise ordinary people will do stupid and hateful things because they are ignorant and fearful.
Sometimes individuals who work for the state, or the local, or the federal government will join in on these acts as well, but they are NOT an act of
the state. They are the acts of very very stupid people.
Ignorance and Racism will exist regardless of government, because of mankinds inherent sense of xenophobia against that which is different.

On the contrary. It is BECAUSE I see, that I DO care about elections. It's the people who do not vote that allow antichrists like Bush into office.
It's apathy like yours that allows a lapdog senate and house. It's that kind of attitude that lets the ignorant rule and the few to govern. You dare
to lecture
me on how I cannot see, when you do not even bother to vote?
I sat and watched every single minute of the debates. I followed Nader's stances and interviews with a Hawk's eye. I watched Farenheit 9/11 then
watched Farenhype 9/11 just to get both sides to the story. I read article after article, from as many publications as I could, and when I finally
decided to vote for Kerry, despite being in a "red state", I walked into the voting booth knowing that despite the fact the Texan electoral votes
would probably go to Bush, I was voting my conscience with as much information as I could obtain, and as much forethought and meditation on the
subject as was needed.
Your vote DOES count. It DOES change the government, and it DOES change the world. If enough people who didn't want Bush in office had gotten off
their stupid high horse, and come down among us "blind folk" long enough to cast their ballot, Bush would not be in the White House right now. Kerry
would. Despite what you think you know, the System DOES work. It works really really well. But because of this retarded attitude that one's vote
doesn't matter, or wouldn't make a difference, you ALLOW ignorant tyranny and oppression to continue.
You aren't a revolutionary, you aren't a seer, you apparently aren't even all that educated on the subject you're trying to discuss. If you were,
you would use any and all means to fight it, and that includes work both in and outside of the system. You want to make a difference, and talk about
how messed up our government is, fine. But don't expect me to think you anything other than an armchair revolutionary until you get off your lazy
butt and vote, because THAT is the only non-violent way that will ever truly determine who runs our country.

I never watch sports, almost never watch television, and while I do watch movies, it is to broaden my horizons and experience something I might not
otherwise see. I cannot stand most Hollywood blockbusters, and prefer the more independant films or offbeat directors. If I watch something for Eye
Candy, it is for the intrinsic artistic value of it, a visual and audial blend of beauty. My thinking is controlled by no one. I am spiritual in
nature, and fascinated by theology, but ascribe to no particular religion except perhaps Shamanism, but even then with a healthy mix of other views
thrown in. Every day I question my beliefs, and try to disprove them logically so that I am forced to defend my beliefs. If I find that they fail to
stand up against attack, then I adapt them or change them. As such, I've reached what I feel to be a very secure and enlightened approach to my
spirituality. I take every scientific announcement with a grain of salt, knowing that more things fail than succeed. If it interests me, I read more
on it, and if it doesn't, then I don't.
I am not the pawn you think I am. I am not a mindless Grunty who sits before the electric hearth at night, keeping myself entertained, and then drone
into work for The Man the next day. Every day I seek to enlighten myself further, and instead of rabidly clinging to a view, I leave myself open
enough to accept new ideas, or even the idea that I am wrong. And it is because of this that I do not automatically buy into your statements, and
instead argue them.

the U.S. Constitution is such a grueling process, and requires such a large majority, that it is almost impossible even with the absolute best of
intentions that everyone agrees with (much less something that many people do not agree with).
Did you do ANY real research on this, or are you old enough that the 11 Ammendments (almost all of which took over 100 years worth of work to pass) in

If you mean a metaphorical red pill, then you need to state what the metaphor represents, otherwise, I've got an image of you licking the TV screen

Secondly, you just got through telling us that we are effectively being brainwashed by movies, when you yourself are apparently using a movie to back
up your claims.
Have you even read "The Allegory of The Cave", that the Watchowski brothers said they based the movie off of?
Thirdly, if I condemn and ridicule, it's because the one I do so to has made an outrageous claim with no supporting arguements, and is spouting
nothing but cliche lines and regurgitated propaganda from someone else, instead of actually putting any real research or thought into it. NOT because
I was conditioned to, but because I long ago learned the hard way that you can't just make stuff up without those things, and expect to be taken

Indigo, I left the Matrix a long time ago. But I didn't exchange one blindfold for another. You really want to see? Then open your eyes and read,

True ownership comes from equity, land and property. If you own that, you don't even need a taxable income. You can become self-dependent.
I'm sure I'm going to regret this, but no, in fact, no one in America truly owns the land anymore. It is on lease from the state or federal
government. At some point, I'll try to find the specific legislation on this, it's been too long since I've read them to accurately go into much
more detail, but that's what it amounts to.

In the same way the rich are self-dependent, it's not because they earn income, it's because they own property and land, and generate a non-taxable
income from that. You are the worker/slaves that work your ass of 24/7 for them, pay high taxes, own nothing, and have to pay bills and the national
debt.
All that depends on the current administration and the tax laws of that year, and they do change with every administration, and every year. But the
true reason that the rich are self-dependant is not any sort of conspiracy at all, it's simply having the discipline to let your money work for you,
and having the buying power to buy smart, instead of cheap.
Two examples:
1.) If you set aside money in an interest-bearing account, and do not touch it, and let it ride, your money generates more money from the process of
loaning. The more time you let it sit, the larger it gets. Anyone who is smart enough to invest at an early enough age can be a millionaire by the
time they are 65. Anyone. If you put away a mere $2 per day into an interest bearing account, you can be a millionaire by the time you are 65. The
older you get, the more money you have to put away in order to achieve this. And the more money you put in, the more exponentially this amount
grows.
(Source: "Smart Women Finish Rich" by David Bach)
2.) Rich people can afford to be poor. They can buy more frugally. For instance, if a cheap $5 pair of shoes wears out in 6 months, but if a $100 pair
of shoes will last you 20 years, the poor person who always buys the $5 pair (because it's all that they can afford at once) will spend $200 on shoes
versus the rich person who spends only $100. The person who buys the 7oz. can of food for $1 gets a worse deal than the person who buys the 28oz. can
for $2.
Rich people end up being staying rich because they have the discipline to save early, let their money work for them, and spend their money wisely.
Those that don't, don't stay rich for long. It doesn't remotely require a conspiracy, it's just plain economics.

Or you are too overconfident for your own good? Have you seen these guys?
(snip of photots of cops in riot gear)
The only time I've ever seen these guys deployed is when the people got out of hand to a point when it was required. The Rodney King riots, the WTO
riots, and so forth...
And despite someone's opinions or right to protest, nothing gives someone the right to loot and destroy property. I personally experienced the
aftermath of the WTO riots in Seattle. I saw those riot cops with my own eyes, and I saw the destruction and looting committed by the ignorant
arseheads who dubbed themselves protestors. They smashed in Nike storefronts, grabbing shoes, jewelry, and other expensive items off the shelves. How
is that anything other than looting? They overturned BUSSES, and set them on fire. BUSSES! A people who should have been all for public transportation
to lower the pollution and traffic rate, were overturning these. Innocent people were brutally mauled, women were raped in the confusion, people were
robbed of wallets and anything valuable. How does this advance anyone's cause?
I was GLAD the police came out in force, and I felt sorry for them having to restrain themselves in the face of people attacking them. These weren't
nameless, faceless men and women who answered to shadowy powers and came from hidden legions in a secret base. They were normal people, like you and
me, who swore to uphold the law, and in the face of extreme violence, panic, and rioting, worked for over 30-straight hours to try and bring about
some semblence or order to the city, while having to wear over 100 lbs. worth of equipment, armor, and remain alert and on their feet. You tell me how
YOU would have controlled the situation.

See, you are living in the country of the US, and you don't even know this is happening, does that not illustrate what I said about the human matrix.
It's not that you are lucky, it's that it's not your turn yet.
I am QUITE aware of these sorts of things happening. I try to keep a very reasonable grip on current events, and in some cases, such as the WTO riots,
I witnessed the events with my own eyes. And then I watched how the media treated it afterward. They painted the protestors as martyrs, and the riot
cops as brutal opporessors. If these "peaceful protestors" would stop rioting, raping, looting, and pillaging, perhaps the riot cops wouldn't be
neccesary. Perhaps they wouldn't anticipate and deploy them whenever any sort of large protest happens.
In other cases, mistakes happen. It is a sad fact of life. Sometimes police get the wrong house, and that is regrettable. Sometimes a truly innocent
bystander is in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and a life may even be lost. Sometimes a gypsy cop may be having such a bad day that they end up
taking out all their rage and frustration on a person who resists arrest. I neither condone or excuse these things, but I do have the sensability to
recognize that they are the exception, and not the norm. I also have enough personal experience in events later reported by the media, to know that
they can often be so heavily biased as to not even remotely resemble the situation.
If a bunch of cops suddenly kicked open my door in the middle of the night, and drew guns on my family, then realized they had the wrong house, and
apologized, I would calmly send them a bill for any damaged property, and it would be replaced. Just like if a waitor accidentally spilled wine all
over my coat, I'd send them a bill for the cleaning, and dismiss it as a mistake. Because people are human, and make mistakes sometimes.
If they shot one of my family, I know that they would be brought up on charges, lose their job, be publicly discredited forever more, and the legal
system would most likely award us enough money to live comfortably the rest of our lives. While this would never bring back the life of my wife or
child, it would punish the system so much as to make it even less likely to happen in the future.
I won't deny that these things have all happened in the past. I know they have, but again, it is not indicative of any kind of conspiracy. It is only
a testament to the fallability of humans on both sides of the law.
