The polls in Scotland will close this week on one of the more important elections in recent history… perhaps one of the only elections that actually matters.
Rather than a typical vote to see who the captain of the Titanic will be, Scots are deciding whether they want to be free and independent from the UK.
Every eligible voter has a say, and a simple majority decides the outcome for everyone else.
By definition, this is the PUREST possible form of the democratic process.
What’s ironic here is that ‘democracy’ is typically held up as the hallmark of free society.
Western nations have spent years (and trillion of dollars) force-feeding representative ‘democracy’ down the throats of developing countries at gunpoint.
Opening his second Presidential term in 2005, George W. Bush famously told the world that “it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture. . .”
Given the west’s big love for democracy, you’d think this instance in Scotland– the most fundamental example of the democratic process– would be able to take place free, unfettered, and uninfluenced by government.
Government, in fact, is supposed to be the responsible steward to protect and champion democratic rights. At least, that’s the BS they’re constantly selling us.
But that’s not what’s happening.
British politicians are scared to death that Scotland will file for divorce. So they’re doing everything they can to influence the outcome of this supposedly impartial democratic process.
They’ve spent an incalculable amount of money trying to influence the outcome, effectively subverting a democratic election.
Their claim is that the government knows better than you do. They say they’re doing this for your own good. If Scotland breaks away, your children and grandchildren will suffer immeasurably as a result.
In other words, you NEED US TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. You cannot function without us being in charge of you.
The British government is spreading untold fear, paranoia, and propaganda to drive this point home, all in an effort to influence the outcome of a supposedly free and fair election.
It’s incredibly hypocritical. And the government’s desperation drives home how fragile this system really is.
They know how much weaker and impotent they’ll be if Scotland becomes independent. And they’re terrified of it.
But here’s the thing– this isn’t even the real story. The outcome of the election is irrelevant.
The real issue here is that this election is even happening at all.
Bear in mind that human nature is highly resistant to change. This is the way of the universe.
Sir Isaac Newton told us that an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force of sufficient enough to overcome the object’s inertia.
In chemistry, activation energy is defined as the minimum energy needed to be input in order to produce a chemical reaction.
A wooden log in a fireplace doesn’t spontaneously combust. You must first add sufficient energy (heat) to the system before the wood will burn.
Until that activation energy is reached, no reaction will occur.
Humans are the same. Our natural state is to remain at rest. Overcoming our inertia is incredibly difficult. Doing so requires tremendous energy. And motivation.
The fact that millions of people in Scotland are even considering rocking the boat and radically change is very telling.
It shows there is a deep, deep dissatisfaction with the status quo. People are sick and tired of the way things are. The system has completely failed them. And they want change.
This is huge. And it’s a sign of things to come.
The dissatisfaction is growing worldwide. As I reported yesterday, the latest Gallup numbers show that only 23% of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the country.
Change is coming. And not just any change. Deep, radical change– a fundamental reset in the way we do business, the way we organize ourselves as societies, and the way we view money.
There’s tremendous opportunity for people who understand this trend and stay in front of it. And frankly I think this makes it a very exciting time to be alive.
Social Darwinism
“Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse.”
R. J. Rummel
“A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, and fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.”
Chris Hedges
“In this way people are thrown aside as if they were trash.”

The Aktion T4 Programme provided the expertise, the administrative practices, and the bureaucratic rationales required to build the mass extermination facilities and the camps.
The beginning of social Darwinism is financial Darwinism, the unjust and willful allocation of means and opportunity. This enriches the favored, and permits the oppressed to be more easily labeled as inferior, useless eaters, life unworthy of life.
You may try to help them, but they are sub-human, and stubbornly beyond redemption. It is a difficult task, but someone must do it. As the superior few, we must do those hard things for the good of all. It is our destiny. Thinning their ranks at a distance becomes easy to rationalize, and after a time a purely practical routine, like cutting the grass.
The root of it all is in the will to power, the desire of the few to determine the value of all life, and to define both good and evil, with themselves as the ultimate good. And their handiwork is not life, but a profound emptiness, the abomination of desolation.
They never have enough. Not enough money, not enough power, not enough killing. They cannot give life, so they will bring death. They fear weakness and death, so they attempt to be its master. They would be as gods. And in their pride they make themselves, and all those around them, into monsters.

What’s the Alternative to the Left’s Programme?
http://libertygb.org.uk/v1/index.php/home/root/news-libertygb/6540-what-s-the-alternative-to-the-left-s-programme
The reason, I dare say, is simple. There is among us a widespread fear or unease in proposing a kind of society espousing ideas and values (some of which from the past) that have been ruthlessly, thoroughly mauled and massacred by the Left.
We are, probably without realising, the first victims of leftist indoctrination. We may reject those ideas rationally, but deep down, emotionally, we have doubts. The Left’s are the views we grew up with, they permeated our culture, were ideologically dominant when we were teenagers and young adults. Our favourite bands endorsed them and were selling them with their records and their lives: sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.
At university, both professors and students were full of them; who thought differently was a pariah.
The most fashionable authors were Marxists of various kinds, from Freudian Marxists to the Frankfurt School.
It would be totally unrealistic to think that an individual can go through all that brainwashing, peer pressure and gentle persuasion by his pop idols without taking with him a persistent scar, a lifelong influence on his mind.
So, when we slowly – it took a very long, long time – realised that those ideas (that for want of a better word I’ll shorthandedly call ‘leftist’) were simply wrong, that they didn’t correspond to reality – didn’t “save the phenomena” as an obscure scientist named Sir Isaac Newton, among others, put it – and their acceptance and practical application were destroying both individuals and societies, we found our voice in denouncing them and their manifestations.
What we didn’t find in equal measure was the audacity, the resolve to recover and re-propose the beliefs and principles that preceded the leftist ones, and which the Left with its atheism and political correctness had demolished in our eyes.
