Question of the Day, 9/14

We keep hearing “authority” figures tell us we need to sacrifice our Liberty for security for the “greater good”. What is the greater good, if not Liberty?

You start out with a philosophical fallacy known as ‘argument from authority’. Just because they have position of power or is knowledgeable in a subject doesn’t make them correct in any statements they may say.

There is no greater good than liberty. The only rights is the rights of the individual. To have someone say the greater good is more important what is the ‘greater good’? Who plays god to determine that? What makes them any better to make such decisions?

Sheep don’t like liberty, it confuses and scares them.

Unfortunately people are easily raised to be sheep, or scared into being sheep. This is what keeps the 4th turning’s rolling.

It’s bait and switch. The elites have always wished to consolidate power by removing liberty from their subjects. “Security” is just a false pretense to do so.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

Is there really “liberty’ in a free range global prison? Can you say illusion?

TPTB are evil as Hell and giving up any God given right codified in the Constitution to any government much less a Leftist Secular Humanist one for greater security would be like a fighter pilot giving up his oxygen mask, ejection seat and parachute for greater safety.

Waht is the greater good? Morlochs and Eloi. It’s all about turning as many people as possible into Eloi. If you want to drill down even deeper, its about sucking all the life force out of people, like something straight out of Dark Crystal. It is a game to see how much evil people can stand before they finally flip, if they ever will at all. The jews never staged any serious mass revolts as they were marched into the gas chambers, and the ones that did only brought further shame and humilation to their comrades. It’s all about setting up these scenarios of mass death. Indead, it is the demonic push for the time when Death comes out to play. That time is coming. Because no one alive today can read the signs. Everyone who could, is gone now. Everyone who lived through the last era of Death is gone now. It gets back to the generational cycles thing. The power of Death itself rises and ebbs throughout history. It’s power is summoned by the various demonic rituals we see being performed in front of our eyes every day, for those who know where to look. From 9/11 to Madonna songs, these rituals are everywhere.
