America: From Freedom To Fascism

Everyone needs to check out Aaron Russo's new movie titled "America: From Freedom to Fascism." Learn all about this eye opening project at this website url: http://www.freedomtofascism.com/index.html. Aaron Russo is not like Michael Moore who plays to the Left to increase polarization in America. He presents a truly American call to arms to wake up and take back our stolen liberties. He has already put up 100% of his own money just to make this film, now he needs the help of all those who still care about freedom to support the advertising and promotion of this project in any way you can. Pass this message along to everyone in your address book and tell everyone you know about the movie and website. If you can spare some extra money, then donate to this project. As I have said, Aaron has already put up his own money and given the last two years of his life to make this film, but it will take a lot more money to advertise and actually get the film to open in theatres all across America. Let's help Aaron open his movie this July with a bang all across America. This might be the best opportunity to come along ever to wake America up to the reality of what our government has done to our freedoms over past hundred years.

The Power of Now

I have been reading this interesting book on spiritual enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle titled The Power of Now.

The main premise seems to be that most humans are too caught up in worring about the past and the future. On the future side of things we seem to create this mental projection of different "what if" scenarios thas create fear inside us. We spend too much time dwelling and living in the past that we can do nothing about. According to the author the past and future do not exist, and the only thing that matters is this moment right now. To realize the present and discover Being is the ultimate achievement of true happiness and freedom from all forms of pain and suffering.

The author spends a few moments discussing what he calls psychological time in a section called "The Insanity of Psychological Time" that I thought would be appropriate for this blog.

You will not have any doubt that psychological time is a mental disease if you look at its collective manifestations. They occur, for example, in idealogies such a communism, national socialism, or any nationalism, or rigid religious belief systems, which operate under the implicit belief system that the highest good lies in the future, and that therefore the end justifies the means. The end is an idea, a point in the mind-projected future, when salvation in whatever form - happiness, fulfilment, equality, liberation, and so on - will be attained. Not infrequently, the means of getting there are the enslavement, torture, and murder of people in the present.

For example, it is estimated that as many as fifty million people were murdered to further the cause of communism, to bring about a "better world" in Russia, China, and other countries. This is a chilling example of how belief in a future heaven creates a present hell. Can there be any doubt that psychological time is a serious and dangerous mental illness.

When I bought this book I was not at all looking for material of political nature, but it appears to have found me. Funny how that works.

Myspace.com hate Walmart Group

I have now left two separate posts in the group called "Walmart is the Devil" on Myspace.com, which I have also posted to this blog. It has been over 15 days since my last post, and not a single person has responded to it. I guess these people do not desire to debate the merits of their beliefs, and that is fine, I just thought that my comments would elicit some type of reponse from at least someone in this group. I was wrong.

Walmart Must Ask Someone First

More comments from me in response to the current conversation taking place in the Myspace groupWalmart is the Devil. So far no one has responded to my previous comment in the forum, maybe this one will stir the pudding a little bit.

I agree that Walmart and Sams Club stores are large and zoo like, and I attempt to avoid them as much a possible for those reasons.

But I have a few questions for those who feel the same. Do we not live in a free country anymore? Can a business not purchase land and construct a building in which to sell goods to the local residents of the community in the free market without asking someone first?

Of-course they must ask someone first. Walmart, or Sams Club must ask the person or persons who they wish to purchase the land from (except in cases of local city councils abusing eminent domain) if that person or persons will sell them the land. Then they must ask or attempt to persuade the various individuals of the community to purchase items from their new store in order for them to stay in business. All of these various actions are voluntary on the part of all parties.

No ones natural rights to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness is being infringed upon by any of these aforementioned actions (once again, except in cases of eminent domain abuse on the part of local governments).

So I ask the members of this group, where is the tort? What has Walmart done to you that is worse than such programs as social security, which takes 14 percent of your income and gives it to someone else. When did you consent to this action? If you did not consent, which pretty much covers all of us, then that means this income redistribution program fell upon you by the use of deadly force.

What do I mean by Deadly Force? See what happens if you stop paying your taxes for a while. Eventually the IRS will contact you about the taxes you owe them. If you refuse to cooperate with them, a court date will be set to determine what to do about you not having paid your taxes. If you refuse to show up for court, eventually the guns will come out. Men with guns will come to your home to take away your liberty and pursuit of happiness.

That is called deadly force my friends.

Why can the government do all this without asking someone first? They did not ask me and they did not ask anyone else that I know if they could confiscate 14 cents of every dollar you and I earn to give to someone else.

The Hate Wal-Mart Mentality

I was wandering around Myspace tonight when I discovered an anti-Wal-Mart group. I am not a Wal-Mart shopper and I do not own stock in the company, but the hate Wal-Mart venom was so staunch that I had to post a reply. Most of the people speaking their minds about Wal-Mart were young, and I just wish that they would find someting much more noble to speak out against. Perhaps something that actually has the power to use deadly force to accomplish its' goals. My response was as follows:

Even though so many of you all seem to hate Wal-Mart so much, I find it odd that it sounds like some of you frequent the place more than I do - which is not very much. Almost everyone here seems to be forgetting a vitally important concept. In America we still have a slightly quasi-free market capitalistic society, and it is the consumers (read: you, me, and everyone else) who get to decide if companies such as Wal-Mart live or die. If you have such a problem with them, then I have the perfect solution for you - don't shop there. If you disagree with anything they are doing, you have the ultimate power to decide for yourself that you will give them absolutely no economic support.

It would be really wonderful if all of this hate Wal-Mart venom could be redirected at putting a stop to something much more painful and unjust to the American consumer. I'm talking mainly about the 15 cents that is taken from every dollar you earn before you even realize it is gone. I am talking about the ponzi scheme being pulled on us by our government otherwise known as Social Security. None of us has a choice to peaceably abstain from participating in this draconian program, and all of us know that it will not be there for us when we reach that sacred age of eligibility - what is the age this year 65 or have they raised it to 67 yet. How can it be right for the government to confiscate 15 cents from every dollar you earn as part of a retirement program, and not even be required to pass that money on to your next of kin should you die before you reach a certain age? Any company competing in the free market could not survive running a retirement program such as the government's social insecurity scheme, but we let the government get away with it.

Why?

I can't wait to find out why all of the "hate Wal-Mart" people give the government a pass on its' tyrannical activities, but torch Wal-Malt everyday.
