You're just saying nothing because you're talking out of your ass again, forming opinions on matters out of sheer ignorance rather than actual knowledge or information.

David Rockefeller is one of the richest and most powerful men in the world and on several occasions he's been recorded as saying things such as,

quote:

We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. - David Rockefeller to the Trilateral Commission, 1991

quote:

The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - Political, Monetary, Intellectual, and Ecclesiastical." - Sen. Barry Goldwater

quote:

I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election.....It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!" - Sen. George W. Malone (speaking before Congress in 1957)

I know that I'm tired of being lied to. I find it saddening that everyone else just seems to sit back and accept it

I'm glad that I found this article again since now it seems more relevant than ever before!

Those are the very qualities that they want you to exhibit, psychological impotence, acquiescence, self-centeredness and apathy.

They want you to keep chasing that dollar (like a dangling carrot) while ignoring all of the truly important issues of the world.

They want you to remain asleep and quite sadly, you seem too happy to oblige.

I've been going out too much ever since I was a teen.

I've been to all of the art galleries, malls, theaters, etc. and the bar and club scene gets really old after a while

Now I prefer intellectual pursuits over going out and getting my drink on. I'm sorry if that bothers you

For some reason there's this odd generalization when it comes to free thinkers who actually question what they're told. Almost every person I know who many here would associate with a non-sensical label are pretty well rounded guys/gals that get plenty of fresh air... amongst other 'stuff' lol . Such inaccurate generalizations are rather amusing.

I agree. WHen I hear people say they are too busy to care, or simply just don't care about current events, I just think how these people will be the last to realize their blatant ignorance. No wonder Bush is the president. Too many people are too 'content' to vote. Congrats you ignorant idiots who don't give a rat's ass. Anyone ever watch Jay Leno's 'jay-walking' segments? This is what I'm talking about. People who don't even know where Iraq is geographically.

listen to you two troofers patting each other on the bums

there's a difference between having a healthy academic/intellectual pursuit, and posting paranoid delusional crazy-talk in each and every thread.

im all for maintaining a certain level of consistency with one's own world view, but surely there are other topics worthy of debate that dont revolve around one world governments, secret elite plots, conspiracies etc. i think people make far less impact when they sound like a poor episode of the X files.

What's a troofer? And why does two guys talking remind you of bum-patting? PKC's jealous. I didn't know your wild fanatasies and imagination could do that to you man .

LOL, just look at this forum. It's full of conspiracy theories you twat. What is the single largest thread here? It's the "Do you believe in the 9/11 conspiracy?"

This entire country is paranoid. But, you in Australia would have no bloody clue. We are extremely dissatisfied with the administration and with so little inside information about what happens inside the most secret of these power circles, conspiracy theories are the logical result. Obviously something went wrong and is going wrong, and we are trying to figure it all out.

If the topic is not good enough for your superior intellect, by all means don't reply?

you fool. this comment shows a distinct lack of understanding. CTs don't care who is in power, that's the whole point. oh sure, its easier when a rightwing government that tramples your constitution is in office, but it makes virtually no difference in the scheme of things. if you think the current administration is the catalyst for the nonsense crazy people spurt in this forum then you are quite deluded. CTs are CTs no matter which way the wind is blowing.

i didnt mention my superior intellect now did i? in fact, my comment is more in relation to trancer-x's obvious intellectual capability, and maybe it could be put towards more thoughtful questions, rather than those topics that tend towards the paranoid.
