Shucks, the fact that as is often the case, instead of backing up viewpoints with countering facts, it comes down to attacking me personally. Classic Saul Alinsky tactic. And proof that what I'm saying is hitting a nerve for one reason or another. I'll hazard a guess that those who cry loudest with the greater degree of mockery are those who would like to keep the facts hidden as they tend to have a vested interest in doing so.

Of course, it's to be expected from some to repudiate my character with an attempt to imply something I'm not without knowing me personally. To say that I'd be right at home on a forum that promotes racism is laughable considering my ethnicity and familial relation to an adopted sibling and in-laws who aren't of my ethnicity. Granted I know that those who have issues with me are in a protected clique within the forum. So be it.

Oddly enough, my only intent is to actually speak about truth. Granted I may make a comment or two about silly posts such at Post #12, etc... but those are few. And over the years here I've only strived to encourage people to think about Freedom first and foremost. Not the pseudo freedom of national-socialism popular on this forum, but Freedom as gifted to all humans by our Creator. The level of Freedom enjoyed by lesser species of animals that seems to elude humans simply because there is always a small group of people with money and power who view everyone beneath them. I suppose it is for this reason why many mock me... they have their little bit of useless power on this forum and attempt to laud it over those who disagree with their viewpoints. Which eventually results in the personalization of their attacks simply because they don't have the ability to refute differing views with facts.

It is what it is I suppose. In the end, I'm just plugging away out here in the real world watching and listening. I rarely share my viewpoints to anyone I actually know as that's really not my style. But since I don't know anyone on this forum personally, I feel comfortable sharing. However, unlike some, I refrain from getting personal as it serves no point and because I don't know anyone here at that level. It is after all, the internet. It's a game. Nothing more. :)

Dutch, if Deism really is a belief system you hold to, and not some aspect of trolling, then my statements about Deism are akin to an attack on a man's religion, and for that, I sincerely apologize. For the rest of it, you are the one hinting at a cabal "who seek to control the world." Spread the light to those of us in the darkness, man! Have pity on those of us who cannot see! And I must now apologize again, before slipping into pedantry, because simply calling something a "fact" does not make it so. The study of History (as an academic discpline, hence the capital "H") is not a boring recitation of names, events, and dates; it is, instead, the process of determining what is and is not a "fact". Satire is different from mockery, and it is you who have to come up with "the facts" to support your claims about those "who seek to control the world", not I. And, by the way, it is a game for me, too.

I would like to know the answer to that myself dutch.
If some people are secretly running the world, forum members would be interested in how that works.

Can you help a guy out here and expound further?

If I was wanting to "run the world" - I'd make sure I had plenty of capitol invested in leaders of nations/parties. I would then use that influence I just bought to guide or direct those leaders to embark on policies that may benefit me. Perhaps starting a war, or simply putting BOTG in some 3rd world country. Now, if I've got a company, or companies that provide socks and underwear to troops, my profits just increased. If my boy I supported in the last election has fixed me right, I'll have a juicy government contract to provide ammo, tires, etc...it adds up quickly. (and leaves plenty to roll right back into the next election)
How many folks went to jail after WWI for these kinds of activities?
How many of the neo-cons that Reagan put in place, and W let guide him really are looking out for America's best interest?
