You'd have to take over either NAM or the CofC.

Heh, it is Friday so I can wear my tin foil beanie with pride (Friday is my personal Conspiracy day)!

In all seriousness, I watched the History Channel show on Stalin last night. Alot of the old Soviet goals and plans have been reincarnated by the UN.

But we in the US are much better armed than the Russian peasants were, and less easy to control.

Now we are told that our standard of living is increasing because we can buy poorly-made products at a greatly reduced price.

This sleight of hand lets the federal government pretend that there is no inflation, and therefore claim our standard of living is rising. Of course, they don't count energy prices, or housing prices. By counting wages, which are deflating because of competition with slave and very low wage labor, and the poorly made junk that is making the communists wealthy beyond belief, they skew the truth.

Since you are aware that the soviet goals and plans have been reincarnated in the UN, you must also be aware that those same goals have found root in the US. The education system, which was once meant to create individuals who could make well reasoned decisions and therefore become self governing, is now modeled after the collectivist soviet system. We have too many citizens, as seen on this post, who have no concept of individual rights and our responsibilities to maintain a constitutional government and therefore our freedom.

The influence of the UN in the US is much greater than most people allow. UNCTAD, ECLAC, WTO, World Bank, IMF,nearly all the instruments of globalization (except the US government) are subsidiary branches of the UN. While not directly under the influence, the US government has been corrupted by these groups, This consortium of anti American, anti individualist interests has a great deal of influence on the US and our policies, even our domestic policies. These organizations are demonstrably dangerous to the 'old America'.

They are not coming at us with weapons, but with philosophies that are subverting the citizens. Guns cannot protect us in this war, because it is a war of ideas.

Yes, we've reached the stage where I'm almost as distrustful of some of our business institutions as the government. Some years ago I drew the line at electronic bill-paying. I know once a company can automatically withdraw cash from my bank account I'm essentially screwed. It can raise prices almost at will and if I have a complaint or a problem -- forget it! There's no way of reaching anyone who can do anything about except to sit through hours of "Press 1 if you wish to speak in Urdu," too-loud bad music and endless harangues about new added-cost 'services' while on hold. The object is to extract more money or get rid of you.

I realize I'm a Neanderthal but I prefer to pay bills by check. Now I've learned my bank can't even track all checks that have cleared because some businesses do it electronically -- no paper. Maybe that's a worthy goal and perfectly understandable to younger folks. But to me it's a paradigm-shift, and an important, scary one. Control of my personal finances has been taken out of my hands. It's now just a tiny step to a cashless society where salaries are electronically credited to an account, then electronically withdrawn by anyone from the IRS to the grocery store. Anyone who realizes the impact of payroll withholding by the IRS and FDIC can see where this is heading. O Brave New World! Guess it's time to take my Soma.

We used to increase our standard of living by increasing wages, inventing new and better technology, and improving products and customer service. Those are the hallmarks of a strong nation with a robust economy.

Now we are told that our standard of living is increasing because we can buy poorly-made products at a greatly reduced price.

The psychological implications of this attitude are enough to doom us.

Exactly. BTw, I'm watching the CBS Superbowl Commercial Countdown on a 1966 Sony B&W TV as I type this on the computer I am on, a 1992 486SX/25 (running Windows 3.1 with 4 megs of RAM and 120 meg HD) since I'm in the room feeding my cats. B-) I am feeling a bit retro. B-)

Getting to that, there are some of our detractors who would say that we have it better now with the computers like the Pentium 4, internet and so on and they are true although they are not taking into account that different eras had different standards.

One guy on a thread brought up that in the late 1970's, one of the best computers then was a TRS-80 model I and we had no internet then but had dial-up BBS'es (computer bulletin boards) and the like back then. Yes, by today's standards they are quaint and backward but by 1970's standards, they were state of the art. If you took a Pentium IV back in time to 1979, it would be as seen as a minature Cray supercomputer of that time. It's like how the liberals judged many of the Founding Fathers to be bad because they had slaves but they are using 20th and 21st Century standards to judge 18th and 19th Century people.

I guess you like the Garand rifle. If I could only have one rifle, the Garand would be it although it would closely be followed by an M-14 (son of Garand) or the FN-FAL.

Cheri Tips?

ROMANS: The theory here is that we are stronger together, three countries in one, rather than alone.

The beginning of the NWO. One world government.

Yup, not many people seem to get my name. I'm a big WWII buff; lots of guys depended on that reliable rifle.

I collect WWII posters; I'm always excited when I can find one (for a reasonable price...rarely) which features the Garand.
