RE: Powers-that-be are moving us towards World War 3
You missed this from my prior blog?
Antony Sutton’s research at the Hoover Institute explains how this nefarious powers-that-be had also created the Communist revolutions in Russia and China.
The same mafia created Communist Russia and China. You can click the link above for Anthony’s explanation of the history.
Why do you support socialism? I do not intend my question to be pejorative. I want to understand you. Socialism (like any other big government paradigm such a militarism) creates the power vacuum that gives them their power. I do not want to turn you away by attacking your belief system. Can you explain to me how socialism could possibly help humanity given what I explained in my prior blog about the power vacuum paradigm?
Sorry not trying to drag you into a long painful discussion. Just trying to get all the people to understand that the left-right paradigm is how they destroy humanity and take everything for themselves. Socialism (as well as militarism) is a complete failure in that regard. The problem is not free markets. The problem is democracy and government. That is what the people do not realize. Democracy and socialism are systems that hand all the power to the mafia. We only end up with the debt and the mafia walks away with all the profits and assets. There is no possible way to reform government, because government is inherently a power vacuum paradigm. It is a fundamental attribute of the collectivized coercive power and social organization. Centralized trust is not trustworthy.
Is it because you think there is no other system that could be fair and you somehow think socialism could be fair?
Also I suggest be very wary of believing anything from Oliver Stone or any other media person with a large following. All of these people are working as propagandists. They tell half-truths to get people to trust them as truthers whilst they incite the left-right paradigm. I will give you an example. Oliver Stone claims he knows who shot JFK, but come to find out the only detail he will release is that the guy’s name was Ron. And makes this claim when he is promoting his new book. Obviously (presumably) he is just concocting some unverifiable story in order to hype his book sales. Stone’s blog about Trump not releasing all the JFK files seems to be more matter-of-fact yet the underlying effect is to solidify Stone’s history of sensationalizing the issue. I can’t blame him for producing what sells.
If I thought socialism would help the people, I would support it.
Over Syria Putin needs to stand up to the golden haired psychopath resident in the Oval Office.
Much better we cut off funding for both militaries. So then there would be no one to fight.
As long as humanity gets angry and encourages the two sides to stand up to each other, then war results.
I don’t hate Trump nor Putin. They are only there in office because we-the-people believe in pooling our funds together in a collective power and then voting for that power. But I explained that is a power vacuum that never has a good outcome for we-the-people. I hate the entire concept of funding a collective, which gives the collective the funds to make large scale wars.
EDIT: I don’t have any disagreement with you if you wish to participate in a socialism based governance, as long as you will allow me to not participate if I do not wish to partake of that form governance. If we are all free to choose which government we join, then we can go our separate ways (w.r.t. to taxation and benefits) and respect the freedom-of-choice of others. The problem is that we currently don’t have the ability to have two or more governance systems operating in the same geographical space. I hope decentralization technology might enable us to have such choice, at least within the realm of our intangible economic activities.
I always tend to think americans have a bit a different perspective on socialism than europeans.
Need to see communism and socialism didnt originate from Russia or China , France had their commune in paris in 1870 before stalin was even born.
And in Europe communism had strongly a dimension that it was something more remanent of how things worked before the revolution, and capitalism/industry with a rather atheist / materialist mindset overthrew catholicism.
The idea of hospital is from 11th century or something, from knight hospitalier, who were operating hospitals to help pilgrims.
The idea of guild and corporation of worker more or less auto organized has been there through the whole middle age, the idea that it was good thing To help the sicks during plague was there long before the left/paradigm and before democracy.
But the revolution threw a massive disruption in the traditionnal way of life, with the new bourgeoisie taking power, strong of the slave trading and colonial exploitation, and completely disrupted the whole traditionnal way of life, and communism rose more as the natural way things were working before, in France City of < 2000 inhabitants are still called "communes", and i tend To think communism in its early form des just the natural way things were working before the revolution, rather than something really new in itself, it just for a new positionning in the new world against the new emerging bourgeoisie, and recontextualized by marx in the new political context of left vs right etc but originally has very little to do with what it became in Russia or China.
Even centralisation around a core of elite is a very old form of organisation in France, it used to be called jacobinism, and different sort of clerical order were already taking this role way before the revolution and this whole left/right thing.
I think lots of people in Europe still have a form of cultural attachment to this sort of functionning, with public hospital and some form of collectivism, working union/corporation, and power delegated to an intelectual/spiritual élite, that come from way way back before Marx and Stallin.
I tend to think the exact same thing is going on with islam, which has been practiced for centuries and centuries, and now its mostly represented by nutjobs like ben laden and daesh and very bastardized/spoiled form of it, that become ultra formalized and politicized, whereas it used to be a traditionnal way of life for millions of people for centuries.
And same has been going on with a core of values that were traditionnal things, and then got formalized into political theories, and bastardized, with nutjob fore front figure of revolutionaries like mao and stallin.
Now i think lot of people in Europe feel a bit trapped by this political scam of left vs right that lead nowhere, but the core cultural value behind socialism are something that is way older, and many people feel the trend of materialist atheism that came with capitalism after the revolution is not really a good thing for them, and socialism is the last thing that seem to be able To keep a bit of cohesion in society, with values of helping the needy, having hospitality, and an elite who is concerned with idea of common good etc.
Actually the maxim that says its always a good thing to give to those who have less than you is probably the oldest spiritual maxim in the world.
Hey thanks for the excellent comment!
I agree and you explained it much better than I could have.
Part 1 and 2 of my recent blog applies to your thesis:

I wish we had this level of mutual understanding about programming. I need to find developers now but you and I can’t seem to see eye-to-eye on coding.
Hey I just visited your introducemyself blog and saw your photo for first time. Hello Jesus! Nice photo. I wish you could impart to me some of your youth!
Organize all people and unionize all workers for democracy and justice.
