Same. I was amazed by that 1969 lecture he gave on revolution. It really fits into what's going on now. If you haven't already read it, look for article called Lockstep and then read over Event 201. X Clade is another one that covers this planned-demic.

I first heard of G Edward Griffin 10 years or so ago. Very smart guy, but if you want to go the next step of a fully integrated philosophy then I can only reccomend Ayn Rand. Reason being is this: conventional dichotomy of morality is incompatible with individualism. A proper integrated philisophy can not simply be "well im an individualist politically, but ethically im a collectivist." THAT is why freedom is being eroded.

[@AxllsFly]

In my life experience: You can either give people handouts to help them out but this tends to create dependence and resentment (that their not getting enough handouts) or you can help people by listening and encouraging people to succeed on their own so they learn how to care for themselves and their family. The result of the latter is independence, freedom and pride. The former suggests that you think that people aren't capable of providing for themselves.

[@Malama_Ki]

No good deed goes unpunished. Government assistance ie handouts has become a lifestyle. The more dependent people become, the more they want. I’ve been working since 12, on my own since 17, and own three small businesses and land and thank God every day I did it myself. I hate to growing hippie collective of freeloading bums that are dragging society down to the lowest common denominator. Same with gangsta culture and the ruination of the English language with Ebonics. Get your own, seek wise council, and invest in your own future.

I agree with Mr. Griffin about nearly all he says except for his optimism about the future. This society will fall just as so many others have, because of the internal moral collapse of the people.

[@devonseamoor]

@Terry G. Remember, all past civilization fell due to moral decay and abuse of power and the common good, which, to me, seems to be a law of life. And each time, there's a new rise of civilization, on and on and on. Until we learn to do things different. And when you make a difference, leaving your comfortable chair as a creature of habits, it will be the two of us, changing the world.

[@genXsubs]

As a latino, I found out there's a huge misconception around the Western world which is that we, in the western world think that western society as a whole is not inclined toward colectivism and that we all fight for our individual liberties. In my opinion I would draw a line between Latin American and the countries with Latin origin from Europe on one hand, and the Anglosaxon countries of Europe and North America on the other hand. Unfortunately, because of our strong catholic background we were more inclined to colectivism than the Anglo saxon sphere and that brought us even more corruption and wide spread poverty.

[@hanajinks1044]

Hi, I'm an Australian protestant and fascinated by your comment. This is something I've become interested in and was hoping you could expand on what you've said - how does Catholicism end up more collectivist than Protestantism? ...thank you...

When collectivism is broken down to it's core belief it is evolution. That is survival of the fittest. The lesser is overcome by the greater. Yes, it it evolution.

[@devonseamoor]

It's an interesting conversation and I agree with G. Edward Griffin wholeheartedly. At this moment in time, I'm finding myself in a huge clash between the Dutch attitude in life and the British attitude in life. The former looks at an issue pondering and making a choice, acting on it as well. The latter finds itself in an issue, dramatizing it first to no end, wondering what it is and how one has a part in it, meanwhile turning its back onto the opposition, assuming that that's the guilty party. Asking oneself "Who am I and what is it in me that creates this issue?" NO WAY!! There's much unconsciousness in general, on this island. I assume it's due to bad food as well.

[@brianparent]

Well, it was mentioned in The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 10, published in 1906, pp. 490, that Mayer Amschel Rothschild was an agent of Prince William Landgrave IX of Hesse Cassel (also spelled as Kassel) who funded British Troops against The American Revolution. It is also mentioned in The Journals of The House of Commons published in 1803 that Prince William Landgrave IX of Hesse Kassel out of Germany married Princess Mary, the daughter of King George II from Great Britain. It is also mentioned through History Dot Com that The Royal Marriage Act of 1772 and Queen Victoria's Matchmaking led to Queen Victoria's nine children's 42 grand children---seven of them siting on thrones in, and I quote, "on European thrones in Russia, Greece, Romania, Britain, Germany, Spain and Norway-and all would take sides during World War I with disastrous consequences"

It’s simple. They are all organizations of the socialist/communist wing. All protests are funded through socialist/communist front groups. They are doing exactly what they’ve been “hired” to do. If you follow the trail of money, the group or the organizers themselves, are usually associated with some socialist/communist organization. I was surprised to learn the native American keystone pipeline protests were organized by some ex Russian communists organization.

[@syourke3]

@@williamstorms3262 It’s certainly possible to have a Constitutional Republic without the Constitution setting forth individual rights. In fact, the U S Constitution didn’t have a Bill of Rights until 1791. Democracy simply means “rule by the people”, as opposed to rule by a monarch or an oligarchy or a tithed nobility, etc.. But “democracy” doesn’t describe a form of government whereas a “Constitutional Republic” is a form of government. My point is simply this: again and again, I hear people say that “the USA is not a democracy, it’s a republic” (or a “Constitutional republic”), when, in fact, there is no contradiction between these terms. A “Constitutional Republic” simply denotes a particular form of democracy. The Bill of Rights serves to limit the Constitutional powers of the federal government but it does not limit the democratic nature of the federal government which has greatly expanded since 1787. Bottom line: Democracy and individual rights are not antithetical. They are, in fact, complementary. “Democracy” does not mean that a majority of the elected officials can do anything they want to do.

[@syourke3]

@@williamstorms3262 To respond to your hypothetical, “What if the majority decide slavery is OK?”, I should point out that chattel slavery was not abolished in the USA until passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865 and its it’s still legal to enslave persons convicted of crimes, i.e., prisoners.

But okay Let’s say the majority of Americans decide we don’t really need due process to convict a suspect of a crime and incarcerate them or ‘enslave them’ as you put it? Your point is missing the big picture anyway. We are supposed to be a nation of individual liberties that are god given and affirmed in the Constitution to prevent tyranny from governments.
