Hi. 

Been trying to post comments on your blog; but keep getting the message that I am not in "your group", whatever that is. weird. I thought all bloggers could post to each other, on google, but maybe I have to be listed as one of your subscribers? dunno. Yea, the Hegel dialectic is pretty interesting, and many of us have noticed this insanity for some time, the question is what to do about it? Killing your TV isn't a big enough solution, anymore, apparently. :( 

She also talked about making deserts, but this is probably more appropriate to quote.  I will look into this but remain fed up (or is it confused) by techno knowledge.  


Oh, I took to filtering the blog responses because of crap that came in.  What I do is haphazardly see someone responded and I push all manner of keys and buttons to publish the response.  I haven't seen Mona's so I need to bake a cake, make a pot of coffee and deal with this stuff.

My doctor sent a second request to join his family practice web site.  The first notice mentioned how the Federal government could just look into  my records - by joining this happy and peppy free service, I was agreeing to this invasion. (I am surprised they asked). 


The second note did not contain this warning, which was very interesting, but did mention the name of the software company that provided the "bridge" between the various "encrypted" sites.   I looked up the company.  It is a not-for-profit that works for Homeland Security and NSA.  The health division was off to the side as a minor function.  


Anyone see what is happening, yet?


Encrypted right.  


Next story


------------------   


There is big news in Canada about a young child who was sent to the states out of Windsor, ON, for an operation that the GOVERNMENT PANEL refused to pay for because his illness is assumed to be terminal.  Yes, our new bill will have 15 people appointed to run these panels.  This story is live TV stuff in Canada where many people understand they have to come to the U.S. and pay for help.


If this is not chilling enough, the new health insurance bill makes it a felony in the US, someday if it ever sticks around, to buy your own medical care -  you will be told to die and the fact that you can buy more time will be irrelevant to the socialistic system (can't have people outside the system - though England and Canada do.)


-----------------


Final note which I raise so that people may believe me.  Last year, I was yelling, sort of, in these pages to buy silver.  The price back then was 11 - 14 dollars an ounce.  It is now about $45.  


Gas is $4 per gallon and rising.  It will continue as our dollar is devalued by the government - on purpose until such time as the rest of the world does it also on purpose, which is about NOW.  Our using less fuel, as you may think applying untainted economics, will not result is prices falling to attract users.  The dollar is cheapening and as to a greenback price at the pump that trumps supply and demand, which helps a bit.  Saudi Arabia wants value for its product and since our dollar is being watered down, it raises its price.  Duh.  Its economics stupid.  


The great cascade has started.  The discussion over the last tax bill is irrelevant and a cruel distraction.  Now, our great leaders want to raise our credit card limit in order to pay our bills.  Think about it, if you were an Asian or European investor, would you prefer to see the US stop the bleeding and take a hit or start spending more?  Of course, you would want to see us grow up.  Would lend money to someone who needs to pay their mortgage if they are out shopping for a new BMW?


Wall Street, a generic term (I actually wrote "germ") wants the money to keep running, of course, but they have nothing to do with fiscal control and responsibility. They are glorified car salesmen.
  

Dialectic analysis: relativist dyslexia on the march

Greg has been bitten by the Hegel bug. Below is a short essay he sent me. Read that if you can't deal with my prose.

The dialectical analysis, discussed below, is used by social engineers to manipulate you.  This is old hat that we are finally understanding in the U.S.  The NAZI's, socialists, communists and so on, existed by applying this model as a tool, though originally used to describe how ideas evolve. The "right," for want of a better word, in the U.S. sort of applies good-old PR, but we are dealing here with a far more subtle con game.

Americans are pretty sophisticated in the face of advertising, puffing, and spin. That is because we remain a competitive, mercantile society. Over time "caveat emptor" builds a sophisticated populace (one not needing the government to shop for us.)

We are morons when confronted by the use of manipulation of our basic beliefs, down to the glue that holds the family together.  If you think there is something weird going on about "political incorrectness" you have a good instinct.  It is a good exercise to see how the Hitler Youth were created and used to alter the basic nature of a Christian nation.  I say this as Mr. Obama is working on creating his own youth army. Had the ACORN criminals not been outed, we would be well on the way to having polling stations populated by cadres of toughs, but that battle has only been stalled.

The shifting arguments that you see on TV every night are not the result of stupid people talking past each other.  Sure you get frustrated by the "political" talk, the apparent avoidance of answering, but most talking heads know exactly what is being asked and what the answer is.  They just have no interest in that conversation. If you think so, you are a sucker. Indeed, even the questions asked, and how they are asked, skew conversation.

No, "liberals," as Marxists and Statists are not stupid.  Yes, they are lying, but to them it is not a lie in the traditional sense of, for example,  denying you took a lunch out of the communal refrigerator.  The manipulators are merely providing disinformation or irrelevant information necessary to affect your mind; everything is spin to trick the listener - there is not even a consideration of having a rational discussion of facts and beliefs.

The Marxists have zero interest in a sensible budget or paying down our debt. You think so because that is your frame-of-reference. Now, see it from the point of view of one attempting to destroy the system.  What do they care if they obliterate an enemy to the whatever this new world order is.  (Seems to me to be the very rich organizing things for business by "using" activists of all sorts.)

Now, a strong Judeo-Christian-Buddhist philosophy will see intentional lying, but, as the new argument is everything is relative, there is no lying.  Indeed, talking heads still back off from the question: "Isn't he lying?"  (This week about the President.) The interviewee will smile an "aw shuck" grin and mumble about people just being political. That is the substance of the relativist logic:  other people do it, there is no standard to apply, so "aw shucks" boys will be boys, unless they attempt to sign a bill under the Constitution of Wisconsin that the relativists don't like.  Can't have a legalistic spin, just not cricket.

The Marxists present themselves as "liberals" and assume real liberals are with them. The "media" and our schools push this understanding. Eventually, a perfectly nice, traditional liberal, a person who believes in individual rights and that government should help individuals, finds himself voting for fascists and Marxists. They do so out of a social connection to the traditional liberal community, not knowing that has long been corrupted.

The Hegelian principles at work have changed the argument of the, well, weak minded.  (I don't know a nice euphemism, but no slur intended. Perhaps, naive is nicer, but a naive person is not automatically gullible.)

Please read the simple, short essay below (the publisher is ticked about people using it for commercial reasons and not paying, so think about buying - click on headline).  It will explain most of what you find confusing in today's non-intellectual discussions.

My point, here, is this: when you read about how social engineers accomplish their tasks so well, consider why they are now having success in the U.S.  They did great in Europe seventy five years ago and managed to have a fine war, but why now in the U.S.?  The answer is simple and it has been understood by leftists for a hundred years:  Americans have had strong religious, family, and community beliefs.  They had the affrontery to believe they were superior to the government.

Thus, no fancy mind games worked.  If you lied, you lied.  If you killed, you killed. One got married before having children. People were responsible for their family and for themselves.  People wanted to raise families in a nurturing community governed my morality.  These firm beliefs were a firm barrier to any insidious corruption of manipulators.

If one has a clear morality, then Hegel is just an interesting exercise, not a useful weapon.  If one has no beliefs, i.e. "relativism," then one is sucked into the prattle of Hegelian dialect.  Political correctness makes sense to those with no moral or philosophical center.  "Tolerance" becomes a virtue rather than a withholding of prejudice.

It is not a virtue to tolerate another, that is arrogance modified by a smug air of superiority, which superiority is readily removed to destroy those who disagree on threatening matters.  To tolerate another means:  I have the correct notions and judge yours not within my values, but will permit you to believe in yours, as the group thinks that is a good thing. (Can't have any set values!) Thus, the group has taken control over individual morality.  Group think changes with the wind, so suddenly it is fine for "liberal" and "tolerant" people to kill Jews.

The KGB, long ago, outlined how to attack our culture indirectly.  They say this, I am not making it up. They knew that America was impervious to direct attack. They were right and their new efforts of subversion are effective, picked up by all manner of statists such as the Frankfurt group (Columbia U became their home, you know the place Mr. Obama is said to have attended.)

There remains a methodical assault on religious beliefs, the Constitution, sexual role clarity, marriage, modesty, and individual rights.  If you think this is just Hegelian evolution toward a new synthesis, it is not really as it was a direct attack on the "thesis."  Our main theses have been mocked, denuded, often undercut by law, and rendered politically incorrect.

Now, our "thesis" is a weak-minded set of platitudes. If you think this is not the result of focused and funded activity, you are lost.

Apply the skepticism you have acquired from watching TV commercials.  Nothing is as it seems.

Introduction: Why study Hegel?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... 

"... the State 'has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special priveleges.'" -- Author/historian William Shirer, quoting Hegel in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1959) 

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a 19th century German philosopher and theologist who wrote The Science of Logic in 1812. For many historians, Hegel is "perhaps the greatest of the German idealist philosophers." 

In 1847 the London Communist League (Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) used Hegel's theory of the dialectic to back up their economic theory of communism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist thinking affects our entire social and political structure. 

The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision for the future. 

Hegel's dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels' grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can't be introduced unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda. 

The Marxist's global agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only way to stop land grabs, privacy invasions, expanded domestic police powers, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. Only then can we be released from the limitations of controlled and guided thought. 

When we understand what motivated Hegel, we can see his influence on all of our destinies. Then we become real players in the very real game that has been going on for at least 224 years. 

Hegelian conflicts steer every political arena on the planet, from the United Nations to the major American politicalparties, all the way down to local school boards and community councils. Dialogues and consensus-building are primary tools of the dialectic, and terror and intimidation are also acceptable formats for obtaining the goal. 

The ultimate Third Way agenda is world government. Once we get what's really going on, we can cut the strings and move our lives in original directions outside the confines of the dialectical madness. Focusing on Hegel's and Engel's ultimate agenda, and avoiding getting caught up in their impenetrable theories of social evolution, gives us the opportunity to think and act our way toward freedom, justice, and genuine liberty for all. 

Today the dialectic is active in every political issue that encourages taking sides. We can see it in environmentalists instigating conflicts against private property owners, in democrats against republicans, in greens against libertarians, in communists against socialists, in neo-cons against traditional conservatives, in community activists against individuals, in pro-choice versus pro-life, in Christians against Muslims, in isolationists versus interventionists, in peace activists against war hawks. 

No matter what the issue, the invisible dialectic aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of differences, and leads everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts. We're definitely not in Kansas anymore.

YouTube Speech

Watch this short speech.  I am sad to say I am in agreement.

Please note, I watched twice and the number of viewers never changed and my comment was not taken.

Pay attention to what is going on.  Consider you are the frog and the water is boiling.

For me, the viewership is 4,509.  A note said "wtf" it has the same number of viewers as a year ago:  4,000

Send this around virally.

Grokking

A major problem confronting us is how to grasp the economic stew we are sitting in.  For example, we are arguing about some thirty billion dollars in cuts - or the government will shut down, but the interest on our debt is 4 BILLION A DAY.  The debate is a fraudulent distraction aimed as pandering to those who don't understand what is being talked about.  Their only area of interest is whether they get their check.  Appealing to greed works in a socialist state, contrary to what you may think.

The scale of these numbers is staggering.  This is espeically true of the "trillion" word. 

We should require the press to use numbers:

million:   1,000,000
billion:    1,000.000.000
trillion:    1,000,000,000,000

Number of taxpayers, roughly, with some liability:  100,000,000
--------

The CBO (a favorite soure of Mr. Obama) says:  Social Security is drained in 2037

---------

Best way to understand what we are up to these days is from Rep Ryan as found in Wall Street Journal.  If we don't get this, we don't deserve to survive.  It is survival of fittest.  Morons die.

Now, those in charge in helping the U.S. are not morons, so what does that make them? Think about this. The only answer is we are on an intended course.  This is not conjecture, but most people can't believe it is true. Perhaps, a simple graph will do the trick and people will understand.
