People must be ruled; they cannot rule themselves for long because eventually self-government succeeds: their society gets prosperous, then it gets comfortable, then it gets complacent, then it gets apathetic, and then it all falls apart because nobody cares about paying any attention. Democracy is great for those without it; for those with it, it's the very first thing we give up. Just look at American history.
America continues to get exactly what the American People ask for. It just so happens that currently we are asking to be babied and pampered, and lied to, and stabbed in the back. This IS Democracy!

What Americans do is work. Harder and more than any other First world country. We work and work and barely get by and you would blame us for not having read obscure documents outlining a conspiracy far beyond the scope of our daily lives, incremental enough to not be noticed by a single generation or even two.
Really?
We asked for this? This is democracy? You have got to be kidding.edit on 26-6-2011 by joechip because: spelling

As much as there is anti-NWO mood, you should understand that it is not a bad thing. Capitalism is very exploitable in very important way, centralization of wealth and power to those who have money.
Globalization is important step towards better humanity. United under one country, freed of religion and nationalism, we can explore universe as one, and perhaps coexist with other species as one.
In a practical way, what is the meaning of nationalism, or hunting of money ? With a balanced system like participatory economy we can achieve so much more. Democracy is also very bad system because well... majority of people are stupid. You know it. Thing that has more advertisement or propagation will be very likely passed, but it wont be good.
Rule of intelligence would be ideal, without such things as luck today(risking on markets etc..), or treating money like a resource.
Planet must be united. It cannot be achieved through democracy nor capitalism. Maybe that is what our galaxy neighbors are waiting for...edit on 25-6-2011 by Heckren because: typos

If the goal of the elite was to have a communist society, then why did they let the US win the Cold War? Wouldnt it have been easier to make the USSR the dominant world force that set world policy? Why allow the opposite of what they wanted to win? That doesnt make any sense.
Just because propaganda was written a long time ago doesnt make it any more valid. Are old Joe McCarthys words something to live by? No, we look back now and laugh at him.
