He is not talking # about the muslim religion, vinnie paz (last rapper in the song) is muslim. He does talk # however about the institutions which surround different religions.

Yes, it does make perfect sense. But what precisely shall we do? Rise up and fight? How exactly. Who among us is prepared to coordinate this massive joint effort? I'm not being facetious.

Unrivalled1 claims to be fighting against "shilling warmongers" yet the OP is calling for war, violent revolution, fighting. Seems a sad, yet humorous, juxtaposition.
I must be jaded, or an ostrich, or something, but I can't even count how many times an ATS poster has demanded "Revolution Now." Are you winning people over? Are your armies assembled and ready to fight? Are you hoping that you can turn OWS into a group of disciplined, effective fighters?
And please, the Charlie Chaplin speech, over and over again. It's lost it's effectiveness (at least for me).
I'm not absolutely sure that TPTB want a one world government, but I'm pretty sure that the "Revolution Now" movement does. Six of one .....

You know the only way we can really create a true revolution is by going inside, through awareness, meditation, through Enlightenment.
Imagine everyone working on themselves, think about what would happen if we all became Enlightened at once. The energy would pull every living entity up to a point in reality we cannot conceive.
That is the true evolution/revolution.
Wonderful stuff! I agree completely.
In fact, I think the federal government is overgrown, I think we need to return to the Constitution and give back rights to the states. For example, drug policies should be a state issue. Also gay marriage, abortion, and those sorts of things should be handled on a state level!
But I think this is where I start getting confused.
I don't want world government! I want world peace and a level playing field.

Dear Cream,
There is so much in your post that I agree with. All of this is good:
Wonderful stuff! I agree completely.

You know, of course, that allowing states freedom will mean there will be different results from place to place. Some states will have policies that attract the rich. Some will be more welcoming to the poor. The level playing field will vanish.
How do you get world peace without a world peace force? And a world police force that can enforce laws in every country in the world? That sounds like a world government, or at least a very good start to one.
But I may be misunderstanding you. Please let me know.
With respect,
