I see you folks constantly bickering back and forth here about liberal/conservative, dem/rep, etc. I feel you are wasting your time in that the system you're arguing about is a sham. See the real enemy for what it is, and stop wasting your breath.

part of George Carlin - Life is Worth Losing:

Theres a reason eduction sucks and its the same reason it will never, ever, ever be fixed. Its never gonna get any better, don't look for it, be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talkin about the REAL owners now. The big, wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians, they're irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. YOU DONT. You have no choice. You have owners. THEY OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. THEY GOT YA BY THE BALLS. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking, they're not interested in that, that doesnt help them. That's against their interests. Thats right.

You know something? They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting fvcked by a system that threw them overboard thirty fvcking years ago. They dont want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shiettier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it -- and now they're comin' for your social security money. They want your fvcken retirement money, they want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from ya sooner or later. Cuz they own this fvcken place. Its a big club--- AND YOU AIN'T IN IT! You and I are not in the big club.

And by the way its the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day when they tell ya what to believe, all day long, beatin ya over the head in their media tellin' ya what to believe, what to think, and what to buy. The table is tilted folks, the game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people, white collar, blue collar, doesnt matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard working people, continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue, to elect these rich c@cksvckers who don't give a fvck about them. They dont give a fvck about you. THEY DON'T GIVE A FVCK ABOUT YOU.. They dont care about you. At all. At all. At All . Man. You know? And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dlck that's being jammed up their aszholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth... its called the American dream -- Cuz you have to be asleep to believe it.

The man is funny, I'll give him that, but I'm not sure his political insight is all that valuable.

If the Stonecutters really are running things, Gates, Jobs, Allen and Ellison would not exist.

And Steve Gutenberg isn't getting many good parts these days, is he?

Well Melinda Gates is a Bilderberger, and she has Bill by the balls!

Here are some nwo related quotes for ya, look em over and get back to me.

http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/quotes/

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support.

"The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power.

"The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank."

Curtis Dall, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his book, My Exploited Father-in-Law




"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."

Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets




"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."

David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.





"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent."

Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950





"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."

Benjamin Disraeli, first Prime Minister of England, in a novel he published in 1844 called Coningsby, the New Generation




"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)




"The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semioccult power which....pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I."

British military historian MajorGeneral J.F.C. Fuller, l941

How far back does the whole NWO thing go?

Earliest I heard is something like the romans on the island of britain or something?

I never learned that much about the really early history, and my gf is interested, I can only think of early dark ages rumors of knights and stuff.

We just watched some movie about the nazi/prescott bush JFK assination thing with hoover and the FBI on them and they talked about skull and bones some and lightly touched on the fact that this whole thing goes waay back I am assuming they mean masons or something??

I wish my bro who was a art bell junkie was around still :(

Clap ... Clap... Clap... Yeah... I really like carlin. I think he is down to earth. Maybe a bit radical ... But I do believe that most americans are very stupid, just like bush. Anyway... Bhaaa...Bhaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Move along... Nothing to see here. :) We need more radical thinkers since I believe we are getting screwed. Someone needs to wake up. It has gone on too long and too far. I doubt anything will change tho. They are too big and it's too late. Yeah, I suppose that most americans really think they have a lot of power at the voting both. I use to think it made a difference but now I am not sure. Sadly I feel very bad for the future generations that are going to have to try to fix this .. But most will never know ... And think they are living the dream. I use to think the dream was home ownership. You know. Your castle. But, in reality the dream is paying off your home. But you still don't own it. I have a pretty crappy house ... Property taxes are over 3K. I don't think you will ever OWN your home they will just keep raising the taxes.

Anyway... It's a wake up call. Carlin also wrote a pretty good piece about Airline Security... It was posted here once. A lot of what he had to say was true.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Then you realize Carlin probably never took Statistics 101. Averages have nothing to do with halves one way or the other. What he means is the median of the population not average (or mean).

Ironically, he could have taken statistics and known the correct term was median. But he may have settled for "average" since it is a more common term. How many people walk around saying "median"? Which brings us back to the original point. People are stupid.

I love carlin BTW, capped the show saturday, listen ot his old cds in the car.

A little OT but I think comedians, poets, writers, and musicians are relevent, as they are closer to the people than the politicians. Most of them come from meager beginnings, and are still connected, unlike bribed elites.

On topic: I love Mr. Carlin, and I usually agree with him.

I think they should be relevant but often aren't. People listen, laugh, nod their heads, are entertained, and go home. Few actually change their ways or their lives because of something true a comedian said, which is sad to me. Part of it is that we have fallen into a kind of american trap.

And it is true that big comedians are part and parcel to the same big coorporate moneyfest that results from their product. And they go home and enjoy their money like the rest of us. I don't blame them for this, I just recognize this is also sad that we have yet to find a way in this country to let their voice be heard without all the advertising, investment, and selective display our current mediums provide. If comedians could get laughs without having to go through a major network, a lot of this crap would crumble. But we aint there yet. Hopefully there will be some changes in my lifetime this century.
