Imagination is greater than knowledge, but the monetary system restricts our innovative (and humane) potential.

The US Government employs a "ponzi" scheme as well many times over. Arrest the feds. (...crickets...) -.-

I'm sure there is more to the story. Regarding the "small fry", we're not small at all. We or anyone paying tax, here or abroad, finance ICE (and other departments of the State), so therefore we are very much involved in their activities. Isn't freedom grand? -.-

Never mind the faces or the initials of the faces. Those are just distractions. One thing is for sure, if during an election no one votes at all, someone will still be selected, and the overall direction of this country (and the world for that matter) will continue the pre-defined course in accordance to the Agenda. Enslaved We Trust. -.-

Relax folks. There is a 25% chance the Citi hackers were FBI informers who were probably recruiting noob cadets for their ever-growing cyberpatrol "by criminals, against criminals" organization. That or they were sniffing out some high earning tax cheaters. Either way, for the loyal patriot (*insert chuckle here*), this latest 'hack' is for a good cause. http://www.gua

I love labels. They do wonders as they are not only used to create divisiveness among us, but are subjective and purely relative in that they are not absolute. So are the criminals the ones who do wrong against the system? Or are the criminals actually the ones who created the system in the first place? If the label 'criminal' can be interchangeable within two parties, then so would the term 'heroes'. Glorify the evil-doers? Who would

JB, Your primary identity is not the same as the identity assigned to you by the state. The identity given to you by the state is the identity that replaces your primary identity. It is this 2nd identity that the state uses to log your production of debt. THAT is the primary and single function of that 2nd identity. If your Social Security Number is stolen and used, then if we follow the same logic with Sony, then it is the federal government that is neglig

The penalties would actually help , because core of these problems are managers who

[quote who="tazgecko" reply="2" id="2945870"]It's about time Governments put in place robust penalties for not looking after personal information. Maybe then they will start taking it serious.

The monetary system, or banking system for that matter, isn't even legal, moral or ethical. Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy knew this and when they voiced concern of it, they were eliminated. But for all matters concerning money, the difference between something being illegal and [not illegal] is "regulation". -.-

C'mon JB, give Uvah a break. If he had mentioned instead that christmas was his favorite holiday, would you still have replied the same way? -.-

Uvah, I don't like Mithrasmas, to be clear, but to have [Christ] + [mas] fused as one proper word would essentially go against all his teachings. But I happen to like google. [e digicons]:D[/e] The thinkers at google --those who test and create and do the work-- are quite talented to say the least. But to have the great Nobel fiction writer, Al Gore, as a senior adviser to google does puzzle me from time to time. -.-

Interesting google developments indeed. Yet, when I think Christmas, I don't necessarily think about granny or other family members (since I think of them always and everyday), but instead, I think about the rest of the zombies who without their knowledge or implicit will take part in this mithraic ritual called Christmas. That alone brings me great sadness. Can I get an Ameen(Ra)? -.-

He is of foreign nobility. Therefore, when he speaks, you listen; when he types, you read. We westerners know aristocracy well in that daily we submit to the will of others. -.-

In matters such as these, to trade, to sell or to keep, there is always one who benefits at the expense of another. I say keep it. You see, if you keep it, you won't lose any more money by selling it or trading it. Further, by keeping it, you will effectively prevent any potential buyer from experiencing your concerns/worries, regrets and sense of loss. So why pass on the misery? And should you actually profit from this potent

There is no such thing as a free market or private enterprise. Economies does not have natural order where the condition or status is determined by seemingly random events by various independent and/or interdependent factors, because there are no random events. The economy is wholly manipulated (by laws) to where specific outcomes are made to come to fruition. This has a detrimental effect on all people, but most importantly on the companies the people create and rely on f

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="53" id="2939297"] Quoting aeligos, reply 50If you require the use of currency of any type to live, then you are not "empowered" in any way. Currency is just the store of value based upon faith. Gold has no value (you cannot eat it or wear it or burn it). So it is just another currency. No one requires the use of currency who is an island. You seem to think that man is somehow detached from society. Iguess at certain

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="44" id="2939228"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 38Dr guy, when the new entrepreneurs finish consolidating power, (Sorry for the split response, I pushed the wrong button) You should be over at the other thread then talking about how the "new entrepreneurs" are working WITH the very people you think are your benefactors - to institutionalize their power. The biggest myth about "big corporations" is that they are somehow conservative.&nbsp

We all support the establishment that recruits, trains and dispatches assassins in the guise of National Security. We all support the establishment that is charged with keeping the people misinformed in all matters, foreign and domestic, that are relevant to us. We are all guilty because we live subject to the monetary system. -.-
