Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing      us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we spoke to you in      Egypt, saying, Leave us alone that we may serve the      Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the      Egyptians than to die in the wilderness. Exodus 14:11-12      (NASB)    <\/p>\n<p>    The majority of American people are no different from the    Israelites of old. Most dont even realize it. Some sense that    something is wrong but arent sure what it is. And there are    those who see it for what it is and embrace it. They wont    admit it, even to themselves, but they are slaves and are    engaged in self-sacrifice to their detriment and the detriment    of their children.  <\/p>\n<p>    We have described government as an organism of power designed    by the ruling elite which uses politics and political parties    to confuse and disorient the public mind about human liberty.    Politics is the system used as a subterfuge to cause people to    imagine freedom and liberty even as they are    enslaved.  <\/p>\n<p>    Over time the system has evolved as a doctrine of life. It    provides comfort and security for the group. Truth and inquiry    beyond the system creates guilt, fear, hostility, and distrust.    Society has parameters of thought that imprisons the population    so that they respond only to suggestions of authority.  <\/p>\n<p>    The essential thrust of psychological warfare is to build group    consciousness that supports the system against individualism    and creative survival.  <\/p>\n<p>    Political power is built upon group consciousness, not    individualism. Politicians appeal to the individual and human    liberty, but their careers are built upon helping more and more    power flow to the state.  <\/p>\n<p>    When the American politicians talk about human liberty, they    certainly are not talking about our or your personal and    individual liberty. Human liberty is a code word for groupism    (the crowd). Politicians and bureaucrats never remotely    consider personal or individual liberty.  <\/p>\n<p>    Government under any name or label is all about making and    passing laws for the people. Where there are many laws, there    is no individual freedom. Where there is no individual freedom,    there is no freedom at all.  <\/p>\n<p>    Politicians and bureaucrats have so skillfully imposed the word    democracy that the crowd has total confusion of groupism and    individual liberty. Democracy by all definitions is mob rule or    groupism. It is anathema to individual liberty. Democracy does    not equal human liberty. Democracy precisely means the    manipulated mob. Mobs are never spontaneous.  <\/p>\n<p>    Watch that word democracy. It is the charade for criminal    politics. Its hard to believe how writers who pretend to    oppose big government endear this most deceptive word. They are    either a part of the system or victims of the systems    brainwash. In any case, they are perpetuating the deception.  <\/p>\n<p>    When you see or hear anyone use the word democracy implying    human liberty, you should suspect treason whether the use is    intentional or otherwise.  <\/p>\n<p>    The word and modern usage of democracy is the focus of world    propaganda. We absolutely must be alert to this or risk    continued deception. It is all important to recognize code words and phrasesthat are used by    bureaucrats and politicians to manipulate the public    mind.    I am speaking now to the American conservative. Todays    conservative claims to believe in limited government, the    Constitution and individual responsibility  even individual    liberty. In the abstract, any mention of rolling back    government to its Constitutional parameters is greeted by    conservatives with great enthusiasm. But when the rubber meets    the road the hedging and waffling starts.  <\/p>\n<p>    One of the great myths of our time is that the U.S. is a free    market capitalist system. In reality, there is no free market    in America and has not been for more than 150 years. A market    with regulations and licensing and taxation and incentives and    cronyism and restrictions on whom a business may or may not    serve is in no way a free market.  <\/p>\n<p>    Most of todays conservatives would agree that the market is    overregulated. But they are few and far between who would agree    that all federal regulations should be removed and Americas    system should be laissez-faire.  <\/p>\n<p>    Or try to get the conservative to agree to end Social Security,    all gun laws, the Federal Reserve, all welfare programs, the    income tax, the FDA, farm subsidies, regulations on the auto    industry, antitrust laws, the FCC, the EPA and energy    regulations. You cant take away all regulations, the    conservative will say. Some of them are necessary. We dont    want the seniors to be broke, kids to go hungry, to have the    wild west or unregulated banks, etc., etc., and government     and only government  must prevent that.  <\/p>\n<p>    This is nothing less than socialism and corporatism, or a    watered-down version of the national socialism of Nazi Germany.    Oh, the jackboots are not present, but midnight knocks on the    door may be if you deign to bring an unapproved plant or seed    into your home.  <\/p>\n<p>    Thanks to years of propaganda that begins with the mass media    assault on young minds (childrens programming) and extends    throughout the public (non)education system and higher    education system, people assume without inquiry their    relationship to government. They are programmed to believe the    government is a benevolent agent for mass good and it    establishes public policy in order to provide for the public    welfare and freedom.  <\/p>\n<p>    Because the true nature of government is concealed beneath an    aura of benevolency and imagined political freedom does not    change reality, it changes only our perception of reality.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is in the supreme interest of government that the people be    systematically and gradually dumbed down. People who still have    the mental capacity to question public policy do not think in    the public interest. Public policy and the public    interest are establishment concepts of conformity. Public    policy and the public interest refers to the interest of the    state, not the interest of    the people.  <\/p>\n<p>    The suppression of human liberty is always created upon or out    of distorted reality. Any political system built upon    self-sacrifice (and all are) is an illusion and can only    maintain authority at your expense. Distorted reality is any    ploy that seeks to persuade you to share what you have with    nonproducers or to seek guidance from external authority.    Politics is such an ingrained system that few realize that    politics is a system of reliance on external authority which    perpetuates itself on illusions and distortions.  <\/p>\n<p>    There are only two influences or authorities in our lives. One    is external authority and the other is internal authority or    personal guidance from our own brain. It is our reliance upon    external authority that has led us into socialism and turned    the American dream into the American nightmare. Our dependence    on the external authority of government and the politicians is    a program for ruin. Look at us!  <\/p>\n<p>    Relying on the external authority feels safe because it is the    status quo. It feels like freedom because we have endured mass    brainwash telling us our slavery is freedom and democracy.  <\/p>\n<p>    But freedom and happiness is only restored through    self-reliance and acting on our own judgment. Self-sufficiency    and self-worth produces ultimate happiness and human liberty.  <\/p>\n<p>  .
