The Group Is All

Source

Jon Rappoport  

“A single thought simultaneously held by several people isn’t some miracle. The course of history is a process of liberation from that circumstance, and the emerging miracle was one individual thinking his own thoughts. That was the great change. And now people want to reverse it. They want to go back. They want to call it evolution.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

More and more, education is entraining children to think of themselves as part of a group.

This is one basic way to cut off the consciousness of being an individual and what it really means. 

The government, the State, has now become the beneficent leader of The Group, and if you need confirmation, just ask any politician. He’ll give you a sound bite or two.

The Age of Cartels

The Creature from Jekyll Island

By Jim White

Liberty Movement Pioneer, G. Edward Griffin on "The Liberty Brothers Radio Show."

These days, it is painfully obvious to most anyone that America has been taken over by Corporations. From food, energy, medicine, entertainment, banking and so on, we are truly, as our guest G. Edward Griffin stated during his interview on The Liberty Brothers Radio Show, living in The Age of Cartels.

Ed Griffin is an undisputed pioneer in what is now characterized as the Liberty Movement. When one speaks about those few individuals who were speaking out when no one else was, Ed Griffin’s name is scarcely left off the list; and Ed’s masterpiece on the FED, The Creature from Jekyll Island, is the proverbial “gold standard” when it comes to explaining how one private agency has gained a stranglehold on the American population.

Although Ed’s knowledge of the FED is second to none, he shares his views on a variety of topics throughout our 40-minute interview. We speak to Ed about Smart-Meters and their continued use despite public backlash. Ed also takes time to explore how America is literally being dismantled by foreign and domestic interests.

The rebel against the controlled world

Jon Rappoport

The campaign and attack against the individual takes many forms.

In 2012, I was contacted by a disillusioned psychiatrist who had “left the field.” He told me he was interested in discussing his experiences.

Here is a key remark he made in our conversation:

Is there a normal state of mind? The answer is no. There is the ability to deal with the reality of the world, which is a very important skill. But state of mind is another matter entirely. You could have a million people who can deal with the world, and they’re all operating in different states of mind. There is no ‘normal’. ‘Normal’ is a modern myth that has no benefits—except to the people who invented it and control it. If you can control ‘normal’ and disseminate it broadly, slip it into consciousness, you have power. It’s like one of those steamrollers. You flatten people.

There is no ‘normal’ state of mind. It’s a myth.

It’s sold.

The professional definitions of normal are supposed to create a uniform standard of thought and behavior. A collectivism.

The individual vs. the collective in the Matrix

Dees Illustration

Jon Rappoport

In the 1950s, before television had numbed minds and turned them into jelly, there was a growing sense of: the Individual versus the Corporate State.

Something needed to be done. People were fitting into slots. They were surrendering their lives in increasing numbers. They were carving away their own idiosyncrasies and their independent ideas.

Collectivism wasn’t merely a Soviet paradigm. It was spreading like a fungus at every level of American life. It might fly a political banner here and there, but on the whole it was a social phenomenon and nightmare.

Television then added fuel to the fire. Under the control of psyops experts, it became, as the 1950s droned on, the facile barrel of a weapon:

“What’s important is the group, the family, peers. Conform. Give in. Bathe in the great belonging…”

Oligarchical collectivism and the four steps to learning politics

The status quo of Oligarchical Collectivism, Arthur Young’s Learning Process and application of Lord Acton’s Rule.

Ethan Indigo Smith

It’s a mad world. It’s a world immersed in oligarchical collectivism. George Orwell coined the term which describes exactly the state of the world today. An oligarchy is an institution by the few. Collectivism occurs when like systems or beings or in this case institutions link together. The world functions on oligarchical collectivism. Oligarchical collectivism can be abstractly depicted as a pyramid made up of many blocks, with fewer and fewer controlling aspects above. 

The linking of institutions in the form of oligarchical collectivism, as George Orwell so accurately called it, is the predicament of the status quo. Oligarchical collectivism is at the root of all the world’s problems. Abstractly, the collective of oligarchies becomes concerned with the institutions that the pyramid is made of and not the individuals the pyramid is supposedly built for.

Concretely the problem can be seen in a healthcare system which props up insurance and pharmaceutical industries. And in a martial and war practices which run the planet. And even in the austerity measures where the concern for individuals is second to the concern for institutions.

Can Individualism Actually Benefit The Environment?

in·di·vid·u·al·ism: Belief in the primary importance of the individual and in the virtues of self-reliance and personal independence; 2. a) A doctrine advocating freedom from government regulation in the pursuit of a person's economic goals; b) A doctrine holding that the interests of the individual should take precedence over the interests of the state or social group.

I'm an extreme Individualist for demanding personal freedom and property rights. But I'm also sympathetic to the suffering of my fellow humans and I'm very concerned about the state of the environment. Consequently, the current matrix would pit me against two separate philosophies: the collective good versus individual freedom. Unfortunately, because of this divide, there's not much discussion about whether what's good for the individual may also be better for the whole of humanity.

Many environmentalists argue that Individualism, if ever allowed to prevail, will lead to environmental destruction and the corporate takeover of the planet. But, I say look around, hasn't our collectivized system resulted in just that?  Our environment is being devastated despite an obese EPA and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), while the natural result of collectivism is more corporate-state consolidation, or centralization -- which we are clearly experiencing. So, during a time of stunning centralization, vastly devoid of Individualism in its purest sense, the environment declines more rapidly than ever; yet environmentalists continue suggest more collectivized "solutions".

In essence, since the ideology of Individualism does not have any genuine influence over the current system, it holds no responsibility for current Too-Big-to-Fail-driven economic collapse, wars for no other reason than imperial consolidation, corporate environmental destruction, the starving of half the world, or a host of other problems that the good-hearted environmentalists say "could" occur under a system of Individualism.

The enslavement of humanity is replete throughout history. The reason is simple: The nature of societies allows corrupt sociopaths and malicious methods of domination to rule. The chronicles of any era clearly documents that liberty is rare. Inherent Autonomy is the intrinsic nature of the human condition. However, in the eternal struggle to achieve individual freedom, governments operate as overseers in invented schemes to herd human beasts into inhuman subjugation. The rule of the rulers over the resistance of the ruled is reality. 

Nevertheless, not all people are aware of this conflict. In today’s America, a huge majority actually believes it is sensible that governments have the ability to bestow rights and privileges. Dedicated readers of Breaking All The Rules are familiar with the arguments that challenge the legitimacy of the federal government. However, how many really understand that the political practice of extortion is universal among ruling regimes and based upon a common axiom of plunder?

This maxim accepts that the fallen nature of man is a truth of our nature and that the instinctive motivation for an individual to overcome this condition is the source of innate opposition to repressive governments. Once in awhile a learning tool emerges that explains the big picture succinctly.

Is the Global Economy Going Rogue? Why We MUST Start Living More Locally…Before It’s Too Late

The elephant in the room of our political dithering and partisan complaints is a global economy that’s too big not to fail. Learn about five indicators that the elephantine economy is about to go rogue and make localization a cutting-edge survival skill.   

Ellen LaConte
Activist Post

No doubt you’ve heard the great news: Globalization is going to save the world. Sure, things are (really) bad right now, but as more nations join the global economy, their economies will become more integrated, and their interests and goals will become more aligned. As the economic playing field levels, perceived inequalities between ethnicities and belief systems will be ironed out. We’ll all work together to combat problems like global warming. And, ultimately, we’ll all be borne forward on a tide of economic prosperity until we reach the shores of a big, happy, peaceful, unified world.

It all sounds very progressive and promising. Too bad it’s just a collective pipe dream—and a very dangerous one.

While there have been some voices of dissent, they’ve been largely drowned out by the assurances of those getting rich from the global economy. The prevailing attitude seems to be that globalism is good—or will be as soon as the bugs get worked out.

What most people can’t seem to grasp, or perhaps more accurately don’t want to believe, is that globalization not only ain’t all that, it’s the exact opposite of what we should be doing. It’s a system that’s doomed and for a simple reason: It goes against the laws of Life itself. Life evolved local and regional economies that couldn’t burn and churn through Earth’s finite supplies of resources. It put global economies that could out of business. Simply put, the global economy is too big NOT to fail.

Totalitarian Collectivism

No Labels = The Ignorant Middle

SARTRE, Contributing Writer 
Activist Post

The American electorate seldom demonstrates an ability to resist the appeals of slick marketing and charlatan candidates. The "so called" swing vote is the battleground where every election is fought. View the vast middle as the ill-equipped idiots that continually waste their vote on establishment surrogates who always protest the corporate/state as their primary campaign pledge. They spin it with charming platitudes, but in the end, they shield their corporate masters.

In spite of this perennial passion play a recent Gallup Poll Puts Congressional Approval at Lowest in History. "83 percent polled over the weekend said they disapprove of Congress' performance. The 13 percent who do approve makes for the lowest approval rating ever".

A twist on buyer’s remorse, provided from the Republican/Democratic one party dynasty. So what is the alternative? Get ready for the seal of approval and focus group tested "No Labels" campaign.

The New York Observer sums up New York Times columnist David Brooks this way: "He suggested that a bipartisan group like No Labels is necessary to aid those politicians who step out of party lines for the greater good". Wonder just who some of these bipartisan politicians might be?

The Christian Science Monitor sheds some light on this search. 

Monday’s launch of a new movement called Nolabels.org – an effort to get beyond the hyperpartisanship that infuses Washington – can’t help but keep the "will Bloomberg run" question alive. The daylong rollout was held in New York City, and Mayor Bloomberg, a political independent, was a marquee participant. And Nolabels’ centrist approach to policy fits his own message, laid out just last week in a campaign-style speech on the economy. The billionaire Bloomberg’s willingness to self-fund as a politician has been amply demonstrated in his three successful runs for New York mayor, and he reportedly considered running for president in 2008". 

Such a shining example of populism and ordinary people like Bloomberg must be different from the standard party hack, do you agree? Gee, what party tag is he using this time . . .?

The Politico views this non-party label a little different.

 "The group "No Labels" kicked off its first conference Monday at New York's Columbia University with just one label largely absent: "Republican."

The non-partisan initiative with the slogan, "Not Left. Not Right. Forward", is seeking to fill what the American people regularly tell pollsters is the vital center: a non-ideological space where the commitment is to getting things done. And its speakers—who ranged from Republican moderates like ex-Virginia Rep. Tom Davis to liberal Democrats like New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand—sang the praises of cooperation and compromise.

But the only Republicans present at Columbia University's modern, square Alfred Lerner Hall seemed to be those who had recently lost primary races, such as South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis and Delaware Rep. Mike Castle, or former Republicans like Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg".

Wow, could this be a clan of mostly losers or wannabees just masquerading as moderates?

Emily Esfahani Smith, managing editor of the Hoover Institution journal, name names:

 "No Labels' purpose is to fight hyper-partisanship in politics, to be the "centrist equivalent to the tea-party movement on the right and MoveOn on the left." Does it surprise you that David Frum is one of the organization's founding leaders? So are Republican strategist Mark McKinnon and Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson". And provides this quote from No Labels' website:

"Hyper-partisanship is one of the greatest domestic challenges our nation faces. It divides America and derails our ability to solve our shared challenges. Rather than focusing on solving problems, hyper-partisans use labels to demonize their opponents, enforce orthodoxy within their own ranks, and marginalize sensible compromises".

Ms. Esfahani Smith concludes:

"When it comes to politics and political parties, I think litmus tests and "orthodoxy" are foolish and harmful--especially for the GOP right now. However, I don't agree with No Labels that partisanship itself is a problem. "Ordinary politics is partisan politics," as Harvey Mansfield has written. To say otherwise--to try to create a postpartisan era of "No Labels"--is a utopian departure from reality".

Need some more points of view to add to the confusion? View the video’s Imagine There's No Labels and Moderate Politicians Taking Part In 'No Labels'. 

In order to make sense out of another feeble attempt to hoodwink the populace, the ruling establishment is molding an alliance between the NeoCons and the NeoLibs. No Labels really means lead the dumbed down public by the nose. 

Compare and contrast the stretch from Rush Limbaugh and the alluring lyrics of Akon, "See a man with a blue tie, see a man with a red tie; so how about we tie ourselves together and get it done".Who is correct? If you are one of the walking zombies that believe that we can all just get along, you are a prime target for the No Labels deception. Watch these videos of Limbaugh: No Labels Is A Racist Organization and Akon: No Labels and take away the lesson that both miss the real point of what No Labels is attempting to accomplish. 

No Labels looks more like a pilot plot for the sequel to Mad Men. Madison Avenue selling the youth on a message of communal unity, the career working taxpayer that government theft helps society and the struggling single parent that their kids are really being educated in government schools. Sadly, the Ignorant Middle, all too often, buys into the hype and snake oil.

Gotham City, the source of original sin and seat of eternal damnation leads the carnival that sucks in the suckers into playing a no win game. Need evidence, just ponder the results from the New York State election.

The gubernatorial results by party are: Democratic 2,610,123; Republican 1,290,017; Conservative 232,264; Working Families 154,847; Independence 146,646; Green 59,928; Libertarian 48,386; Rent is 2 Damn High 41,131; Taxpayers 25,820; Freedom 24,572; Anti-Prohibition 20,429. There were 4,423 write-ins.

The Libertarian Party no long qualifies to be on the ballot without obtaining new signatures. The progressive left Working Families and 2 Damn High media creation just want more government handouts. Just add in the Green and Independence vote to most of the Democratic platform and you have very few people standing up for limited government. 

Remember the Coffee Party, that alternative to the Tea Party. Christian Matthias in The Coffee Party and No Labels Prepare for an Independent Candidate while Offering No Solutions, writes:

“The Coffee Party has finally done it…  They haveofficially endorsed (Titled: In Praise of No Labels) the startup political group labeled No Labels in their quest for political obscurity guised by a right-winged led call for civility. To the point, they have lost all credibility as an organization. People of this great nation cannot be fooled any longer. The Coffee Party is leading you down a road to the slaughter house. These words may seem harsh but the stakes could not be higher. The Coffee Party along with No Labels is an organization meant to harm you. The end result of their efforts will be to siphon votes to a third party Independent candidate: most likely – Michael Bloomberg. Beware of lessons learned from 1992”.

Well, Mr. Matthias is correct about both the Coffee Party and No Labels but his conclusion misses the most important issue. As long as the Ignorant Middle keeps voting for either version of Democrat or Republican collectivism, the final results guarantee totalitarian tyranny. Manufactured third parties are quite different from spontaneous populist grassroots rebellion. The basic reason why No Labels is the latest adaptation of defusing groundswell dissent is to siphon off lukewarm support from the Tea Party movement.

No doubt, the RINO establishment has their own style of drinking GOP tea, but the authentic voice of individual liberty revolt is distinctively ideological, paleo-conservative and America First. Any organization where David Frum influences policy is an enemy of the Republic.

As true as the record of despotism is documented, the more the Ignorant Middle demand added repression. Elections are fabricated spectacles of coronation. The real lesson of 1992 is that H. Ross Perot was threatened to marginalize himself with bazaar conduct of dropping out and then jumping back into the race. A true viable Third Party is the only way to scare the bejesus out of the establishment whores. As long as the Ignorant Middle swings between burros and pachyderms, the ‘TC’ society will wear the dullard label.

For any reform or revolutionary movement to be legitimate, it must reject a top-down model. If a mere 13% approve Congress' performance, please explain how Obama has a 79 percent job-approval rating among liberal Democrats? Are the irresistible statists wearing a liberal label or do they just make up the vast majority of the Ignorant Middle? Do not be fooled. No Labels is an alliance of NeoCon and Libs to play on the shallow sophistication of part-time citizens.

British Government to Seize All Paychecks

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
September 20, 2010

Forget big government – the same elite whose policies caused the financial collapse are now ready to launch the next phase of their fascist takeover of the economy – by forcing businesses to send employee paychecks straight to the government, who would then deduct the “appropriate tax” before the employee receives their wage, as the statist cancer of collectivism grows.

The proposal represents another hammer blow to financial privacy, as the establishment moves towards a total cashless society where every transaction is tracked, traced and controlled by the authorities.

“The UK’s tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and the pay the employee’s by bank transfer,” reports CNBC.

The system would be run by the same organization, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), that has become notorious for its botched handling of data and incorrect tax calculations which have forced people to spend months and even years trying to claim back unfairly claimed money seized by the taxman.

But this story is about far more than the threat of mere bureaucracy or bumbling incompetence – this is about the system exploiting the economic crisis it caused as a pretext to completely dominate and control our lives.

This is about the state handing itself the power to arbitrarily raise taxes to any level it desires and then automatically seizing the money with no chance of redress or petition on behalf of the taxpayer.

Allied to the proposal will be a new program that will force middle-class families to take government “lie detector tests,” which are notoriously unreliable and inadmissible in court, as part of intrusive tax investigations into their financial affairs.

Prime Minister David Cameron and his side-kick Nick Clegg’s promise to deconstruct the Big Brother state in Britain has proven to be completely fraudulent. This is Big Brother on steroids, and it mimics a myriad of other programs on both sides of the pond that are being enforced as part of the same move towards total regulation and control over every aspect of our existence.

- Local tax authorities such as Pennsylvania telling residents “we know where you live” and threatening to use satellite imaging technology to track them down for claimed back taxes.

- So-called “smart-meters” being introduced by law to allow utility companies and the government to regulate energy consumption remotely.

- Government plans to dictate what kind of household appliances people are allowed to own and what kind of light bulbs we can use.

- Fees and restrictions on garage sales and any kind of independent, local community-driven economic activity.

- Legislation aimed at preventing people from sharing, trading, or selling homegrown food, as part of a total Homeland Security takeover of all U.S. food and U.S. farms.

Every new assault the state launches against us is focused around increasing our dependence on Big Brother and making us destitute and unable to survive without welfare.

People in the United Kingdom and the United States need to understand that their governments are malevolent and that their primary purpose is to obliterate the middle class by forcing them to become dependent on the state. As the cost of living soars, as tax hikes go through the roof, and as austerity fascism starts to bite, governments are now moving to prevent people from becoming self-sufficient, dashing the only hope of avoiding poverty for many.

Allied with the march of green fascism, the economic crisis has been ruthlessly exploited by the elite to empower the state to wholly subjugate the people under the thumb of big government. Every step they take is about enriching themselves politically and financially, while ensuring our only recourse is to beg for handouts in return for allowing ourselves to become slaves whose every action is controlled, catalogued, judged and punished by our new masters on the global plantation.
