Well, that is sort of like what these power brokers are trying to do, except they are engineering the system so that they control it as their own prison planet. They want it as their production facility.

Here's a question for those who are not truly stupid to ponder. If the whole planet is made up of slaves, for a production facility, who are they producing stuff for, and where's the benefit in producing tons of anything, when there's no-one to sell it to ?

He's afraid of you. He thinks you're going to suck him into the Australian underworld, in that vast nothingness below the equator. A heathen land, where no one worships the mighty Alex Jones, and everyone lives as slaves to their evil government overlords. Kidding aside, one of these days I gotta visit down there... Always wanted to see Australia and NZ... Such a long bloody flight, though.

Do you even read your own posts? Here, I'll even give you the ACTUAL passage being referenced, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series: http://www.terindell.com/asylum/docs/asylum.html[^] Of course you won't read it, because it's not on YouTube.

It's called communism. The people in control of such a system have everything, while the rest have almost nothing.

It's ignorant idiocy. If the whole world is slaves, how can the overlords possibly use all that they make for them ? And, that system you describe is not communism at all, you are just ignorant.

You people MUST have heard about Rand Paul's win in Kentucky. He won the Republican Primary for the Senate seat opening up by Jim Bunning. Do you hear our voices now, or do you just write it off as a bunch of looney tea partiers? All this is about fiscal responsibility and reigning in the government. We call this a Randslide. http://dailypaul.com/node/135089[^]

Around fifty percent of all production goes to government, and many countries owe more than 100% of their GDP. What are they using it for now? A trillion here, a trillion there. It is for control. They don't spend all that money on fancy cars and houses, they use it against us to keep us under their boot and to restructure society as they see fit. They already have all of the money in the world through the central banks, they want control. It's good to be King you know.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Basically I just came out of my cave myself. Was locked away doing work in a secure room for a few months. But really, all of this really does mean something, and I think it's hilarious to see all of the posts above. People are STILL making fun of CSS while mainstream thinking in American politics is shifting back to the virtues of liberty. I mean I like to pull a joke on him too once in a while, however, I think people really should start seeing the essence of limited government come to the forefront for the next few years.

Yes, but that's because government is a ton of people with jobs. If you enslave them all, that goes away.

Rubbish. It's mostly used to try to cushion the populace from the effects of things like the GFC. It's used to win votes.

I can see how your life would make you feel like you are under the boot. I don't feel remotely like that, I feel free, in control, and able to choose my own destiny. Perhaps if you made better choices, you'd not be such a failure that you'd take solace in beliefs like this.

CSS is an idiot. What he has to say is all about paranoia, not liberty. I have all the liberty I can handle, there's no issue there as far as I can see.

Well, that sort of thing is cyclical, but it's never as bad as CSS claims, and all the 'they want to enslave us' talk really just hurts any movement that wants to limit government. He makes you all look as stupid as he is.

I don't make fun of CSS because he's a Lib. I make fun of him because he's an idiot, because he believes every single conspiracy that Alex Jones utters (He's even a bloody BIRTHER!), because he twists every statement (No matter how completely unrelated) into "The government is trying to enslave us!", and because he doesn't even understand his own arguments. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Mini-Ron wins... I'd be a little more supportive if this wasn't another Dubya-style case of "Daddy's gonna make me a Senator, just like him!" You just know he's using all of his dad's connections to get the nomination. I'd respect him more if he had to really work for it on his own. Seriously though, I think a couple more Libs in Congress would be a good thing. I don't agree with the viewpoints, so wouldn't support them getting much in the way of voting power, but just them being there will keep the cookie-cutter DNC and GOP on their toes. All that said, though, CSS is still a complete idiot.

You do know that in Ohio Seth Morgan and Sandra O’Brien lost. They were supposed to be tea party candidates too. So does "our" voice apply to that too? Seth Morgan[^] Sandra O’Brien[^] Don't make a mountain out of an ant hill. Like usual politics, it won't last.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)LAX to Sydney is 15 hours. My total flight time will be more like 24 hours. I just meant, that's the single longest leg of any commercial flight in the world.

Ouch... Major ouch... Yeah, I don't want to spend 15 hours straight on a plane. I managed something like 8 hours to London, and that was bad enough.
