Fred, if you truly do believe you are the ONLY person to posses the gifts of speaking in a simple, reasonable, wholesome, sincere manner, I feel truly sorry for you.  How lonely it must be at the top.  A prophet is not without honor except within his own house and his own country, eh?

It sounds more like you do not respect what anyone else has to say, nor do you listen.  Let me ask you, are you omniscient? Have you any short-comings?  Do you have any faults?  Is there no room for improvement for you?  We know what you think about everybody else...

Let me also provide some feedback: your speech is not clear or  consistent, neither simple nor reasonable.  Your writing is full of misspellings, grammatically incorrect, repetitive.  Your arguments are full of logical fallacies.  If you are our Savior, because there is no one else on the planet with your 'gifts,' I'm afraid you are toothless, because even a socialist would find your speech difficult to understand.  Your 'gifts' of oratory and rhetoric are wanting.

Fred, you are an individual, a special individual indeed.  With sincere intentions generally, only an incomplete view of how the world works and what is actually happening.  I don't think you are ready to save the world yet — you still have much more to learn about connecting with the other people in it first, if you really care about them.  The Truth sets one free, nothing else.  You will start reaching people when you tell it like it really is.

Excellent, Mike.  Clear as day.  The good intentions of socialists justify any abridgement of the rights of the people to compel them to do and say as they dictate.  Democratic Socialism ultimately  devolves into State-party rule and their creditors the central banks.  The US government has been completely coopted by the socialists under the banners of the Democrat and Republican parties giving the illusion of a choice.  Both have become supporters of de facto statist rule.  And yes, Fred, it is a crime — it is tyranny.

A republican form of government, treating all people as having the natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, is the only form of government We The People have consented to. 

If you follow the money, you will find that almost all the statutes being enacted by the government apply only to the beneficiaries of government largess.  Those rules do not apply to freemen.  Primarily all the rules around taxes are conditional upon those that use the fiat currency printed up by the Fed.  If you do not transact business with these promissory notes, you are not beholden to the terms of their use.

Socialism is powered by this funny money system of theft and graft.  It could never survive without this bankers' trick.  Socialism is government by the Central Banks — why do you think they call themselves Governors?!  Believe you me, they govern!

If that's the case, I recommend supporting a republican form of government rather than socialism — it's the only form that is not at war with the people.

We come into this world as innocent babes.  We awaken to the world, ask questions, speak our minds.  We stand upon the shoulders of our forefathers to see over the horizon.  Each life is a series of lessons.  We learn from our elders who have spent their lives in trials and tribulations.  We learn from our own challenges and experiences.  The laws of Nature are immutable.  We either act in concert or disharmony — each leading to alternate finales.

The Truth is ever right before our eyes, yet Life is a grand mystery still.  "Truth lies open for all; it has not yet been monopolized. And there is plenty of it left even for posterity to discover."  

So-called 'democracy' is also statism in that the people must obey the dictates of the leaders, no matter how they acquired their power.  Only a republican form of government can protect the natural born rights of the People.  The enemy of Liberty is unchecked Power.

That's not capitalism — it's socialism.  You've been duped.

Right on, Carlton!.

Mike was referring to GW Bush, president at the time of his comment.  Not Trump.

I like "Socialism is a jealous task master, fearing and allowing no other belief systems and disavowing any analogy of history that may infringe on its divine right to exist or criticize its operations."

Hear, hear!  Excellent, Logan.

The US, Canada, UK, Australia, NZ, France, Germany, etc. have criminalized dissent against their totalitarian acts.  Using the pandemic to create a permanent state of emergency empowering their governments to ignore their own laws and rights of the people.  Wake up!!  This IS a test of civilization — and civilization is losing!

Jan 6 kangaroo court.  Covid mandates. FBI Raid on Trump's home.  87,000 new IRS agents.  Nuff said.

Mike, I don't think Jefferson was alluding to guilt by majority vote.  ;-)  It does require all jurors to agree on a guilty verdict to convict.  So no one should be found guilty unless it is obvious to all, even the defendant's friends.  There should be NO doubt.  Reasonable doubt means you can't convict because you are not sure.  Better a guilty man set free than an innocent convicted.

There are still Jan 6 protesters in DC Gitmo because they will not plead out on any of the 'trumped' up charges.  Habeas corpus my a**.  This ain't your Eisenhower America any more.

I have never read a word of Thomas Sowell that I did not agree with whole-heartedly.  The left can't stand him — he often reaches black people who make the shift from being a victim in life to taking hold of the reins.  Giddyap!

Umm, because Sowell is the one being censored and cancelled for speaking, not the other way around. 

He is absolutely right.  'The Science' may not be questioned — even by scientists.  There is no more Science, it is all settled.  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Doing the right thing invariably is NOT safe when it is neither politic nor popular.  But it is right.  That's why COURAGE is integral to doing what is right.

My God, the LGBTQIA+ is in overdrive!  Trans rights trump all rights now.  No one is allowed to say "WHOA, stay away from my children with this crap!"  Is there no limit to this insanity?

The more gun control, the more gun crime because no one can easily defend themselves against an armed criminal.  The proof is in the lawless ghettos.  This is intentional, because victim-consciousness is a tool for politicians to then promise to 'save' the people from their powerlessness.  They must self-identify as a victim and be entirely dependent upon government subsidy to survive — they will never vote the 'saviors' out of office because those that became self-sufficient got the hell off the plantation.

The poor are a protected class of generational dependence -- they are yoked to their government's bribes for votes.

Socialism is not a solution to poverty, it is a primary cause of disempowerment.

My understanding is that the IRS is the collection agency for the Federal Reserve — a condition to using Federal Reserve Notes as currency, which is borrowed into circulation with interest due.

The IRS is not a federal agency any more than the Federal Reserve itself.  The IRS is incorporated in Puerto Rico, a federal territory (state).  The use of Federal Reserve Notes obligates the debtor to an exclusive jurisdiction that lays claim to any notes in possession and any property acquired by exchanging these notes.  

Because we are using IOUs to 'buy' property, we do not actually 'own' anything, we are merely trading equitable interest in the property.  The property still belongs to the real owners — the Fed.  That's why they can make rules on how much of these notes we can keep, because we have to pay rent on them.

The US was taken over a century ago, and ever since we have been subject to the tyranny of a statist theocracy ruled over by the globalist central banks and their 'governors.'  Until we address the corrupt money system, the noose will continue to tighten.

You were not taught this in school, and you will not find the truth anywhere in a school regulated by the government which accounts for nearly all public and private schools.

The truth must be sought — it is not broadcasted.

Losing our Liberty is no accident — and nothing short of force will defend it.

The Biden term is a full court press to bring Americans to their knees.  We are at war.

So you produce nothing except children I suppose? The rest of us produce 'grave diggers' is that it? Another non-answer. Can you not make a coherent statement of fact?

Sheesh, Fred, you obviously are more intent on trying to insult people than respond in honest dialogue and make an intellgent argument.

You don't know Mike, what his product was, who his customers were, what its cost was, what its value was, what labor it required, how much his employees were paid, and who's Mike's devoted, loyal, and committed relationships are.  This is complete 100% projection on your part. 

This is why you are not taken seriously, why we cannot follow you, and why we are trying to help you come to terms with the reality that there are 8 billion other people who may have their OWN ideas about how they would like to exercise their freedom and apply their labors.  Maybe, if you can get off your high horse and join the human race, you might find mutual support for your dreams for humanity.  But start with yourself, please.

100% accurate — except that this system isn't capitalism, it is credit-ism, a central plank of communism.  The use of fiat currency is a requirement to be a part of the global financial system.  The Arab countries forbidding usury have gold (and oil) backed currencies and have been attacked mercilessly to destroy their economic systems (see Gaddafi, Hussein).

The Great Reset is the current phase of the globalists' plans to indenture further the nations of the world into unpayable debts to their central banks, ushering in permanent emergency measures that disempower the people and centralize power into fewer and fewer hands.
