Selflessness is an effective behavior when at Liberty. It promotes peace rather than conflict. The ability to set affections on the above. Enlightened selfishness promotes greed and conflict. Socialism, crooks with an education that run in a crowd.

Persecution can follow a particular people for thousands and thousands of years. Long ago a people of Jonadab, his descendants were forbade to live in cities, they were and are a separated people unto God. They were persecuted by the Syrians who were accustomed to living in cities and given to drinking wine and being merchants. I would say there is no love lose today between the Syrian Jew and the Bedouin Jew. The Bedouin Jew being of the ancient line of Israelites. Kenites, Moses married a Kenite, tent dwellers,, hunter gatherers. We find in this nation an interesting line of opposition never spoken of. And perhaps more so than not, true to core. Liberty our sacred cause, is in direct line with these ancient people at apposing ends. I will not say who inhabits the north, Although easy to see, but I do know who came to inhabit the south from which I am from. One line clings to the city, the other the rural country. One seeks Liberty the other enslaves his brother. Now you can do the math. Give me Liberty or give me death. One line is a testament against the socialism of the other. " Therefore thus saith the Lord of Host, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever." Jeremiah 35:19.

Radical republicans, scallywags, carpetbaggers, Grant sided with, concerning reconstruction of the south. Grant owned slaves Robert E. Lee did not. Grant apposed Johnson's reconstruction plans which were Lincoln's also. Corruption and greed still to this day run deep within the republican party. The fight for State Sovereignty was the issue. The south with a much smaller population, against the north, with higher numbers and industrial might, old ties with European Elites of wealth, merchants needing cotton for garment factories. There were sub-factions of religious backgrounds on both sides at odds. catholics of the north and Baptist of the south. And have been at odds sense leaving England and Europe to settle in the Americas. The wage slave of today, the product of socialism from radicalized republicans from the north, which still dominates the political environment of today. democrat and republican parties basically of no worth to the common person, who is now only a wage slave. Grant disgraced labor, and it is clearly seen by his actions toward the south in reconstruction, so called. By historical fact, it was considered a failure. No one is laughing now !

Great festivals, such as Dionysos Lenaios. An old tradition carried on well today. Eleusinian mysteries play out. Tiberius Gracchus comes to mind. A plebeian tribune, tried to implement agrarian legislation so valuable to Liberty. Highly prized to the Roman Republic, till its fall. Little do the people know of such battles for Liberty, amongst old factions. The same today.Tiberius Gracchus was murdered also. As for the quote, wage slaves are included.

All wealth is the product of agricultural labor. This being the wealth of the individual and a nation. To be more specific. Concerning Physiocracy and the Government of Nature. The Agrarianism practiced by our Founding Fathers. How to restore our traditional rural society, cuts against the grain of wage slavery practiced so well today by industrialist. All industrial and non-agricultural labor is unproductive appendages to agricultural labor. That really shots society in the foot right know doesn't it !

Georgism, and the use of Amal labor, economic rent, taxing land values. Society could recapture the value of its common inheritance ? Creating citizen dividend ? Henry George siding with nationalist and Marxist brought about the institutionalizing of socialism. Wishing to cure the poverty of those reduced to wage slavery, which is the state of the individual today. Quality of life was an issue prior to the civil war. Life was better in the agrarian culture of the south. Than the sweat shops of the north. Wage labor and slavery, the rift between aristocracy and the commoner. The fall of the Roman republic. Cicero. There are many similarities now, we see in the fall of our Republic. The quote is superficial. Capital needs labor to further production. Progressives embracing georgism to this day. The ills of industrialism and greed. Democrats love Henry George as many so call Republicans embrace his progressive policies of socialism. Amal labor would the type thereof. Oni, Amal, Lachats . Deut 26:7 and Job 4:8 Toil and oppression.

With an honest recollection, a day before the court, in older years now, the absurdity catches up, let not a True Patriots life be in vain. That is innocent blood, that cries from the ground we walk on. Character is composed within the values we hold dear to the life of the agrarian, hunter, gatherer within us all. God bless. Mother keep my hands in the ground, the garden in times of my troubling. Bless her forever.

Stock corralled must be fed. Unless set to 'Free range'. Once a year set at liberty, to be corralled in the fall. Now tell us who cultivates the minds and to what purpose is the European mindset to a people of the Americas free to begin with, mingled with, cohabited with, Living Free with. Then to be corralled, persecuted, and reduced to an absurd life of servitude to 'the Statist theocracy that now infest this land.' (Borrowing from Mike, Norwalk, his statement of fact.) The quote is no more than common sense. Channing being very much a churl liberal. He smacks of ' one world order. ' As does the church denomination he is affiliated with. Unitarian universalist. Syncretic politics, the USA was not founded upon.

Honest labor bears a lovely face. peaceful till provoked, then plows become swords ! Honor is a value closely associated with moral integrity. A purse without a sword is soon lost !. Robert Edwards, your comment has roots of biblical context. Ecclesiastes 5:20, For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. Better is an handful with quietness, than both hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. Ecc 4:6 For a debt of 40 pounds Thomas Dekker spent 7 years in prison. The quote is a humble statement.

The intrinsic value of manual labor can be highly over rated. Considering the taskmasters, the common laborer toils for today. From the top down, one might say, yes of course. But ! from the bottom up, it is a different view and story. I will not praise this woman for her rise to education. Promoting Nadiyb liberality. A poem by " Edward Markham " The Man with the Hoe." Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans upon his hoe and gazes on the ground. The emptiness of ages in his face. And on his back the burden of the world. Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox ? " If one thing can be learned from manual labor, it is the value of True Liberty, especially when it is denied ! Let manual labor straighten out one's thoughts early, that they might seek Liberty from oppression !

Interesting, ( 9:11 ) A stich in time saves nine, a wake up call for the entire world !! But most especially for those partakers of the Covenants of Promise ! 9th bk NT, 9:11, 22bk, OT 1:9,11. 2:9:11. 4:9,11. 5:9:11. 7:9,11. ( Gen 9:11 )
The wake up call. Notice the little " g " gods appear.
Semper Fi 13:07. 9:11, 2015

It is the continual exaction for home and hearth that destroys the sovereignty of the consumer. Pushing the rock up the hill. Consider the least to gov the most. Under liberty one need not live in a perpetual state of spending, to enjoy their Freedom. and I might add their inheritance. Stanford was long winded.

Therefor the life is reduced to the absurd and eventual death. Unless revolt. The eventual outcome. The wave of awareness grows, the general conscience of the planet. Drumming grows louder. ' God's sub-component " I like it Mike, Norwalk !!!. Both components aliening in perfect time. Must be time ! Godliness with contentment is great gain in times like these.

Solidarity born out of chains. Absurdity and death, never agree to their terms. The question of value. Solidarity born of virtues, rebellion, man surpassing himself, for the sacred cause of Liberty. A just cause. Metaphysical.

A very agrarian society. Without regard to their beliefs or superstitions, they still have a conscience to walk by or not. Symbolism is mostly misunderstood, Jim. There are more Mormons in Idaho than Utah. They are a very diligent bunch. Some of the oldest families, German. Next to the miners, you can't find a heartier people. This is with respect of those that live in the high country. I've known a few bishops. Content is great. The more remote the freer we live. You meet responsibility head on.

For the broadest of subject matter, there is little being said. I'm sure Mike can expound upon the metaphysical. The fruit of our labor, a gift from God. This being so, all first fruits, that come forth from the matrix are holy ( separate ) fruit and are God's, giving God his just praise. Plutarch's influence, with others, returns to the musses of mathematics. The co-sign and cyclical nature of. A simple gematria will bear this fact of nature, out, from hidding, fruit of labor =12, twelve in nature, refers to government. A soul without knowledge is not good, but there must be order. For one to rob the first fruits, begins the battle between elements. To manipulate and plunder pour souls is a grave mistake, with economic prowess. The greatest of beholding, a teacher with perfected skills able to instill proper attitude that the laborer's work is not in vein. Therefore your search is profitable to all. Then, are we comforted, which is the sweetest reward of all. A good tree brings forth good fruit.

If you dip , dunk, sprinkle, or otherwise, you are a Baptist. From which comes the practice of socialism. forced dues or taxes so to speak. Thinking ones good works out way the finished work of Christ. Turning away from the doctrines of grace, being justified by works. This man smells of hypocrisy. Speaking of himself and the mega church built from required tithing. I suspect part of the " One world order " as obama has ties with this church and this church with the UN.

The Spiritual good achieved by way of the small farmer, battles the spiritual wickedness in high places, of industry. Once the farmers land was taxed and the crops became nationalized, labor for industry being pulled from the small farmer, by way of his family, destroying the family unit, so cherished, for so long. Farmer ranchers, as my family roots, destroyed. Jealousy set in, because of favor shown to the farmers left, tilling larger portions of land. splitting the family unit, in wanting for an education and leaving the farm, finding high taxes in the city life. Inheritance lost, taxed away. Rifts still in place. Now the farm, a place for the rich man from the city, having a mansion built, sitting on ground that no one works ! The largest pecan orchard in the state and one of the oldest, where the rich man built his mansion. selling off the remaining cultivated ground to the highest bidder of course !

Very good question Mike ! " At religion " It is a measure of faith. Things that are not seen do add up. For a rich man or woman to understand their wealth is a gift from God, is a great step, then measured by their ability to give up those riches. Affection is what God requires of the individual, and is highly esteemed. So many examples from all quarters of the world bear this philosophy out. " And the rich man faired sumptuously." Moral bankruptcy, the obligation of first works comes to mind. Fiscal bankruptcy, borrowing beyond ones ability to repay. Spiritual wealth can be measured numerically, but this is a gift granted by God, called the measure of faith. Seeing over time, rich men and women, fiscally rich, and spiritually bankrupt is the law of cause and effect. "Seek after the spirit and you shall live " There is no truer a statement. He that is spiritual judges all things. Returning to the common core of Agrarianism, cultivation of the soil " Has within it a positive spiritual good " and from it the cultivator acquires the virtues of honor, manliness, self reliance, courage, Moral integrity and hospitality. The apostle Paul notes, good stewards should be given to hospitality. With Plato, the " Form that good is " from this comes all other forms. Art, beauty, justice, equity. ex. It does seem that pride and arrogance join closely with riches and leisure time. Servants are needed to tend to their lords. What we observe today as servants, a spit in the eye of the gift from God, to all people, Liberty and Freedom from oppression. Consumer sovereignty, individual sovereignty, set the market back to balance in a natural way. As the gold standard is stable. O for the days of small farms, when the Tinkerer came by to fix the hole in Mom's pot, and the merchants wagon could be heard coming down the dirt road, pots a clanking, wanting to sell the farmers wife a new pot. Those where very rich days indeed for the sovereign born free individual small farmer. Living in the home that his father built on the homestead his grandfather started who lived in his home on the other end of the farm. Our inheritance robbed at the point of a gun. And it was wind power that drew the water from the well. They doted the landscape across the county. The industrial revolution has ruined the lives of so many families, it is sickening to think what it has done to the world.

If it were America, they, the gov forgot to ask Americans !! Robert ! Old European families, dominating the slave labor here in America ! Try European influence, of the whole mess !

The oldest form of payment, labor, and the oldest traded commodity, slave labor !
" These are the times that try men's souls ", " Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered " , ' What we obtain to cheap, we esteem to lightly " . Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed if so Celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated."
Thomas Paine

Well said Archer ! The highest degree of commonsense, comes from the agrarian. Seeing things for what they are, not by the slight or fancy of men. We are silent no more !

" Physiocracy , from the Greek for " Government of Nature. "
" When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with Certain Inalienable Rights; that among these are life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers form the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly All experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. "
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
In an early response to the industrial revolution the line in the sand was drawn. Agrarianism vs industrialization. Need vs Greed. Wealth guarded vs wealth plundered. This holds true for any nation or kingdom on the planet earth. God has an issue with the nations. " I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah ! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter. " ( Ezekiel 21:15 )

As with America, so also the European nations, Robert Edwards. Fighting among yourselves, genocide, hate, jealousy. Bottle necked. Feeling the boil over from the middle east. Oil greases the wheels of commerce. Which sits under the feet of the middle east. Lincoln's statement lacks clarity. Whose labor ? What type of capital ? And to what degree of higher consideration ? Spoiling of the individual sovereign's ground, that their fruit might be plundered by the merchandising Elite. Merchant economics, basing a nations wealth upon the kings gold. All the while plundering the true wealth of any nation by rape and pillage of the very source of wealth. The laborers Food stuffs. and the homes they build for themselves. The very self reliance True Liberty is to provide, overthrown and disrupted by wars instigated, creating infighting among the " commoner ". High praises for such a slim quote. Seeing so many straddle the fence. Property tax being ushered in by the socialist abraham lincoln. Setting a precedence of " raise the tax, till the individual cannot pay. " Confiscation and robbery at the point of a gun ! To be resold, for the sake of greediness of gain. The world being blinded, reaching for the scraps that fall from the kings table.

' More over the profit of the world is for all: the king himself is served by the field. " Ecc 5:9. Solomon. And I will add to his sentiment, Not the merchant. ! " Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. " Ecc 5:19 king Solomon. Liberty was observed during his reign !
