Daily Bell: Is it true that the status quo is leading the country, and possibly the world, into totalitarianism?
Nelson Hultberg: Absolutely. We have descended into the "rabbit hole" of Alice and Wonderland politically and philosophically. Up is down, and down is up under the collectivist worldview. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less." The collectivists have so corrupted our language that the slavery of socialism is now a "new kind of freedom."
Marx understood all this very well. Corrupt the money and the language, and capitalism will fall. The statists are shameless in their shyster usage of words. And the masses are unable to see the semantic fraud involved. Thus with each passing decade, we drift further and further into total government.
The status quo of statism that began in 1913 and solidified itself with FDR and LBJ is bankrupt. It has no answers. It destroys freedom and prosperity as tuberculosis destroys breath and lungs. Yet it continues to move us into the morass of political absolutism because the integrity of our money and the clarity of our language have been turned into tools of tyranny.

Yes. We know. Figuring that out is the easy part.
ReplyDeleteNow what do we do? Do we start shooting people? Which people? Is there a lawsuit we can file? Is there a political Party that backs our views? How about an individual candidate? How about an op ed, do those work?
It WILL take a combination of ALL of the above. Some are easy, some are hard, all are necessary.
all are necessary.
