This Illuminati/Barge/Conspiracy Theory garbage is just really banal and stupid. Even if it were true, I simply don't care. I refuse to live in fear and paranoia. These big complicated theories add nothing to my quality of life, happiness, or sense of well-being. Besides, the US government couldn't keep the lid on the Iran/Contra affair, or even an intern's blowjob in the

Frank, what your saying is the exact point I was making a dozen or so posts ago. The smartest,richest,most powerful people the world has ever known, has a secret and some raver discovers it and puts on this forum to expose to the world. Please tell me what I missed? Piano World brags about over a million hits. He should have put it on there. More coverage. |

The majority of the people have always lived under the control of the powers of the monied class, usually with some combination of organized and informal collusion among the powerful. It has always been that way, and until the end of this age, will always be. For reasons of human nature already noted by others, I think it's wrong, and even counterproductive, to think that the world is being controlled by one evil, organized cabal - even when it's true that much of our existence is controlled by many "mini-cabals" within private, governmental, and NGO sectors. And as Frank said, I'm not going to stress a whole lot over something that I have absolutely no control over. I'll place it all in God's hands, and keep my focus on the things that I can make a difference in. If I only worry about that, I'll have plenty to keep me busy. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Certainly not - it's very important that everyone gets to hear the word of God. I might edit his posts a bit. |
