Paldi5: DialecticFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How does one have a dialectic discussion about something (a collusion of a small elite seeking world domination) that is suspected but well hidden, unprovable and controversial? Seems to me to be a topic better suited to debate or emotional oration.



yeah i was kinda curious about that myself.

I think the hidden powers that be just give orders to people and let them dialect the manipulation. it all brings it back to the shell game. its never the right answer, but they always continue working the game in their favor.


now the question is, how do we secretly trip up their game in our favor dunno

I finally went back and toughed it all the way through the OP's video.

The guy in the video rambles from point to point, some of them interesting, but he falls far short of ever connecting them together in any way that would justify the many statements of "fact" that he claims to make.

He over-estimates his own understanding and insight. The viewer is expected to just take his word for most things.

He's essentially a fairly well-informed man giving his opinions.

The only point that I found truly informative was his mention of this event that I had never heard about before.

Somewhere back up the thread I saw some posts that suggested that the dialectic process was not bad in itself, that it is just a means of organizing and integrating change into the existing status quo. That may be true at a theoretical level, a way of looking at things. But when someone sets out to purposely use the dialectic process to bypass the will of the people and effect particular changes it is deception and manipulation. Hegel was just a more skilled version of Machiavelli, and his expertise was in the mechanisms of deception.

And that's what goes on big-time in the political realm today. Deception and events that produce reactive emotional responses in order to impose changes which almost always involve a loss of freedom or material wealth by the public.

I heard this one Ray. It's documented in a book called 'Other losses.'



A few problems with the conspiracy theory are that too many bodies and nothing has to date showed up. Another is the massive cover up that would have had to have been kept secret and yet another still is the chain of command that this event would have had to have been kept from as well as Montgomery.

Stalin did certainly kill millions of Russians who had been prisoners of the Germans. And the US knowingly shipped those prisoners back to Russia. So another few hundred mass graves in Poland or other Eastern European countries wouldn't necessarily have drawn any attention. Who's going to accuse Eisenhower of mass murder and live to tell the tale?

Paldi5: DialecticFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dialectic (also called dialectics or the dialectical method) is a method of argument, which has been central to both Indic and European philosophy since ancient times.

Dialectic is based on a dialogue between two or more people who may hold differing views, yet wish to seek the truth of the matter through the exchange of their viewpoints while applying reason.

This differs from a debate, in which both sides are committed to their viewpoint and only wish to win the debate by persuading or proving themselves right (or the other side wrong) – and thus a jury or judge is often needed to decide the matter.

=================================

How does one have a dialectic discussion about something (a collusion of a small elite seeking world domination) that is suspected but well hidden, unprovable and controversial? Seems to me to be a topic better suited to debate or emotional oration.

Back to the funny farm...


the proof is everywhere fred. no need for papertrails wave

Albertaghost: You get a vote, that is how leaders are picked. I can't even count how many leaders campaign on 'cleaning up' Washington, the system, their constituency etc. As for 'corporatized entities' your system allows for this to occur as do all other systems either legally or illegally. Various non corporate entities also effect your system such as blocks of people gathered for a political purpose such as Muslims, Christians, gun owners, liberals, Republicans etc but when the day is done, it comes down to individual votes.


i believe it comes down to individual awareness of how things are really run.

ban all lobbyists would be an idea lightbulb

Elliott Abrams-----National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

Poland was bordered with the Russian zone, not the US and, it was a long long way from the US controlled Germany. Unless of course you are going to have us believe Ike managed somehow to move a million rotting corpses from all over his area by cover of while the country was patrolled by international observers, Red Cross people as well as foreign military attaches and send them five hundred miles into Czechoslovakia without being seen or heard.

RayfromUSA: Who's going to accuse Eisenhower of mass murder and live to tell the tale?


Montgomery, the Red Cross, Degaulle, the Russians, his presidential opponent Stevenson.

Not a peep though.

Actually, I haven't changed my stance at all. I don't believe there is any vast conspiracy where there is some entity controlling us. As I stated, and, we both agree, it is we who control.
