If we keep going at the rate we're going, the power in our country will be held completely by government officials. Instead, power should be felt by you and me, by individuals, regular old people whose sense of being empowered inspires us to invent things, start businesses, solve problems and help others. As long as I am feeling oppressed in my current life-situation, for instance, vis-a-vis our government, I don't want to do anything constructive for society. I want to escape, hibernate, give up. That's not good for our country.OnaColasantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12516818299832410490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154018758799451116.post-7319779622893671092014-01-10T11:52:43.650-05:002014-01-10T11:52:43.650-05:00Great ideas!

I think your future as a author is very promising and I hope that you are able to lay down your legal problems at the feet of Jesus and start writing in earnest.<br /><br />My thoughts while viewing the films differed somewhat from yours:<br /><br />My thoughts about:<br /><br />1. Underground tunnels – At seeing the flags at a tunnel entrance I wondered at the companies represented. I thought about cold & temperature controlled storage, data centers, or research facilities contained therein. I did not see any guards and wondered if filming was done on Saturday or Sunday due to light traffic in the space. See website springfieldunderground.com<br /><br />2. Increased settling in the region – I thought, “What possible calamity is this that could ensnare we the people?”<br /><br />3. The mansion fortress - I recognized as the Pensmore mansion, also known as the Overwatch Manor, located between Springfield and Branson, MO and owned by a wealthy defense contractor named Huff. See photos of construction at Pensmore.com. <br /><br />4. Federal Reserve and Banking Industry – This is what holds my attention. It was pointed out that rich bankers are expanding their businesses by taking advantage of the soft economy in the construction industry. Increased Tourism along Branson Missouri/Arkansas corridor is projected…possible business opportunities. Russo challenged my narrow view concerning the federal government. Is there a class of global-elites and can they influence our elected-elites? What do I really know about the Federal Reserve? Why is Ron Paul insisting that the Federal Reserve be audited? Are we taxing the profit of this entity? Are they turning all proceeds back to the government as required? Why haven’t they been audited?<br /><br />Conspiracy theories have value in that they contain a basic truth just as Lord of the Flies contains a basic truth. Conspiracy theories take realities (that are easily corroborated as existing) link them together in a manner that facilitates projection of their views. Russo had a huge problem with taxation. He believed that what he earned was his. Ventura, an Independent, believes that government is too big and a one party system is our reality. <br /><br />I have morphed into Republic Libertarianism this past year. I want to return to being a Republic. I want small government, as set out in our Constitution. I do not support pushing democracy (the worst kind of government) onto the peoples of the world. I do not want to incarcerate Americans except in the most egregious cases. I want our Nation to turn towards Almighty God for leadership.<br />Rinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510703079566541948noreply@blogger.com
