00:00:00
this is this is one of my favorites to
00:00:02
talk about because you know uh as an
00:00:05
American we grew up with this uh
00:00:08
constant uh drum beat of telling us
00:00:10
about what a great country America is
00:00:12
because it's so free and because we have
00:00:14
all this freedom and so forth this is
00:00:16
the ultimate example uh uh of a
00:00:19
misconception you know America is the
00:00:21
land of the free it's completely
00:00:23
meaningless I mean ask an American what
00:00:25
do you even mean what do you mean by
00:00:28
Freedom what do you mean by the freedom
00:00:29
that have that other people don't have
00:00:31
it's like saying America is the best
00:00:32
country because we have the color green
00:00:35
it doesn't make any sense okay you may
00:00:37
have health care in your country you may
00:00:39
have efficient public transportation in
00:00:41
your country but at least in America we
00:00:42
have the color
00:00:46
green the average American citizen has
00:00:48
less Freedom uh than any random villager
00:00:52
in Indonesia or in Ghana or in any other
00:00:55
part of the global South what Freedom
00:00:57
are you even talking about I mean you're
00:00:59
living most Americans the overwhelming
00:01:01
majority of Americans as we've been
00:01:03
talking about when we were talking about
00:01:05
the economy and you can't separate the
00:01:07
economy and the economic standard of
00:01:09
living and quality of life of the people
00:01:11
you can't separate that from their
00:01:13
freedom most Americans are living
00:01:15
paycheck to paycheck for most Americans
00:01:17
if they uh uh Miss even one paycheck
00:01:20
they're going to be thrown out onto the
00:01:21
street that's the reality you don't have
00:01:24
uh uh just one master in America in
00:01:27
terms of your slavery we were talking
00:01:29
about debt slavery wage slavery and so
00:01:31
on your employer is your master uh your
00:01:34
student loan officer is your master your
00:01:37
landlord is your master the credit card
00:01:39
Bureau is your master your mortgage loan
00:01:42
officer is your master your uh insurance
00:01:45
adjuster your HMO the IRS your credit
00:01:48
card company they're all your Masters in
00:01:51
America you're you're you're a slave
00:01:53
with many Masters and they all have
00:01:56
their chains on you and they all have
00:01:57
their own lash that they can use on your
00:02:00
back so what Freedom do you have you
00:02:03
have more laws in America and more
00:02:04
regulations in America than any other
00:02:06
country in the world the average
00:02:07
American's daily life is governed or
00:02:09
influenced or restricted or in one way
00:02:11
or another determined literally by tens
00:02:14
of thousands of laws and
00:02:16
regulations upwards of 50,000 to 100,000
00:02:20
rules uh at the at the municipal level
00:02:23
the state level the federal level not to
00:02:25
mention the rules uh in your own company
00:02:27
that you work for whatever uh rules that
00:02:29
your uh employer uh uh imposes upon you
00:02:33
this is like uh uh scaffolding around
00:02:36
the daily routine and activities of of
00:02:38
the American people of any average
00:02:40
American citizen most of these
00:02:43
rules uh actually only exist no matter
00:02:46
what they tell you they'll tell you that
00:02:48
these rules all exist to make the
00:02:49
society better and to protect you and to
00:02:51
make you safe and so on but the truth of
00:02:53
the matter is and any American uh who's
00:02:56
listening knows this to be true by your
00:02:58
own experience uh that these rules only
00:03:01
exist for the purpose of generating
00:03:04
revenue for the enforcing body of those
00:03:07
uh rules through the imposition of fines
00:03:10
and fees and so forth uh uh that's the
00:03:12
real purpose uh behind most of these
00:03:15
it's not health and safety and security
00:03:17
and efficiency or what have you it's
00:03:18
just to make money off of you and you
00:03:21
have no say in America in your in your
00:03:25
great Democratic country you have no say
00:03:27
in how any of that money is spent any of
00:03:30
that money that they collect from you
00:03:31
that they oblige you to pay you have no
00:03:34
say in how any of that money is spent
00:03:36
you don't decide what uh what anyone who
00:03:38
collects that money you have no say in
00:03:40
what they do with that money so I'm
00:03:42
asking what Freedom do you have what
00:03:44
Freedom do you have that's so special
00:03:46
and so unique none honestly none zero
00:03:50
there are no freedoms that you have in
00:03:52
the West in America that are not
00:03:54
available elsewhere and there is freedom
00:03:56
elsewhere that you do not have in
00:03:58
America but they they they they tell you
00:04:01
all the time about how free you are so
00:04:03
that by implication you will assume that
00:04:06
every other country in the world is an
00:04:08
oppressive tyranny and no one is able to
00:04:10
do anything and and then of course you
00:04:12
have the fact that the overwhelming
00:04:13
majority of Americans never leave that
00:04:15
country so they don't even know what
00:04:17
it's like in any other country western
00:04:19
civilization so-called civilization
00:04:22
never did actually believe in Freedom as
00:04:24
the highest value that's that's the
00:04:26
reality that they don't even want you to
00:04:28
know about they never never did uh
00:04:31
believe in Freedom as the highest value
00:04:32
this is just something that they tell
00:04:34
you it's just part of the sales pitch to
00:04:36
convince you about how wonderful your
00:04:38
Society is I mean if you go back to the
00:04:41
the uh alleged philosophical roots of
00:04:45
Western so-called civilization to
00:04:47
ancient Greece and so on these
00:04:50
philosophers that they always uh uh
00:04:53
claim as their own as their inspiration
00:04:55
Aristotle didn't believe in this Plato
00:04:57
didn't believe in this the real found of
00:04:59
Western belief has always been uh more
00:05:03
uh authoritarian and classist than it
00:05:06
was ever liberal and Democratic they
00:05:10
always believed in order uh and the
00:05:12
security of the status quo above Liberty
00:05:16
and freedom always they always believed
00:05:18
in power being held by the elite if
00:05:21
you've read these philosophers you'll
00:05:23
know that and if you've read uh whether
00:05:25
you're talking about the Greek
00:05:26
philosophers the Enlightenment thinkers
00:05:28
or the so-called found fathers that's
00:05:31
the lineage of thought behind the modern
00:05:33
Western power structure they just sell
00:05:35
to the public this idea about freedom
00:05:38
because anyone with any sense knows that
00:05:39
you can't actually even base an
00:05:41
organized Society on Liberty and the
00:05:44
so-called sovereignty of the individual
00:05:46
everyone who who thinks about it for
00:05:48
more than 5 Seconds knows that if your
00:05:50
Society was actually based on what you
00:05:52
claim it was based on well that's a Ted
00:05:54
kazinski mentality how long would your
00:05:57
Society even last like that the whole of
00:05:59
America would be like the Backwoods of
00:06:02
Montana but they don't even respect you
00:06:04
enough the the the the government the
00:06:06
power structure uh doesn't even respect
00:06:08
the population enough to tell you that
00:06:10
to tell you that obviously you can't
00:06:13
base a society on freedom and liberty
00:06:17
instead they have to tell you about how
00:06:19
free you are and they just Gaslight you
00:06:21
uh uh feed into your fantasies because
00:06:23
they think that you're like children
00:06:25
they treat you like children they don't
00:06:27
even want you to understand the real
00:06:28
system that you live in that's why they
00:06:31
don't even educate people properly
00:06:33
that's why you can see these videos
00:06:34
online where people are asking random
00:06:36
Americans on the street basic questions
00:06:39
like name a country that starts with the
00:06:40
letter b and they say you know shoes the
00:06:45
level of idiocy that's being imposed
00:06:49
upon the public is uh astronomical
00:06:52
you'll probably say the the the freedom
00:06:54
to criticize the government the freedom
00:06:56
to protest they only give you the
00:06:58
freedom to protest
00:07:00
uh uh in a
00:07:01
democracy uh when they're not actually
00:07:04
giving you democracy I mean think about
00:07:06
it think that through why would you even
00:07:08
need to go out in the streets and demand
00:07:10
this or that if you have a democracy if
00:07:13
you have uh political institutional
00:07:16
mechanisms for having your demands met
00:07:18
why should you protest why would you
00:07:20
even need to do that because your
00:07:21
government ignores you that's why so
00:07:23
your freedom to protest your freedom to
00:07:26
criticize the government just means that
00:07:28
you have the freedom
00:07:30
from being listened to you have the
00:07:33
freedom from being listened to in fact
00:07:36
democracies uh have actually just uh
00:07:41
perfected the exclusion of the
00:07:43
population from policy-making decisions
00:07:46
they've perfected it the whole uh
00:07:49
so-called Democratic mechanism the whole
00:07:51
uh uh
00:07:52
structure is actually designed to
00:07:55
completely marginalize the
00:07:57
population so they've got you busy right
00:07:59
now thinking about the election thinking
00:08:02
about who's going to win and we have to
00:08:04
vote for this or vote for that or vote
00:08:05
against this or vote against
00:08:07
that when real power is completely
00:08:11
removed from that whole
00:08:13
process uh but they've got you uh
00:08:16
completely distracted from where real
00:08:18
power is because they've convinced you
00:08:21
about how free you are and about how
00:08:22
Democratic your Society is which just
00:08:25
actually in real practical terms means
00:08:28
that you have no power whatsoever you
00:08:30
have no voice whatsoever uh that's why
00:08:33
it doesn't matter one bit when you go
00:08:35
out and protest in the street it doesn't
00:08:37
matter that doesn't matter anymore than
00:08:40
you putting your uh vote in The Ballot
00:08:42
Box it is equally insignificant uh to
00:08:46
what will happen in terms of policy it
00:08:48
begins from the misconception of
00:08:50
thinking that your so-called
00:08:52
civilization ever believed uh in freedom
00:08:56
and liberty and democracy and so forth
00:08:58
they never believed in that and if you
00:09:01
actually read uh the the as I say the
00:09:04
the Greek philosophers if you read the
00:09:06
Enlightenment thinkers if you read the
00:09:07
founding fathers they never believed in
00:09:10
that for one minute and so you actually
00:09:12
have the system that they wanted you to
00:09:14
have that you have the system uh that
00:09:16
they believed in but you have a very
00:09:19
very different system than the one that
00:09:20
you believe in the one that you think
00:09:22
you have it's completely different but
00:09:24
it's the one that they always intended
00:09:26
it to be which is the power being held
00:09:29
by the Elite uh and the population being
00:09:31
completely marginalized and disempowered
