Hey, Sillik, If you ever choose to actually understand the monetary system of the last 112 years, we can have an authentic conversation.  You've got it half right, but not enough to understand the reality. 

The fact that I am a Wall Street guy that understands the system should be enough for you to perhaps not simply knee-jerk at what I have to say.  The fiat money system has been foisted upon nearly the entire world — the Arab countries still using the gold dinar as money and prohibiting charging interest (i.e. usury) being the last hold-outs. 

It all becomes clearer why there has been perpetual conflict in those regions between the 'Western' world and the Arab nations.  Libya and Iraq were among the wealthiest countries in the world with zero debt.  Ripe for the takings.  As I said before, all wars are bankers wars.  Do not confuse that with the American spirit which has not been rubbed out yet. 

The founders rejected paper money and in fact established the death penalty for anyone that debased the currency.  Would that we observed that law today!

Disgusting and disrespectful.  Jefferson was 71 when he wrote this after stewarding the first free republic based upon the natural-born rights of man in recorded history.  He was wiser at 27 years old when he wrote the Declaration of Independence than you'll ever be, Fred.  Shameful.

"As you sow, so shall you reap."

Defending Freedom is an everlasting responsibility to uphold.  It starts with an intention, followed by a commitment.  Vigilance is the way.

Remembering that our 'rights' come not from government but are "God-given."  That is to say, that our rights are innate and a faculty of birth.  Recognizing that we are a 'creation' born of an intelligent design is key to understanding that Liberty is a gift and defending it a responsibility.  Human history appears to reflect the ongoing struggle of 'liberation' from that which wishes to subject us to rule.  Let's first start with "the truth shall make you free."

For goodness sake, Fred, get some help.  Your fixation on mental health is obviously a defense against those that have been expressing concern...  "I'm not mentally ill, you are!"

Good grief, Fred.  Your fascism is showing... 😂

"Reason and experience" are stupid?  The quote is absolutely self-evident.  A people who stray from the principles of love and honor ( which I assert are core tenets of the spiritual ideal) will inevitably reap what they have sowed — history proves this over and over.

Would that such wisdom was in our government chambers today.

;-)  Let's see:

☑ Narcissistic
☑ Delusions of grandeur
☑ Egomaniacal
☑ Authoritarian (fascistic and communistic)
☑ Cognitive dissonance
☑ Fallacious
☒ Profound
☒ Provocative
☒ Original
☒ Qualified

Yep, your argument checks all the boxes!

BTW, Fred, you can't be "the only" and also "run-of-the-mill" — pick one.  This is just one of many examples of cognitive dissonance and a disordered mind.

Fred, to back up my assertion of your self-delusion and egomaniacal. narcissistic god-complex, here are just a handful of recent excerpts of your copious posts over the last few months (not to mention the hundreds over the last few years):

"...interestingly I feel there absolutely nothing more humble than a demonstration of the truth, which I believe I espouse on an excellent consistent frequency. You, the editor, Mike, and everyone else I meet, don't seem to realize that I am the only one on the entire planet they have a disagreement with, don't you feel that a bit strange."

"Sadly, I am the only one with empathetic and sympathetic facilities."

"I am the practicing Socialist. ... You are not human ... We can change you ... That's Socialism from the authentic Socialist."

"No one in Russia, Chinese, Vietnam, Cuba has the slightest idea of [socialism]."

"Times a-wasting. I got a planet to save."

"I've got a Miriad of folks to deal with and planet that needs saving, I intend to do exactly that."

"My statements are quite original."

"[Carl Sagan] admitted he didn't know what Socialism was, and until I defined it as the Socialized being, no one did."

"...those who are most themselves are certainly most qualified to make the effective life preserving decisions for us all. There are those who are more inclined to nature's clearly defining role for our species and life in general, this individual is in, reluctantly, but fortunately, in command."

"Communism creates balanced environments for balanced finances, balanced relationships, balanced minds. Communism creates the only circumstances for the authentic human being to be recognizably observed. Everything else is just imitation. Communism is the human placed in proper order. Communism creates human beings."

"I remain the only reasonable offering of anything concrete in the way of solid advice on the entire planet"

"I have never suffered from self deception"

"I've never lied to myself"

"My goal in life is to advance humanity and create civilization."

"until I figure how to fix the prevailing socio-economic crises we'll just have to leave the degenerated creature in the White House"

"I feel totally responsible for the circumstances because I have the only active competent mind processing on the planet"

"I don't have a god syndrome. I am just the only, and run-of-the-mill at that, adult on a planet of "we are the world, we are children""

"I have absolutely no negative psychiatric condition, I'm just very, very, sorry to say I have the only adult attitude on a the planet earth in the year 2025."

"There is only one individual on the planet that is qualified to solve the world's problems and that's the individual who takes the blame for those problems, looks like Mr Fredrick William Sillik has a significant problem. I accept the blame and also assure you that the solutions are available and ready to be implemented."

Heil, Sillik!

When I think of an example of a healthy mentality and mature role model, you don't even come close to being a contender.  In fact, I would use you as an example of a childish, immature, mentally unstable narcissist that thinks more highly of himself than any other person alive — you have even said as much more than a dozen times!

Well, Fred, at least you can admit you don't understand a fairly straight-forward argument against laws that sanction slavery or monopoly, oppression or robbery.  Perhaps it flies in the face of your socialistic and authoritarian ideals, the fulfillment of which would absolutely require the 'law' to dictate the redistribution of property, labor and power as you see fit.  If only we could have a benevolent dictator like Fred Sillik, all would be for the best. ;-)

For whatever reason, Fred, you seem to be obsessed with psychiatry and mental illness.  I am 100% sure from your posts alone that you are not lettered in the field of mental health in any way shape or form.  You may however have had direct experience in a psychiatric ward at some point in your life.  Your delusions of grandeur and narcissism are fairly obvious to even the casual observer. 

I engage with you merely to nudge you perhaps a bit towards a saner and more rational view of the world.  My guess is that you have alienated yourself and have little to no rational minds to relate to.  I do not expect a cure, just maybe a little relief to what must be a troubled mind comforted only by your self-conceit.

You have no power to implement any of your fevered dreams (thankfully for the rest of us), and your obsession to post here ad infinitum reeks of insecurity.  But I am not without compassion, so whatever I can do to help you back to reality I am only too happy to do.

Um, I didn't reply, so I am not sure what you are talking about.  Once again you neglect to answer the question — what SPECIFICALLY would/could you DO?  In typical politico fashion you state only the 'needs' and the 'end' not the MEANS to the end.  THAT is the issue.  The means to such an end that defy the consent of those you seek to regulate would have to be authoritarian in nature as you so clearly elude to with YOU being the one to set it all right.  By what power or authority would it take for you to be put in such a position? 

Say what?  To the mentally disordered mind, everyone else seems insane.  Sea kelp, Fred.

Collectivism plays no part in a nation of sovereign citizens.

All humans do not agree on everything, which is precisely why in a republican form of government all are equal before the law and have a right to their own opinions without a right to force them upon others.  Utopians often forget this very crucial point.

Dare I ask what 'your' solutions are to sex and drugs?  What specifically are the "world's problems"?  And what specifically would/could you do as the only qualified individual on the planet?

(This ought to be good...)

Your definition of the responsibilities of a US president is certainly not accurate nor Constitutional.  Your definition is nothing short of dictatorial.  You "feel totally responsible for the circumstances because I have the only active competent mind processing on the planet"?  ;-) Talk about "an intense psychiatric condition"... 

It's this kind of rhetoric that throws a wrench into every argument for 'balance' or 'positive change.'  Thankfully you will never gain the reins of power, for you would likely be the most deranged dictator the world has ever known — all with the blessings of your own conscience.

;-) I know, right?!

This is a timeless quote.  Self-evident!

"Peace" too often means subjugation to authority.  No peace without liberty and justice for all!  The desire for power is rarely quenched...

Revolutions cannot bring about freedom unless the victors establish a government that knows how to protect it.  See the French revolution(s), the Russian revolution, the Chinese revolution, and nearly every other revolution in history is coopted by the banksters that fund both sides of a conflict.
