Michael Tsarion talks about Common Purpose and the Fabian Society, which is a very interesting group.

Wikipedia Link: Fabian Society

They took the name from the Roman general Quintus Fabius Maximus. This general had a special battle strategy: Instead of attacking the enemy head-on he worked with a slow, very gradual step-by-step -tactic towards the goal. A battle of endurance. This method is also being used today in politics. The goal is the New World Order. In order to condition the people without provoking them, the elite cannot take too big steps towards their goal. So it's a chain of steady little steps.

"9/11 was only the tip of the iceberg! From documentary filmmaker William Lewis comes a bone chilling documentary on the spying, tracking and control of the American public. Posted by BridgeStoneMediaGroup.com Parental Guidance Suggested."

I just finished watching this film...and right now I just want to help spreading it...i hope it'll have a big impact on the masses to wake up!

I think most of you heard about the shooting incident in Germany by a 17-year old teenager.
You can read the whole story here.

Yesterday evening I watched a discussion on TV about this tragedy and like always after such incidents, the issue of shoot-‘em-ups (like Counterstrike) raised.
One person in this discussion said: “These kind of games are matter of taste.”

But I got stuck with the question: Why would someone actually play these kind of games?

I estimate that about 90% of the people who will read this already played such a game or at least know such games. I am no exception. But as I mentioned, I was pondering about why somebody would buy a game with the aim to kill people.
Ok, it isn’t real. You really don’t kill anybody. It is a virtual reality. But through these games a murder is simulated because the game is a simulation. We say: ”War is such a terrible thing.” But war games like ‘Call of Duty’ are fun, because they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality seems to be a cool thing – You as the protagonist can do things that you would never do in reality – leaving your morality behind.

Games simulating war, simulating bloodshed, are considered to be entertainment.

But still: Why are people enjoying the simulated act of killing others?
Does it come from the satisfaction to decide over life and death? Meaning, is pleasure felt when someone presses a button and a virtual bullet hits a virtual head? Because now the player feels more powerful or mightier.
But is this sane?

A Quote comes to mind:

"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it."
Mark Twain
