Organic food.

A ploy so that junk can be called ordinary food. The word organic should be redundant.

Childcare expert.

What happened to parents/grandparents?

Buy one get one free.

So which is the "free" one?

Innocent people going about their daily business.

Our daily business is not innocent.

Peacekeeping force.

A contradiction in terms.


Mindless violence.

There is always a mind behind violence whether it is acknowledged as such or not.


Justice.

Artificial nature.

I think it was Nietzsche who said that "free will" is something created by humans to confuse and weaken instinct.

Free Speech

Not sure how 'free' it is in this country when people (so-called liberals included) merely regurgitate tabloid headlines as 'fact' and have little real understanding about the way in which the world works... Bearing in mind the fact that the government and western cultural elite can enslave minds, it raises the question is anyone really free? Are some more 'freer' than others? I personally think the more oppressed an individual is, the more likely they are to be able to form an opinion that is not formed from a brainwashed media/ political agenda. They are much more likely to be able to think outside the box.

I agree. And I think the master manipulators are those who can create a conception of "freedom" for people to strive and live for, even though the people end up miserable. Then they wonder why "freedom" didn't make them as happy as it claimed to. Little do they know that the freedom that they spent their whole lives striving for, was not created in their best interest, but for the elite to make puppets out of the masses.

Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.

Could be the words of an interfering bigot. Who is to say that everyone wants what you want?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Innocence has nothing to do with whether or not or how the system decides to "prove" it.

New year's resolution.

Is no more than last year's dithering.

What's wrong with now?

Don't waste time reinventing the wheel.

i.e Don't look at things for yourself because we have brainwashed you so thoroughly you will only rediscover what we have already told you.

Emancipation

[Latin mancipre, mancipt- : -, ex-, ex- + mancipre, to sell, transfer (from manceps, mancip-, purchaser).]

i.e. Africans were emancipated (transferred) from 'slavery' to 'colonialism'.

FREE MARKET

Same with the misnomers; FREE WORLD, FREE SPEECH, FREE TRADE.

INSURGENT

Add 'TERRORIST', and other terms employed to engage an emotional response, MILITANT, GUERILLA etc etc people that would otherwise be fighting to defend something are villified before being recognized.

ETHNIC CLEANSING

Implies something needs cleaning... What was 'dirty' beforehand?

TRIBAL WAR

The opposite of CIVIL WAR? The use of the word 'TRIBAL' belittles a culture and peoples. No different than a RELIGIOUS WAR except in definition.

WORLD NEWS

A broad statement for purposely ignorant programming, implies that what is shown is of more importance than what is not.

CHARITY

To share needs a title coining lines such as, 'look how much we give to charity!?'. It also rhymes with CHASSISTY and falls under...

AID

No comment.

The subheadings, FARES, DUTY, CHARGING, VAT, RATES which are all forms of TAX.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Includes, WOMEN'S RIGHTS and ANIMAL RIGHTS.. no MAN RIGHTS for some reason, obvious who's causing everyone trouble.

RACISM

A term with no proper explination or definition, coined prehaps as an attempt to define a european inferiority complex but now used broadly in place of the word PREJUDICE and applied to anyone who defines themselves as belonging to a specific cultural group and behaves as such in a supposed 'multi cultural' environment.

RACE

Who's running, which way and why?

3RD WORLD

Used without explination, part of a dimensional theory prehaps? .lol. There dosen't seem to be a 2ND WORLD yet it gives the impression that theres a 1ST. Aryan classism on a global scale.

NEW WORLD

Nothing new.

PRIMITIVE

Used to belittle and confine cultures used in conjunction with 'MODERN' and 'EVOLVED' even though in the current climate of 'global warming' the opposite seems to be true.

EVOLUTION

And yet with a facination of Ancient Civlizations?

ANTHROPOLOGIST

A leangthy word to describe a theif who takes from the europeans colonial exploitation of others. Under the guise of, 'cultural intrest' hurried notes become emails forwarded to laboratories and ideas men who in turn discern, dissect, manufacture and market products (and ideas) taken from a peoples without credit. (Think Bodyshop)

U.N

United Nations?

BENEFITS

Negative reinforcement of a jobless role, state dependancy. Who 'benifits'?

LAND OWNER

The earth belongs to no one.

FREE ENERGY

No comment.

The straight and narrow

Is "the road to liberation" narrow? Or does this expression indicate a poor comprehension of "straight"?

Credit Crunch
…or financial recession to usr its original ‘non vote winning’ name - the obvious and wholly predictable outcome of relentless capitalism.

Free Market
A magic trick where agents of capitalism sell you your own urine and claim it is drinking water with a little colour.

"military intelligence"- can't be that smart if your job is based on following orders without question
"friendly fire"- fire can burn your enemies as well as your friends
"multiculture"- still from a white perspective and throwing everything into one pot doesn't make it good
"good white people"- not unless they are willing to give up their power, and they aren't. even the poor ones will be hired by the rich to keep us in line.
"reverse racism"- a mere reaction that wouldn't exist if there wasn't the initial act

Quantitative easing

A confidence trick extraordinaire.

It encompasses the magical ability to convince people to allow others to print as much worthless paper as they want, call it money and then swap it for real goods, labour and services, like food, clothes, farming, healthcare and education.

The British explain it here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7924506.stm

But if you believe any of this nonsense, you’ll believe anything.
