This needs a parody tag aswell

no kreegath, parody being mocking commentary with humor....thissa suppose is parody, perhaps not universally recognized as such....esp. by those who consider/reckon that the NWO is some impossible fantasy

Im shocked at that quote from Kurzweil.
The man has been predicting technology trends acurately for the past 30 years...predicted the internet would take off around 2003 in the 80's, when it happened in 97.

Hes always been conservative in his estimates, and pretty much has always been spot on...so we got maybe 5 years before shit starts getting serious ?

THE SKY IS FALLING!

GHWB also says "diverse nations". Shall I repeat that part of his speech 2000 times out of context and call it proof?

Anyway the old world order sucks. fuck it.

Conspiracy theories of an omnipotent power behind catastrophic events and hints about secret societies, based on the presence of commonly occurring geometric shapes... *sigh*

While I do certainly agree that a relative minority seem to have an unhealthy amount of power for otherwise normal human beings, the sinister embodiments listed above have taken root in the public mind without any real proof or fact. The absence of evidence is not proof of existence and the burden lies upon the theorist to produce as much, before people should lend them any credence.

At best, I would hope that these theories are taken as a kind of metaphor for the broad controls big government and influential corporate interests, than anything tactile. Hunting aimlessly for some single entity that isn't there, guided only by the vivid imaginations of those who have connected a few dots, does nothing to wrest back the control of the populace over its own destiny.

Bush, Blair, Brown and their Neocons successfully used the tactics of fear after Sept. 11th to win control because of an aloof and uninformed public. A public that did nothing to prevent them... I'm talking about the generations of people before them that did nothing to stop the powerful proposing bad legislation, enacting self-centered foreign policy and creating a monstrous military complex.

It's not a handful of sinister plotters that invade a country, or erode civil liberties. All it needs is an apathetic public who doesn't notice/mind it's being lead around, so long as they can watch their sports and put on their make-up. While the rich and powerful to become moreso.
