Creativity, Individuals and the Internet
Commentary by Clive Edwards

Only individuals can be creative. The most important attributes of creativity are the abilities to analyze, critique and abandon ideas that don’t work and the persistence to seek new solutions. Essentially, creativity can only be emerge from understanding failure and not building on it but sweeping failure away and building something new.

The problem with the idea of regulatory democracy, as much as with its predecessors mercantilism and communism is that individualism and with it creativity are suppressed by collectivist thinking. Any system that is designed to produce conformity is therefore at odds with creativity.

All the terrible social movements throughout history have been terrible to the extent they suppressed the individual and demanded conformity. Genghis Khan is the model for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. The crusades and the inquisition were the teasers to NATO’s wars of world domination. Strip away the propaganda and our “regulatory democracies” are no different from communism and Nazism, seeing terrorists under every bed and rolling back hundreds of years of political, legal and cultural progress of recognizing individual rights as the bedrock of any worthwhile civilization.

We can hardly claim to be an advanced society when we still solve philosophical differences with violence rather than persuasion, and trade disputes by theft rather than negotiation. Globalism under such terms is merely imperialism using the grand old tools of mercantilism.

The only thing new about globalism is the breadth and depth of the propaganda. Just like in the old days, dissenting voices are silenced rather than celebrated.

A clip of Brzezinski addressing a recent meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations in Montreal is available on YouTube, titled, “CFR Meeting: Zbigniew Brzezinski Fears the Global Awakening”. It's well worth watching.

Anyone who wants to know how we got to where we are in terms of the emergence and development of a global fascist government needs to read two authors – Carroll Quigley and Zbigniew Brzezinski. The most important books by these two authors are available for free download here [insert links or a page for links], or available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Quigley explains how we got where we are and Brzezinski explains where we are and where we are going unless we as citizens can regain control of our governments and our destiny.

Globalism is not some vague utopia we are drifting towards. It is a thoroughly planned and coordinated program inexorably leading towards an authoritarian mercantilist world government.

Mencken is almost right. Creating crises is not the aim of politics; rather it is a tool for maintaining power and controlling citizens by appealing to the doctrine of necessity.

The most obvious such crisis is the “war on terror”, which spawned the Patriot Act and Homeland Security in the U.S. and similar laws in Canada, Europe and many other areas of the world. Other manufactured crises involve oil, food, water, global cooling, global warming, nuclear disaster, the economy, jobs, Jews, Arabs, Christians, Germans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Scots, the Irish, rural-dwellers, gun owners, homosexuals, pro-abortionists, anti-abortionists, home schoolers, 9/11 truthers, birthers; indeed any bogeyman that catches the imagination of the unsophisticated or the hypocritical, which includes most of us, most of the time.

We have been brought up to always obey state authority even when we question it or disagree. In earlier times, governments supported the myth that politicians were responsible to those who elected them, and that bureaucrats were employees of the citizens who paid their salaries through taxes. In case you haven’t noticed, this no longer is the case.

Politicians and bureaucrats collude behind our backs to effect programs, international treaties and experiments in social engineering that would appall us if we knew the truth. This is the entire reason governments and political parties use polling – to find out how much we know, how we respond to what we know, and how to gain compliance through concealment and fabrication.

Mencken lived at a time when print was king. Radio was a growing rival, film was competition for the theatre, and television was still being born. Today, of course, these are all mature media, controlled by a handful of individuals allied with the Tri Lateral Commission and other globalist endeavors.

The only communication monitored, but not yet controlled by the globalists, are media where individuals create and distribute content. This includes “primitive” means of communication such as public speaking, street theatre, telephone, fax, and the less primitive email and internet.

While all these tools of individual empowerment are important, the internet is the one tool that can totally replace the controlled media AND our similarly controlled educational system. While it may be unreasonable to expect an unmonitored internet, it is essential we maintain an uncensored and uncontrolled internet with universal access.

Should the internet fall under globalist control, we would be back to the tediousness of using libraries with their limited and dispersed collections for research and learning, or where possible public lectures, private meetings or the underground press as a means of staying connected and exchanging ideas.

Issues of critical importance would cease to be addressable by individuals in a timely and effective manner.

The internet provides us with the ability to research in minutes or hours what formerly took months or years, bypassing the gatekeepers at universities and the requisite costs in time, money and brainwashing. Likewise, our peers are not limited by location, age, financial or social status.

The internet as it exists today provides the planetary neuro-net that enables individual intellectual sovereignty on a global scale. It is imperative we use this technology to help define and create liberty as our everyday reality in the face of the most monstrous and beguiling attack on individual liberty in the history of mankind, global mercantilism.
