"The question still remains, how comes such a thing as "a nation" to exist? How do millions of men, scattered over an extensive territory, each gifted by nature with individual freedom; required by the law of nature to call no man, or body of men, his masters; authorized by that law to seek his own happiness in his own way, to do what he will with himself and his property, so long as he does not trespass upon the equal liberty of others; authorized also, by that law, to defend his own rights, and redress his own wrongs; and to go to the assistance and defence of any [*10] of his fellow men who may be suffering any kind of injustice --- how do millions of such men come to be a nation, in the first place? How is it that each of them comes to be stripped of his natural, God-given rights, and to be incorporated, compressed, compacted, and consolidated into a mass with other men, whom he never saw; with whom he has no contract; and towards many of whom he has no sentiments but fear, hatred, or contempt? How does he become subjected to the control of men like himself, who, by nature, had no authority over him; but who command him to do this, and forbid him to do that, as if they were his sovereigns, and he their subject; and as if their wills and their interests were the only standards of his duties and his rights; and who compel him to submission under peril of confiscation, imprisonment, and death?

Clearly all this is the work of force, or fraud, or both." L. Spooner - No Treason.

Well written. Spooner is now one for my must read list. The apparatus of control is certainly impressive - a quarter of a billion people living in fear, tyranny, living for others not for himself, on the treadmill by consent just with a little stick prodding of force and some shiny carrot things to ease the violation, submission, subjugation of personal will. Sounds like we're mostly dimmis, even without Islam the submission religion. Split the 'democratic' parliament in two with a party system, each party has a caucus or 'elite head group', and we're down to a handful of individuals to be paid off or blackmailed to steer the nation continually into the hands of the bankers. I read once that Hitler, like America's two assassinated presidents, tried to take the money power back from the banks, and thus had to be demonised as no other. Just conspiracy we should be sure. Z
