- Ever wonder how American officials can use the word freedom
to describe actions that eliminate freedom? Unbeknownst to most Americans,
there are two vastly different definitions of what freedom means. In the
U.S.A., freedom is articulated in the people's laws that govern their government.
Under the original American system of law, government servants are required,
by law, to "protect and maintain individual rights." That's rarely
even cited anymore. The more popularly used definition is Hegel's Idea
of dialectical freedom.
-
- Georg W.F. Hegel's distinctive philosophy of history
was created to oppose "the rationalist view of history, freedom, individualism,
and reason, and the rationalist insistence on man's ability to control
his own destiny."[1] To Hegelians, man is not born free at all. Rabid
anti-American philosophers say man is born only to become a faceless member
of the community. According to Hegel, human freedom can only be achieved
when all individuals subject themselves to the totalitarian authority of
the state. Therefore, mankind should be tricked, cajoled, pushed and/or
forced, if necessary, into meeting his destiny, however reluctant he may
be to the Idea. Why? Because God himself is the author.
-
- "God is the author of the Idea; he also supplies
the force which moves the Idea in history, and this force is the dialectic."[2]
-
- When Hegel claimed the dialectic as God's special force
behind all human progress, he cloaked it under the highest authority known
to man. But Hegel wasn't the first philosopher to use the dialectical process
(and God) to change people's religious and political beliefs. Creating
fake problems and offering fake solutions is a timeless concept. Trick,
divide, confuse, and conquer is another well-used, ancient rhetorical formula.
It was used by infiltrators and spies assigned to "diplomatic"
positions inside enemy courts.
-
- The first stage of a dialectical conflict is when two
opposing sides are pitted against each other. The sides can be real or
imagined. For every dumb idea there exists an equal (if not dumber) counter-idea.
Eventually they're balanced into togetherness. (How they're "balanced"
is still cloaked in mystery.) The final solution does not have to follow
any familiar mathematical pattern. (1 versus 2 = 12). Each solution in
a dialectic may become a new theory in a new conflict. The favored dialectical
set-ups continually reinvent themselves into more confusing solutions,
theories, and anti-theories, until the "final" theory occurs
in a form so perfectly ridiculous it gives rise to no antithesis.[3]
-
- Hegel's version forces people to pick a side from an
edited list of options, which will (hopefully) all lead to the same result.
With carefully selected choices handed down for generations, the vulgar
masses [4] are taught to use the dialectic against each other in everyday
life. This sets up future conflicts which can be manipulated and controlled.
The tool most often used to rewrite the past, it's usually explained as
a new problem-reaction-solution paradigm and/or thesis versus antithesis
equals synthesis.
-
- Millions of people worldwide believe that humanity has
a collective date with destiny. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and other religions
have a specific view of their own role in the final spiritual awakening
of Mankind. All ask their devout followers to submit their lives to the
will of God. For some religions, total servitude to God's authorities on
earth is also mandatory for membership. Many theologians predict there
will be huge wars coming at the end of time. The Bible calls it Armageddon.
According to Hegel, the wars end when every human on the planet gives up
their individual freedom and bends their will to the state. Hegel described
a global police state as achieving a "World Spirit."
-
- "The progress of man toward the realization of freedom
has been and will continue to be costly; wars and conflicts of all kinds,
being the essence of the dialectical process, create misery for mankind.
But, again, happiness is not the goal of man, the goal is freedom, and
this can be accomplished only through an understanding of the process of
and through subjection to the state, the material means by which the Idea
progresses. As the state is necessary to the march of the World Spirit
and is a means to that end, so the individual is a means to the end of
the state which serves that purpose."[5]
-
- There are no rules or limitations on how each nation
moves the Idea forward. After the USSR and China, the USA-UK-Israeli alliance
is the greatest and most powerful Hegelian vehicle for change produced
thus far. United nations that imprison, torture and murder people for incorrect
(or individualist) thinking may appear to be led by bloodthirsty tyrants
with a bizarre definition of "freedom." But to the enlightened
few, they represent God's will on earth. To a Hegelian, "the end justifies
the means."
-
- The Americans' logical premise was that all men are born
with certain inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The American Declaration of Independence said they "found these truths
to be self-evident." Opponents of the America system disagreed. They
were not convinced reason can be employed to show logical relationships.
("Human values are determined by passion or feeling." Hume) The
American's federal Bill of Rights echoed state constitutional guarantees;
protecting individual freedom was the only legitimate purpose for the U.S.
government. As one political textbook compiled by American professors in
1964 tells us, "Hegel completely repudiated these views."[6]
-
- Hegel said history proves that the dialectic is the only
way to achieve freedom.
-
- "When men understand that there is an Idea, that
the state and its institutions constitute its temporal manifestation, and
when they accept and subordinate themselves to the state and its institutions,
then they are free. This is Hegel's definition of freedom. It consists,
not in freedom from the state, but in understanding and accepting the Idea,
which, in practical terms, means subordination to the state. Freedom is
not exemption from authority but subjection to it. This is the ultimate
realization of freedom. Not all are capable of understanding the paradox,
but the progress of history shows that more people are attaining such a
capability."[7]
-
- Like Moses and his Ten (613?) Commandments[8], Hegel's
grand Idea came from none other than God himself. But, only especially
trained/indoctrinated people are capable of consciously helping God to
move the Idea forward -- all others will do it without knowing. "All
men are instruments, but some are more active and valuable than others."[9]
-
- There is one man alive who best represents the Hegelian
paradox. This is Dr. Amitai Etzioni. Etzioni calls his Idea the "Spirit
of Community." Etzioni has a very small but effective following in
the United States. One of his many recent accomplishments was grading state's
driver licensing agencies for compliance with the emerging National ID
database. He's been advising U.S. (and other) Presidents since 1979. He's
a huge supporter of merging the U.S. military with the United Nations and
the European Union (he calls it, "Europe: A Beautiful Idea.")
Global Communitarians have their hands in everything from the Bible Curriculum
Studies Program to new laws for regulating the internet.[10]
-
- A self-professed Fabian raised in a British kibbutz to
be a Middle Eastern terrorist and a Soviet soldier, Etzioni went on to
study under the famous social commentator, Martin Buber. Buber's ideas
catapulted him to the head of the "new" scientific study of human
societies in the 1950s. Buber based his "I and thou" theory on
Hegel's Idea of Community and Talmudic Law.[11]
-
- The mostly unfamiliar Babylonian Talmud is an ancient
oral and written series of debates between Jewish Rabbis. Considered to
be the world's oldest legal code in continuous existence, the complex and
difficult Talmud is often defined as a dialectic.[12] For over ten centuries,
Jewish and Christian scholars have searched for deeper, hidden meanings
in the Old Testament and the Torah. Some of the more creative scholars
use a technique called exegesis.[13] Exegesis can be used to identify similar
phrases in a text and then combine the words together in a new sentence
in order to make a new meaning (which partially explains why the Talmud's
called a dialectic).
-
- Agent Etzioni combined dialectical idealism, dialectical
materialism, dialectical capitalism, and dialectical Zionism into one huge
social theory, and in the 1980s he introduced it in upper academia as a
"new idea."[14] Now it's the law of the land. Fortunately for
collective mankind, Community Police were formed everywhere in the 1990s
to enforce the new behavior laws, and wise judges are being trained to
see beyond archaic national laws and customs. Many new courts exist around
the world ready to bring on the Big Idea.
-
- The 102nd U.S. Congress adopted the Seven Laws of Noah.[15]
The Judaic Law Institute was launched in D.C. in 2002, for teaching Talmudic
Law to American judges and lawyers (a move applauded by three U.S. Supreme
Court Justices and President Bush).[16] The U.S. Supreme Court began using
the Talmud during decisions in 2005.[17] The Sanhedrin Court was re-established
in 2006; their goal is to be the mediators in all civil disputes, worldwide.[18]
-
- The EU's Court of Communitarian Environmental Law is
emerging as the model for a global regional justice system.[19] The International
Criminal Court is established in Rome.[20] The International Court at the
Hague, Netherlands is home to the Earth Charter, which rests in an "ark"
and is referred to as "The Environmental Ten Commandments."[21]
UN Local Agenda 21, the communitarian blueprint for sustainable habitat
re-development, is replacing constitutional property law across America.[22]
-
- It helps the Idea move forward a lot faster when gullible
people dive headfirst into every dialectical conflict that "sounds
good." (Pick a side, any side.) There's a modernized activist movement
of useful idiots who passionately believe the U.S. Bill of Rights changed
from a legally binding contract between free, individual citizens and their
government servants into a list of UN-Hegelian Human entitlements. "To
the degree that they are instruments of the Idea, they are unwitting instruments."[23]
-
- Many U.S. politicians openly gush about how wonderful
Etzioni is, like Senator Hillary Clinton in "It Takes a Village."
All American parties and candidates promote Etzioni's Hegelian solutions;
all wisely ignore the profound and lasting influence the Hegelian Idea
has on our now formerly free country. Not even freedom-loving candidate
Rep. Ron Paul will challenge the authors of the Big Idea. Perhaps it is
only through an understanding of the dialectic that we can ascertain the
breadth of their influence.
-
- "A proper comprehension of the meaning of the idea
can be achieved only through an understanding of the dialectic. The dialectic
combines the methods of analysis and synthesis in the study of history
and makes possible a true understanding of history."[24]
-
- Etzioni's theory of balancing individual's liberty and
rebuilding a global community is so perfect it gives rise to no antithesis.
Man will be led into many more violent battles before he can achieve spiritual
perfection. War is the ultimate vehicle for progress. We must fight, even
for no reason at all. To disagree is to challenge God's infinite wisdom.
