      In this case, since it’s about control, probably the nice folks with the deli who also use space lasers to control the media.

        You mean the JEW media?!

        But seriously, the “Evil Jew™” thing is exhausting. Don’t they feel silly when they find out that it’s always the same imaginary boogeyman? A boogeyman who leaves clues and hints everywhere, for morons with a grade 9 education to find, no less.

          You’d figure a group that is controlling everything would, ah, nudge things a bit in the direction of people not treating them as a scapegoat throughout recorded history, often with extreme brutality.

          Unfortunately they feel vindicated when they “discover” the Jews are still behind everything. It’s like they’re a recurring cartoon, comic book villains.

          Aha! Of course Dr. Evil the Jews are behind it; they hate America. They’ve been planning this all along!

    So the United States defined English did they, that’s interesting, so what language did Abraham Lincoln speak prior to that?

      I might be eating the onion here but, I think the constitution went into effect like 20 years before Lincoln was born.

      Also, I’m cool with the United States defining English. We have marginally better culture than England. So I guess I’d prefer to say I speak American.

        Yes that’s the point. He spoke English before the writing of the Constitution so how can a word be part of a conspiracy from a country that didn’t exist until after his birth? If he spoke English for the first 20 years of his life, then then clearly the word parent can’t be part of this conspiracy.

      I recall it being explained as part of the creation of the federal reserve where the corporation of America was formed with citizens being the backing for the central bank.

        Gotcha, so the Federal Reserve is a Corporation (though I can’t find documentation on that aspect either way) and the laws of the Federal Government allow Corporations to exist so the Federal Government still can’t be a corporation!

        I know you are not disagreeing, it is just so weird for the Sov Cit’s to pick this hill to die on.

          They call the Federal Reserve a corporation due to the fact that it actually is a private legal entity. As in, the President of the United States can’t tell Jerome Powell, the current Fed chairman, what to do.

    Fake etymology conspiracy theories (aka “word magic”) are one of my biggest pet peeves.

      I theorize that this word magic and the impassioned (yet nonsense) speaking comes from and is encouraged by religion and worship of the bible

      When it comes to pulling out deeper divine meaning from the bible by analyzing its text, I always chuckle that these people often don’t realize (or blatantly reject) that the English copy they are reading has been loosely translated dozens of times Iver millenia.

    You know it’s funny. I keep trying to wrap my head around their beliefs; and then I hit the crazy wall and realize that there is nothing sane anywhere in there.

      The difficulty with trying to understand their beliefs is, they’re not coherent at all. Their ‘beliefs’ differ from person to person and they’re highly fluid, meaning they can flick from one thing to the next without any coherent reason or logic to it.

      It’s very difficult to discern a structure or a solid foundation even when the entire belief structure looks to be stuck between different dimensions of insanity.

        The belief is the solid structure. It’s science, almost: instead of taking experimental results, and work out a theory to explain it, you take what should be true, and therefore must be true, and therefore is true, and work out something, anything, to prop it up.

          I think that’s more the function of the belief rather than the belief itself, but you’re not wrong.

      Wow. A lot of talk about magic in there. Way more wiccan hippy than right wing sovcit but I guess you go far enough down the rabbit hole and they converge.

      Pdf also seemed to make my CPU spike like crazy, wonder what else is embedded in there… Probably not magic

        As a Wiccan, please don’t bring us into this. That book has nothing to do with common Wiccan beliefs. Just because someone’s using the word magic does not mean it has anything to do with wicca. That text has as much in common with Wicca as a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

          I’m curious as to what beliefs one can have about magic at all (other than “it’s not real”) that are any less insane than this. Please do enlighten me.

            Generally Wiccans believe that magic is a force of nature that science just hasn’t explained yet. Its a way of nudging the forces of nature in a desired direction often in conjunction with the forces of diety. Its not like magic from Harry Potter. We do not for example believe we can fly or get out of debts with magic words written on letters.

            At the end of the day Wiccans aren’t any crazier than any other religion. If you’re an atheist you’ll find us just as “crazy” as any other theist. If you believe in a diety then our beliefs are different but no crazier than yours.

            Not understanding our religion and then choosing to compare us to someone who is likely mentally ill is just asshole behavior. If you don’t understand Wicca why bring us up at all except to be outright disrespectful?

      It’s also the most ironic, considering the author included it to avoid damages from the very system they’re discrediting.

    “birth/berth”

    They call it that as a trick to subject babies to the regulatory structures that govern ships, which essentially says that the government can commandeer you whenever they deem necessary. Oh you think you have rights? Well in the eyes of the law, you’re just another skiff with a bad attitude.
