"The third social hysteria is terrorism," Carlin says in the 1st clip. That's half right. Here's the other half:

"In addition to pursuing its goal of global hegemony, the United States government uses foreign countries as a lethal laboratory in which to practice the techniques it intends to use domestically, at home within U.S. borders."

Those running world affairs know they can never get the US people to acquiesce so long as we are armed....hence...their orchestrated gun grab and those they murder as an excuse to achieve their goal. Is this the world you wish for your children and grandchildren knowing you didn't lift a finger to try to protect them? Our lives have been good up to now...it's time to face reality and do the right thing or you'll never rest in peace with the thought you left your loved ones to the wolves and never gave them a second thought... It doesn't get any clearer what these evil miscreants are doing and what their end intentions are. So get your head out of your ass, the sand or the clouds and man up!

lol...OK chiller. You've owned those guns for some time now. I imagine they're collecting dust or rusting away. Now they may come for your guns, directly or indirectly. Are you gonna do something then? I doubt it. Its a simple fact that its every man for himself in todays world and especially so in America. And man is nothing more than a hollow reed blowing the wind. If man was united with one another....things just might be different. But it ain't buddy....And your guns don't mean shit because the man behind the gun is nothing more than a bag of hot air.

You'll have to lose all your rights, including your supposed gun rights, before more people become interested in "fighting" and uniting for a cause. Then you'll have to do it with your bare hands, and you may die, and your family may die.

Tough price to pay for freedom...huh? Death. I haven't met a man yet who's willing to give his life to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Have you?

So stuff all the tough talk somewhere dark and cold. Because you ain;t walking the talk buddy, just talking the talk.

@dog:
Why don't you come and find out the condition of my hardware and what I'll do with them? I've lived a full life...have you...coward? I come from a long line of patriots dating back to the war of independence...and your cowardly linage? Unlike you, I would like to see my decedents live a life better than I, not a cowards life like yours. You have never served, you probably don't even own a BB gun...most COWARDS don't. You only wish to feed off the bottom like most garbage fish who can't swim against the current and eat the waste from those who can. Good luck looking for a hand out when you are left with nothing and your family is being gang raped by mobs running over you and your unprotected family. You have no idea who you are talking to but I know EXACTLY who you are.

Well your response says it all chiller. Your lack of education and brainwashed beliefs show through your poor language, name calling and chest-beating. Guns, gold and god....that's what fools still believe in and derive their faux sense of security and courage. I really don't care to own a gun nor do I have the sense of insecurity to worry about the future like you do. But, that's your life. You are no different than those that drive the US genocide machine around the world. You are prideful of meaningless and unproductive things. You beat your chest like a bully. And you can't wait to get even with those that see through your BS and suicidal objectives.

I do know who I'm talking to. I see your kind everyday. You, and those like you, think the solution is fighting, killing, maiming and creating a new society ruled by wild west laws. You can't live without violence because that's all you know. You continue to bully because critical thinking is not your forte. And you believe that guns, gold and god will save your ass.

Your wonderful ancestors weren't fighting wars for liberty or freedom. They were fighting wars for the bankers...and nothing more. You don't have a clue what happened in the 1700s, and why it happened the way it did. I suggest you read Merciers, Invisible Contracts. Big money interest and corruption have always been with us, even with the founding fathers.

You won't be saved by your guns, gold or god because you believe it is these inanimate things that make you strong. I suggest you do some soul searching and realize its time for you and others to stop the violence or the US will continue on with its global genocide. Don't forget your roots brother. You and your wonderful ancestors nearly wiped out the natives of this continent. And the genocide continued from that day on. Is your government of guns, gold and god gonna do a better job when you seize power and show others how to live?>

Nothing could be more comical

Sadly, George barely "scratched the surface" before dieing suddenly
in a hospital.

The BIBLE = Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth!

We have a 31 year Bush Senior New World Order under The
Vatican's Christian CROSS, Revelation 13:18
Greek Diaglott (Free on The Web) The #666 = the name
Cristos Zeus = Jesus Christ This Greek name contains a
CROSS, X as in Xmas! THESE ARE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!

The saints are saved and sealed in the Names of the Father
and Son (Yahweh and Yahshua), Revelation 14:1
You do THIS by praying NOW to Yahweh the Father, asking
to believe in Him and His Son Yahshua for your salvation!
JUST DO IT!

If you do decide to purchase gold and guns legally, just KNOW
that this government will have a record of them. They can then
come and pick them up when they so choose! Do you really
want that?

Yahshua the Messiah returns soon and no Vatican NWO
Christian CROSS can stop HIM! HalleluYah! This ancient
ransliterated Hebrew word means, "Praise ye Yah!"

If I had come here from a distant world and saw what was happening in America, I would be baffled by the the fact that those called liberals could be almost blindly pushing those who are called conservatives into a defensive corner and seemingly ignoring the latters potential for a strong backlash that could result in an end to the present civilization. Both sides consider the other selfish and delusional, and neither side is willing to compromise or even find enough commonality to declare a detente. One side vaunts it's intellect, the other it's work ethic, one a collective mass of singular mind, the other a an aggregate of individual liberties. And I think I would probably decide to just go away before the approaching flashpoint happened.

An American Indian once said (paraphrase) "I could see change was coming, whether good or bad I could not tell, but one thing was certain, there would be change". I see no hope on any horizon. If it is to come , may it be soon.

Dogsmyth...I'm honored you chose me to "dog". Unfortunately your rhetoric means nothing as I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Now toddle off boy into someone elses yard and go potty there...

Carlin is correct. In the 1940s and 50s, for example, there were dozens of newspapers representing the full political spectrum, all separately owned. In the 1950s, as another example, there were dozen of alcohol manufacturers who really produced different products, not one or two or so monster companies, as there are today. The same can be said for all industries after the era of "consolidation," which is just another word for mergerism gone wild. In fact, the trend began around the beginning of the 20th century, when individuals who worked for themselves began to disappear rapidly from the American landscape. We are all consumers, who give our dollars to, or servants, who give our labor to the "ownership class," as Carlin claimed. It is most ironic, though, we just sit back and let it happen.
