... Thanks Peter !!!
In the year 1763, there was a man who understood, together with many of his contemporaries that the absolute power of the absolute monarchy had to be limited. By the way, the absolute power of the monarchy was not absolute at all. This man who was not a noble man but a man of such an elevated spirit that he was an adviser of many European kings like the margrave Charles-Frédéric of Bade, the grand-duc Pierre-Léopold of Toscana, future emperor ‘Roman-Germanic’, the king Gustav III of Sweden, the king Stanislas II of Poland and even for a while, the tsarina Catherine II of Russia, this man understood that a change was necessary as did understand Louis XVI.
Together with François Quesnay and the marquis of Mirabeau, they wanted to restrain the power by two means, decentralization and abiding to what they called the "natural law" from which every man has a right to live as he sees fit, without hurting the others. They called their idea Physiocracy. That man was Pierre Samuel Dupont who, because of his ideas was ennobled by Louis XVI and which name turned out as Du Pont de Nemours.
He survived the revolution, but after his house was destroyed, he went to the USA where he took part in the settlement of the Independence War. His son set up a powder factory whish later helped Nazi Germany. What a joke ...
From the 17° century to the 19°, there was thinkers who sought after the essence of man. Montaigne was certainly the corner stone. But the commonly accepted values as nationality, propriety, religion were wrong all over so that so nothing came out despite some great successes. The French revolution gave power to the bourgeoisie, as expected, that is to the collective flag of obedience to the wrong values, precisely because they are wrong. Man needs to believe but the right path of the consciousness is hard and perilous, so better accept false ideas as long as they permit a living.
But the French revolution in its first years went rogue, and at the first sight of a faction taking over, the state was declared in danger and heads were culled. The new god, the 'Supreme Being' was not against the guillotine. The government was bound to liberty, for a few years, and in a sea of blood. But nonetheless, it was an achievement. If Napoleon was a sane guy, he would have settled for less and free the people all over but he saw himself as a Roman Emperor ...
During the winter of 1915, December the 24th, German and French soldiers stopped fighting and celebrated together in the trenches. Governments need war, not people. In many cases, governments own huge parts of land. The right to land is, as Georges says, an equal right, not a collective one. Every man at birth and because of his birth has the right to settle a piece of land, but not to possess it. This is a serious mind success, thanks Henry !
Then came technology tyranny that has enslaved man instead of setting him free. We cannot say we have not been warned, from the inception of the wrong, since two hundred years. Many saw the point of no return coming but they were voices in the desert of souls busy with fashion and wine.
Dr Mercola who lately came across the beast, high and loud had an idea for people to recognize and regroup, an impracticable idea as it is since no one will wear a red triangle, which was a sign put by the Nazis on the refractors, as I understood. But what about kites ??? Kites with a sign, a color, whatever make them special to the cause of freedom, eh ?
The solution except for being individually aware is to regroup the sparks in a coordinated root movement. Man has to know his values, and fight for them but not that of the state, religion, work, science, football club ...
Man's values are that of life and quite simple ! They are two and when you get them, you understand a newborn. Freedom and love. Love you !!!
