"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
-Martin Niemoeller, a Lutheran minister who lived in Hitler's Germany during the 1930s and 1940s.
So, shall we just go ahead and make sure that what happened to Niemoeller doesn't happen to us and those around us who have no idea that anyone's even coming for anyone yet?

i agree with your posts theme, but this article and others this author wrote, seem really fishy to me. the georgia guidstones seem like a good thing. i dont know where/what/how he is reading into the information he is presenting.
the is refutation of a environmentalism as a bad idea, uniting the world as only bad and pursuing a new spirituality as shrowded in "dark forces." these seem like good things? plus he hates on yoko and john as if they are dangerous occutists...
quoting:
"Limiting the population of the earth to 500 million will require the extermination of nine-tenths of the world's people. The American Stonehenge's reference to establishing a world court foreshadows the current move to create an International Criminal Court and a world government. The Guidestones' emphasis on preserving nature anticipates the environmental movement of the 1990s, and the reference to "seeking harmony with the infinite" reflects the current effort to replace Judeo-Christian beliefs with a new spirituality.
The message of the American Stonehenge also foreshadowed the current drive for Sustainable Development. Any time you hear the phrase "Sustainable Development" used, you should substitute the term "socialism" to be able to understand what is intended. Later in this syllabus you will read the full text of the Earth Charter which was compiled under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong. In that document you will find an emphasis on the same basic issues: control of reproduction, world governance, the importance of nature and the environment, and a new spirituality. The similarity between the ideas engraved on the Georgia Guidestones and those espoused in the Earth Charter reflect the common origins of both. "
i want to be in tune with the infinant. nature is important. there are some good socialist ideas.
shouldnt we be thinking about ways to reduce the increase in our population? all the scientists he quotes reinterate the point of humans ruining the environment and being a "cancer" on the world. true. we dont need to kill people and i dont know who suggested this besides the author and hitler (who is not related to this article really...)
maybs i missed the boat on this one, but this seems like unsubstantiated christian fear-mongering to me.
the guidestones dont seem all that evil, just weird.
