Yes Liberty is a concept, yes US does a great deal of talking about respect for individual liberty, a lot of nations do, especially western europe. If you are talking about the symbol of lady liberty the french use it a great deal.
We agree to disagree.
Reading newspapers from the 1800s does nothing to refute anything I've posted or the point I made that today, speech isn't limited to printing press ownership, but to anyone with a internet connection. That is how much freer the ability to disseminate information is, there is no longer any substantial monetary barrier to entry. speech and alternative avenues of media are more numerous now than in the history of the world because of the lack of barriers. On top of that to keep referring to the dead industry of printed media as if it is the standard currently
I never said it's limited to however...internet didn't exist in 1900's however my example is that you can find community newspapers sponsored by the communities all over the country. The information wasn't suppressed like claimed.
As for the jesuit site you are correct, I was wrong in the charge that it is an anti-jesuit site. I was wrong.
It's cool, it's dialogue.
As for the claim if it was protestant they would control the political structure to this day, what is the rationale behind that? Seriously thats a thesis you introduce with no support whatsoever. You say they had no influence and never did, but we have numerous texts from people alive during the period that says counter to your claim, sorry but you have not given me any reason to take your word over theirs. As for jesuits helping napolean sieze power, okay, this has nothing to do with the French revolution seeing that napoleans ascension into power was effectively the end of all the gains and the formation of a dictatorship.
Protestants would have gain political power if they controlled the F.R.( leadership and all). Who were the leaders of their movement?
Show me where the protestants who were a small percentage of the country then had clout. Both Jesuits and Freemasons were the leaders of the F.R. the people who followed like the brain dead angry mob was the protestants.
As for dikk Gregory I know exactly what he is and the stances he claims, I have sat through one of his speeches when he came to speak at Ala St. I remember him being very anti-capitalist but then hawking diet material that would help you live longer over the course of his speech. That is snake oil to me and I've see that with my own eyes.
So you are pro-capitalist and don't like diets. That doesn't make him a con man. His speeches have been constantly and easily vetted on correct info or not.
He listed no sources to check, so it seems to me you are the one lazy to think his word is a source for his statement.
If a claim is made, the best thing you should do is research it...period. Nothing hard about it.
You then post a wall of text about the King trial, when I we were talking a specifically about malcolm X's death. a testbook example of misdirection if i ever saw one.
What I thought you mentioned was MLK...my bad. However the King trial is the perfect example of proof behind assassination plans for Black Leaders.
If NoI did it why would it be easily exposed? Especially if the US government had a undercover agent in the NoI actually trying to make it happen? There is no actual video or evidence of what dikk Gregory claims either, yet you don't seem to be able to hold your conclusion to the same standard as you claim I need to, even though there is clearly more circumstantial evidence that points to the conclusion the NoI was involved, than Gregory's claim which is partially factually incorrect and unsourced. I have actually looked at the FOIA on Malcolm's death, which is why I know about the FBI's program to cause internal strife and play Malcolm specifically against Louis. Its why I now about suspected FBI agents in the NoI. All that said if you can provide any source to support what Gregory says outside himself I'm open to read and review it.[
Unless you have any spec of evidence of NOI involvement in MX's murder...I have alittle more proof here.
