Wow! Thats hard to believe that someone of his intelligence would succumb to the lie of the Elite. Oh, I am very familiar with the lie too. I used to work for the Freemen Institute a few decades ago (yes I'm a dinosaur, but a lively one!) and we were dedicated to exposing the criminal acts of the CFR, FED, Tri Lats, international bankers, etc.
One of my most memorable experiences was of then US Congressman Dick Cheney, who had read a book we published entitled "The Naked Capitalist" (not a condemnation of capitalism but an exposure of the evil use of capitalism by the few). Anyway Cheney told me to my face that what was in the book was the absolute truth. Months later he became a traitor to the cause of freedom and joined the CFR. I suppose the reasoning they used in recruiting Cheney is the same line @sneak has adopted, i.e., the peasants are too stupid to govern themselves and must be led and dominated. In fact they want it that way.
Actually with all lies there is some truth mixed in. But domination is not the answer. The answer, at least in part, can be found here in Steemit where we are engaging and developing a new paradigm that I like to call "cooperative abundance". This is where we lift, sustain, encourage, and develop individuals and in so doing strengthen the community. What a dream! Can we do it? I believe it is imperative that we try. I believe in the vision of blockchain and it's potential. So if @sneak is one of the creeps Quigley speaks of then damn his eyes! (I guess that's blunt enough).
The Freemen Institute was one of the first to promote Quigleys book by the way. Pure Democracy is a trap too, one in which the masses are usually manipulated by the elite few (The EU comes to mind). As a relative newbie I saw the thing about blocking the anti-vaxers and was stunned but let it go since I was so unfamiliar with the platform. But if that really was done, then, Damn his eyes once more. So you definitely have my attention and I'll make little minnow, whoops, red-fish waves, where I can as I follow your lead, if I may.
I appreciate the fact that you may be sticking your neck out quite far, and hope you discover a penitent @sneak and no attempt to further squelch freedom of this sort here in Steemit. Many blessings. Here, I'll give you my .07 cent incentive. Go get 'em!
I have adopted Steemit as my home... a place where yet unexplored visions and dreams can become reality. I want to be part of that. I see way beyond the mundane reality of posts, and comments and upvotes into a galaxy of potential that may help transform humanity into something that no longer needs or wants the domination of the few.
Excellent comment, @mistermercury. You hit on some really great points I agree with. You get my follow and upvote. I just posted my own story of what I have had to put up with here on steemit at Steemit's Malicious @steemcleaners downvote ATTACKS. I would really appreciate if you might give it a read and add any input you may have.
You are assuming @sneak is someone "of his intelligence" when he has mostly shown himself to be an immature, unremarkable and emotionally driven petulant little child mostly. If he was intelligent, his requirement to make this website work might be happening. The milestones from 2016, 2017 and 2018 might be getting accomplished. The steemit.com ux/ui might work at least as well as a copy of postnuke from 2005 or so, and he might not dress like he just fell out of a matrix satire movie.
Overall, we have CHILDREN with NO EXPERIENCE at the helm of stinc's most important roles, like ceo and tech leads, just for example.
No wonder the smart guy in the band LEFT. I'd quit too if I was surrounded by incompetence.
Yes, there are more than just rumors out that a new and improved version of Steemit will be coming this summer. Interesting development. Will be fascinating to observe human behavior when it goes online, mine included. I hope you are wrong, though, about some of the less than stellar management you indicate may have executive roles. Many blessings.
Nevermind steemit, steem will continue for some time with or without them, but there is a new block chain coming created by the same man who invented steem and bitshares, who has left steemit incorporated to go build a better system. It launches in June, but there may not be any social network sites available right away. They will come soon enough though, it's quite a robust system.
It's called EOS, and you can learn more at http://eos.io
Yes, in many ways I rather dread the new systems launch. I'm hesitant to embrace it. I mean it will be like having two girlfriends... always a very challenging and dangerous enterprise! But, life will go on. Won't it?
myspace into facebook into steemit into ?
let's hope it's profitable, and enjoyable, not necessarily in that order.
hahahaha, i know you are being flat sarcastic.
I hope
SMTs are a sad joke on the end of a sadder story, so far.
Well it was beginning to seem like Lightning Net was somebody's pipe dream until they rolled out the publicly accessable test net. Miracles do happen it seems. 😎
Once in a blue moon...
You both made me laugh so hard. Thanks
Thanks for your comment! Followed! The Freemen movement, as often misguided as I think it is (at least in britain where it often calls on the magna carta, which itself is not exactly fair and balanced) are at least aiming to create a better world.
I already know that every problem can be resolved simply through unbiased and open minded exploration and willingness to increase understanding. I certainly wish that to occur here.
Yes, I try to remember at all times to "Seek first to understand." This seems to be a good way to approach things. I forget sometimes and get on a very unstable band wagon. I try and remember to apply this to myself too: I try and be mindful of the genesis of my own beliefs and at times, delusions. Ah, this being human can be a challenging thing. The Freemen Institute was closely tied to the Mormon church, of which I was once a devout member. The Institute ran into financial problems but is still out there under a different name. I did learn a great deal from my time with them that I still use however. Blessings.
Oh I see, OK - I don't know much about freemen in America - only the 'freeman on the land' movement in Britain, which might be quite different.
One of the most valuable awarenesses is that of recognising how our emotional self is gapped away from our thinking self - meaning that in one moment we recognise the need to increase understanding and in another moment we return to our pre-conditioning of 'fight/survive/retaliate' etc. - instead of bringing the two realities together in the heart. <3
Having the intent to heal, balance and evolve is the powerful anchor that helps us to learn more, day by day, how to proceed with continual respect, grace and success :)
Indeed, your last sentence sums it up, to "heal, balance and evolve...". This paradigm is one we must embrace and nurture in our world.
Here you mention Indonesia!**are you from indonesia? **
a bit of my view of the thugs in Indonesia the freeman.In **Indonesia **the honor charter is held by the corrupt rulers who live the luxury of the results of the people's money politics over the suffering of the people, they often manipulate. unfortunately the law for this corrupt ruler can be obsolete by them freely doing corruption crime kill generation.
The freeman concept began in Britain hundreds of years ago - thanks for letting us know about Indonesia, but we weren't specifically talking about Indonesia.
I apologize my friend, for my is translite
Another huge problem with Steemit is that work produced by a female can be destroyed to due to an abusive Steemit Troll's comments. You cannot block destructive troll comments.

@baah, appreciate your insight. But I can't resist asking: what is your dogs name? Humbug!?
I appreciate that you stand up to vaxxers and fascists but I always get frustrated that you don't seem to get that flagging really is censorship. It is also being banned from earning any money if you don't tow the party line.
And you do only have $115 in your wallet...
Jesus you can be a cryptic prick.
Did you just call me a total dickhead in your last post?
