  1. Hi all,
    I live in England so I’m not as such included in US politics, however Cynthia McKinney will always be my political hero, for the reasons mentioned above in Catherine’s reply. I do some NGO campaigning and I’m highlighting this issue in that campaigning.

  2. First, the dialectic was not started by Hegel. But to deny that these forces are everywhere is to misunderstand nature, Newton’s Laws and equilibrium.

    Second, I employ other analysis techniques to draw my conclusions, which sometimes includes direct firsthand experience. But I do not always present all of this information for some is beyond the scope of this comment section.

    Third, I research these actors thoroughly, with no preconceived notions no matter how these actors are framed in the public.

    Fourth, perhaps some research into this women and her family is in order for those who remain objective. There are significant and relevant findings to be gained from this inspection.

    Lastly, just because someone is presented as a public savior does not necessarily mean that this is the case. Blindly trusting those presented in this frame is exactly what is expected, and is part of our own weakness. If we are to secure and ensure our liberty, then we must dramatically improve our understanding of the deceptive techniques that are repeatedly used to contain us.

    I’m quite disappointed at the wholesale kneejerk reactions presented in response to my initial comments. I would have thought that those visiting this site would have at least inquired as to why these statements were being made.

    I won’t back down on this one, and I am quite confident and comfortable in my individuality with this.

  3. @Catherine: I was wondering why Bert completely relies on his Hegelian dialectics,,,IMHO ex-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a true soldier…Circular thought as he so avidly propounds adds nothing to the efforts by those of action…I’m sorry Bert but theories like Hegel’s have little value if you continuously attempt to squeeze all political/economic reality through that needle’s eye…I can only guess you are a “pure theorist”??? I once held that ( and may still ): the gulf between theory and practice is vast and most of the time the pure thought that is encapsulated in the theory never completely and adequately is translated as it is meant to when it becomes practice…What I read from your comment is that you perceive that Ms McKinney’s actions have some sinister hidden meaning that we should all view as we witness her actions in the Med…and if we only all saw the world through your rose colored Hegelian sunglasses it all makes perfect sense…well Bert so sorry, but I don’t see it that way…warm regards

  4. Well, it is true that lots of actions like these get used and the games that go on are many. I take Bert’s point to heart. Some days I feel like every thing I do gets picked up by the Tapeworm and used and twisted. So I get a good night sleep and just go back in there, believing that there is a higher power, a greater intelligence way beyond the Hegalian idiocy.

  5. Looks like you’re the lone wolf on this one Bert. Cynthia McKinney will always be on my list of heroes, I’m surprised you trust Catherine with such heartfelt cynicism. My prayers are with you as well.

  6. I am under no illusions. I stand firm with my earlier assessment.

    You are witnessing a dialectic-actor performing a role which will be leveraged to create a future synthesis. While I have not followed the dynamics closely enough to understand the planned forthcoming synthesis, I can assure you it is in formation.

    To dismiss this frame of thought is to dismiss your own sentience, which only helps to perpetuate our cycle of abuse.

  7. I don’t know where this agent provocateur named ‘Bert’ gets off, but Cynthia was my vote for President in ’08, and I would do it again. She’s a true American hero, if you ask me.

    The utter, naked avarice of the Israeli rogue state appears for all who have eyes to see — no ‘stunt’ appears necessary!

    I’m in — my prayers going out to Congresswoman McKinney and her party.
