Allow me to explain: All christians, muslims, jews, and even atheists, all worship the same god: Government. You all do as the government tells you to do, you worship the government. Athesist are excluded from this part: All other religious people, your god, the highest form of authority told you "thou shalt not murder, and thou shalt not steal" Yet, we go to war, and we tax, and you proud yourselves upon doing this. It is clear as glass which god you ultimately worship, you put human authority over the authority of the divine.

Now, let me get into a deep explanation about why people choose to believe in god: Its not silly wishful thinking and its not to have an imaginary friend, no, its to have an authority over any other authority, but the problems arise when humans use this authority to control each other, and this authority should only be used to stay free from the authority of anyone else. The government over rules this authority and have replaced it with their own authority.

The reason i believe in god is so that none will hold authority over me, and i will hold authority over none as well.

In case you didn't watch the video, its not a conspiracy theory, its an anti-state speech which is not a conspiracy theory.

conspiracy? youre right its a conspiracy, and not a conspiracy theory, the government is in every part of our lives and we cant do anything without breaking ties off from them but to do so is to be labelled a terrorist and to live a life of poverty, barely making it by...

So i dont see where youre coming off from?

Not really worth the time of 20 minutes, but it was worth it for two minutes.

Great Quote...

If he votes for freedom he is letting others be free, if not then not. There is no freedom from freedom. There is nothing innately wrong about voting. It can eighter be a good tactic to achieve a free society or not. There is no common rule.

No its not freedom if youre stuck to 2 choices about how things should be run, thats an illusion of freedom

I did not need to watch the video to know this well established fact: the Government is a pile of . Any government. And we are told to despise and look down on countries like Russia, Iran and China for having so-called "corrupt" leaders, when we ourselves are living in a similar situation. Take the UK government for example. A few days back a politician called a policeman a "pleb". Those who don't understand this word should be told it means " a commoner ". Today, our Prime Minister, David Cameron, reveals there will be no inquiry into the matter.

We are only told the true meaning of events after the whole event simmers down, and then no-one can be bothered doing anything about it.

Take TV licenses. We in the UK have to pay a TV license (around £145 a year) if we want to watch TV. This applies to any device capable of showing TV. ALL this money goes to the BBC - so this is effectively a state-owned, state-controlled TV and Radio company.

And then there's the watching. The constant watching of every single move. Both in real life and on the Internet. My emails, texts, phone messages and basically everything I don't send by cup and string - monitored.

Then there's the wars across the globe. I don't truly know why we are there. And besides, how am I supposed to believe the TV company that the government gives our money to?

And finally - the big old promises they make come election time, that once they're in office, get wiped off the board and replaced by the initiatives which will allow them to make more money. They promised to fix the debts and all the rest of the bull. Instead, they have dug the hole deeper and borrowed even more money.

But in the end, what is there we can do about it? We can't vote for None of the Above, since the governments control the voting methods. We can't suddenly decide that the government is robbing us blind and we'd like our money back. I may be an idealistic teenager but I cannot understand why some people still sit and watch their countries being destroyed from within.

And with that, I stop my rant. Thank You.
