1. It is part of a doctrine.

It thinks of every racial or cultural group as a different team. Each team trades and gets 'people' in its group.

It actually is an offshoot of Dune also, with how the Bene Gesserit were using multiple ancestral lines in hopes of creating someone special from all the great house lines, however it was the mother that chose love over being told what she had to do, that ended up having Maud'dib in that story. So it is a story in many places. Dune also had same thing as star wars, but was called weirding speech. The military calls it command tone.

Some actually think that way. There was a skit on Chappel Show that also showed that. Where people were traded between races.

If they said that it would be because they would be thinking racial groups are different sides, also part of SG1 where each Gou'ld was a different myth group.

It is standard polytheism without concept of good or bad, but only concept of sides. Gets people to fight over nothing. It can also be monotheism, where God is part of only one cultural or race, and the rest are under control of pride things.

Much easier to think of it that people in all races have many people of more good and more bad by action and heart, and each sees those things in different ways forming different cultures around concepts of the supernatural, and what is better in thought, feeling and action.

If you can be gotten to fight someone by race or creed, then you don't see the real corrections, that is also part of lack of vision on how to correct problems. However 'lack of vision' was the bad emperors down fall as he said it about Luke, rules applied back, he could not see Lukes vision. Interesting stuff.

Getting people to fight over nothing is used to stop any better results, then create sadness when it is learned that was what was done. Why also compassion and mercy with love is needed.

There are label traps in there also, from biases of different groups, if you follow those label traps you do the same thing.

2. Cenk's right that you do have to counter it, despite its ridiculousness...

No, you won't convince the true-beliving nutballs, but they're not who you're trying to reach.

You're after the bystanders, the people who aren't paying attention, but wind up hearing crap like this as background noise. If there's no counter-noise, they just pull everything further and further to bizarroland.

9. agreed. this analysis comes on the last minute n a half of this clip

All waves of misinformation MUST be corrected...because the promoted info is wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG! Otherwise you end up with disastrous results...remember when 40% or so of Americans believed as late as 2006 the Bush administration storyline that Iraq was involved in the 9/11 attacks? Cenk classically went BALLISTIC over that!

3. I happen to know that having an Indian name is not a sign of membership

in the tribe. But of course the idiot rwers do not know that. Many of us have one. I love thunder and my name reflects that. My grandchildren are members of the tribe but I am not. My sister also has one for things we did for the tribe while living in their lands.

8. All they need for someone they don't like to be considered

a member of something they don't like is the thinnest possible connection, association, or tie. Just look at Glenn Beck's chalkboard. Just look at how easy it is for them to label anyone they don't like a terrorist. Iraq. al Qaeda. Iraq. al Qaeda. al Qaeda. Iraq. Iran.

And btw, I say go ahead and give it back to the Native Americans. They can't fuck it up worse than we did.

4. Does this erase the debate about him being a "native born" citizen??

Or can one still be a Kenyan Muslim if one is also a Native American? :crazy:

5. So WTF is wrong with giving the country back to Native Americans?

They would do a better job than the pasty bloated talabangelicals running this country now.

[Enthusiast]

6. As long as they have their 'followers'

listening to garbage like this new conspiracy theory there is little chance they will notice the country is becoming a corporatocracy right under their nose.

7. Great! Now when we make a phone call,

we're going to have to push 3 for English, 2 for Spanish and 1 for Sioux!
