Oxen Were The Robots Taking Human Jobs 7,000 Years Ago - And They Created Economic Inequality

There are complaints, for example, that the .00001 running companies make high multiples of what the average employee gets. read more

Chapter 27: The Rothschild Banking Dynasty: How Zionist Luciferian Overlords Came to Rule the Earth
*The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank of International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks whi... more »
Heidegger’s Children
The problem with Martin Heidegger is that the shadow of Nazism, which always looms over him, makes it difficult for scholars to take an objective view of his philosophy. I think, Heidegger’s reputation pressures scholars to pay too much attention to investigating his connection with Nazism when they should be focusing on the non-political side of his philosophy. I would love to read a book on Heidegger’s philosophy that does not digress into the area of nazism. The book that I am currently reading, Richard Wolin’s *Heidegger’s Children*, is the story Heidegger’s four Jewish students... more »
