The Unfinished Fight for Freedom
One purpose of this site is to show you that terrorism is not simply a
struggle between good guys and bad guys.
There are complex social forces that shape our lives - everyone's life.
That includes you and me. The more we understand about how these
forces operate, the better we can make informed decisions.
One way to influence people in foreign countries, is to be a good role
model. If we are going to help people change for the better, it
makes sense to start with ourselves.
Child development
relationship is altered by the influences of modern civilization,
and also in developing countries that have been torn by war over periods
of many years, such as Afghanistan.
Children are often damaged by neglect, control, abuse, and the false
ideas that pervade their society. Fear, anger, bad
memories, and a host of things that defy description, reside in their
minds long after the circumstances that caused them. They are vulnerable
and may fall prey to people that promise that if they give their time,
energy, and money now, they will find happiness in the future.
Our modern society has fostered the development
of institutions in
government,
education,
health-care, and others.
These have taken on a life of their own, just like people.
They will fight to survive, and will lie if necessary, directly or
indirectly. These institutions can be parasitic, and control our
lives, if we allow them to. A successful parasite has "stealth"
properties, which is to say that it does everything it can to look
beneficial and wholesome. This is extremely deceptive.
A parasitic institution operates by leading people down a primrose path. It often has a way of dulling people's minds by a variety of methods. One way involves keeping people very busy. Someone who is "snowed under," doesn't have time to think.
Many people have died before us in the quest for freedom. But the struggle is not over. It requires that you use your mind - thinking independently - reexamining long held belief systems. Things are not always as they appear.
