20.07.01.0750 ENSLAVEMENT OF THE MIND IS ENSLAVEMENT OF THE BODY: Oh how stupid we all are – at least some us including me. Have you ever mentally recognized the fact of something in a limited area & rigidly held that truth to that one limited area not allowing your mind to set that wisdom free applying it to all areas of contemplation? Oh how stupid that is.

When the word “slavery” is broached it, at least me & possibly you as well, conjures up visions of physical brutality. Now I’m not saying that slavery doesn’t involve brutality – not in the least. BUT what kind of brutality should come into question in your mind. You shouldn’t limit your mind to physical brutality. Free your mind’s eye to see mental brutality as well – that’s all I’m saying.

Anytime Thomas Sowell speaks it’s a very good idea to listen very attentively. Professor Sowell drops a single seed in this video appearing to not be giving a second thought to the significance of that seed. And out of this VERY LENGTHY video that single seed is all that this post is about. That’s not to say that many other valuable pieces of information aren’t within this entire video that’s more than well worth watching.

Professor Sowell, with or without realizing it, espouses a truth (a wisdom) that’s straight out of Christian Scriptures. And as ironic as it may sound there’s a #MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) video creator by the name of TFM (Turd Flinging Monkey) screaming this very same truth (or wisdom) to anyone that’ll listen to him. This post has no interest here in bringing up any of the many other pieces of important information contained in this video – just the one.

I had never thought about Socialism in this way before. I’ve only thought of how wrong Socialism is by virtue of Karl Marx’s refined description of he applied to Communism: “From those according to their ability; to those according to their need.” And never did I see that Communist Socialism is a double edged sword cutting in more than one direction. This little seed makes evident the true insidiousness of Socialism – this one little seed shows Professor Sowell & the Great Monkey to be absolutely right in their assertions. And they’re both talking about enslavement of the mind that enslaves the body as well. The body can do nothing without first the mind agrees to it.

DEPENDENCE, yes dependence is a chain of enslavement – a mental chain. And Welfare State is just one of the ways to establish & administer that Dependence. While Christian Scriptures uses Indebtedness, Professor Sowell & The Monkey are speaking of Dependence. Communist Socialism enslaves “those according to their needs” just as as it enslaves “From those according to their ability.” This same truth can easily apply to any Welfare States & The United States Department of Indian Affairs as well.

I had never before recognized that slaves in the United States prior to the American Civil War were enslaved by Dependence, but it makes perfect sense & explains a multitude of things. That is the seed dropped casually by Professor Sowell at Time Stamp 30:00 as if everybody already understood it.

There is something worth taking to the bank. And a Texan by the name of Lyndon Banes Johnson’s (A Democrat President of the United States) War On Poverty (or something like that) was & is a Chain of Dependence Enslavement used first on black communities & now on single mothers of any race. Enslaving minds and destroying the family unit wherever it used. Non-bankrptable student loans to women is just another way to apply Chains of Dependence. But forgiveness of such loans would be the elimination of only one of the two injuries leaving the other wound in place – this isn’t an honest remedy either.

Young Men, consider #MGTOW (Men Goinng Their Own Way) as Feminist Theory is actually based on their exploitation of this very same knowledge – so Communist Feminism is culpable as well.
