The only thing we have to fear is...fear itself
Oct 7^th, 2014 at 7:18pm

Franklin D. Roosevelt made a speech about fear.

Quote:

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself —
nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_inauguration_of_Franklin_D._Roosevelt#Inaugur...

His speech was about the economy but could equally apply to us now with:
a war on terror,
the Ebola crisis,
our shattered economy & debt.

Are we victims of fear?
Is it nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance? - or
is it real & justified?
Is there a leader who can take away our fears & turn our future into something more positive?

Fear makes money. In a world that is run on money, I don't believe so. Sadly.

Nothing would be what it is,
Because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary-wise - what it is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would.

In some ways we play into terrorists hands by making
our country a more fearful place full of Govt. spying etc.

Oh I know. "Big brother" is watching, always watching. What gets me, what with all this effort into surveillance, has it actually done any good? Roll Eyes

It's just an excuse for control if you ask me. In the situation of "terrorism", who is punished for the crime, really? Not the 9/11 hijackers, they got off easily when they exploded. Not Bin Laden... where is he, exactly? It's the regular people that are punished.

4 Corners was a good show but nothing we here on Ozpolitic didn't know already.

Welcome to the Orwellian state.

hilarious bobby...

do you look at your shopping docket??..every detail listed even how much GST you paid.... do you know your supermarket is watching you?????...

guess what not just your supermarket but any supermarket..you pop into your local all nighter and your usual supermarket knows about it..if you use your card....

we are being watched 24/7.. do you do your banking paying bills on the net???.....

should you be afraid......well I dont do anything wrong.. so no ... but I cant speak for my neighbours.... if they are buying up bags of fertiliser..I would much rather someone in authority knew about it...

its a two edged sword bobby... look on the positive side..

many blessings

yet you will continue to experience

that which you focus upon ... and as such

one such as I am will suggest pursue inner peace

there is no fear there , consequently

there is unity and oneness in pure

and divine love and sacred light

this light has always been with you yes

within ..

it is so , and so it is

........so be it

You can't - your Windows operating system is compromised.
