This is the horrible lie that the “other half” of new world order pushes.

Unrestrained capitalism.

NWO presents us with 2 choices: communism or capitalism.

One is unrestrained state control (in truth financed by them out of public view)

The other is unrestrained capitalism (allowing them to conduct business with no laws to restrain them).

It’s a false choice.

The choice to make is for legitimate free enterprise, i.e., restrained by laws.

But whose laws ? New world order hates and rejects the Bible, and its minions scream when one suggests basing a legal system on the Bible, God’s Law Word. New world order wants to make their own laws as they see fit.

The Bible differentiates between legitimately working to provide for your household - and taking what is not rightfully yours. Wanting to take what is not rightfully yours is greed, called covetousness in the Bible. It’s straightforward to understand regarding your neighbor’s goods. But it also applies to simple gluttony; things like not selling that stock when it reaches the market price you had planned - you get greedy, i.e., covetous of more profit - and you hang on to it, and the price drops. You can’t decide whether to accept the lower profit or hang on and hope to see it go up again. Then it goes even lower, below what you paid. You got greedy.

Greed is fairly well identifiable to most people; they instinctively know that greed is wrong. The Bible tells us that God’s law is written on our hearts.

It is true that technological advancements were made often by greedy men; that does not prove that greed is good, because technical progress does not confer righteousness. Many evil and wicked men have made technological progress whilst committing all sorts of wicked acts.

It is a man’s responsibility to provide for his household and to be a good steward over what God blesses him with, so he should be pursuing wealth TO THAT END. That is obviously different from pursuing wealth to satisfy one’s gluttony.

Some will be rich, others poor, but this is not an indicator of righteousness: “the race is not to the swift” (Ecclesiastes). We put forth our best efforts, but ultimately outcomes are God’s will, for us to accept. Because God is Creator, God is sovereign over his creation.

Sometimes we see evil people prosper and good people remain poor. Again, Ecclesiastes is a good book to read on this topic, and Job is as well; there’s nothing new in questioning “why ? why ?”, it’s all been questioned and answered before.

New world order has persisted through the centuries: the old banking families, spread into the European aristocracy, spread to America.

They know about sin very much, and temptation. They tempt everyone else to give in to sin, “greed is good”. Don’t feel guilty about being greedy. Go ahead, take what you want.

Where are those angels Friedman asks. Yes, Milton, we know the doctrine of original sin, we know that all people are sinners and we know that you’re twisting this information by leaving out other information. There are people - imperfect as they are - that do good in the eyes of God - yes, even in the Old Testament. Are they perfect, no. But don’t try to drag everyone down into sin with a lie that says its actually good for everyone to be greedy.

Milton, you know that saying such a thing will tend to make people money crazy. Take what they haven’t rightfully earned - as well as spend more than they should, since “greed is good”. Meanwhile, financial elites are patient investors in for the long run that can take advantage of the “sheeple’s” greed. The elites have their own level of greed; notably the desire to sell to the government at outrageous prices and manipulate people so it continues to borrow from elites and tax the sheeple to feed that greed, taking what is not rightfully theirs. Which meshes in well with “survival of the fittest”.

What troubles me about Friedman and his Fan Boys is that he was no Free Market person...his main Monetarism theories required the government to control aspects of the economy

Also, Friedman supported many of the Free Trade deals that not only stripped America of its wealth...they also surrendered sovereignty to foreign entities...allowing non-American groups to decide our economic laws. There is nothing Free Market in letting the WTO (a UN organization) dictate our trade...this is what Friedman supported...

And what every ignorant Free Trader supports

And what Barack Obama, Al Gore, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, et al., support
