What "labelling" caught your attention?
1. The label fails to account for characteristics outside of the scope of the label. For example, progressives are not normally associated with people that want to engage in nation building, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, etc.
2. (see number 1) Labels insinuate that the opposite of the label is 'good' if the label is bad. Perhaps you could relate to 'conservatives' as a label that you identify with? (just a guess, please forgive me if this is wrong) Problem is, a lot of the so called conservatives are in favor of bad things, too...although they are different bad things.
3. Labels unfairly characterize certain of the people as being a much larger part of the problem than they actually are. For example, in the video a gentleman had attended some sort of a convention when he was in college where a pretty vicious scheme to undermine the family was presented. Do the people that attended the convention represent everyone else that is a progressive or communist? I don't believe that.
Labels also allow for easy cherry picking. The republicans believe this! Democrats do this! Ignoring good things that these labels represent and attacking the bad things. Labelling allows for the bad guys to either narrow or generalize depending on the agenda. It is a divide and conquer strategy.

I think you are bringing preconceptions into this that don't fit.
My intent with the subject line was to show the MISUSE of labels.... where groups desguised themselves as liberals, then progressives..... when they were pushing for a socialist control enabling the traditional communist takeover of the government.
But these "label" are used by the groups themselves! These are not unjustly foisted upon innocents.
As for missing any groups- a one hour video cannot cover the history of the world. It is the pattern and their motis operandi that is being exposed. The method of destruction is clearly explained and it shows the inner decomposition of society by destroying morals, spiritual values and the family.
The assembly of Obama's foundation alone is worth the watch.

So long as it doesn't interfere with you using your credit card for purchases from Communist China, all is well.Quote:

Yes, it still slightly promotes the left-right political paradigm, and places faith with the Republican party, though it does admit they've moved to the left, but that’s the only fault I find with it. It was well done and well researched. It has Christian undertones, but isn’t preaching “because God said so…”. I think some of you guys, though well meaning, can find a reason to reject about anything. No presentation can perfectly capture the problem and deliver it in the best way for everyone, but the basic premise of this movie is the one truth we have to remember: That our form of government (constitutional limited republic) is not suitable for an immoral people. We spend our time trying to defend against the multitude of ways the Zionist bankers are targeting America, but the destruction of morality through the media and educational system has been their most successful agenda. Face it, without a moral revolution in America, we’re done.
Exactly my take VX1.
