The Welfare State is a SHAM
The problem plauging the World at the moment is the rising up of a generation of easilly controlled mindless automatons, whom have no sense of community or service to anyone but themselves. This Generation is entirely the product of the Welfare State. The Welfare state was created as a means of controlling the masses. Essentially. Governments do not like the idea of loosing control over people. This is very dangerous business.
In the 18th century the era of the Great Enlightenment, not only was supprssed mystical knowledge being brought back out into the open . Of course There is no greater symbol of the enlightenment then the rise of the freindly society movement the means by which the workers could emancipate themselves with. The Freindly society movement was in essence the Freemasonry of the people and because it was considered so odd that working people should organise themselves into a mutual aid fraternity that it goes that is one of the reasons the Oddfellows got their name. Of course the Government of the UK was not too pleased at these organised gatherings of working people. Part of the concern about Freindly Societys was that they provided a means of organising the masses effectively. At the time the Government of Great Britain was concerned at such organisation might lead to a repeat of the French Reveloution. And so the freindly societys were forced underground for a time untill that is the early 1800s when they re-emerged publicly.
The freindly societys were the only organisations that united the workers and provided the means by which working class people could protect their familys, whillst providing for their own personnel improvement. And through personnel improvment comes freedom from a system, that system beiung the class system. The traditional freindly society encouraged members to aspire to become better people, in the process providing the means by which the ordinary man might elevate himself. This is of course dangerous because it means a way out of the trap for people. The trap being the low class slums with their low class ideals. The ideas and practices of the working poor fitted their position in life. Many had no ambition or were looking for a majick silver bullet to solve all their problems, of course in reality improvement only comes through hard work and effort. The freindly societys provided the mechanism by which the worker might improve his lot in life. It gave the member ambition.
The freindly society provided the means by which working people could improve themselves and the future of their family and community meaning that they would not be bound for ever to their miserable existence in the low class slums. With the rise of the freindly societys the working class had an opportunity to better themselves and thus free themselves of any dependence upon any Government or Private Sector system. The Great emancipator of the people was the Friendly Society Movement and its time had come. Of course this threatened the established class system because it provided a way out, an opportunity for working people to improve themselves. Since the class system was entirely dependent upon keeping the average workers face shoved firmly into the mud, any system that enabled the worker to free himself of such a plight would surely be the enemy of those whom desired to maintain the class system namely the Government, Private Corporations and select individuals. So naturally the traditional Fraternal Freindly Society has always been targted because it is the antithesis of the class system and structure.
Interestingly we often hear The Communists and Socialists ranting their usual wank about emancipating the working class. So they propose that we go from one system of tyranny and control to another system of tyranny and control. Ha what a fucking joke. The reality of course is that the Communits and Socialists are not just blind they are also stupid. The systems devised for the operation of the freindly societys enabled the freindy societys to provide working people with the real tools of emancpuation….not violent action but self improvement which at the end of the day is the enemy of most systems of control. Systsmes of control usually tend to work at demoralising and disempowering people so that they feel deprssed and are divided. The last thing the rulers want is the workforce empowerd, and united. That would spell the end of the control tacttics that have worked so well for generations hence why the freindly societys have been the target of the state and private sector because freindly societys provide the means by which the worker may pull hhimself out of the dirt so to speak.
The Commies and Socialists totally miss the ball game entirely. With the rise of the freindly society movement the workers were given the abillity to free themselves from the control of others. This is because the freindly society took care of the workers needs. It provided financial aid and insurance, it provided freindship, it provided self improvement and it provided a member owned employment exchange where ,e,bers of different trades gathered. This was of immense help to those members whom found themselves unem,ployed because in being a member of a freindly society they had ready accesss to the best kind of employment exchange available.
Worker emancipation was brought about not because of Karl Marx but because of the workers themselves whom had the motivation and the desire to organise for themselves their own affairs. Thus Socialism and Communism had already lost out well before the year 1900.
Unlike a system of dependence the entraps poeople into a form of lifelong slavery, freindly societys impart values and also encourage ambition and self betterment. They also teach self sufficiency, encourage working together as a cooperative etc. These values are of the uptmost importance when we realise that not all of our problems can be or should be solved by Governments and Corporations. On the contrary the individual must organise him/herself into groups of individuals for the purposes of creating mutually beneficient outcomes.
The workers need to work in with each other, as only such will enable them to pull themselves out of the pit that they are all in. However such unity of purpose would make the workers strong. Once again this is agaisnt the desire of the system which is to divide and rule the working masses. The workers it could be said enslave themselves because they allow themselves to be the puppets of others. They allow themselves to become dependent upon systems of control used by the state and private sector because of the old fact…human nature. Human nature suggets that if a man has everything provided for him, he shall not want and in not wanting shall forget about the ability and need to organise himself. As is the case now, Rather then do it themselves the workers have allowed themselves to becomne slaves to private companys and the state. This of course gives the state and private companys all the power. of course if workers could be motivated to do most things for themelves then they would not need to be dependent upon the state or porivate sector meaning that they would no longer be slaves to the state and private sector. Of course the creation of the welfare state reduced the need for personnel responsbility and thus began the slippery slide to state dominance over our lives. of course it was but one aspect of a much wider growth in dependency. people are nowdays mostly dependent upon others to solve their problems, when will people learn that in order to be free from control of others we must learn to do things for ourselves and thus not rely on the state or private sector. If you are reliant upon others to do everything for you then you are essentially a slave to others.
The problem is, Working class people have grown too accustomed to being provided everything from the state and private sector to the point we have become complacent and essential skills neccesesary for us all to able to be free from the control of others, have been lost because people no longer see the need to do anything for thenmselves after all we live in an age when government will provide you benefitsm and when food can be brought mass produced from a supermarket. As such all those old forms that gave the workers their freedom and independence have been lost This only benefits the state and private sector because now the worker is almost entirely depedent upon those two entitys to provide for the worker. total dependence equals total control equals self imposed slavery to a system of control.
But of course by providing the means to freedom for the workers the freindly society movement has made powerfull enemys in both the State and Private sector. This is because if you are not reliant upon the state or private sector then what need do you have of them? if you can organise yourself with others into a mutual co operative then what pre tell do you need of Govvernment charity and private sector industry? And if your group can provide its own services to its own members without reliance on a private supplier, then that amounts to worker control of production and distribution and thus emancipation from a system of dependence upon private sector companies to provide such servioce to you.
The freindly societys were the greatest emancipators of the workers the world has ever seen. they helped to elevate their members out of the deep dark misery of their confirnment in the ghetto to a much higher plain of personnel responsbility and seflf sufficiency and of community responsbility.
Corporations and Governments provide services that are cold and devoid of meaning. People become slaves to a system where they are just a number. The Social Welfare system has removed any need for people to think or act for themselves because it removed personnel responsbility. And why did the Govwernment become involved in social welfare? so as to destroy the freindly society movement which had empowered the average working man and thus provided a means to ending the slavery of the working operson to either government or private sector.
How many of you reading this blog, or how many people do you know especially the low paid workers and state welfare recipients. how many of them do you know would be capabale of organising themselves into an effective body effective enough to eliminate their need for services and goods provided by the State or Private sector? Answer…NONE. and the reason, to make them all mindless depedents upon the State.
With the welfare state over an intergenerational period has created a nation of sheep, with no will of their own. This in turn has eroded away the freindly society movement because people no longer see the need to get together in groups for mutual aid and fraternity. this in turn has been the number 1 cause to the eroding of community. So many workers say they havent got time to join anything these days. in actual fact this is a blatant lie. the worker has never had it so good. yet they cant be bothered to join anything because they dont see the need…. why dont they see the need, because the state and private sector provide the worker everything he she needs. so as to control the worker .
You may have noticed that Over a period of time, the Government has quietly increased its powers of control in each generation. What this says is that gradually the Government and the Private sector are moving to a system to total control of the human resource, which is being achieved in stages, or small increments. People nowdays are dependent upon the Government and Corporations to do almost everything. This dependency means that there is guaranteed demand for the services and powers of the Government and Corporations and thriough such demand the workerrs becomes a slave to the state and the private cvorporations. So long as people are entirely dependent upon them the State and the Private Corporations are happy. Its when ordinary citizens are able to organise themselves asnd thus elimiante dependence that these two entities the state and the private coprorations become worried because reduced dependence on them means reduced demand for their services meaning reduced power and influence that these two entites The State and the Corporations would have over the lives of ordinary people. Hence why the Welfare state was introduced so as to undermine and destroy the only effective meas for the emancipation of the Workers namely the Freindly Society Movement
For an illustration of this sort of anti competitive total control behaviour see the situation how The mediacal profession in certain parts of the USA reacted to the freindly societys organising their own doctors and dispensarys. The local medical profession with their private interests were infuriated about the freindly societys because why, because those private medical practitioners their liveliehood was at stake because the freindly societys were organising their own schemes free of the need of these private doctors. And so, according to the history in some parts of the USA the Freindly Societys were strictly proevented from organising their own medical schemes.
Politicians and Busineses people like to feel important and have huge crowds of adoring people chasing after them. yet if your undermine their power base by reducing their importance to people well these egotists dont like it because they are no longer these ultra important big wigs that wield a lot of power. It is of concern that we are living in an era omce again where politicians have almost celebrity like status. because symbolically it shows the rise of the State powers. Politicians have a job to do thats true, but ideally they should not be always in our face telling us what to do. At what point did the state decide that it had the power to tell people how to live their lives? People need to be responsible for themselves not government. In government usurping the role of the Great Interviener are we not undermining mans own abillitys, are we not sowing the seeds for a generation of hopelessly dependent people whom lack the abillity to manage themselves? Of course we are and the signs are all there to tell us that such is the case.
We learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others the law of Cause and effect is plain to see for all of us whom have the eyes to see it and the abillity to understand what it means. This isent rocket science. however when you raise up a generation whom have been bred with the idea that the state and private sector will do everything for them, the people become accostomed to that. The dependency upon others to provide is a strong drug and the mass of our society are well and trully dependent upon that drug and demand more, so that the time the next generartion is born the state is no longer just an administrator of laws, it controls you lock stock because gradually over each generation it ups the dosage of control.
The best way to prevent this ultimate control is to reduce the frontiers of the state back to basics. This will of course encounter much stiff opposition especially from the powerfull beuracrats. Howevber they are oinly interested in feathering their own nests and building their own empires. To the career civil servant the politician is a puppet. This is true. What we need are politicians that arent puppets, politicians that are prepared to make radical changes.
Communitys need to take responsibility for the own people. That is the only way people will learn if they are made accountable for their own actions.
ironically the current level of state intervention in the lives of ordinary people could have all been avoided had the States powers been severly curtailed from the start. Sadly no matter how beneficient a ruler, the State is like a cancer that uncontrolled spreads and eventually chokes the life out of the thing it inhibits which in our case is Society. This cancer is driven on by expansionist empire builders whom are the civil servants. The polticians dont do anything other then rubber stamp the civil servants proposals. Alas society have willfully allowed itself to become controlled. and thus dependent upon this drug we call Dependenecy. Dependency is not just related to the Government. There is also dependency upon private sector providers. ultimately these two types of entities that Modern Society is highly dependent upon,. the State and the Private sector are all in this game for one thing, control. and it is this control that the freindly societys pose a thret to because the freindly society provides the worker the means to organise himself and thus not be reliant upon the state or private sector interests and therefore, independent, not dependent. And that is why the State is increasing its dominnance over the lives of average people. Since the State and Private sector are all after the same thing both are working together to ensure that the will of the individual is crushed so that the way is clear for total control of the human resource.
The best way to stiop this is to join your local Freindly Society now.
Traditional Freindly Societys
Traditional Freindly Societys are Fraternal In Nature and have traditions that are similar to and often confused with those of the Freemasons. Of course the traditional Freindly Society movement has its roots in the Independent Order of Oddfellows not the Freemasons allthough both are similar having been tradesguilds. The Oddfellows started in the middle ages when there were guilds for such things as the Stone Masons, but when there were no Guilds for a range of Odd Trades which didnt fit into the existing established trade guilds. So a group of tradesmen from the various Odd Trades went about and formed their own United Guild of Odd Tradesmen for the purposes of Mutual Protection. The idea of these working class people organising themselves into a guild for mutual protection must have seemed rather odd, so the term “oddfellows” was coined. The Oddfellows movement grew.. By the 1700s there were various Independent Oddfellows lodges meeting all over Great Brittain. Soon it would grow, and come to dominate the world as the leading Freindly Society in the world.
Due to schisms within the Oddfellows over the years members have split off and either formed their own Oddfellows Orders or formed new Orders such as the United Ancient Order of Druids and the Ancient Order of Foresters.
The Royal Ancient Order of Buffaloes was founded as a social and benevolent society for actors and stage hands at the Drury Lane Theartre in Londons West End, in 1822. It spread fast and by 1866 moves were afoot to establish a Grand Lodge of England which was achieved in 1867. The Buffaloes main emphasis is on raising money for supporting members but not via any means of fixed contribution, rather each member pays a Registration fee and other fees and such is used to provide short term relief for the member in need. The Buffaloes in New Zeakland Terms thus fall under the title of a “Benevolent” Society when it comes to the Freindly Societys Act.
The Lodges of the various freindly societys provide an effective means of organising people, it brings them together under the bonds of freindship and Harmony. Essentially lodges are like extended family. Each member is a Brother or Sister and is bound to treat each other with respect and ensure that none of the brethren or their immediate family suffer undue hardship or poverty. The lodges through ritual impart teachings about how to be a better person, The ritual roles encourage members to aspire to climb the ladder of progress within the Order and in doing so, build up 0neself so that one may become a more effective unit in the wider social order
In this way through the bonds of trust and brotherly love the traditional freindly society is already light years ahead of the modern freindly society in that in the traditional society members arent just members they are very much a part of the family and recognised as such at all levels wheras in modern organisations memnbers are just members and thus the ties of freindhsip that would run deep are not there since there is no family feel or structure and no ritual roles and moral teachings.
Interestingly no Government or Private Company has been able to achieve that which has been done by the freindly societys. Government and Private Sector systems are charactarised by their absolute abuse of power and privallege and also by treating customers as mere numbers not people. Such is the complete opposite to the freindly society movement which raise up their members therough ritual and moral teaching and which treats members not as numbers but as members of the lodge family. Governemnt doe not provide anything near what the Freindly Society does for the wellbeing of its memnbers. Freindly Socitys take into account the moral, physical and financial wellbeing of their members, wheras the Governemnt has no interest in the moral wellbeing of those who receive benefits meaning most people on the dole end up continuing their sad existence because they are not provided the means to do anything else with their life. If only they could be persuaded to join one of the traditional freindly sociteys they would soon find a means to elevating themselves out of the rut that they are in.
