The Black Sheep Herald

As is increasingly happening between and among that small segment of people naturally inclined to seek & tell the truth (or greatest likelihood) and whom either always have or eventually come to esteem the liberty of individual people as a result of what they learn in the course of their truth-seeking and telling, the paths of disparate people who probably never would have had occasion to interact in a prior time are regularly crossing now, those who further might never have agreed with each other about societal and political issues in that former time. Here we have another and exceptional intersect between two of the good guys, James Corbett & Jimmy Dore, or so I deem them, anyway.

Both would once have described themselves as liberals, and maybe Dore still would, but those labels are increasingly irrelevant, as the schism within society is really just about truth & freedom, most people having no stomach or regard for either, and causing those who do to easily spot and ally with each other.

I think these intersections and their resultant conversations are perhaps the most positive indicators of a future virtuous human society. Note, as is always true in such intersections, the civility of the conversation:

One of my favorite aspects of the rise of libertarian thinking and of people willing to see and accept what actually happened in the past, and how things actually work, actually are, or at least probably, plausibly are, i.e., the ‘truth’ movement (which often then leads to libertarian thinking), is the convergence and alliance of various voices in those worlds.

It seems that people who are inclined to open-mindedly inquire about….whatever, and who are tempermentally suited to accepting whatever they might discover – that is, such people don’t care if George Washington did or did not have a moral conundrum over a cherry tree, are not personally invested in that story or any other – tend to find each other over time, and I have found that their discussions, however they might once have defined themselves politically, are almost invariably civil, good natured, informative, constructive, and building upon each other’s awarenesses and expertises, to be synergistic. But the tone alone indicates the value.

A society of people interacting like people do in these intersections would be a fine world to live in, I suspect. Good – and interesting – to listen to, these conversations and intersections are probably the most hope inspiring thing I’m aware of about humanity’s potential to climb out of the crab pot, some of of us, anyway.

This is a conversation between American attorney ‘Lee Gaulman’ of The Quash webcast (highest recommendation) and Englishman, James Delingpole, one likely an agnostic or atheist, the other fervently Christian, both formerly considering themselves conservatives of one form or another and thinking that the similar structures of government they each lived under were legitimate and controllable, now entirely disabused of that notion, both having looked behind the curtain, never to be able to unsee what’s back there, and, not wanting to.

Whether it’s Mark Crispin-Miller talking to Catherine Austin-Fitts, or Greg Reese talking with Celia Farber, these intersections are always good news, the best news, perhaps. Delingpole is unusually quiet in this one (he has a great webcast), mainly just listening to Gaulman, whose expertise in law is significant, the nuts and bolts legal perspective unusual, as is the stark directness of his message, one I have long shared, and which time has come, or so I hope.
