"The Oxford English Dictionary, considered an authority on the English language, credits William Makepeace Thackeray for the first published use of the word ‘capitalism’ in his novel, The Newcomes (1853-55), though it is clear from its context that this refers to finance capital, rather than as a ‘system’."
"Private owners for profit" as you highlight has nothing to do with the meaning of the word capitalism.
Like I said, a capitalist is one who uses finance capital to make more money, which has absolutely nothing to do with someone selling their goods or services and making a profit. Selling products or services is free enterprise and is not and never has been capitalism and any claim to the contrary has always been socialistic/communistic propaganda.
That false and deceptive argument goes way back before any of us were born and is intended to help put the laborers against business owners and lump them together with the real capitalists. This is how laborers are used to do the bidding of the ruling elite in order to pass "worker rights" bills, etc... so that the state can take more and more control of many aspects of smaller privately owned businesses. It is a step towards socialism and then ultimately communism. The bottom line is that your claim is subversion created by the communists but it doesn't seem that you are aware that you have been used in that manner to propagate such a mythological belief but it's a historical fact.
You also completely ignore the fact that most of what I have ever published has already been posted for free online at one time or another but most people do not want to take the time to search for it and would rather have it compiled in one place to save time. You also ignore the point that I made that this isn't a hobby for me but it seems that it is for you.
What do you do to earn your income and why don't you just volunteer your time for free and ask for donations?
I address each of your points, but you conveniently skim past mine and simply repeat what you already said. Just because your primary source of income might not have anything to do with this field doesn't mean that the same standards shouldn't apply to you. Suddenly someone does something in the "free energy" field and they're not allowed to earn their income from it and they're a capitalist? That's completely made up and is a double standard.
I have also contributed many gigabytes of open source work that I was involved in online for 15 years that is free for the taking. Some of that has value and some doesn't, but I shared it without asking anyone in return for anything - that is usually ignored by those criticizing me as you are doing right here.
dR_Green is absolutely right. My two statements are not miles apart - they are completely congruent and I can't state it any better than he already did.
I also don't appreciate the underhanded insults about "deity inventors" - I worship no man and neither does anyone I know. These people are my friends and I associate with people that not only have their ideas but build things that work that I can see with my eyes and measure with my hands. The reason many of them have some kind of "celebrity" status in this field is because they're time tested and proven so to speak. The very people that you are insulting are the very ones you wish would hand their life's work over to you on a silver platter.
And how many people need to die? That's beyond disingenuous. By publishing books of people's works, they obviously don't go do the grave and I spelled that out in my last post. You have ignored basically everything I said, which was pointed out to you and then come back to state something that continues on the same path of deception.
I said, "you are lucky to even know what it is at any price but you obviously are not able to appreciate the fact that its not taken to the grave."
And your comeback is about how many people have to die. That is all complete BS David and you know it. Why can't you just accept what is being said for what is being said instead of twisting or ignoring it?
I do honestly appreciate the fact that you have purchased some of the books and videos, but money is not my priority and if something is blatantly false, I'm going to say something. I'm not going to fake being agreeable to something that I don't agree with in order to make more sales. My integrity comes before money and it always will. I'm involved with all of this because it is a calling and I'm passionate about it.
If I was interested in just making money, this is the LAST field that I would try to do that in for countless obvious reasons.
