RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...
Magenta:
Not for very much longer.
RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me
Magenta:
And the void would be calling...
Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
- Time Warp, The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Where do I start? The insanity has so many fronts: economics, politics and even out-of-comtrol consumeris (and here).
It's utterly amazing...
If Orwell were alive now, he would be reeling from not only seeing his Nineteen Eighty-Four distopia fully realized, but far worse and more frightening than he could imagine. To paraphrase J. B. S. Haldane, the Universe is not only queerer than he imagined, it is queerer than he COULD imagine.
There exists a document that is roundly castigated because it shows Jews to be evil, coniving cabalists who want to rule the world. It is called The Twenty-Nine Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It is worth a read by any aware person. Though the Jews are just a convenient cover for the true masters who follow this outline for domination, they are never-the-less eerily accurate in predicting the world in which we live, especially considering the document was discovered on a park bench at the end of the 1800s.
One must read the Protocols with an open mind. There is a large pile of bullshit on both sides of the argument, but none of it dismisses the truth that is written therein. The Jews are nothing more than whipping boys for the true evil that is behind them. The prophetic written in that document are far more than predictions, they are a roadmap for controlling mass populations.
Consider that they were foundin 1897. That presumes that they were written at some point before that date. Now picture that world of that time and the things that made up society. Now, as you read the Protocols, you will see mentioned the use of mass-media and marketing to keep the rubes chasing gee-gaws and distracted by greed and avarice to the point that they not only don't see their entrapment, but also pay to erect the prison walls, going so far as to produce the fence and lay it in place!
Now add to your reading list: Das Kapital, Mein Kampf and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Taken together, they are the road map, the very blueprint, that leads to Tyrannical Sexual Assault (TSA), a surveillance society and the total and complete control of the global population, through the use of multi-national corporations, religious organizations and scientific research.
What's more, nearly to a man, the population of the world is converted into a world of Judas goats, all leading both themselves and others to the slaughter. We have become so addicted to glashy things, mindless entertainment and creature comforts, that we cannot imagine giving these things up, even when our very lives and those of our progeny are at stake.
Human beings are visual thinkers. We use images to contemplate the Universe around us, and them encode what we see into language in order to transmit those images to others, who then decode the language back into picutres. In other words, our brains are constantly creating JPEG files, and then uploading and downloading them to and from the Universal internet.
Now, if you study mass media and marketing theory, you learn that an outside party can control and manipulate the images in your brain, and thus control your thoughts, motivations and desires, by manipulating the icons and images with which we perceive the Universe.
With sufficient repetition, we can no longer determine if the images in our minds are original or implants. Our reactions to stimulus beome suspect. Our motivations may be subliminal suggestions planted in ill-prepared and insufficiently filtered brains. In other words, the enemy is no long at the gate, it is standing in front of us, posing as our reality, well within our internal security zones. We are told to trust these phantoms and soon hand them the keys to the gates, and before we know it, the Visigoths are running rampant through our reality. We can not longer separate friend from foe. Our shields are down.
In effect, the world has become a tri-lateral cult of greed and self-interest. People like Joel Osteen and others promote this selfishness through the medium of religion. Madison Ave. promotes it through gee-gaws and useless consumerism. Political systems promote it as a us-versus-them sports mentality. The physical world is divided into teams: the Americas versus the Eur-Africans versus the Asians. Just bread and circuses writ large -- Oceania, EurAsia and East Asia, to use Orwell's terms.
The telescreens are installed, the scanners in place, the Two-Minutes' Hate is broadcast, MiniTruth is at work, and the Though Police are on the prowl. It's all here, right now, at your dorrstep and in your pants (thank you TSA).
Instead of being alarmed, we are all chasing the carrot dangling in front of us while pulling the cart of our doom behind us. Like Marley, in A Christmas Carol, we have forged the chains of our own damnation and now we must wear them. And the truly sick part is we are not forced into this, but happily pick them up and carefully position them on our bodies while calling it fashion.
Many years ago, I recall an ad campaign, as part of Nancy Reagan's inane 'Just Say No' initiative, against the use of cocaine. A man is in a padded cell, walking in circles, saying to himself, "I need cocaine, so I can work harder, so I can make more money, so I can buy more cocaine..." That man is you, now, this very minute. Just substitute cocaine with whatever gee-gaw, like TV or video games or whatever, that you tell yourself you can't live withou.
In fact, there are only three things we can't live without: water, food and Love. Everything else is just plain bullshit.
The question becomes, do we have the will to free outselves? If not, then I suggest the following as the new common greeting:
"Good morning! My what nice chains you have!"
