Christmas -- It's a Lie.

Christmas -- It's a Lie.

There's no Messiah that's going to save us.  If we are to be saved, we are going to have to do it ourselves.  That's not going to happen while we pin all our hopes on the second coming of Christ.  As we sit around like stumps on a log, spouting idiocy like "It's all in God's hands", we give away our potential.  We are creators.  If we place the made-up Creator before us, we become nothing, capable of nothing, accomplishing nothing, good for nothing.  That's why organized religion is here, to control us, to diminish us, to enslave us.  Evil essentially has a free hand in the world while we exist in this comatose state of subservience to a Hollywood God.  One look at the state of the world confirms it.  Constant orchestrated wars; mindless pursuit of profit; the uncaring rape of the environment; corruption of the very code of life via GMOs; deliberate poisoning of our air, food, and water; radioactive disasters with the potential to be extinction-level events; and the deliberate whittling away of our basic human rights by criminal governments.  Evil is winning big time.  There is no justice in the world.  Do you want to know why?  The only justice that exists in the world is the justice we make!  If we sit on our hands, thinking all this evil is just part of God's plan, we will certainly reap the predicted apocalypse of the Bible.  But there will be no rapture for the righteous.  Rapture is just another word for justice, and the only justice in the world is the justice we make.  And we aren't making any.

That's the Lie.  That's Christmas.  That's our demise unless we change it.

"You're full of shit."

 

"You're full of shit."

Indeed.  Aren't we all?  That's the point.  We were born into a Matrix of deception, subjected to non-stop programming and propaganda throughout our lives, and herded into positions of certainty regarding what is and isn't "true".  How could we not be "full of shit"?

The quote in the title was delivered to me by the wife of a friend as we debated how President Marcos of the Philippines had become so rich.  She believed the reports she had absorbed over time from the mainstream media, namely that Marcos had stolen his riches from the poor people of his country.  I suggested a different story, an alternate possibility, that he had become rich via payoffs from other rich people for favors rendered.  That's when my ideas were dismissed with the title quote.

I was not offended by her pronouncement.  I'm no stranger to such dismissals, as can be witnessed in this forum's archives.  Dismissals are to be expected by anyone who questions everything and dismisses nothing.  Anyone searching for the real truth is going to face a boatload of dismissals.  It is how the Matrix polices itself and maintains its deception.

I am pleased, in fact, that my friend's wife questioned my perspective.  She should, and I hope she will research all sides of the story to weigh the evidence both pro and con on the issue.  This is unlikely however, as most of us are too busy or too lazy or too sure of ourselves to bother.  I am less pleased that she would so definitively dismiss my perspective without even investigating it.  By doing so, she fails to question her own "facts" and her own beliefs about what is and isn't true.

She also fails to employ a little common sense.  We live in a society of enormous wealth disparity.  I have often discussed the existing wealth gap that continues to explode.  We all see the stats (which must also be questioned) of how 10% of the population holds 90% of the wealth.  In those circumstances, who among us gets rich by taking money from poor people?  By definition, poor people have very little money.  No, we typically get rich by taking money from rich people.  How do you think American politicians become so rich?  Isn't it through secret, under-the-table deals with "special interest groups"?  How do you think "the money" exercises so much control over everything?  "Special interest groups" and "the money" are just euphemisms for rich people.  The rich people control us.  We buy into that control by doing almost anything for money.  When someone gets a lot of money in short order, you can be fairly sure that person is acting in synch with the desires of rich people who are paying him in some manner or another.

So, how did Ferdinand Marcos get rich?

In 1949, campaigning on promises to get veterans' benefits for two million Filipinos, Marcos ran as a Liberal Party candidate for a seat in the Philippine House of Representatives.  He won with 70 percent of the vote.  In less than a year he was worth a million dollars, mostly because of his American tobacco subsidies (financial assistance to grow tobacco), a huge cigarette smuggling operation, and his practice of pressuring Chinese businesses to cooperate with him. -- source

It sounds like he got rich the same way most U.S. politicians do.  But wait, is that the entire story?

But in 1988, Roxas and the Golden Budha Corporation, which now held the ownership rights to the treasure Roxas claims was stolen from him, filed suit against Ferdinand and wife Imelda in a Hawaiian state court seeking damages for the theft and the surrounding human rights abuses committed against Roxas.

In 1992, Imelda Marcos claimed that Yamashita's gold accounted for the bulk of the wealth of her husband, Ferdinand Marcos.

All this led the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal to summarize the allegations leading to Roxas’ final judgment as follows:  "The Yamashita Treasure was found by Roxas and stolen from Roxas by Marcos' men." -- source

Don't I often say the truth is stranger than fiction?

Why yes, I do.

 

Systeming the Game

To a successful sociopath, everything is just a game.  Sociopaths consider themselves to be master game-players, and they are indeed deceivers and manipulators of the highest order.  They have a built-in need to exercise power and control over others, and they do this through "the game".  Sociopaths rule our world, and the ruling sociopaths have run the world for thousands of years.  As a result, the entire human system is gamed.  In fact, the system is nothing but a game, to the point where the game is the system.

You think the daily news is the truth and nothing but the truth?  No, it is propaganda.  You think you have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people?  No, you have just the opposite.  You think you control your money?  No, your money controls you.  You think your representatives represent you?  No, they represent the money.  You think your vote counts, or your voice?  Oh, by the gods, how can we be so blind!

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
 -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The game being played is to make us falsely believe we are free, when in fact, we are slaves.  This only works if we can be made to falsely believe.  The system in place, "the game", is designed to make us do exactly that.  The act of making us falsely believe is called mind control, or brainwashing, or advertising, or "spin".  The spin-doctors have us, and they are societal psychopaths.

You go to school to be educated, but you are not being educated.  You are actually being programmed to falsely believe.  You go to church to do God's work, but you are being led to falsely believe, all while being told you truly believe.  You go to work to earn what you need to live, but in reality, that too is a false belief.  What you think you need to live is only given to you if you work.  It is nothing but a system of slavery.

Money has replaced force as the enforcer of our slavery.  It doesn't take whips or beatings like in the old days.  Instead, it's all about the money.  Whereas self-preservation once motivated us, now preservation of our comfort level does it.

As long as we are willing to play their game, we are slaves.  As long as we will do almost anything for their money, we are slaves.  As long as we believe that the Matrix all around us is real, we are slaves.  If you want to be free, stop playing the game, don't take the money, and most of all, don't believe the Matrix is real.

Memorial Day

When will you and I have a Memorial Day when our memories actually start working?

On Memorial Day, you should remember how you have been deceived and manipulated since the day you were born.  The media and the educational system had already filled your parents' brains with propaganda before you were born, which they passed on to you, just as your grandparents did to your parents.  The media and the educational system then went to work on you, reinforcing all the mind control already established in your brain.

You should remember all the wars that were started to benefit the ruling elite, sacrificing the lives of neighbors, friends, and family to advance their selfish agenda.  You should remember that President Wilson helped turned our monetary system over to the privatized, for-profit Federal Reserve, created by the ruling elite for the purpose of robbing us blind.  Wilson then helped turn the isolationist sentiment in the United States upside down to get us into The Great War, "the war to end all wars", just as his handlers had ordered.  Only twenty years after the horror of The Great War ended, the horror of World War II began.  President Roosevelt, also taking orders from the true rulers of the world, did everything he could to goad Japan into attacking the United States.  And when our military intelligence services reported to Roosevelt when and where the attack would occur, Roosevelt kept it quiet, never warning American forces in Pearl Harbor, satisfied that he had accomplished his assignment which resulted in what he called "a date which will live in infamy".  For a job well done, his profile is on the American dime.

You should remember that all the Presidents of the United States for at least the last 100 years have been the obedient puppets of the true rulers of the world.  Those true rulers are never elected, never identified, and never publicly acknowledged.  You should remember that the true rulers of the world are organized sociopaths, literally mentally deviant but brilliant criminals, who are not at all like you.  They lack empathy, so they simply don't care much about the damage they do to other humans or even other living things.  They are literally deceptive and manipulative game-players intent on benefiting themselves, even to the extreme point of enslaving the masses.  And they do it through the use of money and mind control.

"That an increase of the quantity of money raises prices and a diminution lowers them, is the most elementary proposition in the theory of currency, and without it we should have no key to any of the others.  The few who can understand the system (check money and credits) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."  -- From a letter written by the Rothschild Bros, of London, England, to a New York firm of bankers, June 26, 1863

"My agency in promoting the passage of the National Bank Act was the greatest financial mistake of my life. It has built up a monopoly which affects every interest in the country. It should be repealed; but before that can be accomplished, the people will be arrayed on one side and the banks on the other, in a contest such as we have never seen before in this country." -- Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, 1861-64

"While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression, which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery." -- Horace Greeley on the National Banking Act, 1872

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." -- President James A. Garfield (assassinated 1881)

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men ...  We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men."  -- President Woodrow Wilson, 1916

"Under the Federal Reserve Act panics are scientifically created; the present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figure a mathematical problem." -- Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., writing of the panic of 1920

Should we be proud of our country when it is controlled by sociopathic criminals who don't care about us or our principles?  Should we sacrifice our time, our money, or our lives in service to these scheming monsters?  Should we glorify others who have done exactly that and paid the ultimate price?  Should we allow this travesty to continue until we are so thoroughly deceived that we end up creating a special day to celebrate our own enslavement?

Or have we already done all that?
