Where have all the blogposts gone?

 
The frequency of my blogs here has visibly fallen off, so you might think I am no longer writing, but I actually am still at it.  Most of my writing is now on the United People discussion forum I started a few years back, located at united-people.tk (link).  Click on "Forum" there and you can read "more than you can shake a stick at", as people used to say in the old days when they still shook sticks.  I still document my journey of learning, which steadily grows and expands in mind-boggling directions.  So much of what we believe is wrong, and it has been deliberately designed that way by the forces of evil, which I currently believe are nothing more than a tiny minority of humans we identify as sociopaths or psychopaths.  Their deviant psychology leads them to organize through the survival mechanism of converging self-interest and pits them against the "normal" majority of humans in a deadly "survival of the fittest" scenario.  Unfortunately, it's a quiet war with secret weapons, so the vast majority of people don't even realize there is a war going on and that they are losing.

The irony of that situation is a continual source of horror and wonder to me, and it is what drives me to write.

The video, now censored for some reason, was an old Peter Paul and Mary performance of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone".

In-your-face mind control

This is a test.

Do not touch your dial.  There is nothing wrong with your set.

If you are given the following information on your evening "news" and are not outraged by the criminality and illegality of the actions you are shown, then your brainwashing is proceeding beautifully.

SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- The target was a poultry farm that ISIS had turned into a staging area. It was located in Syria but the planning for this air strike and hundreds like it was carried out some 6,000 miles away at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.

CBS News was given an inside look at the targeting center where intelligence analysts pour over satellite photos.

"In a way like a detective does, we put together the picture with all these bits of intelligence," said Staff Sergeant Penney.

In a typical week Penney and each of the other analysts investigate up to 20 different locations to find three legitimate targets.

"The ultimate intent is to build something that holds water that makes it to the end - that is strikeable," Penney told me.

It is a battle pitting the precision of American weapons against an enemy spread out across two countries.

"Precision is the ability to very specifically know the exact coordinates of any spot on the earth and to hit that spot down to let's say a foot," said Colonel Scott Murray, the chief intelligence officer for the air war.

Murray told us what it took to destroy a building ISIS was using as a weapons factory.

"It was quite the structure," said Murray. "It did take quite a few weapons to do it."

The first two hit and the building disappeared in a cloud of debris. But 18 more satellite guided bombs followed each with a delayed action fuse.

"It just allows the munition to penetrate deeper," said Murray.

The air campaign is an impressive display of American firepower, but is it winning the war against ISIS? Murray says the bombings have helped regain "approximately 700 square kilometers."

That's all in Iraq where ISIS still holds 55,000 square kilometers it seized from Iraqi and Kurdish forces. In Syria ISIS is still expanding.

"ISIL has great leeway in northeast Syria," explained Murray. "They're not opposed on the ground in that region."

In March, the U.S. military plans to start training a force of about 5,000 fighters to oppose ISIS on the ground in Syria. But Pentagon officials say it will be late this year or early next before they are capable of taking back lost ground. -- source

The United States has never declared war on Syria, nor does it have any reason to do so.  We do not have the right to destroy their buildings or their chicken farms by blowing them to smithereens from an easy chair in South Carolina.  If the Syrians were doing this kind of thing to us, would we find it perfectly acceptable?  The in-your-face criminality and immorality of this behavior is obvious, so why would they rub our noses in it on the evening news?

Just checking to make sure we are anesthetized, mindless zombies.

Note that I don't watch TV, for I find it absurd to volunteer to be brainwashed.  A friend turned on the news to check on the hyped-up east coast snowstorm, happened to see the report, and told me about it.  I was so amazed that I immediately looked it up online.

If they can get away with this, they've got us.

Relax

 
My father was a sociopath.  Like most sociopaths, originally known as "the morally insane", my father didn't really understand the difference between right and wrong.  He only knew how normal people reacted to right and wrong, so he was careful to deceive and manipulate to get what he wanted without provoking undesirable reactions from his victims.

In an unpleasant surprise, following my father's recent death, it became clear that my brother really doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong either.  His notion of fairness is so lop-sided that it falls squarely in the camp of selfishness, the same camp that was my father's base of operations.

My reaction to all this has not been well received in the family.  I have been advised to sit back and "let it be."  "Don't rock the boat."  "Relax."  "Enjoy life."  Yes, relax in the face of injustice.

I got that message again for Christmas when my sister sent me the sign pictured above.

Don't get me wrong -- I like this gift because it emphasizes the unbalanced approach of the sociopath, which has permeated my family.  Sociopaths want nothing more than for their victims to relax into the abuse and accept it quietly.  They don't want any resistance.  They don't want you to react; they want you to relax.

There are indeed times when it is appropriate to relax.  And there are times when it is appropriate to react.  The balance lies in knowing the difference.

We see the same dynamic in the world around us.  The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 when our sociopathic leaders lied to us about "weapons of mass destruction".  To this day we are still relaxing rather than holding the liars accountable for war crimes.  We are also far too relaxed about 9/11 truth, Fukushima radiation, Guantanamo Bay and other government torture facilities, unconstitutional NSA spying, judicial corruption, Congressional criminality, and presidential con-artistry.  We are so relaxed that we have become sheep good for nothing but fleecing.

So relax.  Be a good sheep.  Stand still for your fleecing.

Just excuse me if I don't join you.
 

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?
