It's really ingenious, I mean if you let yourself see it, it's horribly sad, but genius none the less. Quite literally, everything, our entire system of values, religion, society was manufactured with the sole intent of mind control.
From grade school to college we are groomed to be "worker bees" and nothing more. It's no accident that money is not taught in schools, that knowledge is too powerful. Instead they hide behind "money should be taught in the home" and that is because they know parents have less education about money than their children and since most of them struggle in debt all their lives, they will pass that same disease on to their children, and they do.
Even marriage is manufactured. Promiscuity is shunned though it is completely natural for us as humans, why? because nothing gets built, no taxes get paid, no floors get cleaned if those men are running around fucking everything that moves. So women were made to feel inferior if they chose to be more free with their amount of sexual partners.
The main goal for this to work is "Don't think, it's too hard and scary, we'll think for you" Just turn on the 400 television channels we've created for you, or put on your ipod and listen to 600 hours of music, or have an $8 coffee at starbucks. Live your life a zombie and we'll take care of all the important things for you".
Slavery didn't work because man isn't programmed to be physically enslaved by force, very short time passes before they rise up and overthrow their rulers.
How you really enslave man is by making them ask for it, and that's exactly what our rulers do, force us to ask for it by crashing planes into buildings, manufacturing mass extinction scenarios, creating fabricated economic meltdowns.
Knoweldge is and has always been the power. Children starve and go without education or health care in this country every day even though we have more food, knowledge, and medicine than could ever be needed. It's no different than why men didn't want the slaves learning to read or write, how we are too stupid to see that the same thing is going on today is beyond my comprehension.
My only hope is that someday enough people will see this and realize we can shape the world anyway we see fit. They are the few, the government could be overthrown in a matter of minutes, but people believe we need government, we're not smart enough to survive without them.
Who builds the houses?, who grows the food?, who makes the weapons and fights the wars? The slaves do, and the moment that is realized, the house of cards comes crashing down.
