This Can Get DEEP!
The Rev
How Many of us have been “Dumbed Down”, in a propagandistic conspiracy of uniformity, of acquiescence, of acceptance of the deterioration of our society, culture and individual happiness?
How many times have we been warned to accept things as they are, because they will never get any better? How many times do we accept the lies of those who race “to the bottom”, by indoctrinating us into the material and fiscal traps that enslave us to this planet? that deny us our right to independent thought. aspiration, and immortality? Who the hell are these folks, who aspire to rule over all material things in this world, while denying us our yearning to know, to learn, to grow, and to ascend?
Every message to which we have been exposed, is either a lie, a diversion using half-truths, or a loud, obnoxious, boisterous drumming put out by those who wish to control, steal, enslave, and deny. These entities are greedy, small-minded, and short-sighted (in my opinion; you may have other words for them.).
They co-opt our educational systems, rape our fiscal houses, and destroy our personal and communal security. Yet, here in the U.S., we are gullible enough to put these entities into positions of authority. What’s Wrong With This Picture?
What’s wrong is, we as a people, as a nation, as a society, have forgotten ( or dismissed!) our capacity to question that authority. (I said,”Question”; not rebel against!) If we cannot question, think for ourselves, reason by our own capacity, then we are getting what we deserve. Any who say they are not open to learning, to changing, to growing, and who are willing to settle for “whatever comes my way”, have automatically enslaved themselves to this system. Guns are irrelevant, in this case. I have trumpeted for years; “Violence Is The Last Refuge Of The Incompetent”! By that I refer to not only force of arms, but also Hate, Fear-Mongering, Divisiveness,Suppression, and Exclusion.
“Well, I am only one person; it’s useless to fight The System, because it will crush me like a grape!” This is the way of thinking that the system applauds. As an example, please consider the “Occupy” Movements throughout the world, at this writing. These are common folk who, like Brutus above, are fed up with being walked-upon. The movements are non-violent, and the common goal (whatever the issue) is to publicise issues that the Corporate Media will not bring to light. To my mind, the Corporate Media are part of the Problem, not part of the Solution.
“So what can I do/be/have, so as to change my world for the better? It seems so insurmountable!” This is a common question as well as a complaint, or even a surrender to Hopelessness. I have some suggestions. These are not to be cast in stone, as every person has her/his own method (based on ability, or capability) of helping an individual microcosm — their own: (more…)
