“Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.”
~ George Carlin
Is this country facing the end of times? Are the people in
this country oblivious to any reality or truth, or are they simply consumed by
ignorance, passivity, cowardice, and mediocrity? Will this onslaught of tyranny
by the controlling class and the politicians continue unabated, or will enough
wake up in time to stand against the total decimation of their lives, their
property, their freedom, and their land? What could possibly motivate the
masses to voluntarily accept their own servitude, a servitude that can only
lead to their imminent demise? Even the most simplistic life forms on
this planet possess the basic instinct of self defense, so why is it that the
supposed most intelligent of all living beings can be controlled and brutalized
to the point of extinction, without lifting a finger to protect their own
interests? Today in America, the people are drowning in a pool of their own
blood, while their chosen masters are feasting on the remains.
There is very little time left to change this course we are on
today, as this plot toward the great reset of the world is close at hand. In
the past when liberty has been threatened, some fought back and won, but most
sat back and waited, hoping others would come to their rescue, and save them
from themselves. Every time threats have come and gone, there was less freedom
and much more control. Each and every tyrannical event brought an assault
against liberty that remained long after any so-called ‘return to normal’ was
expected. ‘Normal’ has been forever changing, meaning every new normal resulted
in less freedom and more authoritarian measures. That is until today, as now we
face an end to any freedom, and a life of submission and enslavement. Unless
and until the current ruling oligarchy is eliminated or weakened to the point
of impotence, and by whatever means necessary, the tyranny will run its course
until it has total control or the entire system collapses under its own weight.
Throughout history, kingdoms, states, and nations have come and
gone. Empires reign, but always eventually fall. After societal failure,
a better system may be in place temporarily, as happened here in this country
after the ousting of British rule, but due to power, greed, and weak and
complacent populations, the collapse of societies has always been inevitable.
This one is no different. The real question is how long will it last?
Considering the ‘assumed’ founding, this nation has only existed for a little
over 240 years. Historically speaking, this is a very short time indeed, but
the march toward a totalitarian end is near. We are now on the brink of that
precipice, with one foot already dangling over the cliff. There will be no
return to ‘normal’ or any notion of freedom, unless a complete dismantling of
this very flawed governing system is forthcoming. That can only happen if a
majority of the people not only desire it, but also are willing to take any and
all risk to regain their own independence.
At this stage, our
probable downfall will not be due to the few evil oligarchs that are
perpetrating this fraud called a ‘virus pandemic,’ it will be due to a complete
abandonment of self-responsibility by the people themselves. This truth has to
be acknowledged before any relief is possible. So long as blame is spread wide
in order to appease the feeble psyche of the pitiful masses, and no
accountability for one’s own life and existence is accepted, then no resolution
will be attainable. We now live in a society that has lost its ability to function
without rule. The herd is forever looking to find a master instead of looking
to self. So long as this attitude is present in the majority, individual sovereignty
will not prevail, and a population of order-takers and rule-followers will be
the result. That cannot lead to freedom, but only to complete subjugation of
the American people. Five hundred years ago, Étienne de La Boétie wrote “The Politics of Obedience and The Discourse of Voluntary
Servitude.” The people of this country have voluntarily given
up their freedom, and in the process have become obedient serfs. In this
passage below, he summed up the essence of voluntary slavery through obedient
behavior.
“It amazes us to hear accounts
of the valor that liberty arouses in the hearts of those who defend it; but who
could believe reports of what goes on every day among the inhabitants of some
countries, who could really believe that one man alone may mistreat a
hundred thousand and deprive them of their liberty? Who would credit such a
report if he merely heard it, without being present to witness the event? And
if this condition occurred only in distant lands and were reported to us, which
one among us would not assume the tale to be imagined or invented, and not
really true? Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single
tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its
own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to
give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do
anything for itself provided it does nothing against itself. It is therefore
the inhabitants themselves who permit, or, rather, bring about, their own
subjection, since by ceasing to submit they would put an end to their
servitude.”
How many times have Americans criticized those in other lands
for allowing tyrants to rule over them without rising up to protect their own
liberty? How many times have those in this country condemned totalitarian
monsters across the world, and called for them to be removed or killed? How
many times have Americans cheered for aggressive war against other nations
because they lived under brutal regimes? How many times have Americans bragged
about being exceptional, and falsely declared that they are freest people on
earth? How many times has this American population allowed that same tyranny
and brutality here at home and done nothing?
I can tell you, most all in this country are voluntarily
allowing this takeover today, and are doing absolutely nothing to stop it.
Civil disobedience and mass dissent would be enough to quell this onslaught of
government lies, carnage, murder, and liberty destruction, but while you
condemn others, you sit idle and watch your own freedom taken away without ever
lifting a finger to stop it. Shame on all of you who refuse to disobey, and
refuse to defend your own freedom!
