Playing the Masses

 

“Fearful people are more dependent, more easily manipulated and controlled, more susceptible to deceptively simple, strong, tough measures and hard-line postures. … They may accept and even welcome repression if it promises to relieve their insecurities.” -George Gerbner

“Nothing to Tell but a lot to Sell”:

Occasionally programs like “The Mean World Syndrome” slip under the cultivation radar, interrupting our daily feed of glorified violence-pornography.

Giving up our money, freedoms and civil-rights in return for “safety” is in everyones interest, – right? Segregation from perceived danger and each other in gated communities is the optimal token of success?

Let the security services, preferably private, military, police, prison industry, lawyers, and strong political leaders take care of the problem?

The Armed Madhouse does have a dire need for enemies, preferably those who can’t fight back, to wage its endless and profitable wars.

The Naked Emperor Dethroned?

Compared to a Cult?

Three years on and the cultural landscape with banks, parliament and public relations is back in 2007 mode, – the bankruptcy guard has reassembled.

The Guru is always right.
You are always wrong.
No Exit.
No Graduates.
Cult-speak.
Group-think, Suppression of Dissent, and Enforced Conformity in Thinking
Irrationality.
Suspension of disbelief.
Denigration of competing sects, cults, religions…
Personal attacks on critics.
Insistence that the cult is THE ONLY WAY.
etc.

The Issue Is …

 “The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government’s greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.”

— Abraham Lincoln

We are hard at work handing this power over to the European Central Bank
which is as far removed from democratic control as the rest of the criminal cartel.

The constitutional assembly has just made this transfer easier.

If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit. (Matthew 15:14)
