June 13, 2014 - Home of the brave, land of the free. That is what we are supposed to believe. What we are conditioned to believe. Consider this: A rat born in captivity doesn’t know anything else. We could label that captivity “freedom” and the rat would know no difference.
We who were born in Amerika have been told time and time again that we are free and that other countries hate us for our freedom and that we must spread that freedom throughout the world. We are taught to believe that our troops are sent to kill and die to protect us from those that hate us, and that if they didn’t, we would live in captivity, slavery, and authoritarian rule.
But what if it’s all a lie? What if the freedom that we cherish is actually a carefully constructed mask designed to fool those within and without the nation, disguising the true nature of the beast system that we live under? A system created by those who would be king? A system of slavery so complete that we, like the rat, cannot tell the difference because the cage is all we know? What if the freedom that we imagine ourselves to have is all an illusion? Poof! Gone like the wind. Out the door like yesterday’s trash.
Freedom is not freedom if it can be arbitrarily taken away by another.
Freedom is not freedom if it is based on conditions imposed by an outside authority that has the absolute power to coerce, constrain, or otherwise determine your choices or actions.
Why the subterfuge? Because it’s show time! Hey, we’ve got to have something to pump us up to fight, don’t we? After all, war is a huge money maker, not to mention that the death toll contributes to population thinning, and the fact that the best con in the world is brainwashing people so thoroughly that they line up for the battlefield, line up to get poisons pumped into their systems via the medical establishment, line up for their genetically engineered DNA disrupting food-like substances controlled by a psychopathic company endorsed by the Fascist Police States of Amerika government, and willingly give up their lives in dead-end jobs to keep the beast alive. Alive so that it can continue to suck the lifeblood out of each and every victim in it’s death grip.
We are enveloped in a system so corrupt and so complete that most of us don’t even know we are entangled in its clutches; and we call it freedom; and defend it with our lives; and pay taxes for a debt we never incurred; and bow before the god of money so that we can live to slave another day to support that system.
Amerika, the land of the free, as long as those in authority say so. Step out of line and see just how free you are from behind the bars of a 4x8 cell with Bubba as a cellmate. Or just try being a country that opposes Amerikan intervention. We have drones for that. To liberate and install freedom.
Word games, mind games, any game but the truth. It’s easier that way. Makes the people more cooperative if they really believe they are free. Biggest con job in the world; and we fell for it.
