“The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you
off.” –Gloria Steinem
Are you tired of floating around in that pink goop of the
Matrix? Are you ready to slough off the illusion like it was an old hat? Has
the White Rabbit been too fast for you so far? If you are reading this article,
you are here to wake up. Here are five ways to slow that white rabbit down so
you can catch up.
1)
Money is a hoax
“The Western worldview says, in essence, that technological
progress is the highest value and that we were born to consume, to endlessly
use and discard natural recourses, other species, gadgets, toys, and often,
each other. The most highly prized freedom is the right to shop. It’s a world
of commodities, not entities, and economic expansion is the primary measure of
progress.
Competition, taking, and hoarding are higher values than cooperation,
sharing, and gifting. Profits are valued over people, money over meaning,
entitlement over justice, “us” over “them.” This is the most dangerous
addiction in the world, not only because of its impact on humanity but because
it is rapidly undermining the natural systems that sustain the biosphere.”
2) Debt
is fiction
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is
by the sword. The other is by debt.” –John Adams
Unfortunately our nation has been enslaved by debt. Our
current system is not an economic system at all, but an ecocidal system; an
intrinsic obsolescence of conspicuous consumption. It’s a grave misfortune that
efficiency, sustainability, and preservation are the enemies of our
socioeconomic system. This has got to be the most bizarre delusion in the
history of human thought, a retarded Ponzi scheme en masse.
3)
Media is manipulation
“Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of
the U.S. media.” –Noam Chomsky
Media has always been an effective method for manipulating
people. We are social creatures who are also psychological creatures. This
combination makes us unwittingly vulnerable to the power of suggestion. As it
stands, media has been our Achilles Heel. These days the “news” we receive from
corporate media is more likely to be disinformation.
4)
Government is a corporation
“The end of democracy and the defeat of the American
Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending
institutions and moneyed incorporations.” –Thomas Jefferson
