Necessary Illusions
“All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.” – Noam Chomsky
It amazes me how little we care to know about what’s really going on around us…
There are more than 65 million people living in farmville – a make-believe game on facebook where pink cows give strawberry milk and where, on any given day, about 27 million people are busy growing make-believe crops and raising make-believe alien animals…ask any one of the farmville residents how many nails are needed to finish the barn for their zebra-striped horse and they’ll have the exact number at the tip of the tongue…but ask someone if they know anything about the deluge of bailouts, rescues, and stimulus packages being approved by their politicians, and you’re guaranteed to either get blank stares or a nonchalant response like the one I got: “…yeah, this is all because of the stupid people who bought houses they couldn’t really afford and as a result bankrupted the world…so, we had to bail them out…” – really??…well, I guess if you believe that pink cows give strawberry milk, then this view of current affairs isn’t so far fetched…
So how does this happen? How is it possible that the masses are so conveniently kept in the dark about so many things happening around them??
If you spend just a little less time feeding alien cows on farmville and just a bit more time in the real world, you might just stumble upon the life and work of Ivan Pavlov – and especially his extensive research on what is known today as TMI – or transmarginal inhibition…and will quickly understand how it is possible for an elite few – who, by the way, don’t graze around on farmville at all and choose instead to control the ‘real’ food producing land on this planet – to create a state of confusion and of constant fear to effectively render the masses passive, apathetic, and submissive…
…and this is but one observation…there’s a lot more than just simple transmarginal inhibition at play here – but this is a good start…
I won’t dwell on Pavlov’s work on transmarginal inhibition or on the fear-mongering, bigotry, hatred, prejudice, and confusion perpetrated by those elite few in positions of authority and power – political, religious, and otherwise…but will recommend that you do your research if you care about your existence on this planet…
Essentially, with a focus towards dividing and conquering; the masses are bombarded with conflicting information, misinformation, and disinformation – effectively rendering the critical mass impotent and confused…
Why?
Simple: …POWER!…power for it’s own sake…
What?
Exactly! In order for one to really comprehend the concept of ‘power for its own sake’, one needs to adopt the psycopathic mindset of this pathological system that will never be able to accumulate enough power to satisfy itself…again, I won’t dwell on this and will recommend you spend a bit more time researching how we’ve engineered our societies over the years – look at the birth and spread of dogma – dig into the history of contemporary politics and economics – and find out what concepts like ‘globalization’ really mean…if you care, that is…
Contemporary global institutions – governments, corporations, organized religion, institutions of learning – all reflect the pathology of the psychopath…if you dig a little deeper, you’ll quickly realize how everything we’ve been conditioned into believing and accepting as the framework of our world, belief system, existence, and (gasp!) hereafter; is but a necessary illusion – a necessary illusion engineered to sustain the foundation from which the psychopath can exercise maximum control…and believe me, you won’t have to dig too deep to start seeing things that weren’t there when all you did was scratch the surface…start digging for the truth – if you care, that is…
The pathological system requires the critical mass to take a particular path that is to the advantage of the psychopath in control – this is always the case – therefore: the economic meltdown – and the subsequent public money payouts to private enterprise coffers, the fear we have of each other – and the accompanying hatred we have towards each other, the unnecessary wars, tension, chaos, exaggerated claims of epidemics forcing mass inoculations etc. – didn’t all happen by mere chance – and those who contribute to it (and participate in it) day to day, for the most part, have no clue of what they are doing…the pathological system takes advantage of basic human weaknesses like greed and avarice while the psychopath carefully manoeuvres the ignorant…look closely and you’ll see links – very strong links between what seem to be disparate events and elements…and if you dig deep enough, you’ll see clearly what this path is that the psychopath wants the critical mass to take…do your research – if you dare, that is…
So, what can I do about it?
Well, for those mass-protesting, using violence, and employing aggressive action against the status quo; I would recommend they step back and re-think the whole thing – this is exactly the reaction the pathological system seeks from the masses to give it the justification it needs to impose martial law and civil repression - critical to the success of the next phase of its masterplan of control…violence and aggression will only bring about more violence and aggression…
For the rest of us: get educated on what’s really going on around…spend less time fertilizing make believe crops and more time engaged in the real world…remember that the pathological system depends on the psychopath to remain completely anonymous and out of sight of the masses - exposing the psychopath effectively crushes the agenda – because the agenda is baseless and depends simply on the blind compliance of the ignorant…if we choose to not be ignorant, then the tail can no longer wag the dog…
“Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s a really easy way: stop participating in it.” – Noam Chomsky
Think about this for a bit…
Start caring…if you dare, that is…

Excellent! However, I also think that it’s not just impotence and confusion – I think that for a large sector of those in western countries, they are conscious of their priviledged economic status in the world and that their government is protecting that (irrespective of their own internal class status – ie even the poorest have refrigerators). (these days, even the poorest have a cell phone, eh?)
Summed up in a trilogy – “The Matrix”.
