Forkbender- I think that if we were discussing interpersonal relationships, then obviously the answer to your question is 'the liar'.
In the context of our discussion here, it's a convoluted game of blame.
Obviously, you can't go too far in your persecution of these blind sheep. The heartiest condemnation I, personally can come up with is that the masses are intellectually lazy, which is the REAL problem.
And it is THIS fact that allows all the things to go on that do go on.
When you are born into a prison that you do not even realize exists, then it becomes rather difficult to concieve of an escape.
To concieve of this prison, there must first exist that grain of doubt in the validity of the premises we are educated and conditioned under,
else it cannot be sensed, AT ALL.
This also explains why some people can do psychedelics repeatedly, and never get a damn thing from them except a cool ride, because these individuals are too sure that what they see every day is all there is, and all there can be, and all there SHOULD be.
It takes a lot to get throught hese hardheads, and what I have found is that individuals such as this haven't been beaten up by life yet enough for that grain of doubt to exist inside them. This is why a lot of people do not begin thinking along psychonautic lines when they are young.
When these people are insulated by wealth and those trappings, an insular layer is formed around all their reality, and NOTHING that allows that insular reality to stand will ever penetrate their mentalities.
We MUST exorcise the demons of inequality from interpersonal relationships to change the world, pure and simple.
You'll never do that as long as you have Western- ized Institutions
propagating the church of Greed, and me-first, and these institutions are composed of PEOPLE whose ideas are insulated and armored from attack by tradition, and reinforced by each other.
I have been, and am, thinking a LOT these days about what I, spice ,can REALLY DO, besides talk a lot and exhort people to consider new perspectives, and I hit upon a certain train of thinking;
What IS their power over us all REALLY based on?
Energy. Pure and Simple, energy.
Whether it's gas, oil, electricity, the energy infrastructure is the REAL
MATRIX, supported by a financial matrix. supported by a political matrix.
Where does it come from?
Why do we allow 'proprietary thinking' by these cabals?
For instance, the 'secret' to producing electricity is really no secret at all, well not to me, anyway....spinning a fucking magnet in a coil of wire makes electricity....electric companies use natural gas to generate the initial energy that spins the generators, so se it for WHAT IT IS, a deathlock. A monopoly. A matrix.
Of course oil is where the rest of our energy comes from, but let me ask all of you something, and I want EVERY person reading this who considers him/herself a thinking being to think, really THINK about what I am about to say;
Do you all really think that we get all of our oil from the arabs, or Russians, or Mexicans, or Venezuelans?
Do you think that all petrochem products are related to crude oil out of the ground? HA! HA! HA!
It's not.
Ever hear of 'synthetic motor oil'???????????
Didi you know that we have had the raw knowledge to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline for about 70 years? The classical lit is full of options.....
I lay down the gauntlet here, and tell you that we're being lied to in ways that are really hard to fathom.....
They ( Shell, Exxon, Gulf, BP, all of them) have a much larger capacity to synthesize these fuels than you'd ever believe. The chemistry isn;t all that complex, but it still is hard to comprehend, because of the scope of this wool-pulling-over-the-eyes.
For an American, let's do a little exercise, mentally, to help understand the SCOPE of what I am talking about.
How many Wal-MArts, AutoZOnes, PepBoys, and the like exist in this country...
I have no idea, but additively, MILLIONS of these store dot the land.
Every store has shelves and shelves of synthetic oil product.
How much production capacity does it require to stock every fuckin store in the land with synthetic petroleum products...?
Do you understand?
It's all a lie.
We don't have to be over there, we don't NEED the oil, we have the capacity to synthesize it, on a large scale.
I tell you, it's a damn lie.
So, I think the key to busting their lock on us is the energy equivalent of 'cold fusion' a simple, non-proprietary method of generating energy, with no cadre of secretive white men acting as intermediaries....I am seriously thinking of devoting my thinking to this area, on a rest-of-my-life basis, no shit.
When they can't FORCE you to buy their electricity, and they cant FORCE you to buy their gas, then all you have to do is eat.....
these fuels and energies are the way they force us to participate....
I bet if you could power your vehicles and heat/light your homes for free, you'd BE a lot more free, and could go into the world WHEN YOU WANTED, not because you were compelled to, by some faceless corporation.....Truly, every mans home would then be his castle.
If you had the energy thing licked, inequality would solve itself.
Why would anyone need to steal what you have, when they can have it without stealing?
They wouldn't.
The technology exists RIGHT NOW for them to make a car that gets over 100 MPG.
Why won't they do it?
Who's gonna make them?
Is the question.
Cattle get grazed, then consumed.
