What I meant by the social conditioning is that, generally, from the birth - 20, we are in some sort of learning environment. pre-k, kindergarten,
elementary school, middle school, high school - and if we so desire, college. Obviously the conditioning continues from there from advertisements,
social interactions, etc.
Totally agree that people need to stop being controlled by fear. True power is not something many people have. When we give in to something, we are
letting that very thing control us - the difference between doing something because we want to, or because we have to. Excellent book that I read
about this subject is "The Spiritual Practices of the Ninja - Ross Heaven".
While I do agree that we need to stop being afraid, what can we really do though? For me, if I wanted to live off the grid, unattached to the system I
would have to find somewhere else to go, provide food, water, and shelter, and fulfill some purpose. What good is being free in the open if you cant
really do anything? At that point I might as well become a monk or something. If I want my own piece of land, I need money. To get money I need to
work, and usually, I'll need to get a loan, which means debt to pay off. Already I'm bound to the system for X amount of time, to earn my freedom.
But once I have my land, I need shelter - a house. Then I need either a source of income or the means to grow my own food, provide my own water, and
if necessary, my own power - not to mention sewage/drainage. By comparison, living in the system, I had a source of income which provided food, water,
shelter, entertainment, and other opportunities - at the cost of my true freedom. Even if I start my own business, I still have to pay a debt to the
government.
Ok then, so change the government? You can try, but you'll never succeed. The more people live under control, the more control the government is able
to get. But if you leave the system provided by the government, the less you have to work with, but you gain your freedom. But by the time you try to
change the government, theirs already too many barriers to get through that it seems endless and hopeless. So you find yourself right back at the
choice you had all along - freedom or convenience. Everyone knows what need to happen to change the system - its repeated in history time and time
again - the difference is the system created those wars/revolutions to reshape and remold there system, and consolidate there power into fewer and
fewer hands. The problem today is leadership and organization. At this point in time it would be impossible to organize against. The guerrilla
fighter/freedom fighter and the modern infantryman are very far apart in terms of technology. You can only fight each other in certain ways. For the
freedom/guerrilla fighter this means small, low intense conflicts, as opposed to high intensity, massed attacks. The transition from WWII to Vietnam
and to the two gulf wars, showed a drastic change in military tactics from attrition based warfare (massed infantry assault) to unconventional warfare
(shoot and run tactics).
Everyone in America would literally need to not work for at least 6 months, for TPTB to get scared. They depend on us. Sure, we depend on them, but we
can store what we're dependent on - they cant store us (ie, we can stock up on food, water, etc for 6 months, but its not like they can just come up
with people to replace us, they NEED us).
What are they going to do? Fire us all? Arrest us all? The only down side is that is a bluff move. If they call the bluff, we have nothing, (unless we
sanction off areas of land for ourselves to rebuild a new system) and they can use the opportunity to set up an even stricter system were being a
slave, as much as it sucks, is better then starving to death.
Very well engineered, I have to say. Downright evil though. Many people are against it, but it seems no one is willing to step up. JFK and MLK paid
there prices for trying :/
