: What do

they

want?

They

want you to know exactly what

they

think you should know.

They

tell you what

they

want to get you to buy more crap that you don't need, who you should be like and who not to trust.

They

want you to know only enough to be a good little consumer and

they

definitely don't want you to think for yourself.

They

want you to hear and watch ten thousand channels of crystal clear HD crap streaming right to your brain.

They

want you to know that, when in doubt, watch more crap and buy more crap because it will

make you happy

: Who do

they

work for? Who

they

work for is the same people that provide to you a cons tant stream of '

advertising

'. The companies a nd corporations tha t want you to buy mor e crap. Buying mor e crap makes

them

happy, because buying more crap makes

them

money. And the more of your money

they

have, the better

they

are than you. Now, this may not be true in the real sense of things. As far as you know though, or as fa r as you've been told by

them

, it does and

they

are. So if y ou want to be better too, you better get back to work. W ork harder. W ork longer and make more money. How else are you going to buy more of

their

crap and make y ourself better? That's the second step right there. Limiting and influencing the inform ation of what you choose is the second step in the

illusion

of choice. There is a saying that goes: The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist. I don't reference th is saying for religious pur poses, I use it merely a s a comparison. There is another quote along those same lines, not religious, but in a similar vein. "

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free

." - Goethe By telling you that you have two (sometimes more), and only those two choices, they limit your choices and thus gain a measure of co ntrol. Though you say , "I get to choose! I can make my own choice!". Really? What choice do y ou really have when you hav e so few to ch oose from? By telling you what they want you to know, and

only

what they want you to know about those

limited choices

, they limit your knowledge and power , thus gaining another measure of control. Though you may say as wel l, "I'm no one's fool! I can think for myself and make my own decisions! ". So you say . What choice do you have though when the only information you have to base your so-called choices on is what they tel l you? Still feel you are free? Still think you have liber ty? What freedom and liberty do you have when you go march in the streets to let your voice be heard and

they

send

their

'Police Force' with their military uniform s to use their caustic sprays that burn your eyes and your throat so you can't see or speak? With thei r bludgeons and riot shields "

To Protect and Serve

" you with. What then, when they beat you and bind your hands and feet and take you away to their prisons, all in the name of "

keeping the peace

"? Peace for whom? Certainly not for you. For

Them

, that's who. For as long as you buy their crap and watch and do what

they

tell you to. As soon as you step out of line and say ,

"Enough!"

,

they

will deal with you just like

they

deal with all those other people. Those other people who are brown or yellow, who speak different languages or have different religions and gods, who dress differently and think dif ferently and have differen t cultures. Those people that didn't want to buy

their

crap. Those people t hat didn't acce pt

their

culture or religion or pol itics. Mostly it's t hose people that didn't want to give

them

their native treas ures of land and resources. Those people that

they

told you was the "enemy", that

they

told you to hate. As you are being dragged of f to

their

prison, you probably feel about as free and liberated as those people when

they

started droppin g bombs on their houses. When

they

sold guns and tanks and other weapons to the people that

they

told them to hate, so they could kill each other. Or when

they

sent in the Military to occupy the lands of those people, followed shortly after by the Corporations and B anks and Governme nt contractors. Is that freedo m and liberty ? Freedom and choi ce certainly do go hand in hand, but not like this. Freedom cannot be given to y ou. Freedom cannot be take n from you. Y ou are born free, and you will die free; unless you give freedom away . "

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety

." - Benjamin Franklin Once you have traded your rights or even one right or even part of a right away for some measure of safety that

they

tell you is for your own good to keep you safe from those which

they

say is your enemy, you have given away freedom.
