Inverted Totalitarianism

I found an excellent review for what appears to be an intriguing book on the decline of America. I've been speaking on these, and related topics for quite some time now. I think that it is becoming increasingly obvious that America is sick, and getting sicker with each passing day. There doesn't appear to be any will or desire inside the people of America to fight this. They have been lied to, controlled, conditioned, and mentally, spiritually, and physically threatened and attacked by their 'leaders'. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this on an intellectual level. They are the victims of intense mind control techniques, but vehemently deny it. But the proof is in the results.

America has been financially hollowed out. Manufacturing and other means of production, which constitute the foundation of a healthy economy, is decidedly absent. It has been wholly exported to 'Third World' countries where labor is much cheaper. So what we have now is a spoiled population that has been accustomed to a high standard of living that is no longer sustainable, economically speaking. In short, we have all of the finer tastes and desires for filet mignon, but only have the financial ability to pay for Spam (the cheap, substandard meat, not UCE).

The Powers-That-Be have engineered this situation. While the average American has been watching American Idol and listening to Britany Spears on his or her Ipod, the PTB has been employing the highest credentialed experts in psychology, advertising, conditioning, persuasion, marketing, etc., to maximize the mind control effect on everyone who watches TV (which is probably over 90% of people). This is why there is no outcry over the dastardly things that are being done to destroy America. These people have been careful not to make any perceived sudden moves that would cause such a discontinuity in the status quo that it would jarringly wake up the American Sheeple. Slow and steady towards the destination (the destruction of the middle class, destruction of trade unions, eradication of true education, assimilation of individuality, demoralization of the populace, impoverishment of many, the culling of the herd, etc.) wins the race. The race goes not to the swift, but to the persistent and diligent. There are very few persistent, diligent, independent thinking Americans left after 50+ years of acculturation by mass media.

This sounds incredulous to most, but this attitude is merely a symptom of high levels of conditioning. They say that when Columbus arrived at the shores of the Americas, the natives couldn't see the ships that were on the sea on the horizon because it didn't fit into their belief structure. In like manner, most people thought that the 'conspiracy theorists' were crazy when they were not in agreement about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars which have subsequently been proven to have been justified based on outright lies. We could go on and on with numerous examples of this. The point is that everybody knows that politicians lie, but yet the People continue to strongly desire to believe them! This is a textbook case study of chronic cognitive dissonance. It takes no Ph.D. in psychology to understand this, but just an ability to think for self without being spoonfed 'your' opinion by some highly paid media toadie.

With the erosion of the economy looming in the future, Americans will not have to believe what I, and others like me say. They will be living with the results of choosing chronic apathy over concern, ignorance over careful study, entertainment over substance, attacking and villifying "conspiracy theorists" instead of adroitly questioning 'authorities', 'going-along-to-get-along' over standing up against the alleged majority on principle, voting Demopublican over refusing to vote for obviously corrupted candidates, watching television over reading books with real content. I can guarantee you that the fruits of such choices will not be pleasant.

I hope that in some way, a significant number of people will be inspired to work to put an end to this pathetic state of affairs in America. I realize that there are a lot of people in America who do not agree with the cabal that has hijacked the country. Let us hope, for the sake of ourselves, our children, and the rest of the world that we succeed in putting an end to this scourge of humanity that calls itself the leadership of America.
