"The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.": Georges Bernanos

"People who advocate freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are people who want crops without plowing the ground.  They want rain without the awful roar of the thunder and lightning.  Without struggle, there is no progress.  This struggle might be a moral one. It might be a physical one. It might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.  Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.  People may not get all that they pay for in this world, but they certainly pay for all that they get."

Frederick Douglas (1817-1896)       

Everyone should be aware – or least should be that those in power cling very tightly to that power. They take any and all steps necessary to maintain the status quo. They divide opinions, they lie and cheat, they create false dramas, they wage war, the rig votes and voting machines, and they all work in unison whilst pretending to hate each other.

But to keep control of millions of people and maintain the propaganda and illusion of democracy can’t be completely successful.

So they create ‘secrets’ and then leak them. Regardless of the horror and torture conducted in prison camps that they would wish to remain secret, they occasionally leak such news into the mainstream as the perfect form of mass control. Nothing shuts people down faster than the fear of SWAT teams smashing down doors and taking THEM to the torture camps. So they cease to speak. They cease to care for anyone but themselves.

And that is only one way the game is played. The masses have been successfully trained into not drawing attention to themselves.

 And if a society is trained into holding on tightly to materialism and greed, then they fear nothing worse than losing it. And whilst horrors are inflicted onto others and not to them, then everything is peachy in their world.

Yet more and more people are seeing the game being dealt to them daily.

If only they would see that if people united and let their thoughts be known, then the world would change very rapidly into what it should be.

There is not that much difference between views and courage to speak would make huge differences. But ridicule, or the fear of ridicule is very strong.
