Excerpts from an interesting newsletter I just read: quote: Among the many reasons that our current condition is so vexing is that the ongoing cultural, political, and spiritual hypnosis is not 100% effective on most people. Despite the apparent success of mass mindcontrol, nearly everyone recognizes that something is seriously amiss. Like morphine, mass hypnosis does not actually neutralize the pain of our collective illness, but merely banishes it to a slight remove, so that we are still somewhat aware of the discomfort, though not writhing in agony. We are only partially sedated.In the larger view, however, the slavery from which we need to be disenthralled is not about others, but ourselves. Whatever our jobs, at least half of us in America now qualify as third-worlders. We may not look like it yet, but the bulk of Americans are no longer among the privileged. This is a different kind of enslavement, one that does not require iron chains, except, of course, for government’s secret imprisonment and now “legalized” torture of anyone they regard as terrorist suspects, including American citizens. As horrified as I am that—after 800 years of fundamental human rights enshrined in the Magna Carta—the elites who rule have finally succeeded in gutting the Constitution by tossing into the garbage can the legal protections of habeus corpus, I am less concerned with that particular totalitarian outrage than I am with our more subtle and pervasive loss of freedom through the seductions of mass mind control. Those velvet chains are seemingly invisible, but stronger than iron, since the enslaved don’t realize their bondage.
