“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself. Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable.”
– H.L Mencken
There are many excellent quotes from men and women dating back decades, and even centuries, intended to serve as warnings to then-current and all future generations, regarding the evils capable of an unchecked government. This multitude of “sayings and quotes” we throw around so willy-nilly and build nice internet slogans with seem not to be taken seriously by so many. Consider this; when you were a kid and your mom told you not to rest a plugged-in radio on the side of the bath tub, why the hell do you think she kept reminding of you that? Was she amused by the sound of her voice or was she trying to prevent that inevitable and catastrophic event before it occurred?
You’re probably pretty smart, so I’m guessing you came to understand over the years that her desire was to keep you in a pleasant state of non-death. So why are these warnings (or as Virgin Mobile would call them, a “head’s up”) from oh so long ago continuously disregarded or even mocked? I believe it is because people are like cattle. Or sheep. Or lemmings. We ARE the zombies. People are easily lead and manipulated and subsequently controlled. Mainstream media (example: CNN in America and CBC in Canada or BBC in the UK), who are simply propaganda machines for anything remotely “left wing” (I’ll touch on the left versus right thing later and explain why I said they are machines for the left – it’s an illusion. There is no left, it is only for those in support of the one world government, AKA the United Nations, AKA New World Order), to tell you what to think and believe. As a result of the directives imposed on they themselves via “the Man”, they are allowed to dictate to you what news you need to hear about and what news you just don’t need to interupt your daily bliss with, and what various other issues just aren’t that important or are otherwise “misunderstood” by us cattle class types. Like, say, your personal liberties, right to privacy and our right to own and possess firearms for instance. God forbid you learn something or understand something you weren’t supposed to. But hey, it’s really awesome that we all know what Kim Kardashian and Boner, I mean Bono, are saying and doing! Good grief.
A knowledgeable and self-thinking population of people, who are acutely aware of the actions and intentions of it’s government, are a direct threat TO that government. Governments don’t own and operate militaries, state owned/supported/paid supposedly “private” security entities and state owned police forces to protect the people it lords over from bad guys or outside threats, it uses them to maintain control OF those people and in turn protect it’s own interests, shielded behind the illusion of protecting us…..which we feel as a nice warm blanket of security, protection and patriotism.
