"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

1. Troops Out Of Iraq Immediately. Like By Monday. 2. Money Owed To Haliburton and War Contractors Be Given Directly To The Iraqi People 3. Complete Electoral Reform 4. No Corporate Conglomerate Will Be Allowed To Control More Than 5% Of News Market 5. Federal Reserve Abolished 6. For-Profit Prison Industry Abolished
*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

Can I get an alternative? This is great at saying what is wrong with society, but offers no solution.
Wake up and do what? Acknowledging the problem is not solving it.
Just because you don't see a solution, what makes you think there is none there?
I didn't say there isn't one. Just saying that this video exposes the obvious wrongs with most political structures. However, it does not say what people can/should do to counteract that.
I am of the belief that no matter what happens there will always be a power structure in place because some people are made to lead and most are made to follow. Even if we had an E.L.E. and started society fresh, all it would take is one power-hungry, yet persuasive individual to take control of a mass of others.
The greatest flaw with people is that people are flawed.
I see a solution:
The only cages that can contain people are the cages they cannot see.
This video shows you the cage.
That's 90% of the solution.
Take it from there.
That's the first step of many toward correcting a problem that has existed since the beginning of civilization. Humankinds innate nature to dominate.
I'm with you on seeing the cage, and applaud that you expose it. I believe that's the issue with a good portion of society. However, humans can never maintain a political or social stasis for a period of time because we are too flawed to except it.
"A person is smart, people are stupid."
I have submitted may of Stefbot's stuff before. He has an affinity for 1984 the book and the movie. (the clips and the end were the from 1984.)
If you get the esoteric and the metaphysical meaning of 1984 then you will also know the major theme of the book was Room 101 (you, your mind, and its ego as the true cause of your enslavement.)
For those of you who really want the solution, read the following and know that you will not like the solution and will not like the pain in the exposure of our dirty little truth.
Namaste-
"' The antithesis of the love of life is not hatred but indifference, anomie, blank-faced apathy, the lifeless pursuit of death. And that, I say, is a public response to a very private fear, the fear kept locked away in Room 101--the fear of life, of risk, of failure.
And the opposite of one's greatest fear, I think, is one's deepest desire.
This really happened: an outrageous evil was done to a very bright child.
The child asked later, in essence, "How can you explain this incomprehensible act?" And the answer was: "Sometimes we do what we fear."
This is a form of the argument that we become what we despise, a piece of psychopatois of the Marxo-Hegelian variety.
I hate the statement and I hate the argument and I hate the depths of self-destruction that must be plumbed to arrive at such a horrid opinion of one's own soul, and, truly, I cringe in revulsion whenever I think about any of this.
But I must think about it. I won't cower in Room 101 and hide from life. The deed was done and the words were said, and the challenge for the mind is to discover why.
Here's a dirty little secret: we like to think in terms of "us" and "them", but in reality there isn't any "them". We want "them" to be distinct from "us" in every way we can imagine, but the truth is that they are just like us, right down to the last tooth and toenail.
I am what you are and you are what I am, and if we draw any distinctions, they are meaningless if they originate in nature and arbitrary if they originate in volition. When we speak so lovingly of "us", we aggrandize ourselves by excoriating "them". We are celebrating not so much our virtues as their vices, in which they are gracious enough to persist.
And here's another dirty little secret: I have a fair idea what goes on inside your mind.
Scary, isn't it? We know that the ego can never be invaded, can never be groped at and pawed by the hands of strangers. Our elemental privacy is our secret solace: we risk only what we make manifest in our words and our deeds.
That which we leave unspoken, undone, unventured, unexposed--the treasure we keep locked away in the jewelry box of the mind--is forevermore safe.
And yet nothing is hidden, really, for you are no different from me. I know in a general sort of way what's in your mind because I know what's in mine. And I know that not everything locked away up there is a treasure...
"I resonate in the quiet recesses of your mind, And Yet I Am Sound, a thing made undeniably real in your spirit...
I am not asking you to bare yourself, I am stripping you unasked.
For the question arose later, "If they do what they fear, then why don't they just kill themselves? Don't they fear death the most?"
And the answer is very unsettling:
Worse than death they fear exposure."

Man is the only animal capable of comprehending what his life requires, and he is the only animal capable of failing to do what his life requires.
Not fundamentally, of course, since we would perish at once if we refused to act for survival. But we scamper out a secret little soft-shoe in the the quiet of the mind: we can escape the necessity of pursuing our deepest desire, we can file the serial numbers off mere self-esteem and pretend to the world that our behavior expresses the love of life. But there is someone who knows the truth, isn't there? Even in solitude, there is a witness to every human action, a witness who is unimpeachable: oneself. Lying to others is something we do to pretend to ourselves that we are justified in lying to ourselves.
And recall, the answer was: "Worse than death they fear exposure".
