Fun Stuff

The world is becoming an increasingly scary place, and now even us Americans aren’t insulated from the possible horrors that those in control can inflict on us, the enslaved masses. It may be time to leave the country if things get too bad, before our complete economic collapse and the rise of a new superpower. We may have been able to avoid any wars fought on our soil since the American Revolution and Civil War, but what lies ahead may eclipse everything that came before it.

Now if you don’t know what the Verichip is, it’s basically a way to capitalize on the fears of the masses, giving them the illusion of freedom while actually imprisoning them to their own fears and desires, while some corporation laughs all the way to the bank gaining scarcely measurable wealth and power hurtling well on it’s way to world domination. If you don’t know what I mean by “illusion,” I’ll explain. This illusion of freedom is kind of like the automobile. Everyone wants to escape the drudgery of modern living, and supposedly the automobile was supposed to us that freedom. Go anywhere you want! Do anything! But the marketing departments don’t tell that this freedom comes at a cost, not only financially (gas, whose price will only go up) but also environmentally (global warming, pollution). Yes, even the smallest action has a consequence. Like it or not, people can’t do anything they want without a consequence. This law is written into the fabric of our existence. Really, a seemingly harmless act such as driving my massive SUV to the drive-thru at McDonald’s can contribute to the world actually literally ending. Fun stuff.

But the laws of existence aside…

Back to cars and freedom. If everyone has this so-called “freedom,” there won’t be any freedom at all, as there will be so many cars on the street that no one will be able to get anywhere (traffic jams). Which is why it seems so many people driving on the road seem to be so annoyed, as their so-called freedom is a lie. And now there seems to be a universal road rage going on that I didn’t notice before, perhaps because it wasn’t there before. People are feeling the pressure, and that’s making them drive faster and more recklessly than before, which is only making the problem worse. People are disillusioned that they actually have no control over their lives at all, and that their so-called freedom is tied to the price of a scarce commodity which will only continue to rise in price and contribute more and more to record profits to those who wish to enslave us.

Hence, the Verichip:

I love how the woman talks about her “freedom.”

Concerning fear and desires, the Verichip is a product that definitely plays into our fears. Fear of our children being kidnapped. Fear of terrorism. Fear, like the woman, of being accepted into a hospital without them having access to the proper medical records.

I don’t know the motives of the people developing this. Perhaps it’s, like any other business, to make a profit. Perhaps there’s a more sinister motive:

And who controls access to the information granted access by the chip? Would I even have access to the information if I wanted it? I’m not afraid of the information being available to some random hacker. I’m more afraid of my life being controlled by a company driven by motives for pure profit, or something even worse. I’m already required by law to have INSURANCE for a lot of things, either by law, or financially by necessity. Why? To protect me, for my best interest?

Well, if I’m a high risk for the insurance companies, they can deny me coverage. For instance, medical insurance companies seem to be able to deny people coverage if they’re at high risk for a certain disease. But, isn’t the whole point of insurance supposed to be to PROTECT ME? So if you probably won’t need it, then sure, we’ll give you a good price. We’ll gladly take your money. But if you actually need what we’re selling, we don’t need you. That would cut into our profits. Um…isn’t this phenomenon a little like, well, MURDER?

The world is CRAZY. There’s talk of a chip that will serve like a credit card. Banks already have so much control over our lives. They already have control over some things that we can buy and sell: houses, cars, anything that costs more that the average wage-slave can afford without years of saving. Moving into a cashless society, they’ll be able to control everything. I’ll go to 7-11 to buy a Slurpee, and suddenly I’m DENIED, leaving my well being in the hands of some corporate MONSTER.

This is the problem of money too. The very fact of its existence throws things out of balance, because it’s something everyone wants, but has no value in and of itself. It can be everything, the answer all my hopes and dreams, or, it can be toilet paper: only worth wiping after getting rid of the waste products that I don’t need. Money’s value is only symbolic. Like oil. It’s something everyone wants, the whole world wants. But really its value is only symbolic. And if I’m starving or dying of thirst, a cup of oil is not what I need. But people seem to want it, and only certain people have it, giving massive power to those people. And the masses are enslaved by their DESIRE.

A universal currency will make things worse. Not only will the people in a single country want it, but the whole world will want it. And corporations will not be monsters, but BEHEMOTHS, abominations, with unimaginable power. This is not even the big picture, because I don’t know anything. And nobody will tell me the truth. But it seems to be coming. I can see it on the horizon.

“See them try to rule the world
We don’t know why
Why they want to rule the world”

The world enslaved, by fear and desire.

FUN STUFF.
