We are truly
in a war. It is not the war we imagine we are in, which
is the way our true adversaries want it. It is not a
foreign war against a foreign enemy. It is a war on
consciousness, a war on our own minds.
The global war on terror that is being fought around the
world is an embodied reflection in the material world of
a deeper, more fundamental war that is going on in the
realm of consciousness itself.
We
have the most criminal regime in all of our history
wreaking unspeakable horror on the entire planet,
while simultaneously waging war on the consciousness of
its own citizens - US. If we aren't aware of this, we
are unwittingly playing into, supporting and complicit
in the evil that is being perpetrated in our name.
A
government's war on the consciousness of its own
citizens is by no means unique to the Bush
administration. Abusing power over others so as to limit
their freedom is an archetypal process that has been
endlessly re-enacted by governments throughout history
in various forms. With the Bush administration, however,
the pathological aspect of this process has become so
exaggerated and amped up to such a degree that it is
just about impossible not to notice its staggering
malignancy. With the Bush administration, the underlying
evil that has played out in our government over many
years is becoming overwhelmingly obvious for all to see.
With the Bush administration, the underlying evil that
informs systems of government that are based on "power
over" instead of "liberty for" is coming out from hiding
in the shadows. Instead of being acted out underground,
our government is acting out this evil above ground, in
plain sight for all who are courageous enough to look.
Impeaching Bush and Co. ultimately won't change anything
unless we deal with the corrupt powers which control and
direct them. George Bush is just a
finger-puppet of the hidden hand which animates him.
Bush only has apparent power, as he himself is a minion
of far more powerful predator-like forces whose
nefarious interests he serves. Whether we call it the
illuminati, the global elite, a shadow government, or a
secret cabal, there is no doubt that there are darker,
self-serving forces that have insinuated themselves into
and taken over our government. The terrorists that we
should be worried about are domestic terrorists who are
actually implementing their agendas from deep within our
very system of government itself.
The United
States Government itself has become a "front" for the
underlying military-industrial-financial crime syndicate
that animates it. This is not to say that there aren't
many good, well-meaning people in our government they
are simply prohibited by the very nature of the corrupt
system they are in from reforming it. Our system of
government is rigged in such a way so that there is no
way to transform the system within the system itself.
The
underlying core of our government has become rotten
such that the entire operation simply feeds into and is
an expression of the same underlying corruption. All of
the scandals continually coming out are like the
superficial skin rash of a much deeper systemic disease,
like a cancer that is infecting the greater body
politic. Citizens who are not aware of our government's
insidious intrusions into our lives are unwittingly
feeding the corruption they are looking away from in
their very act of looking away.
The "powers"
that have taken over our government have become
concentrated and centralized in just a few elite hands,
proving how easy it is for the few to control the many.
They almost control all the levers of power: financial,
political and judicial. In this war on consciousness,
these powers-that-be are using the most advanced
mind-control technology that our world has ever known to
make its takeover complete. The essence of mind-control
is information control, which is one thing our overly
secretive current administration is very good at.
MIND-CONTROL
The
private interests that control our government have an
incredible mind-control/propaganda machine at their
disposal in the form of the mainstream media,
which if not quite fully owned and controlled, is
certainly under their "influence" enough to serve their
underlying self-serving agenda. George Orwell once said
that omission is the greatest form of lie this
perfectly describes the corporate owned media of today
which is nothing other than the propaganda organ of the
state. The corporate world and our government
are becoming indistinguishable, which is one of the
hallmarks of fascism, or more accurately
corporatism.
In addition
to information, our government is adept at putting out
dis-information, whose intention is to create
distractions and confusion so as to cover its tracks and
hide its true intentions. It will purposely
leak stories that are not true simply to cover-up what
it is really doing. By putting out misleading
information, the government hides behind its
self-generated smokescreen like an octopus squirting
ink.
Quite often,
right at the moment when people's focus is moving
towards some area of criminality in the White House, the
administration will even create a diversionary event for
the public to put their attention on. Memories of those
color-coded terror alerts that always seemed to happen
right when something bad was starting to happen for the
Bush administration come to mind. In creating
distractions, our government is able to steer our
collective attention in directions that allow it to
successfully accomplish its malevolent goal of grabbing
all the power it can get.
In a
diabolical ploy, the administration will even feed
stories to a compliant press, and then reference these
stories as justification for enacting its pre-planned
agenda. One glaring example is when the administration
fed Judith Miller of the New York Times stories about
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Once this propaganda
appeared on the front page of the Times, the
administration was only too happy to use it as evidence
for why we should go to war.
WMD could
easily stand for "Weapons of Mind Deception", as our own
government is continually trying to "Deceive"
our "Minds", which is the battlefield in which
the war on consciousness is being fought. We are all on
the front lines in the war on consciousness, whether we
know it or not. Instead of shooting us, our government
is using cutting-edge mind-control technology to
psychically emasculate us. In order to be able
to deal with the evil that the Bush regime is
perpetrating, we first have to become acquainted with
that very same potential evil in ourselves so
as to be able to recognize it in the outside world. The
way to vanquish our adversary is to be found hidden
within the very nature of our own awareness, which
contains the key to its own freedom.
The
corporate-mainstream media "captivates" our attention,
capturing a part of our self-reflective, discriminative
awareness, thereby restricting the range of our
conscious awareness, which is what hypnotism is all
about. Once the attention of the masses becomes
entranced, the corporate/government media can then "play
with" our mind. This unholy trinity of
corporate/government/media can create an obsessive
fixation on certain superficial events that "seize" the
collective psyche. For example, it feeds the
masses sensationalized stories such as Anna Nicole Smith
ad nauseam so as to divert our attention from the evil
that is being done behind the scenes in our name.
Ex-CIA
director Allen Dulles used to say that the most
effective way to disguise a secret is to pretend to
openly share information. The Bush administration isn't
interested in solving problems as much as creating good
PR (Public Relations) for itself. With one hand the Bush
administration will try to appear like it is openly
sharing information and being transparent, while with
its other hand it will be actively obstructing the very
process it is seemingly supporting. A vivid example is
the government's 9/11 commission, whose aim was
allegedly to shed light on what happened on 9/11, while
covertly behind the scenes the Bush administration
was doing everything it could to hinder the commission's
inquiries (see, for example, 9/11 Commission Report:
Omissions and Distortions, by David Ray Griffin). All
one has to do is investigate the numerous ties to the
core cabal of the neocon Bush administration that the
members of the 9/11 commission have and the degree to
which it was a deliberate operation to obscure the truth
becomes apparent. It was as if the White House was
investigating itself; the foxes truly guarding the
henhouse. The 9/11 commission and its report, just like
the Warren Commission and its report on the Kennedy
assassination, was a façade, a show, a display in which
it appeared like our government was giving us what we
wanted, while actually being part of a deceptive
game of smoke-and-mirrors. It is like a
magician has hypnotized us, and is stealing what's in
our pockets while they have us under their trance in
which we believe they are serving us.
As if by a
perverse Jedi mind-trick, the Bush administration has
bewitched us into believing that it controls the
national dialogue, when in a democracy the opposite is
actually true. One of many examples when confronted
with overwhelming evidence that we have been torturing
our adversaries, Bush responds by saying he "rejects"
that claim, and the conversation stops right there and
moves on to other, more superficial topics. Our
government is supposed to represent us, which is to say
that they are our employees. Bush has turned this around
and put himself in the role of the dictator with us as
his subjects. And somehow we have allowed him
to get away with this. There is no escaping our
individual and collective complicity in this sad state
of affairs.
One
difference between what is happening in our country and
the state-controlled media of the old Soviet Union, is
that in the Soviet Union, most people were quite aware
that what was being presented to them by their corrupt
government as news was nothing but mind-warping
propaganda. Many Americans have fallen so under
the spell of the Bush regime's criminal lies that they
don't even know they are being lied to. It is like we
are living in a land of state-controlled zombies who
think they are free citizens of a free country.
It is as if
millions of our fellow citizens have fallen asleep, as
if they have become hypnotized and brainwashed by the
powers-that-be's incessant "managing" and "massaging" of
reality. These powers simply manipulate an already
gullible and highly suggestible public into a game of
"divide and conquer." They get rich off of other's blood
- they incite conflict, and covertly support both sides,
as they themselves reap the benefit of the conflict.
The
corporate war machine, which is co-dependently entangled
with our government, profits wildly from our invading
other sovereign countries. The
government-military-industrial complex's solution to the
very problem that they created by instigating wars
more war! It's completely sick and totally insane. And
we, in our dulled denial like hypnotized sheep -
simply go along and allow the whole parasitic enterprise
to be fed by offering our sons and daughters as fodder.
To the extent that we are not shedding light on the
utter criminality and insanity of what the Bush
administration is doing and saying "No," we are all
complicit in feeding our own genocide.
Bush
and our Congressional leaders are mouthpieces for the
advertising campaign of distortion and falsehood that is
being "bomb-arded" into our psyches on a daily basis.
Our "leaders" repetitive slogans and incantations brand
and imprint themselves deep into our unconscious, where
many who do not have enough psychic resistance fall
under the spell. (please see Chapter 8 "Breaking
Bush's Spell", in my book The Madness of George W. Bush:
A Reflection of our Collective Psychosis). People's
ability to discern truth from fiction has been rendered
inoperative by our own government's pattern of routinely
taking liberty with the truth. Government propaganda has
inverted the perception of what is actually happening,
as lies are presented as truths, and up is portrayed as
down in a truly Orwellian universe of confounding
doublespeak. Through the "Big Lie" which is based on
that the bigger the lie, the harder it is for people to
see the truth - the government has transformed myth into
seeming fact, and has achieved its goal of muddling our
minds so as to dis-empower us.
Many of us
haven't developed the psychic immunity to be able to
fully ward off the toxic effects of our government's
covert, fear-based psychological warfare. An expression
of the success of our government's psy-ops against US is
the fact that there's so little awareness about
the government's assault on our minds that it's hardly
even a part of our national dialogue. The
insidiousness of the government's covert manipulation of
our minds is even found in the very term "Global War on
Terror". "The Global War on Terror" is a crazy-making,
self-contradictory statement, as we can never stop
terror with a war on the contrary, wars induce terror!
This term carries with it a false and self-negating
premise that if we accept we've already given away our
power. If we leave this underlying assumption
unquestioned, we unwittingly allow them to frame the
agenda on their terms. We have then already fallen under
their spell without knowing it, as our capacity to think
and respond creatively is undermined. Our inability to
creatively respond to the war on our consciousness is an
expression of being immobilized in fear as if frozen in
trauma. The war on terror is really a war on our psyche.
The war on terror is ultimately about control --
control of our minds.
What Bush
and our Congressional leaders are doing is so morally
outrageous that it is literally off the charts of
accepted, "normal", ethical, sane human behavior. In the
words of French poet Andre Chenier, Bush and Co. are
committing "crimes that make the laws tremble," as they
are covertly undermining our very legal and political
system itself. The corruption that has infected our body
politic is like a virus that is exploiting weaknesses in
our political immune system so as to feed and spread its
pathology.
Those of us who are somewhat sane can easily lack the
imagination for the depth of depravity that the Bush
administration regularly acts out in the world.
Our lack of imagination works to the
government's advantage, as it allows them to continue to
act out the darkness in a manner which is
incomprehensible to us. This is why the great
doctor of the soul C. G. Jung counseled us to develop an
"imagination for evil," as being able to imagine the
scope of evil that human beings can fall prey to and act
out empowers us to see it clearly and thereby deal with
it more effectively.
Our
government's lying and criminality is so
pervasive that we have become desensitized to their
corruption. Their evil has become so "normalized," that
just like someone watching TV becomes numb and
anesthetized to the violence, we have become
desensitized to the horror of what Bush and his cronies
are doing right in front of our very eyes day after day.
We've learned or, shall I say, become programmed - to
accept the fact that the Bush administration is almost
always lying, for, as we are told "All governments lie".
DEFRAUDING
US OF THE TRUTH
Bush
and Co., with the help of the US Supreme Court and the
approval of Congress, rigged the 2000 and 2004 elections
(see, for example, Fooled Again by Mark Crispin Miller).
Then, with the help of the corporate media which is
dependent on the good graces of military and government
budgets and operations, Bush and Co. put out
mind-numbing propaganda that no such hostile takeover
had even taken place, to the point where after a little
while most people forgot that anything out of the
ordinary had occurred. The government's propaganda
machine plays with our minds, putting us in a
somnambulistic state so that we eventually begin to
accept the version of reality (in our example, that Bush
has been "elected" to be our president) that serves its
underlying agenda.
Once the
office of "perception management" convinces a critical
mass of people of a particular viewpoint, there is a
"consensus" or "agreement" that is reached among the
masses as to what is objectively true. The agreed upon
version of reality takes on a "weight" and becomes the
established dogma of what is collectively imagined to be
really happening. Like a "religious" truth, it is
irrationally believed like an act of faith by its
card-carrying members, even if overwhelming evidence
points to the contrary. Anyone who doesn't buy
into the arbitrarily established story is marginalized
and demonized, and either called crazy, a conspiracy
theorist, or even a terrorist ("You're either
with us or you're with the enemy").
If only one
person believed the propaganda-created consensus version
of reality, they'd be thought of as crazy. If a small
group of people believed it, they'd be thought of as a
cult. When a certain critical mass of people
irrationally believe this fictionalized version of
reality (in our case, that Bush has been "elected" by
the people) to be objectively true, however, they are
considered normal.
Mass
psychology then becomes the order of the day, as our
species, animated and inspired by fear which Bush and
his regime are only too happy to cultivate - reverts to
the primitive psychology of the herd. A collective
amnesia ensues, continually fed by a self-generating web
of endless denial, as the manufactured consent is
recreated anew every moment. A field of force which
literally resists conscious reflection becomes conjured
up around those who have fallen under the seductive
spell of the agreed upon and artificially constructed
consensus reality. Anyone reflecting back their
unconscious condition is considered to be the enemy.
Dissociating from their own darkness, they fight with it
outside of themselves as it is projected into and
reflected back by the world. Believing the agreed-upon
fantasy, they collectively fall into their unconscious
together and reinforce each other's delusions in a
self-perpetuating feedback loop, which is another way of
saying that they have fallen into a collective
psychosis.
Bush
was not elected by the people. The
military-industrial-financial crime syndicate's minions
and operatives had already insinuated themselves into
key positions of power so as to accomplish their
long-planned for covert takeover of the government. Some
of their cronies had already infiltrated the Supreme
Court, where they literally derailed the democratic
process and decided, with no basis in law, to
unconstitutionally invest themselves with the authority
of bestowing the election upon Bush. Bush's seeming
"election by the people" was in fact a strategically
implemented political coup d'etat. Very few even noticed
this act of violence because of the criminal syndicate's
control of the mainstream media. Their propaganda
machine succeeded in managing our perceptions just the
way they wanted, which is a polite way of saying they
successfully pulled the wool over most of our eyes, or
pulled the rug out from under us without too many of us
even noticing.
In a
diabolical feedback loop, the underlying crime
syndicate, by putting out propaganda (that Bush has been
elected president) creates the very situation (Bush
becoming president) which confirms the truth of their
propaganda, like in a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being in
a position of power, they are tapping into how they can
shape the world in their own image, which they are
imposing on the world through forceful means. They have in some perverse way begun to access how they
can seemingly manipulate and create "reality".
Because of their position of power, these sick few can
control the masses by manipulating events in the world,
as well as playing with our perceptions. They
are tapping into how in managing our perceptions, they
can literally create events, and in creating events,
they can manage our perceptions. This is a divine
secret, but in tapping into it with an impure heart,
where power is prioritized over love, it is always
destined for failure. In the end, these black magicians
will ultimately self-destruct, there is no question
about this whatsoever. It is simply a question of
mitigating the disaster as they create their own ruin.
Another
example of our government's attack on our consciousness:
After the 9/11 attacks, there is only one thing
certain the official story put out by our government,
itself a conspiracy theory, is not true. There
is no question about this to any thinking person who has
even minimally studied the evidence. (see, for example,
911truth.org). The fact that our own government is not
telling the truth to us about what happened on 9/11, as
well as actively obstructing any investigation into what
actually did happen, is a huge red flag why would our
own government be lying, and covering up their lie? Who
knows (maybe the shadow?) at this point whether 9/11 was
a false flag operation, covertly perpetrated by our own
government against us, or whether they knew about it
beforehand but simply allowed it to happen so as to gain
political advantage? Something's very fishy about the
whole thing. The fact that our country, except on the
margins, is not even having an open discussion about
what really happened on 9/11 the official version put
out by the government is blindly accepted by millions of
people as the objective truth - is another expression of
our government shaping our dialogue, both nationally and
within our own minds. The government's distorted
story about what happened on 9/11 is itself an
expression of the deeper and more general underlying
conspiracy of our government to defraud us of the truth.
The
last thing this criminal enterprise wants is for us to
see what it is doing. These criminal war lords
want us to believe that we live in a democracy. For
example, in a diabolical sleight of hand, we are given
the illusory stage-show of free elections, while there
is overwhelming evidence that the elections were rigged.
Even to be in a position to run for president you have
to be able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars
this itself is the entrance fee to the game. In
addition, the only people who would be allowed by these
robber barons to be in a position of power such as
"Commander-in-Chief" is someone they control. Barack or
Hillary? It's an illusion of choice, a
stage-managed distraction from what's really going on.
We are left with the appearance, and a misguided belief,
that we live in a government run "by the people and for
the people." In a very real sense, the Democrats and
Republicans are simply various factions who are fighting
for the right to represent the underlying
military-industrial-financial crime syndicate that owns
and operates our government. Those who control "our"
government want to keep their operations covert, beneath
our conscious awareness. For if enough of us become
conscious of the evil and depravity that they are
perpetrating in our name on the entire planet, their gig
is up.
HOW TO
ACHIEVE VICTORY IN THE WAR ON CONSCIOUSNESS
The powers
that have taken over our country will do anything in
their sorcerer's bag of tricks to distract us and keep
up the illusion that they are protecting us so as to
maintain power. These banking and corporate
pirates are willing and more than ready to intimidate,
buy off, or destroy any and all critics. It is important
for us to realize the depth of evil we are dealing with
here they are willing to kill as many people as needed
to accomplish their aims. It is shocking to
realize that the very entity that is supposed to be
protecting us our government is the very thing from
which we need protection. It is shattering to realize
that our leaders are genuine psychopathic criminals who
are trying to take over our planet, impose full-spectrum
dominance, enact a new world order and centralize power
and control. Instead of this being a conspiracy theory,
the evidence is all around us, as it is everywhere we
look if we have the eyes to see beyond the carefully
crafted and disseminated spell that is being perpetually
woven all around us.
What is
happening in our world has more the "feeling" of an
invasion from a parallel universe than a physical coup
d'etat. This is because the intrusion is taking place on
the plane of mind, and only secondarily on the physical
plane. If we could stop this covert incursion into our
minds it would be much easier to mitigate the outer wars
that plague our world.
These
criminals clearly have way more power than we do in
terms of guns, tanks, media and technology, but
they are no match for us if we activate the inherent
brilliance of our consciousness a force with unlimited
potential. Part of the spell they are casting
is that there's nothing we can do, that we are powerless
to stop them from doing whatever they want, like when
Cheney mentioned it doesn't make a difference what
Congress or the American people want, this
administration is not going to be stopped from sending
more troops to Iraq.
The Bush
regime's worst nightmare is for us to wake up to how
we've been manipulated, hoodwinked and played by them
like fools. The last thing they want is for us to access
the natural intelligence inherent in being consciously
aware, and connect with each other through the
open-heart of lucidity. The powers-that-be's greatest
fear is for us individually, as well as collectively, to
connect with our intrinsic God-given power to create.
Once we
clearly see what is being perpetrated in our name, we
can come together and "conspire to co-inspire" so as to
awaken and mobilize our collective genius, which is
a power greater than any weapon of mass destruction. In
actuality, our connecting in shared lucidity is the
antidote to all WMD's it is what I call a WMC a
"Weapon of Mass Consciousness". It is what becomes
activated when enough of us come together and see (C
i.e., become conscious of) what is happening.
Connecting
with each other is crucially important, as the more of
us that consciously associate with each other - as if
re-membering (putting our "members" back together to
form a unified body) - the stronger the field of unified
force that we are able to generate. Once enough of us
sync up, we become more able to collectively invoke and
channel through our expanded awareness a power that is
able to dis-arm any WMD: the power of consciousness
infused with wisdom and compassion. Genuine compassion
can be very fierce, however, as it both demands and
empowers us to come together and say "No" to the evil
being done in our name. We can step out of the
fear-based reality in which we appear to exist
separately from each other in any moment and consciously
connect with each other through the open-heart of
lucidity. When we are truly serving what is best for the
whole for everyone a world-changing power becomes
available to us.
The
solution to winning the war on consciousness is for us
to RECOGNIZE the nature of the war we are in,
which can only happen through the agency of our
consciousness. Realizing that the true war we are in is
an assault on our own minds is the expansion of
consciousness which is itself simultaneously the
solution. From a deeper, more expansive
perspective, the war on consciousness is itself the very
catalyst and instrument for consciousness to awaken to
itself.
It
is our turn to come together so as to render powerless
these sick criminals who have been terrorizing us.
We can help each other to access our intrinsic
heart-centered power and collectively turn the light of
truth upon them so that they have no where to hide from
their lies and corruption. For "truth", to quote the
infamous Nazi Hermann Goerring, is "the greatest enemy
of the state." Bush and the private interests who keep
him in power and profit richly from his actions are
absolutely terrified of one thing - the truth. As the
late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said,
"Sunshine is the best disinfectant." Like pouring water
on the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz",
when the true light of awareness is shed on what Bush
and the real powers behind him are doing, their
illegitimate power over us is dis-spelled as the
illusion it always was.
