What do you think....?

"We are witnessing the unprecedented takeover of the mass psyche of not only this country, but the world in general. Any part of the world that has access to the mass media, propagated of course and injected into the subconscious by television primarily. I believe now that the mass media combine in this country, whether it be people magazine in print, whether it be MTV and all rest of the visual media, whether it be audio through the music, it doesn’t matter. I believe that combine of media is now to a large degree the actual virtual consciousness and brain of the majority of the masses of this country. I believe it thinks for them, I believe it decides for them, I believe they are hopelessly and irrevocably consulting with it 24 hours a day without even knowing it, because of the ability to project into the subconscious and the conscious mind all the time the imagery, the thoughts, the processes, the boundaries. I believe we are living now with people in a secondary role to a virtual consciousness and brain that has been created with utter and full intent."   ~~Jeff Rense

Of course Rense is a crazy man.  Radical Liberal or crazy Conservative.  Both, perhaps?  Neither?  Perhaps non-definable.  Perhaps correct.  :)  Scary, eh?  Whoa!  Maybe he's the only one who is sane?

Possibly 5% of the population question the government/media/industrial/business establishment.  That isn't very many questioners.  The balance, the other 95%, meekly follow along.  Why would that be?  Why would so few question the blatantly obvious criminality that occurs at all levels of life in Amerika?  How can it be possible that so few are willing to think in this country?  Perhaps they aren't capable of thought, especially original thought?  What percentage of the 5% who do think are willing to speak up?  What percentage are willing to take action?  You will have to use your own deductive reasoning and critical thinking ability to solve that one.  Ya gotta love it, eh?

I admit that the stated 5% statistic, like most statistics, is an arbitrary number.  I made it up.  It is, though, made up based loosely on my day to day interaction with the 200 or so people who are employed by the company that I manage.  If anything, the 5% estimate is probably on the generous side.  I'm a bit of an optimist.  LOL.

While you're enjoying your beers and picnics and the recreational activities that you will be participating in this weekend, take a moment to consider the men and women who have given their lives for you so that you can continue to enjoy these freedoms.  Take a moment to consider also, that these freedoms are rapidly disappearing.  Understand that the vast majority of your fellow citizens are oblivious to this.  They don't know and they don't care.

Stay safe.
