WHO’S “THEM”?

“Who’s them?”–The Lion, asking his companions about the soldiers marching into the fortress of the Wicked Witch of the West in ‘The Wizard of Oz’
Do you know who (which specific person) is the exact source of information you read or hear? Like the Lion, do you ask “who’s them?” before you accept information as being reliably true or false?
Information you read or hear is often from an unspecified source such as “the authorities” or “the experts” or “government sources”. If the source of the information isn’t precise, it’s worse than worthless. It may be entirely contrived or purposefully misguiding.
Before you believe what you read in the newspaper do you determine the name of the reporter and the editor who dreamed up the story? Do you take a minute to figure out what their vested interest might be in writing the story? The story could be accurately reported; or it could be a completely fictional, spin-doctored fairy tale. It could be an outright fabrication, an intentionally destructive lie. It could be a paid-for cover-up of a hidden agenda, or merely an advertisement to sell you something.
The point is simple: just make sure the road map of the Yellow Brick Road you saw on television wasn’t drawn by the Wicked Witch of the West before you go skipping off into a deep, dark forest full of Lions and Tigers and Bears and Flying Monkeys!
Our planet is overrun with self-appointed “authorities” on nearly any subject you can imagine. These so-called “authorities” do not have the right to evaluate information or make decisions for you. Movie or art critics are a good example. The only qualification a “critic” has for stating a viewpoint about a movie or work of art is that they are critical. Your viewpoint and opinion of a movie or work of art is the only important viewpoint.
Likewise, just because your mother, the Pope, the President, a psychiatrist (or any other mind-police), a television talk show host, the National Scandal Rag or the Good Witch of the North tells you something is true, doesn’t make it true. Newspapers, television, politicians and preachers are notorious for spewing huge volumes of very convincing false information which serves highly dubious or nefarious purposes. Usually, the only purpose being served is their own.”

DESTRUCTIVITY: THE JOY OF DESTRUCTION

THE JOY OF DESTRUCTION: an absurdist review of the gleeful “creativity” of destruction.
Why do human beings enjoy destroying things, and each other so much? It’s the opposite of Creativity: it’s DESTRUCTIVITY
If you can’t create something new and wonderful from nothing, as with a piece of art, then destroy the creation of others! Or, just admit that you’re too stupid or too lazy to create.
Here is a wonderfully creative film about the Joy of Destruction

Recently, (during the past 150 years) our country and planet have been taken over and are now controlled by private bankers: The Federal Reserve Bank, the International Monetary Fund, etc., are all controlled, ultimately, by the Rothschilds and a tiny cabal of money manipulators, and power mongers. Nearly everyone on the planet is affected by this “monopoly money” game, created and controlled to ensure that a few elite bankers have absolute Control, Power and Possession of the Earth.
It is easy to feel victimized and trapped by the global conspiracy of private bankers, and the political, religious and military goons they buy with their money printing presses. It is easy to blame or point the finger at politicians, who were entrusted to defend and protect us from financial and military conquest. It is easy to empower others to control our lives. We don’t have to think about anything except the personal gratifications, pleasures, drama and amusements we call our “life”.
However, if we are honest with ourselves, the situation is truly a “co-creation”. We willingly entered into the money trap that has now overwhelmed us with debt, and perpetual slavery to the 1 %. All of human history demonstrates that not much has really changed in this “game”. The tiny minority of the “ruling class” have always controlled or possessed the “peasants”, the slaves, the workers, and all of the natural resources needed for survival.
Philosophically speaking, it seems that all traps — and the money / banking system is just another trap — cannot be sustained unless there are Beings who are willing or interesting in “playing the game”. Investing in the stock market to make your money “grow” through speculation, is really VERY similar to gambling in a casino. A person must be willing to enter into the game, or trap, because of their own, personal greed. We willingly walk into the casino (trap) to play the game. And, of course the “game” is fixed and rigged so that the casino (or stock broker, or banker, or priest, or politician, etc.) always win the game more often than the other players!
However, it is a game. It solves the problem of being bored. So, perhaps we are not really “victims” of the “evil” of financial slavery or conquest. Perhaps we are really only talking about the idea of being RESPONSIBLE for becoming involved in different kinds of games. If we examine how we actually became trapped in games or universes, perhaps we will discover that we really just trapped ourselves! We AGREE to become trapped or to play a game because we did not want to be responsible for creating or OWN game or universe. We were not able or willing to just BE…. Beings want to DO something. We like action, and motion and sensation and drama and not knowing what will happen next! We call it “fun”. It is a game. It is not boring. Ultimately, the ONLY thing that any being is really doing is trying to NOT be bored! So, any game is better than not having a game. Any game is better than just “BEING”. Being is boring…..
