IDEAL TYRANNY: PERFECT SLAVES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

SELF-ENSLAVED

“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.”

— Donald James (22 August 1931—28 April 2008) — the author of the best-selling novels Vadim, Monstrum, The Fortune Teller and The Fall of the Russian Empire, as well as non-fiction books such as The Penguin Dictionary of the Third Reich. He wrote under a number of pseudonyms, notably Thomas Dresden and James Barwick.  James’s career as a scriptwriter included work on TV series such as The Adventurer, The Avengers, The Champions, Department S, Joe 90, Mission: Impossible, The Persuaders!, The Protectors, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), The Saint, The Secret Service, Space: 1999, Terrahawks and UFO. He wrote for a total of 22 titles, including the Century 21 film Doppelgänger.

THE PRIMARY AIM OF MODERN WARFARE

“The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of doublethink, this aim is simultaneously recognized and not recognized by the directing brains of the Inner Party) is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. (2.9.25, Goldstein’s Manifesto)”

“War is a necessary tool for the Party because it keeps the standard of living in check, maintaining the inequalities essential to a totalitarian state.”

— from “1984” by George Orwell (published in 1947)

THE PEOPLE

Plato made the following statement 2,395 years ago.  It seems that “the people” never change:
The Politicial Icon
“The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness.  …this and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.  When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader”.

“Plato  Greek: (423 – 348 BCE) was a philosopher, as well as mathematician, in Classical Greece. He is considered an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his teacher Socrates and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science.

Plato’s dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, and innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.”

MIND-CONTROL PARASITES

MIND-CONTROL PARASITES

An actual example from nature of a parasitic insect that uses “mind-control” to cause the host insect to change its normal behavior to the benefit of the parasite,  is described in the PDF article below.

ABSTRACT: On the evening that it will kill its host, the orb-weaving spider Plesiometa argyra, the larva of the Ichneumonid wasp induces the spider to perform highly stereotyped construction behavior and build a ‘‘cocoon web’’ that is particularly well designed to support the wasp larva’s cocoon.

Here is a PDF file of a recent article written by William G. Eberhard which describes this phenomenon in detail:  PARASITES CONTROL MIND
