There are a lot of peo­ple that I speak with about their posi­tion in life; you know… the fact that they’re chat­tel prop­erty of the U.S. Government…and they always want to argue with me that things just can’t be the way I say they are.

Oh really?  Why is that?

Once I ask the ques­tion, I will see that per­son go into a deep trance; because they now have no answer…because they have never con­sid­ered the pos­si­bil­ity.  Now, this once appar­ently coher­ent, but now deeply entranced indi­vid­ual will con­tinue to stam­mer and drone on and on about the con­sti­tu­tion yada, yada, yada.  What they fail to under­stand and/or want to grasp is that there is an entire sys­tem out there that is not what they think.

Now most peo­ple just want to com­plain about the sys­tem, but really it’s because they don’t under­stand the sys­tem.  The sys­tem they’re talk­ing about is one of com­pe­ti­tion between the “haves” and the “have nots”.  This is where they miss the boat.  What they miss is that the sys­tem is not about the “have nots” los­ing.  It’s designed specif­i­cally for the “haves” to win.  Period.  If you under­stand the sys­tem you can oper­ate in the sys­tem.  The “have nots” los­ing is their per­sonal choice…and they make that choice specif­i­cally because they com­plain and “do noth­ing” to edu­cate them­selves about the rules of the sys­tem they’re in.  So, they are not truly “have nots”, they are “Do Nothings”.

Some­where a civil engi­neer is laughing…

This is why this arti­cle is titled “Give Up All Hope”.  The peo­ple that you think are in charge are not in charge.  Let’s think about this log­i­cally for a sec­ond shall we?  All of the peo­ple that whine, com­plain, and com­mis­er­ate about the cir­cum­stances in the world, their life, and their over­all state of being are always search­ing for two things.  Some­one to blame, and some­one to save them.

We are no dif­fer­ent now than we were 2000 years ago.  We just live in the  world with greater sophis­ti­ca­tion and bet­ter “toys”…but with all the “bet­ter perks” of life, we are still at our core pri­mates.  We still have the same pri­mate needs, the two core needs being pro­tec­tion from death and the pro­cre­ation of life.  Well in the mul­ti­ple of mil­len­nium that have come and gone, and along with it, the thou­sands of peo­ple that have had “the answer” at one time or another, why have we not found this “sav­ior” or “mes­siah” as it were?

Because it doesn’t exist.  Hope has got­ten you exactly nowhere.  That’s all there is to it.  Hope allows you to think about doing some­thing.  Heck, hope allows you to think that your think­ing (when you’re not) and hope allows you to think that you’re doing some­thing (when you’re not).  It is men­tal gym­nas­tics and utter futility.

Now make sure you under­stand what I’m say­ing, and not what I’m not.  I’m not say­ing to do noth­ing.  I’m say­ing exactly the opposite.

The advan­tage that we have over all other ani­mals in the king­dom is our abil­ity to decide.  The dis­ad­van­tage we have is that our abil­ity to decide has been hijacked by other peo­ple smarter than you that under­stand your need to avoid fear and to gain so-called secu­rity at all costs.  These “oth­ers” also under­stand the end­less­ness of the human capac­ity to be utterly com­pla­cent and lazy.

So, the lists of option that you’ve been decid­ing from comes from options that you’ve been shown as “here are your options of what is avail­able to decide from”.  It’s just like the hyp­no­sis that comes from a mas­ter magi­cian, who has you focused on his act rather than his mech­a­nisms.  Hyp­no­sis is noth­ing more than the focus­ing of ones atten­tion onto a cer­tain thing, or into a par­tic­u­lar men­tal state.   The sys­tem calls this enter­tain­ment because these “oth­ers” know that you would rather be enter­tained than accept respon­si­bil­ity or make a real decision.

And this is what enter­tain­ment gives you…if you focus on enter­tain­ment.   How­ever using enter­tain­ment, the sys­tem will actu­ally give you more truth if you’re lis­ten­ing.  For instance;

You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the con­tents of your wal­let. You’re not your !@&#$ khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.   Lis­ten up, mag­gots. You are not spe­cial. You are not a beau­ti­ful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decay­ing organic mat­ter as every­thing else.

Now this may be a real­ity that you don’t want to accept, but just con­tem­plat­ing this will help you accept real­ity. It will help you accept responsibility.…believe me.

So what do you get to do, NOW?  Take back your life.  That is what this web­site is all about.

In the future I’ll be writ­ing about ways to take off the blind­ers.  But first and fore­most you must find some­one that has walked the path before you.  On this site you will find exactly that.  You can deter­mine your own life.  It’s not easy.  As a mat­ter of fact it actu­ally takes some­thing that most peo­ple in west­ern civ­i­liza­tion have allowed…yes allowed; to be beaten out of them.  Courage.  Deter­mi­na­tion.  Tenacity.
