 Thousands of years ago people lived in close knit clans and the population of the world was only a tiny fraction of what it is now. People could go an entire life time without ever encountering a stranger. 
 
	Unfortunately, sometimes strangers purposely 
	encountered them. 
 
	Not knowing if these beings were humans, spirits 
	or even monsters their hearts thumped hard in their chests as they stood 
	paralyzed, watching the creatures growing nearer. 
 
	They then turned their attention to the women. 
	Any who were old, sick, or pregnant were also killed. The rest would be 
	taken to be their slaves and wives. They took whatever pillage they found 
	desirable from the camp, then pulled the women onto their horses in front of 
	them and began the journey home. 
 
	They also wept for their murdered children and 
	husbands, and mothers and fathers and other family members, but they did so 
	only when they would not be caught and punished for their tears. Within a 
	year the women began giving birth to the children of their rapist captors. 
 This became their stock in trade and within two generations an entire ideology developed wherein the practitioners of organized mass murder deified and worshipped themselves and each other, with the greatest respect going to the most brutal, most psychopathic and most murderous among them. 
 These were the first CEO's, commonly referred to as kings. 
 
	They deified themselves before the people to 
	become the church, and the combination of king and church became 
	the state. 
 It is also the present for little has changed in the ways of men who to this day continue to profit through the mass slaughtering of innocents and the plundering of their lands. Today it has become more sophisticated only in that they have been able to convince others to go and do the slaughtering for them and bring the plunder back to the CEOs. 
 
	The weapons have evolved with the development of 
	technology, but in the end they do the same as their earliest counterparts, 
	they kill innocent people as quickly as they can be wielded. They kill more 
	people with increasingly less effort every passing decade. 
 
	They don't fund a penny of it and they never 
	have to get their own hands dirty. Their own lives are never in danger. It 
	is all done for them, at no cost to them and at no risk to them whatsoever. 
	It is we they convince to do their slaughter for them, pay for it all, and 
	take every risk and loss unto ourselves. 
 Their attire has changed from animal skins and fearsome masks, to tailored suits and silk ties. No longer on horseback they now ride in limousines to boardrooms and back rooms to claim their victories, engaging in brutal tactics that continue to decimate millions of lives in their endless drive for more wealth and more power. 
 
	Today they are able to walk among us 
	unrecognized for they have mastered the fine arts of subterfuge and 
	psychological manipulation to the point of gaining and maintaining total 
	control over the minds of people everywhere. 
 They would contend that their superior ability to kill, deceive and enslave mankind deserves high recognition and that because of their brutality and dishonesty they are the superiors of all men. But today, just like thousands of years ago they would be wrong to make such a claim, and they know that. That is why they dare not speak such things where others could hear them and recognize them for who and what they are. 
 What they are is the greatest evolution of human evil this world has ever known. 
 
	They embody and inspire every vile potential of 
	mankind. 
 The CEOs, the state, are deceiving themselves as much as they are deceiving this world. They are Earth's slow children, retarded in moral development, the most truly disabled among us, for these men have no souls and so they can never be whole. 
 
	They would be pitiable but the nature of their 
	disease makes them singularly difficult to feel any pity for. 
 
	 
 But this is never told to the people they lie into blind cooperation. Other stories are told, often complex and compelling stories that instill fear in the public. 
 
	Fear is the primary motivating tool 
	behind war, the most effective tool in the propaganda arsenal. 
 The Holy War is an example of this mixing of opposites, and patriotism is a concept used to manipulate the emotions of the masses. Propaganda is profoundly effective and that is why it is the first step to waging any war. 
 
	Without it, there would be no chance that people 
	anywhere would be moved to kill anyone. 
 It is after all you and I who pays for war with our money and our lives. 
 Our hard earned dollars are directly transferred from our pockets to the pockets of wealthy men with our government serving as the enforcing agent. We have no choice but to pay. It is the high level officials who call for war, and who more and more are the very same men who head up the major corporate entities, including the corporate media, that profit so abundantly from war. 
 
	Take the money away, take the profits away, take 
	the media's relentless war propagandizing away, make war profiteering 
	illegal and reduce profits from war to mere pennies and just see how much 
	war would be waged. 
 
	We do all of the work, pay for everything, they 
	get rich, and we get a paycheck that is only a bare fraction of our fair 
	share of the wealth we create. They keep it. And they keep taking more, 
	getting stronger, and we keep losing our just share of power, wealth and 
	prosperity. 
 
	All of the money, all of the power, all of the 
	control over all of us, that is, those of us they decide to let live. 
 
	 
 If it were up to us to determine our own fate, to design our own world and future, 
 
	Would we have so much need for money when the 
	fact is that our birthright on this earth includes our entitlement to take 
	whatever we need for our lives from earth's abundant natural resources? We 
	don't have to destroy it to use it. We know perfectly well that destroying 
	our world is suicide. 
 Other than forcing strict constraints and strong regulations on those infected and watching them like hawks every moment of the day, there is little we can do to prevent their addictive penchant for death and destruction. That is, unless we finally as a whole wake up to the simple reality that we've all been deprived of our rightful lives, our rightful chance to experience our own potential, and to define that potential for ourselves. 
 
	We are captive and bound by laws that force us 
	to comply with the desires of the greedy and the violent. The propaganda 
	they spew keeps our minds entrapped. Freeing ourselves from their relentless 
	tactics and strategies that seek to frame our thoughts for us is essential. 
	Our thoughts must be our own or we will remain entrapped forever. 
 It will come when we individually disconnect ourselves from the raging rivers of propaganda and the many and various glittering cult stars and personalities who talk up thundering storms about freedom while in fact they are working to deprive us of that freedom, and are doing so right before our unseeing eyes. It is we who have to wise up to bring the insanity to an end. 
 
	We cannot change them and we cannot hope to 
	change the systems that control our lives unless we change ourselves first. 
 
	We are their equals and they are not above any 
	one of us. They are no wiser, no better, and no more deserving than the 
	least of us. There should not even be a 'least of us'. That we cannot 
	understand that speaks to the depth of our own brainwashing and the 
	acceptance of the value systems that deprive us of what is our rightful fair 
	share of everything life has to offer. 
 
	The wars, injustice and suffering that keeps our 
	country stuck in self-defeating systems of mass belief, mass consumption and 
	mass indifference to the truth are the product of our refusal to see 
	ourselves and the systems that control us for what they really are. 
 We believe we are free, but we are not and never were. 
 Our ignorance of everything real and factual keeps us believing something that simply is not true. We are more tightly controlled than ever and that control is becoming ever more brutal. Our choices are dwindling and the system itself is becoming impenetrable, making itself our eternal master. The system seeks only to protect and perpetuate itself, it is not interested in freedom or justice and if you simply break any of their rules, even the most unjust of them you'll quickly find that out. 
 Freedom will not come until the corporate/state monopoly of control and the artifice of righteous violence in the name of good is understood and finally rejected. That is what is meant by "Knowledge is Power". 
 
	Our knowledge of the truth is what will reduce 
	the corrupt controllers to irrelevance, powerlessness and shame. 
 We must rock the boat in order to break free of the powerful grip of false beliefs that control the majority of our minds. We must be willing to offend and disrupt in order to speak the truth, if that's what it takes. 
 The truth must never be subordinate to disapproving opinions, which in themselves are a potent tool of social control. We must value real peace more than the instant gratification, the false peace that comes from choosing to conform specifically to avoid the necessary confrontations required to bring the truth back into public discourse. 
 
	We must fearlessly, unapologetically question 
	everything, question authority and demand justice for the least of us 
	until there is no such thing as a least of us. 
 A world of justice, peace and freedom will come about as soon as we start living in it. 
 We can do that anytime. 
 
	We can even do it now...
