Hi, I' Dr. LaPaglia - and you probably think I'm smarter just because I have some initials in front of my name. Perhaps a business suit too? Again,
illusions. Likewise, Power is an illusion. The Power Elite are not in control because neither the masses nor the Power Elite themselves are in
complete control of themselves. Rather, we have a little bit of rational thinking ability, and we must balance this out with our social constructions
and animalistic impulses, desires & instincts. Money is merely a means to an end, it is a measurement of human energy among other variables. I am here
right now because I am an anomaly of this so-called 'Matrix'. Humans are not wolves, that are designed to prey on one another. Rather, we are more
like friendly guinea pigs. Yes, some display instincts of dominance within a herd, but at the end of the day, the herd all sleep together huddled in a
group. Likewise, they put the herd over their own self, for example, when a predator comes, they all scatter in opposing directions, with the result
of one Guinea Pig will sacrifice itself to save the others. Likewise, Meercats do it too, lots of herd animals do it. Human beings are not
psychopaths, Freud was wrong: But he did a DAMN good job for the Victorian Era. Really. Things have gotten better for everyone: Even in the Third
World. Imperialism and Wars were done because of the instinctual need for security: Hence this is the origin of the drive of the United States to
expand. Fear was the cause of this expansion. The SWFS Wars had its central these statement completely wrong: Knowledge is not, ABSOLUTELY NOT, a
means to an end. I don't care about money, Power is an ILLUSION, what I want is knowledge. There are no conspiracies. Why? Because everything leaks,
and because when you conspire to gain an apple, you get orange peels - you get something completely different when what you originally wanted. This is
because the Power Elite have little control over themselves, precisely as this is mirrored in the willfully ignorant masses. The difference is merely
a matter of minor variables, opulence/wealth, knowledge, luck, connections, family, and so on. The Elites will lose if they eliminate the masses:
Because genuine knowledge only comes from so-called 'little people' or 'sheep' or 'proletarians' or 'poor people' or 'people who can't just
hop on a private jet and move to Dubai' (Yes, I'm referring to you Mr. Laizar, CEO of Haliburton, don't give me that look, yes, that one, the one
you're making as you read this text). I'm writing this because we lie on a paradox of freedom to no freedom: I personally believe that I am not free
as I write this because I want to preserve the world. I want to live in a world where everyone can experience true, genuine knowledge, and live as
long as possible to attain it. Therefore, I am not free, because I choose to be a 'freelance Slave', I choose to rationally think to get others to
rationally think, therefore producing more knowledge, which is the real prize. The Power Elite will lose 'the game' if they continue to waste
valuable resources on directly or indirectly poisoning us with propaganda, war with the intent to maximize possession of natural resources, and,
ironically, poison itself in the many things we consume. I do not believe in ideology. If the Power Elite believe in ideology: Then they are the
biggest slaves of all. Therefore, it is my goal to liberate the real slaves, the Power Elite, if they choose to believe their own propaganda, their
own ideologies. And yes, they have been shown to do that. Really. Shareholders and Directors of Tobacco ACTUALLY SMOKES AND COERCED THEIR ENTIRE
FAMILIES TO SMOKE! So, again, back to where I started, even the Power Elite have little control over themselves. But when we tear down the illusions,
and break down the irrationality of rationality, then I too, will be free. But until then, I must admit, I am a Slave, even though we all can see the
illusion, of freedom I have.
