The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by authority figures, without
processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them.
The Black Sheep tries to warn its friends with the truth it has seen, unfortunately herd mentality kicks in for the Sheeple, and they run in fear from
the black sheep and keep to the safety of their flock.
Having tried to no avail to awaken his peers, the Black Sheep have no other choice but to unite with each other and escape the impending doom.
What color Sheep are you?
*** WARNING*** This video contains graphic reality content. Do not watch if seeing animal slaughter and blood bother you.........however, this is
what happens to docile, stupid creatures, this is reality.
This video shows that we indeed are herd / pack animals.
Without approval of and protection of the "pack" we are more vulnerable to predators........."they" have used this herd mentality to their
advantage.
Notice the sheep with the black bag on his/her head - the one that was noticeably different, the others all ran away from.
At 3:59 is a happy part, most ATS'ers are the black sheep cutting away from the herd and skipping under the fence and out of the slaughter house
truck to freedom...........if you are here on ATS you at least are questioning the Status Quo and that is the first step to removing your shackles.
More of us are waking up and TPTB better be scared, be very scared, there will come a time when there are more of us than them.
This next video is of a really, conservative, normal, middle class, stable woman (my opinion) it's like two minutes long and she says it short and
sweet..........with knowledge (knowing what is really going on) comes responsiblity.
Im probably a black sheep since no one in my family listens to anything that i tell them. I try to tell them to judge things for themselves and form
opinions that are their own but they still deny everything i tell them. They believe the government is helping them and they will go along with
anything and everything they want them to do. Its sad but ive given up on them, they can save themselves. I think at this point everyone is
responsible for saving themselves
Black sheep here - fantastic vid - loved the music too! I was happy when I saw the black sheep gather and escape. Very strange how the herd ignored
the one with the black hood!
I'm a purple sheep. I reject your strict dualism of "follower" and "smart guy", and I go chasing the butterflies and am glad to let people shear
my wool. 'cuz who doesn't want naturally purple wool sweaters? that's awesome!
I'm with Solasis on this one. None of us are either "truly aware" or "totally ignorant", we're all at various stages in between.
I'd love to think I was aware but I'm pretty sure I have huge gaps in knowledge that need to be filled despite 50 years of being solidly
individualistic and non-conformist.
I loved the music too, was that A perfect circle?
The second video was a Bill Moyers clip from way back about Iran/Contra.
How did they get away with that s#*! ?
How did we forget so quickly that secret government dealings are big trouble?
I heard Oliver North on The Tommy Thompson radio show the other day. It made me sick to think that some believe he is some kind of hero instead of the
Heinrich Himmler wannabe he truly is. GRRRRRR!
Same here, but then again it was like that ever since I started to see thing for what they are....a long long time ago. Now we are grown and they
still decide to turn a blind eye and a def ear to everything I say that closely resembles a conspiracy. Even my brother says he doesn't want to here
it. That he can't change anything anyway. But they are your run of the mill midle class ignorant familly. I love them to death but turning there
backs to what is happening right now is just moronic.
By the way. Have any of you heard anything about the death of the Gulf Stream? If you have post stuff about it please. Thank you.
I use that word everyday now in conversations I have with all sorts of people, both work and socially.....
It is met with some curiosity, some scorn and some whom think me a mad conspiracy type...... but I use it as a way of 'raising awareness'.
Many though just don NOT want to hear it and are happy with things ''being as they are'', scared of any sort of change..!
Me, I embrace change and actively look for ways in which things can be done differently...
Great little saying
''If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got''
On my type of sheep then I have to say a 'Soay' Sheep...... I keep a few of these and all i can say about them is this:- They are Very Fast, M&F
haves huge horns, Beautiful thick fleece for surviving the harshest conditions, Don't taste too good so little risk of being eaten, Do NOT behave in
a herd mentality. If you chase them there off in all directions......
Hehehe love the video. The elevator scenes are classic. People love to be part of the herd without even knowing what they are part of. Reminds
me of all the wikileaks supporters. They think they are being non-conformist but they are really following the herd and the government is thier
Shepard and Assange the sheep dog. Course that will bunch some panties but there it is. And shows that even otherwise bright people can be duped into
following thier herd instincts.

You're not raising any awareness. You are raising the "awareness" of your coworkers that you're a self-important jerk. Even though for the
most part you're right -- that they're oblivious to the world around them -- calling them this does NOTHING to them except to put them on edge and
wish for nothing more than to not become like you.

Take that advice to heart and please, please, please stop turning people off of Truth Seeking by calling them sheeple to their faces. Or behind their
backs. Or anywhere that they will possibly find out that you have done it.
edit on 15-12-2010 by Solasis because: poor phrasing and forgotten
words; did not mean to insult poster
Was it really necessary to use such a brutal video to illustrate such a simple concept?
I thought we all agreed that terms like, sheeple, anything from the matrix/xfiles/Orwell/, people pretending to be
satan/jesus/aliens/illuminati/Dbags, people pretending to have it all worked out etc were no longer allowed under the terms and conditions?
I read your thread and felt like I had went so far back in time that I'm still looking for the flux capacitor you must have fitted to it...
This is an excellent post and thread! Star and flag!
So sad that the majority feel this intense, overwhelming pressure to conform. It's part of why we, as a species, are so hampered. Why we stumble, and
fall. When we could fly and soar.
Thanks for really making this black sheep think this evening.
