“Apathy.
Indifference.
Carelessness. (Care-less-ness.)
Standing by.
Doing nothing.
That could be the death of us
each
and surely the death
of us all.”
~ Shellen Lubin
As I recently perused the insane ‘news’ cycle, this on the day that the world seemed to stand still, Friday the 13th, the clarity of the non-caring, non-interested, indifferent, and fully apathetic society was glaringly obvious. After the main headline on that day, that U.S. ‘authorities’ had ordered all planes across the country to immediately land, the following top headline was concentrated on worry over how all the football teams were going to be able to get to their scheduled games. If ever an ignorant bread and circus mentality was entirely exposed, this was it. Obviously, the concern about watching sports was an extremely high priority for many, so much so that the moronic mainstream felt it had to address this first and foremost. Even the idiot U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, commented nationally that we’ve had disruptions to the college football schedule, but are working to make sure the games go on.
Keep in mind, that besides the near entirety of the airline industry being shut down here in the U.S., hundreds of bank closures around the world were happening, blackouts were prevalent in many countries, a Microsoft global outage adversely affecting 74 countries was occurring, coordinated bomb threats against commercial airlines in Europe, suspected sabotage, cyber-attacks, drone incursions and interference with satellite systems, a tanker and cruise ship anomaly, and even an alien landing warning. But through all this very dangerous worldwide chaos, football games were a primary concern. It seems that human braincells have been irreparably harmed, or more likely designedly disappeared.
The major problem it seems, of this and many other countries, is that the big picture is ignored, while the daily garbage called ‘news,’ the minutia, the innumerable distractions, and the political circus, takes precedence, while the complete takeover of the world is being implemented by installing a centralized technocratic ruling system, meant to imprison society in a land of enslavement.
This means tearing down the current flawed system in favor of a much worse new system of total centralized control by regional technates. The financial and monetary system will need to be destroyed and then rebuilt into a programable digitized monstrosity, transportation and voluntary mobility will need to be eliminated, extreme biometrics will be implemented for all, 24/7 mass surveillance, highly concentrated living arrangements, as in 15 minute cities, (concentration camp environments) and of course the “Great Taking,” where all assets are claimed by the State, and tokenized. This is what is being sought, and why the Friday the 13th fiasco (pre-planned test) was purposely designed and prosecuted. This was a premeditated coup in my opinion.
It is important to understand that this mass collective indifference and complacency did not happen overnight, and has been long in the making; over a century or more. As of late, meaning the past few decades, this lack of interest, lack of concern for personal freedom and total lack of independence, and almost unquestioned acceptance of false authority, has consumed the minds of the bulk of this population. This has led to an accelerated tyranny; where great advances have been accomplished over a historically short period of time. At this moment in history, I think the modern starting point of this vast acceleration of totalitarian efforts began with the 9/11 fraud, and greatly intensified with the ‘covid’ scam.
Much of this human decline can be blamed on the complete reversal of morality norms. This is not to say that collective morality was ever close to perfect, but the deterioration of moral behavior, the lack of empathy, accepted dependence over responsibility, apathy, and decadence as a common trait, has been at the core of the current downfall of man. Some might argue that this assertion is overstated, but I would argue that the opposite is the case; especially during the last quarter of a century.
The intentional dumbing down of society was a vital part of this destructive transformation, and with that loss of individual intellectual determination came a weakened and obedient society, and the following more corrupt ruling class only gained strength. When the people no longer care about right and wrong, when they are even confused by the concept, only seeing gray, the boundaries of evil are at once greatly expanded. There is only right or wrong, and in this realm of thought, there can never be gray, for if confusion is allowed to enter the paradigm of morality, then morality is lost. Without a common moral purpose, hate, division, aggression, and corruption flower, while sanity withers and dies.
While the acceleration of tyranny has exploded, it can speed up even more, because little if anything is now standing in the way of this totalitarian train from hell. ‘The people’ have all the power should they desire to control their own destiny; the numbers alone bear this out. So far, that scenario is nothing but a pipe dream, as individual courage against the evil state has turned into mass cowardice in the face of voluntary enslavement.
The great risk to us all lies in the hands of this collective herd of apathetic followers; obedient serfs wishing and hoping for someone else to give them relief. This paralyzes the few who are competent and willing to stand against this communistic and fascist nation-state called America. Without a mass turnaround of the general population, it is highly unlikely that this sought-after global technocratic occultocracy will be stopped. At this juncture in the progression of totalitarian rule, there is very little time left. Given that the solution; the answer to this madness, is the elimination of the State, government, and all its enforcement arms, the risk to us all is devastating. Under the prevailing lack of any clear thought, competent, moral, and courageous resistance by the majority who reside in this now mentally paralyzed population, we are facing Armageddon.
