“Gullibility is a knife at the throat of civilization.”
~ David Wong
Naïveté is said to explain the meaning of gullibility, but I think that is much too kind an interpretation to be accepted. I find that gullibility rests on the premises of dependence, laziness, ignorance, and pure stupidity. I see no value in beating around the bush, as it were, as kindness is certainly a good trait and has its place, but it should never reside in any realm of intellectual honesty. To believe it is kind to lie or sugarcoat in order to protect weak ‘feelings’ due to obvious faults, is just an extension of hiding the truth. There is no good that can come from this type of deception.
As the idea of gullibility pertains to the masses who make up the proletariat herd, this is a mere excuse for not facing reality. Therefore it is based upon mental obsolescence, or in other words, total loss of brain function in order to purposely suppress any unwanted truth; thereby escaping (avoiding) all personal responsibility. How convenient a scheme for the feeble-minded.
What is going on today is nearly a universal case of mass avoidance of reality in favor of displaying what I call Empty Mind Syndrome. (EMS) How else could the few actual rulers control hundreds of millions, billions actually, without using brute force as its only weapon? I do not consider this behavior to be temporary, but a pathological certainty, as humanity has sought and accepted government (authoritative systems) for thousands of years. Every so-called ‘election’ simply proves this point, as majorities rush to choose (‘vote’) who will be their lords and masters, and the lords and masters of others, so in fact, those who vote are all admitting to being voluntary slaves, and seeking to force this heinous system on everyone else as well; a right that they could never legitimately possess. No man has any right whatsoever to rule over any other man, and therefore cannot assign that right by proxy, which is what all voting entails.
Is this why a preponderance of this pathetic, helpless, and hopeless population are actually enthusiastically invested in their gullibility; so much so as to be completely incapable of critical thought and action? Of course it does. How else could so many buy into and believe anything coming out of media or government? How could a majority continually buy into the State narratives and lies being spewed by politicians and their controlled media? How could anyone believe that this (or any other) government is there to ‘serve,’ help, or protect you? How could any believe that by ‘giving’ power to anyone to rule over you and others, that all your problems would be solved, without voiding your sovereignty and therefore your freedom? Why do so many fail to understand that they are willing and compliant slaves of the State?
This brings us to the massive problems we now face; problems brought about due to the blatant apathy and gullibility that consumes this population. Without the blind acceptance of rule, without the desire to be governed, without the worship of a nation-state, our freedom would never have been lost. Indifference has taken over this society, and this grip of cowardice has long been the bane of liberty, and the impetus for the coming economic and technocratic devastation.
The global takeover that is occurring today has roots that go back for hundreds of years. Technocracy itself effectively came into its own 100 years ago, so to think this monstrous debacle we are in is something that is new, or is due to a particular political party or administration, is completely ludicrous. Common people tend to think in terms of days, months, and years, while the ruling class and its government think in terms of decades and centuries. Incremental confiscation of power, control, and asset forfeiture over long periods of time is more effective than the outright taking by force, as the ‘public’ has to go along seemingly voluntarily; complicit in their own servitude to the State. In reality, the ‘people’ not only allow, but demand rule, and in that effort, they actually vote to ‘choose’ their own masters, giving over all sovereignty in the process. Insane does not even begin to describe this self-destructive collective behavior.
What is obvious, but incredibly disturbing, is that ‘you,’ most all of you, have gone along with every heinous act perpetrated by this ruling cabal, regardless of the devastation it caused. ‘You’ have gone along with aggressive murderous wars, torture, slaughter, and genocide strictly because it was ‘your’ government that prosecuted these crimes. ‘You’ did this without the first worry or sympathy for all the innocents targeted and murdered in your name. ‘You’ went along with all the constant false flag events and terrorism committed by this evil government and military, including the Gulf of Tonkin lie, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing FBI operation, the 9/11 inside job hoax, the weapons of mass destruction scam and multiple following wars, the 2008 economic crash and QE, and the fake ‘covid’ pandemic fraud.
Now ‘you’ are willingly accepting the new world order, fake wars across the Middle East, Ukraine, and Russia, while your vital food and energy stores are being destroyed and purposely kept from you by this evil governing system. ‘You’ are voluntarily tolerating and approving advanced AI, 24/7 surveillance, biometrics, mass data collection, total digitization, currency destruction, and hyper inflation without the least bit of actionable resistance. ‘You’ are tolerating a complete abandonment of morality in favor of unlimited perversion. ‘You’ have turned over your children to the State whores, who are actively promoting transgenderism, homosexuality, and gender change surgery.
In the process of all this absurd madness, ‘you’ are lining up to vote for the absolute worst of mankind to continue to rule, control, and lord over you. ‘You’ are begging for even more rule, and knowingly desirous of new political masters, ‘thinking’ they will be your saviors. Stupidity at this level signals the end of times, due only to self-imposed serfdom; bondage at the hands of depraved political scum whose only goal is to eliminate most of you, while using the rest as indentured servants.
This is all gullibility on steroids, it is mindless and complicit followers marching into the gas chambers, it is voluntary slavery, it is the epitome of mass psychotic indoctrination, and it is the death of intellect as this country and the world head into a neo-feudal technocratic prison environment.
The solution, the only solution; lies in the hands of each and every individual. Nothing will be accomplished politically, nothing will be accomplished by collective mobs, nothing will be solved by protest, looting, and civil war as that is criminal, nothing will change due to passive obedience, ‘hope,’ or prayer. Only by individuals coming to terms with the truth, and acting on that knowledge independently and en masse, can change this deadly course in which we find ourselves today.
“People will believe anything.
Except, it seems, the truth.”
