The media landscape, especially TV and Hollywood, reinforce the idea of benevolent government. V for Vendetta dares to suggest that the government enacted terrorism on its people, the classic exemption from the rule. Brazil, Terry Gilliams modernized take on Orwell's 1984 shows us the madness of institutionalised data collection and terrorist hunting. The majority of stories, however, doesn't leave the magic framework of benevolent government.

In Hollywood, the bad guy could never win. On this planet, the bad guys still make the rules, disguised as infallibly good and sheltered by myths glorifying them. One of these rules forbids challenging the legitimacy of government and the extend of its powers.

The challenge happens nevertheless, especially if governments act very arbitrarily and obviously not in the interest of their populace. And governments, especially those which call themselves democratic, embrace this opposition to a certain degree.

Rebellion morphs into a consumerist stream, and feeds the democratic myth of the diversity of allowed opinions. This trend, among many others, can be observed, used, controlled and follows the patterns of a fashion trend more than those of direct action.

Even the Matrix or V for Vendetta offer nothing but a new messiah, the single bringer of hail who liberates us all. Although these movies help understanding the virtual nature of consensus reality, both retell the story of the mystical saviour.

I don't think that another Jesus will come and heal our blood-thirsty society. A single guy (or gal) would pose no threat to the clique of bad guys that run the planet. Unless he or she has some cool super powers, of course.

I don't think there is a 'red pill', either. Going through the rabbit hole, seeing through the matrix, does not happen instantly, it just starts a different way in which we perceive information. Insight takes time and requires experience, yet avoiding the matrix even temporarily proofs very difficult.

This explains partly the fascination and the success of cults. Anyone can show examples for the distorted media representation of reality, and provide an alternative reality. Well, it certainly requires some work to construct a convincing alternative reality, but Ron Hubbard did very successfully so not too long ago.

Most cults take good care of the influences from the rest of society and maintaining an alternate reality. The global dictators appear as meta-player in this game, providing the elements of the myth of normality. Instead of focussing on a singular explanation of reality the puppet masters use the diversity of opinion as main distraction from the search for inner truth.

The ideal slave creates its ever growing economic dependency by avid consumption, excused as attempt to express its identity. Taxes and inflation help consolidating common wealth in the pockets of a few bankers and their collaborators.

The bankers, or more specifically, those who maintain monetary policy and issue printed money, play a game in which they can only win. Meanwhile, they determine how much money circulates through the hand of those who created their parasitic wealth.

Most people keep themselves sufficiently busy with running after money or planning how to spend it. They consider money as something natural, and not as a tool in the grip of few people who use it shamelessly for their own good.

Money and its quasi god like status would suffer immensely when the nefarious character of its primary keepers becomes more obvious. Nobody can afford a better PR machinery than the global banking elite, and they easily make it into the editorial part as well. Not too mention their legal departments that could sue me to eternity for defamation as soon as I get specific.

A great deal of federal and international legislation protects the monopoly to print money and to lend it to the governments of this world. Creating and living a new currency system can demonstrate the validity of alternative approaches to deal with money. Once the current systematic redistribution of economic energy lost its flair of inevitability, the parasites can be held accountable, and largely disowned.

The appeal of the the mass illusion for the Western societies vanishes, yet the three pillars of suppression, government, corporation and banking system, remain for many holy cows. I still every now and then devour a tasty steak.
