Enough has been written about the enormous war going on behind the scenes. The latest skirmish is banning beach parties in Goa. It's quite clear that a massive and sustained assault is on, worldwide, to suppress people's freedom to speak, associate, to generally enjoy life.
Disillusioning us is a key ploy in all this and to repaint everything from festivities to history is straight out of the Goldstein handbook. Not to put too fine a point on it, we are being pushed around and dictated to. Aiding this has been, over two generations:
1. Driving wedges between people and their traditional support structures:
3. Rewriting history so that the traditionally revered personages are now questioned, reviled in some cases and at the least, marginalized … and all for a political agenda. Re-educating the population to accept the new status quo.
4. Slowly tightening the noose and criminalizing the common man by the introduction of a plethora of new legislation and codicils to the point where it is almost impossible not to transgress. Removing the right to think for oneself and to self-determination, on the grounds that it is illegal. Creating a “checkpoint and militarized” atmosphere, accustoming people to the sight of armed officers herding them into this place or that.
5. Provoking a Franz Ferdinand incident at intervals to increase the command and control, the reduction of people to serfdom and creating the preconditions for war, the state of affairs desired by the state.
Fighting back
Through a combination of self-interest, the survival instinct and sheer weariness, people are just not going to combine to prevent the above process. Most of us are extremely slow to get off our butts and do anything vaguely political. We're just not interested.
Most of the above has already taken place anyway and a good test of this is how far people would disagree with the ideas in Point 1 above.
Two generations ago, they would have been the norm, the way people thought and felt. It would ahve been unnecessary to even mention them.
There are ways to fight back without ending up on a table with electrodes:
A small start is:
I'll add others as they come to hand. The thing is, if we don't act now, it really will be too late to prevent this process. Already they have removed the mechanism for change, for example, in Britain, where the only legal right of the people is to throw out Brown and put in a Blair clone. Here too.
That ain't democracy in my book.
Disillusioning us is a key ploy in all this and to repaint everything from festivities to history is straight out of the Goldstein handbook. Not to put too fine a point on it, we are being pushed around and dictated to. Aiding this has been, over two generations:
1. Driving wedges between people and their traditional support structures:
a. In the west, the Judaeo-Christian ethic, Calvinistic hard work, the notion of hope, faith and charity, tolerance of good and intolerance of evil, the concept of loyalty given and returned, even by an institution, leading to a sense of identity and self-worth and the concept of decency.
A generation ago, people were by no means saints but there was at least a basic notion of what was acceptable and not acceptable, morally and ethically;
b. The family, with its traditional constraints and loyalties, duty towards the extended family, the idea of remaining a virgin until marriage, the leadership and teaching role of parents towards the children, the early instilling of values so that later in life, the child is equipped to face the world;
c. The state as a support structure for the less fortunate and a facilitator and supporter of free enterprise, with a goal of near full employment and an affordable home for each family. The idea of a sane unit cost to income ratio, so that a house cost five years’ gross wage. The notion of the state as our elected representatives who do our will;
d. Private property that one could work towards all one’s life, build up, enjoy in old age and then will to one’s family. The concept of inheritance from generation to generation;
e. A willingness to at least tolerate the other sex to the point where one compromised and showed respect, mostly, where one remained with one’s partner and worked out the problems, for the sake of the investment in family and in one’s children. Absence of misogyny and misandry for the most part;
The concept of chivalry, not to the point of knights on horseback and whiter than white damsels but in little things like giving up one’s seat, opening the door for the other and above all … listening to the other and trying to find common ground;
f. A sense of pleasure and joy in everyday pursuits, rather than a fear of losing everything, mass unemployment, mindless serfdom and disillusionment.
2. Gradually placing people in key positions in education, medicine, law, politics and the arts who would promote the restructuring of society, over two generations, to one such as we have today, where people are disenfranchised, dispossessed, disillusioned and anxious, less able to adequately cope, withdrawing back into the self and becoming infantilized and accepting of the nanny state.
And the blackest joke was that these people truly believed, were led to believe that they were promoting noble values and a fairer society.
3. Rewriting history so that the traditionally revered personages are now questioned, reviled in some cases and at the least, marginalized … and all for a political agenda. Re-educating the population to accept the new status quo.
4. Slowly tightening the noose and criminalizing the common man by the introduction of a plethora of new legislation and codicils to the point where it is almost impossible not to transgress. Removing the right to think for oneself and to self-determination, on the grounds that it is illegal. Creating a “checkpoint and militarized” atmosphere, accustoming people to the sight of armed officers herding them into this place or that.

There are ways to fight back without ending up on a table with electrodes:
1. Silent disobedience, Gandhi like and putting a spoke in the wheel of state in little ways. If enough people do this, then the state becomes unworkable;
2. Creation of groups and solidarity, e.g. Lech Wałęsa in Poland;
3. Revolution – a last resort when all else has failed [just don't be a ringleader].
A small start is:
Roots - reclaim Europe
