Thanks so much @richq11! I've read your articles on the Tavistock abomination with great interest; much of it I was already aware of, but some of it was new to me, so thanks again :-) There's one problem I have, not just with this particular conspiracy but with all of them; Ockham's razor. In my eyes, all the shady shadow government and think tank business that's done in the background, well out of our field of view, is just a continuation of a 10,000 year old "conspiracy". The video in your second post mentioned "bread & circuses", it speaks of the use of mass psychology to fragment (divide) society, and to normalize the population's place at the bottom-rung of that society while it is ruled by a handful of "exceptional men" at the top (divide & rule); don't you think that these strategies have been used by our rulers since times immemorial? I do. The ones ruling the oligarchy of today are no different than the feudal lords, kings, emperors, mercantile masters or pharaohs of ancient yesteryear. The means have become more nefarious as technology and science progressed, but strategies and goals have remained largely unchanged. The only difference is scale; the globalized economy has made the Lord's domain the entire planet instead of just one country, kingdom or empire. Now here's my problem: where, in all these conspiracy theories, is Adam Smith? If we're talking about a system, designed by those who look down upon us as their chattel, that "naturally" creates a handful of capital owners at the top of the "meritocracy", and at the same time atomizes the general population through mass psychology and the deification of individualism, capitalism checks all the marks. Capitalism is designed to be the drug of the people, convincing them that they are "free" (freedom is slavery) through the rule of "voluntary exchange", and keeping them ignorant of the reality that there is no such thing in a society where some own all the means of production with the rest of us forced to work for them; the winners in this system are our modern feudal lords, they make up the top of the oligarchy. But instead of criticizing this very obvious suspect, I see in all these conspiracy theories a critique of the only system that would break the lord's hold on us, the only system with the goal of erasing the divide between the classes by making the means of production the ownership of those who do the labor; slaves, serfs and now wage-slaves, capitalism is simply a clever continuation of that age-old class divide. Yet, in almost all of these theories, communism and socialism are painted as a nefarious plot to fool the masses to buy into a system that runs under an almighty state, when in fact communism calls for the abolition of the state entirely; it is in fact the only system in which true freedom can be reached. Looking over the entire recorded human history, I see no change happening for millennia and that's because we indeed are brainwashed into thinking we're free while we're still living as serfs. But it's nothing new, nothing mysterious; the divine right of kings provided by the clergy is the same as the "philanthropic" billionaires setting up foundations and think tanks. Nothing special. So, while I appreciate the calling out of our modern slaveholders, and agree with much of the Tavistock-, Illuminati- and New World Order conspiracy theories, I'd much rather see them making us aware of what I've just briefly summarized. Edward Bernays isn't an evil genius, but rather a useful tool (or fool) in the hands of those who are after more power. Don't give "them" the pleasure of explaining away the criticisms aimed against them as foolish conspiracy theories, don't even try to tie all this to bloodlines or a mysterious cabal headed by the 13 families of the Illuminati; while some of that may well be true, it isn't helping the cause of "red-pilling" the masses, and it pushes to the background the much simpler explanation that is the continuation of human history and human cultural evolution.

To briefly come back to your very interesting posts on the Tavistock abomination, you might be interested in this video talking about how gangster rap was pushed by the prison industrial complex and the CIA. Mind you, this is the kind of anecdotal evidence I don't hold in very high regard, but like the Tavistock abomination there's bound to be a kernel of truth in there; the commercial success of gangster rap (something I personally like btw) has many similarities with the sudden breakthrough of The Beatles. But again, even if this is all true, it fits neatly into our larger history and cultural evolution; culture has almost always been largely dictated from the top...

I hope you don't mind me rambling on too much :-)

Thanks again my friend, and keep well!
