Each of us attempt to live through life the best way we may with what we have to make do with our own personal events. For most of us it seems unimportant what governments may have done and may do, what actions other people take, what teachers instruct, what services are rendered or taken away, and how information is disseminated, until these matters somehow directly affect our lives or the lives of those we are concerned. Most of the time what society does seems distant to us. But, are they really?
For those of you who have seen the movie "The Matrix", you may recall an imaginary science fiction film about people struggling against mechanical parasites which create a virtual fantasy world for their human hosts. Such a matrix world appears a terrible delusion, yet such a world may have been subconsciously imagined from a glimpse of our own reality. Certainly we do not live in a realm that is totally illusionary, but we do live in a society where we are continually subjected to what others want us to believe. This writing is not an episode about another conspiracy theory; it merely acknowledges something eerie going on with our lives and about the bureaucracies which influence us. We are controlled by people so covert most of us have no clue as to who these people are among us. From the moment we open our eyes to see and clear our ears to listen what is going on out there in the world, we become exposed to the ways of the "System".
The System has been defined by several names. For example, among minorities they are often referred to as "the man", to conspiracy buffs they are called: "the Illuminati" or "the Secret Society", to political concerns they maybe called "the Industrial Complex". No matter what these who are members of the System may call themselves, they attempt to have a foothold on everything and everyone in whatever we do, however insignificant you may think of this.
The System regulates what we will see, hear, feel, smell, and breathe. Though our world is not a virtual reality, it is filled with many illusions, deceptions, propaganda to steer us, omissions of facts hidden from us, and outright lies to keep us from knowing truths. Whether we read the newspaper, turn on the radio, or click on the television we are bombarded with images the System wants us to believe. The System surrounds us with networks to protect and conceal their intentions. They inundate us with talk shows on the television and radio so we can vent our frustrations and empathize with others whom struggle unanswered questions about everything from the simple things to complex issues. Every so often, the System will build our hopes with new political icons to champion our causes, while these puppets have already had strings attached to them. The System controls most of our politicians; and the ones they can not harness they will eliminate them. Yes, they choose who will live and who will die.
Do any of you really believe the President of the United States of America has power over the government, except for that which is allotted by the System? There are issues the President is not privy and can not administer, but the System does. The System has their hands upon almost all governments, institutions, and leaders throughout the world. Once a person is seen under the radar of the System, they will says who will be appointed, who will recognized, and who will be allowed to have status. They fabricate the world around us; what we see is what they want us to see.
We live in a make believe world. Fortunately for many of us, what we do and how we live is typically undervalued under the System's microscope. They have already set controls to restrict us to where they want us and how much they want us to prosper; like in the "Matrix" they thrive upon our energy while they feed upon us.
Knowing the System is there will not change your life at all, you are considered insignificant. You are another of the many guinea pigs in their experimental mazes, to use and abuse whenever they choose. But it is good for you to know your position in life; that it is not what it may appear to be; but that it forever remains important to each of us individually.
I believe as more of us begin to know the state of our existence, to know there are those who contemplate their manipulation over us, to know we are watched and controlled, we can evoke change to our circumstances. The System exists because we have given them the power to do so. When we have had enough, we must elect new leaders and persuade incumbent leaders to regain the reigns of our establishments from the System. We must convince future leaders we do not want to live in an illusionary world which voices freedom as poetry, while we are suppressed by the powers that are hidden from us. We must appoint leadership that will defend and protect us from those whom want to disfigure what we relish to see, hear, feel, smell and breathe…to really live the freedom we long to live as it is felt in our hearts.
Perhaps the System is an imaginary beast that represents every possible invisible fascist organization which wants to rule our world. But no matter whether they are real or unreal, our burden will be the same, to prevent their existence. Through our thoughts we secure our hope of liberty; for no one can take those away from us…at least not yet.
