As
reality slips away, you see can the simulacrum forming
and sucking millions of people into the vortex.
The
progress of a simulacrum is that it starts with a
reflection of a profound reality, then masks it, and
then unties it from reality entirely.
Thus, a simulacrum is anti-realty.
When
people enter into this "Twilight Zone" state, you can
lie to them with impunity and they won't know the
difference.
How can you prevent your own capture into this
simulacrum?
First, maintain a touchstone on the outside, like
the Bible.
Second, consciously reject any lie or falsehood.
Third, always keep an eye on who is behind the
simulacrum.
The
next 3-4 years will be fierce as reality retreats into
oblivion for billions of people worldwide, creating a
soul-crushing tyranny.

The world is heading quite rapidly toward tyranny...!
We are in a revolutionary
period that will dramatically change civilization. Few people
understand the gravity of our situation.
Here are some of the
reasons why the majority of people seem oblivious to the danger. These psychological
shortcomings explain why we are sleepwalking into tyranny.
The
Normalcy Bias,
"is a cognitive
bias that occurs in times of crisis, leading us to disregard any
signs or warnings that we are in danger.
...Normalcy
bias is a defense mechanism that lulls us into thinking life
will just continue as it always has."
It is a reassuring
presumption that things will get better, or, at least things will
not take a dramatic change for the worse.
But steady progress
is not the way the world works.
History is a story of the rise and
fall of civilizations.
Tyranny,
poverty, and servitude are the normal state of mankind, and it
would not be difficult at all to return to that state...
The pattern of
history is that humans make some progress, and then evil men do evil
things and stupid men do stupid things, and the civilization
crumbles.
The normalcy bias
can stop people from seeing this.
You may have
confidence in constant improvement because the people you know are
good, productive people who are kind to others. You assume that most
people are like that.
But you need to
notice that there are also evil people who have decided that their
role is to manage your life...
They are self-appointed shepherds, and
they see you as their sheep.
This is the essence of tyranny...!
If these evil
people are also foolish, they may think that they can manage the
world economy and force all the "little" people to act in a way that
creates utopia... a great leap 'forward'...
Centrally managed
economies have been tried many times.
They always fail, often
spectacularly...
Masses of people
can also be detached from reality by the
Conformity Bias, which also goes by several other names.
Ayn Rand
called it
Social Metaphysics...
People with this
cognitive defect look to their social group to tell them what is
true.
There is no
independent critical thinking.
This is the
lazy person's way of acquiring his view of reality.
It is the dream
of any tyrant to have a population that acquires its beliefs
this way.
If a political
faction can be lied to with impunity, and if blind acceptance of the
lies is required to maintain membership in the group, that is a
powerful means of control.
A group like that
could be expected to believe, for example,
that a man could choose
to be a woman and even have a baby...
They could be told
that "the border is secure" at a time when
millions and
millions of people are streaming in.
They could be
told that Trump said white supremacists are fine people, etc...
There are no limits
to the lies when the target audience is essentially
detached from reality.
In the book
1984, George Orwell
symbolized this by showing that the model citizens readily accepted
the government decree that 2+2=5.
Many of the
lies of the left are equally absurd.
They are direct
contradictions of what we know to be true.
Alexander
Solzhenitsyn and Václav Havel, two brilliant antagonists
of tyranny, said that simply and steadfastly telling the truth was a
fundamental weapon that citizens should use against tyrants.
Solzhenitsyn
said,
"The simple
step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the
lie. One word of truth outweighs the world."
The third
unfortunate human trait that favors tyrants was explained by
Aldous Huxley.
Huxley and Orwell
each wrote novels predicting a dystopian future.
Orwell's
prediction involved a substantial amount of fear and coercion,
but Huxley predicted a relatively smooth and easy transition to
tyranny.
Huxley said,
the
population would be distracted with trivial pleasures and would
hardly notice the prison being built around them...
He brilliantly
foresaw how a society could sleepwalk into tyranny.
These Huxley
quotes demonstrate his prescience.
Huxley said,
"There will be
[a] dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of
painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people
will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will
rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire
to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced
by pharmacological methods.
And this seems
to be the final revolution."
He said,
"By means of
ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the
democracies will change their nature; the quaint old
forms... will remain.
The underlying
substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism...
[T]he ruling
oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen,
thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the
show as they see fit."
Huxley imagined,
"a prison
without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of
escaping.
It would essentially be a system of slavery where,
through consumption and entertainment, the slaves
would love
their servitude."
He believed that,
"[t]he greater
part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads
responsibility, and... is perfectly happy to let itself be
ruled."
Huxley correctly
predicted,
"a vast mass
communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the
true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less
totally irrelevant.
[The media will
cater to] man's almost infinite appetite for
distraction..."
He knew that both
poor education and perpetual crisis would enable tyranny, writing,
"Children are
nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from
false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements."
And,
"[l]iberty, as
we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on
a war footing, or even a near war footing.
Permanent
crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything
by the agencies of central government."
While most people
are not paying attention,
most of the key elements protecting
freedom and prosperity are now under attack by people who wish to
control our country and the world.
Globalist leaders
wish to,
-
put an end
to national sovereignty
-
enforce a "New World Order"
-
control information
-
put an
end to free speech
-
give
the WHO worldwide
dictatorial power on major health choices
-
ban our only reliable
sources of energy
-
impose a digital currency that will allow
complete monitoring and
control of
every single citizen with a Chinese-style social credit system.
At home, the U.S.
is in the "looting
the treasury phase" of empire collapse.
Our military is
weak,
woke, and overextended.
The dominant
media
function as a branch of the Democrat party.
The upper
levels of the Justice Department also function as a branch of
the Democrat party.
Anti-white
racism is widely taught and supported by the government.
These are not
'conspiracy theories'... The evidence is mostly out in the open...!
The people who are
planning to be your future 'masters' are not worried about
stating their plans,
because the vast majority of people are distracted with
their trivial amusements.
They are busy
watching ball games and movies and smartphone screens...
The mental
weaknesses discussed above have created a culture ripe for the
taking, oblivious and unconcerned about the things that really
matter.
People can ignore
important things... but they cannot escape the consequences of
ignoring important things.
The price of
liberty is eternal vigilance.
That price has
not been paid.
Not at all.
So here we are,
at the brink...
