Is Big Brother Watching You?
Editorial Commentary by Lithium
Of the Dark Council
The old civilizations claimed they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy -- everything.
An imaginary 1984 pictured by George Orwell in his book: "Nineteen Eighty Four".
You may laugh at the future that George Orwell predicted, that of a society of tyrants, destroying humanity and keeping them under grip. Yet that is exactly what is happening to our world today. Every government in the world has the power to control, manipulate and eavesdrop on it's citizens. Every police force or secret service has the power to arrest, detain and even have you murdered, in the name of "justice". And the scary thing is, they aren't afraid to use it.
Most people place censorship, extreme propaganda, and subliminal advertising as something that only happens in countries such as Iraq, Cuba, or the USSR. Yet it happens everywhere in the world, France, England, Germany, and Canada, all so called "developed" nations. And yes, the worst offender of them all is my souther neighbour, the United States of America.
Unknown to them, the people of these countries live under a conspiracy, a conspiracy of politicans searching for power. A conspiracy of businessmen grabbing out of the working man's pocket. And a conspiracy to keep an empire -- built by the power of nuclear weapons and multinational corporations -- in the hands of the United States and it's capitalist allies.
You may laugh at me, and deny these facts. Yet by doing so, you are only proving the extent that nationalist, greed driven propaganda has had on you.
In former U.S. President Eisenhower's memoirs, he wrote:
My feeling was then, and still remains, that it would be impossible for the U.S. to maintain the military commitments which it now sustains around the world did we not possess atomic weapons and the will to use them when necessary.
What this amounts to is a large American controlled empire. An empire controlled by business interests and military power. These commitements that President Eisenhower spoke are not other NATO countries or allies, they are COLONIES, colonies that dare not rebel against the iron hand of Uncle Sam. The U.S. has more than 25 of these "commitments". Commitments in which the government openly uses torture, capital punishment, propaganda, and mass executions to control there people and remain in power. One of these "colonies" was Iraq.
Yes, Iraq. The U.S. supported Iraq for many years, and the only reason for doing so was it's own business commitments. Iraq shakes off U.S. chains and attacks a U.S. PUPPET MONARCHY (don't give me this bullshit about "restoring freeom to Kuwait")? Threaten to "kick butt" (George Bush).
Where does the U.S. get off going against Iraq for something they have done so many times in the last twenty years? Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran/Iraq War, and Panama. What is the difference. All made some attempt to shake off colonialist shackles, and all ended up fighting a war against a country twice their size and power.
"So what?", you say, "Those people live thousands of miles away, why should I care?".
The reason you should care is that it is beginning to happen in the developed world as well. ESS, government crackdowns on phreaks, hacks, cracks, and anarchists, a large tendency towards nationalism all across North America, sinking economys, growing deficits, sickening culture, biased media, lies from politicians, loss of individual pride, racism, commercialization of music, art, and drama, and a general ignorance among the populations.
This is the festering wound in North American culture, and it is also the beginning of an unhealthy trend towards a cosmetic, controlled, yet efficient, world.
Read the letter section of your newspaper sometime. Listen to radio talk shows. Look at the political conversations on BBSs. What do you see? A disillusioned youth, growing up ignorant of the real problems.
It is time we all woke up and looked around and DID something about this world.
I don't mean singing some songs and sitting around smoking dope. No people, that isn't going to bring down the most corrupt society since the "Holy" Roman Empire. What is going to bring it down is an underground united with the public. New Utopians, people who are willing to destroy, and rebuild aftewards. Rebuild from the ground up, a society with the virtues that all mankind strives for -- Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
Tear down, anihilate, rebuild.
