What's the old line about taxation without representation? Does anyone feel represented in Washington, or any other western capital? There is the form of representation but no substance.
This urge to obey without question, to submit to authority no matter how absurd, unjustified, or observably incompetent it is, is childish. Mature humans cooperate, and they do so within social hierarchies, but they do so because they choose to do so. They can withdraw their cooperation at any time. The chieftain may be the leader of the commitatus, but he does so merely as primus inter pares; the warriors who swore their fealty to him may withdraw their support should the chieftain break the oaths on the basis of which their fealty was sworn.
That is not how the weak, deceptive worms that have usurped the leadership of our social order see it, of course. Knowing full well that they deserve no respect for their persons, they demand respect for their offices; and ban all challenge as they know they cannot survive any challenge. To defend their rule they take steps to make sure the ruled are too weak to challenge them, and this has succeeded in many cases, but at the cost that the rulers have themselves become even weaker. Eventually, they will be too frail to hold on to power, and the cycle will begin again.

Earlier today my wife and I were enjoying a coffee in our garden and while I was gazing up at all the aircraft flying high above the ground ( we live under an air corridor) wondering where they were all going, my eye caught three buzzards high up soaring on thermals. Two were showing off to a third, probably female :) and gave us both a wonderful aerobatic display. My point? The world of nature neither knows or cares.
Everyone needs to wake up to the fact that we are robot slaves. This is the true Awakening. We've been programmed to obey our programs. There is also a sub-program in there that makes us believe we are human. We are not. There is no free will. We are robots rolling down a hill. What we call free will is the random selection of a very small set of thoughts within a narrow range of possibility. That is what our ostensible freedom is, a form of trickery to keep us in the dark. A French cyberneticist once said that we are not robots, but act like robots every chance we get. His programming blocked him from the realization that the reason that we act like robots is because we are robots.
Dr Hughes- Do you know where the info is about the Tick Bourne illness that causes people to be allergic to red meat and how the elites may want to use it to curb our meat consumption? Wondering if you saw that? Or anyone else? Would love a link. I can’t remember where I read it.

Great post.
> This inversion of reality doesn't work without our active, continual surrender
Interesting take.
I see it slightly differently. Instead of "active", I think it is because we are "inactive", that we unknowingly surrender.
The problem is that we don't crystalize (or "peg") our "expectations" and are typically complacent.
The problem is one of "Control Theory". We have no well defined set-point that we actively monitor.
Without a set-point we are simply tossed around like a ship in a storm. Most people are comfortable with that.
Wow!! Perfectly stated facts!
Don't feel bad, Monica, I'm working on a damn leaking sink line!
GOD as my witness, I hate plumbing repairs!
ALMOST as much as I hate COMMUNISTS.
