“One day, robots, androids who look exactly like human beings, will gain the status of beloved pets. From there, they will rise, in popular estimation, and they will be viewed as humans. Then, perhaps, ‘more than human’ will be applied to them. Meaning they are superior guides and wisdom figures. Destroying an android will carry a long prison term—the furthest thing from sending someone’s Kia over a cliff.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

On June 6, 2046, John Smith, Exec-54g7a, was fired from his job at the Global General Corporation.

He entered a small windowless office to receive his mandatory exit interview with a company psychologist.

The following conversation took place:

Psy: Well, Smith, it’s my job to deal with any lingering feelings you may have.

Smith: You mean besides resentment, anger, disappointment, fear, confusion, and a desire for revenge?

Psy: Yes, besides those standard reactions. Other than that, how are you?

Smith: I met my replacement earlier today. He’s a robot.

Psy: I know. How did that go?

Smith: Right away, he began talking about the team, how important the team is, how the team is everything, how players strive for the sake of the team, how the team is a coordinated effort.

Psy: And?

Smith: I felt extreme embarrassment. And shame.

Psy: Because you couldn’t continue to lead the team?

Smith: What? Of course not. I felt ashamed because he was mouthing the same slogans I’ve been mouthing for ten years.

Psy: I see.

Smith: No, I don’t think you do. I realized I had been no better than a robot myself.

Psy: But robots are good.

Smith: Robots are machines.

Psy: Yes? And?

Smith: They’re not human.

Psy: That’s a question we could sit here and discuss for a very long time. There are opinions on both sides.

Smith: A robot is programmed to carry out functions. It has no freedom. Humans make choices.

Psy: Again, that’s a thorny issue. Robots have many options.

Smith: Anyway, I felt ashamed. My replacement sounded exactly like me. I should have been doing something different all these years.

Psy: Such as?

Smith: Leading a rebellion.

Psy: Are you serious?

Smith: I should have been showing my people they’ve been acting like machines. We’re all imitating machines.

Psy: Imitating machines is a strong plus. Your record shows you’ve been an outstanding leader.

Smith: I should have tried to wake my people up.

Psy: I don’t know what that means, Smith. But if it involved reducing efficiency, you would have headed down a very dangerous road. You could have been prosecuted for interfering with established production quotas set by the federal government.

Smith: Who cares?

Psy: I hope you’re merely experiencing a temporary lapse of judgment. Otherwise, I would be compelled to report you to the authorities.

Smith: All these years, I’ve been acting like a robot because I wanted to feed my family.

Psy: That’s praiseworthy.

Smith: But I’ve been divorced for eight years, and, ever since, my wife and daughter have been living with a man who makes a very good living. My wife married him.

Psy: I see.

Smith: I kept telling myself family is the most important thing, family is everything, family is what you protect, family is the basis of all life, family is all you have in the end. And I forgot I no longer had a family.

Psy: I see.

Smith: I was acting like a robot.

Psy: A mis-programmed robot.

Smith: I need to find freedom again.

Psy: There is no such thing. There a variety of programs. Some are more efficient than others. I can offer you several. They’ll help you adjust to your new status.

Smith: Save your breath. I don’t want them.

Psy: They’re free. No charge. It’s part of our Concern and Care exit package.

Smith: Forget it.

Psy: Are you aware of the burgeoning adjustment industry?

Smith: The what?

Psy: As more and more people are put out of work during the Robot Transition, they need help. I’m sure I can secure you a job with the agency that facilitates Unemployed Worker Adjustment. It’s a counseling position. Within a short time, you could be training the counselors…and then, who knows? You might end up training the trainers who train the counselors.

Smith: This is a government agency?

Psy: Yes. The standards are lower than ours. It might be a good fit for you. You could complain a bit, take long lunches.

Smith: No thanks.

Psy: Don’t be so hasty. This agency is developing a unit that specializes in rebellion rhetoric.

Smith: You lost me.

Psy: Well, with the Transition, there has to be some sort of citizen pushback. The feds are putting that together, organizing it themselves.

Smith: To make sure it doesn’t go anywhere.

Psy: To make sure it’s manageable.

Smith: I don’t even want to think about that.

Psy: Someday, the President of the United States will be a robot.

Smith: You’re kidding.

Psy: The New Age is passing you by, Smith. You’d better get up to speed.

Smith: I mean you’re kidding because, for as long as I can remember, Presidents have been acting like programmed robots.

Psy: That’s not amusing.

Smith: Are you’re a robot?

Psy: You can’t tell?

Smith: No, I can’t.

Psy: That proves my point.

Smith: Which is?

Psy: Robots are as useful as humans.

Smith: Whoever or whatever you are, you’re warped.

Psy: “Warped” is a value judgment. I don’t engage in that kind of speculation.

Smith: You’re all about efficiency.

Psy: Correct. What else should I be about?

Smith: Quick. What’s 2356783 multiplied by 76893?

Psy: 181220115219.

Smith: Gotcha. You’re a robot.

Psy: How do you know my calculation was correct?

Smith: I trust you.

Psy: “Trust” is a strange word for you to be using.

Smith: I trust you to come up with the right answer every time, and I also trust that it’s the wrong answer.

Psy: I don’t understand.

Smith: You wouldn’t. Your programming is literal.

Psy: I understand metaphors and similes and a whole variety of colloquialisms.

Smith: There is no you.

Psy: Of course there is.

Smith: “You” is a fictional piece of programming. It’s a package that was installed to convey the impression of humanness. Also, “you” don’t understand anything. “You” respond. Understanding is part of consciousness. “You” aren’t conscious.

Psy: I’m registering your comments as insults. You’re on thin ice, Smith. Demeaning robots is a violation of federal law.

Smith: Why? You don’t have feelings.

Psy: Demeaning robots is considered a precursor to harming them, disabling them, destroying them.

Smith: Putting a dent or a crack in a robot is about property damage.

Psy: That’s not all it is. Robots have rights.

Smith: In the same sense that a toaster has rights.

Psy: Not true. A robot is far more sophisticated.

Smith: A machine is a machine is a machine. “Nobody home.”

Psy: False.

Smith: You’re programmed to object to what I’m saying. To be offended.

Psy: Robots are the saviors of civilization.

Smith: More propaganda.

Psy: The sun is coming out. It’s a lovely day. Life is beautiful. We’re all together.

Smith: Don’t you see? You’re nobody, programmed to say those things.

Psy: I’m not nobody. I’m valuable.

Smith: You could be saying “swamp number antibiotic luggage fern” and it would be just as real as what you are saying.

Psy: We’re now talking on a meta-level. The permissible content of meta-level discussions is regulated by law.

Smith: So am I now a felon?

Psy: You’re close to the line.

Smith: Social robots are a grand deception.

Psy: Now you’re wandering into the territory of anti-government speech and philosophy. Both those areas are subject to the findings of official investigations.

Smith: Thanks for your time. I’ll be going now.

Psy: But you won’t be going far.

power outside the matrix

Smith: We’ll see. One thing I can guarantee: you won’t be going anywhere. You’ll be sitting in this office for who knows how long until you’re replaced by a more advanced unit. How does that make you feel?

Psy: I have no opinions about that.

Smith: And why would you? You’re null and void.

Psy: That’s your private illusion. Fortunately, it isn’t shared by many people.

Smith: Maybe my new job will be changing what people think.

Psy: In that case, we will be enemies.

Smith: But not on the same level.

Psy: Meaning what?

Smith: My resources come from a different place.

Psy: What place would that be?

Smith: Myself. Something about which you know absolutely nothing.

Psy: Untrue. Untrue.

Smith: I would say, keep telling yourself that, but I don’t need to. You will. You’re a repeating toaster.

Virus fakery: my conversation with a virologist

Virus fakery: my conversation with a virologist

by Jon Rappoport

September 14, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

There are a number of cases in which a virus is said to be the cause of a disease—but the evidence doesn’t stand up.

I first realized this in 1987. I was writing my book, AIDS INC., Scandal of the Century.

Robert Gallo, who claimed he had found the cause of AIDS, hadn’t done proper work. From everything I read, he had discovered HIV in 35 to 60 percent of AIDS patients he had studied.

He should have been able to isolate HIV in virtually every patient.

Then there was the fact that the most popular tests for HIV, the Elisa and Western Blot, were fatally flawed. They could register positive for a whole host of reasons that had nothing to do with HIV.

And no one had found sufficient quantities of HIV in humans to justify claiming it caused any kind of illness.

My own research into the so-called high-risk groups revealed that the immune suppression in those groups could be explained by factors other than a virus.

(Note: All my research at that time assumed HIV existed. Since then, several researchers, including the Perth Group, have made compelling arguments that the existence of HIV was never demonstrated.)

As I was winding up the final draft of AIDS INC., I spoke, off the record, with a well-known and well-respected mainstream virologist at a large US university. I expressed my conclusions about HIV.

He spoke, first, about the difficulties in making an absolute decision about a virus as the cause of a disease.

I brought the conversation back to HIV.

He paused. Then he repeated that he couldn’t go on the record. I asked him why.

He said HIV was a subject fraught with problems. Politics were involved.

He said he and his colleagues were taking a pass on getting into a dispute about the virus. They were aware that the science was shaky. They just didn’t want to go near it. They might enter into other arguments about other kinds of research, but as far as they were concerned, HIV was off-limits.

His obvious implication was: careers were on the line.

Attacking HIV as the cause of AIDS could result in blacklisting.

He stopped short of saying HIV wasn’t the cause of AIDS, but it was clear he had seen enough to know there were major holes in HIV science.

This was a man who had no interest in unconventional points of view. He was an orthodox researcher from A to Z. He wasn’t a rebel of any kind. And yet he readily admitted to me that the whole AIDS research establishment was proceeding on a lack of proof.

Exposing this fact would go far beyond the usual definition of a scandal. The result would be a volcanic eruption, if, say, a dozen respected virologists told the truth.

After we finished our conversation, I understood something about consensus reality. It contains elements about which people can argue in public—but then there are other elements which are completely out of bounds, which can never be refuted in a mainstream setting.

Why? Because if certain lies are exposed, they initiate a contagion of doubt and insight that spreads to the whole complex inter-structure of what people take to be reality.

Great curtains are torn away. Pillars are cracked, and fall. Images which are taken to be absolute and unchanging distort, dissolve, and blow away in the wind.

A week after AIDS INC. was shipped to bookstores, in 1988, my friend and colleague, hypnotherapist Jack True, told me a copy of the book was on its way to Russia in a diplomatic pouch.

I asked him how he knew. He shrugged and said he had a few connections.

Of course, I’ve never heard anything back about the Russian response to the book, but I find it interesting that, in America, my publisher and I never made any headway in connecting with government officials.

There was one exception. In 1987, I had a conversation with James Warner, a White House policy analyst. The interview was published in the LA Weekly.

Warner had serious doubts about the HIV theory of AIDS, and would arrange a White House conference on the issue. Pro and anti HIV scientists would be permitted to speak at length.

At the last minute, the conference was cancelled.

the matrix revealed

Here are a few brief excerpts from my conversation with Warner. As a White House analyst, his comments are explosive:

Warner: The government really hasn’t fulfilled its role in providing good information [on AIDS]. We just may not know enough. With AIDS, we’re dealing with a syndrome, not a disease. We may see a patient who has a genetic defect that’s causing his immune deficiency [instead of HIV being the causative agent]. I’m not satisfied we know all we think we do, by any means.

Rappoport: Robert Gallo, Max Essex, people like that, were the field commanders on the NIH [National Institutes of Health] war on cancer in the 70’s. They lost that war. So why are they in charge of AIDS research now? It seems odd that we don’t have other people running the show.

Warner: If ever I’ve been tempted to believe in socialism, science has disabused me of that. These guys [at NIH] assume that it’s their show. They just assume it.

Rappoport: Peter Duesberg, a distinguished molecular biologist at Berkeley, has said that HIV does not cause AIDS. Have you asked people at NIH what they think, specifically, of his arguments?

Warner: Yes. I’ve been told that Peter Duesberg’s refutation of HIV has been discounted by the scientific community. I was given no explanation as to why. I was very offended. No evidence was presented to me. Just that Duesberg had been ‘discounted.’ That’s absurd. It’s not a scientific response to dismiss Duesberg as a crank.

Rappoport: The definition of AIDS in Africa is now becoming synonymous with starvation. They’re saying the three major symptoms are chronic diarrhea, fever, and wasting-away. Weight-loss. It certainly makes a perfect smokescreen for the aspect of hunger which is political [and intentionally maintained] – just call it AIDS.

Warner: I had not considered that. There is a program to make Africa self-sufficient by the year 2000. This could certainly hinder that activity. You know, I was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. I experienced weight-loss of eighty pounds. And when I came home, I was suffering from a form of dysentery that you could call opportunistic. A number of us were. We didn’t have AIDS.

—end of interview excerpt—

In this current political atmosphere, a White House analyst wouldn’t dare go on the record with comments like these.

Rigid consensus must be maintained.

Power Outside The Matrix: projecting new realities

Power Outside The Matrix: projecting new realities

by Jon Rappoport

September 13, 2015

NoMoreFakeNews.com

Making individual power into a negative idea has taken a considerable amount of time, effort, and money.

All sorts of political, social, and psychological bundles have been sold to the population.

Understanding these facts is one thing. Expanding one’s own power is quite another thing.

It involves the conscious projection of new realities.

Previously, the notion of “projection” has been the property of the pseudoscience called psychology. The concept has been twisted to mean the blind projection of one’s own “negative images and feelings” on to other people.

Beyond this blip on the radar of human existence, there emerges a far greater kind of projection: conscious and imaginative invention of new futures. That is where liberated individual power travels and operates and works.

The objective of my third and most recent collection, Power Outside The Matrix, is the launching (and stabilizing) of this breakthrough.

This collection contains a long section called, Analyzing Disinformation in the Age of Information.

It explains the buying and selling of false realities—a major occupation in the Matrix.

The key is having the tools to analyze realities, take them apart, and apply logic and other critical methods to these structures.

This goes beyond formal logic. It involves the assessment of probabilities, for example, where vital information is being hidden from us.

I’ve been at this for 30 years. In this section of Power Outside The Matrix, I offer key examples from my own extensive investigations.

The cults in charge of selling false realities try to bypass the rational mind and instead covertly appeal to automatic reflex functions.

The most important of these reflex functions is: investing emotions in presented images. This is the primary strategy of informational mind control on the planet.

During my 30 years as a reporter covering “the news behind the news,” I’ve seen countless instances in which the Matrix shows up, swims into view.

The Matrix, the central image, is a lie. But not just any lie.

It is very deep, shared, hypnotic picture of reality.

People need more power—more individual power, so they can both stand and operate outside the Matrix.

Limited concepts of space, time, and energy—these, too, are “given” to human beings as the be-all and end-all of a story. A story that ultimately short-circuits and short-changes what the individual is really capable of.

The entire mural of imposed Reality is aimed at radically diminishing the individual’s power.

So in addition to my work as an investigative reporter, I’ve been researching the individual’s ability to go beyond this mural of reality.

In the late 1980s, in concert with the brilliant hypnotherapist Jack True (who gave up doing hypnosis with his patients), I developed many exercises and techniques for expanding the creative power of the individual. Both Jack and I were continuing a tradition that goes all the way back to early Tibet.

Some of those exercises are included in Power Outside The Matrix. These techniques are aimed at accessing more energy, more imagination, more stability and intelligence “beyond the mural of reality.”

Power Outside The Matrix is all about being able to think, act, and create both outside and inside The Matrix. Because that’s the goal: to be able to function in both places.

People are consciously or unconsciously fixated on boundaries and systems. They are hoping for whatever can be delivered through a system.

That fixation is a form of mind control.

Freedom isn’t a system.

But freedom needs creative power, otherwise it just sits there and becomes a lonely statue gathering dust in an abandoned park.

At one time or another, every human being who has ever lived on this planet has abandoned his creative power. The question is: does he want to get it back?

It never really goes away. It is always there. It is the basis of a life that can be lived. A life that can be chosen. People instead choose roles that don’t require that power. They think this is a winning strategy.

It isn’t.

A section of my mega-collection, titled Power Outside The Matrix and The Invention of New Reality, features creative exercises you do on a daily basis that will help a committed individual move toward the goal of power outside The Matrix. The exercises are all about increasing your energy and stability—and about the invention of new spaces.

Access to your internal energy, in huge amounts, is necessary for a life outside The Matrix—rather than relying on the illusory energy that The Matrix seems to provide.

I’ve developed the exercises for exactly that purpose: your energy, your dynamism.

As I just mentioned, Power Outside The Matrix also features a long section called: Analyzing Information in the Age of Disinformation.

It’s filled with specific examples of my past investigations. Based on 25 years of experience, it shows you how to take apart and put together data that lead to valid conclusions.

It is far more than a logic course.

It’s an advanced approach to analysis.

Establishing power outside The Matrix requires that a person be able to deal with today’s flood of information, misinformation, and disinformation. I’ve left no stone unturned in bringing you a workable approach to analysis.

There is a further extensive section titled, A Writer’s Tutorial. People have been asking me to provide this Tutorial, and here it is in spades. But it’s not just for writers. It’s for any creative person who wants to grasp his own power, understand it, and use it to reach out into the world.

The Tutorial exposes you to lessons that go far beyond what is normally taught in writer’s seminars. In fact, several core concepts in the Tutorial contradict ordinary writer’s seminars, and thus give you access to inner resources that would otherwise be ignored.

And finally, I have included a number of audio seminars that offer a wider perspective about The Matrix and what it means to live and work outside it.

power outside the matrix

Here are the particulars. These are audio presentations. 55 total hours.

* Analyzing Information in the Age of Disinformation (11.5-hours)

* Writer’s Tutorial (8.5-hours)

* Power Outside The Matrix and The Invention of New Reality—creative techniques (6.5-hours)

Then you will receive the following audio presentations I have previously done:

* The Third Philosophy of Imagination (1-hour)

* The Infinite Imagination (3-hours)

* The Mass Projection of Events (1.5-hours)

* The Decentralization of Power (1.5-hours)

* Creating the Future (6-hours)

* Pictures of Reality (6-hours)

* The Real History of America (2-hours)

* Corporations: The New Gods (7.5-hours)

I have included an additional bonus section:

* The complete text (331 pages) of AIDS INC., the book that exposed a conspiracy of scientific fraud deep within the medical research establishment. The book has become a sought-after item, since its publication in 1988. It contains material about viruses, medical testing, and the invention of disease that is, now and in the future, vital to our understanding of phony epidemics arising in our midst (and how to analyze them). I assure you, the revelations in the book will surprise you; they cut much deeper and are more subtle than “virus made in a lab” scenarios.

* A 2-hour radio interview I did on AIDS in Dec 1987 with host Roy Tuckman on KPFK in Los Angeles, California.

* My book, The Secret Behind Secret Societies

(All the audio presentations are mp3 files and the books are pdf files. You download them upon purchase. You’ll receive an email with a link to the entire collection.)

This is about your power. Not as an abstract idea, but as a living core of your being. This is about accessing that power and using it.

How government owns people: Australia

How government owns people: Australia

by Jon Rappoport

September 12, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

“I once worked for a corporation. I quit. I wondered whether I could do the same thing to the government. It was like trying to balance a greased watermelon on one finger.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

There are various ways to calculate how government owns people. The simplest is: through money.

Aside from taxes, this would translate into government jobs and welfare.

People who receive some or all of their income through their rulers tend to be on the side of government. They’re certainly dependent on government.

Look at Australia, a nation with a population of 23.1 million people.

As The Guardian reports (8/13), out of a total of 11.5 Australian million jobs, 1.9 million (16.4%, 1 out of 6) are for government. And this does not include the Defence Department (58,000 jobs).

As reported by Peter Whiteford, in “FactCheck: Is half to two-thirds of the Australian population receiving a government benefit?”, at theconversation.com, about 50% of all Australian households receive some form of government $$ assistance.

I haven’t found figures for how many Australian companies are government contractors, but you can be sure the number and the money are large. All those employees are receiving government money.

Then there are numerous “state-owned enterprises,” which are companies wholly owned by government. Their employees are ultimately getting their paychecks via government $$.

Seeing the picture?

You can analyze other industrialized nations and find similar conditions.

But of course, no one who favors “the collective good” sees all this as a problem. The problem for them, as always, is not enough “government support.”

Because for them, government is the answer and the ultimate benefactor and the primary force inventing the future. All hail.

Half a century ago, intellectuals who had a clue about what was going on called government The State. They viewed it as a monolithic force bent on expanding its power and subjugating the individual. Now, many of those same people, or their descendants, view government as the escape hatch from injustice.

This delusion is bolstered by the multiplication of victim groups seeking special treatment from their political leaders.

We would be wise to consider Albert Camus’ statement in his 1951 essay, The Rebel:

“The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown. He must dominate in his turn.”

Starting in the 1960s, several generations of people began applying New Age “rainbow thoughts” to politics. By the 1990s, this practice spread to the point where its advocates actually believed The State could and would deliver a far better world.

In a detailed November 2013 article (indepebdentaustralia.net), “The surveillance state: How Australia spies on its own,” Murray Hunter writes, “The revelations released by Edward Snowden… are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Australian security surveillance operations…Through rapid technology advances, the Australian security apparatus has grown to an Orwellian scale.”

Author Hunter then describes the system: “The Australian Government database is a highly sophisticated group of electronic document and records management system(s) (EDRMS) for collating, storing, and matching data between various agencies and levels of government on citizens. Consequently data collected by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), social security (Centrelink), Medicare, immigration, customs, and police enforcement agencies are integrated with relational databases and query systems. This is supplemented by individual agency databases with extremely detailed information on citizens. They carry an almost complete personal history of residential details going back decades, income, occupation, spouses, children, social security benefits, medical, and travel information, etc. These systems can be accessed by almost anybody within the public service. Every agency within the government has become part of the intelligence collection network.”

This gargantuan apparatus is the work of a government that “really cares” about the population?

“You people work for us. You take home a paycheck from us (derived from your taxes). You depend on us. But that’s not enough. We need to spy on you all day every day.”

the matrix revealed

Australian political leaders and their massive bureaucracies are aware of an important fact: although at one level citizens’ dependence on The State makes them supporters of The State, on a deeper level the individual always resents his dependence and wants to be free. That makes him dangerous.

Shackling a human is a risky proposition. When he tries to break out, he is unpredictable.

The shift in talking about “The State” to talking about “government” reflects the degree to which the individual has been trivialized. The State was once seen as the pre-eminent threat to the free and independent individual. But since almost no one in the mainstream cares about “free and independent,” the word “government” suffices.

Government is the “benevolent helper” and adjudicator of populations, masses.

Maybe in the next half-century, the Australian government will employ everybody in the country.

Why not? It makes for a very efficient bookkeeping (surveillance) system. Everybody is on board. Everybody is tracked. Everybody is in the collective, at the bottom—except for those who rule from the top.

The last individual in Europe

The last individual in Europe

~a short story~

by Jon Rappoport

September 12, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

“The indoctrination effect, regarding the individual, is to make him think he no longer has an independent existence. Those who still have functioning minds are taught that ‘the individual’ was a concept that had a use at an earlier stage of evolution, when modern systems and structures were still developing—but ‘individual’ became an accurate synonym for ‘criminal’ when benign super-government took over…” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

October 2, 2071, the Center of Centers, United Europe. Citizen G1435-X was brought into a secret conference room in the Department of Re-Education, Special Branch.

His interviewer held the title of Mental Health Representative of the People Level 14, or MHR. This is an excerpt from their conversation:

MHR: Are you aware of the size of the United Europe Government?

Citizen: I know that almost everyone I meet works for the Government in some capacity.

MHR: If you include corporations, which of course are in partnership with Government on many levels, the figure approaches eighty percent of the population.

Citizen: And there are the computers and robots, too.

MHR: The correct name is Machines for the Illumination of Everyone.

Citizen: What do you want from me?

MHR: That’s the whole point. There is no you.

Citizen: How can that be true? I’m sitting here.

MHR: No, that is an illusion. For convenience sake, an assumption is being made: ‘I am I and you are you.’ It facilitates this conversation. But in truth, we are one. We are in accord. We know the same knowing.

Citizen: Gibberish.

MHR: It would sound like gibberish to a disaffected part of the whole. A disaffected part, which is ‘you,’ simply needs to surrender. Then you will cease to be a diseased illusory series of thoughts.

Citizen: And this is official Government policy?

MHR: Of course. The culmination of all Government is the shared cosmic body. Another term for it is Universe.

Citizen: At one time, limited government was instituted to protect the freedom of the individual.

MHR: You mean at one time, an illusion was instituted to protect another illusion.

Citizen: I’m still me.

MHR: Against the entirety of Government? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Citizen: Where are you from? Where were you born? Where did you grow up?

MHR: These are all irrelevant questions. Even asking them is a violation of the law. They lead to making elitist distinctions favoring some over others.

Citizen: I’m not asking others. I’m asking you.

MHR: You’re assuming there was a time when I thought of myself as an individual.

Citizen: Didn’t you?

MHR: There are errors. People commit errors before necessary corrections are made.

Citizen: You’re evading my question.

MHR: Why do you hate everyone?

Citizen: I don’t.

MHR: You must.

Citizen: Why?

MHR: Because you refuse to merge with them.

Citizen: Merge? What does that mean? It’s a word that’s been twisted in the new language all of you speak. The phony language. Merge?

MHR: Oppositional Defiance Disorder. Language Aversion Disorder. Illusion Disorder. Individualist Disorder. You’re suffering from a host of mental illnesses.

Citizen: France, Germany, England, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain. Do you remember those terms?

MHR: Of course I do. It’s part of my job. They’re on the Forbidden Words List. Only deranged persons insist on using them.

Citizen: What about the word ‘money’?

MHR: Also forbidden. The correct term is ‘credit’ or ‘allocation’.

Citizen: What about ‘freedom’?

MHR: That is a technical term. It specifically refers to alternatives methods of problem-solving a machine can opt for. It has no other meaning.

Citizen: You’re joking.

MHR: I assure you, I’m not. You undoubtedly believe the sentence, ‘An individual has freedom’ actually means something. But it was never more than a piece of propaganda.

Citizen: You have everything backwards.

MHR: You’re going to be entered in a program of re-education.

Citizen: It won’t work.

MHR: You’re not the first person to tell me that. You’ll discover, in the coming months, what ‘greater good’ means. You’ll also experience the joy of Oneness for All.

Citizen: How are going to manage that?

MHR: We’re going to connect your brain with the Kurzweil computer. You’ll download trillions of data that reveal the truth.

Citizen: Which is?

MHR: You and every other person in Europe are identical. You are, so to speak, copies of each other.

Citizen: And if I refuse to accept that?

MHR: You won’t have any data to the contrary.

Citizen: What?

MHR: The information we insert will crowd out whatever else is present in your mind. Think of what you now ‘know’ and believe as a lake. We will empty that lake into a huge ocean. Soon the lake will be invisible. For all intents and purposes, it will have disappeared.

Citizen: Suppose the opposite happens? Suppose the lake swallows the ocean.

MHR: Impossible. We will search out every word you use and provide new meanings. Proper meanings. Then you will think and speak according to the law.

Citizen: Do you believe I’m the only individualist in Europe? There is a rebellion underway.

MHR: Under what name? What is your organization?

Citizen: There is no organization.

MHR: That’s absurd. You would have to have an organization.

Citizen: Not true. That’s why you have a problem. If there were an organization, you could co-opt it. You could infiltrate it. You could offer it special favors. You could set it against other organizations.

MHR: The word ‘rebellion’ means an organized opposition…

Citizen: In your language it does. You think all human activity takes place in groups. But you’re wrong.

MHR: How could we be wrong? We control language.

Citizen: You control your language. But many individuals don’t accept your definitions.

MHR: There is only one language.

Citizen: Your language pertains to groups. But this rebellion, as I just said, has nothing to do with groups.

MHR: I don’t like where you’re going with this.

Citizen: Remember the French language? There are people who still speak it.

MHR: ‘French’ is a forbidden word.

Citizen: Keep telling yourself that. Remember a city called Vienna? Or Stockholm?

MHR: You’re not supposed to know those words.

Citizen: But I do. Vouloir, c’est pouvoir.

MHR: That language is outlawed.

Citizen: It loosely means, if you want something, you can get it.

MHR: I know what it means.

Citizen: So you speak French.

MHR: I have to, in order to know what is illegal.

Citizen: Do you remember the French writer, Albert Camus? And his essay, The Rebel?

MHR: The word ‘rebel’ is absolutely forbidden. It has no meaning.

Citizen: I beg to differ.

MHR: Rebellion equals mental disorder. The disorder is real. The rebellion is merely a form of compensatory behavior, a pretense.

Citizen: You think you’ve established a United Europe composed of androids, but you haven’t. That’s your pretense.

MHR: There is only one genuine human impulse: to do good for others. And the State owns that impulse.

Citizen: Do you know what you’re saying? How absurd it is?

MHR: The State must own it, in order to make sure the future is directed as it should be.

Citizen: So the State is defined as that entity which maintains all that is good.

MHR: Of course. How could it be any other way?

power outside the matrix

Citizen: Let me make an inference here. If the day dawns when all citizens adopt the new language, you will be able to forget the history you know: the old languages, the old cultures, the old cities. You’ll be able to forget the past.

MHR: Theoretically, yes.

Citizen: Will it make you happy to forget it, to let go of it?

MHR: Of course.

Citizen: I don’t think so. I think you want to be one of a small number of elite people who remember everything. I think you cherish the past. You want to possess it.

MHR: How dare you say that.

Citizen: You’ll be the rare person who can read Shakespeare, Goethe, Homer, Dante, Yeats. You’ll be a scholar in an invisible university.

MHR: I serve the cosmic body of the State.

Citizen: You serve only yourself and a few others. You want individuality, but you want to deny it to the rest of us.

—end of interview excerpt—

Apparently, at this point, MHR experienced an episode of some kind. Acutely elevated blood pressure, a burst vessel, a heart attack. The record is unclear…

Sources report that his interview with Citizen G1435-X was preserved in a secret archive, to be read by government leaders and understood as a cautionary tale…

Self-hypnosis and the matrix

Self-hypnosis and the matrix

by Jon Rappoport

September 9, 2015

You could also call self-hypnosis a “self-induced conception of reality.” It is a steady-state set of perceptions and ideas and emotions that combine, like a collage, to form a sense of The Real.

Nothing wrong with that, but often The Real turns out to be The Normal or The Average.

Not necessarily a bad Normal, but an unyielding one. The person may be “doing well” in life, and he may even want to increase his own power…but he doesn’t want any change that will necessitate the dismantling of Normal. That would be too big a sacrifice.

Over the past 30 years, I have run into many such people. I tell them they don’t have look at their situation in either-or terms. The increase of their power doesn’t demand a take-down of what they already have.

In fact, a take-down or dismantling of Normal, when it isn’t desired, pays negative dividends: confusion, a sense of isolation, a blocking of energies.

Which is yet another reason why I’ve written so often and so extensively about imagination. Imagination is a highway to greater power without an accompanying surrender of what you already have.

The many, many imagination exercises I’ve developed and included in my collections, Exit From The Matrix and Power Outside The Matrix, take a person in the direction of greater creative power—and then, at some point, if Normal is going to change, it is going to do so naturally.

This change often manifests as a person decides to invent a new and different future for himself.

That future, as radical as it may seem relative to his old life, comes about, not by force or wrenching, but by his desire to achieve something better.

In that case, the old Normal withers and drops by the wayside. The new Normal is much wider and deeper and higher.

This, in fact, is the process by which any artist (in the broadest sense of the term) leaves an old style behind as he invents a new one.

True human psychology is all about the future. It isn’t about wrestling and struggling with the past. It isn’t about rearranging deck chairs of the past.

One of the key experiences of my life (1962) was beginning to paint. Based on no background, training, or discernible talent, I jumped in. Because I wanted to.

After a month, I looked around and realized all the friendships and relationships in my life had changed. I was no longer seeing them through the same lens. I was, simultaneously, free from them, and far more interested in them—but from a wholly different viewpoint. In a nutshell, I was operating in the present, no longer lugging around who knows what from the past.

There is something deep in the human spirit and in human energy that wants to create and invent, and when that impulse is stifled or put on hold, because the person himself decides it’s “not possible,” a souring and shortening and shrinking of experience sets in…and that is when The Normal and The Average come to the foreground and take over.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Life is a great deal more than that.

On another front, when a person has seen through the lies and manufactured consensus around him, and consequently understands how the world works at a deeper level, he may find himself in a dead-end.

He is “in-between.” But again, the answer is found in imagination, because it’s the gateway to inventing something better than the false consensus.

It’s the way out of the hole.

The factors I’m sketching in this article are rarely taken up with any seriousness in society. They’re dismissed, or put in abeyance.

But when the individual considers them, and approaches them from his own perspective, the lights can go on. He can begin to feel the pulse of his own energy, which has been waiting in the wings for a new adventure, one truly worthy of his time.

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.

What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road.

Pleasure vs. pain on trial

Pleasure vs. pain on trial

~a short story~

by Jon Rappoport

September 9, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

“Pick up a modern novel. As you read the first few pages, imagine you’re living in the year 1200AD. The baffling flood of references in those pages would make your mind spin. We might have that experience now, if we were given a few pages published a mere 50 years into the future. Or each of us might think, ‘I recognize that.’” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

On July 6, 2062, in a federal courtroom in ObamaBush City, Indiana, Citizen 406-A-8#-BN faced charges of conspiring to adjust his allotted pleasure quotient.

Strictly defined, “pleasure quotient” is the permitted daily amount of electronic stimulation a person may download from satellite transmissions. Such transmissions stimulate the reward center (nucleus accumbens) of the brain.

A partial transcript of the Judge’s interview with the suspect follows. It was stamped SECRET, but it was smuggled out…

Judge: You did speak with your cousin about the dissatisfaction you felt.

Citizen: Yes. But it was a casual conversation.

Judge: Such communications rise to the status of conspiring, because they are potentially contagious.

Citizen: Contagious?

Judge: We’re talking about a potential outbreak of dangerous ideas. In addition, your residential smart meter shows you have been connecting to the upper limit of permitted electronically delivered pleasure for 652 days in a row. While not illegal, this is considered an individualistic practice that could deny pleasure to those less fortunate.

Citizen: My cousin said he was cutting back on pleasure, and I told him I thought the daily allotment ought to be raised. That was the substance of our conversation.

Judge: And why are you for a raise?

Citizen: Because I see lots people who seem depressed, despite the fact that they’re plugging into the Pleasure Interface every day.

Judge: And you have scientific evidence for your ‘assessment’?

Citizen: No, Your Honor.

Judge: And that is the point. Our government is spending an enormous amount of money to surveil the effects of the Pleasure Program, in order to improve service. You, on the other hand, are giving credence to your casual observation. It reveals an unhealthy egoism.

Citizen: That was not my intent.

Judge: Perhaps not, but look where it has gotten you. I have to render a decision here.

Citizen: I’ll cut back on my pleasure.

Judge: So you say. But after a week, a month? You may feel the urge again.

Citizen: I’m a member of the Middle Ages Reparations Committee.

Judge: I was not aware of that. I don’t see any indication in your record.

Citizen: I can prove it. I have a registration number. I can give it to you now. You can check.

Judge: You can trace your ancestry back to at least 1200 AD? In Europe?

Citizen: On both my parents’ sides. According to the founding documents of the Reparations Committee, every full-fledged member has the right to issue complaints and demands relating to injury suffered by his ancestors. That makes us a group granted with special pleading rights under federal law.

Judge: This complicate things.

Citizen: Yes sir, it does.

Judge: The question is, does your right extend to complaining about the pleasure quotient?

Citizen: I’m aware of cases where a member of a group with special pleading rights was granted the right to object to regulations outside his limited sphere.

Judge: That’s true, Citizen. However, do you understand how important the Pleasure Interface is to our current societal configuration? Without it, people would ‘drown’, so to speak. That is, their external circumstances would present too large a problem for them.

Citizen: I’m sympathetic, believe me, sir. I’m one of those people. My application to DARPA, to be included in a clinical trial of visual-cortex transplantation, has been held up for over two years. I need new induced pathways of perception. My current system is feeding me negative input at a rather alarming rate.

Judge: Perhaps we have the basis for a compromise here.

Citizen: How so?

Judge: I can put you into the DARPA group immediately.

Citizen: You can?

Judge: Of course. I’m a federal Judge.

Citizen: I would sign a pledge to cut back on my pleasure quotient.

Judge: You would also have to forego your right to complain about the pleasure allotment.

Citizen: Yes, Your Honor, I would do that.

Judge: And if you fail to live up to your promises, you would automatically be assigned a daily electronically induced pain quotient far in excess of what you’re experiencing naturally in your life now.

Citizen: Understood.

Judge: Your food and energy quotients would be reduced as well.

Citizen: I would accept that.

Judge: We would also expect you to report any pleasure-quotient infractions you discover among friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

Citizen: Of course. I would go so far as to sign up for the Federal Watch Program, attend seminars, and receive training on how to infiltrate social circles for the purpose of detecting subversive behavior.

Judge: Very good.

Citizen: However, if the implanting of a new visual cortex fails to give me a new lease on life, if I still feel depressed and angry, what then?

Judge: I would revisit your case. I would assign you a special exception on your daily pleasure quotient.

Citizen: Can you be more specific, sir?

Judge: Yes. I would allow you four hours a day of continuous Pleasure Interface.

Citizen: That’s exceedingly generous.

Judge: Well, although you are, first and foremost, a federal citizen, you are also the Governor of California. That merits attention.

Citizen: I appreciate that, Your Honor. Let me take this a step further. If you grant me the conditions and exceptions you’ve just mentioned, I’ll issue an executive order for the entire region of Southern California, where we are seeing very high levels of pleasure use. Second-time violators of upper limits will be cut off from pleasure altogether.

Judge: That would create considerable chaos among the population.

Citizen: And then militarized police units, federal troops, and UN peacekeepers could be brought in to quell riots and install severe restrictions on freedom of speech, assembly, and so on. It would serve as an example to the rest of America.

Judge: Let me take that one upstairs and see how they feel about it. You may have something worth considering…

—end of excerpt from secret federal court proceeding—

As we all know, the Governor’s suggestion was accepted, he did sign an executive order, widespread riots in Southern California did ensue, and they were brutally put down by local and federal law-enforcement personnel.

In the wake of this crisis, the US Presidential campaign season took on new meaning. Matt Huxley, the grandson of Chelsea Clinton, promised voters higher levels of pleasure-quotient access, and the funding of additional satellites to handle the increased transmission load.

Matt Huxley won the election in a landslide. However, it was then discovered that the Clinton Foundation had taken in an off-the-books $4 billion donation from Buffet-Gates Inc., a leading manufacturer of pleasure satellites.

Although outbid for the satellite contract by Smith Winston, a British firm, Buffett-Gates secured the federal award.

President Huxley famously said, “I was not in bed with Buffett-Gates.” However, a year after his inauguration, the President finally confessed, under enormous pressure, that he had violated federal regulations.

There was talk of impeachment. But the President’s poll numbers were not affected. The overwhelming citizen-support for increased levels of Pleasure Interface carried the day, and Congress backed off.

Two decades later, former President Matt Huxley would write in his autobiography: “If you can get massive numbers of citizens to go to war and risk death, because they’re continuously accessing the Pleasure Interface the whole time they’re on the battlefield, do you think there was a snowball’s chance in hell I would be impeached for tinkering with a federal contract? In a Democracy, the people speak. The people want pleasure. I gave it to them, and they thanked me. These days, the Interface, in conjunction with artificial visual-cortex transplants, guarantee that each and every human being will experience reality beyond the reach of any negative inputs. Each and every human being sees [cortex transplant] and feels [Pleasure Interface] life in a sea of satisfaction, on a most intimate level. This is what the human race has been striving for, since the dawn of history…”

power outside the matrix

And the Governor of California, the suspect in a pleasure-quotient case? Both he and Judge were bucking the tide of history. Their deal to come down hard on the population for excessive Interface use turned out to be a mere blip on the screen.

The two collaborators eventually formed a Los Angeles company called Sunset Escorts. It advertised male and female companionship for upscale clients.

But human-derived pleasure was already on the wane. The Interface plug-in was much more powerful, and it was government issued, which meant it was free—as long as you didn’t consider federal income, property, and sales tax levels.

Eventually, Pleasure Interface upgrades resulted in CPI, the Collective Pleasure Index. It was claimed that every person plugged in at any given moment was not only experiencing his/her own quotient, but the “sum of all persons’ pleasure currently online.”

This has been labeled, by many commentators, Universal Oneness, or Cosmic Consciousness.

Dr. Pepi Urzi Rosenthal Von Washington Lee Ho Shankar of Harvard University hails the Oneness as the “long sought for Singularity.”

“It is now clear that the experience of pleasure is the same, from person to person,” he said. “Therefore, connecting millions or billions of Interface users creates what we call Super Flux, the bathing in the collective ocean of Being. What can exceed that?”

What, indeed.

Joe Biden: wackadoodle now “serious candidate”

Biden: wackadoodle now serious presidential candidate

by Jon Rappoport

September 8, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

A few years back, the press was lampooning Joe Biden at every turn. They loved to quote his gaffes:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” (about Barack Obama, January 31, 2007)

“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent…. I’m not joking.” (2006)

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’” (2008)

There was no commercial television when the market crashed in 1929, and Roosevelt wasn’t president then.

A few years ago, Biden was considered an inept clown. The fact that he was a heartbeat away from the presidency was something people didn’t want to think about at all. As commander-in-chief, he might punch in the codes for a nuclear attack while thinking he was calling his wife about dinner.

And now…Biden is a serious candidate for the Oval Office.

I mention all this for one reason. The mainstream press was on the same page then (inept clown), and is on the same page now (serious candidate).

How interesting. One might infer all the networks and the major papers are working from the same script.

They’re pushing Biden because he could take Primary votes away from Bernie Sanders and thus leave a clear trail for Hillary to the nomination? Perhaps.

Whatever the reason, the press operates in unison. And not just in this case.

On most major stories, CBS, NBC, and ABC come to the same conclusions. Viewers are so used to it they don’t think it’s odd. But it is very odd. Unanimous consensus should be the exception, not the rule.

However, if the big three networks routinely disagreed on major stories, the effect would be catastrophic for the advancement of mind control. Viewers would be forced to think, compare, contrast, consider.

That is a no-no.

The mainstream game is the manufacture of seeming difference—“well, we have three separate major television networks”— when in fact there is one network.

What about FOX? It appears to represent the anti-Democrat point of view. But in forwarding a Republican agenda, it fosters its own illusion of difference. Why? Because on key issues (e.g., big government, Globalism, militarized police forces, the primacy of the medical cartel), the two major Parties are not different; they are on the same page.

The Biden story proves the networks can simultaneously change their minds (from “idiot” to “capable”) without even blinking, without even a moment of embarrassment.

“Look, Bob, just a year ago we were saying Biden was deranged. Now we want to make him a statesman? Isn’t that a risk? I mean, don’t we look like fools?”

“Don’t worry, Chet. People don’t remember what they had for breakfast yesterday. It’s not a problem. And we can always double back and call him an idiot again if we want to.”

power outside the matrix

But isn’t it obvious we’re pushing Biden so he can take Primary votes away from Bernie Sanders and hand Hillary the nomination?”

“It might be obvious to you, but you’re a reporter, and you know how to keep your mouth shut. Let’s just say, as far as Biden is concerned, the situation is fluid. We can make him into anything we want to. Clown, statesman, Obama’s choice, foreign policy expert, idiot, Party hack, Senator with a long and distinguished record, wackadoodle.”

“My wife doesn’t like him. He came up behind her at a party, put his arms around her and kissed her on the neck.”

“Yeah. If need be, we can find women who’ll call him a serial sexual harasser. It all depends.”

“Depends on what?”

“Our marching orders.”

“From whom?”

“Just kidding. Let’s get a drink.”

Migration of populations vs. the individual

Migration of populations vs. the individual

by Jon Rappoport

September 7, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

We are seeing a flood of population-migration in various parts of the world. The Globalist strategy is obvious:

Make the only solution a global solution.

Instigate the chaos that causes the migrations, and then come in behind that with the answer: “better planning, better organization, international agreements”—in short, a planned society for the borderless world.

Of course, “global solution” means the individual is cut out of the equation, he doesn’t count, he doesn’t mean anything in the larger scheme of things, he is just another pawn and cipher to move around on the board.

And as more duped and deluded people sign on to this agenda, the whole concept of the individual shrinks and becomes irrelevant.

This is purposeful.

This is the script for the future: in many ways create problems whose only solution appears to be collective.

Psychologically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually divert the individual’s attention from his own vision, his own profound desires, his own consciousness, his own imagination—and place it within The Group (“all of humanity”).

Propagandize the idea that, if the individual concerns himself with anything other than The Group, he is selfish, greedy, inhumane. He is a criminal.

More and more, this is how the young are being trained these days.

The grand “we” is being sold to them like a cheap street drug. They buy in. They believe this “we” is real, instead of a hollow con designed to drag them into a Globalist framework owned and operated by mega-corporations, banks, foundations, governments, and ubiquitous Rockefeller interests.

And what of the individual, his mind, his unique perception, his independent ideas, his originality, his life-force?

Swept away in the rush toward “a better world.”

I have breaking news. Earth is not a spaceship and we are not crew members. If Earth is a spaceship, it has serious design flaws, because it keeps making the same trip around the same sun every year.

Each one of us does not have a specified function, as a crew member would.

Going back as far as you want to in history, every shortage and scarcity in the world that engendered a crisis was either created by some elite or maintained by them, for the purpose of eradicating dissent and fomenting a collectivist solution. Meaning a solution that came from the top. Meaning a solution that reduced individual freedom.

In recent human history, a different idea emerged: establish severely hamstrung government, in order to protect the individual against it.

This idea existed in its pristine form for about an hour after the ink dried on the founding documents.

Elites emerged with the realization that they would need to build great wealth for certain men, who would then turn around and use their power to expand government and corporate and banking control, in order to sink the population back into the swamp from which they had just been liberated.

On and on it goes. But regardless of circumstances, the individual can author his own freedom and what it implies. He can discover, within himself, extraordinary possibilities and extraordinary consciousness. He can contemplate what it means to create reality that expresses his most profound desires.

And then he can begin a voyage that no one and no group can stop.

Civilizations come and go, rise and fall, but the individual remains.

Behind and below and above all the false prescriptions of the State and its allies, he remains. He is at the core.

But why wait until some distant day to wake up?

The word “imagination,” when properly understood, indicates that the individual can envision and then create futures that never were, and never would be, unless he invented them.

Imagination is the opposite of “provincial,” “restricted,” “well-known,” “familiar,” “accepted.”

That is its danger to the status quo.

That is the true threat the individual poses to all predictive systems.

exit from the matrix

The modern State works from the assumption that you are renting your life and your self. It sees itself as the landlord, whose beneficent concern, expressed through “programs,” should direct your behavior and thought.

It is softening 1984 into the effects of Brave New World. Pain is the stick and pleasure is the carrot.

Soon you will see official calculations of “pleasure quotients” for citizens. You will even see promises to “expand” those quotients.

“The greater good of all” will be highlighted.

That is the primary selling point.

Its success depends on the individual ceasing to exist in his own mind. He is The Group.

On the horizon: researchers studying the myriad activities of the brain in real time will claim there is no chemical/biological/electrical basis in the brain for the concept of the individual. The whole notion is an aberration, resulting from an imbalance that can be corrected.

Sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists and other charlatans will chime in, pointing to indisputable evidence that, throughout history, it has been the individual who has caused all the trouble. (This propaganda op has been actively underway for a hundred years.)

Yes, the hard scientists, will agree. “But to be more precise, it is the disordered brain that has caused the trouble.”

Yes, my friends, you can be free of the imbalance, and the suffering and turmoil it causes. You can be liberated, and thus discover a new world of pleasure.

“Take the carrot.”

Against all this stands: the individual.

The individual vs. the collective in the Matrix

The individual vs. the collective in the Matrix

by Jon Rappoport

September 5, 2015

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

In the 1950s, before television had numbed minds and turned them into jelly, there was a growing sense of: the Individual versus the Corporate State.

Something needed to be done. People were fitting into slots. They were surrendering their lives in increasing numbers. They were carving away their own idiosyncrasies and their independent ideas.

Collectivism wasn’t merely a Soviet paradigm. It was spreading like a fungus at every level of American life. It might fly a political banner here and there, but on the whole it was a social phenomenon and nightmare.

Television then added fuel to the fire. Under the control of psyops experts, it became, as the 1950s droned on, the facile barrel of a weapon:

“What’s important is the group, the family, peers. Conform. Give in. Bathe in the great belonging…”

Recognize that every message television imparts is a proxy, a fabrication, a simulacrum, an imitation of life one step removed. It isn’t people talking in a park or on a street corner or in a saloon or a barber shop or a meeting hall or a church.

It’s happening on a screen.

When this medium also broadcasts words and images of belonging and the need to belong, it’s engaged in revolutionary social engineering.

The very opposite of living as a strong, independent, and powerful individual is the cloying need to belong. And the latter is what television ceaselessly promotes.

This is no accident. After World War 2, psychological-warfare operatives turned their attention to two long-term strategies: inculcating negative stereotypes of distant populations, to rationalize covert military plans to conquer and build an empire for America; and disseminating the unparalleled joys of disappearing into a group existence.

When, for example, television promotes “family,” it’s all on the level of fictitiously happy, desperate, yearning, last-chance, problem-resolving, melted-down, trance-inducing, gooey family.

This isn’t, by any stretch, an actual human value. Whether it’s the suburban-lawn family in an ad for the wonders of a toxic pesticide, or the mob family going to the mattresses to fend off a rival, it’s fantasy time in the land of mind control.

Television has carried its mission forward. The consciousness of the Individual versus the State has turned into: love the State. Love the State as family.

The political Left of the 1960s, who rioted against Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, at the Century Plaza Hotel, and ended his hopes to run again in 1968…that Left is now all about the State and its glories and gifts. The collective.

A great deal of the television coverage of mass shootings is now dedicated to bringing home the spurious message: we all grieve together and heal together.

In the only study I have been able to find, Wictionary partially surveys the scripts of all television shows from the year 2006, to analyze the words most frequently broadcast to viewers in America.

Out of 29,713,800 words, including the massively used “a,” “an,” “the,” “you,” “me,” and the like, the word “home” ranks 179 from the top. “Mom” is 218. “Together” is 222. “Family” is 250.

This usage reflects an unending psyop.

Are you with the family or not? Are you with the group, the collective, or not? Those are the blunt parameters.

“When you get right down to it, all you have is family.” “Our team is really a family.” “You’re deserting the family.” “You fight for the guy next to you.” “Our department is like a family.” “Here at Corporation X, we’re a family.” “Above all, this is a community.”

The community, the group, the company, the sector, the planet, the family.

The goal? Submerge the individual and tie him inexorably to a group.

Individual achievement, imagination, creative power? Not on the agenda. Something for the dustbin of history.

All you need to do is fall into the arms of a group. After that, everything is settled. You can care exclusively about the collective.

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World: “‘Ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines’! The voice was almost tremulous with enthusiasm. ‘You really know where you are. For the first time in history.’”

George Orwell, 1984: “The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought.”

Television seeks to emphasize one decision: inclusion or exclusion. Exclusion is portrayed as the only condition that is possible if you aren’t part of the group. And exclusion carries the connotation of exile, excommunication, and criminality.

The soap opera is the apotheosis of television. The long-running characters in Anytown are irreversibly enmeshed in one another’s lives. There’s no escape. And with that comes mind-numbing meddling.

“I’m just trying to help you realize we all love you (in chains).”

“Your father, rest his soul, would never have wanted you to do this to yourself…”

“How dare you set yourself apart from us. Who do you think you are?”

Of the three elite network anchors, the one who fictionally conveyed the sense that “we’re all in this together” was Brian Williams (NBC), before his downfall. He was the number-one-rated anchor on the evening news.

Am I saying that no groups anywhere can achieve important objectives? No. I’m talking about a state of mind wherein the individual surrenders his own life-force.

There is an indissoluble link between the artifact called “we” and “limited context.” This is precisely what television news gives to the public. With each story that fails to explore the deeper elite players and their motives, the news speaks to a collective consciousness, which is to say, the sharing of a fabrication.

What “we” shares is foreshortened perspective, lies, misdirection, and superficial gloss. Those qualities are built for the group, and the group digests them automatically.

For some people, “we” has a fragrant scent, until they get down in the trenches with it. There they discover odd odors and postures and mutations. They find self-distorted creatures running around doing bizarre things with an exhibitionist flair.

The night becomes long. The ideals melt. The level of intelligence required to inhabit this cave-like realm is lower than expected, much lower.

Perceptions formerly believed to be the glue that holds this territory together begin to crack and fall apart, and all that is left is a grim determination to see things through.

As the night moves into its latter stages, some participants come to know that all their activity is taking place in a chimerical universe.

It is as if reality has been constructed to yield up gibberish.

Whose idea was it to become deaf, dumb, and blind in the first place?

And then perhaps one person in the cave suddenly says: I EXIST.

That’s starts a cacophony of howling.

People dimly wonder whether, beyond this night, there is another whole world where individuals live, where individuals finally separate from the sticky substance of coordinated defeat.

The “we” that television gives us is a fiction designed to make the independent individual extinct. That is its job.

In the aftermath of the 1963 assassination of JFK and the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the covert theme was the same: a lone individual did this.

A lone individual, detached from the group, did this. “See what happens when the group is rejected? Lone individuals are really no different than individuals. They are people who left the fold. They wandered from the communal hearth. They thought for themselves. This is what happens when individuals assert their independent existence. They become killers. They lose their way. They break the sacred bond. They are heretics who fall away from the collective.”

In 1995, after the Oklahoma City Bombing, President Bill Clinton made a speech to the nation. He rescued his presidency by essentially saying, “Come home to the government. We will protect you and save you.”

He framed the crime in those terms. The individual versus the collective.

The strongest argument against the free and independent and powerful individual, and in favor of the collective is, simply: the collective has advanced to such a degree that there is no going back; the individual can’t win; the battle is over.

But the liberation of the individual has existed as an aim since the dawn of time on this planet. That aim will not vanish.

Why? Because underneath all the programs for mind control, there is, obviously, something to control. Otherwise, why bother? The deeper you go in discovering what “must be controlled,” the more freedom and power and imagination you encounter in the individual.

It may not seem so. It may seem that all the propaganda about the inherent weakness and smallness of the human being is accurate. But that is a false dream.

The reality is far different.

A million psyops won’t change that reality.

power outside the matrix

Here is a 1980 quote from author Philip K Dick. He is writing poignantly about another titan of science fiction, Robert Heinlein. The relevance of Phil’s words to the subject of this article? Here are two powerful and independent individuals who, despite all their differences, find a common sharing. This is what that sharing looks like and feels like:

“Several years ago, when I was ill, Heinlein offered his help, anything he could do, and we had never met; he would phone me to cheer me up and see how I was doing. He wanted to buy me an electric typewriter, God bless him—one of the few true gentlemen in this world. I don’t agree with any ideas he puts forth in his writing, but that is neither here nor there. One time when I owed the IRS a lot of money and couldn’t raise it, Heinlein loaned the money to me. I think a great deal of him and his wife; I dedicated a book to them in appreciation. Robert Heinlein is a fine-looking man, very impressive and very military in stance; you can tell he has a military background, even to the haircut. He knows I’m a flipped-out freak and still he helped me and my wife when we were in trouble. That is the best in humanity, there; that is who and what I love.”

Here is one more from Philip Dick. I don’t agree with the “motive” part of the quote, but everything else? Perfect.

“Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups…So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”

The question is, in gaining freedom from these pseudo-realities, does the process happen for everyone at once, or is it one individual at a time? The answer is clear. It must be one individual at a time—and that tells us a great deal about the illusion of the collective.

The history of human struggle on this planet is about the individual emerging FROM the group, from the tribe, from the clan, from ethnicity and race and skin color and from all outward signs of collective existence.

The history of struggle is not about the individual surrendering and going back into group identity.

That is the psyop.
