Oh SNAP

S.N.A.P. is the acronym for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

That would be a new name for an old program - our modern day food stamps program, now made more convenient and widely accessible with Electronic Benefit Transfer cards. Over 44.5 million Americans were enrolled in the program in 2011. As this infographic demonstrates, this is why we don't have the visual of long, winding breadlines at soup kitchens in cities across the nation that were the hallmark of the 1930's era Great Depression's landscape.

Thanks to the EBT program, the reality of our economic situation can be hidden from plain sight.

This is why mass media talking heads, pundits and "experts" can get away with lying in their broadcasts and publications, prevaricating that we are "in recovery."


Many folks on the conservative side of the so-called "aisle" often castigate the food stamp program as socialism. Wealth transfers from the producers to the non-producers.

The manosphere points out a different aspect of this wealth transfer - from working men to non-working, dependent single mothers married to the State.

Both points are true...but only partially so.

Don't forget who else gets their slice of the transfer lucre, like the Banksters-too-big-to-fail, (BTBTF) who distribute and administer the EBT system.

Don't forget too, that every single benefit transfer is an entitlement expenditure...one that is done with fiat currency printed up out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, for which we the enslaved sheeple are liable for in interest-bearing debt that adds to our ever escalating tax burden.

Don't forget that Big Ag gets it's cut of this "benefit" transfer as well. From the Eligible Food Items Page of the USDA's SNAP website:

 - Soft drinks, candy, cookies, snack crackers, and ice cream are food items and are therefore eligible items.

- Seafood, steak, and bakery cakes are also food items and are therefore eligible items.

- Since the current definition of food is a specific part of the Act, any change to this definition would require action by a member of Congress. Several times in the history of SNAP, Congress had considered placing limits on the types of food that could be purchased with program benefits. However, they concluded that designating foods as luxury or non-nutritious would be administratively costly and burdensome.

Oh sure, it would be costly and burdensome. It wouldn't have anything to do with allowing EBT transfers being made from the taxpayers debt burden to the Big Ag corporations that produce all the processed "food items?" Remember, it's not It’s not the snack aisle, the cereal aisle, or even the bread aisle...it’s the profit aisle:

There’s one big reason that industrial food manufacturers like Kraft (Nabisco, Snackwells, General Foods, many more), Con-Agra (Chef Boy-Ar-Dee, Healthy Choice, many more), Pepsico (Frito-Lay, Quaker), Kellogg’s (Kashi, Morningstar Farms, Nutrigrain, more) are huge and profitable.

It’s because grains are cheap, but the “foods” made from them aren’t.

One reason grains are so cheap in the USA, of course, is gigantic subsidies for commodity agriculture that, while advertised as helping farmers, go mostly to agribusinesses like Archer Daniels Midland ($62 billion in sales), Cargill ($108 billion), ConAgra ($12 billion), and Monsanto ($11 billion)...

I often shop at grocery stores adjacent or in the poorer neighborhoods of Hawaii. I see the shambling mounds of obesity with shopping carts brimming with processed foods, candy, junk food, cakes, chips, crackers, and cases of soda....all paid for with their EBT cards. Many also buy fresh produce and meat to take home and cook...but neraly all buy Big Ag junk food products with their 'benefit tranfers."

I also see many of these EBT recipients put the grocery divider on the conveyor belt to differentiate between all the food and feed they are acquiring, and the prohibited alcohol, tobacco, pet foods, etc. In other words, although the EBT program expressly forbids using the "benefits" to buy drugs and alcohol, because they don't have to spend their money on food, they have the extra income to pay for their vices...an indirect subsidy.



Another unique aspect to this program found here in Hawaii has to do with our love of eating mercury.

Because the Federal guidelines encourage recipients to buy raw meat and seafood to take home and cook, the ubiquitous poke and sashimi stations in every grocery store in the State accepts EBT cards for raw fish.

What a farce.

Raw fish is the primo luxury food item in the State. Prepared poke is never taken home and cooked for family meals.

It is eaten raw, and is the staple food for parties and get togethers.

It's usually $16-$20 a lb.

I've gone to my local grocery store to buy some poke, and stood in a long line that took me half an hour to get up to the counter for my turn to order my fish. The majority of the people in line were literally buying hundreds of dollars of raw fish with their EBT cards...of course, many of them also used the divider so as to ring up the beer and cigarette purchases!

Poke, sashimi, clams, oysters, tako (octopus)...a veritable cornucopia of premium sea food, for which people who are not enrolled in SNAP eat only on occasion, while our "poor" underclass literally feast on it regularly.

I've talked to the workers and they acknowledge that their manager finds out asap when the next EBT disbursements are handed out, so they can get ready for the rush of EBT poke sales. They have to literally make three times the normal daily amount of poke to handle all the benefit transfer purchases.

It's one helluva "benefits transfer" racket we got going on here.

So, let's take a step back and look at the big picture...

The Federal Government borrows the money from the Federal Reserve System to fund the entitlement spending programs like SNAP.

The BTBTF get their share for administering the EBT program.

The sheeple then use their benefits on all of the feed products produced by Big Ag.

Then, of course, after years of eating such crap, the sickness and obesity requires treatment by Big HealthCare, and renewable. lifetime maintenance prescription drugs that profit Big Pharma.

All of this money that goes to the BTBTF and Big Ag corporations are all interest bearing fiat dollars from the Federal Reserve System, continually adding to our exponentially expanding debt.

SNAP is not a direct transfer from the productive class to the non-productive welfare class as conservatives like to point out, nor is it simply a transfer from working men's tax dollars to fund single mothers and their out-of-wedlock entitlement claims.

In the long run, it's a total transfer from the 99% to the 1%. All the "BIG" entities in our "FREE MARKET" make all the profit while sticking us with the future debt burden, ill health and miserable deaths.

Good Wife | Bad Wife

As I previously noted, Everyone seems to be taking the red pill nowadays, eh?

I recently saw a manosphere commenter going by the moniker "RedPillWifey" I clicked on her link and with much bemusement read her new blog, "Red Pill Wifery." I quickly ascertained she's a fan of Athol's. Good for her, good for her family.

One of her more interesting posts was her fisking of the old email meme that made the rounds on teh interwebz, The Good Wife's Guide.

I first got that meme emailed to me by an old classmate/friend, before I ever started blogging...most certainly before "taking the red pill." I lol'd along with her and her comments at being horrified at the old ways of Patriarchal enslavement women had to suffer from in the bad old days of the 50's.

Almost a decade later, she's on her last few carousel spins and destined for spinsterhood (she's already tried to settle for a beta - the engagement lasted all of 3 months before she cheated on him with a ONS and ended up dumping him for being BORING. He does not know how lucky he is....) and I have most certainly come to a much more different perspective on this old meme. lulz

I'm half a mind to make this commentary, and re-email the meme image back to her and watch her hamster scramble furiously for my own amusement. But she is an old friend, and we've already been down the old path of arguing about her feminist politics many times before. I'll leave her to her rapidly approaching time of perpetual cat tending and man-hating vodka martini gossip sessions with her fellow single, empowered career womyn peers... but I digress.

Back to the Guide.

As some of Red Pill Wifey's commenters note, the Guide is most certainly a fraud.

Even better.

What this meme really shows, is the feminist attitudes towards marriage, and that being a good wife is viewed as being a complete slave to a misogynistic brute. The fact of the matter is, even if the things on this list are an over-exaggeration to reinforce the perception that the 50's were a period of female enslavement to the Patriarchy, they would most certainly work for a woman who's serious aspiration was to indeed become a good wife.

For as we all know, modern feminism - aka cultural marxism - certainly doesn't want women to be Good Wives.

A good Wife is a home maker. Her husband and her children are fortunate, because they live in a happy home -- that she makes -- in which Dad can't wait to come home to a pleasant wife, good home-cooked food, and a clean and orderly house. If your husband is the type to always go straight to the bar after work and doesn't come home til late every night, it's a virtual guarantee he dreads coming home...TO YOU.

By making a home, a good wife creates a sanctuary for her man.


A bad wife is a Home breaker.

We know which kind of wife the Feminist movement promotes.

In fact, if you were to take a different perspective on all the actions this "guide" suggests, you can see just how corrosive the feminist zeitgeist has become to the personal relationships between a husband and wife. Much of these exaggerated "suggestions" are the kind of things we all do (men and women) whenever we invite guests over to our house...especially strangers!

We clean up the place, put on nice clothes, and try to create a comfortable atmosphere so that our guests may enjoy their visit to our home, so that we can make a good impression on them. When you create a great atmosphere, everyone enjoys each others company and a good time is had by all....including the person who did all the work in preparing, cleaning and dressing up! Slavery? Oppression?

Yet, to do these things as a wife, to create the same experience for a husband that she would for a stranger...oh the horror!

Think about that for a second... 

"We must treat strangers better than our own husbands, or it's oppressive slavery!"

Yes ladies, ignore all of this horrible advice from those bad old days of the 1950's!

Why would you ever want to be a good wife?

Here's an easy question one should pose to any women who shows this meme to you and laughs at it...


What man out there in the world would you most want to meet and fall in love with and gain commitment from? Which male out there tingles your hypergamous desires more than any other? Is it some rugged Athlete or sports champion? A musically gifted, multi-platinum recording pop rock star? The Prince of England? The hottest Movie Actor in all of Hollywood? Who? What guy out there is your ultimate Fantasy?


Now let's say you met him and he accepted an invitation from you to come over to your place for dinner.

Would you really feel enslaved and oppressed by cleaning your place up, wearing your best clothing and doing your hair and makeup to make yourself presentable, and then getting ready with a drink in hand to present to him the moment he came over to visit you?

Would it be oppressive to try and make him feel comfortable and relaxed at your place? Since he's your dream guy, you'd do all of this and much much more to try and get him to fall in love with you and give you his commitment, no?

Why is that acceptable in trying to attract your dream man...but suddenly it becomes "enslavement and oppression" after you've gotten that commitment?

The answer to that question is this: because you've been lied to. You've been sold a most pernicious deception - that happiness can only be found in selfishness. Understanding this and avoiding it is the only way you have a chance at getting to Happily Ever After.



Of course, to understand all this, we have to really get to the truth of the matter: A housewife falls out of attraction with her husband (too much Beta/not enough Alpha), and she finds herself doing all these things for a man that she does not tingle for, it most certainly feels like slavery.

Feminism succeeded in appealing to young single women to delay and/or avoid marriage, because it played off the most base fear of any young, fertile woman - being "trapped for life" in an institution to a man for which she does not tingle.

Sounds ludicrous? Men are no different.


Ask a man who's married to a fat, ungrateful, and perpetually nagging wife if it feels like slavery as she spends all the money he earns and gives him no respect or recognition (and usually no sex) for providing for her and their children.

The difference is we live in a society for which Women can pull the plug on their discontented married lives, and walk away with all the cash and prizes. The unhappily married man faces the choice of putting up with her and still being with his children....or becoming a semi-weekly visitor paying chili-mony and risking estrangement from his offspring. As Ian Ironwood at The Red Pill Room notes:

In attempting to re-write the social rules of marriage, feminism's built-in escape hatch made the effort to work on a marriage a lot harder than ending it.  Feminists can become brides pretty easily, thanks to the power of pussy.  They can just as easily become ex-wives, with a stroke of a pen.  They rarely become "wives" (under the Rectification of Names).  So for all of their vaunted empowerment, it seems that feminism insists that an empowered feminist woman can do ANYTHING . . . except be a good wife.

To sum it up, this "Good Wife's Guide" piece of feminist agit-prop expounds on mythical horrors of the past, so as to perpetuate the very real horrors of our current Brave New World Order.

Consider these responses of a typical modern day housewife to the supposed 1950's standards (keep in mind, this is from a Pro-Parenthood website):

1. Prepare yourself for your husband's arrival.

Me: First of all, what makeup? Second, if I had 15 minutes to spare I would probably take a nap.

2. Clear away the clutter.

Me: Cleaning happens once a week. If you want it done more, please hire someone else. Honestly though, my husband does a lot of the cleaning.  

3. Honor thy master.

Me: When we were married my friend gave us a magnet that said, "If at first you don't succeed, try it your wife's way." Whether my husband admits this or not, this statement has been proven to be correct more than once. Really though, we work as a team and question each other when necessary.

4. Keep it down!

Me: Noise? What noise? Are you referring to the radio, the dog, the noisy toys, the phone, or our child? I tuned that out a long time ago, please consider doing the same.

5. Always have dinner ready.

Me: Leftovers are in the fridge! Enjoy! To all housewives everywhere, enjoy who you are. Do what you do and do it well. 

Whatever she's doing, she's certainly doing it well. He works to pay all the bills AND he does most of the cleaning. If he has any problems with this, why "they work as a team and question each other when necessary!"

This is one thing I notice about TEAM WOMAN. Even when she is TEAM HER MAN, and she's in a happy relationship with a man that she respects and is basically submissive too...if someone were to ask her what she thinks about their relationship, often times she'll brag about they have an "equal" and "fair" relationship.

They too partake of the notion that female submission and Patriarchy are bad things, even if they are actually living it. It's just like how feminists credit everything good in their lives to feminism and the women who "fought for their rights" in earlier eras.

In short, the feminist paradigm is the only "correct" way to view relationships.

As the stay at home mom at the Parent Society website writes, these are "Hilarious lessons on being a good wife."

I'm sure her husband is laughing.

It's quite obvious by her answers that we all know who wears the pants in her household.

This is what modern feminism preaches to married women today. His needs are superfluous and unnecessary...even if he's the one working and paying all the bills so you can stay at home with the kids. Who cares if the house is messy, you look frumpy, the house is chaotic and noisy, and after a long day of hard work, he has to look forward to eating cold left overs in the fridge! None of this has anything to do with being a good wife. That was 1950's era oppression!
   
Of course, she misses the best piece of advice in that entire meme, is the last point: A good wife always knows her place.

Both figuratively and literally, that would be beneath her husband.

Sink the Pink

This is the only appropriate place for pink to appear on an NFL field!

It's that time of the year again.

Yes, folks, we must all do our part to RAISE AWARENESS.

I've certainly done my part a few times now in the past several years.

After all, as an avid NFL fan, the spectacle of all the pink all over the place every October certainly serves as an all important reminder!

Millions upon millions (if not billions) of dollars are riding on all this AWARENESS!

Many bloggers and commenters in our fringe sector of teh interwebz oft raise many different points on how all this Pink in the NFL is a concerted effort of feminists to impinge on one of the last true male institutions that celebrates true meritocracy and unabashed expression of masculine aggression. No doubt, the feminists who support such things really do support all this pink invading male spectator sporting events. Awareness is a good thing, right!?

Seems like even the feminists are getting in on the act...Jezebel.com writer, Erin Ryan (not linking to Jezebel, google it yourself if you like), writes in her recent article, The NFL's Campaign Against Breast Cancer Is a Total Scam:

The NFL claims that its pink philanthropy efforts "support the fight against breast cancer" by "promoting awareness" and providing funds to the American Cancer Society. But what they're mostly promoting is, uh, buying NFL gear, the profits from which are overwhelmingly pocketed by the NFL.

Of course, the Jezebeller's feminist-focused point is that not enough money being raised by all these sales is designated for the actual research for the cure...and like most feminists, she's making the marxist class warfare angle - don't buy the pink, it enriches the already rich Billionaire NFL owners, instead of most of it  going for the womynz!

Since the program's inception four years ago, the NFL has raised $3 million for breast cancer. In 2009, the League made $8.5 billion. Last year, they made $9.5 billion. Commissioner Roger Goodell has set a revenue goal of $25 billion per year by the year 2027. A million per year out of between $8.5 and $9.5 billion in revenues? Pardon me while I don't slobber all over the NFL's pink-drenched marketing campaign.

Like most feminists, she misses the forest for the trees. Besides, most of the manosphere folks that believe the pink-ification of the NFL is primarily a feminist agenda are mistaken.

Here's the lady responsible for this eyesore in the football stadiums across the nation:

Center: Tanya Snyder, wife of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, NFL Breast Cancer Awareness Spokesperson

 She's the wife of a corporate mass media marketing industry mogul who survived breast cancer herself. The pink campaign is just another highly successful marketing campaign to create more demand for the services provided by the Mammogram industry, of which the American Cancer Society is a most lucrative partner in getting the masses to demand their services.

AWARENESS merchandise is just the way in which the NFL is paid off by the American Cancer Society to promote the real agenda:

 WOMEN 40 OR OLDER SHOULD GET A MAMMOGRAM EVERY YEAR

 Why would the American Cancer society advocate that women radiate their breasts once a year after the age of 40? Surely they just want to save lives!

Cancer prevention expert, Professor emeritus at Univeristy of Illinois School of Public Health, Chicago, Samuel S. Epstein, disagrees:

However, the FDA remains strangely unaware that radiation from routine premenopausal mammography poses significant and cumulative risks of breast cancer. This is also contrary to conventional assurances that radiation exposure from mammography is trivial, about 1/ 1,000 of a rad, and similar to just that from a chest X-ray. However, the routine practice of taking two films of each breast results in exposure of about 0.4 rads, focused on the breast rather than on the entire chest. Thus, premenopausal women undergoing annual screening over a ten-year period are exposed to a total of at least four rads for each breast, at least eight times greater radiation than FDA's "cancer risk" level. Such high radiation exposure approximates to that of Japanese women living approximately one mile away from the site of the Hiroshima atom bomb explosion.

Good thing we have all the pink to remind all the women at age 40 to begin their annual dosage of radiation to their breasts...and we're not even mentioning all that radiation she's exposed to if she flies frequently and forgoes the gate rape option and favors TSA radiation "security."

Why, after 10 or so years, when she's 50...why her life will have been saved when the Mammogram detects a lump! A decade plus of regularly radiating her breasts would have nothing to do with it...right?! At least she followed the conventional wisdom!

EARLY DETECTION IS THE BEST PREVENTION

The best prevention for loss of profits from a most lucrative industry, that is.

From  American Cancer Society: The World's Wealthiest "Nonprofit" Institution

The ACS has close connections to the mammography industry. Five radiologists have served as ACS presidents, and in its every move, the ACS reflects the interests of the major manufacturers of mammogram machines and film, including Siemens, DuPont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Piker. In fact, if every woman were to follow ACS and NCI mammography guidelines, the annual revenue to health care facilities would be a staggering $5 billion, including at least $2.5 billion for premenopausal women.

Promotions of the ACS continue to lure women of all ages into mammography centers, leading them to believe that mammography is their best hope against breast cancer.

But it's not just he expensive mammogram machines, jobs for licensing and certifying mammogram technicians, or inflated billings by healthcare insurance companies that are counting on all this raising of AWARENESS!

As Professor Epstein reiterates:

Five radiologists have served as presidents of the ACS. In its every move, the ACS promotes the interests of the major manufacturers of mammography machines, particularly the latest digital machines. These are four times more expensive, but no more effective than the film machines.

The mammography industry conducts "research" for the ACS and its grantees, serves on its advisory boards, and donates considerable funds. In virtually all its actions, the ACS has been and remains strongly linked with the industry. An ACS communications director admitted the obvious in a 1999 article published by the Massachusetts Women's Community's journal Cancer. "Mammography today is a lucrative [and] highly competitive business."

Ah, but all this Pink inspired awareness is not just for the benefit of the Mammogram industry...let's not forget Big Pharma as well:

The ACS conflicts of interest extend well beyond the mammography industry. The ACS has received contributions in excess of $100,000 from a wide range of "Excalibur (industry) Donors," who manufacture carcinogenic products. These include petrochemical companies (DuPont, BP and Pennzoil), Big Pharma (AstraZenceca, Bristol Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Company and Novartis), and cosmetic companies (Christian Dior, Avon, Revlon and Elizabeth Arden).

October AWARENESS merchandise is just the way in which the NFL is allowed to garner their share of the loot from unsuspecting folks thinking they're contributing to "the war against cancer," when what they're really contributing to is the profits of a multitude of industries and "non-profits."

There's all the motive$ you need to understand why the NFL goes all pink every October.

 Since I do not now, nor have I ever worn a single article of pink in my entire life, I guess I'm not a REAL MAN. Somehow, I think I'll manage to carry on.

Shadows on the Wall

 I took Philosophy 101 as a sophomore in college. At that time, I just didn't get it. It bored me. I just didn't understand how all these books about philosophy and the old, dead men that wrote them, had anything to do with the actual life I was living. Although I did give the class a real effort towards what I thought should be an "easy A" (I got a C) I just didn't have enough experience and introspection to understand the appeal of studying what I then considered as nothing more than intellectual navel gazing.


Autodidacticism enabled by daily exploring of teh interwebz for over a decade has most assuredly shown me the error of my ways. Philosophy is at it's core, the search for the truth. There is nothing more interesting, nay, utterly fascinating, than to discover that something you've believed in and followed your entire life, has been nothing but deliberately fostered falsehoods and delusions, indoctrinated for the express purpose of controlling your behavior.

It is the very core of the Matrix allegory...which has now become the predominant zeitgeist of this virtual place we now call the manosphere or androsphere.

Everyone is 'taking the red pill' these days, eh?

Except everyone has gotten there own definitions of what exactly is the 'red pill' and what is the 'blue pill.'

Boiled down to it's basic core, the red pill is truth, the blue pill, lies. Lies that keep us unaware of the metaphorical matrix that has been constructed to enslave humanity and harvest our life force, our energy, our very essence, to fuel it's own purpose.


Like a stagecoach horse with blinders on, allowing it only to see the road ahead so that it can concentrate solely on it's task it's owner demands of it, so to are we the sheeple of this Brave New World Order given our own set of blinders so that we stay firmly plugged in to the Matrix, laboring for the benefit of the system, rather than ourselves.

The Matrix is very real, and we are all plugged into it in some way or another. But the idea itself, of keeping human beings enslaved by limiting their ability to see the bigger picture of their existence, so that they do not even know they are enslaved, is an old one...very old.

Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets.

I see.
And do you see, I said, men passing along the wall carrying all sorts of vessels, and statues and figures of animals made of wood and stone and various materials, which appear over the wall? Some of them are talking, others silent.

You have shown me a strange image, and they are strange prisoners.
Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?

True, he said; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?

And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?

Yes, he said.
And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?

Very true.
And suppose further that the prison had an echo which came from the other side, would they not be sure to fancy when one of the passers-by spoke that the voice which they heard came from the passing shadow?

No question, he replied.
To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.

The red pill | blue pill allegory is really nothing more than the offer to Socrates allegorical prisoners to allow them the opportunity to take off the chains and climb out of the cave and see the world as it really is.

Come see the truth...or don't. You can stay right where you are, comfortable amongst your fellow prisoners,  firmly enthralled and entertained with watching the shadows on the wall. These shadows, they have messages for you, messages that will help you bear your existence, chained and enslaved.


From The Allegory of the Cave:

Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance.  We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know.  When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives.  But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better.  In fact, you want more!  It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care.  Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant!

In the 21st century, our cave is our matrix. Our views of the world and reality, nothing more than the shadows of lies, delusions and illusions projected not on a cave wall, but into our minds, by our televisions, movie screens, bill boards, newspapers, magazines, books and all other manifestations of mass media.

Take the red pill...or take off your chains and get out of the cave. Live a real life as you were meant to.

Or, take the blue pill, keep the chains on, and spend the rest of your existence in the bowels of that dark cave...the light outside is too bright and dangerous anyways.

A Salute to Conventional Wisdom

Originally published in bad faith...

Population control is about so much more than simply reducing the number of births.

“Conventional Wisdom” promulgated through the technologically-driven mainstream media, is one of the primary tools of the social engineers in their efforts to control the population of we the sheeple…the proles of our declining Western Civilization.

I know this, because I’ve educated myself about this by relentlessly pursuing what I could discern of the real truths about the many different topics in which lies are commonly accepted by the masses as truths.

Teh Interwebz is the University of Autodidactism.

At this University, I have deliberately belabored to see just how far the rabbit hole goes, and I don’t think I’m anywhere near to finding the bottom of it.

Four years of discovering the truth by reading, experimenting and sharing experiences amongst fellow truth-seekers on teh interwebz provided a much more realistic, practical and applicable education, than the 5 years I spent attending my State’s institution of higher learning to earn a Bachelors degree…

…or the two years I spent working in the belly-of-the-beast, as a unionized Government cubicle jockey, pretending to be productive and feigning labor at maximum capacity to fit in with the rest of the bureaucratic parasites that never did anything productive or meaningful, but existed solely to consume taxes. Everywhere I looked, I saw actors and actresses, playing the role of  professionals; conveying the impression that all their make work projects accomplished more than simply using every last penny budgeted so they could justify submitting an even larger budget to waste the next year.

Getting laid off from that job was at the time quite disconcerting - good money, easy work. But in retrospect, it was one of the best things to have ever happened to me. Here I am, more than a decade later, and I cannot imagine what life would be like doing a meaningless job for so long, one that produced no value other than to justify the next budget cycle's inevitable increase. The job was soul killing. I didn't know it then, but I know it now. The look in so many of my fellow Government employees eyes...everyone, always ready to spew out rationalizations and justifications at a moments notice as to how and why they "earned" their lucrative salaries and collectively bargained benefits.

Public academia, and public service. Two sectors where one is supposed to learn and grow into productive, valuable citizens, contributing to the benefit of society. Hah. That's not the lessons I learned in either sphere.

I learned far more about the world as it really is, and about myself and my place in the real world, from the influences and insights gained from blogs, message boards and websites that inspired true introspection and productive ruminations…than I ever did watching tell-a-vision, the movies, or from the approximately 13 wasted years I spent in the State of Hawaii’s institutionalized public schooling system.

I discovered that everything I thought was real and true, were nothing but lies, misconceptions, misdirections and misinformation designed precisely to capitalize on, and exploit my health and my productive capacity. All for the benefit of the system, at the expense of my mental, spiritual and physical well-being.

It was never a case of simply falling for any old story found anywhere on the world wide web. Like everything else in so-called civilization, it’s full of bullshit and lies as well.

But the difference is, you can actually read something that may sound crazy at first, but after some introspective ruminations and observing various manifestations of those ideas in real life, and eventually you discover that whatever THEY SAY is really just another echo of deception, reiterated in ignorance by minds programmed by our homogenized, mass media culture, rife with misformed disinformation.

You should never take anything found on teh interwebz (or anywhere else) at face value. You have to discern which virtual tirades, manifestos, declarations or diatribes are justifiable and based on truths…and which ones are crackpot lunacies and monomaniacal mental disorders vomiting their mental wastes into the virtual ether.

Perhaps you may think this blog is one such outpost of insane drivel. I make no claim of having a 100% grasp of sanity, nor do I claim to understand REALITY in perfection. I only know that up to this point, I've discovered things that work for me.

YMMV and all that.

For myself, I find nothing more convincing than experiences and anecdotes from anonymous authors who may be writing thousands of miles away from wherever you are logged on…who can describe behaviors, results or phenomena exactly the way you perceive or experience these things too.

I find the miasma of compelling anecdotes that exist as a multitude of anonymous testimonies in posts, articles, blogging entries and commentary, a convincing narrative that conveys varying degrees of undeniable verisimilitude, especially when you experience these truths yourself.

The similarities in human experiences that cut across cultural, socio-economic and religious differences, is another consideration in attempting to comprehend the enormity and ubiquity of deception present in our modern mass media shaped culture.

At no other time in history, could we human beings communicate near instantaneously with other people all over the planet, and compare notes and share observations and experiences like we can now. When one reads enough perspectives from enough people from all over the globe, you begin to see that as humanity, despite our cultural and ethnic differences, we are more alike than many would like to think.

Many a blogger and commenter in the “manosphere”  has referred to or utilized the Matrix allegory.

For this red pill eater, it never gets old.

Because it is, in fact, a metaphor that is apropos to so many different facets of life in our brave new world order.

We are in the dying throes of a declining civilization, and the entities behind the causes of this decline are desperately trying to keep the lid on the Pandora’s box of ugly truths that would expose all of the lies and deceits they’ve inculcated into our mass consciousness.

They’ve literally poisoned our minds and spirit through the pervasive influence of mass media and our institutionalized educational curriculum.

They’ve literally poisoned our bodies by adulterating our food and water supplies.

They’ve altered our minds and personalities through their manipulation of the conventional wisdom of our culture, by literally and figuratively emasculating the males and masculinizing the females, to foster a ubiquitous interpersonal relationship dysfunction syndrome amongst the populous.

They’ve erected elaborate barriers in our mental programming to prevent us from creating meaningful and lifelong connections with each other, be it romantic, kinship, or even true and meaningful friendships.

Relationships that are life affirming and generate positive feedback loops and inspire individual growth have been hopelessly corrupted by a million whispers of suggestion and subversive thoughts…subconsciously role-modeled behaviors and ideas that saturate every aspect of our mass media broadcasts.

There’s a reason it’s called TV PROGRAMMING.

We are endlessly inundated with depictions and portrayals of the various models of dysfunction and pathology of the human psyche; normalizing deviancy and destroying standards that were once commonly accepted values…all to program our minds to make us much more susceptible to their marketing propaganda to manipulate our behavior for their lucrative marketing enticement schemes.

So take the red pill. Set your mind free. Accept nothing at face value.

Not from the Government, nor from the mainstream mass media.

Always question authority…perhaps not openly — as that could be hazardous to your personal well-being — but at least always in your own mind.

The biggest lie of this epoch in human history, is that our Government-media complex is benevolent and working for our best interests. Don't believe the biggest lie of them all....that they are here to help us. To fix our problems. There's nothing to fix.

The only interest they are working for, is how best to shear the wealth, labor, productivity and life force from we, the sheeple. We are human resources, worth only the value we produce as we perpetuate the system as we endlessly consume....and in turn, are eventually consumed.

You may not be able to break free from all of the population control measures they have put into place…
…but at least give it your best effort to refuse and resist wherever and whenever you recognize the dialectical agenda in effect.

It is better to die on your feet, resisting and reveling in every moment of your free will…than to live on your knees, broken and controlled by a system that exists solely to exploit you.
