“[...] the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you [...]” Character V, from V for Vendetta
Wow!. How accurate he was.
It has been more than 6 yrs since that fateful day on 911. Our prophetic leaders were able to warn us to the planned suffering for decades of War based on a passport copy of muslim under millions of tons of WTC rubble. Enough number of questions were raised and enough meaningful , thought provoking video’s and articles were produced and billions watched and felt there is LOT more to the incident than official version to a point where 70 percent american question official version, despite 6 yrs of incessant official propaganda.
Still Nothing has changed. Neither the aggressor ,nor the millions of victims nor the billions of observers have changed, despite amazing dream like technologies of internet news distribution which allowed that propagation of the truth like a wild fire. We are still the iron grips of the same set of people , who subdued us to be helpless sheeple from the time immemorial. How can this happen ? .
It is called Learned Helplessness. What is it? , How it works?.
In the early 1960s scientists conducted animal experiments to determine something about the “flight instinct” in humans. In one experiment they wired half the bottom of a large cage, so that a dog placed in the cage would receive a shock each time it set foot on the right side. The dog quickly learned to stay on the left side of the cage.
Next, the left side of the cage was wired for the same purpose and the right side was safe from shocks. The dog reoriented quickly and learned to stay on the right side of the cage. Then, the entire floor of the cage was wired to give random shocks, so that no matter where the dog lay or stood it would eventually receive a shock. The dog acted confused at first, and then it panicked. Finally the dog “gave up” and lay down, taking the shocks as they came, no longer trying to escape them or outsmart them.
But the experiment was not over. Next, the cage door was opened. The scientists expected the dog to rush out, but it did not flee. Even though it could vacate the cage at will, the dog lay there being randomly shocked. From this, scientists speculated that when a creature is exposed to violence, it will tend to adapt to that disturbance, so that when the violence ceases or the creature is allowed its freedom, the healthy instinct to flee is hugely diminished, and the creature stays put instead. [Estes, 1995]
What type of shocks are we talking here. They are the emotional shocks. From the initial shocks of 911, weeks of constant bombardment of 911 images , shock of patriot act, constant finger pointing of every arab , constant multi color warning to the people, then the wars of Afghanistan and brutal Iraq war, endless and appaling scandals in the officials selected to run the westren hemisphere and the end less economic vows along with natural calamities like psunami , Katrina etc. This made us complacent. solution is to Knowing the facts about how human mind works and how psychopaths at the top of the food chain use us and act against them.
