Good article. The matrix is hard to see and anything that sheds light on it is a very good thing. Once realized, it's really easy to think that the situation is hopeless. As individuals there is not much we can do except opt out and think and act in ways inimitable to the matrix. Getting a group of neighbors and friends to form a civic watchdog group to actually get involved in local politics is a wonderful idea but hardly realistic because too few people see the matrix and most do not have the free time or the will to be so proactive. Imo all efforts should go into helping others realize the matrix all around us, the many ways we are negatively affected by it and it's source of power - bankers creating fiat currencies from nothing. Rather than depleting time and energy and possibly much more in opposing Goliath, work on exposing what is so carefully hidden into the light of day. We are under the spell of a massive con which will collapse once exposed. The current monetary system is ending due to the bankers greed in over indebting the world and their blunder in setting up a debt based system that creates the principle but not the interest. The real issue and greatest threat now is that like in the sixties when they used war, moon landings, race riots and hippies as cover for stealing the worlds silver, they will again distract us with wars and turmoil to bring in a new monetary system. Only those who can see the matrix and understand the source of its power will stand in opposition to this new system - we need numbers! Witness the dialog in the comments - the author blames government, Olde reb blames Wall Street, Bill Ross says it's useless to assign blame, they are all crooks. No consensus here and there should be. Here is the bigger picture : the banking families that own the Fed have interlocking ownership stakes in all other central banks and own the banking industry. The primary job of bankers everywhere is to cultivate and fund political candidates along the entire political spectrum willing to promote their agenda. The worlds major corporations are owned by these same banking families. So banking, governments, and most corporations are owned and controlled by this small group. The matrix ends when honest money is restored to our world and no man or group of men have the sole right to create currencies from nothing.

you sound like me nowmartin.
Did you study my Constitutional site or 912 Communique ?
Well Im headed to the Bilterberg meeting in Austria( you know the meeting of the elites not taking place). But to support what you said let me say this:
"My friend its peoples civics, city councils, county commissioners, mayors , law Enforcement (Sheriff elected all) This constitutes your Republic, and the federal government is by and through the US Constitution not part of the states Constitutions. remember The Constitution is and enumeration of rights for the US Federal government not for the people.

Now this places us in the true revolutionary position of those real foreigners in Washington DC who have infiltrated our Banking system and has robbed the people of their working rewards of life, their happiness and their security. Read the Declaration of Independence, within it lies the answer to tyranny which becomes too despotic in its nature. They want us to believe that we are the terrorists as they invade our nation with their foreign players. They have placed chemicals in our foods ,water and vaccinations. Their purpose is to euthanize over 280 million just in this nation alone.
Are we ready as a people, as a republic to prevent this operation? Look to the news, that which doesnt come through NBC ABC FOX CNN CBS etc look to alternative sources who are manned by patriots who do care for their Republic.

My teaching site for the republics business is http://committee.org Michael Badnarik resides here. http://constitutionclub.nin... my personal site/ is the 912 Communique we are few but have much information and vet all. http://www.912communique.co...

Everybody understands there is a problem, Somebody has to identify the problem, therefore Anybody has the ability to have the answer to this problem, Let us not forget, actions by Nobody may well make the problem permanent.

Wow, your so right why didnt we all think of this before?

No matter who you vote or dont vote for, the winner will always be bought off, blackmailed or killed. Why do you think these people are candidates in the first place? Do you think they would alow someone in power who dosnt have the same agenda?

We have a saying in England "no matter who you vote for, its pointless... the Goverment will still get in".

I find it so depressing when I visit England - the people look so beaten down

...and, don't even try to discuss monarchy. Brits love to feed the hand that bites them.

A fascinating article. Lots of food for thought. Being too caught up in the Matrix to see it and fully know it, it left me wondering: What is Freedom? How do we know when we have Freedom, and when we are trapped in a delusion or illusion of Freedom?

I am not sure if I could recognize True Freedom, versus Faux Freedom or delusion/illusion. Might make for an interesting follow-up article.

The device by which freedom is seemingly lost is deceit believed and employed - as a result of which one suffers a seemingly unjustified loss that is then blamed on the other.
That such devices can in a sense trap attention in false identification is evident. That this is the predicate of what we take to be a unified independent consciousness called 'myself' is less evident.
The attempt to 'solve' what are essentially inner conflictedness masked by asserted self in external terms is the world of conflicting personal wills and agendas - but they ALL share the tacit agreement to keep hidden, and in that sense make unconscious, the true nature of our relation within Consciousness. Otherwise; the game of powers cannot persist or 'survive'. Calling it a game is not to underestimate very serious investment, without which the game would not be experienced real.
Choices are made unconscious or are 'forgot' as part of engaging and unfolding the life-time, so though it is true to say that a personality construct did not choose to be born, it is also true to say that the personality construct is a result of choices that in some sense template the collective and individual themes of any particular relational expression.
The surface or screen 'reality' is overlayered - as a distortion filter - upon an actual movement of being within awareness, whose nature can be accepted and known in embrace and extension - but can never be separated from and objectified - EXCEPT in concept.
The idea of separation is the idea of being other than what you are. Investing in this idea in order to experience it necessarily requires the temporary forgetting of awareness that knows or Self-awareness - the rising of Thought by which Existence knows itself existing. This forgetting operates through an exclusive definition of WHAT we are - as a specific perspective of what we are.
Such a focus of reflection is distorted by the coercive force of an exclusive intent. For there is no limit on communication in what Mind is excepting an idea of limitation is believed in order to then use that as a focus. The tool of a specific focus might be likened to a virtual reality scenario. When one puts on the VR helmet - one is in 'the matrix' of experiencing a differentiation reflected back as an external reality in which to explore - and in a sense to be as gods. Plural because no separate power exists - it is always in relation to other.
But the coercive idea makes of Life, a fragmenting dissociative force that merely goes forth and multiplies itself as a divisive and destructive distortion of Life, and yet which is clearly fascinating and addictive to a trapped identifying investment of attention within it.
So what are the devices by which truth in plain sight is hidden and usurped with illusion but thinking!
The core tyranny under which one believes themself bound is a result of thinking. The power of conscious thought has been deliberately diminished - excepting of course by the awareness of template level consciousness from which all else is in a sense framed and formed. In its place is a sort of thought jamming device by which a kind of thinking pervades and directs the imagination of independent identity according to the template definitions that it accepted or chose as its adaptation to the physical existence.
Yet this device runs within and depends upon the very Life it appears to usurp. Identity in denial must first be the thing it then denies in order to seem independent or a power in its own right. But conceal this by diversion. By the incitement of inflammations and offence that re-enacts the coercive idea as the 'survival' of a seemingly separate self.
If you don't consider it possible that an imagination could usurp your truth just look at how present with what is, you are in any given day or series of minutes. The mind makes all kinds of spin upon and around whatever actually is here to experience. It also seeks and finds reinforcement with others in social transaction both positively and negatively, to validate and maintain the personal capacity to be in control of one's own life.
But the above is a sketch of the segregative movement within a Consciousness that does not stop being Itself, regardless that a spun off focus is operating within it within a belief of exclusion and rejection. Consciousness Itself hasn't 'gone anywhere', it has simply been redefined in terms that seem to be different than it is, and while it did so, it was known and supported in its choices for what is the gift of free will but unconditional love? The true knowing of who you are can not be got rid of, and so is in a sense held in trust for you to come back into as the truth you know and love without any shadow of doubt and which seems lost, forfeit or beyond conception within the evidences of a world of fear and struggle and loss.
The integrative movement is in some sense like a rubber band that automatically comes back to its natural state of rest when the distorting force is no longer maintained. That is to say the willingness and desire to notice and desist from coercive thinking or reaction becomes an opportunity for the restoration of a joyful or truly connected presence - along with all that is called for in the practicality of the situation.
'Creatives' know that this is so - but often abuse it as a more subtle way to feed the ego from what is actually a living relationship - as if the Muse of true inspiration - was there to serve a self specialness. Well up to a point it may - but only to the purpose of reflecting the nature of your choice to you. For there is nothing blameworthy in learning by one's choices to make better choices.

But few know the choices they are making - though they believe the are awake and free to choose as they will - because the framing of such choosing is itself a deeper choice of which we have by design desired to be unaware of. What is the 'mind' that frames our choices in only fear's setting but fear itself?
The nature of un-owned or hidden fear is of a shadow power that sabotages or inhibits and disrupts what would otherwise naturally communicate and manifest and fulfil. What is such 'shadow power' but the beliefs and fearful or shameful definitions that we have accepted, believed true of us, and sought to deny, escape or overcome?
Fear of fear operates a negative loop - an unarticulatable tyranny from whose perspective there is no escape - but there is no truth there to escape from - if brought out into the open and looked at honestly. This in itself is a simplicity - but arriving at this may involve any kind of process of delay and procrastination as a result of identifying the fearful as protector.
But when anyone finally releases baggage that deprived them of their true lightness of being - they say "why didn't I do this years ago". Or they might attempt to communicate with others who are weighting for something they believe they lack and find they cannot - without a mutual willingness.

Raising one's level or vibrational quality of consciousness is not in order to change others or the world, but it will reflect as a greater perspective in which to recognise everything with less fear and so uncover and transmute or undo the deeper fears that surface fears operate to conceal.

Its all about love and fear, Its all a matter of perspective within Consciousness of which you are an active and integral expression because you exist and make choices by which to experience your existence as you prefer - which can be guided by your joy or by a fearful sense of self-protective control that unlike joy must convince you to abide in it. It must use a carrot and stick to keep you from joy or you would abandon the idea of coercive control.

But of course Life leaks into even the most tightly controlled system, but is airbrushed, diminished and subverted so as not to break the continuity of the past into the future in which the presence of all that you are is sacrificed to feed and maintain a tightly controlled system.

Flip the switch.

Mr Whitehead entirely misses the point--and adds to the diversion of attention.

He blames government for the problems. It is Wall Street that decides who will be presidential candidates (by ownership of MSM), who it is that receives campaign contributions to be reelected to Congress (Ref. http://www.zerohedge.com/ne... )
, who runs the State Department, the Treasury Department, and the Justice Department, who uses the CIA to enforce economic control of the world (Ref John Perkins, Confessions of Economic Hit Man) including being responsible for the current economic chaos of Europe.

It is Wall Street that embezzles $3 billion daily from the government by having the FRBNY's exclusive handling of auction accounts of Treasury securities (Ref. 31 CFR 375.3) that can have no other destination except Wall Street ( Ref. http://www.scribd.com/doc/1... ).

These funds pay for the perfidy Wall Street inflicts on the world (Ref. http://farmwars.info/?p=12078  , NWO, Dead Ahead ).

don`t like it?

then it is YOUR responsibility to oppose, else, by action / inaction YOU consent.

see my spiel regarding the fake "usefulness" of scapegoating in David Galland`s editorial today...

It has been said" "To achieve any goal, you MUST know exactly what it REALLY is and the REAL obstacles to be overcome."

I believe it. It came from your writing.

Did I not attempt to point out the difference between the effect (as detailed by Mr. Whitehead) and the cause (created by Wall Street) ?

Is this not a responsible "action" to facilitate correction in the manner of educated society ?

Yes, but you disputed the identity of the `perps`. IMHO, it is pointless to identify `THE PERP` because anyone unproductive exists on someone else`s dime, often stolen. They are ALL crooks and, it is absurd to `debate` which is more culpable. Sorta like the absurdity of democratically choosing our slavers.

THEY ARE all crooks. And will remain so for as long as `consent / tolerance of the slaves` ALLOWS this.

The ball is in our court to oppose. Is it `reasonable`to believe that predators will stop preying, by rational argumentation, when that IS ALL THEY KNOW, and, we are not human beings, to be respected but FOOD for their table, which was also stolen from us.

I re-iterate: If we don`t like it. It is OUR responsibility to defend ourselves. NO RIGHTS exist (in action / consequence reality) unless defended. And, according to THEM, if you comply / don`t defend, well, YOU consent.

It is responsible to facilitate correction, which I have done. You deflected blame away from root cause:

I have seen the enemy and, it is us - Pogo

I applaud your activism and enthusiasm for patriotism. I am appalled by
your logic.

The irrationality of your position is apparent from your first paragraph
wherein you declare: “IMHO, it is pointless to identify 'THE PERP'
because...”

This is the MO of the FBI to obtain pretend “terrorists,” it was used
to obtain provocateurs for Ferguson, Missouri, it was used to “occupy
Wall Street,” it has been used by the State Department to conceal
the perfidy of Benghazi, the list is endless. It is called false flag operations.

In my opinion, virtually every nefarious action by government is
orchestrated by Wall Street. The first such action is embezzling $3
billion daily by the FRBNY's exclusive handling of auction accounts
of Treasury securities. Ref. 31 CFR 375.3

The profit from the operation of the Fed legally belongs to the
government. Ref.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/1...
.

To blame the voters/citizens for the corruption of government is to
condemn a homeowner for having a house that gets burgled. Granted,
citizens do have an obligation to be aware of government operations
and to act accordingly. Society would be greatly different if people
spent as much time watching D.C. as they do watching professional
sports and Hollywood fluff.

My point IS: So long as we deal in identity politics, attempting to deal with "bad guys", we will NEVER have a shortage of (many false flag) "bad guys" for arbitrary power to falsely claim to be the "good guys" and use their false podium to enslave everyone else.

IT WILL NEVER END so long as we the people tolerate it. We are THE ONLY possible final line in the sand against tyranny. If we do NOT oppose (make unprofitable), we create opportunities for tyrants.

THEY need to be in terror of us, not the converse.

Benjamin Franklin didn`t lie: "A republic if YOU can keep it"

So, I`ll throw "faulty logic" right back at you.

Your position is equivalent to a parent complaining their undisciplined children are, well, undisciplined and, ITS NOT THE PARENTS FAULT.

And, don`t bother claiming we are up against mature adults. We are not. THEY are sociopaths. To expect THEM to change and not prey when they are tolerated to is sheer folly.

Bill,
point accepted. We must identify the “good guys” from the “bad
guys.”

Is it not in compliance with this logic that identifying the BOG and
FRBNY as running an embezzlement theft from the government for 100
years an effort to identify the error in what is currently accepted
as “good guys” in the Federal Reserve ?

It is the Federal Reserve that has corrupted Congress and the
administration for more than 100 years. Randomly removing congressional members does not
remove the cause of the problem. It is ONLY congress that can correct the perfidy of the Fed.

Can we accept the premise that congress cannot see the malfeasance of the Federal Reserve and they need education ?
