There's one key fact that you're not factoring into your thought process: everyone involved thinks they're doing the right thing. Union leaders actually think that they're doing what's best for society. Military contractors think they're doing what's best for our soldiers, our country, and the world. The AARP thinks it's doing what's best for old people, and the world in general. Zionists think they're doing what's best for the middle east. The Federal Reserve board members think they're providing the world with a stable financial infrastructure.
All these groups base their thought processes on the underlying assumption that the special group they're advocating for is morally superior to whatever opposition they're facing. For example, the UAW leaders sincerely believe that auto workers are morally superior to management, because they're the ones who perform the actual task of putting together automobiles. Members of the Federal Reserve think that bankers are doing the world a favor by lending them fake money. Zionists think that Jews are morally superior to Arabs. The AARP thinks that old people are morally superior to everyone else because they're old.
It's not a mind control game. It all stems from the simple fact that these political pressure groups sincerely believe that they're doing the world a favor by advocating for the interests of morally superior people. And they've managed to convince the rest of the world that they're right, mainly because there isn't anyone telling them otherwise.
This void of logical opposition isn't caused by some huge conspiracy to keep libertarians off the air. It's simply caused by the fact that no one has a personal vested interest in explaining to the masses that they're being ripped off. Political pressure groups are much more motivated than people like us who believe that everyone is entitled to equal treatment under the law. That's the problem.
It's pretty obvious that you have not studied the Frankfurt School of Social Research and are simply speaking from what appears to be a logical perspective. It's obvious that you are intelligent, but one MUST understand their techniques to see the picture, I don't think it can be deduced through logic no matter how intelligent the observer.
But some questions that one should ask themselves...
- How do you think all those groups were peeled off?
- How do you think all of their frames of reference were created?
- Why do some humans think they are better than others?
- Where are the forces that create these social conditions coming from?
I'd argue that you're not thinking big enough.
But with respect to these groups that you mention, their leadership is filled with sociopathic personalities. That's how its run, that's how the followership is manipulated and controlled. That's why the followership thinks they are doing the right thing. It's all in the framing of the issues, the framing of reality... and this framing is socially engineered.
With respect to the Federal Reserve Board, they know exactly what they are doing, there is no false pretense there. You are assuming that all actors:
- have benevolent intentions;
- and that these benevolent intentions are directed toward the public.
Well, those assumptions are FALSE! Their constituency is NOT the public, their constituency is an International establishment of elite actors. It is this constituency that the FED has loyalty toward, and it is this group that seeks control over the public. We're the damn enemy!
As far as keeping Libertarians off the air, that was never my argument. What I am saying is that it is important to create groups who's thinking can be assimilated, and then to use media, and other group management techniques, to control these groups. It is the individual that is much more difficult to control. The Tavistock Model discusses just this, how to manipulate the group, which is what is used today through group leaders and change agents, amongst other methods. So, to the contrary, it is necessary to group Libertarians, and then to place actors on radio to manipulate and manage their thinking.
I would agree with you that NO one has "a personal vested interest in explaining to the masses that they're being ripped off." But why is this the case? I would argue that this is the case because anyone who has this vested interest is not supported by the foundations, is not given any media airtime by anyone in the extended media (including patriot radio) and is ruthlessly attacked if they actually gain any traction. The only actors and groups that are allowed to succeed are groups that are either controlled or surreptitiously serve the establishments agenda. That's all. Everything else is suppressed.
But to you point that this is NOT a conspiracy. Well that simply could not be further from the truth. This conspiracy of the elite against the public has been going on throughout history, it is nothing new. The only thing that has changed is the technology that the elite have at their disposal and the advancement of their techniques, such that the public cannot even detect them anymore. The social science is so damn good that people don't even recognize it, or know it exists.
P.S. The Matrix movies fulfilled a number of cultural purposes depending on the target audience. But on one level, it was meant to mock the public, that being one of the roles of the "entertainment industry." It's called mocking-the-victim, which confirms the psychopath's power over them. Just reread the discussions between Winston and O'Brien in 1984, toward the end of the book/movie... that provides real insight.
