good but as far as what you describe..... it's the lowest common denominator that allows the king to do such things.
and sure, then, "they" regurgitate back to us, and keep us that way, but on a basic level don't we get off on it? hasn't humanity, at least, the lineage of humanity that the western world adheres to, tracing back to eurpoean feudal times, and crusades and oppressions.... hasn't this humanity with its lust for power and wealth instead of love.... always been here?
unfortunately it is the noble humanity that has been wiped out. the peaceful indigenous peoples with kinder and nobler ways. it's society itself that is sinful, evil, repressive......
and we cannot entirely point blame at one or another thing, for we are microscopically guilty as well. our cars fueled by middle eastern blood, our groceries, fueled by that same blood, made with that same oil. we have much, because they have few and we don't want to share.
it's a mess.
part of being the microcosm means that we are directly responsible for change, and i don't think "big brother" can stand in the way of something so big. i think they merely exist to keep as many followers possible, and to blind those to the higher cause, but I do not think they can suppress, or indeed, need, to suppress the higher cause. because frankly the higher cause is done by a minority. and yet if the minority become Christed, they are more powerful than the entire majority in the first place.
it is a big elaborate dance, and i think nightmares of 1984 are just stories to keep us vigilant and mindful of how we are not supposed to be.
it's like V for Vendetta, they couldn't do anything with all their might and power, because the entire people, as a whole, wouldn't hear of it. well, our voice of "God" is coming through the unification of opinions through the wires we speak on now.... cleansing from the bottom up.
and i really think this collective voice, this collective mirror, is going to shape things in ways incomprehensible to the human imagination. open sharing of independent news, even "normal" people seem to be hating the cable news more and more, and staying away from it. i think a lot will happen now that when you want to know about something, you can.
and i think the leaders will resist heavily, but they will eventually follow our momentum, and go with what we demand, in a very gradual, concession, so that they still have all their power, it is just a different kind of power, and a different kind of corruption, one that is more transparent, as it was supposed to be when the nation was founded.
and i think they will allow a lot of things, because if they clamped down, it would spur "revolution" but if they permitted, it would only be a few really reaching out and finding "truth" while the rest want to be happy as consumers, and those few would be no threat at all, when that they rebel against is gradually changed. their sacraments gradually allowed while still being "illegal" much in the way marijuana is gradually becoming legal throughout the nation in small clusters, and "not-illegal" in many more larger clusters.
really what they don't want, is another 60s. and they can prevent that by simply allowing, but keeping the allowance in the "shadows" so that the normal folks don't really catch on that there is some sort of love/unity movement happening, because they are busy fixing their ipods.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
