Millions of people from countries across the world have begun to wake up to the very real threat of repressive and engineered Globalism, or what the financial elite and the politicians who work for them often refer to as “The New World Order”. The movement against this centralization of economic and social power has gained traction in nearly every sphere, to the point where even the mainstream media has been forced on occasion to acknowledge its existence and prevalence. Those of us who have been working more than a few years in this activist organization, what many of us call the “Patriot Movement”, or the “Liberty Movement”, have seen incredible leaps and bounds in the fight against disinformation and the spread of unadulterated truth. Our work has gone viral, and our membership has skyrocketed, however, the task of diluting ignorance in the overall populace is far from over.

Every researcher, writer, and filmmaker who tackles the New World Order issue will suffer the unfortunate experience of running into people who are almost criminally uninformed, and this will happen on a regular basis. For a long time, our frustration was magnified by our inability to specifically define what it was that made these people the way they were. Were some just mentally inadequate, and unable to effectively process the facts? Were they so indoctrinated by the MSM that there was no turning back? Was there an innate difference in intuitive faculties that made some people quick in picking out a lie, and others slow? Many theories abound, but one thing was certain; in our quest to inform the masses, there were always going to be those who were incapable of hearing or understanding what we had to say, no matter how factual, rational, and refined our arguments. We now call these wonders of intellectual rustication “Sheeple”…

Sheeple can be found in every country, every ethnic background, every religious organization, and every subculture. After years of examination and experience, it has become much easier for the Liberty Movement to identify and categorize the various forms of sheeple, and come to terms with the triggers in the human mind that cause some to willfully ignore logic and wisdom. I have written in the past about some of these triggers, including my article “Sheeple: Why They Are The Way They Are”:

I believe it is important to cover this issue once again, especially in light of recent attempts by the MSM, along with the ADL and SPLC, to demonize our movement and paint us as villainous cartoon characters in the minds of the general public, which will make things even more difficult for us in the near future if we are not prepared. For those in the movement, knowing when you are dealing with sheeple, why they function cognitively the way they do, and how you might be able to get around their mental blocks, is of utmost importance today. Every new person who is awakened to the abyss they are about to plunge into could tip the balance away from tyranny and establish a cultural foothold for free-thought. Every person counts. With the world on the edge of financial and political ruin due to the manipulations and mechanizations of elitism, we must work harder than ever before.

Identifying Sheeple

Not everyone who is unaware or uneducated on the intricacies of Globalism, Central Banking, and the NWO, is necessarily “sheeple”. All of us, at one time or another, were nearly clueless as to the real workings of our government and our economy behind the proverbial curtain. I have found that many people are quite open to the information I make available as long as I make it available in a way that is not immediately overwhelming for them, and as long as I present solid evidence to back every claim that I relate. It is very important to be able to make the distinction between those who are brazenly dim-witted, and those who simply have not been adequately exposed to the facts.

Below, I will list my observations on the various ‘types’ of sheeple, and how to recognize them. Keep in mind some people might fall into more than one category.

The ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ Sheeple: Also known as the “Yuppie”. Life is a party for these folks. As long as they are not affected by the immediate circumstances of the troubles surrounding them, they couldn’t care less about politics, economics, war, or governmental deceit. They may even be aware of the terrible facts behind a certain issue, but as long as the routine of their mundane existence remains intact, they will have little motivation to effect changes in their thinking or their world. In fact, some ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ Sheeple ENJOY a random catastrophe or two, because it gives them conversational fodder for the small-talk around the water cooler that they love so much. Their primary drives are unchecked consumerism (the accumulation of useless things), and emotionally empty sexual exchanges (the accumulation of false self-confidence). Most of what they know about the world they derive from watching fifteen minutes of mainstream television news a day. They often parrot talking points they overheard on MSNBC or CNN, and rarely have an original thought.

I have found that these men and women are normally from upper middle-class, white collar families. They have likely been coddled and sheltered from the suffering that goes on outside of the affluent bubble they were born into, and have probably never had to truly struggle for anything in their lives, giving them an audacious sense of entitlement. Plenty of these people break out of this one track thinking pattern on their own. I have known quite a few. But others will refuse to see the obvious unless confronted with the prospect that they personally might lose something if they do not take action.

The ‘Quasi-Intellectual’ Sheeple: My favorite kind of sheeple. These people hold themselves in very high esteem. Some even see themselves as part of the elite (though most of them are not). Normally from the “professional class”, they often hold positions as Doctors, Lawyers, Bankers, Investors, Professors, Scientists, etc, though some have not yet left the university setting, and are simply getting a head start on their superiority complex.

Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple believe in the world of academia as unerring, as opposed to true scholars, who always have the wisdom to question the conclusions of academia. To me, an Ivy League degree is little more than a $100,000 piece of paper; it tells me nothing of the true intelligence of the person holding it. One need only look at the thousands of mainstream “professional” financial analysts who blindly supported Keynesian economics and refused to acknowledge the bubbles being facilitated by the private Federal Reserve’s artificially low interest rates and free money mentality. Their expensive education counted for nothing, and the economy is now on a ruinous downward slide.

At bottom, most “higher education” is really indoctrination. People attaining degrees in economics learn what the financial establishment WANTS them to learn, and nothing more. The same goes for any other field of study in which information is extremely centralized and filtered. Yet, Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple have such misplaced faith in the ivory tower that they assume through the system they have reached the pinnacle of knowledge. Those who have not assimilated themselves into this system as the Quasi-Intellectual has are to be ignored or ridiculed when presenting an opposing view.

This type of sheeple is driven by the desire for respect, power, and sometimes sycophantic admiration. Actually being intelligent is less important to them than having others believe they are intelligent without question. When asked to prove their intelligence, they often respond with indignance. They rarely if ever consider the possibility that they may be wrong on any subject, especially if it’s a subject they received a degree in. When they find themselves facing someone who has a better grasp of an issue than they do, they will not relent. Instead, they will turn towards subversive debate tactics to confuse the discussion, go off on tangents to avoid direct confrontation, and when he is really cornered, he will throw out barrages of obscure vocabulary in an attempt to impress others and distract them from the fact that he has no idea what he is talking about.

Quasi-Intellectual Sheeple are easy to identify by their arrogant demeanor. They tend to distance themselves from FOX and CNN and read periodicals like Forbes and Foreign Affairs, which are still propaganda, just of a more complex nature. They respond to most arguments with a smile, due to overconfidence, until they realize they are being soundly outmatched, and then they tend to lose composure. It takes a lot of public embarrassment before they will mend their ways.

The ‘Working-Class Idiot’ Sheeple
: Otherwise known as “the good ole’ boy”. (Special Note: I came from a parallel background, and am highly familiar with these sheeple.) You would think that people who fancy themselves as hardcore conservatives would be aware of the push towards global government and the fact that groups like Al-Qaeda are a fairytale distraction away from the real threat: Socio-Corporate Elitism and overgrown Federal bureaucracy. Apparently, they would ‘love’ to hear about it, but the football game is on and their wife is in their ear and the rugrats won’t stop eating all the damn frosted flakes. Such is the life of men without valid priorities.

These folks are usually Neo-Conservative lapdogs, an ideology suspiciously identical to Socialism with a corporate twist. Mussolini had a name for this combination, though the term escapes me…

Its not that they LIKE big government, Socialism, and the loss of liberties, it’s just that they are too ignorant to realize that that’s what they are supporting when they support the current Republican Party. These sheeple are very competitive. Sadly, however, they are often not accomplished in much of anything, which forces them to live vicariously through the exploits of others; like sports teams, political figures, and soldiers sent to third world hell-holes to blow up “bad guys”. Winning, regardless of whether or not the fight is legitimate or justified, is at the top of the Working Class Idiot’s list.

They like to believe that they have a deep relationship with their conscience, which adds pain when attempting to explain anything to them. These men are vindicated in their own minds by a set of logical fallacies that would boggle the likes of Freud. Being rational is not important to those who are vehemently self righteous. They ARE the “good guys”, anyone who disagrees is a “bad guy”, and that is that. This mindset makes them very easy to dupe, and very easy to lead.

The Working Class Idiot worships television. More than a couple of days without it and he shivers like a starving drug addict. He watches FOX religiously, and not intelligent commentators like Andrew Napolitano. He’s a much bigger fan of frothing psychotics such as Bill O’ Reilly, spewing baseless nonsense like a third grader’s baking soda volcano spews foam. When cornered in an argument, this type of sheeple will try every trick he knows to degrade or intimidate his opponent. When that does not work, he has no problem resorting to violence. How to get through to this sheeple? Find a sports figure, prominent Republican, or military man who talks openly about the NWO (there are some out there). Only then will he take the blinders off.

The ’New Age’ Sheeple: Otherwise known as “unabashed collectivists”. Not to be confused with people who do legitimate study into mythology, spiritualism, and the teachings of the ancient past. These are the folks who read Oprah throwaway books like “The Secret”, and think they have actually learned a secret.

You don’t have to walk on egg shells with New Age Sheeple when it comes to the NWO. They are just as likely to approach you about it. The problem is, they think it’s the best thing since patchouli sticks! Why? Because their vision of a one world order comes from an overexposure to Gene Rodenberry-esque fantasy and a subversive form of propaganda I like to call “Positivism”.

Most ‘New Agers’ are people who have at one point or another in their lives met with serious struggle, unlike the ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ sheeple. However, instead of holding steady through this struggle, they gave up, curling into a ball never to put any real effort into anything substantial again. They often make elaborate excuses for themselves, and adopt Eastern philosophical concepts they don’t really understand. Zen becomes an excuse to ignore the rest of the world and focus on something pointless like underwater basket weaving. Karma becomes an excuse and vindication for any unfortunate event. Self awareness gets confused with self-centeredness. While Happy-Go-Lucky sheeple focus superficially on the outside world, New Agers focus superficially on their inner world.

New Age Sheeple do not set out to actively and physically fix problems. They follow the Positivist view, which is to ignore bad things and hope they go away, or make them go away “with their minds”. No, I am not joking. Every New Ager I have ever met holds stubbornly to the belief that if they think happy thoughts and wish hard enough, their invisible “mental energy” will change their surroundings for them. “If only everyone was blindly optimistic about everything,” they think to themselves, “our society would be perfect…” I hate to break it to them, but no amount of ‘happy vibes’ will stop an inflationary dollar implosion, or stop people who have deliberately chosen to ignore their consciences from doing terrible things.

I have spent over two decades in the martial arts, so I am well aware of the mental and spiritual energy idea. However, in the martial arts, you are taught (rightly I think) that priming ones inner focus only prepares you for struggle, it does not make struggle disappear. What the New Age really boils down to is an attempt to cut corners and slap together easy answers for the very complex and intricate problems of life. It is a lazy man’s methodology of denial in which there is no concrete reality, only “point of view”. This breeds hive-mindedness, because the search for individualism is in itself an exhausting marathon, one they would rather not undertake. Overt collectivism is much easier. All you have to do is follow the swarm. And because New Agers force themselves to become so mutable, over the years they will mindlessly adapt to any horrifying circumstance. If reality is only a “point of view”, then why not rationalize wars and holocausts as illusory blips in time?

The only way to get through to New Age Sheeple that I have found is to show them succinctly that the New World Order the Global Elites are constructing is not the same as the one they like to imagine. Making them read through UN white papers on global governance and federal documents like PDD 51 and the Civilian Inmate Labor Program can help. They will still probably think a one world government is a good idea, but at least they won’t support the Elite’s version.

The ‘Quasi-Activist’ Sheeple: Also known as “the rebel with too many causes and not enough knowledge”. At least these sheeple are willing to leave their houses and fight for something, even if they know little to nothing about what they are fighting for or over. The problem is that their lack of insight and in-depth understanding on most issues makes them highly susceptible to manipulation. These are the “useful idiots” we hear so much about; the people who support Anarchist groups that promote Socialist ideals (uh, Socialism is contrary to the tenets of real Anarchism, guys…), the people who believe everything they are told by the CRU on global warming even though the CRU has never released original source data proving that anything they say is true, the people who blame Capitalism and free markets for the economic collapse even though we haven’t had legitimate Capitalism and free markets in over a century. Without knowing the facts behind these issues, how can one effectively involve himself in them?

Quasi-Activist Sheeple protest not so much to change the world, but to FEEL like they are changing the world. Being a part of something greater, even if it’s a sham, is a major motivator. These people are under the impression that they have an inside track on the workings of politics and culture, but the information sources they use are ultimately narrow and biased. NPR for example is not a reliable news source, and just because they speak in a monotone voice with a British accent does not mean they are educated on social undercurrents or that they are objective. Most “progressive” journalism is merely the leftist equivalent of FOX; highly saturated with disinformation and emotional button pushing. This helps to create a subculture that sees itself as “alternative”, when it is actually the flipside of the same old false paradigm coin.

The advantage of dealing with Quasi-Activists is that they do realize something is very wrong with the world. This is more than most other sheeple accomplish in an entire lifetime. The key is showing them the inaccuracy of the information sources they are too dependent on, and breaking them out of the fake left/right mental trap. As long as they continue to blame all the problems of the planet on “the right”, as long as they continue to blame generalized and fictitious opponents that were designed for them by the media, they will never understand why America continues on its self-destructive path despite all their civil discourse.

Common Sheeple Arguments

Below are listed some of the most often uttered sheeple arguments, as well as the rational responses to them.

1) The NWO is just a “conspiracy theory”: Set aside the fact that politicians and leaders of finance talk about the New World Order constantly in speeches, books, and on nighttime television. The temptation here is to push the sheeple label and start a battle of insults. When someone accuses you of “conspiracy theory” what they are really saying is that you are a liar, crazy, or both. Of course, calling someone a liar or crazy does not negate their arguments. Hollow character attacks like this are meant to interfere or defuse legitimate and logical discussion. Force the sheeple to address the information you present instead of allowing them to make your personal character the subject of the debate. This rule goes for you too. Don’t just call them sheeple without backing up your claims and pointing out the inconsistencies in their beliefs.

2) I’m well informed and have never been a “sheep”: Most human beings, regardless of the time they live in, think they have it all figured out. Even men in the dark ages thought they had reached the summit of understanding. They are able to perpetuate this illusion because they are rarely challenged to prove the accuracy of their information or the wisdom in their perspective. Challenge their knowledge on specific issues, and show them there is always more to learn.

3) I’m not the “sheeple”! You are because you believe in conspiracy theories: Yes, full grown adults still use the rubber/glue tactic. Remember, one of the main threads linking all sheeple is that they believe what they believe so that they can belong, so that they can be a part of a majority. Delving into NWO research is the last thing anyone does to “fit in”. Just mentioning it can alienate friends, family, potential hot dates, etc. No one follows this information because they expect to feel accepted by the masses. They follow it because they know it is the truth.

4) The NWO is not possible because it would involve too many people. Someone would let the cat out of the bag eventually: Actually, the Global Elites themselves let “the cat out of the bag” constantly. They speak openly about plans for world government, world financial control, population control and reduction, and they write bills and legislation that are designed to limit or erase our civil liberties. The proof is hidden in plain sight.

5) You’re connecting dots that are not there: Neither I nor any other researcher needs to “connect dots” when we have the public admissions and documents of the Elites themselves.

6) You’re just fear mongering to get attention: The term “fear mongering” denotes the use of lies to induce hysteria. If the information we present is true and supported by tangible facts, then how other people are affected by it is not our problem, it is theirs. Frankly, learning the truth should make a person feel empowered, not hysterical.

7) Everything is just chaos. There is no such thing as an organized conspiracy to control the world: The events they see as chaos make perfect sense to us because we have an insight into information they do not. It’s that simple. The numerous movements in a complex time-piece might seem like chaos to someone that doesn’t know what a time-piece is, or the purpose of a gear, or second hand. Try to explain the concept of color to a blind person. Without a full accounting of the facts, it is very hard for one to know a thing. Also, a quick glance through any encyclopedia, even those with heavy editing, will reveal numerous “conspiracies” throughout history by small groups of men to rule the known world at the expense of the rest of us. Why was it perfectly plausible a hundred years ago, or fifty years ago, but not today?

8) Yeah, I know the NWO exists, but who cares! We can’t stop it, so just live your life and have fun while you can: Nihilism is the worst kind of mental illness because it allows a person to constantly fulfill his own prophecies by doing nothing. When it comes to cultural progression, there is no such thing as the insurmountable scenario. Anything can be accomplished with the right amount of intelligence and effort. Nihilists make no effort to fix the problems they are confronted with, then claim they were right to be nihilistic because nothing changed. We have a responsibility not just to ourselves, but to the future. We have a responsibility to deal with the problems of the present, instead of pawning them off on the next generation.

9) Its all our fault that Globalists get away with murder. Most of us are just stupid: This is only partly true. The average person does share part of the blame for not educating himself on circumstances, and for not taking action, however, ultimately it is the Elites who initiate the crimes we are then forced to either face or ignore. They are the ones that literally spend billions of dollars on propaganda designed to keep us in a fog. In the end, it is they who carry the principal culpability, not “the people”.

10) What’s so bad about a one-world government? It would be the end of war, right?: Global government designed around a collectivist structure and ruled by men who believe themselves to be “genetically and philosophically superior” to the rest of us would not fix anything, it would only make our current problems much worse. War would be perpetual, because there will always be people who fight to be free from despotism, and even planetary governments need to create fear to manipulate the citizenry towards certain goals. Our economy would be equalized; meaning it would be equally oppressive and feudalistic for everyone. And, the liberties we hold dear today would be a distant memory tomorrow. Anyone who truly thinks that more government makes them “safer” is not just extraordinarily naïve; they are sheeple…

Breaking The Sheeple Barrier

Sheeple can change. I have seen it with my own eyes on numerous occasions. If the sheeple you are dealing with at any given moment is a stranger, or mere acquaintance, you may not feel that it is worth the immense effort necessary to enlighten them to the problems at hand. But, if said sheeple is a family member or loved one, you might have no other choice but to push forward. There is nothing worse than seeing the people you care about suffer because you were unsuccessful in warning them of impending danger.

The above sections can help in easing through the process of waking up a member of the herd, though the best efforts will be wasted without patience and persistence. In every person there are barriers and doorways to truth. The trick is finding the unique keys which open those doors and break down those barriers. There are some who will claim that it is futile to make the attempt. That we should leave well enough alone. That many are too far gone to be helped. I beg to differ. If that was true, then the Liberty Movement would not be making the tremendous strides it is today. We did not get to where we are now by giving up when the waters became choppy, and I believe when this age is chronicled and spoken of, it will be our perseverance above all else that defines us. It is a grueling task to defeat an opponent who cannot be dissuaded, who cannot be made to give up. It is nearly impossible to defeat that same opponent when he is also right. To those in the New World Order, we are such an opponent. As long as we do not falter, the sheeple will grow thinner in number, replaced by cognizant vibrant individuals, and the warped ambitions of Globalists will not come to pass…

    Awesome article, I go thru this at work and home. No one wants to research or read, to seek the truth.
    most just want too put blinders on and pretend they are enjoying their life and lazily watch TV. Football is the new Roman circus. I will try to be a messenger for as long as it takes.

    For many months I’ve carefully broached the subject of where this country is headed, and how far off course we have gotten from the original intent of our Founding Fathers. I’ve tried to plant seeds of information on planning for short- and long-term SHTF issues, talking to both family and friends. I’ve been surprised at who has been more receptive to these ideas and who are more sheeple. My mother has been trying to prep and we had a wonderful conversation about what she remembered as a child from the Great Depression. But it seems the younger the age, the less willing to even consider that times will change for the worse! Too much interest in Idol and WWE, and very little concern for what is really happening in the world around them. And heaven forbid that they would have to consider the possibility of not working their way into a cushy, high-paying job! It’s sad and scary to think of how unprepared these people will be. And all too easy to see how we’ve gotten into this mess!!!

  9. 9 Peter said at 1:56 am on May 5th, 2010:

    Yes I agree. A truly awesome article.

    I wonder how socialism is bad or more bad than other systems? I didn’t quite understand that remark in your article. It is a carefully planed system, conceived by the elite to control people just like capitalism or communism. I call them all 20 century test lab systems for human mouses. They are all based on money for “wage slaves” and us such born with mistake. The argument which system is worst or better is somewhat strange since they are all perfect in crude theory and extremely bad in practical usage. I have to say that I love to read nonsense forum fights between system believers (sheeps) on which system is the best.

    I would love to see your comment on this. What is the right lab system or future path for us? How can you argue one system over another if printed value (money) is the only motivator in all of them?

    At the end this is the holly grail that we are all looking for. The perfect system in which our earth is saved by pollution, wild animals saved from extinction, the elite can enjoy laziness and the sheeps can live in a perfect working matrix with football matches and reality shows every day on TV.

    Peter:

    I think the ultimate illusion is the belief that there IS such a thing as a “perfect system”. The entire NWO philosophy is based on the fallacy that “perfection” can be achieved.

    In the end, Socialism and Capitalism are neither bad, nor good. They are social mechanisms, and it is the people BEHIND THEM that make them what they are. Socialism at this moment just happens to be the mechanism of choice for the elites because it is most effective in promoting one world government. Frankly, anything the elites are for, I will be against.

    The only system that can bring balance, the only one that nears “perfection”, is one that is based on individual conscience, which is an inherent and archetypal quality common to all people regardless of environmental conditions. And, the only way to build a society based on conscience is to promote self awareness and individualism. World Government and centralization into the hands of a few globalists is the exact opposite of this. That is to say, the NWO is actually a destructive antithesis to the legitimate system humanity desperately needs.

  11. 11 Peter said at 5:05 am on May 5th, 2010:

    I was born in Slovenia and in the 80′ it was a part of socialist republic Yugoslavia. I was “privileged” to see all three systems in action. At the time we had communist soviet block on the east and capitalist block to the west. Today we are part of “almighty” EU and capitalist world.

    Looking back I can clearly see these systems where strategically imposed to us with world wars by the elites as a laboratory test.

    We from the socialist lab had somewhat a normal life. It was right in the middle of two other “extreme” systems capitalism and communism. We didn’t have much of material values so much praised and cherished in the west and we didn’t “share” as much personal belongings as people where forced to do in east block. But in overall the system was somewhat liveable for most common people (sheeps) however it was very problematic for talented individuals.

    The only major flaw in the system was money or value factor. As soon the people smell the “value” they used the system ruthlessly to gain on other people. The individual become a hidden capitalist and the common sheeps didn’t like that as he was constantly looking to gain more and more which is in my view the crucial problem of capitalist world. There is no limit to the exploitation. The communist test was doomed right from the start.

    So the question is. What we learned so far? What we have learned from our intentionally violent history? How to proceed? I think deep down even “sheeps” are quite tired of this obvious twilight zone between “lab” systems.

    Are we ready for something new? What? What could save the earth from this massive human pollution? What can we save wild animals from overkilling them and extinction? And lastly what can be our new future where human soul not only “value” is taken in account?

    It seems to me we are fighting an already lost fight. There is no system in the world that could cover perfectly so many different people and their needs. You just can’t take in account some people and forget about the others. Individualism is nice in theory but can’t function in reality at least not for long time.

    It looks like from this perspective we are only running some last miles before the terminal or final end.

    P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

    The perfect system is the family, a mom, and a dad and kids, grandparents on each side to rely on for advice, the gov tries to mirror that but with a twist, the kids do all the work and live in fear of them and the outside world

    mummy and daddy are big brother gov
    grandma and grandpa are media and education
    kids are the workers, own nothing, cant protect or defend anything they fight each other and choose mummy or then daddy the dialectic who appear to be different but are united, the system takes this family away from you, or tells you it is evil and oppressive and then what do they do, replace it with themselves?! i dunno, thats just what it seems like is going on to me. Utopia exists for everyone from age 0-5 then life begins to take shape, if the people who give you everything dont love you, the system does not work, no government has ever given what can only be provided by a loving balanced family which is hard enough to obtain under the best circumstances. thats all the nwo is to me, a con wrapped in a lie wrapped in a promise handed to somebody by somebody else who didnt have it to give

    The Amish have the right ideal. If you want to be part of some thing bigger then that is what you are, A part. Replaceable at any time for any reason. Babble, rabble, riot, yell untill ya go mad. The one thing still remains. He with the gold rules. Get up in arm, lock n load. In the end the story always ends the same. History is a wheel, enjoy the ride.

    Well written, concise analysis of the unwashed masses.
    To really get through to a person of any category you must invest a lot of time and energy. I agree that family should take the highest priority, followed by friends, coworkers and such.
    As a novice student of history, my personal opinion is that a Republic, like our founders intended, would be the ideal model for Government of the people. It is not perfect, but no human institution will ever be.
    What saddens me is looking at the people around me knowing most are sheeple of some persuasion. They go on with life unaware that a small group of socio, borderline psycho-pathic, inbred elites really do want to kill them. They actually flaunt it out in the open knowing most sheeple will completely miss it. Those “elite” (I don’t even want to say people) disgust me to my core and they WILL be found out, and they will be prosecuted for their crimes against all of us, the common folk.
    Sorry for my rant, again excellent article, keep up the good fight.

    Peter:

    Individualism is not a “theory”, it is an integral part of every person’s psyche. We just have to have the courage to pursue it as a social mandate. Meaning, we have to construct a society that promotes individualism and free-thought as primers, as necessary to the balance of the whole.

    I think this is entirely possible now, because the qualities for such a society are already present in all of us. Remove the elite, remove the obstacle to liberty, and I guarantee we would see a new renaissance like the one I described above.

    Isn’t it interesting how the elite globalists and the cult of death Islam are united in their desire to destroy Israel.
    The devil is in the details.
    God is watching ,He owns it all.
    The elite will have as much time as Nimrod the first globalist had before God brings their plans crashing down.

    ‘Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
    Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].

  33. 33 Peter said at 1:03 am on May 6th, 2010:

    Remove the elite, remove the obstacle to liberty, and I guarantee we would see a new renaissance like the one I described above.

    While this is an obvious and logical suggestion as the solution of the problem it is also very naive one. You can’t remove the elite just like that. The use of the force would be a suicide. It is one thing if you piss against the wind but completely another if you piss against the government (elite).

    How do you propose to achieve that? With open war? Revolution perhaps? This was possible in last century but not in this one. The age of peoples revolution is long gone. Even sheeps have brains and I doubt many would join the open confrontation with the “dark side”.

    Writing this sort of articles and talking to people is one way to go but you have to admit this has a very limited effect. A few 1000 of us just cant compete against the mighty media empire owned by the elite.

    If you ask me the only way is if you plant a new mentality within the people and the elite. Like a good virus. It has to be something that will save, compensate or render obsolete the VALUE. People will not buy just another great “system” idea just to give up all the value they have accumulated until now.

    We have to teach people that VALUE is obsolete in this century and at this stage of human civilisation. We have to set a new civilization standard for everybody without the VALUE as the core of the human society. Look at the Amish people. They have managed to survive “modern” civilization because the VALUE factor is not forbidden for them but it is rather rendered obsolete.

    Only then we can hope for success.

    Peter:

    What you are putting forward is the typical Nihilist view of the NWO, which ironically I cover in the article just above. Nihilists like you always claim “They can’t be removed! They can’t be beaten!” My response is always the same:

    What are you basing that conclusion on? Certainly not experience, since you have not really put in the effort to stop the elite or change the circumstances they have created. Essentially, you have come to a conclusion based on fear and projection. Your fear of taking legitimate action, your fear that you are not capable of making the change you wish to see.

    Nihilists project the feeling of inadequacy on the rest of us. They often think that since THEY are not capable of surpassing a certain obstacle, then the rest of us MUST be incapable as well. That’s why your knee-jerk response to my suggestion was to call it “naive”. You are projecting your personal insecurities.

    I also find that nihilists offer up the illusory “Value” solution, claiming the “only” way to stop the elites is to somehow convert them over to our “better” version of the NWO. It is the perfect methodology for the nihilist because it requires no personal sacrifice, and little effort. It makes him feel as though he has a solution. Whether or not it is practical is not important to him. Sorry Peter, but if anything is naive, it is that way of thinking.

    First, removing economy will change nothing. That is a concept espoused by Peter Joseph’s zeitgeist nonsense. We de-construct most of his baseless arguments in our film which you can see in the media section of this site. There will alway be trade, and therefore there will always be economy, and thus value. Unless you think we’ll be living in some Utopian pleasure dome where robots bring us margaritas all day, which I can tell you is also not going to happen anytime soon.
    Economy does not create evil and imbalance, people do through CHOICE. The elites have everything, yet they are not content. They CHOOSE imbalance, and the desire for power over others. We CHOOSE not to allow it. Living in a world of abundance would do nothing to change this inherent conflict. Period.

    This idea that the elites are invincible dark lords of the sith is just cartoonish, and frankly laughable. They are mostly old, physically feeble, psychopathic cowards, which is why they hide behind lies and witless thugs. They aren’t the fantastical phantoms you seem to imagine them to be. Anyone in power can be removed from power, and there are many methods to this end. Some peaceful, some revolutionary. Which method is used depends on the circumstances of the moment.

    If they were all powerful, they would already have their New World Order, and there would be no need for them to collapse the economy as they are doing, or to demonize the Liberty Movement. It would be a mute point would it not? They are doing what they are doing because we are a threat to them, and if they are threatened it means they are afraid. Take that into consideration before taking a defeatist attitude.

    Now that is simply not true. I quote myself: You can’t remove the elite just like that. My point here is perfectly clear. They are certainly removable but with certain decent plan. Then I am asking you some legitimate questions that every person or sheeple will ask you: How do you propose to achieve that? With open war? Revolution perhaps?

    I am not asking you for academic action plan Giordano but for real deal. What do you propose we should do to achieve the goal? :-)

    First, removing economy will change nothing. That is a concept espoused by Peter Joseph’s zeitgeist nonsense. We de-construct most of his arguments in our film which you can see in the media section of this site. There will alway be trade, and therefore there will always be economy, and thus value.

    But you have to agree that somewhere here lies the key to all of our problems. You have to agree that somewhere here lies the reason for ruthless exploitation of humans and earth. So once again I am asking you for the solution to this key problem. Business as usual is clearly not an option any more. Or is it?

    Unless you think we’ll be living in some Utopian pleasure dome where robots bring us margaritas all day, which I can tell you is also not going to happen anytime soon.

    You should look in to this with a little more perspective. We are more advanced and industrialization era is more or less over. Labor in huge scale was justifiable then but today with our civilization achievements and the impact on nature an humans is not any more. Or is it?

    By the way, the Amish also buy, sell, and trade, which means they also recognize “value”. They are not socialist, they shun government intervention in their lives. I live near them in Pennsylvania, so I would know.

    My grandpa used to live just like Amish do and he was certainly not an Amish here in Slovenia. I learned a lot from his simple life. The only “economy” he needed was food for tools exchange. No taxes, no government, stock exchange, no banks, no hospitals and other “modern” inventions to control and enslave people. :-)

    Essentially, you have come to a conclusion based on fear and projection. Your fear of taking legitimate action, your fear that you are not capable of making the change you wish to see.

    Unfortunately you are partially right here. My fear is based on the estimates on how many people we can convince to join us. Other than that you are way wrong. You have a pristine activist here with many scars. :-)

    This idea that the elites are invincible dark lords of the sith is just cartoonish, and frankly laughable.

    I do that intentionally as I found people realize trough this movie characters that the “dark side” is only a fiction in their head. Once I put the “evil” in this perspective they are more likely to pick our side – “the resistance”. :-)

    They are mostly old, physically feeble, psychopathic cowards, which is why they hide behind lies and witless thugs. They aren’t the fantastical phantoms you seem to imagine them to be. Anyone in power can be removed from power, and there are many methods to this end. Some peaceful, some revolutionary. Which method is used depends on the circumstances of the moment.

    Exactly my point. :-)

    Grand article as ever. It’s actually really nice to come to this site and read intelligently written, honest articles about the world we actually live in. They also help as a eloquent, well structured argument to open peoples eyes.

    To be honest with you i sometimes feel weighed down with the burden of truth that occasionally i wish i could eat prime steak in the matrix once more.. but these fleeting notions pass as once you’ve stepped out of the box it’s impossible to squeeze your mind back into such a restrictive space. Nor would you want to.

    This may sound lame (perhaps you may need to create a new ‘sheeple’ catagory here) but one of my main problems with opening certain peoples eyes is i hate being the ‘bad news machine’. I absolutely hate being the dude who tells you that almost everything you know is a lie, that this monolithic entity is conspiring to create a global 4th riche using the MSM and many aspects of our societal structure from gov to corporate (one and the same these days of course) to achieve this goal. To be honest this information still scares the living shit out of me and carrying the pin that bursts blissfully ignorant bubbles is a heavy burden for me.

    Some of my friends don’t want to talk about this anymore and i can understand why. Who initially wants to live outside of this seemingly safe version of reality? The truth will indeed set you free but after 30 years in the cell the outside world can be a scary place.

    Reading your articles really help. Thank you!

  45. 45 Brian said at 10:59 am on May 6th, 2010:

    First, that’s not really my website, just one I like.

    But more importantly:

    You’ve got the ‘Working-Class Idiot’ sheeple pegged as the ‘conservative’ good ole boy and the ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ as the yuppie consumer. But I’d like to add their sheeple class foils. (Although mine are not as fleshed out as yours are.)

    I’ll propose the ‘Blue Collar’ sheeple as the unionized foil. They are easily identified as by their blind trust in their union leaders even as jobs are leaving. They rightfully fight for higher wages as they see their CEO compensations grow, but fail to realize that TPTB use this as a global push. Harley Davidson in York recently had a union vote to increase tenured wages, yet reduce the size of the work force, giving Harley reduced costs and (temporarily) staying a move out of the city (after gov’t subsidies and tax breaks). Leading to technology give-aways as modern nations transplant jobs, skills, knowledge, power, wages to developing worlds, which further reduces the ‘Blue Collar’ competitive advantage. This class speaks and talks as the union says. The union is their collective ticket to upward mobility. And any CBA is their eternal right even if underlying assumptions are wrong (pensions). They don’t listen to any objections to the union line referring to the union line as the gospel. They frequently look down upon any non-unionize co-worker (teachers, electricians, etc…). And have been known to slash tires to ‘encourage’ union membership and support.

    Despite many union members are morally conservative (specifically pro-life), their unquestioning devotion to their union leads them to usually vote Democrat.

    This person values fairness, ‘public education’, and inclusiveness/collectiveness. They too believe they have a deep relationship with their conscience as defined by the MSM. They are typically well versed in headline news related to political correctness more so than the Working-Class Idiot but frequently get sidetracked with football and sit-coms (40 Rock) or cop dramas (Law and Order). They too ARE the ‘good guys’ for the middle class (and public good in the case of teachers) and also makes them easy to dupe and lead.

    The ‘Down and Out’ sheeple: This is a foil to the ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ (HGL) Sheeple. Just as the HGL’s are bought with their artificially and debt binged lifestyle, the ‘Down and Out’s (DAO) are bought with specialized programs when they ‘get out of line’, such as the No Child Left Behind and Community Reinvestment Act. This class is just as self-centered and entitlement mindset, but instead of being born with a silver spoon they are born with a sob story.

    They are identified as the trailer park or the public housing resident who abuses the collective/public benefit by scamming the system. This person has rarely or never attempted to better their ‘lot in life’ on their own and have consigned themselves to their fate or drown it in drink. They are the ones who have the big screen TV while receiving welfare. They are the ones who make fake attempts at getting a job to extend their unemployment benefits. The DAO cannot afford contraceptives or abortions like the HGLs, so they are the ones who have 5 kids with 5 men/women. They typically complain that they are getting a raw deal but have plenty of excuses as to why they can’t get out of their rut. Typically these excuses are someone else’s fault.

    They could be the most creative class, but lack the motivation to create. Their children have been quoted as saying ‘I don’t need to learn math, I can sit at home and do nothing and get a check in the mail like my mom.’ And so the cycle continues…

    This class typically does not vote unless given immediate motivation (food, Rock the Vote entertainment, a ride/company, etc). Many vote with the party credited with the New Deal and the New Society (although they have no idea about those terms). In reality, the party allegiance is hereditary (Skynard’s reference to ‘Daddy was a Southern Democrat’). Although some have been passed the ‘conservative’ morals and vote for ‘conservative’ Republicans, especially in the Bible Belt.

    Marcel: No. Apparently, Israel is built on the destruction of all that is Holy. Wanting to eradicate Zionism is not synonymous with, “Wanting to destroy Israel.”
    “Israelis,” [the imposters of biblical Israelites] were given a place to dwell, in peaceful co-existance, with Palestine’s ancient residents. Since 1948, Palestinians have faces religious, racial and cultural extermination. This modern “Israel” is a lie. Israel, is built on everything that the national socialists of Germany were and still are accused of as crimes against humanity to this day. Israel, is the hijacker of the Holy Land – of Palestine – and mustn’t be mistaken for the New Jerusalem spoken of in Revelation 21:2. Truth, ought to destroy lies. Zionism is unholy death, and, an absolute abomination and blasphemy. God will not be mocked.

    It also interests me, Marcel, that the loyal Islamists pay a special reverence to Christ, enough to cite, “Peace be upon Him,” following the mention of his name… and that it is the Talmudic Judaics whom, in their most Holy book, cite that Christ is in hell, boiling in hot semen and excrement for His, “Blasphemies.” [Babylonian Talmud - Gittin 57a.] It’s also curious that many Ultra Orthodox ZIONIST [Israeli imposters] have been found guilty of impersonating Muslims within “Islamic extremist revolutionary groups.” Google’s a wonderful tool…

    Interesting that you don’t quote yourself fully here, Peter. Let me do it for you:

    “You can’t remove the elite just like that. The use of the force would be a suicide. It is one thing if you piss against the wind but completely another if you piss against the government (elite).

    How do you propose to achieve that? With open war? Revolution perhaps? This was possible in last century but not in this one. The age of peoples revolution is long gone. Even sheeps have brains and I doubt many would join the open confrontation with the “dark side”.”

    This is a very nihilistic position. You have given up for all of us before making any attempt at changing the situation.

    What you are doing is using a common Alinsky debate tactic. You keep asking for a specific and detailed “game plan” to a problem that calls for shifting strategies, as I have explained. You know for a fact that no one can lay out such a detailed game plan for you because it does not exist, then use that to cry foul. This tactic is designed to distract away from the purpose of the discussion, which is to awaken people to the problem. By demanding some full schematic on defeating the NWO, knowing you will not get one, you are attempting to infer that pointing out the problem is mute.

    I also find it interesting that your written “accent” and off kilter grammar has suddenly disappeared. Why is that, Peter? Is it going to magically come back in your next post I wonder?

    Btw, a friend of mine just bought an Amish made bed frame, sold by Amish people. The government is attacking the Amish in my area for selling their own milk. Don’t tell me the Amish don’t believe in trade and Value.

    This is a very nihilistic position. You have given up for all of us before making any attempt at changing the situation.

    Oh this saddens me a lot Giordano. You are labelling me as an enemy just because I am asking you some legitimate questions. You have to have some sort of plan or at least guidelines to solve these problems for good. The averness of the problem is fine but it doesn’t solve the problem by itself, not on long term. You must agree on this.

    I just finished to watch all 12 of your Argentinian debt series on YouTube channel and I am asking you again how do you set a new better future for these people? You can’t say for them that they are sheeps, not for all of them and not after that many years of obvious unbelievable exploitation. They are aware of their position in this world. They fight it as much as they can but as you can clearly see it in the movies they are always failing again and again. Do you know why Goirdano?

    I’ll tall you why. There will always be someone that you can buy with the money and if that is not possible there will always be a way to eliminate the threat to the elite with use of brute force or with use of media (public discrimination). So the fight is enormous but it clearly generate some limited success. I am not telling you the fight is futile or useless but you have to agree that their unorganised approach contributes a lot to their constant failure.

    So I am asking you again Giordano. Do you have something new to offer? Is there some new approach we can suggest to them? How we can actively help them? How we can set a new future for all of us?

    What you are doing is using a common Alinsky debate tactic. You keep asking for a specific and detailed “game plan” to a problem that calls for shifting strategies, as I have explained. You know for a fact that no one can lay out such a detailed game plan for you because it does not exist, then use that to cry foul. This tactic is designed to distract away from the purpose of the discussion, which is to awaken people to the problem. By demanding some full schematic on defeating the NWO, knowing you will not get one, you are attempting to infer that pointing out the problem is mute.

    No I am not doing this. Promoting averness to the people of this problem is fine however at one point after you get certain critical level of awarness the majority will ask you “so now whats next Giordano” and you will have to provide a good answer.

    I also find it interesting that your written “accent” and off kilter grammar has suddenly disappeared. Why is that, Peter? Is it going to magically come back in your next post I wonder?

    Again don’t make me an enemy. You can check my IP. I am from Slovenia and my English is sometimes good but most of the times really bad.

    Btw, a friend of mine just bought an Amish made bed frame, sold by Amish people. The government is attacking the Amish in my area for selling their own milk. Don’t tell me the Amish don’t believe in trade and Value.

    Well why don’t you personally ask them what they think about the value. The trade us such is fine but you will be surprised to hear what they will tell you about the value. See their definition of value is quite different than our “modern” definition of value. Ask them. Ask them why they don’t cherish the technological value, why they don’t cherish the financial or stock value. Ask them Giordano. The fact that the government doesn’t like them is because the definition of value is different and obviously dangerous to the official “modern” version. :-)

    I too have feelings of despair and dis-attachment because I used to be a sheeple. My moral compass has always pointed towards libertarianism but now that I’ve read a lot about the financial meltdown, Jekyll island, FED, NWO shadow organizations, etc. I’ve had more trouble connecting with sheeple than ever. For people who break free of the matrix – it can be difficult on relationships. Its tough to read the news, get mindless work done, or discuss current events without feeling like it all doesn’t matter since the NWO train wreck is barreling towards us.

    I’ve also found it very difficult to make normal long term plans (graduate school apps, start family, build retirement savings, etc.) when you are anticipating such upheaval in the next few years. Gio, may I suggest writing an article on how newly freed sheeple can mentally deal with new enlightenment?

    Does making preparations (food, water, safety) bring calm feelings or exacerbate them? Does connecting with others in the liberty movement help with feelings of dis-attachment?

    You are continuing with the same old Alinsky tactic. I already explained quite clearly that the solutions to the NWO are dependent on the circumstances of the moment. You seem to be deliberately ignoring this.

    My solution to the situation, as I have stated before, is peaceful education of the masses and the creation of awareness now, and the rest depends on circumstances no one can foresee until they occur. To map out a single detailed plan in a shifting political and social environment is not only impractical, its ignorant. Solutions change when the problems decrease or increase.

    But lets assume that you really are Peter from Slovenia who ‘writes’ with an accent one post and then no accent in another post, and loves Socialism. (I’m sure you are very “saddened”. Now your accent is back…, you can stop playing the victim.)

    From what I gather from your posts, YOUR solution is to woo the elites (criminal psychotics)with a new version of the NWO, in which you believe all economy will somehow be erased and robots will do our bidding while we bask in technologically created Star Trek abundance. Is that your proposition?

    If so, then how do you plan to accomplish this? Why would the elites have any interest in your concept of the NWO when they are so ingrained in their own?

    The idea that money is the cause of all our ills is, once again, a distraction from the real issue; people CHOOSE imbalance and evil, it is not forced upon them by economy. The elites are a perfect example of those who live in abundance and yet still desire power and control over others. Getting rid of economy does not change the fundamental process of conscience, or the lack of conscience. If you can come up with a detailed solution to THAT problem, then maybe I could take you more seriously.

    AMAZING ARTICLE!

    Holy Cow Batman!

    Who writes like this guy? Nobody. I know he won’t take the praise, but, honestly, I thank God every day that he is on our side.

    BTW, do you you know why he is on our side? Let me show you. He knows the truth.

    Go to http://neithercorp.us/sdsl and watch, intently, this 30 minute video. I suspect 2 things. 1) Thats him speaking. 2) He, with help from others, scripted and wrote this. (I think Ogden did a lot of the media.)

    Thank you Gio, for all you do! Both of you guys are amazing. Where would we be without you? That place would not be as good as this place. Thank you.

    Amazing comments in here to. How does this site attract so many top notch minds? I’ll tell you how: freedom is INFECTIOUS! It makes Ebola look like a snotty nose.

    I come here and I read the articles and I realize, I’m just a toddler. To all of you great freedom oriented minds:

    SALUTE!

    Keep up the good work folks. It doesn’t take a majority to win this fight. It takes will and it takes effort.

    All the action on here gives me hope that we can weather this storm. With Ogden, Gio and so many good people out there hammering away at the beast, I think I better start digging a big hole for that dishonest giant to fall into!

    insightful observation on the symptoms but not the cause of sheepishness for were you not sheep once still are and still to be as long as you do no realize as much as you know ye no nothing at all…for you are struggling against world view perceptions, a manifestation of ego which perpetually blinds people to the greater truth that all is nothingness, and nothingness is all. I think therefore I am is the lie for which all are entrapped, I know therefore I am is the truth… for to know is to be aware of the eternal present…only then can one truly understand the transient nature of all things…your fears your hopes your dreams are ultimately meaningless in the scale of eternity. All shall pass away but I Am that I am is forever. We light bringers of the new age know more than you can possibly understand through logos alone…therefore we are unconcerned on such petty things in this illusory world…know we set are sights on ascension to realms of higher experience, to the eternal bliss of the now. Namaste :)

    Yes,you are using the same Alinsky tactic, and its not working, so your only option is to push forward as if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

    Also, you’re using random tangents in an attempt to confuse the discussion. What does the oil spill in the gulf have to do with the NWO? The oil spill is a singular and accidental event with a very direct set of problems. The NWO is an ongoing and engineered event with problems that change according to social shifts. Its a child’s comparison.

    Argentina’s crisis was caused by elitist banks creating artificial monetary bubbles and then collapsing them deliberately. If the Argentinians had been made aware on a large scale of this fact, perhaps they could have stopped it, or prepared for it. Our situation is the same, except we have some time to warn the people before the final bubble burst. This is the only practical solution to the situation at THIS MOMENT. Circumstances could change tomorrow. Therefore, setting out a highly specialized and detailed plan now to end the NWO is a waste of time, because the circumstances could change very quickly, rendering the plan you just made obsolete. What I’m saying is, your question is rendered irrelevant by the aspects of the problem itself.

    The only solution to this particular problem is one that involves fluid and general strategies, as I have already explained for the third time. The moment you get into specifics, you fail.

    This is not naive, this is rational.

    You change your stance on a whim or you take an erroneous stance that can be interpreted several different ways. You also use Alinsky tactics to confuse discussion, attempting to direct things away from the original root of the debate. Maybe you are doing this unknowingly, but these are the common methods of a disinfo-troll.

    What is your actual stance? Define it. Lay it out in certain terms instead of broad terms like “we should get rid of artificial value”. That’s not a solution. Its not even a stance.

    You asked me for a specific and diagrammed solution to the problem of the NWO. I outlined several times why that is not possible. If you think it is possible, then show me your specific diagrammed solution and the facts that support its viability. Don’t just call me naive and say I am wrong, PROVE me wrong.

    Also, I’m sorry you feel “attacked”, but that’s really not my problem. Lay out the specifics of what you believe, why it is practical, and stop using Alinsky tactics, and maybe I’ll be more gentle with you.

    I agree. Preparation really helps to keep yourself sane. Talking to people can also, even sheeple, if you can keep from becoming horrified by their absurd ideas on the world.

    If it makes anyone feel any better, I run into survivalists and Liberty Movement people almost daily now where I live. Its really incredible. There are so many of us now, I could have barely guessed 3 or 4 years ago that we would get this far this fast.

  62. 62 patrimus bagwell said at 9:38 pm on May 6th, 2010:

    giordano,
    your article is right on the money and i have been aware of the problem of ‘sheeple’ for a number of years now…..the problem i have with them is not acknowledging their existence but finding a solution as to how they can be ‘woken-up’ to the true nature of reality???

    you have offered the following solution: “peaceful education of the masses and the creation of awareness now” ……..
    i can assure you that this is easier said than done for numerous reasons….i have travelled to around 50 countries and i see the same problems, and i meet the same sheeple over and over again from the biggest shitholes in nicaragua to plushest of hotels in europe – they are absolutely everywhere and they are multiplying at an alarming rate! there are simply too many of them!! (i recently read that the number of muslims in the u.s has now outnumbered the number of jewish, and globally islam continues to grow as do all the major religions)…..

    one major problem i see is that u will never stop sheeple reproducing and i can guarantee that they will always continue to have substantially more offspring than people like you or i…..people that are truely aware will always have the least offspring so were fighting a losing battle….

    another major problem i see is that to awaken people u need to have power – be it financial, political, military or religious – these are the people the sheeple listen to – not to the likes of you or i – our audience of appreciation will only ever be tiny in comparison…….

    although i admire your intentions i cant help but feel that the task of awakening the sheeple is simple too big……its never gona happen…..you would have to get rid of organized religion for starters and that is never gona happen…………………

  63. 63 giordano said at 9:52 pm on May 6th, 2010:

    Patrimus:

    I think your definition of Sheeple is different from mine. As I stated in the article, people who are unaware of the facts are not necessarily “sheeple”. They just haven’t been properly exposed to the information. Not all people in religion are sheeple either. Remember, it was Christian organizations in the 50′s and 60′s that really brought out the information on the NWO to a wider public.

    Some might not agree with their spiritual orientation, but that does not make them sheeple.

    A true sheeple is someone who is exposed to supported facts consistently and yet remains in denial, or dismisses them outright without any consideration. Those who are willfully ignorant.

    I think you might be going about this the wrong way. Don’t set out to change the whole world at once. Just set out to inform one person at a time. No one is expecting you to be Martin Luther King. Just do what is within your power to do.

    Remember, I have been working in this movement for a while now, and I can tell you from experience that what we are doing IS having an effect. This movement is growing by leaps and bounds. Don’t look for immediate results, or you will be disappointed, but do look for gradual and exponential ones.

  64. 64 greaseman said at 10:00 pm on May 6th, 2010:

    A very well written analysis of sheeple. I think you have the types pegged very well. I find it near impossible to point out some of the obvious directions we are headed in, and how we are all manipulated by our government, to other folks I get in a conversation with. I have tried to convince family members of the coming conditions, but am met with blank stares. Oh well, they will see it all come to pass soon enough, in one manner or another.

  65. 65 Peter said at 1:41 am on May 7th, 2010:

    Yes,you are using the same Alinsky tactic, and its not working, so your only option is to push forward as if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

    I checked all the Alinsky tactic rules and I still don’t now how they apply on this particular exchange of opinions. As I can see from these rules the only way they can function is that you need somebody unprepared for the debate or completely without arguments. Otherwise they are useless or even harmless. If you do have arguments then the rules can only bring more different views and options into debate. Personally I think you are hiding behind these Alinsky tactic because you are essentially on the right path but you don’t know or can’t predict the road ahead. There is nothing wrong in this but it is naive to think you will solve the problems somehow on this road as they jump in front of you. The history is full noble people that walked firmly but blindly on that same road Giordano. M.L. King or Kennedy for example.

    Also, you’re using random tangents in an attempt to confuse the discussion. What does the oil spill in the gulf have to do with the NWO? The oil spill is a singular and accidental event with a very direct set of problems. The NWO is an ongoing and engineered event with problems that change according to social shifts. Its a child’s comparison.

    I used this as an example. The NWO is controlled by few peoples who have armies, police, Mafia, church, IMF and other forces on their disposal. You just can’t eliminate them with peoples awareness alone. Argentinians tried that and miserably failed not once but several times. Did you see those moves about Argentinian debts? Look at them. It is all there. What makes you believe you Americans are different to the elites from Argentinians? You need something that will erode NWO from within or render it obsolete. Otherwise you are walking ducks for them since they are watching you and controlling you like a predator. What is interesting they don’t need to kill you any more like they did with M.L. King. These days they have media to totally discredit you. Terrorists or militia are very popular labels (tags) these days. Again walking on this road is fine but don’t be blind and naive. It is a sincere, honest and friendly suggestion not an insult to you intelligence.

    Argentina’s crisis was caused by elitist banks creating artificial monetary bubbles and then collapsing them deliberately. If the Argentinians had been made aware on a large scale of this fact, perhaps they could have stopped it, or prepared for it. Our situation is the same, except we have some time to warn the people before the final bubble burst. This is the only practical solution to the situation at THIS MOMENT. Circumstances could change tomorrow. Therefore, setting out a highly specialized and detailed plan now to end the NWO is a waste of time, because the circumstances could change very quickly, rendering the plan you just made obsolete. What I’m saying is, your question is rendered irrelevant by the aspects of the problem itself.

    Your point of view clearly show you don’t have all information on how the elite work or what elite is. The Argentinian scenario is not an accident. It was carefully planed plan and they have executed it with surgical precision. You can clearly see that in the movies. It is how the elite controls the world or NWO in it “best” picture. I think the time is running out for all of us free souls. The final move of NWO is straight ahead in front of us and from what I can see the future is quite dark. The Argentinian campaign is just one battle that the elites won over us free souls. There are many battles just like that and they are part of carefully guided WAR Giordano. The Greece battle is unfolding right now. I sincerely fear you are not aware with what a huge monster you are dealing with. All I can suggest to you is to wake up. The path is fine but please wake up. Again: It is a sincere, honest and friendly suggestion not an insult to you intelligence.

    The only solution to this particular problem is one that involves fluid and general strategies, as I have already explained for the third time. The moment you get into specifics, you fail.

    Guerrillas fight or adaptation to the problems is fine but even then you have to have some basic guidelines or plan. You should at least know where to jump from the road when the problem occurs. To the left or to the right. It is an dumb example but I guess you will have to discover that by yourself.

    You change your stance on a whim or you take an erroneous stance that can be interpreted several different ways. You also use Alinsky tactics to confuse discussion, attempting to direct things away from the original root of the debate. Maybe you are doing this unknowingly, but these are the common methods of a disinfo-troll.

    The original route of the debate is our future and our destiny. This is the fundamental CORE of all debates. The question in this particular debate is how can we convince more people to join us, wake them up, how can we explain to them what is going on and most importantly what to do and SURVIVE after they they are awakened from the matrix. We need some practical advices on this issue not just academic debate. Another extremely important issue is how to practically AVOID the elites and their NWO until we defeat them? These are genuine questions Giordano. If we don’t find the clear and precise answers to them then I am afraid we are walking blindly on this very dangerous road.

    What is your actual stance? Define it. Lay it out in certain terms instead of broad terms like “we should get rid of artificial value”. That’s not a solution. Its not even a stance.

    The artificial value or also called the speculated value is part of “modern” or “controlled” economy. It is a carefully engineered virus from the elites that killed the genuine and honest trade Giordano. Make no mistake in thinking this was an lab accident. It is the virus that is purring into the US too. It is the engine that moves the NWO and the elites. Check the Argentinian video Giordano. It is all there, you just have to watch the story from different perspective.

    You asked me for a specific and diagrammed solution to the problem of the NWO. I outlined several times why that is not possible. If you think it is possible, then show me your specific diagrammed solution and the facts that support its viability. Don’t just call me naive and say I am wrong, PROVE me wrong.

    I really can’t. I would like to but I really can’t do that for you. You will have to see it with your own eyes and discover that by yourself. There is no other way. You will have to take “the pill” at some point and really wake up from the matrix. It is a reviling experience and it scared me a lot. This might sound insulting to you but it is really not. You will have to find the engine that moves the elites and their NWO by yourself. All I can give you are some directions. Once you find that engine you will see how Amish people fall into the story, why the Argentinian scenario was possible, what is going on in Greece and most importantly what they are preparing for you American people. I hope you will find the strength for the search.

    I am affright even the liberty movement will fail at one point if it doesn’t take in the consideration this key element that makes possible NWO. We have to take into complete account nature, earth, wild animals and human souls and real value otherwise we risk once again a narrow or blind view. We can become once again vulnerable to the value virus.

    Also, I’m sorry you feel “attacked”, but that’s really not my problem. Lay out the specifics of what you believe, why it is practical, and stop using Alinsky tactics, and maybe I’ll be more gentle with you.

    This might sound stupid to you but I would love someone would prove me wrong or even dumb but with clear and precise arguments. Right now from what I know and from what I see the future for all of us is dark. We are simply running out of time and they are closing in fast. I really don’t care about me but I do care about my two kids and their future.

    Peter:

    You apparently did not read my entire post or did not understand my points, so lets go over this yet again…

    Alinsky tacticians often attempt to force their opponents in debate to offer up an immediate and specific solution to a complex problem. They do this to draw the discussion away from the existence of the problem itself, as if to say “see, you can’t solve the problem so what’s the point…” Alinsky tactics are designed to subvert legitimate discussion, not further it. Even Alinsky admitted to this. I suggest you read up on him before commenting. I did offer the only viable solution at this moment. Whether you agree that it will work is really meaningless, because its a hypothetical argument. We’ll find out if it worked when we either have a NWO, or we don’t. You also have yet to show me a better option.

    You said: “The question in this particular debate is how can we convince more people to join us, wake them up, how can we explain to them what is going on and most importantly what to do and SURVIVE after they they are awakened from the matrix. We need some practical advices on this issue not just academic debate.”

    And your solution to this problem is…? I’m assuming you have one that is far superior to the one we are using now; informing people of the existence of the problem itself, and promoting activism to spread the info further. We do also teach people about survivalism, though I’m not sure what gave you the impression that we need to qualify ourselves to you. If you don’t have a better solution, then what is the point of your argument?

    You said: “Your point of view clearly show you don’t have all information on how the elite work or what elite is. The Argentinian scenario is not an accident. It was carefully planed plan and they have executed it with surgical precision.”

    If you go back and actually READ my post, that is EXACTLY what I said. Argentina’s collapse was engineered. Please read my full post if you are going to respond to it.

    You said: “The artificial value or also called the speculated value is part of “modern” or “controlled” economy. It is a carefully engineered virus from the elites that killed the genuine and honest trade..”

    This is in no way a clear definition. You have yet to explain exactly what you mean by “artificial value”. I asked you to explain your stance on this in detail and you still haven’t done it. Its an incredibly ambiguous argument with way too much room for interpretation. I don’t think you even know exactly what you mean by it. What in your opinion defines “artificial value”?

    You said: “I really can’t. I would like to but I really can’t do that for you. You will have to see it with your own eyes and discover that by yourself.”

    So, you feel it necessary to criticize me for not offering up a highly detailed blueprint for defeating the NWO, even though you can’t do it yourself? That’s rather hypocritical, don’t you think?

    Believe me, in my field of writing, I run into people all the time who claim they have THE ANSWER, yet when I ask them to explain in detail what that answer is, they give me nothing but metaphysical mumbo jumbo about “escaping the matrix” and “seek it out in my minds eye” yadda yadda, etc…
    I’m just asking what you supposedly know that the rest of us “in the matrix” don’t know? Is it that money is “bad”? Because I’ve heard that one before and I can dismantle that argument all day if that is the position you are espousing. Please explain exactly what your position is…

    You said: “I am affright even the liberty movement will fail at one point if it doesn’t take in the consideration this key element that makes possible NWO.”

    You still have not specified what that “key element” is that you claim we are missing, and why it is a key element. Please explain further.

    You said: “This might sound stupid to you but I would love someone would prove me wrong or even dumb but with clear and precise arguments.”

    It doesn’t sound stupid, except that you haven’t clearly defined what you actually believe, making it impossible to prove you wrong. No one can develop precise arguments in opposition unless you clearly define your own.

    That is precisely what they are counting on. I am sorry to burst the bubble for you but with this mentality however noble you are doomed right from the start. It is all in the movies but you are clearly unable to see them in different perspective. And not only in the movies. The clues and signs are everyware you just don’t recognize them as important. I found that people have huge problem in looking trough other peoples eyes to understand what is going on. In fact most of them don’t want to do that or even don’t care to bother. As if this process is so mentally so demanding. But the enemy does Giordano. They know as extremely well. In fact they use an official scientist approach to study us to better control us. That is the reason why we fail in the same enslavement trap over and over again throughout the human history. Giordano they have a plan and we don’t.

    You said: “The question in this particular debate is how can we convince more people to join us, wake them up, how can we explain to them what is going on and most importantly what to do and SURVIVE after they they are awakened from the matrix.

If you don’t have a better solution, then what is the point of your argument?

    You don’t like “my” solution. In fact nobody wants “my” solution. It is not really mine solution, I didn’t invent it, it is not even “superior” but it is probably the most obvious or logical one. The pill requires you to think way out of the standard box. It requires you to completely understand the world not from your nose perspective but from the elites perspective. It requires you to properly understand their engine. The money.

    Now once you go into this territory it is like there is a huge unbelievable mountain in front of you when you try to explain the proper concept of money to the people. In fact when asked what is money most of them say it is a paper to buy some goods or something like that. Only a few will tell you it is a carrier of a precise VALUE.

    Money is so cemented in our brains that people just can’t understand how could we possibly live without it or how could the world go without it. In fact in your video “Sons of Darkness / Sons of Light” you can literally smell it was carefully but artificially planted in our brains throughout history as if money was part of our genetic code Giordano. The truth is VALUE is part of our genetic code not the money as the carrier. But OK. It seems that people just needed something “solid” to identify the value and money is one of the instrument to do just that. In the history we used several other tools to identify or to carry value but this one is picked carefully by the elite because it is the only one that allows the elite to HEAVILY speculate on it. And boy do they speculate on the value.

    Here lies the evil Giordano.

    So how do we solve the problem? By eliminating money? In the future if we ever survive this mess I am positive money will become obsolete but right now this is obviously an utopic idea. If you mention this idea it is like taking lollipops out of peoples mouths. The face and reaction is more or less the same. I found it is a shame we don’t give more thoughts or constructive debate into this possibility.

    So we need to let the people know there is a SERIOUS problem of VALUE in money and how it is misused by the elites to enslave us trough “modern” economy (taxes, credits, interests ,…). Once you eliminate the option to speculate on VALUE you are in fact removing the very fuel that moves the engine of NVO. You are literally puling down onto the ground the elites without a single shot. Individualism and liberty movement is a start but without a proper FIXED control of the VALUE or the carrier of the value we are walking again on deja vu path. If Argentinians would know that they could easily identify the thief before the election not after the election. In fact I am sure nobody would go to the election and the country would literally stop until this value problem is fixed.

    So, you feel it necessary to criticize me for not offering up a highly detailed blueprint for defeating the NWO, even though you can’t do it yourself? That’s rather hypocritical, don’t you think?

    I am not criticizing you. Where do you find that? I am barely thinking loud, exchanging ideas, opinions and questions. Gi Giordano. :-)

    Believe me, in my field of writing, I run into people all the time who claim they have THE ANSWER, yet when I ask them to explain in detail what that answer is, they give me nothing but metaphysical mumbo jumbo about “escaping the matrix” and “seek it out in my minds eye” yadda yadda, etc…

    Peter:

    Thank you for finally (sort of)establishing your position.

    Firstly, don’t backtrack on your previous comments. You said:

    “While this is an obvious and logical suggestion as the solution of the problem it is also very naive one. You can’t remove the elite just like that. The use of the force would be a suicide. It is one thing if you piss against the wind but completely another if you piss against the government (elite).

    How do you propose to achieve that? With open war? Revolution perhaps? This was possible in last century but not in this one. The age of peoples revolution is long gone. Even sheeps have brains and I doubt many would join the open confrontation with the “dark side”.”

    You also said:

    “I am not asking you for academic action plan Giordano but for real deal. What do you propose we should do to achieve the goal?”

    You repeated these types of comments several times. I’m not sure how they interpret that kind of statement in your country, but here, that is called criticism.

    You asked me to offer up a detailed solution, then could not provide one yourself. A highly hypocritical stance.

    You said:

    “You will find nowhere in my posts the claim that I have the final or ultimate solution or the answer to all problems.”

    And yet you claim in one of your previous posts:

    “If you ask me the only way is if you plant a new mentality within the people and the elite. Like a good virus. It has to be something that will save, compensate or render obsolete the VALUE.”

    So yes, you do claim to have the “only” solution, though you never did completely describe what that solution was or how you would make it come about. Again, hypocritical.

    So, now that we finally have a semi-substantiated theory from you, we can have a real discussion.

    First, how exactly do you plan to remove “speculation” from the value of currency or goods?

    If you want to remove it from currency, then you would have to remove Central Banking from the equation and fix currency to a commodity like gold. This is something I suggest here all the time, and Ron Paul’s Fed Audit bill would be the first step in accomplishing it. So, perhaps we are not all against your idea as you propose.

    As far as a fixed price on goods is concerned, that is never going to happen. The laws of supply and demand rule over the value of goods. Even governments have a hard time manipulating that. We will always have speculation on goods and services because supply and demand fluctuate. This is part of a healthy economy, unlike the manipulated one we have had for over a century.

    As far as “value” vs. Individualism, I’m going to have say that value is a distant second. Changing the rules of currency does not change the human heart. It might make things a little easier, but elitism can still exist and has existed in spite of fixed currencies. Only through the promotion of self awareness in an entire society would the inherent conflicts of conscience be dealt with. Changing the economic structure is a stop-gap. Promoting free thought and honorability among men takes more effort, but its effects would be far reaching, perhaps for centuries to come.

    Firstly, don’t backtrack on your previous comments. You said: …..

    You can’t just pick up some of my comments out of the whole post not without proper understanding of complete posts and say just like that I am criticizing you. It is way out of the context and frankly childish.

    I agree but I fear they would find the way to speculate on its value too. At least it would be quite hard I guess.

    As far as a fixed price on goods is concerned, that is never going to happen. The laws of supply and demand rule over the value of goods. Even governments have a hard time manipulating that. We will always have speculation on goods and services because supply and demand fluctuate. This is part of a healthy economy, unlike the manipulated one we have had for over a century.

    It is not trade or economy that is the problem it is the carrier of the value that is the real problem. As I sad it before you will have to learn it obviously the hard way all by yourself.

    Ok this is my last shot and then I give up.

    You have an apple in US and have an apple here in Slovenia. Same taxes, same added profit, same cost of labour force in fact same everything. Your apple is worth 1 USD and mine 1 EUR. Can you explain to me what VALUE do you have in your hand in America and what VALUE I am holding in my hand here in Slovenia. :-)

    As far as “value” vs. Individualism, I’m going to have say that value is a distant second. Changing the rules of currency does not change the human heart.

    Again I never sad value against individualism. I sad individualism without the control of value. They are of course complementary.

    After reading Peter and Gio’s posts I can understand why Peter and Gio feel the way they do . I think the bottom line for all of us is that…this shit is frustrating. We are “attacked” from all angles.Often we are our own worst enemy when it comes to debate and drawing lines with our own feeling,stances and issues that seem never ending.I agree in the sense the two of you are {all of us really] are on the same “side” so the cockfighting that can occur{to me anyway} is just semantics/differing views.Gio however I feel is looking at the NWO problem and solution in the “martial art” way which is constant change and adaptation to that change when it arises{yin/yang concepts}.Their are no linear moves that will be effective 100% all the time,nor a “battle plan” to be drawn up in the realm of a point “a” to point “b” solution.
    I think if we all here can continue to jostle ideas,share views openly and in general just lay down our “fixed” views of solutions we may be able to come together in a different light.Otherwise this place will look like an infowars blast/chat board.lol!

    Great article Giordano!

    I think what Peter is referring to by “real” versus “artificial” value is for example, on a desert island an apple would have real value because you could eat it to help you survive. A one dollar federal reserve note would be “artificial value” because it has no inherent value, you can’t eat it or do anything really useful with it without someone else to trade it to for something of “real value.” It’s value comes from government fiat and the “absurd faith” that it is worth something, as the Fed says (http://cryptogon.com/?p=706).

    Or for another example, a house is worth it’s inherent “real” value as a useful shelter, location, etc, in relation to demand in a free market, but artificial government/corporate fraud created demand through insane home loans can artificially raise the demand to raise the “artificial value” of the house beyond it’s “real value”. Here are a few articles I tried to look up that might explain a little more, but not the exact one I was looking for that might explain better.

    Peter:

    You said:

    “You can’t just pick up some of my comments out of the whole post not without proper understanding of complete posts and say just like that I am criticizing you. It is way out of the context and frankly childish.”

    I’m not taking your comments out of context, its right there in black and white for anyone to see. Why not just own up to your previous statements? Is it really that difficult? The primary point here is that you demanded a mapped out solution to the NWO that met YOUR standards, yet could not produce one yourself. I’m trying to save you from future embarrassment, Peter. If you’re going to approach people with this line of thinking you need to be able to back up what you say with something tangible.

    You said:

    “You have an apple in US and have an apple here in Slovenia. Same taxes, same added profit, same cost of labour force in fact same everything. Your apple is worth 1 USD and mine 1 EUR. Can you explain to me what VALUE do you have in your hand in America and what VALUE I am holding in my hand here in Slovenia.”

    Sometimes economics is a complicated issue because economists force it to be. They create confusion and obscure language in order to dissuade the masses from understanding what is really going on in their world. I understand where you are coming from in regards to “added value”, but even when you remove the tangled web of nonsense surrounding financial analysis, it still never gets quite as simple as I think you would like it to be.

    For instance, the value of that apple you hold in your hand might be worth MORE in Slovenia than in the U.S. if the DEMAND for apples is higher, or your supply is lower.

    Say Slovenians love apples like crazy one year. Just can’t get enough. And American’s are indifferent to them. The demand in Slovenia would drive down supply, thus making apples more rare, which would warrant an increase in their value. While in America, the price of that same apple would remain low.

    Even if you were in a barter economy with no currency whatsoever, the supply/demand rule would still take over value, as it has since we were living in caves. In fact, if a Slovenian was to try to trade an apple to an American who already had a barrel of apples, the American might not be interested at all, thus, the Slovenians apple has just lost all its value (besides it being edible). I would compare it to a physical law. Unless you can create an infinite supply of apples, the value is going to change due to region and demand. There’s really no way around it, nor do I see any problem with it. Its when elite minorities of men decide to interfere with the laws of supply and demand that we get problems in economy.

    Deviance:

    So you feel “judged” by the article then? Why is that, deviance? I would ask yourself first why you are so defensive about it before accusing me of being judgmental. Perhaps you fit directly into one of the categories I described and this bothers you. If so, then that’s a good thing. You should be bothered if you discover that you have sheeple-like qualities, or find yourself unaware of certain facts. I would also ask you to consider that perhaps the harsh language of the article is MEANT to shock people out of their apathy and make them a little angry. All I can suggest is, if your personal character really does bother you that much, then change it. Maybe then the article won’t make you feel defensive anymore.

    Also, I find it interesting that you see the distribution of these facts as “pessimistic”. I’m actually encouraging people to be proactive in becoming self aware, and helping others to do so. It WOULD be pessimistic if I was to claim that sheeple are a lost cause and there is no point in trying to confront any of the problems I listed. However, I actually say the OPPOSITE of that in the article. Perhaps you should read it again with a more open mind.

    As I have written in numerous past articles (I also recommend you read those), I was a Quasi-Activist for a long time. I had little to no real understanding of the issues I was protesting, I only knew there was something very wrong with the world. It was not until the Bush/Kerry election that I finally woke up to the false left/right paradigm and committed to further research. I will always have more to learn of course, but I think I have a firm enough understanding of the fundamental reality of the world to say confidently that I am no longer a “sheeple”.

    And, as I have said before, even if someone is unaware of the facts, but is still open to learning them, I don’t really consider them sheeple. Its those who are willfully ignorant despite being exposed to the truth that fall under that label.

    Also, surely, getting laid will solve all the world problems. Thanks for the suggestion…

  83. 83 DA_drty$hylock said at 4:12 pm on May 7th, 2010:

    A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing. We all learn through a process of identification. I like the thought process behind this article however Gio’s definitions of “sheeple” and the NWO agenda is a little too black and white for me based on this article, now if he had some links showing how he arrived to such conclusions would help me validate his understanding. I’m going to propose my position at the beginning and although it may irritate some of you here I’m going to be a fence sitter and classify the above article as Gio’s worldview which I feel is fair and accurate. The biggest criticism I have is that I think Gio is being too absolute in his identification process and what is left is a precarious strawman argument. Where he is putting people, first the sheeple into different nicely packaged and defined sects which they may or may not hold (who really knows). He does the same with the ruling elite stating they all maintain the same position of world dominance (which may or may not be true). Again, I’m not saying he is wrong, I just don’t have all the information that helped him reach this conclusion.

    Peter seems to have a sensible approach. Gio is crying foul and pointing his finger at the NWO elitests while Peter is asking what next? How do me combat such a powerful enemy? What we are really talking about is saving the world, but to do that wouldn’t we have to address each problem at a time. Big Chief states…

    We contribute to our subjugation by giving our consent to be ruled by the elites. Whence the fists with with they beat us? They are our own. Whence the eyes with which they continually watch us? They are our own. We must withdraw our consent.

    Withdraw our consent… does this mean quit our job, boycott a product or corporation, shoot ourselves? I like to find what every country has in common and go from there. We all use money, we all have a religion/culture and language we use, we all have music and art. We all bleed, breed, breath, excrete and eventually die. We have Communism, Socialism, Corporatism, and Fascism as our political perspectives. We all evolved from egalitarian tribes.

    In America and Singapore at least we have turned into unequal social heirarchies ruled by oligarchies, instead of democracy we have “kleptocracy” where congress instead of protecting the people join in with corporations in the stealing and corruption. All we have is our labor to sell and when we clock into work we enter despotism and a corporate dictatorship. We have usury, and what seems as a self-centered pursuit of materialism and unrelenting competition for economic growth where the bottom line is profit which is more valuable than human life. We have politicians who adhere to religious dogma when passing statutes and policies in a country that was founded on separation of church and state. This is my world view. I too feel sometimes that humanity is lost and there is no such thing as morality.

    The most reasonable solution I have found is in a wonderful book called The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger. Two epidemiologists use the same methodology in tracing disease in populations to look at over 30 years of data in regards to social problems and how it correlates to social economic inequality. If you want a society that trusts eachother and with fewer social problems you need greater equality. He offers two solutions, one is a steady state economy….

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_economy

    and the other option he gives among many others is employee owned corporations…

    DA_drty$hylock:

    As far as the sheeple issue is concerned, my observations come from dealing with hundreds of thousands of people while writing for years in this field. I feel that I am qualified to cover the social conflicts inherent in this movement. Almost anyone who works extensively in the Liberty Movement will tell you that the observation I’ve made on the character qualities of those who refuse irrationally to listen to what we have to say are general, but common to run into.

    These are not “black and white” observations. Just as there are psychological qualities that define people into certain groups (such as extrovert vs. introvert) there are also qualities that define the open minded and unbiased from those who are willfully ignorant or in denial. It is not a matter of black and white, but a matter of fact.

    I hear argument’s like Peter’s often. “So what are we going to do about it”, or, “Give me a solution that meets MY standards.” The problem is, not a single one of these people has ever put their money where their mouth is and actually produced a practical solution that is applicable NOW. Instead, I hear endless circular arguments about abstract ideas such as changing the “concept of value”. These are GOALS, not SOLUTIONS. If Peter or anyone else can tell me how exactly they plan to get the Globalists to abandon their objectives and go along with these abstract goals, or how they plan to remove the Globalists as an obstacle, then maybe that would give them a good enough reason to expect better solutions from me.

    We do offer solutions, but they are solutions that many people do not like, because they require hard work and sacrifice. There is no painless, simple, magic bullet. Since the elites control most major events and the manner in which they occur, our solution is to remain fluid, prepared for all eventualities, and informing as many people as possible until the movement reaches a point where IT has more power in determining the manner and timing of events. We are not there yet, but we are close.

    This method works, which is exactly why the elites are so desperate to demonize the Liberty Movement in the media, or use disinfo-trolls to derail honest discussion and distract people from the fundamentals.

    In terms of Globalism and the NWO, I recommend you read through the previous articles on this site, which contain their beliefs in their own words and official documentation.

    I think if you were to further your research into the NWO, and then try to talk to others who are in denial, you might better see where I am coming from in this article.

    Don’t forget to mention how the voice of women is constantly being dismissed. I have seen a trend on the internet forums/comments where mostly males voice their opinion. Someone asks me why women don’t take an interest? It’s because nobody listens to them, or when they voice a good opinion or thoughtful solution it is usually ignored until it ends up being written by a guy that has taken the idea. Women therefore stck to talking about “relationships” of all kinds, which if you go over to alternet are quite popular. Women who delve into politics, econs, and other “traditionally” male enterprises are basically snuffed out. Until men get their shit together I’m afraid the world will continue to unravel. Recently a man told me that all women are a bit less human than men. It is 2010, and women are more objectified now than any time in history. People talk about how badly Middle East treats women. The West sold its women to the highest bidder.

    Terry:

    I read the responses on your link and actually was pleasantly surprised to find some level headed statements. All in all, that forum is relatively balanced.

    A few things you could mention to the group if you want:

    A) I’m finding that a lot of people are really shocked at the fact that I bluntly criticize in this article. We have been taught to treat “judgment” as “arrogance”. But Judgment is something we all do in order to discern our feelings on balanced decisions and imbalanced decisions. Healthy environment, and unhealthy environment. There is nothing wrong with discriminating against behavior which goes against our conscience (an inborn and archetypal psychological quality).

    Also, yes, I’m blunt, but I got some pretty substantial reactions, didn’t I….

    B) I am not so much judging PEOPLE in this article, as I am judging BEHAVIORS. There is a difference. But I do find it interesting that some folks get so defensive after reading it. Maybe they see a bit of themselves in my descriptions, and this upsets them. If that is so, they should be far more worried about their personal conflicts, and less worried about my judgments. As I say in the article, people who are open to new truths are not sheeple, even if they are uninformed. I’m speaking more of people who are exposed to the truth and willfully ignore it…

    C) To show your forum that I am not biased against spiritualism in general, they can watch our film ‘Son’s of Darkness, Sons of Light’, here:

    http://neithercorp.us/media

    The bottom line is, I am for truth, and honorability. I am against lies, false persona, and destructive conceit. These are in the end individual choices each man makes for himself. My goal is to help them see the wisdom in choosing the former, rather than the latter.

    Terry:
    Reading those posts…I felt the revolsion that they were feeling for the actual article towards most of them.
    But I know that is just a reaction of my “lower” self in respects to their perspective being so alien to my own.

    I’m pretty sure I could learn a few things from them in regards of the higher plains. I might even take that journey some day.

    But their focus seems so focused on reaching the higher ‘higher vibrations” to the point of excluding the ’3rd dimensional’ perspective.
    I believe they even fear their carnal self. Shocked by it…looking for ways to shun/avoid dealing with the mess it brings.

    Is your purpose to influence them?
    Or is your purpose was to get an idea of how they see what Gio is presenting?

    If the former, I would not suggest using his teachings directly. His focus is on waking people up…to snap them out of the illusions created by those in power. On inducing a knee jerk reaction from them so to speak.
    I don’t think those on a journey away from their fleshy selves will ever respond well to the context of his message. Regardless of the trueth of the content. As some put it “the lower self”

    Peter:
    Just because you and Gio do not see eye to eye, does not mean everybody here feels that way.

    Elite goals (my perspective):
    The betterment of society. They blame the messes of history on the msses of idiots. But I don’t think they quite feel that way bout us.
    I think they more feel like that most of humanity are like children, and they the adults…the care takers.

    You wouldn’t allow a child to mess with dangerous equipment. That it is better to maintain the child’s innocence than scar them with the trueth of reality.
    That at times the child needs to be punished for their own good…”protected” for their own good. Cause in their innocence they just don’t know no better and should be spared the experiences of pain as much as possible.

    That is the most pleasant way I think a few view the world. I know another perspective is that every person does have a purpose…some are meant to be brains, while others feet, hands, heart, etc.
    They of course are the brains, while the rest are some sort of appendage, requiring them to maintain control for without them we would die/suffer horribly. Though with this view, at least they’d be willing to acknowledge that they the rest in order to survive.

    The Third and more prevailant view I think the elite posess is that we are each just mere tools. To be shaped and used…and eventually discarded with whatever whim that they currently fancy.

    They lose the individual through focusing on the herd.
    Though as much as I pride myself on being an individual, I know I am human…that there are things about us that are true regardless of race, age…or even personal beliefs.
    I also believe that the elite not only know, they’ve also developed various manipulations down to a science.

    I do not believe they fear us, but rather view the Liberty Movement and others like a dangerous animal(s). Rather like a school of Piranha…or a swarm of angry wasps.
    They understand that we can be a danger to them, but with proper “study” and care. They can smack us down like irritating mosquitos.

    Their method of control:
    Inducement of apathy & through distraction & seperation.

    I can not say how they are doing the apathy part. I’ve only recently within the last yr started learning bout the mechanics of human nature & motivations.
    But the distraction part I’ve been learning bout the last couple yrs.
    Just bout everything in our life is designed to keep our focus away from what is actually happening. Us chasing our careers, our mortgages, cars…movies & games, etc.
    We are seperated from our parents at an increasingly early age…not so much for education, but to weaken the bonds that family members naturally have for one another.
    We are meant to live in communities containing people at evry aspect of their ages. From newborn babies down to the elderly.

    We are seperated because we humans have a tendency to accept predicaments for ourselves that we wouldn’t accept for those around us. Keeping us seperated also has the affect of creating the illusion of what is now has always been.

    Now I do not believe it is all happening together in some master plan. But rather, different “elite” organizations in seeking out their individual objectives have been having this synergistic affect on those being controlled.
    Our government, for the most part has always been an Oligarchy. Though I do not believe that was the intent of the founding fathers.

    The overall problem I believe is not so much with the elites themselves. But with their world view.
    They are too isolated to be able to see the inconsistancies of what they believe. Worse still, in their isolation they can not have any empathy for the rest of humanity.

    Not only must we deal with the problems we have at hand, but we must develop solutions to prevent this ‘elite’ mentality from coming back in the future.

    The issues:
    -G & C (Globalization & Centralization)
    -Too much seperation from the powers that be from having to deal with the consequences.

    Their is a lot more that needs to be posted. I’ll post more later…now I’m just too tired.

    Apoligies if it rambles on a bit.

    I’m not sure which of more entertaining, the accusations toward the author or his responses.

    When I read some of the posts on here, I can see why there is so much chaos in the world. Every person, everywhere needs to watch this 30 minute video. If you are strongly rooted in sheoplism, it may yank you out of it. Take a look: http://neithercorp.us/sdsl

    Giordano is attempting to lead every part of the world he can to understanding. Other’s feeble attempts to inject catastrophe is simply comical to us who already understand. The people either lack understanding or are so transparently opposed to it worry me.

    All my life I have been a rejector of propaganda. That which I am asked to believe without proof and that does not make logical sense is rejected by my conscious and unconscious self. I have long said that for every little fact that I am exposed to causes my brain to run it through a CRC process.

    Because of this, Sons of Darkness, Sons of Light was the closest thing to being intoxicating to me. So many things explained so plainly. It may be an epiphany for you.

    Many are so incredibly buried in their sheoplistic views that they’ll never be pulled out until their world falls apart. So much of this type of behavior was revealed in the movie “The Matrix”. Though it was a SciFi action/thriller, it had many philosophical truths. Frankly, it somewhat shocked me that hollywood would produce such a thing.

    Others have a vested profit or power interest in promoting the sheople philosphy. Though they themselves are not sheople.

    Apparently, you have not been paying attention at all…

    I’m not asking people to subscribe to my “beliefs”, I’m asking people to consider the FACTS on Globalism and the NWO. If you want to know what facts I’m speaking of, then you are welcome to read the many articles I’ve written here on the subject, which are supported by the globalist’s own words and documentation.

    Once you have been exposed to these facts, the “solution” to the problem is for you to decide. Mine is to inform others, build community, and help them prepare for any eventuality. If you can come up with a better solution, I’m all ears…

  103. 103 LAStevens said at 2:36 pm on May 13th, 2010:

    FACTS are a given at this point. Sheep will always be sheep and they will follow the leader. The problem, as I see it, is lack of a comprehensive plan to throw the bums out and have a better world.

    So far, to my view, the best idea floating around is “withdrawing from the system”…not paying mortgages, taxes, walmart etc, yet too this is vague, undefined and uncoordinated.

    Loved the article.

    I highly recommend reading “Web of Debt” by Ellen Brown (www.webofdebt.com)! Understanding money will lead you to find out that Keynesian economics is not wrong — Austrian economics is. One must understand what “money” really is and that the creation of money belongs with we the people, not private banks, etc. Also, reading “Web of Debt” will inform you that our number one problem is that we have allowed private bankers to issue our money. With this undeserved and unconstitutional authority to create money, private bankers accumulate huge wealth to own/control our media, elected officials, and influence US and world events for their own private benefit. Our monetary system is the root of all our problems and we CAN fix it. We just need to recognize the problem and be educated enough to understand the solution — which is for “we the people” to take back our monetary system.

    These people don’t really know much but they’re experts on everything as long as you’re the one being challenged and not them. Then they like to label all inconsistencies with their ideology to you being a sheeple. “Um, 1 + 1 does not equal two, you’re a sheeple.”

    They think America is actually something more noble than a former (?) aristocratic, democratic-Feudalist slave state. They’re suffer from acute Dunning-Kruger effects and show an almost autistic lack of embarrassment when espousing easily-debunkable falsehoods about anarchism. Uhm… like.. anarchism is a socialist philosophy as HIERARCHY (notice the ‘archy’) is inherent in all capitalism. Hur hur!

    They abstain from reading anything even remotely related to left-wing philosophy (which is to say most philosophy) but yet they know everything about it. In other words, they’re pretty much philosophically illiterate and their warped worldview amounts from what they absorb from only sloppy websites and short YouTube videos with bad editing and laden with misspellings.

    DystopiaResident:

    Thanks for illustrating the sheeple mentality in rather comically ironic fashion.

    Your post has a very defensive and immature tone. How old are you, 12? Is it possible you found yourself described in the above article and this disturbed you? A sheeple’s first response to being exposed is usually to attempt to throw the term back at the person calling them out. You’re following the article to a T and don’t even realize it.

    “Add one to the list; High School Dropout Paleocon Truthers.
    These people don’t really know much but they’re experts on everything as long as you’re the one being challenged and not them.”

    Really? I welcome a challenge on the 9/11 issue. Which positions does the 9/11 truth movement hold that you are opposed to? Give specifics, not just childish generalizations.

    “They think America is actually something more noble than a former (?) aristocratic, democratic-Feudalist slave state.”

    We’re not supporting what America is, we’re supporting what it COULD BE if its original ideals of Constitutionalism and independence are actually upheld, which they have not been.

    “Uhm… like.. anarchism is a socialist philosophy as HIERARCHY (notice the ‘archy’) is inherent in all capitalism.”

    Anarchism is the ABSENCE of hierarchy and government control, not the promotion of increased hierarchy and government control , which is what Socialism always leads to. If you can name me any socialist state that exhibits Anarchist-like qualities, I would love to hear about it. Your response reveals how ignorant you are when it comes to the details of your own belief system. This is a typical sheeple character flaw.

    “Hur hur!”

    LOL! What?

    “They abstain from reading anything even remotely related to left-wing philosophy (which is to say most philosophy) but yet they know everything about it.”

    What do you consider “left wing” philosophy? Marx, maybe? Lenin? Spinoza? All men whose ideas are espoused by the corporate elite. Lenin was even funded by them! You see, if you actually had done any legitimate research into history, you would know there is no such thing as “Leftist Philosophy”.

    “In other words, they’re pretty much philosophically illiterate and their warped worldview amounts from what they absorb from only sloppy websites and short YouTube videos with bad editing and laden with misspellings.”

    This is a straw man argument. Who does this specifically? What videos and websites? Do you make these kinds of generalizations as a rule, or only when you are trying to avoid direct confrontation over individual issues? What beliefs do we have that are warped? I go into certain behaviors of sheeple in this article, but at least I have the decency to describe those behaviors in detail and lay out exactly why they are a problem. You’re doing the opposite; blindly swinging your accusations around in knee-jerk fashion like a whining toddler.

    “But anyway, enough of that… Learn something, for fuck’s sake! NEWFLASH! You’re a sheeple! HA!
    Don’t just click away, cocksucker. Read the fucking book. I’m serious. Do it. Or do you not read? Oh, you’re not a reader? Makes perfect sense, sheeple.”

    Brilliant conclusion. I am truly astounded by your powers of debate. Though in that entire mindless diatribe you barely scratched the surface of what YOU actually believe. Cowards usually like to criticize without clearly defining their own position so that the person they are attacking finds it difficult to attack back. Note in my article I precisely establish MY position before critiquing those who exhibit sheep-like behavior. Why is it you refuse to do the same?

    Bobby Dylan once said, “there’s no one to beat you, no one to defeat you, except the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.” Think on this. If you feel all is lost, then indeed, you have settled for that reality.

They got seriously worried in the New Age 70′s when control seemed to be ebbing away, but were just getting it back when it looked like the Muslim Faith would create a very serious threat to their NWO, so they recruited them, armed them and promised them Muslim States, but when they found their New Muslim Friends now constituted an even bigger threat, they branded them as terrorists, which allowed the NWO to bring in new “Anti Terrorist Measures” to protect us all, and we all know where that has lead us. I hope you do not mind, i shall add your article to give extra weight to our existing Articles in our Controversional Issues on our realalternativesite.com I hope we can work together to bring more of us together, and hopefully sow a little doubt and ask people to look at the real picture, and question events, and see how we are being orchistrated through the media.

    Sheeple is not the major obstacle. They will go along with the herd more or less. The problem is the conspiracy notion in general. I recently read the best definition of the difference between a real and an unreal conspiracy. In conspiracy’s that have been proven to exist (e.g. Watergate), all of the evidence and facts converge on a single truth. In a fake one, they all diverge.

    Observing trends with world governments is one thing. Proving that they are purposely driven by a single organized group of individuals who are selfish enough (and possibly evil?) to have any goals other then simply wanting to help people, is why people believing in such things are brushed off quicker then most.

    Personally I usually brush off anyone who shares in the conspiracy theory that the gov’t organized 9/11. Anyone who could think that our gov’t could organize something like this and not F it up somewhere is really in fantasy land. Every component of this 9/11 theory is simply baseless. There was nothing extraordinary about the collapse of the buildings… nothing at all.

    Now does this mean that I believe we don’t ALWAYS need people who are willing to share a dissenting opinion to exist? Hell no. We will always need everyone to keep their eye out. And while I don’t believe in TV-type, X-File-like grandiose conspiracy theories, I do believe in a gov’t that can grow too large and lose control of what they ever were or were created for. And get this point, because I think it is important: And the effort required to stop a machine that large and out of control might be no less then that if it WAS in fact a single group of evil Dr. No’s.

    Douglas,

    You feign sympathy for the cause and then say that any “complex” conspiracy that has multiple aspects to it is clearly a fake one, despite all the evidence to the contrary and that in order for a “conspiracy theory” to be real, it has to be ridiculously simple in nature. That is beyond naive. We live in a complex world and the evidence is plentiful.

    Then you mention 9/11 and state that the government couldn’t organize it and you top it off with “Every component of the 9/11 theory is simply baseless.”

    Please do some serious research on these topics.

    I’m sure you will find more than one taker willing to openly debate you on any of the “facts” you think you know about “9/11 theory”. I’m pretty sure you will get ripped to shreds.

    Some valid points, but far too self-congratulatory. Anyone who feels that they have it all figured out, and that no one else has any valid position, generally is looking to establish some form of authority in terms of assessing the world. I mistrust such people, especially those who call themselves “anarchists,” yet who seem to be promoting their own single-minded vision. There are many pieces to the puzzle, who are you to claim such a final position?

  122. 122 giordano said at 7:38 pm on August 12th, 2010:

    Noman,

    You don’t seem to understand the underlying message of the article.

    First, at no point did I claim to “have it all figured out”, and at no point did I infer that no one else has a valid position. I also never said I was an Anarchist. I find it interesting that you artificially inject that particular interpretation into the article.

    This article is based on observations of behaviors that I and many others see so commonly as to lead me to believe they are not mere coincidence. If someone has a different view of these observations, then I welcome them to present it. They had just better be ready to back up their view.

    My conscience determines my position. I find that many people have been trained like puppies to view “discrimination” of any kind as a terrible thing. I find that discrimination of imbalanced and destructive behaviors as determined by inherent conscience is not only valuable, but necessary to the survival of our species.

    If you can read this article and honestly say you do not see the behaviors I describe on a daily basis, or that you see these behaviors and they do not distress you, then all I can say is, you must be incredibly lucky, or incredibly gullible.

  123. 123 Andre said at 10:25 am on August 18th, 2010:

    I’m sorry guys, but I have to jump in here and put in my two cents worth, for whatever it is worth. What I see here is a lot of bickering and that’s one of the tactics that the elite uses. Divide and conquer. Keep us fighting amongst ourselves.
    I think Mr. Bruno wrote an excellent article about sheeple and it obviously hit a nerve with some people.
    The one thing that most of us forget, and which websites like “subverted nation”, hammer home again and again is that there are MANY MORE of us than them. Many more. Our fatal flaw of the moment is that we are all still mostly didvided and not organized and not of one mind. Education as to who is our real enemy, is paramount in being able to conquer THEM. Even though they might have the better weapons I believe Mr. Bruno is correct when he says that they are feeble, old cowards. Or else they would have pushed their agenda through by now. They are good at using others to do their dirty work for them but mostly don’t do the grunt work themselves. They are not stupid but they are sociopathic, psychopathic, demonic cowards who seek to control all of mankind. They are sick or mentally ill as a people. I think part of the problem is that at one time they may actually have been victims and now have become bullies. But still use their “victimhood” status to hoodwink most of us into feeling sorry for them. We can’t allow any feelings of compassion for them. No matter how much of their perverted ideology or propaganda they seek to push down our throat.
    To conquer your enemy you have to know and truly recognize your enemy for who and what they are. The so-called “ruling elite” are basically of one demographic and if people call me a racist that is fine but you need to educate yourself as to who the real enemy actually is and not be distracted by the dog and pony show they constantly barrage us with.
    I also think it’s very foolish to publically lay out your war plans where the enemy can see them and mount a defense against them. Our plans against them have to be formulated in a different manner and disseminated in such a way that the enemy doesn’t get wind of it before they can be implemented. At this point I don’t know what the ideal solution would be but believe that when the time does come for affirmitive action the people will rally together against our common foe and the battle plan will unfold as it should, at the time it should. The right people to lead us will arise at the right time.
    Right now education is paramount. And we all need to become of one mind if we want to have any chance of success against an enemy that has been feverishly working against mankind for such a long time. They haven’t learned from history and are lost in their own grand self delusion. ANY POWER OR EMPIRE THAT HAS EVER DESIRED TO RULE THE WORLD BY FORCE HAS FAILED. And so will they fail. They may rule at the moment but they are doomed to crash.
    I think the most prudent things that all of us can do at the moment is get ready for a protracted seige. Lay in some basic supplies. Arm ourselves. Network with your neighbours. Point them to websites like this. Make no mistake about it people. We are in a real war. We are in a fight for a our very survival. NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER! NO PRISONERS! This is not some fairy tale. This is the real shit! They want to get rid of the majority of us by whatever means possible. They don’t want to play nice, so we don’t play nice.
    One of the most positive things you can do to start fighting them is to turn off one of the most effective propaganda tools ever devised by man and that is your television. TURN IT OFF! UNPLUG IT! THROW IT OUT! Stay away from digital TV. Much too easy to embed subliminal signals in the digital stream. START TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING! Read. Read. Read. Educate yourself as to the real world. Not the fantasy that’s been spoon-fed to us over the years. Visit sites like this. Like “subverted nation”. Like “overlords of choas”. Educate yourself. Deprogram yourself. WAKE UP NOW!
    There are some important books that you can read to start your journey of self awareness. Some of the more important ones are “The Babylonian Woe” and “Basic Training for Revolutionaries” found on “subverted nation”. There’s also Quigley’s, “Tragedy and Hope”. And many more. You WILL find them as needed at the right time. Some of you won’t be able to handle the truth and will remain in denial because reading these types of things is quite a shock to some people’s systems and world view. But if you’re determined and persist you will all finally free yourselves from the conditioning that’s been imposed on us against our wills over our lifetime. It does take some effort but eventually you will all come to recognize the truth. And as a famous person once said, “The truth will set you free”. It may mess you up for a while as all your cherished beliefs come crashing to the floor but eventually you WILL see the world for what it really is and who is actually running things and what horrors they are committing, and have committed, against mankind over the years. FOR A VERY LONG TIME. Their plan has been unfolding for many, many years. Have the courage to know the truth and it WILL see you through. I sincerely hope that this has at least helped a little to steer you in the right direction. God bless all of you.

  125. 125 Denny said at 9:49 am on August 20th, 2010:

    WOW!!!! Excellent article…….wish I had of found it sooner. I became “aware” over six years ago while doing some research on 9/11. When I first came across the conspiricy theroy sites, I thought they were nuts. I had believed the governments and MSM’s version hook line and sinker. But I kept searching and researching, and slowly it became evident that we were ALL lied to on a grand scale. So, I cleared my thoughts of 9/11 and jumped into my research with an empty mind (forgetting everything we were told and shown) and a new set of eyes. I now knew it was a total false flag op right out of our very own government’s 1962 playbook “Operation Northwoods.” But the net, like everything else is full of facts, half truths, disinfo and outright lies…..so the struggle becomes sifting through the information and seperating fact from everything else. For instance, the “9/11 Truth” people seemed to be on the right track until you dig even deeper to discover they are part of the problem, not the solution. Dr Steven E Jones is far beyond dishonest and keeps up the distraction with his “super thermite” theories. Funny thing about Mr Jones, is he won’t do the science to back up his claims. But then again he can’t, because it is not scientifically possible to turn a 500,000 ton skyscraper into talcum powder in under 10 seconds. See how far I had come? From a sheep six years ago to a semi-expert on the twin towers demise. And I didn’t stop there, and to this day, I am still researching 9/11 and have written an essay on it entitled “Operation Hiroshima – Code Name 911.” I not only believe I know who did it, but how and why. And my 9/11 research led me to research the elite, Illuminati, Club Of Rome, Committee Of 300, Freemasons etc. I have alienated a few friends and family trying to wake them from their Oprah induced comas but I will never stop trying. Again, this article is right on the money and couldn’t have been written any better and accurate.
    Thank you for your work!

    Gio, I also wish to congratulate you on an excellent post and website. This post has surely generated a pile of responses! I have my 2 cents’ worth to add below (after reading comments 1 through 124).

    The sparring between Peter and Gio made clear to me that there are (obviously) many big problems when we first come to this worldview and seek to immediately “do something”. Our minds are naturally uncomfortable with the anxiety this new knowledge brings and our animal survival instincts insist immediately that we act to remove the perceived threat. Those survival instincts, however, are ill-suited to the present situation and I think that unless the moment (for action or defense) arrives too soon and we are forced to act, the best things we can do are:
    1. inform others in whatever way we find to get through; and
    2. expand our understanding as wide as possible
    I don’t think the “solution” is yet visible. I see websites like this as part of the societal dialog out of which may emerge a response to the tyranny of elite-imposed order. There are many dimensions to the current situation, all are relevant.

    I have been aware of these things also for several years now and have found benefit from a small amount of study in political economy. Of course academia largely buys into elite worldviews and is controlled by them through funding, tenure, etc., but not all academics are cheerleaders for the Chicago School of Economics. Radical political economy contains much that is of worth if you’re willing to wade through long sentences and the occasional big word or new concept.

    I have found the work of the following people invaluable in understanding current events from a knowledge base that includes more than simply the standard “conspiracy library list”:
     “Theory Talks” website – highly recommended (www.theory-talks.org)
     Kees van der Pijl: “Transnational classes and International relations” is a great start; also see his survey of global political economy here: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/ir/research/gpe/gpesurvey/ and read the interview at theory-talks here: http://www.theory-talks.org/2008/11/theory-talk-23.html
     Stephen Gill, Robert W. Cox and Mark Rupert are all critical scholars of neoliberal globalisation
     David Harvey (for example: http://www.theory-talks.org/2008/10/theory-talk-20-david-harvey.html) is very well worth reading and I particularly recommend – e.g. for those wondering, like Peter, what seeds can be planted in the global culture to point the way to something that transcends the Us vs Them, Left vs Right gridlock (http://www.megacities.nl/lecture_4/possible.pdf )
     Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler have written an incredible (and entertaining) book summarising their views: “Capital as Power – a study of order and creorder”. I can’t recommend this enough. It is definitely relevant to the socialism vs capitalism debate and the muddy discussion between Gio and Peter around VALUE. Focusing only on the structure of fiat currency, the global banking structure etc is not enough. We need to see the whole thing as a system held together by elite power. Just because you want to end the Fed doesn’t mean you have grasped the monstrosity that is the modern world just yet. Here is a summary of their thought for a taste: http://bnarchives.yorku.ca/285/

    Other work, but less focused on the political economy acacdemic scholarship circuit:
     David Korten (author of “When corporations rule the world”) has written something that all Liberty Movement people should read: “The Great Turning – from Empire to Earth Community”. It particularly helps with understanding how to communicate to sheeple, as he dissects the mythological basis of the elite worldviews and contrasts it with a possible cooperative future. The “security stories” and “creation stories” that each worldview embodies are part of why we find it difficult to transcend viewpoints and convince those that don’t want to be convinced.
     Ken Wilber (e.g. :Integral Psychology”) has done a great work in showing how various worldviews have roots in different developmental stages – stages which an individual traverses as well as a society. For understanding the perennially boring “liberal” vs “conservative” nonsense that emanates from the USA, this, along with David Korten’s writings, is critical knowledge. Each person, as well as each society/movement/nation has a sort of psychological structure that affects how they see reality and these structures show development through time – both in history as well as during the individual’s lifetime.

    Other useful websites if people haven’t heard of them before:

    It seems that there would be value in assembling a “standard unsheeple reading list” where people could suggest books which could then be reviewed for insights and relevance. Maybe a project for this excellent website?

    with respect,

    I enjoyed reading the primer for sheeples. The powers even make no secret out of it. calling you a sheeple, see this commercial from the failed RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland)

    I always enjoy your articles. This one is so true. Thanks

    Thanks for an entertaining article. For those genuinely insistent that we need to ‘change things’ I say beware of mangled information. Be very sure who you’re arresting and why ;-)

    These will help enormously, IMO:-

    W.G.Carr “Pawns in the Game”

    Eustace Mullins “Secrets of the Federal Reserve”

    Fritz Springmeier “13 Bloodlines”
    http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/index.htm
    and “Monarch”

    If you can disregard their politics and their agendas and, in one case at least, ‘alleged’ felonies, armed with this combined knowledge mankind can overcome the underlying evil on Earth, heal itself and get back onto a less material path.

    This will be of the greatest relief to presently terrified children everywhere…

    Nice article. Though it provides definitions and possible ways of reprogramming sheeple I’ve two questions.

    How many sheeple need to be freed from their current mindsets in order to evoke a complete change from very real threat of repressive and engineered Globalism?

    Over what period of time are hoping for this conversion to occur?

    Good site, Giordano…

    Some of the groups are stereotyped, however, and no one I know quite fits any of the groups you mention for “sheeple.”

    I think you have basically three groups: psychopaths, truth-seekers, and everybody else. Unfortunately, “everybody else” makes up about 95% of the US, and everywhere else.

    Psychopaths wouldn’t know what the truth was if it hit ‘em on the head, because they “create their own reality” (didn’t one of the neo-con warmongers tell this to reporter Ron Suskind, “We are an empire now and we create our own reality…”)

    Everybody else wouldn’t know the truth because they don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear…gee, Who used that phrase a bunch?

    Regardless of your religion (and atheism IS a religion!), you MUST actively seek the truth in all things!

    Great article…

    I can see Jeff Foxworthy will have to update his routine…

    If you think nobody died when Clinton lied…You might be a sheeple….

    If you think Obama is really “withdrawing” even as he sends more blackwater contractors to Iraq…You might be a sheeple….

    If you think its cool that Bush Senior and Clinton are good golf buddies, but believe they hated each other’s guts in 1992… you might be a sheeple….

    This is a great article. I think this issue gets swept under the rug to often because of the difficulty to engage people. I dont care how well versed you are in NWO research fact, the most stubborn of folks trying to be reached can literally drive one to contemplate suicide.

    Once you see the forest for the trees, you see the interconnections between friggin everything! Its impossible to ignore. I have tried just turning off to the whole thing and joining my drunken oblivious “friends” for the diversion of the week. But it never lasts and I have to see what has slipped since I last turned off. I see the inevitable slide into the abyss and try to talk to my “buddies” about it only to watch them squirm like a child that has been out shopping with mommy to long. Then they interrupt you to bring up something “really important like the latest off the wall fluff news article or whatever.

    Needless to say, im losing it because of these fucking morons and I dont know how much longer I can hold out. I fucking hate this world and everyone in it. I really am losing hope and compassion. They are winning and Im pissed about it. I lost my girlfriend who I had hoped to marry and lost jobs, friends, alienated family, all that shit. So, what the fuck!!

    Phew! Had to get that off my chest. Im ok now. I think.
    Anyway great article.
    ;)

    2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
