Smarter Tools of Tyranny

There are no easy paths to restore power to the people.
But here are three strategies worth considering.

Perhaps a global political apocalypse has already arrived.

Activists and dissidents should understand that evil forces and tyrannical governments have evolved. Just as human knowledge and science expand, so do the strategies and instruments used by rulers, elites and plutocrats. By learning from history and using new technology they have smarter tools of tyranny.

The best ones prevent uprisings, revolutions and political reforms. Rather than violently destroy rebellious movements, they let them survive as marginalized and ineffective efforts that divert and sap the energy of nonconformist and rebellious thinkers. Real revolution remains an energy-draining dream, as evil forces thrive.

Most corrupt and legally sanctioned forms of tyranny hide in plain sight as democracies with free elections. The toughest lesson is that ALL elections are distractions. Nothing conceals tyranny better than elections. Few Americans accept that their government has become a two-party plutocracy run by a rich and powerful ruling class.

The PT Barnum approach, a sucker is born every minute. Divert his attention with meaningless
trivia and sleight of hand so he won't see the real damage being done. TPTB have become Jedi
like masters in misdirecting the pitifully short attention span the average person has. The few left
who cannot be distracted or bought off are marginalized, are incarcerated under one of the thousands
of vague laws that exist just for that reason, or are murdered outright.

The world banking cartel and the people who own them are replacing country's leaders with appointees and/or politicians who will only answer to them. Things are about to get much worse all over the world. When will the time come to, "Storm the Bastille" ? TT

No matter how many times this message is conveyed here on TOL, and on numerous other forums, the conversation will always revert back to discussions about this candidate did this, and that candidate said that, polls, primaries, polls, conventions, more polls, yadda-yadda-yadda. Stupidity is not just for the intellectually challenged any more, in fact, it has become quite in vogue.

In truth, the vast majority of people are in denial about the rotten system they are trapped in (aka The Matrix). They are manipulated to keep hope alive through voting, despite the inability of past elections to stop the slide into economic serfdom.

...because they are more a tool of tyranny than rebellion, the masses should stop giving credibility and legitimacy to faux democracies by boycotting elections. Plutocrats cleverly equate patriotism and good citizenship with voting while at the same time ensuring that no genuine change agents can succeed even if elected.

Quote:

All election results can be subverted by the forces of corruption. Those promising change, like Barack Obama, do not pose a lethal threat to forces of evil and corruption.

The compulsion to vote is a political narcotic that sustains democratic tyranny.

"You don't want to get shot.
You don't want your shops and houses burned.
You don't want your women touched.
You don't want anything to happen.
But you're afraid to do anythng about it."
Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter

Art imitating life. Some aspects of human nature never change, only the environment in which they're surrounded.

yep,
i'd hate to say this but every time we allow our fellow citizens to be abused,shot,tazed,groped,evicted,or incarcerated unjustly we dig ourselves deeper into a hole .
wheather it is submission or cowardice,it has nothing to do with liberty,these are the traits of slavery---fearing retribution we will watch the righteous perish to save our worthless skin.
human nature is not pretty,sometimes i wonder why Jesus even bothered to offer us redemption.
heroism on the other hand is not common,i belive it is the fruit of love,faith and commitment to our fellow man---rare indeed
