Those with the power to have people accused of things no matter their innocence, no matter sometimes the amount or veracity of evidence, these are the groups beginning to assert control all over the world, especially in the US and Russia. Mostly they are influenced by intelligence and/or criminal organizations. Where evidence is unchallengeable or the police powerless to look into how it got there, where the accusation or pretrial incarceration alone will destroy a person's life, those with the power to have someone charged with something effectively can blackmail almost anyone and not only have them by the balls, but increasingly the whole of society as well.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Torture - nothing going to happen that you would like or wish to be a part of, events wholly external to yourself and (your) wishes. You (then) live solely at the whim and desire of others, taking your will to live and everything with it (that follows from it) from you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The potential for feelings and desire for retribution or vengeance is within everyone, even the most enlightened or meek. It can be kept under control and restrained by other feelings, but still the potential is always there. It need not be negative though. It can be to invent or create an environment where past misdeeds are far less likely or impossible to occur. That can also be seen as a way to get even or even the score as much as harming or punishing others can be. One is to create suffering, to cause it in the name of "justice" for some, the other is to prevent it from occurring or lessen its potential. When an individual seems prone to such behavior, we think just getting rid of that individual can prevent or reduce misdeeds. When it is institutional with their job description or societal, it is a lot more challenging on how to go about lessening such misdeeds from occurring. Not impossible, yet needs an impetus such as positively channeled retribution to keep one from sliding into the much easier course of defeatism, acceptance, and apathy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those running the world now see people as cattle, horses, beasts of burden, something like Man sees all other species, made by God to service our needs and purposes. What goes around comes around to bite us all in the ass, ideologically speaking. Only breaking that mentality will make other people be treated like equals again. No kings, no saints, no pedestals, just people equally needing to be fed, to be cared for, and always above all other things, to be shown, given, and entitled to equal respect in their lives, their dreams, their goals, and covet each individual's approval and respect as you would from any God or gods.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We, all who exist, whoever existed before, whoever will come later, were all born slaves, even its rulers, to whatever system existed which lead to our creations, however just or unjust, and are raised to propagate and continue that system. Few ever have the power to even affect it substantially, never mind to remake it into anything better. Yet that is the dream we have, the big lie we are told in all movies, government propaganda, education programs, that the machine (of society) responds to us, that it cares what we think, and we can make a difference. No machine or system really provides that (ability to change itself) for long. All are dependent upon selling the illusion that it changes when it never really does. The truth of the matter is the most power usually lies with the most barbaric peoples and policies, hidden behind the most elaborate smokescreen which can be afforded, invented, or devised at the time, to make everyone cheer their lack of ability to influence it (if they find it does not really ever change) and that perfection (in the type of government and economic system) has arrived and complacency to just accept it is finally warranted, no matter how many other billions are suffering just outside your sight. The machine cares about them, it always claims, yet it admits it cannot truly help them, ever. They are a necessity to be helped forever ineffectively. (Most development aid is aimed at making the richest in a poor areas richer, controlling their peoples better, then to send in our companies to collect what the local bosses reap from their "human" harvest, not to aid those who are the most poor there to instead not to have to work for them, ever, (where would be our profit incentive in that?) for usually it is the most barbaric people who rise to the top in the horrible conditions to be found there in the chaos, and have become rich off of it. They are who we will aid, and they wll reward us back with a cut of their profits from their "harvests" which we will give them the means to let them reap them. Without limiting population growth, it not only will always devolve to this, it will only find new ways of getting far more barbaric than anyone living now can imagine.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The subversion, marginalization, and (increasing) impotence of elected legislatures. The "business first" models of America, Russia, and China. How to make your people do what you want against their own wishes. Can be as simple as blackmail or as complex as MKULTRA style brainwashing. But since that is most valuable (knowledge or ability) , it cannot be wiped out or forgotten and is traded (between countries and even more powerful organizations than ANY country) as the most valuable of currencies.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One's strength should not be judged by the power of ones (self or) allies, but of ones potential enemies. They forge you to be stronger, sometimes at the expense of being (becoming something) better. That is too high a price for any with integrity to pay. Integrity is almost a forgotten concept to those who revel and are prideful of their strength. Those who see the survival of anything as paramount, they forget it is most always at the expense of being willing to change into something even better. That is the blindness which accompanies power and the ability to control what would otherwise encourage you to evolve into something better and more just, and hold onto an increasingly unmanageable present sinking ever lower to hold it together. That is the eternal dilemma which the world must soon look squarely in the eye and face up to. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Advancing on a collision course with possibly the most powerful and corrupt government ever, with what its Senators called the President's nearly unlimited means at his disposal to manufacture reality as he sees fit, hold any US citizen "protected" by the Constitution or any foreigner in prison without trial or even charges indefinitely for life on his say so alone, able to intimidate any press to recant any story no matter how factual (true) under guise of "national security" (Newsweek) and against this unrestrained mass-production machine of limitless lies capable of being tailored instantly to fit any case of anything I might say, all I have to cling to is truth even I can be made to recant, and even be made to cease to believe, with the sole assurance that once spoken and recorded, if humanity survives, someone someday must eventually be able to verify that it was true.
