"As the Matrix in the movie was used to facilitate the exploitation of humans," writes author Henry H. Lindner, "so the current ideological Matrix was created for, and serves to exploit us, turning us into unthinking workers and consumers--slaves of the ruling elite who themselves are trapped in the Matrix." In fact, "few of us are able to escape the Matrix. We do not even know it exists."
For there to be any hope of real change, you'll have to change how you think about yourself, your fellow human beings, freedom, society, and the government. This means freeing your mind, realizing the truth, and unlearning all the myths you have been indoctrinated with since the day you were able to comprehend language.
The following principles, taken from my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, may help any budding freedom fighters in the struggle to liberate themselves and our society.
First, the government's primary purpose is maintaining power and control. It's an oligarchy composed of corporate giants wedded to government officials and motivated by greed, whose purpose is to perpetuate itself.
Second, voting is practically worthless. As Jordan Michael Smith, writing for the Boston Globe, concludes about the American government, "There's the one we elect, and then there's the one behind it, steering huge swaths of policy almost unchecked. Elected officials end up serving as mere cover for the real decisions made by the bureaucracy." Voting is a way to keep the citizenry pacified. It provides the illusion of participation.
Third, question everything. Don't assume anything government does is for the good of the citizenry.
Fourth, materialism is a death knell to freedom. While it may be true that Americans are better off than citizens of other nations--we have jobs, food, entertainment, shopping malls, etc.--these are the trappings meant to anesthetize and distract us.
Fifth, there is little hope for any true resistance if you are mindlessly connected to the electronic concentration camp. Remember, what you're being electronically fed by those in power is meant to pacify, distract, and control you. You can avoid mind manipulations to a large degree by greatly limiting your reliance on electronic devices--cell phones, laptops, televisions, and so on.
