The World Economic Forum, whose members are the richest and by that also the most powerful.
The World oligarchy, unelected, not not chosen by a vote,
but as the openly say their goals are to control the processes in the world.
A major problem is that even when 'the people' are allowed to vote (even when the candidates aren't restricted to people we shouldn't intelligently vote for) they are already 'brain-washed' such that they believe ideas pushed into their minds (such that utter rubbish falsehoods become 'truth' in the minds of the masses) and thus continue to vote for those people who have taken power and continue (therefore) to hold onto it. If only people would 'wake up' from their hypnotic state of trust and belief in fake ideologies and put these criminal politicians and similar straight into jail and strip them of their ridiculous wealth, but alas we can't because we are indeed successfully hypnotized.
That is exactly what a Roman poet Juvenal was complaining about.
This is the effect of brad and circuses on masses of people.
Bread and circuses. A few thousand years of manipulation of a big number of people.
It didn't really change in the last few thousand years.
The essence remained the same:
Take care of the basic instincts of a big number of people
and you will have mostly undisturbed rule of the same people you are ruling.
Pretty simple trick that still works on a sleeping masses of people,
globally unconscious of the world and events that are happening around them.
What can you do to prevent the effects of this simple trick on your mind?
Figure out what is bread and what are circuses.
Not many people understand the meaning of "bread and circuses",
and don't realize they live their lives directed by this principle of your rulers.
Prepare for a travel, we will have to go back to the beginning of the second century to the ancient Rome.
The expression "bread and circuses" (bread and games) is attributed to the Roman poet Juvenal.
In his collection of the satirical poems the expression "panem et circenses" has first appeared.
Juvenal has complained in his song about the apathy of the citizens of Rome who
who have lost all interest in politics and matters of public affairs,
and handed over all power to the emperors, the army and the emperor's bureaucracy.
The people who replaced all long-term issues with short-term and mindless pleasures.
It didn't take long for the rulers of Rome to figure out that if they want a quick affection of the people
they have to satisfy the needs of that big mass of people.
So what did they do? They they began to distribute grain for free.
The basic food ingredient which later turned to literally distributing bread for free.
Rulers also took care of the entertainment of the people, the circus,
opening the doors of their amphitheaters free of charge.
There people could have entertainment with gladiatorial fights but also other activities.
By the way, such arenas were usually not free of charge
and only the wealthier could pay for tickets to such events.
Let's compare this with the modern times.
Imagine that a government gives away 50.000 free tickets for a football game,
at World or European championship.
And also pays for a free lunch for every football match.
Imagine such games are played every day.
Very quickly that country and it's governments would become
more and more interesting for more and more people.
Roman Empires knew very well what they were doing,
because without the affections of the people they couldn't rule.
The people had to be fed up and the people had to be entertained.
Because people without the bread and games, that is circus alone, becomes a dangerous mob.
That system has worked very well 1800 years ago and it functions very well even today.
Now some of you are thinking:
"Wait a minute! The government for sure isn't giving us free tickets for the games and it sure isn't paying every day for our lunches."
That's right. However you got much better and modern things.
Bread and games are adapted for the times we are living in today.
Those two things have evolved so much in the last couple of thousand years
that they became independent self-sufficient entities in which affairs the state and the government do not even have to interfere.
The Roman Empire was governed by the principle of bread and games, but also by a carrot and a stick, that is repression,
which worked very well for multiple centuries on number of people in those times.
This continued for centuries with many different rulers.
In the 20th century there was an explosion in population numbers.
In the last 100 years the world population has grown for 6 billion people.
And soon there will be 8 billion.
How to control the mass of 8 billion people?
Very simple. Through the modern version of bread and circuses.
A nation without the bread and games becomes an irrational mob
of the lowest passions comparable to a pack or a heard of wild animals.
In the modern world, bread from the Roman Empire has become your job.
A job that brings you your bread. No work, no bread.
It's in your interest to have that job, it's in the interest of a state that you have a job.
The bigger the unemployment rate , the bigger mass of people is left without one of two key ingredients.
The more of those people - the greater the danger for the government itself.
How many of you have a job that you like and receive a good salary for that same job?
How many of you have a job that you hate, and underpaid for that same job?
The great majority of today's population is underpaid for it's work.
Do you receive a minimum for own needs like food or just enough to cover living costs?
Or a little more that this?
Just enough so that you are satisfied and just as much so that your dissatisfaction does not become problematic.
With that ingredient that is keeping you occupied for at least 8 hours a day, 6 days a week,
another ingredient appears that is equally important that, like an anesthetic dulls your senses
to make you forget how miserable and dissatisfied you really are over your jobs and lives.
That second ingredient was originally named a circus, the game itself.
Once gladiatorial fights and today also gladiatorial fights
but in line with the times and your large numbers in the last hundred years.
You got your circus today in the form of sports competitions,
the vast majority of which no longer has to do with sports but with money and entertainment.
The governments don't even have to interfere with that circus.
That circus is in special systems and has completely taken over the lives of most people.
That circus is your television, that circus are your media that shows up on you TV's,
portals that have turned into infotainment for click more,
where you will learn where, who, why and how loud someone farted.
But in such places you will learn nothing that will improve the quality of your life.
That circus have become social networks where you can scroll relentlessly for hours over Facebook walls,
and places where you, hour after hour, watch picture after picture and video after video.
That circus has evolved so much, in comparison to the Roman Empire, that it began
independently producing entirely new generations of hypnotized zombies from the earliest childhood.
Romans are amateurs for the modern systems, they would at least temporarily activate their systems
if they wanted a fast political rise because you couldn't really have gladiatorial fights all the time.
They would simply run out of gladiators and grain too if they would have shared it without a limit and for free.
Today's system is a beast that works tirelessly and relentlessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year,
and has affected a large number of the inhabitants of this planet.
The reason why such a simple idea and system is so successful is in fact very simple.
People love their drugs in the same way as drug addicts.
These drugs of yours are called hormones of happiness.
Serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin, you are addicted to these hormones.
Every time you satisfy your addictive need, your brain secretes these hormones that make you feel satisfied.
We are not talking about the happiness you feel when you hug your loved one.
We are talking about activities such as watching television, relentlessly watching your mobile screen,
watching any other useless activity on which you have become addicted.
That feeling you can't wait to come home after work and then lie down on the couch
and turn on the TV and let your brain out to graze (let your mind wander).
When you do that and when you turn on the television and lie down on the couch, your brain releases hormones like this.
Hormones you are literally addicted to.
And that's why this trick is working for thousands of years.
Because when you're a dealer who controls the drug supply chain, it's easy to control your customers this way.
Because to be a drug addict you don't have to be a street bum like most people imagine drug addicts.
We are all drug addicts in one way or another.
But the big question is whether you will be like a large mass of people who hypnotized and obediently collect their hormones of happiness
without realizing how much they are manipulated or whether you will get your hormones in a different way.
If you think that there is nothing wrong with this way of life, following the rules of bread and games
because you feel very good or because you feel fantastic, that feeling is not necessarily good for you.
A heroin addict also feels very, very good. But is it that feeling is really good for you?
From an Italian comic "Alan Ford" that was popular in Yugoslavia:
Drugs affect your brain! It gives you an impression that you are in heaven when you are in fact in hell.
The impoverished think they are full of money while hungry ones think they are in front of a table full of tasty dishes. (Number One)
-Can we get some for our personal use? (Bob Rock)
That is why it is extremely easy to manipulate the masses, because it is easier to indulge in steady consumption on your couch
than to undertake something really useful for our organism and our life.
Have you noticed that good and healthy things are always more complicated and seemingly harder than the unhealthy ones?
Most of the plants that are good for our health have a bitter and bland taste in tea.
So what do most people do? Most people add sugar.
The vast majority of people basically love white refined sugar which is masking that bland and healthy taste of tea.
Why very bitter medicines used to be given to children with sugar?
Exactly for this reason, to easily swallow.
Even today you can choose different medications like effervescent tablet with the taste of wild berries. Yummy!
Why is it so difficult to start exercising even though you know you need it for your health?
Because exercise can hurt muscles.
It is not easy to start activities that are really good for us.
So it's easier to lie on the couch in front of the TV and the result is always the same,
you get your dose of happiness.
Just like a man who sweats while exercising but hey you got it without moving from the couch.
Such people belong to the vast majority of our society.
Start talking with them about the serious thematic like this and the reaction will be the same.
"Oh, come on give me a break with that boring subject. Did you see what a goal Ronaldo scored?
Let go of those subjects where I have to use my brain, tell me what did Kim Kardashian said to her boyfriend?
What does Stallone says, how much fuel spends that Lamborghini?"
Reality shows along with 95 percent of all other media activities are only a circus aimed at creating
the most ordinary, snuggled up and sleeping addicts.
These people are, not speaking figuratively but a real chemical junkies
who take their dose of hormones every day that make them stupid but very happy.
That's why you have to understand people like this, because it's not easy to get out of this golden cage.
You have to be extremely careful because some people will defend their circus extremely aggressively.
With that kind of people, it's best not to talk at all about such topics.
Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with watching a TV show or a football game sometimes,
I do that sometimes but the thing is I don't fanatically invest such energy and passion into them like other people.
Such energy can be diverted to something more useful.
Some people will never understand this or care about this.
Some of you raised your heads from sleepiness and wondered what and why is this happening?
Why aren't there 100.000 people demanding better working conditions and bigger salaries from their employers and their government?
Why are there 100.000 people on a concert or at the welcome party for football players?
Football as a football isn't bad but the thing is that the people will not raise their voices for something more useful in their lives.
Cheering for 11 rich men chasing for a leather ball will not change
your status and will not bring you a better salary, in either case if they win or lose on the field.
So shut down the TV and cellphones of you family members,
like let's do something else this evening and you'll see their reactions and how hard it is to exit this circus and that hypnosis.
Being alone with you thoughts and realizing what kind of crappy circus this is, is a scary thing.
But you are becoming a continuous in a mass of unconscious, and that has it's advantages.
You realize there are opportunities that can completely change your lives for the better.
It's a big illusion that you can just leave this game, this game we all play without exception there is no way out.
The only way to leave this game is to completely leave this civilization and cut all ties with it.
And you leave far the deserted island or wilderness.
Not a village which is also a part of the system but the real wilderness out of reach from today's civilization.
But who is really ready for a such a move?
We can't just leave this civilization and that's not the real solution.
The real solution is to play this game but under our own conditions.
To learn the rules and start playing first you must realize that you are in this game.
Many people are not aware of that and live in their own fantasies until the new meal and doze of happiness.
Many people are sleepers, snugged into the systems that take care of you.
If they'd wake up the heads of their leaders would come off.
That happened many times in history and this is why the game was upgadet to a higher level.
This game is functioning very well for now, we'll see for how long.
That is my friend the harsh truth.
? This is bound to happen.
