The Three-Tier System

The world is being managed into a three-tier system; citizens, subjects, and managers. Presidents and Prime-Minsters have no power in this system. Nations are not sovereign and independent but are persuaded, forced, and blackmailed to get with the program. Citizens are very few, at the most there are 5%, but only about .1% are allowed to decide economic and social policy. Mangers are about 10-15% of the population, these are the technocrats who have a very good lifestyle and are the most important element. And the other 80% are subjects.

But this picture, that has also been voiced by others, is not fate or the work of divine providence. The 'to-be-or-not-to-be' global system, when it shows its face, will always be destined to break apart and replaced with a more equitable and democratic system. So rigid political and technological boundaries will probably be put in place to maintain a false order. This vast undertaking, however, will be fragile, unlike Nature which is firm and adaptable.

With that said, we can change the world in the next few years but in all likelihood we won't succeed because of the tremendous severity of the real and made-up crises engulfing humankind at the present hour. In times of crisis human beings follow the closest and most dominant authority, and the elites are shaping up to be the ones taking the charge. There is no mass movement, there are signs of it and it may take some crucial events to bring it into being but as if right now, we are in this for the long haul. Tyranny is a generational phenomena. Man has lived under fear and led by tyrants for most of his evolution on Earth so it is never out of the question that we can again accept tyranny. We already have, even if most of us haven't completely realized it yet. When the truth finally sets in, then the tyrants will begin to unravel their masterwork - even it fails miserably. Hitler and his fellow psychopaths at the top of his regime undertook the Holocaust in a very short time, but his plans were in the back of his mind for a long while. And the greatest lesson we can take from his grave is that he failed in the end - so destiny is never written no matter how much leaders and elites like to believe. Tyrants and the systems they put in place are always undone in the end.

All this is speculative chatter and probably doesn't matter but it's still good to air your doubts, however strange they may be. I think we are going to end up living in an situation resembling the one portrayed in films like V for Vendetta and others of the genre, where finally everybody is going to converge en masse and take back their puppet governments with their feet. I'll call it the March of Armageddon. But that is not going to happen anytime soon because I sincerely doubt that we currently have the numbers needed to sustain a long-lasting peaceful uprising. We need the collective mass to accomplish that task and we are not there yet. As soon as shots are fired and civil unrest emerges people are probably going to stay in doors, and those that resist will be forced to submit. In populated cities there will be curfews and surveillance, and people will have no choice in the matter.

Government leaders will label this upcoming period the 'transition' to a more peaceful time where everybody in the global community will be reimbursed with their freedoms and such. And this promise will be repeated to keep people hopeful. But there may come a time in the future when people will not rationalize tyranny anymore, not listen to the authority figures and just explode and rise up. It will be nature reinstating its sovereignty and independence in the world. As America's last assassinated president said, "man was born free and independent." And when that time comes there will be a new realization of nature and humanity and I will call it The Revival. Come to think of it, we maybe in that age right now and it's just taking a long time for us to listen closely to our unconscious because of the surreal aspect of it. Terrence McKenna foresaw it, so did Jung other shamans in the West. This Revival entails waking up and reintegrating with nature and our more humane qualities. Waking up feels like coming up from the deepest part of the ocean up to the surface and unable to hear anything because of the water in our ears. Once we shake our bodies we will come to our senses and it will then dawn on us - that we in fact made it out of the water and can begin to attend to the matter at hand.

There is a good chance that my speculations and dry metaphors are moronic and meaningless but they are entirely sincere. To be truthful, I haven't given this much thought but I think there is something to it - to my intuition I should say - because in films the future is always portrayed as a tyrant's paradise which troubles me. Maybe they are just visions by screenwriters who think like me and have no particular agenda of their own other than drawing millions of people into the movie theaters. Or maybe films are collective dreams. But Hollywood is Hollywood for a reason, and I'll venture to guess that Hollywood may be used for social engineering purposes on some occasions. Blockbuster films require lots of dough, and rich people have an agenda, they always have, so it only makes sense to assume that they will only fund projects that falls in line with their vision for the future.

I'm never confident about my suspicions because I am young but it's good to just write this out of my system. If each blog post required $5 then I would definitely keep these fears private because they are not that important in my mind, but blogging is free last time I updated. Besides, I'm free to fear anything I want. America is too, so let our imaginations run amok.

We can conceive our future on the spot, or expect as the way it's portrayed on film and in pop culture. Forty years ago people assumed we would be wearing jet packs in the year 2000 all because of television, which tells us that the energies of the imagination are powerful and that projection used as a propaganda tool is fundamental to understanding modern life. Hollywood myth-makers have imprinted their own vision of the future on the collective mind for a while now, and we should always be aware of that. It makes us anxious and assume reality as something pre-existing, something that is out of our hands. Okay, now I'm just rambling and stuck in a small rabbit hole where I lack the foresight to say anything else that won't be regarded as bullshit.

Update:

I am reading Jung and I was immediately pulled back to this post. I remember learning about Freud and his theories in school, but Jung was brought up only occasionally. It is a real shame because reading Jung is so much more fascinating and stimulating.

What if our inhibitions to come together and powerfully resist the system on a regular basis is a form of cultural neurosis? We don't just live in an economic repression, that is just the outer layer of our present troubles, but we are under real repression. Repression of the collective unconscious may explain a lot more about our problems then declining economic statistics.

Jung spoke about how a significant number of patients recovered from their neurosis at the start of the second world war:
At the beginning of the war one observed that cases of compulsion neurosis which had lasted for many years suddenly were cured because they got into an entirely new condition. It is like a shock, you see that with shock. Even schizophrenics can be vastly improved by a shock, because that's a new condition; it is a very shocking thing that shocks them out of their habitual attitude. They are no longer in it, and then the whole thing collapses, the whole system that has been built up for years.
Jung was referring to how the system of thought within an individual build ups over a period and then suddenly ceasing, but the same is true of entire cultures, and even civilizations. This shock incident may happen to us individually or as a collective, but we all go through these motions at some point in our lives. It is not inherently bad but represents change and serves as a possible evolutionary mechanism, depending on what we choose to do after we experienced the shock. For example, do we act on our knowledge after a catastrophic event or sheepishly submit to the higher authority?

Moreover, the gross amount of Americans on pills and other harmful drugs is totally ludicrous. It is not the psyche that is pushing human beings into states of neurosis and other conditions but the way of the world, their immediate surroundings, and general life obstacles. Big Pharma drugs perpetuate the conditions and in a lot cases makes them worse. We can't allow this to go on. The personal psyche is very vulnerable, especially in children, and only ignorant doctors or total maniacs would tackle natural problems by way of artificial drugs. Also, most of the time the humans put on medication do not even have natural problems, let alone artificial ones. They are victims more than anything else, consumed into a medical and social nightmare that is absolutely tragic and very sickening. The corruption surrounding this issue and industry is even beyond the scale of the Church making their flock pay for 'salvation' with their hard-earned money. Practitioners of psychiatric drugs and other pushers in the medical drug game are worst than Fred Lucas and Ricky Ross, at least they had enough of a conscience to not sell drugs to children.

So where is our Luther and when will he pin his new theses on Big Pharma's doorstep? I'm guessing it won't be ninety-five this time around but it doesn't matter since we all have attention deficit disorder and will stop reading at five. Maybe our Luther will tweet his findings in ninety-five posts.

Luther or not, the madness must stop. It all boils down to making a consistent and collective effort to reveal this unscientific medical paradigm. We have to become conscious of these processes and act on what we have learned which Jung says is a moral imperative:
The development of consciousness is the burden, the suffering, and the blessing of mankind. Each new discovery leads to greater consciousness, and the path along which we are going is merely an extension of it. This inevitably calls for greater responsibility and enforces a great change in ourselves. We must draw conclusions from what we know and discover, and not take everything for granted.
