Argument from incredulity:
"That conflicts with my personal beliefs, so it must not be true."
Please pardon this minor presumption, but this one is for the skeptics and educational for anyone else. It's also going to prove that trusting Government and Corporations is maybe not the smartest thing to do. In fact, I'm thinking of becoming a non-practicing citizen…Just kidding!
Recently, I learned some things that inspired me to illustrate just how easy it is to set up a Control System, a systematic scheme. For those who think Critical Theory, Child trafficking, and the Banking Mafia are mere 'conspiracy theories,' allow me the chance to prove you wrong, so that you don't have to remain wrong anymore. 😉
All kidding aside, it's my hope to show the most straightforward way conspiracies do happen and aren't theory at all. Because if the simple & blatant ones can happen then the more sinister and all encompassing conspiracies are naturally going to be a little more subtle and sly, while hiding in plain sight.
So, let's take a quick flight to West Virginia.
Appalachia. Coal mining country. Or, at least it used to be and fairly recently. But the change of the guard after 2020 canceled coal and destroyed this area's entire economy, even though they used to be around 80% Democrat voters. They aren't anymore! Wait, before anyone gets bogged down with their politics, I'll let bygones be bygones and drive away from that.
We'll roll on into a part of WV that's become like a ghost town with our rental truck and maybe a cap on our heads to blend in with the locals. I'm sure you've heard stories about West Virginia folk. Most of them are Hollywood bigotry and urban myths, though. After about 2000, it did get pretty bad here thanks to things like Meth and youngsters embracing neo-Marxism and Nihilism, but 20 years later it's mostly just people trying to survive rough times.
If we were to stop and speak with a guy in his 60s still living here now, we'd find out he's not as off-put by strangers as you mayhap been told and he ain't off-putting like you might've thought. And yes, they have internet and toilets here and them cold box refrigerator things, too. Even running water. And they're human, like everyone else.
When the coal industry was forced to collapse here, the thing is that none of them were offered any type of alternative. Nothing. There were no other jobs or infrastructures put in coal's place. The miners and the rest of them completely got the shaft, so to speak. That's Government Conspiracy for ya! It conspired to create new policy that didn't give a damm about these people. And yet, the coal corporations were just as bad to their predecessors.
Last century (and in some isolated cases more recently) there was another Conspiracy taking place. The coal companies used to pay workers in scrip, NOT dollars. They weren't earning a full salary to do what they wanted with or save up in a bank. That made it tough to ever leave town. And nearly all of them back then never left for their whole life. Do you know why?
Conspiracies happen in real life.
Those workers who were paid in scrip (credit) could only use that credit at stores owned by the Coal company. See where I'm going? They couldn't go and use that hard earned scrip in another far away town or state. They couldn't go on a vacation with it. Nope. They had to stay smack dab within the company's limits like a captive audience or a captured slave. This is known to have still been happening (illegally) in some places up to at least 2008, if not beyond.
Anyway, the coal corporation was double dipping. Imagine how profitable and controlling that was! It kept a lot of workers in debt, needing to work off the food and supplies they'd already used up. They were stuck!
Corporations outside of coal these days aren't that much different in terms of having a captive audience. It's gotten to the point where we almost can't go to a store that isn't owned or controlled by people who support Critical Theory, "Wokeism," and Anti-Christian sentiments.
We’re like last century's West Virginians, except it's across the whole country, if not the world, with only pockets of possible reprieve in smaller towns at Mom n Pop shops.
We probably can't even go on a vacation without supporting at least one or more companies that are blatantly against our values and our way of life.
That's why so many of us have already given in to the world and compromised their principles, even their very souls if you believe in that. Sounds dramatic, but we're kind of surrounded by enablers of bullies, who know how to get what they want. Including politicians and corporations who support blatantly anti-heternormative bigots, who want boys to be in girls bathrooms and locker rooms.
What's worse is there are totalitarian Technocratic ideas floating around. I don't know how many of you have seen them?
Ideas like moving all of us to digital only currency. Which, guess what...is quite similar to Scrip!
Imagine if some ‘crisis' happened and we were only allowed to use our Digital Scrip at certain places, or only within a small radius of our home. If this were to happen, it would be another in a long line of regressive decisions that are sneakily called progressive and innovative. It's simply just another way to control the whole system. It's what you’d do when building a Control System.
If a business owner doesn't do what the controlling powers say, then they can be denied use of the computer system which transfers the digital currency. They'd have to either conform to the crazy people in power or go out of business! Meaning that we would all become a captive audience like those working for a Coal mining company in West Virginia last century.
I don't know about y'all out there. But I don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to realize that corporations and government aren't trustworthy these days. Neither is the banking/loaning system. Certainly not Woke Activists or Technocrats. But my apologies for being a realist there, for a moment.
Because I still think we can fight it
I think there's still hope, as long as we see it ahead of time and share information with others, rather than ignorantly sitting by as it happens.
Before we leave, let's tell the West Virginians we got their backs if they need it. And let's mean it, in what we do from here on out. We are one of them now, in one way or another. Let's remain vigilant, in that we don't go along with Woke companies or Digital scrip. Hold the line. Any future chances of some sort of freedom rests on that!
Will talk more about *Control Systems* in the next post. It's something I once studied in college and know a few things about...
See you next time, Peace be within you!
