PUNCH AND JUDY
Don't watch the puppets, notice the puppeteers
A youngster viewing a puppet show will sit happily entranced and fascinated by the animated, talking marionettes, believing they are very much alive and real. One day, when the younster is older and sees the strings attached to the puppets for the very first time, the illusion is forever shattered. From that moment onward, the younster will always know that hidden hands control the lifeless puppets.
Most people living today have advanced into adulthood without ever having known of, or seen, the hidden hands controlling their systems of money, taxation, public education, social reform and so on. The nearly invisible strings attached to the marionettes are well concealed, and the marionettes themselves - politicians, religious leaders, heads of colleges, scientists, foundations and think-tanks, media moguls and other officials held in general-esteem by the populace - act so lifelike as to blend perfectly with their audience.
People of all political, religious and ethnic persuasions who make up the world's power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so beautifully grass-green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly coloured tags stapled to their ears.
These same people who cannot see their enslavement for the ever delicious pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane "conspiracy theorists"; those of us seeming loons who have strained hard to see past the farm and into the parlour of the feudal lordship's castle.
For the younster, the puppet-theatre is a small box with curtains, and the strings rise up to the hands of loving parents and friendly neighbours.
For the adult, the "Virtual Puppet-Theatre" is the controlled space between their ears. The space within in which their belief-system can be manipulated, held entranced and fascinated, by puppet-masters directing cleverly crafted plays, dramas, crises' and plots to which the audience is told will unfold to their general benefit and to the endings which have already been written.
Invisible strings called beliefs rise up to hidden hands holding global-wealth and power. As long as the illusion can be maintained, the audience can be held spellbound. For them, the show is their reality.
Until, one day - they notice the strings.
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre."
