[Users] Intellectual Violence - article from Think Or Be Eaten- By Ang

[Iyana Kellerman]

It's true.  Quite clearly true, actually, what that article said.  
You just want to think that your precious little country is so 
much better than everyone else because supposedly everyone else 
is so much more violent and horrible than yourself.  I fucking 
hate people like that.  You know what, as far as I care, they can 
all disappear.  The world will be a much less terrible place.
I once had a dream that every time someone lied, supported lies, 
deceived, or any such thing, all of the electronics they owned 
were destroyed, and they were unable to speak.  Therefore, people 
could lie to them and deceive them, and take over their minds, 
and they followed like obedient slaves, and all along, they knew 
what was happening, but were unable to resist.  If only you knew.  
You poor, poor little person.  All of you poor people.  I almost 
feel sorry that you have allowed yourself to become so 
brainwashed.

>> The Liar's Toolbox

>> Today there is much killing of innocents happening in the name 
of the good
>> guys vs.  the bad guys, but what is never called to account is 
who defines
>> good and bad.  Without exception it is never a simple case of 
good guys
>> versus bad guys; it is in fact a case of aggressors calling the 
others bad
>> because those others are not doing what is desired by the 
aggressor.  They
>> are the legal owners of lands and resources the aggressor 
covets, they exist
>> in the way of the aggressors and in blatant contradiction to 
false claims to
>> ownership of the land and its resources.  The others who have 
what the
>> aggressors want are always automatically the bad guys, and 
that's nothing
>> but a big fat lie.  It's hypocrisy.  And that's always attached 
to lies.
>> Hypocrisy is one of the main tools in the liar's toolbox.

>> Hypocrisy is when we believe we deserve to have free will but we 
refuse to
>> extend the same human right to others.  This is a very important 
tool in the
>> Liar's toolbox.  It is used to try to justify violence against 
others with
>> all manner of lies and excuses, like religious differences, 
racial
>> differences, any kind of differences will be used to try to 
justify
>> perpetrating violence against others when we want what belongs 
to them.
>> Where ever there is hypocrisy there is lying going on and the 
sad reality
>> will be that a lot of good people will have bought in to those 
lies and will
>> be an opposing force to the truth.  They will not be able to see 
their own
>> hypocrisy.  Hypocrisy is a serious, dangerous sin and it's one 
we should add
>> to the list of things we want to find
>> in ourselves and do away with.

>> Another item in the Liar's Toolbox is indifference.  Sometimes 
called
>> depraved indifference the meaning is simple enough to gather.  
When we are
>> indifferent to the suffering of others we are committing a crime 
of violence
>> against them.  When big corporations or governments take steps 
in their own
>> self interests that result in harm being done to others, 
directly or
>> indirectly, they know it.  That they proceed anyway makes it 
criminal.

>> Failing to notice or consider that our actions harm others is 
not an excuse
>> and it cannot be justified.  Saying they just didn't know, or 
worse, framing
>> and promoting illicit depraved concepts like "collateral damage" 
is no
>> excuse either.  There is no such thing as lives that don't 
matter.

>> No matter what claims are being made to justify violence in the 
name of self
>> interest, there is no justification.  When we are led to believe 
otherwise
>> that in itself is a crime being perpetrated on all of us.  We 
are being
>> insulted every bit as much as their innocent victims.  The 
message is that
>> others don't matter in the name of their personal goals and 
desires, and
>> that's invalid on its face.  Others always matter and life 
always matters
>> more than any ideology or game plan.  More than any government's 
desire for
>> power and prestige, more than any corporation's greed and 
psychotic lust for
>> endless expansion.  Those things in fact and in reality are 
worthless up
>> against human life and well being.  Pretending otherwise is 
always and only a
>> lie.

>> It's Not Just About Stuff

>> We're encouraged to believe that crime is all about property and 
ownership
>> rights, and that there can be no crimes without property or life 
being
>> involved but that's only seeing the peel and missing the entire 
banana
>> beneath it.  Every dishonest contract, every con job, every 
petty theft,
>> every rape or act of child molestation, every bogus war we're 
led into based
>> on lies, is always about depriving people of something that's 
rightfully and
>> only theirs.  That can be property, rights, dignity, life or 
limb, freedom of
>> choice, or even the information needed to make the best 
decisions.  Again,
>> all of that boils down to overriding the free will of others.  
These are all
>> forms of violence, ways of violating the human birthright to 
have free will
>> and freedom of choice in all things pertaining to our own lives, 
persons,
>> and property.

>> Violence used at any other time than in literal, imminent self 
defense from
>> a violent attacker is criminal.  It is unnecessary and 
unjustified.  Yet it is
>> prevalent and it is everywhere, from behind the closed doors of 
private
>> homes to out in the open in the streets, the kinds of violence 
of wars and
>> political unrest.  Take Africa for example and the carnage going 
on there.
>> It's all completely unjustified, it's criminal, people are 
getting hurt and
>> dying and there is no end in sight.  No good comes of this way 
of getting
>> what you want at the expense of others without the consent of 
all involved.

>> There is no need to fund and instigate the social crisis there, 
which is
>> what is being done by powerful, wealthy corporations and their 
copartners in
>> governments.  It is being done to consume the rich resources of 
that land for
>> the benefit of those who already have more than enough, so that 
they can
>> have even more for themselves.  Greed is not good.  It is just 
another weapon
>> in the liars toolbox.  Greed is always fed with the blood of 
innocent people
>> and it is a crime.

>> Depriving others of what's rightfully theirs is what it always 
boils down to
>> and that's why violence beyond literal, imminent self defense 
from a violent
>> attacker is always criminal.  It can not be tolerated.  Not any 
more.  Not in
>> the 21st Century.  It is long past time for humanity with its 
consciousness
>> raised and its improved access to education to make the 
necessary
>> spiritual/emotional/doctrinal adjustments to go along with that 
increased
>> knowledge and awareness.  Meaning, it's time for us to change 
for the better.

>> It's time for us now to take responsibility, which is what must 
be done when

without
>> responsibility is an unforgivable failure.  It's also 
self-defeating because
>> it enables that which is not true to dominate us.

>> Honesty isn't just the best public policy, it's the only public 
policy

violence
>> because it violates the peoples right to exercise their free 
will.  It

for ourselves
>> by giving us

lead us to

will then be

want.  That's

not recognized

painful, yet how
>> many of us have ever made the connection? They're taking what 
they want by

>> We tend to think of violence only in terms of physical things, 
blood, bullet

the collective

people who by the

wiggle room

essence of crime

their own

only beginning

and a whole

about that.
>> Everything about it is criminal.

>> These controllers have managed to get a dominant foothold into 
every major
>> aspect of society.  The justice system, the departments of 
government, the
>> church, public and higher education have all been infiltrated 
and are in the
>> process of being ideologically raped.  They own and control the 
media and

the truth

they're getting
>> what they want,

different

consciousness

because they know

they either

to violate
>> our consciousness with an endless stream of lies to make us want 
to go along
>> with them.  And they're experts at this.  And we pay them to do 
it and they
>> use our money to do it to us.

>> Every aspect of how they operate is an insult and a violation of 
the
>> public's right to choose in their own behalf.  We can no longer 
make

the

we will ever

they want us

>> We have only to look around us to gauge the numbers of innocent 
people dying

evil has

only to

laws to

killers and

its very roots

being turned
>> into everything we claim to hate and would risk our lives to 
fight against,
>> and we no longer seem capable
>> of recognizing it.

>> Our laws are quickly being changed from things that protect our 
God given
>> right to exercise our free will without encumbrance from power 
and

privilege to
>> encumber us and prevent us from living in freedom.  The lie is 
that it is

be kept safe

secrecy, so
>> disdainful of
>> being bound by the laws that bind the rest of us, and so 
unconcerned with
>> our core principles of protecting every individual from violence 
and
>> interference
>> by the government into their private lives.  This government 
represents
>> everything we once fought to be free of, and then some.

>> They use every form of violence and force conceivable, and have 
many others
>> being developed, most of which are further insults to freedom 
and free will.
>> All of them have the intended goal of depriving us of even more 
freedom, of
>> our right to speak openly about what we see happening, of our 
hope and
>> expectation that justice will be done and that they will be made 
to stop.
>> Now that they are making the rules they will not stop.  We are 
drowning in a
>> sea of lies.

>> When lies dominate us then evil dominates our society.  We are 
willingly or
>> unwillingly forced to be complicit in the actions that evil 
desires to carry
>> out.  And it will always desire to perpetrate the greatest 
possible evils it
>> can get away with.  It spells the destruction of centuries of 
hard work and
>> struggle specifically to stop, control and prevent evil from 
taking over our
>> government, our country and our private lives.  When lies are so 
common they
>> become what feels normal and rational to us, we are certainly 
lost and it's
>> only a matter of time before we'll have to pay the price of our 
ignorance
>> and inability to discern something as simple as right from 
wrong.

>> We are all victims of intellectual violence, and knowing right 
from wrong

ever
