Military making monsters
Making monsters
by Underground Panther in the Sky, Unknown News

It looks like someone wants to remove humankind's' conscience.

The elites apparently want a society of servants without a conscience, obeying orders, without fear or self-interest and with no side effects that are costly impediments like post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) or remorse.

All they want is your heart, mind, body, beauty, and soul.

And they also want you to shut up and forget about it. They want to rip you apart, either painfully or painlessly, while you can't say no or even tell that they are doing it.

Do you really want humanity to have no conscience or guilt, remorse or compassion, no mercy, no love in it? Do you want everyone to avoid pain and to ensure service to become a sociopath? A servant — a living dead thing?

Is it because we have a conscience that this life hurts us so?

Or is it because something inside us, something just out of our perception does not want us to know who we are, and fears what we might see if we see through mountains, if we comprehended all of creation?

Every moment of the day a true Gnostic remembers that he is a divine being. He acknowledges his present state of being. He knows he is in the world, but not from the world. His body and soul are like garments that allow him to function in the world, but he strives his entire life to return to the Kingdom of Light. He does not attach importance to sensual pleasure or material gain, but focuses on the divine Light, or pneuma, within himself.

1. Great post
There's a wonderful film called "the Ninth Configuration" about an asylum for soldiers who've "gone crazy". It asks the old Hamlet question - whether they are, in fact, crazy or if the world itself is the thing that's mad and the soldiers themselves are sane. It deals with all these issues.

2. There's even more weird...
... shit out there that DARPA's funding. They're also paying a group at USC to develop brain/computer interfaces. Right now the stumbling block seems to be permanent electronic connections to brain tissue... but they're working on it.

5. All the more reason to have a draft. Dissent in the ranks is the
healthiest thing for an army and a democracy.
