“Now why do we speak
of films and entertainment? Because this is the way that your culture manifests
its out‑picturing of fear and love. If you would like to take a measurement of
how many films emanate the vibration of love and how many emanate the vibration
of fear, you will see that those scales are quite imbalanced at this time.
Because who is in control of the messages coming out of the western coast of
this country? Are these people motivated by the manifestation of love? They are
motivated by power and greed. You see, if you do not question that, you can not
change it. So we ask you to be very conscious of what you are available for, at
this time.” - Kuthumi (channelled through Ronna Prince, Ascended Master

gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and
replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would
sit quietly by as They ran the world. I think They thought you were too dumb to
notice.
Indeed,
I thought They had won.
But I
watched you occupy the capital of Wisconsin. I see you today as you occupy Wall
Street. And I see a spark, a glimmer of the glorious new age that is yours. A
changing of the guard, a guard that has stood for entirely too long and needs
your young legs to take his place.
I
watch you turn away from what is easy and stand up for what is right. I see you
understand we as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. I see you
wise beyond your years. And I am proud…You are beautiful."

"So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed
America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed
America, your government is in control again. Here, here's American Gladiators.
Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators. Here's
56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their fuckin skulls
together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go America,
you are free...to do as we tell you. You are free, to do as we tell you."
- Bill Hicks.
"Americans not only feel powerless, they are powerless.
They cannot do anything. The highly concentrated, corporate-owned,
government-subservient print and TV media are useless and no longer capable of
performing the historic role of protecting our rights and holding government
accountable. Even many antiwar Internet sites shield the government from 9/11
skepticism, and most defend the government's ‘righteous intent’ in its war on
terror. Acceptable criticism has to be couched in words such as ‘it doesn't
serve our interests.’ Voting has no effect. President "Change" is
worse than Bush/Cheney. As Jonathan Turley suggests, Obama is "the most
disastrous president in our history." Ron Paul is the only presidential
candidate who stands up for the Constitution, but the majority of Americans are
too unconcerned with the Constitution to appreciate him. To expect salvation
from an election is delusional. All you can do, if you are young enough, is to
leave the country. The only future for Americans is a nightmare." - Paul
Craig Roberts (from The Day America
Died).
“I don’t like anything in the mainstream and they don’t like
me.” - Bill Hicks.
"If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible." - Wilhelm Reich.
“At our level of consciousness thoughts are sluggish and dull. They are created by our limited imagination, which atrophies over time through logic and the constant bombardment of technology. Technology throws us ten thousand images a day, requiring us to do little with our own imaginations. So our perception is limited by a lack of imagination and use, and it is stifled by the bounds of our intellect which requires things to act in a certain way. It amazes me how many people have deteriorated to such an extent – through logic and technology – that they can’t visualise at all.” - Stuart Wilde (Whispering Winds of Change, Hay House, London, U.K., 1993/2007, p.150).

is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But
there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and
attention on mindless pap.” - Epictetus.
