The Quiet Weapon against freedom.

We all know about the information war going on right now in politics, media corporations, and the tech companies, but there is also another war that is being waged....

The trouble with this war, is that there is no 'easy' enemy. If you were to try and pin it down, you could easily say that the enemy is our own success.
And that's a hard foe to fight...

While we hear the information war mantra ' there's a war on for your minds', we understand it to mean 'a fight for your conscious thought processes.'
While this is most certainly true, maybe there is a different war going on altogether - and very possibly more damaging than any of the current battles that we find ourselves fighting right now.

Imagination and digital success.

Imagination is the capacity to produce images, ideas and sensations in the mind without any immediate input of the senses (such as seeing or hearing).
Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process.

As children our imagination is at it's strongest, and anything that interferes with exercising that muscle, can only be seen as detrimental. To the child, and to society.

From imagination.... comes everything.

As adults our 'imagination muscles' are under constant attack from 'real life', and it is only with effort that we can maintain our 'inner child eye'
Without imagination, we become automatons almost. We are biological units fulfilling functions.
The spark has left the building, so to speak.

With the new age of the digital world, our young people are now under attack. Their imagination muscles are being atrophied before they have even begun to grow.
The computer screen offers all the stimulus needed, and thus no need to exercise the 'imagination muscle'.
Social media provides all the interaction you could want, without the need t exercise the social muscle of human interaction.
Working out life's problems as a child (using your imagination), has become seemingly less relevant in today's world.

And THAT is dangerous.

Without imagination, we have nothing. ...We will become nothing..

Now imagine a conspiratorial world of manipulators.

Imagine they are the heads of secret intelligence and research services - with unlimited money and resources...
Imagine they knew all about the internet - years before it was publicly known, and have run hundreds of thousand of hours testing it, working out how this digital world interacts with the real world.
Imagine the know how the human being interacts with the internet, and how it affects them.
Imagine they had all this knowledge years before annoying dial up tones even hit the market....
... DARPA and the internet...? We either know this to be pretty much true, or we think these people are retarded...
(I think the scientist and researchers involved in these programs are exceptionally intelligent.)

Imagine if the things that we are seeing now - such as social media addiction, the loss of imagination, social anxiety, etc, were patterns of behavior already known to these people....

As manipulators and psychopaths hell bent on one world government and total control, it is the stifling of the imagination that is important.
The ULTIMATE victory.
With no imagination to see things any differently....control is guaranteed...

To paraphrase a Rothchilds

" Give me the annihilation of a child's imagination, and I care not who does anything... for now.."

The last thing communism needs, is people with imagination....

Maybe - just maybe - our information war is nothing more than a psi op - keeping everyone distracted in the now, as the future is being taken away silently..... one computer game at a time...
Maybe, just maybe - We are doing exactly as the the powers that be, want us to react....
Maybe They have had more time, more money, and more brains invested in the conspiracy, than 'we' could ever hope for..

We have to turn away from the convenient computer leisure time. The easy, the mind fed information - made by others.
We have to imagine for ourselves.
We have to use our imaginations, and encourage it at every opportunity in our young people.

If that means not allowing activities that purposefully stifle the 'inner eye', then so be it.
Kids will hate you for it, I recon (I'm not a parent) - but they will thank you as adults, that's for sure.

(Tabletop war gaming, for example...Use that muscle.. Even now, when I set up my table, and create different scenario's in my mind, I can feel myself and that 'childlike imagination', kicking back into gear. )

I only retain this because of building that mental muscles up in the first place, years ago, as a kid...

Zombie kids staring at a screen, is not parenting. It's convenient.

Maybe this is the 'real' war for our minds...
