The War for Your Mind: Money Vs. Human Life

Money is NOT more valuable than human life! But there are those attempting to convince you that it is. We can see the evidence of this in news articles that argue peace with North Korea or any other country for that matter is not good for the economy, not good for business. We can see it all around us in numerous ways, more and more every day.

There is, as many have become aware, a war being waged for the minds and hearts of humanity, and at the heart of this war is the battle between love of money and love of humanity, between greed and life itself. There are countless men of power – from bankers to media moguls, corporate executives to world leaders - who would lose all their power over others were the true equality of humanity realized by the masses, and it is these men through a world system known to many as the Matrix who are in the very process of attempting to indoctrinate the masses into believing that their money is worth more than your life.

They have already succeeded in constructing a consumerist society which completely revolves around money. Come election year, the top #1 political issue is always the economy – not ending poverty, not peace or justice or even saving a dying planet (which, without we will all die, mind you), but creating jobs and a booming economy. Our entire lives are spent working for money, spending money, going into debt to get even more money, in western society where life seems to pretty much revolve almost exclusively around money and the things money can buy (as if those things cannot be gotten without money, which is simply not true). It is all by design. You see, the more hooked you are on their money, the more likely you are to buy into the lie that this money is worth more than life itself.

And sure enough, western societal constructs are currently in the process of conditioning people to place more value on money than on life itself. The signs of this coordinated assault on humanity are everywhere, the indoctrination campaign is in full swing, particularly in the media and entertainment industries. In this post I am just going to share one glaring example from I noticed from within the music industry a few years back, which I find to be really quite interesting.

About four years ago there were two country singles that began playing on the radio about the same time, which had completely opposing messages. One was entitled 'It Can Buy Me a Boat' and was all about seeking money and the material things money can buy.

The other was called 'Trailer Hitch' and was all about giving your money and things away.

The contrast between the two could not have been more clear. The message of the one was essentially that, although money may not be able to buy happiness, “it can buy me a boat, it can buy me a truck to pull it,” and that “a couple million dollars” would pretty much solve all your problems; while the other emphasized the futility of accumulating thing after thing after thing, - “work your way down that list, when “you can't take it with you when you go, I've never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch.”

The message of the one was that of greed, and what I found most disturbing about it was that the lyrics subtly pushed the idea that not only was money the key to happiness, but is in fact worth more than human life. There was actually a line in the song in which the song-writer wished he had a rich uncle who had died and left him a fortune so he was now rich too! Yes, that's right, wishing death upon his own family member in order to inherit millions. “I wish I had a rich uncle who kicked the bucket, and I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffet,” the song goes.

Because it's not enough to wish you had a rich uncle who would buy you the boat and truck you want so bad, but it is specifically written into the song the wish that this rich uncle would die in order that you get that big pile of cash to buy the boat and truck and everything else to go along with them. If that's not deliberate programming intended to indoctrinate the mindless masses to value money more than human life then I don't know what is.

One of those 2 songs quickly faded from the radio playlists never to be heard on air again, while one is still played quite frequently to this day. One has 1.3 million views on YouTube, while the other has 119 million views!

Yes, the latter is already up another million views since I took the screenshot just last week if you can believe that. If this comparison tells us anything about society right now, it is that the programming is working. If it is a glimpse into which side is winning in this war on the mind of society, it would sure seem the side of greed is winning out over humanity. And that is sad indeed.

I've seen this in my own personal experience as well, as I actually had a roommate who said that he thought a million dollars was worth more than his own life, because he'd never be able to make that much money is his whole lifetime! So it does appear the programming is beginning to take hold, even on good-hearted people of society.

Hopefully more people will continue to wake up from the consumerist slumber they've been put into, realize they are being indoctrinated into a system of belief that values their own life less than worthless paper, and rise above the greed and rampant materialism the powers that be want us to be so enamored with. After all, money is not more valuable than life, no matter how many people believe it to be so; it never has been, and it never will be.

A false dichotomy and bid bot misuse. Not cool, man. Not cool at all.
