Over a year ago we watched the movie, V for Vendetta. Like many others, I thought it was a really good analogy of our present global situation even if it was presented as being "in the future." It not only conveys the idea of how the media is spun in a number of brilliant scenes, but it actually discussed the fact that words were being changed, that our language was being co-opted to the use of the psychopaths.

Let's take a look at a few clips specially edited to make the point and then I'll continue:

One year ago, at about this time, everybody was pretty excited because they were sure that the elections in the U.S. were going to change things - bring an end to the Bush Madness. However, due to our knowledge of psychopathy, we thought otherwise. One year ago, on November 8, 2006, I wrote:

"So you think "the system worked", democracy has won out, and that yesterday's election is the first step to straightening out the mess Bush and the Neocons have made on the planet?

"Think again. It's not that "the system" didn't work; it worked very well, but you have again been duped.

"Nothing has changed. In fact, many of you have been put back to sleep by the staged Democratic victory which was set up just for that purpose; to make you think you still live in a democracy. The fact is, the Zionist halter is as firmly strapped on the head of American State policy as it ever was, and the American voter needs to realize that it is immaterial which party prevails at elections."

I was right - as I have been over and over again.

It doesn't make me happy to be right.

On June 3, 2007 I wrote:

"Again and again I receive letters from political action groups asking for money and support. I've given money and support and also written endless letters and emails telling them that their "political actions" aren't going to amount to a hill of beans if they do not factor psychopathy into the equation. They were all so sure that getting the Democrats back in control was going to change everything, and the fact is, nothing has changed. All that money and effort wasted. And now people are realizing it even though we have been saying it all along."

I don't wish to single out any one "political action" group, but it is hard to ignore the fact that moveon.org - supposedly a grass-roots political action group - has raised literally millions of dollarsto support political actions - none of which have changed one damn thing. The jackboots of Fascism still march across the planet.

You just have to wonder what kinds of changes could be possible if the masses of people who donate to moveon.org were fully aware of psychopathology in politics, and fully aware that they are not up against just simply a "political" situation, but rather a criminal coup d'etat, and that putting money into "political action" is just pouring it into a black hole.

Nothing is going to change until the masses of people become aware of pathology in politics - psychopaths in power - and that awareness will either come by activism or by suffering directly at the hands of the criminals in charge; take your pick.

People don't realize that by trying to "smooth things over, make nice, and hope there is a political solution," they are just delaying the inevitable. Until you fully understand psychopathy, you cannot understand that there really is no negotiating with them. There is one solution and one solution only: for the masses of people on this planet to en masse, withdraw all support from the psychopaths in power which was the point conveyed in the movie, V for Vendetta. Nothing more and nothing less will stop the descent into mass destruction.

But that isn't going to happen unless and until literally millions, if not billions, of people become aware of the true state of affairs. Not just vaguely aware, but viscerally aware of the great peril in which we all stand at this very moment.

Let's take some clues from the movie V for Vendetta. It is a marvelous representation of our situation and some of the key elements we need to deal with.

Early in the movie we are presented with a "futuristic" reality that, to an aware individual, is not so futuristic.

As Aldous Huxley wrote in Brave New World :

The older dictators fell because they never could supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Nor did they possess a really effective system of mind-manipulation.

Under a scientific dictator, education will really work - with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.

In short, V for Vendetta does a very good job of artistically re-creating the very reality we live in: a totalitarian regime called Norsefire.

One of the more interesting aspects of the movie is how it represents to us the effect of psychopaths upon certain types of people - the hero "V" himself, for example. In a surrealistic series of scenes, it shows us how well "V" learned the lesson and how he conveyed this to Evey by acting as her own personal psychopath. He makes it clear afterward how painful it was for him to have to shock her so severely but that he knew no other way of waking her up safely. This is a good point: how many people are going to have to die, as Evey's comedian friend Gordon Dietrich, (played by Stephen Fry) did, because they do not understand the depth of the depravity of the dystopian world psychopathy has created?

The point is that by forcing Evey to experience what he had gone through himself at the hands of psychopaths, V hoped to teach Evey that our integrity, "the very last inch of us", is more important than our lives. Evey is initially very angry at V for what he has done to her, but soon realizes that, having faced her own death, she is now able to live without fear.

We all need to face that, and the sooner the better. We need to face the fact that the pathocrats in power really DO intend the deaths of millions of people, and anybody who values human life, truth, justice, honor and integrity just happen to be in the crosshairs. There is no possibility of "working things out." There is no possibility of change until people are able to take the unpleasant medicine necessary to cure the body-politic. And generally, as I just mentioned, they are not willing to take that medicine until they are so ill they have no choice. The sad thing is that, by that time, they have generally lost precious loved ones or their own freedom.

We come back to the possibility of activism bringing about change.

Yes, it's possible. After all, we got into this mess by being hypnotized and bamboozled and conned. We COULD reverse the process with enough funds and help. People were put to sleep with propaganda, they could be awakened via a reverse process.

But that isn't gonna be cheap. Literally billions have been spent pulling the wool over the eyes of the people. There are entire government agencies with astronomical black budgets that serve the agenda of keeping people ignorant and asleep.

And that's where you, the reader, come in.

Come on! We have 10 to 20 thousand readers a day! If each of you only gave a single dollar a week, or five bucks a month, we could buy a heck of a lot of advertising, distribute truckloads of books, brochures, flyers, posters, and what have you. We could educate a whole lot of people on less than your soda money for a week! But ONLY if ALL of you pitch in! As Joe Quinn recently wrote:

The Truth is that if YOU don't do it, then not only are you going nowhere, but in the context of a group effort, there is a good chance that no one else is either, that is to say, you, each one of us, is 100% responsible for the success of this group effort.

The person who understands the True nature of the battle and the dire need for defenders on the front line, realises that if the defensive lines do not hold, if the enemy is not held at bay, if the cause for which he/she fights is not upheld then HE or SHE LOSES ALL. It is not a matter of being a mere soldier who takes orders from others and has no actual responsibility for the successful outcome of the battle, it is a matter of understanding that this is a battle for your own life and the lives of those you love, it is a battle for which you, along with each of your comrades, are SOLELY responsible.

The people who, as V described it, "see nothing", understand none of this. They believe that if they can just hang out and be on the winning side then all of their personal problems will be solved. Such a person is unable to understand the broader concepts and ideals for which the first person fights. They know that this is a fight for Truth, but they dismiss their own ability to contribute to that fight because they place value judgments on the "insignificance" of the part which they are able to play. They think: "what's one more person?... what difference will it make? I can make no difference, what's the point?"

Such a person fails to understand the nature of the battle in which they are engaged, they fail to understand or have NO FAITH in a true group dynamic and the effect it can have. They fail to understand the reality of non-linearity and that the apparently insignificant effort of one person can have GREAT significance if it is done in the spirit or with the intent of a group effort. In that case the "small effort" is automatically added to the efforts of all other members of the group and all such efforts combine to become far more than the sum of the parts.

A radically different understanding of WHY we are doing something TOTALLY changes and vastly increases the effect it can have.

Folks, we are on the front line, we need people who can stand WITH us on the front line and assume responsibility for ALL, just as we do. What we do NOT need is "hangers on", people who are here because they think they can "get" something from the efforts of others. If you believe this, let me tell you now, in the plainest possible terms, you are seriously mistaken, you will "get" nothing, for such people there is nothing to get. You receive only in the measure that you give. Give unconditionally of your efforts and energy to the cause that that small hidden part of you was drawn in the beginning and you will receive unconditionally, and not from us, because you are giving nothing to us, we are all giving to the Truth, to the creative side of the universe and in doing so we are giving to ourselves, to that part of us that yearns for true Being.

SOTT.net is entirely supported by our readers. We don't have ads, we don't have sponsors, and that means we don't have any hidden agendas. However, that means that without your financial support, we won't survive. More than our not surviving, we will not be able to help YOU to survive!

Surely, we can do better than waste money on things like putting more criminals in Congress, whether they are democans or republicrats. Let's forget that whole election nonsense; we ALL know it is rigged - democracy is already dead in the U.S. (and most of the rest of the world, for that matter.) We have already seen how the Democrats sold out their supporters and voters (as if either mattered) on their first day in office! How many times do you have to experience that to get it?

How about doing something with your money that will make a difference and maybe save the life of someone you love in the bargain (not to mention your own). That's not bad for the cost of a soda, is it? But again, everybody need to be 100% responsible even with their small contribution.

We aren't looking for donors who give a lot, we are looking for a lot of donors who can give a little - and that is just about everybody reading this website.

Remember: the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. It is only because masses of people stood behind him that V, through Evey, was able to take on psychopaths in power.

If you don't give, who will? If not now, when?

Please don't wait until it is too late.

In the movie, at the end, we see the army of the regime in a stand-off with the masses of the people who all begin to march silently from every direction wearing Guy Fawkes masks, hats and capes. Without their psychopathic masters to tell them what to do and to underwrite their safety, the soldiers are not able to fire upon this outstanding showing of normal human solidarity.

As Parliament begins to explode in a grand finale that makes merry the heart of normal man, the people begin, one by one, to remove their Guy Fawkes masks and one finally understands the symbolism:

Even though we are all individual human beings, those of us that ARE human all need to become as One - and that means excluding psychopaths and other deviants - in our search for the truth wherever that search may lead us...

Remember, remember the Fifth of November... Put on your Guy Fawkes mask and Give a "Penny" for the Guy!
