Remember the Tyrants
If the Oligarchs running the system break it, what then? How can we reverse course before it breaks?
Thank you for reading this. Your time is noticed and appreciated, so I will try to make every word count.
The intent here is simple: finding solutions, together. Many people are just content on pointing out problems. Let’s not be those people. Even if there is only two of us here, let’s make a pact to be solution-minded. But hopefully there will be a lot more like-minded people joining us. If you are just arriving, welcome friend!
My wife says that people like funny. But how does one take something as serious as the future of humanity and turn it into something funny?
Then I saw this:
Brilliant. Thank goodness for the satire websites. But how far-off from reality is the satire really these days?
There was a time where I looked at conspiracy theorists as a “fringe minority” of people. But over time - and especially the last two years - most of the evidence continues to point in the same direction: There really does seem to be a group of powerful people working together to try to control most of humanity through a collusion of well scripted narratives, coercive tactics, and downright totalitarian behaviors. To what extent this exists is hard to say, but impossible to ignore anymore. Unless you try to, I suppose.
Unfortunately if you are one of the people who still doesn’t see it, I don’t have the wherewithal to lay it all out piece by piece here. But as a thought experiment think about this: What if only 10% of it is true? Isn’t that still terrifying enough to want to improve the system to prevent it?
If you are one of the people who do see it, well then you know.
And if you don’t see it then maybe it is because you are too scared to (which I completely and empathetically understand, it’s scary shit). Or, maybe you haven’t zoomed out your lens far enough to see the forces working in concert all over the Oligarchy Network Group. I mean some days the narrative is identical. We have all seen the videos of news anchors, politicians, and even celebrities parroting each other like narrative-programmed droids.
So that’s it. I have wrestled with every possibility in my head. But nothing outside of conspiring powerful people can so perfectly explain the inventive panoply of phenomenon we have experienced over the past several decades.
Some disbelievers work hard making up excuse after excuse in order to deny this reality. Meanwhile coincidence after coincidence continues to unfold resulting in headlines that were predicted nearly verbatim by people labeled “conspiracy theorists” years ago.
Seriously - go get twenty different newspapers from the past year, and ask yourself how dystopian the top story would have sounded to your 2019-year-old-self.
PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA FREEZES PEACEFUL PROTESTORS’ BANK ACCOUNTS AND SUSPENDS THEIR INSURANCE BECAUSE THEY DISAGREED WITH MANDATES FOR COERCED VACCINATION IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO WORK, TRAVEL, SHOP, ATTEND SCHOOL, OR IN SOME CASES GET MEDICAL AID. ALL UNDER EMERGENCY POWERS (ORIGINALLY NAMED THE WAR ACT). AND ALL BECAUSE OF A VIRUS THAT - ALL EVIDENCE POINTS TO - WAS WORKED ON TO GAIN FUNCTIONS AND INFECT HUMANS IN A LAB FUNDED BY BOTH USA AND CHINA.
I mean seriously. Doubters of conspiracy theories usually brush off stories because they sound too dystopian. But what would your 2019-year-old-self call that news story?
Plus, if we want to get science involved here, shouldn’t the person with the most accurate predictions garner the most credibility? Who predicted all of this? The tin foil hats scored highest on that take-home test.
No reasonable person can any longer conclude that what is happening is anything but an agenda. If you simply take the statement “we are being conspired against” it fits like a perfect puzzle piece into almost every scenario and ties it all together with a perfect little bow. So maybe it is time we just admit it, and start thinking about solutions that are the most peaceful and gracious for everyone involved.
So what’s next?
If you are still with me then let’s lay some groundwork. The enemy of corruption is transparency, right? If our system is corrupted - which it is, and I bet we all can agree on that - how can we shine the brightest lights on it for all of us to see? Or better yet, let’s find political candidates we can vote for whose main mission is to get into the system and shine lights on it for us, and expose the corruption from within. Pay them bounties with crowd sourcing. There are so many possibilities. And how do we trust them? We make them use technology too. Imagine what police cameras did for policing. Now let’s do that for politicians. This is all outlined in my fist article here.
The details are not important yet. What is important is our way of thinking. We need to think about broad solutions to fight against powerful, centralized forces that have corrupted our systems.
The two answers I hear most often from the great minds of today are: transparency, and decentralization.
So let’s start there. How do we make centralized power more decentralized (more on that here)? And how do do we make our system as transparent as possible? The voters should see what is really going on in real time.
Lastly, if you are still here but are one of the people who doesn’t see the collusion… I get it. But let me ask you one thing: What are the chances you could be wrong?
Fixing the possibility of this problem makes the system better even if there is no collusion. So there really is nothing to lose by being solutions-minded to prevent it.
In order to correct course, we need people talking about just that.
As always the entire purpose of this is to hear your feedback. So please leave comments below or join the upcoming discussions in THE RATIONALISTS group on Facebook, here.

Agree! The powerful have corrupted our politicians through financial rewards. It’s not just at the top, it’s also at the local level.
I think transparency and we need a checks and balances that the people can trust.
We see that the media can be corrupted.
We see that our political parties can be corrupted.
Obviously our corporations can be corrupted.
Part of it is the unquenchable greed of our system and the need to beat quarterly profits but never looking at how does this effect 10/20/30 years down the road for our business, our customers, our country?
Amazon is the number 1 employer right now and the former CEO and founder is living like Lex Luthor and just built a spaceship while his delivery drivers have to go to the bathroom in bottles on the go. And yes they are paying 15$ but that is barely a liveable wage. And they don't get benefits the way my grandfather received and you need a two household income to survive which makes child rearing so unstable.
Imagine they split the billions in profits with employees and spent a percentage on infrastructure that they use in excess of compared to other companies.
It would hurt quarterly profits but it would set an example for what we should be doing.
Anyways greed is at the heart of these problems and I agree transparency will help, but it is going to take a lot of people to pay attention and it will be an uphill battle.
That being said I thought ubi was fringe 4 years ago now it's widely discussed.
So the needle can be moved.
