The unholy war
The alleged necessity of ‘law‘ and authority is so firmly planted in the average mind that living without 'government‘, is almost unthinkable to most people. The same people, on the other hand, will admit that rules, regulations, taxes, officiousness and abuse of power are irritating to say the least. It starts with compulsory schooling. The idea is not to educate, but to indoctrinate using various means including religion which helps maintaining the pretences of ‘lawfulness‘ encouraging to act as ‘a good boy‘ (‘ Christian‘) so if they want to hit you again and again offer the other cheek allowing them to have fun hurting you. By pretending that there can be success by peaceful demonstrations, creating committees and organisations that can be easily monitored, infiltrated and manipulated they diffuse real opposition and do not give them a slightest chance of winning. The struggle against an entrenched ‘system‘ (supported by a large mass of the population who have submitted to its deceptive, illusory techniques) is extremely difficult without cumulative support of other people.There is a great deal of fear to overcome, deliberately instigated confusion, and a lack of ALTERNATIVES that are practical, effective and are convincing to a population now under the rule of the ‘New World Order‘ as they call themselves. The system is oppressive, and often brutal, but that is no problem as long as others are the victims. The persecution and intimidation takes place within the legal system when the powers, which decide to label you as the enemy, use all their wicked and immoral means to silence anyone who would change the conditions under which they thrive. In Australia during early colonial days people belonging to so called ‘authority‘ = ‘homo brutanicus‘ had good reasons to feel like semi gods. On the bottom level the policeman (the ‘law‘) remains an element of the wider scenery of the clique in legal industry where all parts (police, lawyers, magistrates/judges) collaborate to maintain the legend that ‘you cannot win‘ so you better resign, submit and stop dreaming about ‘justice‘. Under current conditions neither an open rebellion nor a revolution can succeed. From A History of Freedom of Thought In the most civilized countries, freedom of speech is taken as a matter of course and seems a perfectly simple thing. We are so accustomed to it that we look on it as a natural right. But this right has been acquired only in quite recent times, and the way to its attainment has lain through lakes of blood. The average brain is naturally lazy and tends to take the line of least resistance. The mental world of the ordinary man consists of beliefs which he has accepted without questioning and to which he is firmly attached; he is instinctively hostile to anything which would upset the established order of this familiar world. The repugnance due to mere mental laziness is increased by a positive feeling of fear. The conservative instinct, and the conservative doctrine which is its consequence, are strengthened by superstition. If the social structure, including the whole body of customs and opinions, is associated intimately with religious belief and is supposed to be under divine patronage, criticism of the social order savours of impiety, while criticism of the religious belief is a direct challenge to the wrath of supernatural powers. Let us suppose, for instance, that a people believes that solar eclipses are signs employed by their Deity for the special purpose of communicating useful information to them, and that a clever man discovers the true cause of eclipses. His compatriots in the first place dislike his discovery because they find it very difficult to reconcile with their other ideas; in the second place, it disturbs them, because it upsets an arrangement which they consider highly advantageous to their community; finally, it frightens them, as an offence to their Divinity. The priests, one of whose functions is to interpret the divine signs, are alarmed and enraged at a doctrine which menaces their power.
