“I don’t know what to say.” I truly did not. I was in shock. I did not want to believe him, but I also knew that what he said, was true. From what I know about global events, everything is changing just as he had said. The horror was understanding that they intended to kill off most of humanity.
“Isn’t there another way?”, I asked.
“Consumers don’t have the mental capacity to make the decisions necessary to reduce the human population, and heal the planet. If they did, they would have done so. Consumers cannot take care of themselves without our intervention.”
“We have always picked out the special ones, set them aside, and given them special privileges, the artists, inventors, athletes, and celebrities. You are one of the special ones. You would not have been brought here if you were not. Be thankful for what you have.” Again, trying to appeal to my self interest.
I felt like what he was telling me was from some movie, where the super villain will soon be defeated, but I also knew that is not going to happen. These people believed that they own the planet. They are going to wipe out humanity to save themselves and their power over what is left. In his eyes, they had taken over the planet long ago, and everyone else was an expendable burden.
If what he has told me is true, and I have no reason to doubt him, it means that much of humanity has been manipulated for centuries by these people who believe they are better than everyone else.
They won’t stop because people disagree with them. They won’t stop through some new found compassion, because they are incapable of compassion or empathy. They will protect themselves at all costs. Their plan includes pushing the earth to the edge of environmental collapse, so that they can win at their game of civilization.
I feel like my whole life I have been so naive. I have believed what I have been told. Which was a story manufactured by wealthy people and their minions, to lure us into a false sense of reality.
