They are, man. The shilling does go that deep.
I've been spending a lot of time studying human psychology lately, as a means of understanding the psychos that run the world. We've heard several times that TPTB are, literally, psychopaths. Narcissists, sociopaths, beings who live through the paradigm of ego, rather than heart.
When you really start to understand a narcissist, and how wickedly they perceive reality, it makes sense that TPTB tend to be "leaders", child rapists, and satanic occult worshippers. Bear with me, I'll make my point in a second.
Why are they leaders? They have the uncanny ability to manipulate. Within the consciousness of a narcissist is a profound ego. The ego isn't just the bad aspect of the mind, which many people believe. Rather, the ego is the entire mind, itself. The ego is the thought mechanism, or the thing for which thought is thinking. An imprint, if you will, on your conscience, through which your mind makes all of its decisions for 'you'. TPTB are narcissistic, meaning they cannot relate, empathetically, to humanity. They only live for the self. These kinds of people can often find themselves in positions of power because they are such profound liars. To live in a materialistic world and to have a narcissistic ego is almost always going to put that particular person on a greedy, self-centered path. And how to we make money in this world without being naturally gifted in the arts or math or whatever? You have to be able to manipulate.
A narcissist is someone who, for example, has a girlfriend that he wants to have sex with. Yet, his girlfriend isn't in the mood. Rather than thinking, "Oh, that's cool. No big deal. Maybe another night," a narcissist would likely pretend that he is totally cool with being not given what he wants. Yet, on the inside, he is fuming. He might, then, choose a TV show for them to watch that has a bunch of sexual themes in it, so as to turn her on. Or, he'll make subtle sexual jokes as a means of just getting 'sex' on her mind. He'll suggest that they give each other massages and subtly let his hands go to the more sensitive parts of her body. And if she catches onto his intent, he will be triggered and insist that she is losing her mind. I only know this so intimately because one of my own parents was a full-blown narcissist.
These people are also participating, incessantly, in manipulative thoughts. We can think of thoughts as electric impulses, either positive or negative. So, if you spend an entire life as the manifestation of manipulation, you are spending an awful lot of time in the 'dark' thought spectrum. Consequently, it makes sense to me that such people develop the most wicked obsessions, like pedophilia. Pedophilia is a turn on for pedophiles because, deep deep deep down, they are getting off to the concept of raping innocence. That's why it's so fucking mind blowing that society is slowly embracing the idea of normalizing pedophilia. There is no more wicked crime. It's demonic.
Which leads me to why these mf'ers must participate in demonic occult activity. 'The Devil' might not exist, but the manifestations of negative energy certainly do. And because these sickos have chosen the dark path, consciously or not, they are drawn to the ultimate forms of evil. Some people can awaken out of narcissism by realizing that, their entire lives, they have put all their energy into participating in negativity and participating in 'the self', rather than other. Most narcissists aren't even conscious of their wickedness, like my own parent, because it is so authentically who they are.
But, the reason I write this all, is really just to open peoples' eyes to the fact that, because TPTB are narcissists and psychopaths, they are hugely clever. They know how to manipulate. They understand human body language and what humans are likely thinking based on how they look or move. They know what we love. They know what we hate. They know how we think. They know what we probably will think. And because of that ability, they feed us somewhat convincing theories -- not saying Flat Earth is convincing to the common intellectual, but it seems plenty of people have bought in hardcore -- that they know will spread like wildfire as a means of putting us off the path of truth.
