I agree, but the problem is that when people eventually start suffocating and they only start waking up then, then it may already be too late to prevent the catastrophe. History proves that.Posted by Observer1964 (here)
ppl have a kind of defense system against everything that treatens their worldview, until something happens that make them realise their worldview is wrong, then they start to see suddenly what they couldnt see before.
So not being able to breathe is something that wakes them up...
For instance, let's look at the natives of South America. They too, at a given point, woke up when the Spanish conquistadors turned out not to be gods but brutal oppressors, but today, practically the whole of South America speaks Spanish and adheres the Roman Catholic belief system. They were overrun by a military force with (for the natives) superior weapons and strategy, and the Catholic priests did the rest.
Another example would be the rise of Nazism in Germany during the 1930s. Some of the Jews, Roma, et al, knew when to leave - e.g. Albert Einstein, who was of liberal Jewish descent - but most of the others never saw it coming, and it ended with six million Jews being tortured, experimented on by Joseph Mengele, rounded up in concentration camps, and eventually exterminated. A similar thing happened in the Soviet Union. Stalin killed even more Jews than Hitler did - approximately seven million, if I'm not mistaken.
Again, Occupy was a neat initiative, but it was laughed away, and apart from a few fringe reporters who kept their nose on the matter, nobody cares about Occupy anymore. Hell, "give us American Idol, the X Factor, and Justin Bieber who was egging his neighbors' houses".
Now, Anonymous, that's another matter, because these guys know that they're operating outside of the law, and they're not letting anyone stop them. Hmm... I wonder whether the Anonymous guys would be able to get done what Gary McKinnon couldn't - this in reference to the re-uploading of Gary McKinnon's interview to YouTube by Kerry Cassidy. Interesting thought, isn't it? :-)
