Choice Point: Escape the Web? Or Hunt the Spider?
I've hit a wall, I guess you could say. It was a long time coming.
Before I belonged to Avalon I worked for a holistic health expo company. I met psychics and healers and shamans- lots of interesting people.
In the years since, many have been arrested and convicted of various crimes: one, an angel communicator and 'metaphysical doctor' for defrauding her state out of 2.7 million dollars; she used her day job (caring for vulnerable special needs children) to bilk state funds and build herself a mansion.
Another Mohawk 'shaman' was recently revealed not to be Native American, to have fabricated his entire story, and to have defrauded the state of NY out of housing payments. He also swindled folk in Europe out of thousands.
Another went to jail for murder.
Another man, a 'spiritualist' reverend told me at one event that 'he didn't care about any of the people he talked to, and he was just there for the money.
Then he proceeded to say he kept his hair long and wore all his jewellery because women liked it- it brought them in. And then he said, 'most of the women are here because they hate men....I don't care...I take their money.'
He tried to get me involved, thought I'd be great for his scam- a clean-cut young guy; he told me I just needed to lose a bit of weight and work on my 'communication' skills and I could make a ton of money.
Still others were heart-centred serene types in their booths at the show, but behind the scenes were nasty, cutting and as cut-throat as you'd see in any business world setting.
Other of these holistic folk tried to sell me on various miracle-juice pyramid schemes.
Another 'healer' I used to sell advertising for recently left his cancer-ridden wife for a younger woman.
And the ‘metaphysical’ journal I used to write for is now trying to charge 'writers' a fee for the privilege to submit their work to be published.
Now, after many years, I'm pretty disillusioned.
When I look at the themes emerging from alt media and on alt forums, I see shams galore: an alien-agenda insider who constantly threatens people who disagree with his message of 'peace'; fake liberty champions and common law advocates who want to try the queen and the pope in special tribunals that don't exist; then there are the obvious shills pulling for one 'gang' or the other- people paid to write for or against Israel- for or against the Vatican- for or against Ron Paul- Pro Scientology or anti Scientology, pro or anti Russia.
Then there are the people campaigning against child molestation who are using faked confessions of obviously coached kids to do it, thus muddying the waters for legitimate campaigners.
And I ask myself, 'cui bono?'
I've noticed the same stories making the rounds on all alt media channels, nearly simultaneously- posted by people using willowy, airy, light-hearted avatars.
Their words are silky and sweet, but turn cold and hard as steel when any concerns about the veracity of their claims are raised.
It’s all led me to a tentative conclusion: I think alt media is one tool, among many, being used to gin up chaos and break down ‘culture’ to prepare us for a kind of controlled demolition and stage-managed rebirth.
I suspect it's a coordinated movement being brought to us by the same culture-creators that brought us, among other things, 9-11, LSD, and the centrally planned revolution of the 1960's. And with the aid of the Internet, it's happening all over the planet at breakneck speed.
The demolition will be real, even if it's totally scripted and all the key players are actors.
Escaping the mainstream matrix, to the extent I’ve achieved it, was worthwhile; but alt media is another matrix nested within the larger one.
It's a big spider's web that I've been thrashing around in for years. I've found some useful information in the web, but the spider's got a real good read on me at this point, too.
I'm okay with that. I've met some good folk, including many of you.
But I feel like I’m at a choice point. Are efforts best spent on escaping the web?
Or is there spider hunting to be done?
