Conspiracy

June , 22nd , 2150 (51 AG)

This will be my final entry.

‘THEY’ are close now and I don’t have much time. Yet I must record this information, it must survive me. It is too important to let die with the rest of the truth.

If you are reading this please know that I chose to reveal this not as my epitaph or the final ramblings of a doomed man, but as a record of what I have learned. What ‘THEY’ don’t want you to know. Attached is a dated list of my findings, a journal of my experience which I’ve encrypted to keep safe. But the choice is yours. Once you walk this path you cannot un-walk it. What is seen cannot be unseen.

If I could go back, sometimes I wonder if I would. What is the old axiom? Ignorance is bliss?

Even now I hold the last reminder of the terrible cost I paid for this information. A heart shaped locket, the last token of affection taken from the body of the lover who paid the price for my curiosity, the person whom ‘THEY’ killed in my place attempting to silence me and stifle the truth. The cool metal of its charred surface often keeping me focused on the reasons for my investigation.

The world as we know it is not what we have been made to believe.

The Golden Era of equality is a lie. The marginalized simply exist in a different form. ‘THEY’ are simply shifting the focus to manipulate the uneducated and benefit on the backs of the disadvantaged. The founding of Utopia wasn’t the end of oppression, simply a metamorphosis.

Corporate Rule and the Laws of Merit are an elaborate system of lies, an invisible web of consent binding us into a slow death of comfort at the cost of our freedoms. ‘THEY’ are just setting agreed upon rules that they manipulate behind the scenes. Using a universally agreed upon measure of performance to rig the game in their favor, and we are the pieces on the board.

The Fall of Government and the United Earth Council was orchestrated in a Machiavellian display of social engineering and manipulation. ‘THEY’ removed the only other authority that was a hindrance by exploiting our desire for individualism and a false sense of independence. ‘THEY’ used the chaos of individual expression to divide us rather than unite us.

Look at the world around you!

Not your comfortable housing or automated robotics. Not your universal income or Cyber Virtual Entertainment. Not the privileges, afforded you by the people who benefit from your docility.

Look at the people. Look at your community. Look at your life.

When you wake from your scheduled REM sleep, what are your first thoughts? Are they on your joy at the wonders of life, or are they on The Work? Do you value your life, or what ‘THEY’ tell you that your life’s worth?

When was the last time you left your home? Went for a walk? Talked to a friend on anything but the Cyber? What world do you live in? When you want to know something do you ask someone for advice or go to the Cyber? When ‘THEY’ control the information you see, do you live in reality, or ‘THEY’RE’ reality? What is free thought when the only free information provided is profitable for someone else?

When is the last time you last felt joy? Was it your last scheduled hit of the pharmaceutical cocktail covered by your ‘free universal healthcare’? Who would question a free pill that brings happiness? Or the legalized recreational drugs The Syndicate provides in your off hours? What are you putting into your body to meet the standards set by those same people providing the rewards? You’re racing on a track they designed, following the lines they set. Are you getting the Carrot? Or the Stick?

We have sold our freedoms for false liberties, we traded life for luxury, we surrendered our discernment for peace of mind. And we did it willingly.

It was the greatest con ever played, and we all fell for it.

Don’t believe me, prove it to yourself. Look at your life up until this point and take a moment to question what you want and why you want it! If you can’t identify the source of your wants, then where did they really come from? If you don’t know why you wanted it in the first place then who really wants it? Did they provide you something or lure you with it? Did you earn your heart’s desire, or buy into a gilded cage?

‘THEY’ will tell you this is conspiracy.

‘THEY’ will tell you that I’m insane because I’m not taking my medications like everyone else.

‘THEY’ will change information to fit the narrative provided. Propagate the convenient truth fitting the universal lie.

But it is you who will decide. ‘THEY’ still haven’t taken that power from you.

The world as we know it is not what we have been made to believe.

I know because I’ve seen it. I have been to the hospitals. I have seen the rehabilitation centers. I have gone to the Proletariat work camps where refugees are assessed for The Work. I have spent time in confinement hubs policed by independent security companies designed to house those who cannot operate inside the laws laid down by ‘THEM’. I have lived with the marginalized, and watched them suffer for not being compatible with the world that the rest of us agreed upon. I have experienced life on the other side of popular opinion.

These are the things ‘THEY’ don’t tell you. These are the things we don’t want to see. But the truth is that it exists whether we know about it or ignore it. No amount of good feelings or well wishes can make these truths false. No amount of drugs can make this less painful, only survivable. We are alive, but it’s not livable.

I’m not trying to sell you a new way of life. I don’t need you to believe me, because your belief will change nothing. What I am sharing doesn’t have a price for membership, because you already paid. We all did. We all are. Every day, and with everything we have. You don’t owe me anything and I won’t ask you for something. But you might owe it to yourself.

We all invested in the culture we live in today. We all bought into this life and we got what was promised. But did we all get what we needed? Is this really what we wanted? What returns are you seeing in the investment of your life?

I wouldn’t wish my life on anyone, but I am living it. I didn’t ask for this but it is real.

The logs encrypted herein will change everything. The truth often does. But it doesn’t affect your choice. That will always be yours.

I’m not asking you to choose me or ‘THEM’. I’m not even asking you to choose ‘THEM’ or you.

I’m just asking you to choose. I’m asking you to look at all the facts and make your own decision. I’m just trying to give you a chance to realize your own agency. I want to allow you to take part in your own life, and the society you are part of, because if you don’t then ‘THEY’ will make the decision for you.

If we let ‘THEM’ choose, then ‘WE’ are the ones to blame.
