The person behind the name.

By Alex EstradaPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

“It” does not have a name. “It” is intangible and invisible, yet universal

and something everyone knows, regardless of language or cultural

difference. “It,” is the mirror opposite of Celebrity and if there is a place

called Hell, that would be it. “It” is a worst-nightmare-comes-true for

all affected parties because it is an anomaly that capsizes the balance of

power. The tables turn, the illusionists controlling global affairs become

disadvantaged. Those puppet masters find themselves indebted for a

value that money will never pay off. They become overwhelmed by the

stress and in a panic-stricken attempt motivated by vanity, they tailspin

towards an unavoidable demise. It will be too late when they realize that

every action they implemented to regain the advantage, only dug them a

deeper hole of debt. This time, however, the debt is well within their ability

to afford. Paying it will cost them more than just money. Not only will it

be suicide, but it will jeopardize the livelihood of their future generations;

in settling this debt, they will give open acknowledgment to their secrets.

This cabal faces defeat because nothing in life is free, and every wrong

decision has its consequence.

Nonetheless, their struggle for self-preservation blinds them, and the

collective realizes the end is upon them. The longer they avoid facing

accountability, the worse things become. But these people are not lay

persons ignorant of mystic science; they are Gnostic masters well versed

in secret knowledge. They understand these phenomena better than

anyone else. So much in fact, they structure their entire lives around it,

which consequently seals their fate and potentially the fate of the world

at large. Having this awareness, they become frantic and disoriented as if

they’ve just committed murder without securing a safe way of disposing of

their evidence.

The worst course of actions becomes as logical as digging graves in flower

gardens (so to speak). What materializes is the attempt to dilute the crime

and the easiest avenue in which to do so, is via mainstream and alternative

media. Fifty years ago, this may have worked however in the current age

of the Internet this creates content and as content accumulates, so does

the relevance of the information. Consequently, one’s likeness is seen

throughout the world, and one’s name becomes a household icon. One’s

words become plagiarized. One’s life becomes exploited. Except, one is

helpless and cannot do anything about it because unlike other celebrities,

they did not seek fame. Nor, did they sign a contract to acquire fame

Ultimately, “it” is living in a world that does not want you part of it. All the

while, eagerly jumping over swine just to get on your back. As if the weight

of the world balancing on your shoulders, was not enough, it becomes the

cross for your crucifixion. Meanwhile, the sound of clamor crescendos

towards complete chaos. Slanderous words intended with malice pierce

like daggers.

“Delusional” “Crazy” “Worthless” “Nobody” “Ugly” and asking questions

like “Who does he think he is?” From that whirlwind, a sort of celebrity

begins to take shape. The world population believes you are a fictional

character, and only a select few know otherwise. A group so elite,

membership is reserved for the key figures directly involved in the

conspiracy. Welcome, to my prison; my fate and perhaps my destiny. I

am blacklisted by the Associated Press because multimedia conglomerates

are controlled by profit. Public servants are serving a society controlled by

money, and the result is a legalized form of prostitution wherein the sex is

a filthy free for all. A society driven by greed and criminal acquisition is

without morality, headed for failure. The United States of America is now

past the point of no return.
