-Gestural statement by J. Maxwell, from his work “Matrix of Power”. This provocative quote is provided to challenge the<br />
common viewer’s sense of normality.<br />
(71) “We’re in a lot of trouble! Because you people, and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because<br />
less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is<br />
what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole and entire generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out<br />
of this tube! This tube is the Gospel. The ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers.<br />
This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the<br />
wrong people!”<br />
“And when the largest company in the world controls the most awesome, goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless<br />
world who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network! So you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the<br />
truth. Television’s a goddamned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troop of acrobats, storytellers,<br />
dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers and football players. We’re in the boredom-killing business.”<br />
“But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We’re all you know. You’re beginning to believe<br />
the illusions we’re spinning here. You’re beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You<br />
do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even<br />
think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God’s name, you people are the real thing! We are the illusion!”<br />
From the movie NETWORK, 1976.<br />
(72) The last thing the power establishment wants is a conscience, informed public capable of critical thinking.<br />
This is why a continually fraudulent zeitgeist is output via religion, the mass media and the educational system. It<br />
is their interest to keep you in distracted, naive bubble. And they are doing a damn good job of it.<br />
-Gestural conclusion, reflecting the self-serving nature of the system we live in. History shows that collective human betterment<br />
is a detriment to the segregated power elite.<br />

(74) “I got a call one day from an attorney woman I knew and she said, “Would you like to meet one of the Rockefellers?” I<br />
said, “Sure, I’d love to.” And we became friends. And he began to devulge a lot of things to me.”<br />
So he said to me one night- he said: “There’s gonna be an event, Aaron. And out of that event you’re gonna see we are going<br />
to go into Afghanistan so we can run the pipelines from the Caspian Sea, we are going to go into Iraq to take the oil and<br />
establish a base in the Middle-East, and we are going to go into Venezuela and try to get rid off Chavez.” And the first two<br />
they’ve accomplished, Chavez they didn’t accomplish. And he said ‘ you’re gonna see guys going into caves, looking for<br />
people that they’re never gonna find’. You know, he’s laughing about the fact that you have this war on terror and there’s no<br />
real enemy. He’s talking about how by ‘having this war on terror you can never win it ‘cause it’s an eternal war, so you can<br />
always keep taking people’s liberties away’. I said, “How are you gonna convinced people that this war is real?” He said, “By<br />
the media. The media can convince everybody it’s real. You know, it’s just that you keep talking about things, you keep saying<br />
it over and over and over again and eventually people believe it.” You know you created Federal Reserve in 1913 through lies,<br />
you created 9/11 which is another lie, through 9/11 then you’re fighting a war on terror and now all the sudden you go into Iraq<br />
which was another lie... and now they’re gonna do Iran. And it’s all one thing leading to another, leading to another, leading<br />
to another. And I would say to him, “what are you doing this for? What’s the point of this thing? You have all the money in the<br />
world you’d ever want, you have all the power.” I said, “You know, you’re hurting people, it’s not a good thing.”<br />
And he would say, “What do you care about the people for? Take care of yourself, and take care of your family.”<br />
And then I said to him, “What are the ultimate goals here?”<br />
He said, “The ultimate goal is to get everybody in this world chipped with an RFID chip.” And to have all the money to be on<br />
those chips, and everything on those chips. And if anybody wants to protest what we do or violate what we want, we just turn<br />
off their chip.”<br />
