To understand the world, watch "Deadwood"
I just finished watching the first season of the HBO series "Deadwood": Plot Synopsis: The town of Deadwood, South Dakota in the weeks following the Custer massacre is a lawless sinkhole of crime and corruption. Into this uncivilized outpost ride a disillusioned and bitter ex-lawman, Wild Bill Hickok, and Seth Bullock, a man hoping to find a new start for himself. Both men find themselves quickly on opposite sides of the legal and moral fence from Al Swearengen, saloon owner, hotel operator, and incipient boss of Deadwood. The lives of these three intertwine with many others, the high-minded and the low-lifes who populate Deadwood in 1876.

[link to www.amazon.com]

"Deadwood" is the story of how governments get started and how power works. The truth is that organized crime rules from the beginning in any "society." The reason is simple: if it wasn't for organized crime, "society" couldn't exist! Everyone in the town of Deadwood answers to characters like that are like mafia godfathers, if it wasn't for them, the whole system would fall apart. Unfortunately, that's reality. If it wasn't for organized crime gangs that answer to mafia godfathers, every society would fall apart simply because of nature and of the scum we call humanity.

It's more than just sick human behavior on display with "Deadwood." It's the explanation of how things come to be with a government, like why the "mayor", the "sheriff" and every other person of importance take orders from the town's top crime boss, he is their boss. For example, after giving the job of sheriff to a new guy, the top crime boss basically tells him to ignore fresh blood on the floor of his office that was there from a murder that had happened minutes before the new sheriff took his new position. The sheriff simply walks past the blood and ignores it.

This explains why the illuminati's corruption will never be exposed or brought to justice. The illuminati elite give the congress their orders, they give the president his orders, they give the supreme court their orders, right down the line... The illuminati elite are the mafia godfather figures who run everything behind the scenes and if they tell somebody to ignore the fresh blood on the floor, it's ignored (metaphorically speaking). Again, this the realization that society can't exist without having organized crime at the top (and "Deadwood" portrays that perfectly, imho).

Expose the illuminati and their power vaporizes.

This process is in play now.

You are either for them
(condone, turn a blind eye, cower in fear & submission)
or
you are against them
(educate yourself and your friends, reclaim your personal responsibilty & destiny).

If we didn't have the big bad bullies, I think we'd all get along just fine. Unfortunately, the bullies are sometimes disguised in sheep's clothing or people will only listen to the loudest voice out of fear of persecution.

Kurt Russel's movie Deadwood is very good too.

I guess that the fact that Deadwood is highly fictionalized is lost upon you?

Same thing with "The DaVinci Code", it's a work of fiction but then some people talk about it like it's all fact.

Ever watch that tv show, House M.D.? I'll bet the whole point of reading fiction isn't lost on him...

The head of any government is the God Father of that society. The Mob with the most guns wins. How many guns does Uncle Sam have?

Those that have the stomach for the wet work reap the reward.

The rest pick at the crumbs.
