A World Governed By Psychopaths

On the cover of David Icke's latest book, The David Icke Guide To The Global Conspiracy, Icke prints a quote from John Lennon where Lennon noted that he believed the world is ruled by insane people for insane agendas and what's most insane is that he could be put away in a mental institution for publicly speaking out. Sadly, Lennon was instead assassinated after beginning to speak out.

The US government now continues its descent into fascism with laws claiming to prevent violent radicalism and domestic terrorism being thinly veiled schemes to justify tyrannical oppression of dissent against the criminal and inhuman action of the government. Only a handful of congressmen have stood up against such measures... and the 2 who did that are running for president - Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich - continue to be marginalized by the criminal elite owned mass media.

There is much for us to learn from these circumstances. The general public can learn to be more responsible about who they choose or allow to have power over their lives. Those in power can learn how destructive their efforts to expand their own control will be. This also can help us see the potentials for tyrannical behavior within each of us. It has been observed that in a society dominated by psychopaths the people tend to become increasingly sociopathic as a survival mechanism. We tend to adapt to our social environment, and our own desire for success in society will often lead us toward unethical behaviors if society rewards those behaviors. If society is to overcome the insanity of the ruling class it must first overcome naivety about the dark nature of those in control. People who have mainly benevolent motives and intentions have to recognize that there are other people who have very depraved or greed-based intentions. By facing that reality, people can stop enabling their oppressors and take action to reclaim their power.
