It's sad to say with such finality, but a universal fact of existence is that most of the people you meet in this life are fundamentally and functionally ignorant. Not necessarily stupid, but certainly ignorant. Ignorance comes not from a lack of intelligence, but from a denial of knowledge and truth. That is to say, ignorance takes hold when people decide to act as though they know and understand a thing, even if they do not. Ignorance prevails when a society or nation chooses to value the appearance of expertise, to value the theater of overconfidence, and to cheer for the bluster of morons rather than admit that they have unanswered questions on subjects they do not yet grasp. For nothing is worse for the self absorbed than to acknowledge that they do not know.
Entire nations have fallen throughout history because of this terrible weakness...
By extension, such ignorance is not just an inherent disease but also an easily exploitable disease. When we refuse to think critically and examine our surroundings thoroughly, we become like grazing gazelles oblivious to the predators encircling us in the tall grass. And, just as there are predatory individuals that hide amongst us, there are are also predatory oligarchs that camouflage themselves as benevolent politicos and financial professionals standing above us. Normal predators we fear, establishment predators we invite into our homes as protectors, saviors, and partners.
The disease of ignorance leaves us vulnerable to many other plagues, including literal plagues like the Ebola virus. When we take the establishment at its word concerning the threat of Ebola outbreak, we make ourselves vulnerable. When people assume that the worst could never happen to them, history shows us that it inevitably does.
The recent discovery of an Ebola infected patient in Dallas, Texas has led to reasonable concern from the general population, but mainstream media efforts along with CDC and White House spin have subdued any practical response by the citizenry. The constant droning voice of the establishment claims there is nothing to be worried about; that even if there was an outbreak in the U.S., it would be quickly squashed by highly prepared medical response teams.
First and foremost, the existence of just one Ebola infected person within America's borders indicates a likelihood of others, or the possibility of others in the near future unless policies and procedures are changed. As far as I can tell, the government has no intention of introducing rational fail-safes such as requiring mandatory quarantine for those seeking to reenter the U.S. from known outbreak regions, shutting down unrestricted travel into the country from countries with Ebola, training hospitals properly in the identification of the disease, or committing mass resources to quelling Ebola in hot zones before it reaches our shores, at least not in time to make a difference.
Secondly, the establishment also has no intention of giving the general public accurate information as to the behavior and dangers of Ebola. Those I have spoken with in the medical field including some who work within major city hospitals have related to me that the CDC has not been honest in its assessment of the probability of outbreak. For example, the CDC is consistently reminding the public that Ebola is not an “airborn” disease, and this is technically true as far as the science indicates. However, they forget to mention that it is indeed a “droplet born” disease, meaning, it can travel through the air carried in an infected cough or sneeze. The tight quarters of an airplane make for a perfect petri dish, with droplets and particulates passing back and forth through the same space and oxygen for hours at a time. The spread of Ebola is nowhere near as containable as the CDC claims.
I have been told that most hospitals are completely unprepared to fend off an outbreak of a virus as destructive as Ebola. Little to no standardized training has taken place, and some facilities are only now putting together a list of emergency procedures. Human error within the chain of care also occurs often, as we saw in Dallas, Texas, and these errors can lead to greater infection in a hospital environment.
CDC and WHO efforts in countries like Liberia have been so ineffective and halfhearted it leads one to question why their budgets are in the billions of dollars? Where is all their capital and their resources going if not to bring an unprecedented hammer down on a clearly dangerous outbreak of Ebola? Why is the virus being allowed to flourish rather than being destroyed right where it started? Where has the full force of the CDC been for the past several months while death gestates in Africa?
The one legitimate function of government, any government, is to protect the right of the people to pursue their own life, liberty, and happiness. I think stopping the invasion of mortal viruses would fall into this category. The one job our government is MANDATED to do, and it refuses to do it. Why?
I have made the point many times in the past and I'll make it here again; when a catastrophe takes place, or a crisis is imminent, ask yourself, who ultimately benefits? I believe that the lack of strong prevention response from our government, an inadequacy which is obvious to all of the health care workers I have talked with and to anyone who has the sense to do their own research, could be absolutely deliberate. I believe the spread of Ebola may be desired by certain power brokers, and here is why:
The Perfect Cover Event
I have been warning for quite some time that the banking establishment in particular is well aware that an economic collapse of incredible proportions is coming. In fact, they have done everything in their power to make one possible. This collapse, according to my research, is designed to clear the way through monetary carpet bombing for a new international Bretton Woods-style agreement which will plant the foundation of a truly global economic system centralized and controlled by a highly select few elites. Needless to say, the internationalists would prefer not to take the blame for such a calamity.
Regional or widespread war, terrorism, cyber attacks, etc, are all useful vehicles to conjure mass confusion, and can also be used as scapegoats for the eventual downfall of our economy. That said, a viral pandemic truly surpasses them all in effectiveness. All other tragedies could easily be tied to the first “domino” or “linchpin” (as Rand Corporation calls it) of Ebola transmission, but the strategy goes deeper than this...
An Act Of Nature
Even though most people are well aware of the fact that governments have been engineering biological weapons for decades, few people think political leadership would ever use them at all, let alone use them on the people they are tasked to protect. Even with the complacency and inaction of our government in terms of the response to Ebola, the general assumption by most of the American population will be that any viral outbreak is a product of nature, not of men.
Acts of nature are not things that the common man can easily rebel against. People rebel against governments and corrupt despots all the time, but not the plague. If a viral pandemic strikes, nearly everything a government does after the fact, no matter how corrupt or destructive, can be rationalized as necessary for the greater good of the greater number. If anyone does rebel, they will be labeled as pure evil, for they are now disrupting the government's ability to stop the pandemic from spreading, and thus, are partly responsible for the mass deaths that follow.
During a viral outbreak, government becomes mother, father, nurse and protector. No matter how abusive they are, most people will still look to them for safety and guidance, primarily because they have no knowledge of disease. What they do not understand, they will fear, and fear always drives the ignorant into the arms of tyrants. One should also take into consideration the fact that most globalists lean towards the ideology of eugenics and promote the concept of population reduction. A pandemic would fulfill this desire nicely...
Rationalized Economic Collapse
Who would question the event of an economic collapse in the wake of an Ebola soaked nightmare? Who would want to buy or sell? Who would want to come in contact with strangers to generate a transaction? Who would even leave their house? Ebola treatment in first world nations has advantages of finance and a cleaner overall health environment, but what if economic downturn happens simultaneously? America could experience third world status very quickly, and with it, all the unsanitary conditions that result in an exponential Ebola death rate.
The treasury, labor department, and private Federal Reserve have gone to vast lengths to skew statistics and rig markets with trillions in fiat dollars. Despite historic numbers of Americans falling off unemployment rolls, imploding shipping and manufacturing statistics, and the U.S. teetering on the edge of global “de-dollarization”, a large portion of the citizenry has been led to believe that economic recovery is assured. What they do not understand is that fiscal implosion is unavoidable, and the whole bull market is a circus designed to distract.
Amidst even a moderate or controlled viral scenario, stocks and bonds will undoubtedly crash, a crash that was going to happen anyway. The international banks who created the mess get off blameless, while Ebola, an act of nature, becomes the ultimate scapegoat for every disaster that follows.
Rationalized Travel Restrictions
If you want to lock down the movement of a population to prevent the spread of dissenting groups or ideas, I can't think of a better way than to claim it is to prevent the spread of a deadly virus. Our government and world health officials are approaching Ebola with an attitude of nonchalance right now, because prevention is NOT part of the plan. When Ebola strikes hard within our country, that is when they will finally decide that strict measures are needed. Suddenly, those borders that they could never secure before will become impassable for you and I. And traveling between states or perhaps even counties may be extraordinarily difficult. “Papers please...” will become the new mantra of petty authority.
Forced Health Measures
Do not be surprised if an Ebola vaccine of some kind suddenly appears on the market just as the situation begins to turn tragic. And, do not be surprised if said vaccine is a total sham that ends up making more people sick. Expect that forced vaccinations will take place, especially as a prerequisite for receiving treatment from CDC or FEMA hazmat facilities. Expect that these facilities will become nothing more than obscure prisons for the sick where people quietly die. Expect that every American will be required to be tested and screened, with biometric data carefully stored, beginning with airport travel (once the virus is already entrenched). The options are endless for abuse in terms of totalitarian health laws when the public thinks they could end up bleeding from every orifice and dying of liver failure.
Rationalized Martial Law
Imagine if some Americans decide they don't like being poked, prodded, tagged and bagged by the establishment. Imagine they decide to fight back, Ebola be damned. An already uphill battle becomes an epic struggle when a large percentage of the population thinks you are a monster that wants to hasten the spread of Ebola. Not that the ignorant count for much in the grand scheme of history, but waking at least some of them up in the future to the bigger threat (the globalists) is hard to do when all they can see is devilish microbes. Those who plan to combat the rise of the internationalists, as I plan to, should accept now the likelihood that the only people we will have on our side tomorrow are the people we have been able to wake up today. Martial law will be welcomed by the rest.
International Response
An international response is almost guaranteed during a major pandemic. Sovereignty will be tossed in the dirt. UN and WHO teams and perhaps even troops could accompany an aid package to the U.S. Think of the glorious propaganda, as globalists tell stories of how they “saved humanity” by surpassing the barbaric practices of national and individual sovereignty, defeated the Ebola virus (after millions of deaths, of course), and out of the ashes, the “phoenix” of global governance was born. If they succeed, imagine what the history books will say for the next several centuries.
What Do We Do?
There are no silver bullet solutions. There never have been and there never will be. People looking for them will be sorely disappointed and ill prepared after wasting so much time searching for an easy out. The only answer is for communities of people to take their own survival into their own hands and become as self sufficient as possible. This means that neighborhoods, towns, and counties will have to take precautions now to steel themselves for a pandemic event, instead of simply sitting on their hands and expecting government officials to save them.
The treatments for Ebola in most cases involve nothing more than the steady replacement of vital fluids, electrolytes and plasma until the patient's body can build up an immunity to the virus. Those with stronger immune systems before contraction are more likely to survive and beat back the disease. Government care, for the most part, is NOT going to save many people either way. That is to say, your survival will depend on you and your immune system, not them. Communities that make efforts to prevent contact and that strengthen individual immunity will have a better chance of survival than going into any government run hazmat facility. Government is not needed, and will often end up being more of a threat than the virus itself. Groups I work closely with and talk with, many with their own doctors and nurses, are already setting prevention guidelines in motion.
If you can prove you don't need the system to save you, their rationale for attempting to control you is weakened. The ignorant will still try to demonize us for our efforts, but self sufficiency is all we have in the face of this kind of storm. If we can lead by example with our own successful health standards while saving people where the establishment could not, perhaps we can turn the tide.

The world's economy is based on exponential debt and growth that must never stop or else it destroys the means to pay back the original and future debt.
As Ross Perot warned the US back in '92 about NAFTA and the giant sucking sound. He was laughed at and look now how all those US jobs have been off shored. We are seeing the result of a shit economy while the elite set themselves up for cushy jobs and future wealth at the expense of everyone else.
There are over 7 billion people on this planet and it is placing HUGE f*cking demands on the entire global networked infrastructure. With no jobs and no future people around the world are becoming pissed. The Arab Spring, riots in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, Brazil, Venezuela and in other places around the world have been about people saying. "Oh shit how am I going to feed myself and my family without a decent job"?
The globalists are seeing that and they also realize 7 billion plus hurts their balance sheet. They can do with 95% fewer of us.
That's why I see this Ebola outbreak and the hopes it spreads and not to contain it. Pandemics and black deaths is a means to the end. I'm glad I beleive in a higher power because payback is a bitch. ;)

Excellent article.
A Liberian doctors has treated 15 Ebola patients. Two died that started treatment 5 or more days after onset of symptoms. The other 13 that survived commenced medication 4 or less days from onset of symptoms. They have been treated with Lamivudine a HIV medication.
This is 87 percent cure for all the patients. For patients that got treatment 4 days or earlier he has 100 percent cure rate. For this last result to have happened by chance has a probability under one in a million if the untreated mortality is 67 % (0.33^13 = 0.00000055). Lamivudine is an inhibitor which blocks a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme only exists in so called retroviruses. In Wikipedia Ebola is not listed as a retrovirus – HIV is. So this new Ebola virus has a 10 times longer incubation time (making it more likely to spread instead of burning out) and totally new metabolism compared to earlier versions. It is hard to believe that this total transformation of the new strain of Ebola has happened spontaneously in the wild.
The CNN reporter that reported on the successful treatment, Elizabeth Cohen, is now back in the US. She has reported on the lack of screening on her arrival at Atlanta Airport. Is she back because CNN did not want more reports on the successful treatment.
The world’s humanity is on the precipice of a catastrophe. Why is this treatment not getting more attention and active support?

When they "imported" the virus with the first sick missionary doctor, that act alone indicates that this outbreak is being used to test the system of containment, and the quality of the virus.
They are doing reconnaissance on this project.
After the midterms, (and a nice correction in the stk mkt), this problem will return to being a west african problem.
And, Brandon is correct, there will be a vaccine, and due to Obama Care, you will have to get the shot, or have a permanent mark on your medical records, that indicates you do not comply, or, don't agree with the govt. point of view.
The Obama care is not what you think it is.

@Philip
You are welcome to "believe" whatever your foolish heart desires. Reality is a difficult thing to make peace with but it is undeniable all the same. Here are some direct quotes from globalists; decide for yourself whether their intentions are good or "evil":
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups."
Carroll Quigley, CFR member and mentor to Bill Clinton
"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."
Prince Phillip of England, Reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA), August, 1988
"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."
Zbigniew Brezinski, Between Two Ages, America's Role in the Technotronic Era 1970
"Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."
Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society (1953) pgs. 49-50
"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible."

Audubon magazine, interview with Ted Turner, 1996
"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands."
Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June 1931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen.
"The New World Order under the UN will reduce everything to one common denominator. The system will be made up of a single currency, single centrally financed government, single tax system, single language, single political system, single world court of justice, single state religion...Each person will have a registered number, without which he will not be allowed to buy or sell; and there will be one universal world church. Anyone who refuses to take part in the universal system will have no right to exist."
Assessment of the New World by Dr. Kurk E. Koch
"The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government."
Harpers, July 1958
"The ethical system which will dominate the world state will be shaped primarily to favor beautiful and strong bodies, clear and powerful minds, and to check the procreation of base and servile types. The new ethics will hold life to be a privilege and a responsibility, and the alternative in right conduct between living fully, beautifully, and efficiently will be to die. The men of the New Republic will have little pity and less benevolence. They will hold that a certain portion of the population exist s only on sufferance and on the understanding that they do not propagate, and I do not foresee any reason to suppose that they will not hesitate to kill when that sufferance is abused. The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish ether in facing or inflicting death. They will have an ideal that will make killing worth the while. They will have the faith to kill. If deterrent punishments are used at all in the code of the future the deterrent will be good scientifically-caused pain."

@ Brandon Smith,
You forgot an excellent quote from a self confessed globalist:
"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

More people will die from the flu in just the United States, this year, than all the people that have contracted the ebola virus since it has been discovered. While the thought of bleeding orifices is quite scary, I have done nothing additional for ebola that I wouldn't do for a flu pandemic. Al least 30 days water and food stocked. N-100 masks. A handful of Tychem suits. And I wash my hands every chance I get.
I agree with 90% of what you writer Brandon, but I think this is a smokescreen. My guess is either additional QE or additional legislation to attempt to remove our rights. The stock market is already trending down. Icahn, and Co, are very vocal these days again.
When you break down the numbers behind ebola, they simply don't add up to this much news coverage. That tells me there is more at play.

Beware where this analysis, this perspective; is bound to lead Mr Smith.
The globalists all started from a point near this perspective.
I'm not saying that you are wrong, it's rather like saying 'most people are not attractive, in fact they are ugly'.
I am saying, 'horses for courses' as we say in Britain (we don't have artificial oval racecourses).

That would be somewhat akin to a world of self-aware politically educated thinkers.

Awareness is not a genetic imperative, it is a spiritual one, and ignorance is self destructive, there is no inherent value or "beauty" to it.
Globalists PREFER that people remain ignorant, John. Their ideology is diametrically opposed to mine. Recognizing that people have weaknesses is not the same as exploiting those weaknesses. If I thought awake and aware people were somehow "superior" to others, then I wouldn't be here trying to convince anyone of anything.
Your concerns are a bit outlandish, to say the least. You should be less worried about my path and far more worried about your own.

The flu does not have as high a death percentage to those who catch it as Ebola, which is the real danger. Plenty of people die from car crashes and cancer too, but catching ebola has a certain finality to it that is far more frightening to people than most other illnesses and accidents.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with this latest outbreak. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that Americans will not be stricken with the disease on a larger scale. In fact, ebola provides a better cover for other crises if it becomes more widespread.

High doses of vitamin C will completely stop oxidative damage from an infection. No rotten insides, no hemmorhaging.
http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/ebola.htm
Personally, I used liposomal C to treat my family for whooping cough this summer. All symptoms abated within 48 hours. Symptoms would come back whenever I let up on the vitamin C. In the case of pertussis (Ebola should be similar), you have zero symptoms while your immune system takes its time (90 days) to clear the infection. After the infection is gone, there are no lingering symptoms because there was no damage whatsoever to the tissues.

Hello again Mr Smith.
'If I misunderstood I apologize but it seems to me that you were making a linked comparison between my view on ignorance and elitism in general.'
Thanks for the response.
Now....what WAS my point....?
First, I do not think that you are an elitist.
I do not suspect that you imagine yourself to be superior to others.
'If I thought awake and aware people were somehow "superior" to others, then I wouldn't be here...'
Fair enough.
However, I think we disagree on the function of 'ignorance' in society.
'.....a linked comparison between my view on ignorance and elitism in general.'
Your above point is succinct and fair. Let's return to the 'original text'.
'Not necessarily stupid, but certainly ignorant. Ignorance comes not from a lack of intelligence, but from a denial of knowledge and truth.'
Or from mortal or spiritual fear. From greed or malice or many other things; loyalty to an ideal or a creed for example. All these things can produce a state of willful ignorance. We are not witnessing a failure of analytical capacity but instead a failure of moral character on the part of the 'ignorant'.
They are not 'inferior' they are 'screwing up'.
It can happen to the best of us.
[We probably both know people who have vaccinated their beloved children without the slightest 'due diligence' as to what was in the vaccine. I guess we would never do that (?) but our friends and families have.
Imagine the spiritual TERROR they feel when their negligence is revealed to them.
Refusing to read the e-mails I send my friends & family about this topic is not 'ignorance' on their part; though it is willful. They are not ignorant they are human and they are afraid. No amount of information will 'enlighten' them.]
'That is to say, ignorance takes hold when people decide to act as though they know and understand a thing, even if they do not.'
Guilty.
Who 'knows and understands' how their fingers react to the mind's/brain's instructions when typing out messages on blogs?
I haven't got a clue (in truth) how my fingers operate. Still, I proceed as though it's second nature; it is actually first nature.
Human beings specialise. We've built our worlds that way. I suggest the accusation of 'willful ignorance' will ultimately play into the elites hands.
This is especially so in the public sphere because even the most ignorant will deny that vice, unlike say the 'greedy' (I deserve it) or the 'parasites' (I deserve it) or the viscous (you deserved it) or the craven (I don't deserve it).
'We' will alienate more 'sheeple'/people than we 'wake up'. 'We' will give them excuses to remain 'ignorant'.
That's my experience thus far, though it is complex & hard to 'flesh out' via this medium.
Only once in my life has someone said to me;'Wow! That's really interesting. Crikey, I've been a bit of an idiot....I won't make that mistake again', when I've given them some scary information.
The rest of the time they tend to chuckle...it's a common response.
'Ignorance prevails when a society or nation chooses to value the appearance of expertise,......'
Agreed.
Problem is I cannot cite one historical example of any society that ever did anything else.
'....to value the theater of overconfidence,...'
Ditto
'....and to cheer for the bluster of morons....'
Some serious societies (especially seafaring and frontier) have consistently avoided this charge.
'....rather than admit that they have unanswered questions on subjects they do not yet grasp.'
Agreed.
'For nothing is worse for the self absorbed than to acknowledge that they do not know.'
Here I entirely agree with you without qualification.
(The blight of television, for example; has turned society into millions of atomised 'experts' and voyeurs. Television is thus functionally evil. )
So, in a technologically and socio-culturally 'mature' post industrial society, are we looking at 'ignorance' as you define it above?
Sometimes 'yes' and it may prove lethal.
However, is there not an inevitable intellectual and cultural 'background noise' generated by so much data and ever sophisticated specialisation?
If that is so then cowards are given the chance to hide behind their 'busy lives'. I agree that they choose 'not to know' but they are spiritual cowards who have made their choice. A shame, but there we are.
I would contend that the 'elite ethos' also starts off by assuming people 'don't understand'. Then it realises that many 'would prefer not to know'. Finally, 'the elite ethos' or the 'elite spirit' becomes a self aware alternative conscience and thus obliterates individual humanity when it is accepted.

In my opinion this man is making a moral choice. It is not ignorance.
They are not actually ignorant as such. Instead they know full well that........
['By extension,]
...such ignorance is....
[not just an inherent disease but also]
'...an easily exploitable disease.'
'When we refuse to think critically and examine our surroundings thoroughly,'
We start to attack those who do....
'we become like grazing gazelles oblivious to the predators encircling us in the tall grass.'
It's worse. We start to 'attack' those who are warning of danger.
'And, just as there are predatory individuals that hide amongst us, there are are also predatory oligarchs that camouflage themselves as benevolent politicos and financial professionals standing above us.'
Who desperately need the cowardice of those who have submitted to them. They need the submissive herd to trample on any rebels; claiming 'ignorance' or 'loyalty to order'.
How many 'ordinary people' REALLY HONESTLY believe that the major banks give a damn about their financial security?
How many 'ordinary people' REALLY HONESTLY believe that Obama wanted to bomb Syria to bring democracy & prosperity to the Syrians?
'Normal predators we fear, establishment predators we invite into our homes as protectors, saviors, and partners.'
And 'we' join with them in their dark work, all the time pretending to believe the official line.
'Entire nations have fallen throughout history because of this terrible weakness...'
I would argue these weaknesses are intrinsic to the human condition. I would argue that every mature society anywhere at any time creates the 'background noise' necessary for elites to predate.
Usually, this predation simply does not happen. Usually, things tick along without much incidence.
However, sometimes the People decide to wrap themselves in 'ignorance' (or patriotism, or cultural superiority or whatever) and evil elites are energised and become all powerful.
This is a matter of choice.
'Ignorance' is convenient mechanism for this moral choice,the 'mind' follows the 'spirit' by rationalising a decision already made.
The most predatory elites might share this perspective;
'People set us down as the enemies of the spirit.We are. But in a much deeper sense than the conceited bourgeois dolts ever dreamed of...........
I am liberating man from the demands of spiritual freedom and personal independence which only a few people can bear.'
'Extracts from Hitler's talks with his Gauleiters'
The Spear of Destiny Pg 183
I say each and every one of us must always bear the full weight of moral awareness.
I suggest even willful 'ignorance' is letting us off too easily.
Intelligence is irrelevant.
Information is secondary.
Faith in the 'the establishment' a lie.
They are not ignorant, they are cowards.
That's my view.
Regards.

'Globalists PREFER that people remain ignorant, John.'
I say they may well. However, they still mark the toothpaste with SODIUM FLUORIDE. They still show the explosions on the TV as the guided bombs strike. They still announce the vaccines are for population reduction. They paraded madness and perversion down the main street.
The elites make sure the People are a part of the decision making process at a moral level. That's how tyranny operates. Without us they're nothing.
'Their ideology is diametrically opposed to mine.'
I don't doubt it.
I'm saying 'they' have had millennia to perfect their operation and we are looking at the latest model. It suits 'them' for their servants to claim,
'What?....Really?....I'm shocked!!!'
Recognizing that people have weaknesses is not the same as exploiting those weaknesses'
No, but you can't do one without the other.
The people are not (yet) fighting the evil elites....how I wish they were.
Regards.

@John
I certainly agree that the average person plays a role in tyranny, mostly through apathy. However, I disagree that the elites are nothing without us. Apathy can be ENCOURAGED, and the elites spend trillions in capital and years of time on conditioning people to conform and to fear. The illusion many seem to have is that the elites are somehow a "product" of the people, and if we get rid of them, more will simply crop up. This is nonsense. It took these men centuries of organization and manipulation to bring the world to this point. If we remove them from the equation, there will still be evil in the world, however, like a victim of poisoning, if you purge a large portion of the poison, they can more easily recover. The elites perpetuate the complacency of the public. Therefore, they must be removed if our situation is to ever improve. I blame people for their lack of vigilance, but it is the establishment that is still committing the ultimate crime.

Indeed....and agreed.
Is taking the life of another more pardonable a sin than denying one Liberty through the force of tyranny.

'Is taking the life of another more pardonable a sin than denying one Liberty through the force of tyranny.'
But what is 'the force tyranny' if not individuals deciding in cold blood to follow insane orders, to arrest those they know full well to be innocent or to follow Government 'policy' regardless what it is etc etc?
This 'force of tyranny' is not a force of nature harnessed by malign elites.
Instead, tyranny relies upon the millions of micro actions that individuals decide to make.
The number of ideologues who honestly believe that the 'enemies of the state' are hiding around every corner and need to be purged is miniscule(Soviet era).
The number of individuals who honestly believe that not supporting homosexual 'marriage' means that you actually hate homosexual people and wish them harm is tiny(PC era).
How many honestly believe that only white racists oppose socialised medicine?
However, this is the true diseased spirit of tyranny.
It needs individuals to disguard their own judgment (as cited by Adolf above) to adopt the corrupt thinking of those who are predating them and to crush the relatively weaker individual one micro-run beneath them on the ladder.
Once this cannibalistic system is up and running even the total dictators such as Stalin & Hitler are never in total control.
Tyranny needs tyrants and one tyrant is never enough. Thousands upon thousands, in all walks of life; are necessary to establish and maintain the regime. These tyrants live next door to us and most don't wear uniforms. Some are even children in a mature tyranny.
It always comes down to individual choice.

'I certainly agree that the average person plays a role in tyranny, mostly through apathy.'
Active and passive 'collaboration' occurs at every level. A good indicators in our era is language; those who decide to use language to mean the opposite of it's ostensive meaning (PC speech) are fools or swine.
They are 'on the other team'. Micro tyrants.
'However, I disagree that the elites are nothing without us.'
Perhaps overstated, but how many people did Pol pot actually murder? Zero?
'Apathy can be ENCOURAGED, and the elites spend trillions in capital and years of time on conditioning people to conform and to fear.'
Yes.
The contemporary control mechanism seems to include welfare/credit/drugs/tv distractions/lotteries (as in pre revolutionary France)/meaningless sex etc etc
The elites are ceaselessly encouraging apathy, resentment, fear, self absorption,greed etc
My view is that all theses above evils require the co-operation of the victims. We can reject them all. We can say no and honor different values.
Some do, many do not and they make that choice.
'The illusion many seem to have is that the elites are somehow a "product" of the people, and if we get rid of them, more will simply crop up.'
Yes.
I don't take that view. Humanity was freer in the past.
Our elites were not as predatory. Control was harder to exert. Technology had not centralised as much power and wealth.
There are lots of reasons the approaching tyranny could be the most terrible.
'This is nonsense. It took these men centuries of organization and manipulation to bring the world to this point.'
Yep.
'If we remove them from the equation, there will still be evil in the world, however, like a victim of poisoning, if you purge a large portion of the poison, they can more easily recover.'
Agreed.
I myself used to regard the elites as the very nexus of the post war/post industrial 'fall' of human society. Now, less so.
'The elites perpetuate the complacency of the public.'
They breed and nurture it. However, the public has to accept the 'nourishment'.
Some analysis posits 'welfare' as a sign that the 'masses' are prepared to accept enslavement. I would suggest that (in the USA) socialised-medicine has the same socio-political function.
It is a new form of government posing as 'free stuff'.
These ideas are expounded in 'Secret Weapons for A Quiet War' are you familiar with this essay? It doesn't seem to get the attention it once did.
'Therefore, they must be removed if our situation is to ever improve.'
Maybe.
Maybe people can bypass and ignore malign illegitimate authority. ie homeschooling and community barter.
Honest, I'd love a revolutionary 'solution' to our parasitic elites.....but look what usually happens.
'I blame people for their lack of vigilance, but it is the establishment that is still committing the ultimate crime.'
Yes.
The establishment is the worst offender, but drug smugglers need banks to launder and child sex traffickers need 'customers'. They're in it together.
I now hold the view few people are going to be truly innocent if we do descend further into tyranny.
'They' know what they're doing, and 'they' know what they are failing to do.

Assuming that scepticals here are right and this whole stuff is 'just' a weapon to reduce population - it is much easier not to use a virus as virus won't make difference between members of so called elite and the rest, vaccines can have (often have) side effects, and even our body, health, immune system are not on the same level: Would be too dangerous for them, too.
It is much easier to create a fake epidemic with some real corpses who died from something (remember? this haemorrhagic fever is not haemorrhagic enough according to WHO and symptoms are not really different from simple flu's) than release a real, deadly virus.
So if we assume that goal is to reduce population it would be easier with a new medicine or vaccine declared against epidemic and at the end they could say: "We are sorry, you were too late / we are sorry, in some of the cases it was not effective enough". And on this way they are covered - more or less.
If it is a simple fake epidemic the most interesting point is its goal. Why they need it? I think this is not the Ebola we should fear but ignorance of the people and panic together with possible 'emergency' measure like martial law, etc.

@Common Sense
Your position is based on the assumption that the elites DON'T have treatments that they are keeping for themselves. Being that Ebola work by the CDC has gone on for a few decades, I do not think it is practical to assume anything.

Brandon,
Your intelligence and humanity, combined with your
excellent ability to write about the truth of things is up there with the very best social writers of our times, and quite possibly of all times to come, especially for someone of your young age. May you survive a long time to be a leader to the future society we all hope to see materialize, sooner than later.
