There is a war being fought at the very highest levels of existence. Those of us who don't remember any of this don't remember for a reason. We have had our memories taken from us.

Look at the plot of movies like Serenity, Cabin in the Woods, or the new game The Last of Us.

Some kind of disaster happened a long time ago. We are already living in the post apocalypse.

Some kind of cure has been found, but it involves the principle of sacrifice. Sacrifice of a bloodline, or a group, it seems.

The war is being fought at the broadest level over whether to continue using this cure, to continuing punishing this group so the rest of existance can keep going on, or whether to allow it all to cease and thus reset existence.

Those who are the sacrifice are asked to do it for the greater good(at least the ones who are aware of their situation are). A faction of them however, no longer want this to continue. I consider these people to be the Illuminati.

I believe the Tell-A-Vision show The Prisoner describes us. We are a faction of the larger group which benefits from the sacrifice, who decided that we as well we no longer wanted it to continue. In the last episode, number six explaines that the reason he defected was because he learned too much about the people he worked for. Because we are dangerous, we were sent here to be quarantined, and perhaps "rehabilitated".

So maybe there is happiness ahead for some, but it involves compromising your beliefs which got you sent here in the first place. It involves allowing the law of sacrifice to continue, when you once believed it to be wrong.

This is stuff it has taken me a long while to piece together, but I really do think it is behind everything we are going through right now.
