16 Signs That You’re a Slave to the Matrix

Is there anything worse than people who spend all day on the internet calling other people slaves? 99% of the people on here would have meltdowns in the internet went down.

Nicely done OP.

People are existing, but they are not really living life. Not in any real sense anyways...

Technology and science will come to nothing if in the process you lose your humanity.

People need to get back to the basics. They need to shut off their tv. pick up an old fashioned non fiction book and study and learn the skills and techniques that got us to this point we are at today in the first place. If that does not happen, the primary mastery of those skills will all be lost to us.

If (when) there (is) were a catastrophic failure of our social order as it is now, we would be hard pressed to recover. There are so many basic skills going extinct because modern tech has replaced them. What happens when modern tech fails? There will few left with the prior knowledge to pick up the pieces to recover.

Look at the farming tech. What used to be many farms, is now a fewer mega farms that are automated. On top of this, they are using bio enhanced crops, and bio enhanced livestock. These farms feed millions. If half of these were to crash, the general populace of people would be hard pressed to survive. I doubt that 80% of the population even knows how to plant a garden, butcher an animal, forage for wild food or fish and hunt. Chaos will reign.

There is a storm brewing, there is no doubt.......When the matrix goes down, what will be left?

Well that's not what the matrix is about. This is the true matrix from the other forum written by Cryptic Mole:

Are You Ready To Be Unplugged?

All the illuminati, powers that be, evil people in high places, and music industry talk. All the watching for the wars, economic collapses, and coming global pandemics. All the GMO foods, aspartame, fluoride, and chemtrails. All the corrupted people on the take, and evil dictators. All the xx videos, and the like. They have all been created to keep you trapped in the system... the matrix if you will.

Everyone believes that by knowing about and understanding these thing, they believe they are able to escape it when in reality, they actually have enslaved and ensnared themselves more deeply without even realizing it. The more you think you know, the less you actually know. The deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the deeper you sink. The further you are pulled away from the truth. Yes, the matrix is the ultimate control system, and has been carefully designed over many many years. It is their ultimate tool!

You have also believed that most of those conspiracy websites you get your information from somehow makes you a person who is in the know, but those which are allowed to remain functional are there only because they spew all the same false information without even realizing it. They are feeding the system. They are feeding the very matrix they are warning you about.

For years you may have heard me talking about the deception within a deception on this forum and others. I compared it to an alien invasion of fallen angels claiming to be our alien brothers and sisters and who have created us, and even though this will one day happen, there was an even deeper meaning behind it all... thus the double deception within a deception. This is the double deception that is the matrix.

What's my point here? It's to tell you that all these things are not of any real importance, and that the things that can be seen are of very little significance. It is the unseen things that they have kept hidden from you that really matter. You are powerful beyond measure, and that has been taken from you at birth, and yes, even before.

Look beyond the things you see, and listen beyond that which can be heard with your ears. You should no longer read between the lines. Instead you should be thinking well outside the box by now. Pure critical thinking from here on out!

"Everything in the entire universe is alive, and is in a constant communication with one another." Everything! And that also includes you!

Unplug Yourself now!

Lemme see, first he says:
You have also believed that most of those conspiracy websites you get your information from somehow makes you a person who is in the know, but those which are allowed to remain functional are there only because they spew all the same false information without even realizing it.

and then he says:

For years you may have heard me talking about the deception within a deception on this forum and others.

So what he's saying is conspiracy forums give you the impression that you are in the know, and spew false information , while feeding the system, and yet he himself has been talking about deceptions on this forum FOR YEARS.........?????

??????

Meaning we should avoid conspiracy forums altogether, yet come in and read ONLY his posts?

1 You pay taxes to people you’d like to see locked up in jail. This is perhaps the biggest indicator that we are slaves to the matrix. The traditional notion of slavery conjures up images of people in shackles forced to work on plantations to support rich plantation owners. The modern day version of this is forced taxation, where our incomes are automatically docked before we ever see the money, regardless of whether or not we approve of how the money is spent.

2 You go to the doctor, but you’re still sick. Modern medical care, for all of it’s scientific progress, has sadly become sick care, where we are rarely advised to eat well and tend to our mental and physical health, but instead are routinely advised to consume expensive medications and procedures that are pushed by the for-profit healthcare matrix.

3 You’ve picked Team Democrat or Team Republican and argue with your friends, family and co-workers about politics. This is what the control strategy of divide and conquer looks like in our society. Both of the major parties are corrupt through and through, and independent candidates are not even allowed to participate in public debates. By believing in one of these parties and burning your personal energy on arguing with other ordinary people you are turning over your soul the matrix, and doing your share in making sure that ‘we the people’ will never be united against corruption.

4 You work hard doing something you hate to earn fiat dollars. Work is important and money does pay the bills, however, so many people lose the best years of their lives doing things they hate, just for money. The truth about money today is that we do not have money, but instead, inflationary fiat currency that is privately owned and manipulated. Since it is still necessary to get by in this world, it is best that you get more value for your time by doing something you enjoy or by working with people you do not despise. It is easier than you may think to live on less money than we believe we need, we just have to be willing to go against the grain realize this.

5 You’re willing to accrue personal debt to fund the acquisition of a consumer oriented lifestyle. Each time a credit card is swiped it creates digits on the balance sheets of the banks that are most involved with the financial looting of the world today. These digits are then multiplied electronically by the fractional reserve system, which exponentially increases the power of these institutions. To participate in this, and by agreeing to pay this fake money back with interest, in order to maintain a certain lifestyle, is a strong indication that you are bound by one of the main tenets of the matrix – consumerism.

6 You converse with real people about the ongoing happenings of TV shows. TV is the most potent tool used for mind control, and the ‘programming’ that is available, while certainly cool, fun, or entertaining is geared to reinforce certain behaviors amongst the masses. Dramatizing the ego’s importance, over sexualizing everything, glorifying violence, and teaching submissiveness to phony authority are the main features of modern TV. By taking what is happening onscreen and making it a part of your real life, you are doing your job of supporting the matrix’s desire to confuse us about the nature of reality, proving that something doesn’t have to actually happen in order for it to feel real to people.

7 You don’t have anything to hide from total surveillance. If it does not bother you that someone, somewhere, working for somebody is watching you, listening to your conversations, and monitoring your movements, then, you are a good slave to the matrix. Invisible surveillance is an insidious form of thought control, and by using the logic of, ‘I have nothing to hide, therefore, it will do me no harm to be surveilled,’ then you are mindlessly admitting that you have an earthly master and are not of sovereign mind and body.

8 You think the world would be safer if only governments had guns. This is a violent world, and criminals engage in criminality against honest people at every level of society, including from within the government. Sure, in a perfect world, weapons wouldn’t be necessary for anyone but, sadly, our world is anything but perfect, and firearms are indeed a very effective form of protection against common criminals and abusive governments alike. The willingness to forego your right to self-defense is a sign that you’ve relegated personal responsibility to someone else. Having the masses abdicate personal responsibility is one of the most important aspects of controlling them. Welcome to the matrix.

9 You knowingly drink fluoridated water. Of all the health debates taking place today, the topic of fluoridated water is the easiest to understand, for it is a toxic by-product of an industrial process… poison. Water is supposedly fluoridated to aid in dental health, which is debatable in itself, but if this were so, then the involuntary fluoridation of public water is a medication without your consent… a form of slavery. Knowing this and continuing to drink fluoridated water is a sign that you’re content with your slavery to the matrix. Here are 18 scientifically validated reasons to end public water fluoridation.

10 You knowingly consume toxic poisons like MSG and Aspartame. These two chemicals are widely known to be toxic to the human body. Knowing this and continuing to poison yourself with tasty, but chemical-laden processed foods is a sign that the matrix has programmed you to place less value on your health and future than on your immediate gratification.

11 You depend on the pharmaceutical industrial complex for the management of your own mental health. The use of psychotropic medicines is rising rapidly in our society because people have been convinced that mental and emotional states can be classified as diseases, while the truth about natural mental health has been obfuscated by corporate media and a for-profit medical establishment. If you’re taking psychotropic medications, then you are under one of the most potent forms of mind control available. Part of this control is to convince you that you have no authority over your own mind. This is perhaps the matrix’s most terrible lie, and by willingly taking these psychotropic medications you are conforming to the worst kind of slavery, and inhibiting your natural mental and emotional responses to the life stressors that are signaling to you that you need to change your behavior and habits.

12 You haven’t yet stopped watching your local and national news programming. The mainstream news media is a tool of control and manipulation, and by continuing to support their ideas and world views by giving them your attention you are volunteering to be a slave to this not-so-subtle form of mental programming. Even the local news is scripted at the national level by agents of the handful of corporations tasked with shaping our opinions of events.

13 You’re more concerned with televised sports or other mindless distractions than you are with the quality of your natural environment. The Deepwater Horizon, Alberta Tar Sands, the rise of Fracking, the sacrifice of the Amazon, and Fukushima are all life-changing events that will severely impact our future on planet earth. To be unconcerned with all of this while tuning into a never-ending stream of sports trivia and distraction-based living is a sign that your sense of self-preservation has been stolen and replaced with an impulsive tendency for triviality and escapism.

14 You’re skeptical of any area of life that hasn’t been ‘proven’ or validated by modern science. The very essence of science is the inquiry into the unknown, implying that until science can grasp something, it is unexplainable. By discrediting or ridiculing experiences that other people have, which yet evade scientific understanding, like near-death experiences, acupuncture, or the life changing effects of Ayahuasca, then you are slavishly reducing your understanding of the world to a narrow range of possibilities. The matrix is made possible by the efforts of volunteer gatekeepers who are unwilling to think outside of the box.

15 You’ve never questioned the popularized version of ancient history and the origins of our civilization. There are many unanswered questions about the origins of the human race that point to a different version of human history than what is taught in school. Read 2o history questions they refuse to answer in school to discover some of the many ways in which our history has been hijacked. By never questioning what we’ve been told about our origin we are acquiescing to many of the imposed belief systems and narrow-banded views of human potential that the matrix promotes.

16 You haven’t yet realized that you are a spiritual being living a human experience.

17. you think you are an atheist and yet celebrate Christmas, Halloween and Easter bunnies.

I'm already gone, Feeling so much freer since I left the US of A. lol

I have a nice set up in thailand, I live in the middle of farm country, and have 6 cabins I rent out. come visit you will love it. Cabins are 100 dollars a month not including electricity, free wi fi. Message me if your interested. Have lots of land you can garden, and I have a very large pond for raising fish.

How much does it cost to set something like that up?

2 1/2 acres I bought seven years ago, 6 cabin (living room, full bath, and bedroom). And my own house about 2000sq for around 200,000 usd. Could be more expensive now depending on where you buy the land. Land where I'm at has gone up about 6 times or 600percent.. But there are further out land that is still cheap.

Good for you! Seems you've managed to break free.

I'm guilty of just one.

I'm guilty of paying taxes. Not sure how to avoid that one without a big expense or prison.

You've finally given me a real reason to register - I'm very interested in Thailand myself for multiple reasons and I love to build things of value. I can find freedom in the USA, but it's a lot of work and getting harder. Most of the good American women are already married or in relationship, and finding even one takes far too much time and effort.

You seem to have it figured out. How hard is it to learn Thai?
