Thinking inside the box

by Robert j., Unknown News       frogfeetart@yahoo.com       April 29, 2007

In search of one strongly independent, free willed, bright, self-assured, thinker bean. A soul that knows how far the human pendulum can swing without leaving orbit. You might be considered a bit odd, Your mind is complicated and open, your worldview is fluid and curious, your intent is ambiguous. I hope if you feel isolated, that you have hope, and if you are angry, you know love. I wish for you a partner, to hold your hand, say good night, and remind you its all okay.

From the show Heroes -- “In times like these, every one needs a friend”...

Isolation and curiosity have produced more than a few big-brain intellectuals on this planet. The pursuit of truth can be a multifarious nightmare or an agreeable oasis. It is always interesting, some times even funny, and almost never conducive to living a ‘normal’ life. There is no way to predict what effect this pursuit may have on the future YOU.

If the present ME is any indication, and God or spacemen don’t intervene on our behalf, then I need to stop right now. I need to stop seeing the crazy shit happening in this world, just fade back into the economic animal herd and be
This is the box, from the inside
content grazing on tender ignorance. Buy a big house and a new car; and start working on those 2.3 kids.

That may sound good in my head, but it will not work. You can not un-know something, and this is where my initial thought started ...

My journey began in 1991. Like most things, it started quite innocently. Curiosity was the engine, disbelief the motivation. The book, written ironically by Pat Robertson, was telling us that the Federal Reserve is not part of the Federal Government. That it’s a privately owned corporation, and that they can print money or with hold money as they see fit. I just knew he was wrong about that, so off I went to the library. WHAT???? I found out that he was right… My life has never been the same since.

I truly believe people who are drawn to truth are a different species. Maybe it's not that the ‘normals’ refuse to see the world ’as is’, maybe they can’t. If you are a farmer, perhaps you had no choice, its' just who you are, and you're providing a valued service to the community. I have been studying this world for over 15 years, perhaps that's what I was meant to do.

In all that time, unless they were conducting their own search already, no-one has ever come to me and said, ”You know, I looked into what you said and I see what you mean.” It’s not for lack of trying. God knows I have been pounding that same nail into the wall with my forehead forever.

If there is no purpose to understanding the complicated world in which we live, then why bother? And by purpose, I mean offering guidance to those who don’t understand, to help all of us become a more informed, engaged, thinking society, and stop this self-destructive madness. Other than self-preservation, what is the point?

I assume most of you have dug deep enough into this human drama, to understand that we are not going to think ourselves out of this mess, and that we have a very difficult road ahead. For those who still think our ‘representational government’ is going to come to the rescue, keep reading, you will find the story has a very dark twist in the last few chapters. With enough time and tenacity you will penetrate that place deep in your mind, where the familiar territory of disbelief becomes a new unfamiliar reality. Then it's too late, you lose the innocence of not knowing, forever.

In all these years of pondering the 'What can we do?' question, the only thing that has ever made sense to me is to boycott voting altogether. If we don’t voluntarily participate in their voting scam, which has ensured their control and our subjugation, we institute the largest non-violent protest ever waged. Unless you have a better idea, and if so I am one big ear hole.

On a personal note, the recent discovery that I can share thoughts on this website has been a blessing to me. I had no idea how cathartic it could be. I didn’t even know I could write until I was inspired by an article on rense.com that linked me to Unknown News (so many thanks to Helen and Harry, and everyone who contributes there time and brain cells).

That discovery 15 years ago, has led me to my current situation. I know there are others who share similar concerns and could benefit from mutual cooperation. I need some help -- here is my situation:

I have recently converted a 48 foot insulated shipping container into a self-contained (just need water) dwelling. I am now looking for a suitable location to set it. I would prefer to put it on an existing, or being readied piece of private property. A semi truck would deliver it, so at least a two-track road is necessary (maybe?). I am looking to lease, rent, buy or ________(?) from a sane, non-militant family, small group or individual living away from the things of man. I am more than willing to help out.

I am a very handy, competent, bright person. I play well with others, learn quickly, am strong and healthy. I would like the option to bring in another “box,” and if I’m lucky, a girlfriend to ride out the storm with.

Good luck, and thanks,

Robert j.
