“Whoever would climb over the walls of the thought prison and venture beyond the spectrum of acceptable opinion steps beyond the pale into the realm of unapproved thought and therefore violates a cardinal Taboo -- an enforced Taboo which preserves the social order and its power structure by keeping every member of every social stratum (including and even especially the enforcers themselves) in their assigned place. The social order as it exists today is directed by the social engineers to one ultimate purpose: to keep the masses in the blissful misery of their servitude by preserving them in a state of unawareness of their own servitude and to maintain those who wield power over them (the inner party as Orwell called them), on the behalf of the commanding heights of global finance, in a contented state of loyal service. Limiting the spectrum of acceptable opinion preserves the state of the servitude of the mind of the masses by erecting artificial boundaries - barriers designed for the specific purpose of blocking out the forbidden light of dangerous truths that threaten the power structure. The way to break the shackles that keep the mind bound in servitude is to first, like Socrates, have the humility to admit that we know nothing and thus be willing to humbly accept that we have allowed ourselves to be deceived - to admit that when we perilously thought ourselves to be possessed of knowledge we were in reality believing in lies. From there we can then proceed to follow the path marked out by those independent spirits whom the ruling establishment have excoriated, berated and demonized because they threaten the power of the ruling elite by their stubborn persistence in the pursuit of historical facts and objective truth and their obstinate refusal to uncritically and meekly accept the politically correct lies that serve no purpose but to preserve the status quo of the ruling power structure, maintain the supremacy of the financial elite intact, and enforce their immoral, oppressive and ultimately nihilistic policies on humanity. Like them, we must then seek the truth at all costs. While it may take a great deal of time, effort and study to arrive at the full possession of the whole truth, it does not require any great effort or superior intellectual powers to recognize the lies that the ruling establishment has served up for consumption by the general public, provided that one accepts nothing of what they say on the basis of mere human faith or perceived authority. We must always suspect that what we read in the newspapers and watch on television are lies and propaganda, and it is obvious that we have been lied to when what has been reported to us by the government and in the media can, upon investigation, be shown to be impossible.” –Paul Kramer, The Mystery of Iniquity, p. 169
