Our world is changing at such a rapid pace that the most valuable asset has become information. The progression of society from the dark ages to the printing press to the internet has made information that would take hours or even days to research, available in seconds. We can analyze the news, markets, foreign policy, history, politics, weather, or hop on social media for some cat memes.
The tricks that used to work for banks and governments to control outcomes are becoming more difficult to keep under wraps because of this and clearly over the past several years a good example would be Wikileaks. Never before have we had anything more than theories that simply couldn't be proven, but by the sharing of this information, the path of civilization is altered. Certainly, not all conspiracies are rational, but some of them are becoming not only possible, but potentially worse than people imagined.
In my opinion, it has become very clear that there are powerful interests that affect every single life on Earth (if you dispute this please keep in mind that there are a small number of people on earth that could could order it's destruction at any moment).
There is evidence of horrendous crime at these levels, yet people still beg those in power, either directly or indirectly, to rule them. The apathy of free people is leading them into further being controlled. Accountability is a word that has lost it's meaning at the top. It is a skewed 6 syllable word that applies only to those that are ruled. The level of control of everyone's information is stunning. The power to shut off your ability to do commerce, or frame you for a crime, even take over the ECM of your vehicle and run you directly into a wall.
We do not have to conform, we do not have to be violent, we do not have to concern ourselves with the desperate society that they have "created" through such dishonorable means. The principles of liberty are not a commodity to be sold to us through licensure, and nobody has a right to deprive another of their rights (self defense not included). We are the collective of ideas from INDIVIDUALS. We have more brainpower in seconds than all governments combined, yet we bend for them. It is time for our renaissance, it is time we break the current sociological model with the brilliance of our most valuable asset, information. Paired with innovation, people can bring these centralized powers down to eye level.
