The content of this video is over 2,500 years old……amazing, even then, people “knew.” This story is from Plato’s most famous book, The Republic. Most people live in a world of relative ignorance. They are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all they know. Once you’ve tasted the truth, you won’t EVER want to go back to being ignorant.

Fiji’s soldiers have apparently been caught on camera handcuffing men and beating them with rods.
The shocking video shows one man being whacked while lying down in the back of a truck and another set upon by a vicious dog.
Human rights groups have denounced the Fijian military over the footage, which some have described as ‘torture’.

“I swear you can’t f*ck with me
But I can f*ck your girl and make her nut for me
Then slutt for me, then kill for me, then steal for me
And of course it’ll be your cash
Then I’ll murder that b*tch
and send her body back to your a*s” – Lil Wayne, “We Be Steady Mobbin”
Imagine an entire generation of young people hearing lyrics like this on a daily basis, reciting mantras that glorify drug and alcohol consumption, the objectification of women, murdering other black people, anti-intellectualism, financial irresponsibility and every other thing you can do to destroy your life. Do you REALLY believe that a child can hear this message every single day, repeating these lyrics literally thousands of times and not have his subconscious mind altered by the messages he’s consuming? Do you REALLY think that the corporations earning billions of dollars from this form of weaponized psychological genocide care one bit about whether your son ends up in the prison, the morgue, the rehab center, the insane asylum or the unemployment line?
