Who Turned Out the Lights?

What’s with this anything goes atmosphere we’ve been swept into when it comes to governmental, economic and societal behavior?

What happened? How did this darkened, backwards world become the “new normal” everyone seems to have accepted, with nary a whimper of complaint? Where did this come from, and in what world are we now living?

It’s very much like being in a well lit room when someone waltzes in and hits the dimmer, which before you know it has been gradually turned down to almost zero visibility.

And apparently the tables were turned when the lights went out.

Our Current Dystopian Nightmare

Governments do as they please without regard for due process of law or public opinion, never mind the consequences; bankers run roughshod over nations and populations with abject impunity, extorting everything they can get and then insist they get bailed out – and are; Wall Street and corporations openly cheat, steal and manipulate with complete abandon and in plain sight with zero accountability.

What happened?

There are no consequences for wrongdoings, no serious protests, logical investigations or punishment – no nothing. All while the whirled around us unravels before our eyes.


  • Now add to this dystopian nightmare militarized police and swat teams indiscriminately murdering innocent civilians without consequence; the environment getting trashed by geoengineering and radiation while the media and authorities won’t even acknowledge it is happening; and all the while psychopathic fascist war mongers murder millions in their march to conquer the world under the Orwellian banner of democracy and freedom supposedly against their own completely fabricated, amorphous threat of terrorism.

    I know you’ve heard all this before but let’s get some context – the makeover of our planet is absolutely shocking when you stand back and see it for what it is.

    They Operate in the Shadows

    When the lights are out, elements operate “under the cover of darkness.” Ring a bell? Who works under those conditions? The word that comes to mind is “stealth”.

    Wikipedia’s synonym entry says this about stealth:

    synonyms: furtiveness, secretiveness, secrecy, surreptitiousness, sneakiness, slyness, covertness, stealthiness, clandestineness
    “what they could not accomplish by violence or chicanery they would have to accomplish by stealth”.

    This is what we’re up against and the nature of the powers that shouldn’t be.

    “Cui Bono” (Who Benefits) When the Lights Are Out?

    I remember when one unlawful police shooting of a civilian was headlines and didn’t disappear until the culprit got his due. War crimes were top news until addressed. The public wouldn’t have it otherwise. There was a moral backbone, however compromised or manipulated at the time. It was nothing like this surreal place we’re living in now.

    Today? Outright torture is publicly justified, entire genocides don’t get reported, crooked bankers and financial scammers run free and collect bonuses, while homicidal police are put on “leave” at best.

    Who did this? It’s pretty plain to see if you apply the same old trusty formula – cui bono? Who benefits? Well, the usual suspects who are riding herd on humanity.

    Clever little bastards these psychopathic termites are. But we’re on to them.

    This list is long how much things have changed for the worse. Of course we the people are being blamed as the problem – our CO2 emissions, bad consumer habits, terrorist like reactionary “Patriotic” sovereign leanings, voicing dissent, and objective journalism –  all are now “bad elements.”

    That’s about as topsy-turvy as you can get.

    The Orwellian World is Here

    People are making a mistake when they say we’re “becoming” an Orwellian society or “evolving” into Huxley’s Brave New World. They’re both here. Full on surveillance and meta data tracking and a fully drugged, media mastered society are not what’s coming – they’re here.

    In fact, so much is in place humanity is almost beckoning the final New World Order they once dreaded, in a sort of trance like awe-stricken fixation reinforced by what they see continually around them as inescapable, logical conclusions to what they’ve witnessed.

    This is very serious stuff. And there’s a reason people won’t face up to it.

    As I said 4 years ago in Dazed Lemmings Can’t Bridge The Reality Gap:

    Sensory Overload and the Ostrich Effect

    As the gap between reality and manipulated public perception grows, it may just be too big a leap for many at this point. Having been dumbed-down and unresponsive for so long, it’s too much for them to take in.

    Sad, but again, that’s the projected reality that many unconsciously adopt.

    Hey, why wake up when everything’s such a bummer? That’s the underlying mentality. The thing is, this is a conditioned response. Overload and recoil. And it’s been going on a long, long time.

    Why? Like the dumbing down effect of not just the manipulated media but fluoride and chemtrails and adulterated food, it eventually suppresses natural responses. When the real alert presents itself, the subject will not be able to react and protect himself.

    Why all the dramatic end of the world sci-fi movies? Why the emphasis on violence and horror movies and graphic, destructive wars? Why does the news major on the bad events of the day? Why the combative gladiator sports, emphasis on technology instead of humanity, and mind-numbing crass consumerism and sexualization of society?

    This is deliberate social engineering, and that’s the biggie.

    It’s all engineered..and that’s the last thing most people want to realize.

    And it usually is.

    So We’re Here – Now What?

    Number one, we still have many freedoms, and we need to “make hay while the sun shines”. The internet is still open, we can still move about relatively freely, and we can still communicate on a variety of levels. If we don’t take full advantage of this and rush the breach with all that is in us we will rue the day some time in the very near future.

    Our effect has been enormous in throwing off and delaying many of their plans. Sure they always come up with something else but that requires regrouping and replanning, which clearly results in hasty decisions and botched operations as we’re seeing in the past several years of blown false flag operations, as only one clear example.

    It matters. And we need to hit it hard right now. Besides other solutions, I’m convinced there is a large number of so-called insiders who have had enough and want out, and are ready to tell the truth in one form or another. We need to find and encourage them. Flood outlets you think may still have honest reporters, politicians with even an ounce of integrity, corporate and banking stooges in the middle and lower levels who’ve tasted the abusive game and want out – as well as to expose the truth of what’s going.

    It’s sure worth a shot. In the meantime make your own noise, stick it to your local officials for their participation in this takeover. Shake the stupor and induced indifference, buck the tide and stand up for what is right like you never have before.

    Cowardice is an endemic disease – born, bred and encouraged by the very system we despise and want to throw off. It’s a result of believing the fear propaganda and putting ourselves and our personal security above what is right and best for humanity.

    Don’t let it squelch your spirit.

    Rise. The hour is late…but not over. We say when it’s over.

    And it’ll be them who are over.

    Much love, Zen
