Morpheus: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo: No. Morpheus: Why not? Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life. Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? Neo: Do you want to know what IT is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.... Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.... Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more.... Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see. Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me Neo, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress? Neo: I was... Morpheus: Look again. Freeze it. Neo: This...this isn't the Matrix? Morpheus: No. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing. If you are not one of us, you are one of them. Neo: What are they? Morpheus: Sentient programs. They can move in and out of any software still hard wired to their system. That means that anyone we haven't unplugged is potentially an agent. Inside the Matrix, they are everyone and they are no one. We are survived by hiding from them, by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors. They are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them. Neo: Someone? Morpheus: I won't lie to you, Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent has died. But where they have failed, you will succeed. (Phone) The One: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see.

Some people will believe anything that helps them feel like they are in control. As though the truth is not important, but feeling safe is.
Morpheus: Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony... For the longest time I wouldn't believe it...And standing there, facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this. The Holocaust Historiography Project
Very appripos Chris.. Why is opinion so dangeous.. if it's nuts it won't stand the test ..it can't .. as Ive said I dont agree with many posts .. but the thought police think we must eradicate those who believe differently.. muzzle them.. I suppose this country has gone down the tubes big time.. The first amendment has been one of the most important amendments.. but of course those who rale against it.. think free speech is fine if its about pornographers... or some other such thing but WORDS.. oh my gawd.. we cant have that now can we?

Chilling. Thus does the radicalized, alienated insurgent justify the slaughter of those for whom they ostensibly fight. (They are kidding themselves.) If you are not one of us, you are one of them. Sounds familiar!
The I got bored this morning and went slumming at TOS2. That's where I found this little gem: And when this happens, we'll bitchslap any leftist that dares to open his mouth, if we don't simply shoot them for doing so. [snip] DAnconia55 posted on 2005-07-23 10:24:07 ET Calling these "people" fascists and comparing them to nazis isn't over the top or hyperbole. It's damned accurate. And their definition of "leftist" seems to be anyone who doesn't agree with their sick little view of the way things ought to be. It's bad enough that we have to worry about our own government turning thuggish, but these assholes sure as hell aren't going to make things any easier.

OMG.. these people are truly certifiable... "And when this happens, we'll bitchslap any leftist that dares to open his mouth, if we don't simply shoot them for doing so.

To: DAnconia55 (#5) And when this happens, we'll bitchslap any leftist that dares to open his mouth, if we don't simply shoot them for doing so. And THEN, camel-humper, we'll turn your entire civilization in to dust. I like the way you think. Unfortunately, I do expect at least an ATTEMPT to detonate a nuclear weapon against a US city before the next year end, i.e. in this year 2005. Crystalk posted on 2005-07-23 I LIKE the way you think? Is she f'ing nuts?
"...when a society believes in nothing, fear becomes the only agenda..."
"Nuts" doesn't even begin to sum up that broad. She's big with the "Let's you and him fight" neoclown mindset. Like most of them, she wants the US to invade most of the world but she gets real quiet if you ask her when she's going to enlist.
"If you're not cynical, then you're not paying attention."
These people who profess to be Christians but IMO are NOT.. are great armchair warriors arent they? Ive seen her photo.. she wouldnt even make it when the age requirement is raised.. hmm maybe she should join try to with the 'granny brigade'?
"...when a society believes in nothing, fear becomes the only agenda..."
There are plenty of unfilled private contractor jobs in Iraq that even the older neoclowns could fill, but you won't see them even going that far to support such a "noble" effort to make the world safe for Chevron and Haliburton. Gutless turds, the whole lot of them.
"If you're not cynical, then you're not paying attention."
Ah, Phaedrus for sure.

Ah.. that is a great idea.. contractors .. they could support the war effort.. be paid by the industrial military complex and be exposed to DU all at the same time! :P
"...when a society believes in nothing, fear becomes the only agenda..."
Actually, the 2nd is there to protect all the rest, imo.
lol. i like the way you think!

Excellent example of semitic mind.

Wow.. DAnconia used to be one of my favorite posters. Amazing how people can change.
"Working Three Jobs is: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic... Get any sleep?" (Laughs) ~ George W Bush
There's more.. The full quote: The coming days will prove that Kaedat el-Jihad [the Al-Qaeda organization] is capable of turning America into a sea of deadly radiation, and this will prove to the world that the end is at hand.... Yes, we will destroy America and its allies, because they have used their power for evil against the weak. And when this happens, we'll bitchslap any leftist that dares to open his mouth, if we don't simply shoot them for doing so. And THEN, camel-humper, we'll turn your entire civilization in to dust.

They are so convinced that a nuke will be popped and a U.S. city that they are calling everyone who says otherwise anti-American. It's really sad. I see some great confusion in their minds. If they ever learn the whole truth about W and the how they have been deceived, I fear that many of them will be jumping off bridges and out of windows. Or just blowing their brains out. The only other alternative is the rubber room.

BTW, this is the fear engendered hatred everyone has been discussing recently on another thread.

I hate to sound pessimistic, but we haven't seen anything yet. Quick, turn on MSNBC - they're interviewing yet another Jewish terrorism expert - Harvey Kushner. I'm betting Harvey couldn’t find a whore in a phone booth, yet he has all the answers. More cameras....in fact thousands of them....
I saw some info that just in the state of Colorado, they have budgeted over 100,000 cameras that all feed into a central database. There are cameras all over Georgia and mny other places. It really is a big brother surveillance society we live in. Screw 'em all. They can eat lead.

I guess - no I know. Our government should stop for a minute, and admit the mistakes INTERNALLY. And make some damn corrections. American Citizens are being abused by the Federal Government. I have no answers. Just been rotting at my mind... That's a good start for DAnconia55. Maybe there's hope for some on LP afterall.
If I wasn't on a time-out right now, I would have to ask him to narrow down his definition of "leftist" since it would be nice to know which people he wants to go after with his posse to bitch-slap or just plain out execute. I have a pretty good idea, but I always like to get these people on the record.

Neo: No. I don't believe it. It's not possible.
Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.
Neo: Stop. Let me out. Let me out. I want out.

Roman Emperors American people could have any single bureaucrat killed removed from office, but ultimately they required the cooperation of the bureaucracy in order to rule.
