Hey, what's up? It's Ross. So where it's kind of fun to do, but it's also easy to end up in the weeds. So I will try to keep it short and sweet and stick to the talking points that I have for a reason. And yeah, we'll see you on the other side of this. Let's get it going.

So this is episode six, and it's "meet the baddies." It's the who, what, why, and where, I would say everywhere, they're everywhere, to be completely honest. But let's get into everything.

Who are the baddies?

People will say the Illuminati, and they think that it's just one group of people. The truth is there are multiple secret societies, and there's evidence of that, like in plain sight if people look for it.

Some corporations have a significant stake in this; incredibly rich individuals have a stake in how the world plays out. Some governments have a stake in all of this, some families have a stake in this, and then some people are just famous that aren't necessarily incredibly rich yet but have a big sway in power that are a part of this.

There are probably other people too that I'm not even thinking of, but those are the big ones that I can think of, and all of those people can be in multiple factions. So it's a lot more complex than people would like to believe, and I would also say that there are probably some people in it for good reasons, and there's probably some people in it for not-so-good reasons.

 For the most part, though, when you think of secret societies, you don't think of people doing things in your best interest; it's often people doing things behind your back or taking advantage of you.

And from what I've found, that generally is the case with a lot of these more malicious ones, some secret societies are just about presenting information that I've seen, and maybe those are more benign. But anyhow, let's move on from the who because I think you get a general idea.

There are many different ways; there's evidence that secret societies can impact stuff. Corporations have the money to influence people; they can influence the government. They have the money to affect small towns. So obviously, there are players in controlling things, wealthy people.

Governments want people to fall in line; certain bloodlines wish people to be servants; famous people need regular people to adore them and influence their fans. Some people want a servant class of people specifically. So they work towards that end.

All of this stuff makes sense when you think about it. But some people don't want to see the world beyond their tiny lens. So now that get the idea of who we're talking about

Why do they do it?

War profiteering, making money off of war. It's like one of the oldest tricks in the books, that and they sell drugs. The Iran Contra scandal that was publicly released in the eighties that the C. I. A. was involved in dealing drugs.

If you look at the war in Afghanistan, the Taliban was keeping the opium crops out. Then you see the Taliban get taken out. Opium production comes up; there's a spike in heroin addiction in the united states. Then there are all of these medications to help people come off heroin legally prescribed. So then there are these people making legal money off of heroin addiction.

You have to tell me that something is up there. I've heard there are even documentaries that had come out of this theory.  

Also, there are all sorts of evidence of the government's selling arms to people that they shouldn't sell, and I'm sure that that goes on in lots of other different ways to human trafficking. We know that's going on and that there have been people in the government involved in it.

Genocide is kind of hard to put here in that regard. But if you look at how some of these corporations have done certain things, they have done genocidal things. Even some people in power have taken that turn now that one is probably a little less likely than others like that one; maybe I shouldn't have put it on the list. Still, it has occurred to the best of their ability, and they have attempted to put those plans in place at certain times. 

Destabilizing governments that's a big one that us is big on and look if people don't believe me in any of this stuff because this is me making a lot of accusations without giving any evidence to anything that I'm saying.

Just because I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. I think it's essential to know it and understand that how you combat this power structure is a lot different from how most people are going at it.

Why do people do this? 

Fear should be at the top of the list because fear is the driving force behind these other reasons. It doesn't matter if it's greed or hunger for power; fear is the motivating thing.

They're afraid that if they don't have these resources or power or attention or whatever they need, they won't be successful. So they go out of their way and put all these other people through all of this pain to provide themselves with a little bit of comfort to ease their anxiety. But the thing is, it never actually works, and it's a self-perpetuating system at some point. How they go about it ends up leaving them in a perpetual need of having to reinstate themselves.

If there was an acceptance of their situation, they could move past fear, but because they constantly deny what they're afraid of, they're continually reinstating that fear. How do these people go about instilling things? Digital echo chambers are one way, so a digital echo chamber is like when you go on Facebook.

Often, it's a lot of the same type of content that you repeatedly enjoy because Facebook has an algorithm created to show you the stuff that will get you to react in certain ways. So if you're seeing stuff that pisses you off all the time, Facebook is showing you that because you respond in a positive way to the algorithm.

But the digital echo chambers generally keep you in small groups that tell you the same opinions, so you never really grow beyond it. So you keep this very baseline understanding of your topic. They use symbolism to keep you stuck. This one's a little bit more tricky, but symbolism, you often make associations, and these associations can impact your consciousness on some level.

But for example, the symbolism could be as simple as something like teams. The symbolism of a team can prevent you from building a connection or relationship with a friend who might have helpful information just because their team logo is different. That sounds stupid, but it happens all the time.

Propaganda. There's another way that they keep people stuck. So misinformation, misinformation is giving you wrong information. Disinformation is, there's a way that these two are slightly different, and I can't recall it right now, so I'm not going to make a quote and tell you incorrectly.

Research both of those and look at the difference between them because there's a subtle difference. The other would-be media like these people get you through the media by showing you different things, telling you sound bytes of information without getting you to look at it critically, digesting all of these intense ideas, and giving you feedback.

And then cultural programming is by getting other people to fall into this same system and create their character. They're encouraging you to do the same. A lot of who we are when we operate in society isn't necessarily who we are. It's our avatar to navigate the culture. That's a fucking heavy concept; wow. I don't have the recapitulation for this because it's pretty straightforward.

The baddies are corporations and uh families bloodlines, elitist all of this stuff there. It doesn't matter what political party doesn't matter what race, gender, age creed, you are day one, everybody there all sorts of different reasons for that.

How we fight back is different from how most people approach this. There are all sorts of other people vying for control. The important thing, though, is how we fight back, and I'll share that in the next episode, and don't worry, I'm not going to tell you to like run out and do anything stupid.

And I promise you it's a lot more peaceful and more grounded because if things are as out of control as I would say they are, we have to remember there's some saving grace in all of that, and we'll explain that next episode anyhow. Thank you so much. I appreciate you listening, and we'll chat again soon.
