Holy Mystery!
Mysticism in Service of Oppression
Kidnapping, torture and experimenting on humans have
become routine. Additionally, artificial economic
hardship and fabricated conflicts served to further
suppress the hard working population and turn it into
an excellent soil for growing more slaves.
Nothing like good ole’ mystery to nail anybody fast to
the floor. If you check it you’ll find out that it’s
also the CHEAPEST way: they’ll convince you there’s
some mystery, and you do the rest of the work. In
accordance with this principle, mystery was used and
activated in any possible way. Take for instance, the
Broken Pyramid:
Konti-Polo, or the “Broken Pyramid” in English, was
pre-fabricated
as a broken pyramid, or more correctly BITTEN.
When you go out shepherding in the desert and you look
toward home, you may contemplate its shape and get the
idea that some giant creature has bitten off the top
of this large pyramid. If then it is gathered that you
are afraid, you get rewarded by a certain pleasant
current through the gland’s feedback. Everything is
monitored and statistics are collected in the Zone’s
control room computers.
And so, with the courtesy of the gland, they
encouraged fear of the unknown, of something you have
no information about. Only
THERE IS NO freaking information! You ask
yourself: Who has bitten my home? Will it come back
tonight? Will my children survive its terrible bite?
Will I survive to see the light of day??? But you already have the
answers – and they are ridiculously simple!
More pseudo-archeological puzzles of “historic value”
were planted around, and such were the dry dragons
scattered along the multi-lane road leading to the
Ancient City (see map).
Even the Ancient City by itself – that nobody
knew anything about other than its name: Darryn-Polo.
Actually it’s not even a name but an expression in the
local language, saying only ‘ancient place’ thus it’s
got no special meaning and this only ADDS to the
mystery: it makes no sense that such a big modern road
would be paved to lead nowhere…
Into the culture infiltrated, not by mere chance,
illogical rules that you may not contemplate the
validity of – which is only natural to every human
being, even if he’s not a born rebel. Like you were
forbidden to ask out loud about the existential
riddles (e.g., uniform names for the entire family)
and then if you have already asked then others were
not allowed to answer you other than giving you the
“Shut-up & Think Punishment” (STP). Or the strange
law that allows you to change your name when you reach
adolescence – but it must pass the approval of the
Wise Men Council; what’s the use of such “free
choice?” Well you tell me…
Also forbidden was the free use of information and
communications technologies, such as: photography,
investigations or unlicensed private research,
uncensored art, etc. Anything liable to accidentally
expose the truth was somehow defined as crime against
society.
Existential riddles down every hole in the map. Take
the term “Moon Gate” for example. The Desert of the
Dry Dragons is lit by TWO suns – but never a single
moon in sight! There happens to be no such thing in
this particular solar system. Such a term is liable to
make you think: “I’m the dummy here that misses out on
something important...”
There’s more. Instead of saying ‘years’ they trained
you to refer to years as ‘light-years.’ But the real
term (see WikiPedia)
actually means the DISTANCE that light passes in a
year; it has the word 'years' but it’s not a time
unit! This confuses you and you’re sucked
once more into the “I’m the idiot” trap.
Many, or actually most all enterprises of independent
thinking, were private enterprises of individuals, not
movements under the leadership of this or that person.
For instance, the discovery that the dry dragons were
nothing but electrified dummies, was made by
dynamic youngsters who got interested from time to
time and found out on their own. In the extreme they
MADE UP THEIR OWN MINDS and gathered a tiny group in
order to escape the pyramid and march along the road,
cloaked by the dark of night.
For entertainment and challenge, these teenagers would
blow up dragons by throwing metal sticks at them,
while hiding behind the road’s guardrail.
Although these were all private gatherings, these
youngsters were always accused as belonging to the
dangerous subversive cult “The Dragon Slayers”
supposedly planning to convert everybody else to
Dragon Slayers. Gay Trenzich invented this cult story
in order to condemn beforehand any potential attempt
to establish such rebel opposition. The dedicated
scientist also made sure to publish giant warning ads
about this, and warned local religious leaders of any
activity of the Dragon Slayers – “the most dangerous
cult in the history of the desert.”
Additional Factors of Mystery and Suppression
The Psychographs were very busy cutting off
communication between the people themselves, in any
way they saw fit. This served their purposes in two
major ways:
- Deepening the mystery and lack of knowledge
served to conceal the goals of the snake and his
scientists.
- On top of that, there was also abuse for the sake
of abuse, under the guise of “scientific”
experiment, technological progress for Imperial
benefits, and financial profits.
At this point it is important to stress: Snake’s
mercenaries (mostly from Snake Planet) acted under
threat to their lives and the lives of their families
back home. But the Psychographs and Billy G. acted
their actions VOLUNTARILY. Yes, they did get salaries
and good living conditions and all, but they did not
have to serve Poison Snakes, or any of his lot for
that matter.
They took very doubtful “professional satisfaction”
out of the experiment, because it answered their deep
dark needs to harm their fellowman – if possible under
the guise of help, and even more so for a fat salary…
The story of the Holy and Irreplaceable Body
Another suppression factor through mystery, or more
correctly REVERSAL OF IMPORTANCE was this:
The Psychographs gradually turned the body to a
sacred object, more important than the spirit and
interpersonal relationships. They turned the BRAIN (a
mere organ) into a basic characteristic of the
individual. Which meant, you’re stuck with your brain
with no escape.
“You are also stuck with your body and
there will never be any replacement, ever. When
the body is gone – you’re finished just as
well.”
This is not only a lie – it is a rude and despicable
lie! It pushes you into the sticky mud of “no way
out.”
The Story of Evil
The Psychographs, with the help of religious
leaders, convinced the people that they were basically
evil. In the initial stages of the experiment it has
become obvious to the scientists that they wouldn’t be
able to do this through the gland alone. Not with the
current model anyway. Therefore they forwarded this
purpose by continual destruction of moral values, and
above all the moral value of using your own mind and
common sense.
People got used to perform acts that they do not think
to be proper or good for them – and so it became easy
to convince them they were basically bad. This was
done with endless sermons that were accusative and
degrading to the listener. They attacked cream pie
fights, blasting off dry dragons, “silly” dancing,
interracial and interclass romance, or even...
children behaving like children!!!!!
In fact, most everything that was good and positive
was attached WITH trivial commandments such as “Do Not
Murder.” In this salad it was very hard to know right
from wrong, and almost anything you really wanted to
do – violated some law or authority.
The Story of the Prize for Laziness
The Psychographs gave you a prize if you only agreed
to be a quiet and lousy obedient, such who would not
move or get in anyone’s way. Lifetime pension if you
agreed to be a “professional job seeker” and turn away
any job offer. But each one!! The pension was given
free out of a deep-pocket fund, which was being funded
by the Zone Treasury (which, in turn, came out of the
Royal budget stolen from Gay Kucken).
However, the conditions were tough: YOU MUST NOT
WORK! Your gland would be monitored directly to the
control center, and measure your general morale. The
(true) assumption was that if your moral rose and
you’re happy, then you must have chosen something
productive or worthwhile, or that you have answered
some job offer, even if voluntarily. Immediately
you’ll be sent a painful feedback as punishment. If
this goes on for awhile or occurs several times
acutely, the person who is on such a contract is sent
to re-education in the Zone.
The Story of Modern Language
From all this education per the principles of
Psychography, some of its terms have turned colloquial
amongst the pyramid tribes. Examples were many; here
are a few highlights:
WHEN THEY
SAY: “It’s only Psychographic...”
|
THEY MEAN:
You’re only imagining it! |
WHEN THEY
SAY: “It has a Psychographic effect...” |
THEY MEAN:
You are mentally affected. |
BUT WHEN
THEY SAY: “The Psychographic value of…” |
– well, this
means nothing! It’s nothing but Psychographs'
mumbo-jumbo (nonsense talk). |
