Now, I do think there is a psychodynamic aspect to this. Evil is tension, more or less. It is the inability to relax, to allow energy to flow spontaneously. And as I relax, and release it, there are bound to be dreams about it. In this sense, this sort of dream is a positive. It is something which WAS inside of me, and is now outside.
You cannot normally see the evil inside of you. It is disguised within ideology, religion, morality. It knows how to hide, how to make itself respectable, presentable.
But there is evil in this world, too. It is the horrific and insane need so many people feel to march in lockstep, to perform like hypnotized dancing monkeys on a stage. It is ironic that the worse offenders, in general, are the alleged members of the “counter-culture.”, of the self identifying “Progressives”. They believe nothing, but think themselves the purveyers of something good.
Ponder this story
The communist country’s social credit rating, set to be “fully operational” in 2020, will track all 1.4 billion citizens and assign them each an ever-changing score, ranging from 0 to 800, that factors into their everyday lives.
For example, Hua is one of an estimated 10 million Chinse citizens with a bad rating after he was arrested and jailed for accusing high-level officials of corruption and for publishing details of misconduct by authorities on his popular website.
Hua has been banned from traveling via airplane or train and has had his social media accounts with millions of followers suspended.
The Globe and Mail reports Hua “has been barred from buying property, taking out a loan or traveling on the country’s top-tier trains.”

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has met with the czar of China’s internet censorship system and other propaganda chiefs on numerous occasions and is working with the oppressive regime to suppress the Chinese people.
Like Hua, Alex Jones and Infowars have been nearly wiped off the internet by big tech and social media sites in an increasingly authoritarian free-speech crackdown.
Also, Google, who kicked Alex Jones and Infowars off YouTube, is currently working with China to develop a censored search engine the government can fully control.
It’s possible that one day Google could use the Chinese model in the United States, for example, to block pro-Trump material as it is well known the company has a left-leaning bias.
There was a time when self identifying “Liberals” would have opposed this. They would have said they were Liberals because they wanted MORE justice, not less, MORE freedom, not less, MORE information and transparency, not less.
But it is not hard to see what Google and Facebook (and presumably others, since they seem to flock together–actually Apple would be on this list too) are doing as practice for what they want to do in the United States.
Recall that, for reasons which are inexplicable to me, most of these people seem to sincerely believe in global warming. They believe in One World government. If they were given a choice between endlessly renewable energy, the ability to create a global command and control structure, and the technology to make the world more emotionally intelligent, they would, in my view, choose the second option.
Most of these people, functionally–the leaders–are high functioning Aspergers or autistic spectrum. This is a virtual requirement of being able to spend 80 hours a week for years on end with mind crushingly dull coding, which is required for most tech progress.
They are, in the understatement of the year, not “people” people. People are numbers to them. They are unreal. And these people have a latent hegemonic control over nearly all our information. They are our eyes on the world, in important ways. They allow us to see all the abstract trends, all the distant news, which we cannot see in our own homogenized streets of Walmarts, Kroger/Safeways, and Walgreens. You yourself, driving down your street, can see almost nothing. You need them, particularly since most of the local newspapers are on their last legs.
You do have local TV news, but as a general rule they are not particularly able, and a great many are owned by national conglomerates. Remember this?
I was dreaming about the Founding Fathers last night. It is later than you think. If you are not scared about what is possible, you lack some combination of intelligence, courage, and imagination.
