Reporters feel it. Editors who assign reporters stories feel it. Even CEOs can feel it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It happens when a story is about to break through containment and show the public that a cherished belief or institution is as phony as a three dollar bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Bells start ringing. Red flags go up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Time to pull back. Time to lie. Time to pretend there is nothing to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">If not, jobs will be on the line. Heads will roll. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The JFK assassination was that kind of story. 9\/11 is that kind of story. <span style=\"color:#000080;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jonrappoport.wordpress.com\/2012\/03\/08\/anatomy-of-a-conspiracy\/\" >The true statistic on medically caused death in America is that kind of story<\/a><\/span><\/span>. Such stories are not permitted to be exposed in the mainstream. And by exposed, I mean \u201cpounded on, ripped from stem to stern, day after day, revealing true conspiracies and heinous crimes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Instead, false fronts are erected. Cover stories are built and sold to the masses. A secret faith is kept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">There are so many false fronts in so many areas of life that, woven together, they form an overall picture of reality. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">When people buy this picture, the price they pay is very steep. They sacrifice their capacity to invent their own futures. They lose touch with their own imaginations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">They live within a defined space that grows smaller as they grow older. They compromise their core freedom again and again. They train themselves to \u201cfit in.\u201d In fact, they become experts at fitting in, right down to what they will allow themselves to think. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">They lose the desire to express their freedom. Their physical health suffers and deteriorates. Their energy drains away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I\u2019ve known several mainstream reporters who felt they were on the verge of a breakthrough in their work. They were investigating major stories that, when published, would punch a hole in the picture of mass reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">These reporters felt like explorers who had found a buried treasure at the end of a long and arduous journey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Then the bells went off and the red flags went up. Editors shut them down. The editors, said, \u201cWe can\u2019t touch this one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">So the reporters stopped in their tracks. They buried their files. They put themselves in harness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">This is what happens to many, many people in their lives. They suddenly sniff the air of real freedom and discovery. They climb out of the morass called consensus reality, and know why they are alive. And then they think, \u201cWhat will happen if I break the pledge to remain a normal and average person? How will my friends and family and co-workers react?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">They pause. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Then they retreat. They adjust. They go back to their former role of fitting in. Their friends and family breathe a sigh of relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">For a moment or two, a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual crossroad had been reached. A person saw beyond the picture of ordinary reality. He saw huge open space. He knew he could act on the basis of an inner leverage that defied the laws of the material world. He knew there was a greater power within him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">But no\u2026he wouldn\u2019t take such a path. He would buy the reality created for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And then one day:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">THE REALITY SALESMAN CALLS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Step up, folks. This is a deal you can\u2019t afford to miss. You know that thing you cling to like a drowning man in a turbulent sea?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It\u2019s called reality, and I represent the company that manufactures it. I\u2019m proud to say I\u2019ve held this job for over a hundred thousand years. So as far as product knowledge is concerned, you just aren\u2019t going to find anybody like me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I\u2019m here to tell you that reality is never anything more than rocks and bricks and concrete and steel. Reality is never anything more than a house and all the things in it, and the mementos you hold on to, to remind you of the past. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And in conjunction with that, I\u2019m really selling\u2026guess what? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">A little thing called perception. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I\u2019m selling How You See Things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Because, no matter what time period you live in, it all comes down to that: how you see what\u2019s in front of you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And believe it or not, perception comes in different forms. My company makes the perception that endures. It\u2019s the package you\u2019re living with right now. It\u2019s the down-to-earth here-it-is straight-ahead common-sense type. We call it: IT IS WHAT IT IS. That\u2019s trademarked, by the way. ISWII. It is what it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">ISWII was invented by a very smart guy whose name has been long forgotten. He was a flaming genius, and he realized something great. People would go for ISWII because it would lock them in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Who wants to wake up on a Tuesday morning and suddenly see life in a completely different way? Who wants that kind of shock to the system? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">ISWII is the most popular perception package in the universe, bar none. It has Reliability. Consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">All those centuries and epochs ago, when I was a rookie training for this job, the guys let me try on a whole bunch of different perception packages, so I could see what kind of competition I was up against. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I saw things I wouldn\u2019t want to describe to you. Horrible things. And when I was given ISWII, our product, I felt like I was home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">ISWII gives you a stability you can count on for your whole life. And, believe me, that\u2019s no small feat. We\u2019ve built slow decay (SD) into the package, so things gradually deteriorate\u2013because, think about it, do you really want that tree in your back yard to stay at one stage of growth forever? Do you? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">ISWII is time-tested. It\u2019s as solid as solid can be. It doesn\u2019t break down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">But it does need vaccine boosters from time to time, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m here today talking to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Every twenty thousand years, we institute a planet-wide upgrade, just to make sure nothing goes wrong. And you\u2019re all due.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Now, you could refuse, in which case you\u2019ll have to take full responsibility for the ugly consequences, or you could do the right thing and just re-up. I have to tell you, our re-up rate is 99.859 percent. I\u2019m proud of that figure. <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a title=\"Exit From the Matrix\" href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/exit-from-the-matrix\/\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-3550\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3550\" alt=\"Exit From the Matrix\" src=\"http:\/\/jonrappoport.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/matrix-exit1.jpg?w=300\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">By the way, the holdouts, the deniers, and the self-styled rebels? The governments of your planet keep close track of them. I feel obligated to let you know that. Without boosters, when your ISWII breaks down, you\u2019re going to experience some things other people just won\u2019t understand. And your governments will hunt you down and lock you up, or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">That\u2019s not my doing, because I believe in the free market, but it\u2019s part of my service to clue you into the whole picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Here\u2019s the good part. You can get your vaccine booster now, during our pre-op special, by simply signing for it and taking the pledge, and continuing to pay a mere six percent of of your annual income for the rest of your lives. Which when you think about it, is nothing compared with what you\u2019re getting. Again, reliability, and consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">In the small print, the pledge lays out a few details concerning IMAGINATION. This is for your own protection\u2013because if you take imagination too far (and who knows how far that is, until it\u2019s too late), you\u2019ll set up what we call an interference field, which means ISWII will tend to malfunction. You don\u2019t want that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">So here\u2019s the contract and the pledge. Sign on the dotted line, and pay the fee, and we\u2019re done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Thank you very much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I love you guys. Really, I do. I admire your tenacity and your willingness to stay with our package. Our company continues to prosper because of you. Visit the ISWII website and Facebook page and find out about upcoming picnics and vacation tours. We\u2019re hosting booster events at thousands of locations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">If you don\u2019t come to us, we\u2019ll come to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">We\u2019ve got you on our list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">THE PLEDGE: <\/span><strong>\u201c<\/strong><strong><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I promise not to mess with the perception package. When I take this vaccine that installs and boosts the package, I understand that I must report all suspicious activity to Central Planning. If I believe someone is operating outside the boundaries of the package, spewing strange ideas, defecting, I will report him or her promptly. If I myself stray, I will turn myself in and receive treatment. If not, I understand I will be hunted down like a dog. All hail to the ISWII perception package!\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The reality salesman knows what he\u2019s doing. He makes a very good living. Secretly, he knows our perception of our own lives and futures is grossly limited by his product, just as our eyes can only see part of the light spectrum. He is aware of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">He\u2019s selling limitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">He works for a set of controllers. The controllers have long since realized that the package they\u2019re selling cements their hegemony and their power. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The one crack in their armor is our inner conviction that we can create new realities that go beyond what we ordinarily perceive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And so they do everything in their power to indoctrinate us in a planetary cult of self-regulation, wherein we try to pull down \u201cdefectors\u201d and rebels into a common swamp of acceptance and acquiescence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">In other words, the controllers need us to police ourselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And this is called Life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It\u2019s essentially a cartoon. Yes, it can be a vicious and nasty and inhibiting animation, but it\u2019s a cartoon nonetheless, when is all is said and done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Whether we sit still for it or break out is entirely up to us. It\u2019s our choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Jon Rappoport<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The author of two explosive collections, <span style=\"color:#000080;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/the-matrix-revealed-vol-1-cd-by-jon-rappoport-mega-info\/\" ><span style=\"font-size:large;\">THE MATRIX REVEALED<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> and <span style=\"color:#000080;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/exit-from-the-matrix\/\" ><span style=\"font-size:large;\">EXIT FROM THE MATRIX<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>, Jon was a candidate for a US Congressional seat in the 29<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size:large;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size:large;\"> District of California.
