The world appears that way to you and me because we are the governed we are like cows to be milked taxed , herded , and sometimes slaughtered . What we see and experience is a facade , an illusion of reality . Did you watch Eyes Wide Shut ? You asked for references and I gave them to you . At least have the decency to look at them . It will open your eyes . The conflict is not white vs . black , Jew vs . Muslim , Protestant vs . Catholic . These are just distractions to keep us from fighting the real enemy . The fight is the super rich vs . everyone else . When I say super rich , I am not talking about billionaires . I am talking about the trillionaires that print the currency . I am an Atheist , so I understand your point . However , if you read about Lucifer , you will see that he wants to be a God . That is why these people worship him . They also want to be gods gods of this material world . Understanding what THEY believe will give you insight into how they behave .
