In today’s day and age it is hard for us to imagine “Slavery”, and yet it is happening right before our eyes, we have an epidemic of sex slaves powered by an obscure underground community and the high demand for pornography. And yet we go about our day as if there is nothing happening, or do we even think about it? What we as a society have failed to realize is that we ourselves are Slaves! How? Think about it for a second, the average person gets up at 5am, if not even earlier to prepare for the work day that lies ahead for them. We spend the majority of our lives working while getting paid and collecting minimal benefits from the corporations that demand so much of us! We have been brainwashed into believing that this day in, day out routine of going off to work is doing the “right thing.” We are separated from our loved ones to spend the majority of our time with people that we otherwise would not care to even be around. During these long hours we are dealing with high stress and the constant politics of the workplace, in which, some of us will even find ourselves in situations doing things or acting in ways that we don’t even believe in. All because we have a desire to show our potential, or even more so, for fear of loosing that job. One of the biggest lies is what happened to force the country into a Civil war in 1861; they will tell us that “it was to free the slaves” but the truth is When the North won the Civil War it (as intended) began enforcing the rapid industrialization of America nationwide. The industrial revolution would begin a new era of legal slavery as companies began employing blacks and whites alike to perform manual labor in these industrial plants, for very small pay. The new term for slavery was born “the working class”. The so called “working class” was starving to death! How was this any different than slavery? The industrial revolution was nothing more than legalized modern slavery. The Civil War did not serve to unite the country or to free anyone. The Civil War was fought to power greed, it was necessary to have the men that were tied up in the agricultural sector of the country in order to use them to work in factories across America! But the south was not going to just hand over what were their constitutional rights! Can you imagine back in the 1800’s white men fighting, brothers against brothers in the bloodiest war in the history of our nation fighting to free the black man? No, not in that era! Yes there were people with moral conscious minds but as far as the Civil War, it was for power and control! Check out Alvin Toffler “The third wave”.
Realistically thinking, Is it not true that most wars are fought over money and power and not fought to free the lowest classes of a society? “The working man” is only needed to labor for the production of a company’s products or services only to be sold back to the same people that just finished putting their all into it.
