Partly, we common people are guilty too because many are living ignorant lives, refusing to see the truth, it's that blind consumerism you're talking about.
That is partly why I started this thread-- to share my ideas to those willing to consider them. It gives people a chance to enlighten themselves if they are open and looking for answers.
The only solution for ignorance is education. If the entire population knew the truth of how things really are, then they would stand up for themselves. But if people
don't know, then of course they won't do anything about it.
People like Ron Paul, Mike Maloney*, Satoshi Nakamoto, Thrive**, are heroes because they are educating the masses on the truth and getting rid of ignorance as much as they are able to.
Those individuals are contributing to an educated population and in that way they are fighting against oppression in the most powerful way possible.
Ideas and knowledge are powerful-- if they are known, and known by enough people.
*Again, this is Mike Maloney for those who don't know:

You'll tell I'm crazy, but I even do believe in Lizards (which are actually human-alien hybrids), and even time-travel and parallel dimensions.
I think it shows that your mind is not closed off to new ideas, which is a good thing. I agree with you. I think anything is possible and it doesn't do me any good to be close-minded to possibilities.
I will watch that, thanks.
