Welcome to the Red Pill Diary, a monthly column that will challenge those of you who already see the truth to grow stronger and come forward. For those who don’t already see the truth, maybe you’ll learn something. Or maybe not.

What this column won’t be is a wine-and-cheese fest of liberal whining and pseudo-intellectual gossip. This will not be weeping and ranting about men and women dying for oil, nor about children dying in schools while you drink too much soda. It will not be a cry to rally the troops to have more picnics that block off the interstate. In this column I won’t focus on weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein.

The column won’t debate the issue of pre-emptive strikes, nor the strategic importance of American shadow governments in the Middle East. It will not attempt to focus any spotlight on the hypocrisy behind U.S. policy toward North Korea or China, and it will not demand a dramatic overhaul of U.S. foreign policy in general. Here, there will not be any Communist Manifesto or Nuevo socialist rhetoric about misplaced tax cuts and the war on the lower class.

I will not try and talk you out of being complacent cattle addicted to a self-destructive consumerist culture. In short, I will not attempt to misdirect the argument toward topics that narrow the playing field and miss the big picture, a big picture that unifies all of the above, removes the left and the right, and brings it all to center focus where we see your vomit and tears from the nuclear, chemical and biological party poppers going off on your doorstep, vomit and tears that fall on the bloody stump of human liberty, truth and justice.

See, the lights have been turned off in your world, and the long arms of your fear and desperation are reaching out into the darkness for truth, only to be turned around in the maze of deception and distraction so that they return to choke you. In other words, you’re being lied to, as is everyone else in this libertine culture of consumerist sheep, led to the figurative slaughterhouse by a government who has pulled the wool from your very own fleece over your eyes. Where do the lies of our leadership come from? And after you’ve learned of the truth, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

What IS the truth, and who decides it’s true? Common sense tells us that history is most definitely written by the ones who win the wars. So in this world nothing is what it seems. Everything you ever knew washes away with the first drop of blood you shed. And when you’re the one that's bleeding, the time for games is over, and reality sets in. For most people though, reality doesn't dawn on them until their hands are in the meat grinder, and not for some until the grinder has at least reached their elbows. Funny how that works. One day you think you’re getting ahead, but what you don't realize is that there is a system, and by design, it cuts your throat little by little. All the while it’s tempting you with an endless array of pathetic, fleeting satisfactions while you continue to be thankful for its generous gifts; until one day, you wake up intellectually comatose, unable to discern the facts from the propaganda!

Oh, but you don't care! “Live life to the fullest!” you say. “If it feels good do it!” or “what do I have to lose?” And from there, it's all about me me me, and so on. In your self-righteous delusion you’re being sucked dry, and you never cared to see. You’re happy to lay back and let your freedom slip away. You think you're free, but you're a slave to your own mind. But not so quick, dear reader – don’t let your arrogance kill you. It’s time to wake up and smell the laughing gas!

We strive for truth in our lives, on our TVs, and in our minds. We – that’s all of us - are dying for some semblance of fact, so we can grasp onto it for dear life, hoping if we just get enough of it we'll understand "why". From reality TV and Faces of Death to Cops and CNN, we scan the channels searching for some real information, some real meaning, something that hasn't been regurgitated onto our plates and arranged in a way pleasing to the eye, but completely useless in our search for the truth.

In this column, that’s what you’ll be served – the truth. Every month I’ll be handing you, on a silver platter, a fine dose of the truth, unadulterated and un-obscured with the sauces of our government’s spin. But for starters, check out these web sites listed below so you’ll be prepared for the truths about reality that I will be revealing to you, month by month. And until then, keep your eyes open and see mainstream media for what it really is – a propaganda machine, that proverbial meat grinder eating away at your awareness.
