There are more Slaves now, than at any other point in our history.
In America it's a hard topic for us to wrap our heads around. It's when we try to uncover how we got to this point, that the lies become highly visible.
Let me just start by saying, Slavery is bad. All of it, and people should be living with the autonomous freedom and property rights that are needed to self sustain, and potentially prosper. Being an American, and especially one born and raised in the 1980’s and 90’s, living in a poor Florida suburb, I can honestly say that I saw America when it was still working “for” the good of the American people. It may not have been really doing it, but at least it looked, and felt that way.
The freedom was on tap everywhere in America, it was like a cheap local beer. Anyone could get their hands on it, and easily afford it. Because of that abundance lots of people abused it and took it way too far. The very same idiots that are the reason for plastic bags having the printed warning on them: This bag is not a toy, are the very engine that drove us to this point. Stuck in a situation, where we have begun to degenerate into the very Satire we once made fun of. For instance, the written screenplay for the Movie “Idiocracy” was supposed to be a satirical joke, not a handbook for the future. Yet….
We have to seriously ask ourselves this, if they are the ones that are pushing the broken system of a bus that we are all trapped on, how much farther before it gets pushed off of a cliff?
When will we all look around, and finally go “Holy Shit”? Will it happen when it's too late, or when we can still do something to fix it. That was rhetorical, notice the lack of a ☝️ question mark. It's not because I think it will be too late before people notice. It's because people noticed that this was happening long ago, and if they spoke up, they were silenced. Remember Abe Lincoln, J.F.K., and R.F.K., they also noticed. When they said something, and made a plan to stop it, the powers that be felt strongly in the direction of opposition.
Ending slavery, and large portions of the global drug trade was not profitable for them. They had a different plan you see, one to keep the people ignorant of these matters. As a simple distraction, these powerful interests provided the public with lots of drama, and emotionally driven propaganda.

Slavery still exists because of our wasteful way of life. Luxury, abundance, lavish homes, and vehicles, and the newest fashion trends, along with ushering ourselves into a new AI technology lifestyle, keep pushing it down the road. The fabrics and plastics needed, the rare earth metals, and the demand for it all to be cheap for the mega producers, has pushed slavery to new heights. All of the stuff needed to make these modern lives a reality, is the very reason that slavery still exists.
There is not a search engine on earth that can hide it, this is partially because of how large of a phenomenon it still is. They can however choose which results they want you to see. They might show you results that say one thing, while giving your neighbor the opposite. Leaving both of them sure that they know the facts, when in reality they both may have been mislead. The public is now in a situation where their division, and growing possibility of conflict, is the only obvious motive for these differing results. This is the new information war. The fight for the control of AI, is the fight for the control of the whole worlds very perception of reality.
How does this relate to modern slavery?
When you don't know that you are a slave, or that freedom is even an option, they already have you trapped. The fact that they control the flow of information, and are using AI to keep people ignorant to the facts, and divided from each other in one way or another, is how it all ties together. For instance, if you were to discover today that the Chinese government has imprisoned and enslaved Tibetan Buddhists, and is currently using them for slave labor to produce consumer goods, what would you do? Would you speak out against it? If so, then how? Would you use a computer, cell phone, or your webcam to spread the message?
Let's just say that you had an all ethically sourced set of electronics, and broadcast tools. You made your video, or wrote your article, then what? You Share it on TikTok, or post it online somewhere else, and you think the AI is going to just lead a large audience right to it. We all know that's not going to happen. Especially when we factor in the American Government already being well aware of the modern slavery, and still doing nothing to help the slaves. Along with the governments awareness of the AI guided division and the censorship. It almost appears that our government is helping the slavers, and not the slaves. 🤷🏼♂️
As I sit here hypocritically writing an article on my very own electronic device, one obviously made with slave labor, with the intent on publishing it, and then people actually finding it, I'm laughing. We can all resist and fight against this in our own small ways, but what will it change? It would take all of us standing up and speaking out, to make our government address the issue. Even then can we trust that they will truly fix it, or would they just do something instead like create some video propaganda to make it look like they did. Again, that was clearly rhetorical.
In America and Europe, we have become such good little consumers that slavery no longer matters to us. At least not in a way that we feel compelled to boycott or reject the companies utilizing it. This really makes me wonder, how did we get here? How did we go from fighting an empire over a half a penny in taxes, to being a country full of hypocrites, bullshit artists, and pussies, who won't even stand up to defend our own rights, let alone for the rights of others.
Thank you for reading.
