How Can We Free Ourselves When We Don’t Realize We Are Enslaved?

Question by jeremy: How can we free ourselves when we don’t realize we are enslaved?
Johann von Goethe once wrote that “none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” No words could more accurately capture the plight of the American people. Having been indoctrinated for so long in their government-approved schools, Americans rank among the most enslaved people in history. And their denial of reality does not free them. It simply produces a psychosis marked by high levels of alcohol and other drug addiction.

Ever since the Progressive Era, American journalism mostly has been about the promotion of government. For all of the blather about the mainstream press serving as a “watchdog of government,” most journalists—and especially those who are “prestigious”—are little more than political operatives, along with being cheerleaders for the growth of the state. The alleged watchdogs of the state in reality are government’s lapdogs.
