The beast is the state. It's a terrible monster with enormous powers. However, it's a horribly deformed thing, incoherent and confused. Most of its energy is wasted on internal squabbles where one organ lashes out at another. Only those directly in its path get killed and maimed as it wobbles around with little to no direction. Once we understand the beast, we find that there are all sorts of ways to avoid it.
Our fear and awe of the beast is misplaced. It's anything but intelligent, and there is no way for it to actually do the things it claims itself capable of. The idea that it can surveillance every single individual is complete nonsense. There's simply no way to do that, regardless of how much equipment and technology is thrown into such a project. The reason for this is complexity.
We all know the complexity involved in keeping a family unit together. All sorts of things happen. The head of the family doesn't know half the things going on. The unit is kept together solely due to trust, love and convenience. Raw power has very little to do with it.
Now, imagine two families acting together. The complexity goes from high to enormous. With three families and more, no amount of surveillance and data processing can tell anybody what's going on beyond the obvious and superficial. So we know with certainty that the beast knows close to nothing, and that it cannot in any way predict the future. When we read articles about "predictive programming" and "draconian surveillance", we know that it cannot possibly work. At most, there will be a few individuals caught in its web, and those will be mostly among people internal to the beast itself.
This fact is constantly being suppressed and ignored, often by those supposedly opposed to the beast. But the beast itself knows full well of its limitations. It knows that it only has power as long as people fear it, and act in compliance with its rules. It also knows that fear and admiration are closely connected in the psyche of the public. Many find comfort in the thought that the beast is keeping certain neighbours hostage to its will. They speak fondly of the will of the people, which in reality is the will of the beast. That is, until the boot is on the other foot. Then, suddenly they fear the beast.
The beast thrives in chaos. It comes up with grand schemes that appeal to some, and revolt others. These schemes unfold in grand cycles with four parts, corresponding to the four horsemen of the apocalypse. First, there's a grand idea. Second, there's strife and war as the idea is pushed onto those reluctant to accept it. Third, terrible imbalances appear, with some people becoming extremely rich while most people struggle to get by. Forth, there is collapse, and death to those hopelessly tied to the system.
The grand idea of our times is the welfare state which has given rise to perpetual war, financed through central banking. This has in turn created enormous inequalities that will soon usher in the final horseman. We are in the late cycle stage. Those still in awe of the beast will soon discover how empty and toothless it is. All its promises will be broken. Anyone betting their old age and good health on the benevolent nature of the beast will be sorely disappointed.
Conversely, those who've left the system will discover how harmless the beast is for all who stay away from it. Three years into my escape, I'm more prosperous than ever. The beast has allotted itself more resources and new powers in order to fight tax evasion, but I can't say I'm worried. All this power and money will be wasted internally. The reorganization will take years to complete. There's still plenty of room to escape for those who'd like to free themselves from their shackles of compliance and obedience to the beast.
Our first step to liberty is simple, and involves no risk. All it entails is a conscious decision to seek liberty, rather than obedience to the beast. Once that decision has been properly interiorized, the rest follows naturally. We find likeminded people. We trade with them, and we prosper. We welcome every opportunity to distance ourselves from the system. We save in gold and silver. Paper money is for slaves, not for free citizens. While practical in everyday life, paper money is nothing to covet. It has no lasting value and must therefore be kept only as a short to medium term resource.
