A good friend, Horselover, emailed me a transcript of the Alex Jones monologue from Waking Life. Where he got it I don’t know. He has strange powers. Here it is:
-
You can’t fight city hall. Death and taxes. Don’t talk about politics and religion. This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line. Lay down G.I., lay down G.I. We saw it all through the 20th century and now in the 21st century it’s time to stand up and realize that we should not allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze. We should not submit to dehumanization. I don’t know about you but I’m concerned with what’s happening in this world. I’m concerned with the structure. I’m concerned with the systems of control. Those that control my life and those seek to control it even more. I want freedom, that’s what I want and that’s what you should want. It’s up to each and every one of us to turn loose of just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes the insecurities, because that is a simple mode of control, make us feel pathetic, small, so we’ll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny.
We have got to realize that we’re being conditioned on a mass scale. Start challenging this corporate slave state. The 21st century’s going to be a new century. Not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues with no significance but classism and statism, and all the rest of the modes of control. It’s going to be the age of humankind standing up for something pure and something right. Not a bunch of garbage — liberal democrat, conservative republican; it’s all there to control you, two sides of the same coin, two management teams bidding for control of the CEO job of Slavery, Inc. The truth is out there in front of you but they lay out this buffet of lies. I’M SICK OF IT AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE A BITE OUT OF IT! DO YOU GOT ME?!
Resistance is not futile, we’re going to win this thing. Humankind is too good, we’re not a bunch of underachievers. We’re going to stand up and we’re going to be human beings. We’re going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter, creativity and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.
Well that’s it, that’s all I got to say.
