SiTU-memo: On MINDCONTROL
By the will of one, all or nothing shall be done.
When you want to use some-one else's brain and programmed actions of human beings as part of your achievements and strategy, you have to considered that this is a very delicate process. Ancient techniques are almost forgotten and you need a lot of power (money, influence) to play a role. Most seats are taken. They say that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The experiments in this universe were in their final phase. Soon they would realise that everything had been shrinking and condensing in a way, they could not understand. To distract them and keeping them from drawing significant conclusions, their mindsets had to be continously reinforced, to perceive the world as something normal. Television and cinema had been quite useful. But the system desintegrated. People had too much room for their own choices and far too much money to spend on this terrain. It brought a lot of money, selling and reselling old stuff again and again. Every time promising the consumers to bring them closer to reality. Not the reality of the world, but the reality of entertaining and distraction. Couch potatoes. But to really get into some-one's mind, you have to program him on a regular basis. In church for instance or during the weather report. Sports always had a lot of possibilities, especially football. What once was a looked upon activity from the lower classes and slaves, had been transformed in a independent universe, filled with money, glamor and power. Much money had been invested in colossal stadiums where the games were played. There were only seats available and people were paying a substantial amount of money to sit on these chairs. What they did not know, that the chairs were wired. Every emotion of the occupant could be monitored. On the other hand the supporter's emotions could be manipulated. Euphoria or despair, you just had to push the right buttons. But that was only the beginning. The whole stadium was one big machine, best to be compared to the famous starship Enterprise.
Why they do that. Well it all about power, money, glamor and hysteria. A growing industry to distract humankind. But the main purpose is betting. You understand, what the super-rich do to come through the day? They bet. Sports is like Las Vegas to them and the super-rich cannot loose!.
