Being awake is not the blessing many believe it to be—it’s a curse of clarity in a world cloaked in deceit. Before the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, I was already aware of the illusions spun by the elite, but what followed during the pandemic confirmed my worst fears. This blog isn’t about conspiracy theories—it’s about truths hidden in plain sight, ignored by a distracted and divided world.
The COVID-19 Lab Origin: Facts and Suppression
Before the world came to a standstill, I was one of those voices trying to warn people: COVID-19 wasn’t some random natural occurrence. Evidence pointed to its origins in a lab. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was long suspected of risky gain-of-function research, a fact corroborated by reputable sources like The Wall Street Journal and whistleblowers who dared to speak out. Yet the media smeared such claims as conspiracy theories—until, of course, they couldn’t anymore.
Even mainstream outlets like CBS and CNN eventually admitted that lab origins were “possible.” By then, millions had already rolled up their sleeves, trusting a rushed vaccine promoted as the only salvation. But was it salvation—or manipulation?
The Vaccine Agenda: What They Didn’t Tell You
Governments and corporations rallied behind the vaccines, silencing any dissent. Pfizer’s CEO initially claimed the vaccines were “100% effective,” yet subsequent studies showed declining efficacy and concerning side effects. Remember the Johnson & Johnson recall for blood clots? How about the countless reports of myocarditis among young people? These aren’t baseless accusations—they’re documented events brushed aside in the rush to “get back to normal.”
The question is: Who benefited from the chaos? The pharmaceutical giants reaped billions, while governments tightened their control, introducing vaccine passports and mandates that eroded personal freedoms.
The Illusion of Freedom and the 1%
The COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t just a public health crisis—it was a global stage for the 1% to solidify their power. The illusion of freedom is their greatest weapon. They pit us against each other—vaccinated vs. unvaccinated, left vs. right, rich vs. poor—while they remain untouched by the chaos.
Here are 20 examples of how the elite manipulate us:
- The Federal Reserve prints money endlessly, devaluing the dollar and making us all poorer.
- Student debt traps keep millions shackled to a broken education system designed for corporate gain.
- Big Pharma profits from both the sickness and the “cure.”
- Media conglomerates, owned by the elite, control narratives to suit their interests.
- Tax loopholes ensure the rich pay less while the working class struggles.
- Lobbying turns politicians into puppets for corporate agendas.
- War profiteering enriches defense contractors while soldiers and civilians pay the price.
- Surveillance capitalism tracks our every move, selling our data to the highest bidder.
- Food industry monopolies push unhealthy products while suppressing sustainable alternatives.
- The healthcare system prioritizes profit over people, leaving millions uninsured.
- Censorship on social media ensures dissenting voices are silenced.
- Education systems teach obedience, not critical thinking.
- The housing crisis benefits investors while families struggle to afford homes.
- Climate change policies are performative, masking their investments in oil and gas.
- Automation and AI replace jobs while the displaced are left to fend for themselves.
- The stock market is rigged to benefit insiders while retail investors are left in the dust.
- Charity foundations, like the Gates Foundation, wield power under the guise of altruism.
- Election funding ensures only elite-backed candidates make it to the ballot.
- Police militarization protects the elite while communities are over-policed.
- The illusion of democracy keeps us arguing about politics while real decisions are made in boardrooms.
The Struggle of Staying Awake
Knowing the truth means you can never return to ignorance. It’s isolating to see the strings pulling the world while others focus on the puppets. Many dismiss the awake as paranoid or conspiratorial, but the evidence is all around us—hidden in the open, masked by distraction.
The American government? It’s a corporation, not a servant of the people. Taxation, surveillance, and endless wars ensure the 1% profit while we pay the price. Consider the 2023 WSAN revelation, where a former contractor admitted to participating in media manipulation campaigns. Fake news isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a carefully orchestrated tactic to control public perception.
The Path Forward
So, what can we do? Recognize the illusion, and stop playing their game. Refuse to let their narratives divide us. Build communities of mutual support outside the system. Learn to question everything—because staying awake is the only way we can begin to dismantle their control.
This isn’t an easy journey, but it’s a necessary one. Together, we can expose the illusion and reclaim our world from the clutches of the 1%.
