If it is any consolation I was a well provided for prodigal child (programming at 9, like many of us here.)

I was press ganged (as a fully functional and self successful adult) into Arizona Company’s hooligan army of Power, that is the secret state of the secret state of American thought control. Yes, that is how this Power works. Those who live their lives by it do not know they are run by even more secret factions of control.

The only thought control group that exists that nobody talks about that you can actually influence and see and fix yourself is childhood trauma and abusive parents. Nobody talks about it, but it's a steering force in the majority of the population and is what makes people vulnerable to propoganda, emotional manipulation and control. Everything else is just down stream of that and plays on the childhood templates and boxes that children are hammered into while growing up.
