What are the real purposes of power structures?
Do the police exist to protect you, or do they exist to keep you in line?
Do politicians exist to represent you, or do they exist to delude you into believing you're part of the process?
Does the military exist to defend your life and happiness, or does it exist to destroy others'?
Do the intelligence and national security apparatuses exist to uproot enemies before they get to you, or do they exist to create enemies and utilize the fear of those enemies to better control you?
Does the media exist to inform you, or does it exist to misinform you, control the dialogue, and keep you thinking the Right Thoughts?
