What Is a Prison? 

We tend to think of prisons as negative-service hotels made of stone and steel in which we force others to live like sub-humans.   We put our fellow humans into these hell-holes if they don't follow the rules.  

Are there any other types of prisons?   Yes!  Dozens of them.   Every law that we are forced to abide by is a form of a prison.   Of course, in any social system, we must have way to guide personal interactions so that everyone functions without violating or otherwise damaging others in body, mind, reputation, or spirit.   But where do we draw the lines between common-sense social order  and  arbitrary social dominance?

What about the laws that attempt to legislate morality and attempt to control an individual's private and personal behavior?   There are still numerous laws around that attempt to do this -- laws such as those dictating sexual behavior -- laws such as those that allow people to openly use alcohol and nicotine, and throw other people in jail for using marijuana in the privacy of their own homes.   Where is our freedom there?  

What about the laws that control behavior in areas where "to-do  or  not-do" is highly controversial, such as in the forced motherhood (anti-abortion) controversy?   Where is our freedom there?  

What about such seemingly-simple issues as dress codes?   Have you noticed our so-called leaders in a business setting?   Have you ever seen any of them wearing anything other than the uniforms of the dominant males -- the gray, dark blue or black business suit, formal black shoes, and a phallic symbol around their necks?   In terms of dress, their only option is the color of their neck tie.   Where is our freedom there? 

Have you noticed that the three government organizations that are supposed to protect our personal and political freedom are all dictatorships -- military -- police -- courts.      Where is our freedom there?  

The Slave-Master Called MONEY:   

Now let's talk about one of the two real slave masters -- MONEY!   Are you financial free?   Have you ever heard the term, "wage slave?"   Do you do things you don't want to do because you are paid money to do those things?  

There are so many laws, rules, and tools where one person (or group of people) dictate and control the lives and activities of others, that we have an several websites devoted to this issue.

Beliefs -- The Ultimate Slave Masters:   

As you must have heard by now:   Within the context of life in a human body on planet Earth, we each create our own personal reality by our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, and we empower those beliefs by our emotions and by our physical activities.   (Reference:  The Universal Principles)  

The super-wealthy who dominate human social behavior know that physical prisons are very inefficient and that they cost a lot of money.   A far more effective method of controlling others and milking them for money is with the use of beliefs:  

If you can control a person's beliefs, you control his or her behavior.   This tool of dominance is certainly nothing new.   It was one of the basic tenants of former Russian fascism -- fascism disguised as communism:   "Control the mind of the child and you control his/her behavior as an adult."   The Russians didn't invent this.   Like almost everything else they did, they stole that, too.   The Roman Catholic Church has been very effectively using this mind bending tool for almost two thousand years.   In recent years, the fundamentalist Christians have added an incredible effective mind-bending cash cow called:  The Rapture.  

"The Rapture" is a conservative Christian belief that the world is about to  end any day now,  and when it does all born-again saved Christians will be ushered directly into heaven above the clouds  to be with Jesus and the superhuman being called God.

This technique for manipulating human behavior is commonly known as Mind Control.   It's been the core of the advertising industry industry since its inception.   Shortly after the Korean war, about 1953, the military got into this big time.   In the late 1950's the politicians found that manipulating beliefs was a great tool for winning elections.   George Bush Jr. and Company took this to the ultimate negative political extreme when they turned the Republican party into the the party of the right-wing, ultra-conservative fundamentalist Christians.   Reference: When the Republicans Voted for George Bush Jr. Here's What They Actually Voted For:    

Lies of Omission:   

One of the major tools in mind control is the Lie of Omission.   To lie by omission is to remain silent and thereby withhold from someone else a vital piece (or pieces) of information.   The silence is deceptive in that it gives a false impression to the person from whom the information was withheld.   It  subverts the truth;  it is a way to manipulate someone  into altering their behavior to suit the desire of the person who intentionally withheld the vital information; and, most importantly, it's a gross violation of another person's right of self-determination.  

Lies of omission are at the core of the advertising industry, and lies of omission are about the only language our politicians know how to speak.   Politicians even have a special name for their public liars.   They call them "Spin Doctors."  

A spin doctor is a person paid to lie to the pubic using, among other things, lies of omission.   A spin doctor's job is to promote one side of the any issue and to ignore, denigrate, put down, humiliate, shame, disgrace, belittle, malign, criticize, smear, slander and/or degrade the other side in any way that money can buy.   Anything short of of open criminal activity is fair game.   If you think this is and exaggeration, you have but to study the behavior of born-again-George-Bush-junior's political assassin Karl Rove.   Truth in politics would cause our present political and economic systems to literally collapse.   But please don't believe us.   Examine the evidence for yourself

Here's the bottom line in human ethical and moral behavior:  

Thou Shall Not Violate!   

What is a violation?  

Causing damage to another's person, property, and/or reputation.  

Infringing upon the free will choice of another.  

Stealing another person's property

In addition to the traditional crimes that we are all familiar with, the techniques of violation include:

Manipulation  -- 
Lies of omission  -- 
Lies of commission  -- 
Peddling half truths as if they were whole truths
and the gem of violation  --- 
Financially enslaving millions of people with a fraudulent banking system.

Taking Back Our Freedom:   

Do you know what it feels like to be free?   Have you ever actually experienced genuine freedom?   How about financial freedom of sexual freedom or religious freedom?   Do we really have political freedom, or have the super wealthy bought the votes of our political representatives?  

The price of freedom is responsibility.   In how much of your life are you playing victim?   Where in your life are you standing up and demanding freedom?

Perhaps you'd like to get out of prison, to stop being a wage slave, to actually be financially, politically, and personally free.   Well, it's possible, but there are no "get out of jail free" cards.   Freedom is available, but one has to act free, and one has to declare it.  

Please keep in mind that declaring freedom is not about taking anything from anybody.   And, the type of freedom that we are referring to is not about fixing that which already exists.   It's about creating something new.  There are numerous ways one can declare and then create freedom.  

The focus of our new creation process revolves around creating a variation of the traditional non-profit foundation.   We propose setting up a network of independent, non-government, non-big-business non-profit foundations to end the home-foreclosure crisis and in the process, fund city and county governments.   We also have a way to fund state governments, but that's another story for another time.   

Several of the TLC-Life-Center Websites are expressly designed with this goal in mind.
