Confronting “THE BIG LIE” – Meltem Arikan on Personal Responsibility & Crossing Fear’s Border

October 15, 2011 By Meltem Arikan 1 Comment

The new world order will be constructed by sharing true information, not by ‘The Big Lies.’…the time has come to take your own responsibility. What is more that you are waiting for?

Reality and pain are inevitably nested within each other. This simple fact is the reason of escaping from the awareness of existence. Even the simplest realities are wrapped up in a whirl of ideas; with language making them more complicated. The more it gets complicated the more it is sublimated and then minds swing back and forth through this conceptual turmoil. These are sublimated methods to escape from one’s own existence, not the reasons. The most commonly used and accepted method is; ‘The Big Lie’

A Situation of Parenti Control? Has WikiLeaks Inspired Artist @ExiledSurfer Been Censored, Blocked on US Government Networks?

@exiledsurfer censored? ArtificialEyes.tv, the website operated by artist and “Wikivisionary” Michael Parenti, appears to have been blocked and censored on at least one U.S. government computer network. While WikiLeaks-Movie.com is unable to verify this directly, we have learned from Parenti that his site has been “blocked in U.S. government networks” including the United States Air Force, an action which he states has been “confirmed by many sources.”

“On Censorship, Art and WikiLeaks” by Meltem Arikan

"The Great Wikileaker" ReMix by @exiledsurfer

Censorship is not just about forbidding discussion of certain facts or limiting the freedom of thought. Our very patterns of thought, emotions, and beliefs can be molded in ways beyond our control, both directly and indirectly. Censorship is indirectly imposed through instilling feelings of guilt and fear through the media and institutions of society. For these reasons, censorship is a violation of human rights. Political discourse and artwork have been subjected to censorship in the same ways for thousands of years. There are many examples of censorship imposed on artworks of all kinds.
