The Safekeeping of Secrets: Understanding What's Hidden in Plain Sight
Where are secrets kept safe? This question prompts us to explore the nature of secrets and how they are managed in today's digital and surveilled world. For the average person, it might seem that secrets are not as crucial to keep as they were in the past. However, the truth is more complex than just the availability of modern surveillance technologies.
Secrets in the Digital Age
For the everyday individual, such as a small business owner or a regular working person, there may not seem to be many secrets worth keeping. With the advancement of technology, it is relatively easy for 'those in control' to track phone calls, monitor internet activities, and access bank accounts. But what about deeper, more personal secrets that you might wish to keep hidden? These secrets, if shared, can quickly become exposed. Once a secret is shared, the chance that it will be discovered increases significantly by 100 percent. Thus, holding a secret within oneself is fundamentally different from sharing that secret with someone else.
Secrets in Society
However, the real secrets—those being deliberately concealed—are often much more significant and even more concerning. There is a major secret that many people do not want to acknowledge: that powerful entities are knowingly keeping secrets and attempting to hide the truth from the public. These secrets include the ongoing surveillance of citizens, the manipulation of electoral outcomes, and the redefining of laws in favor of existing power structures.
A Word on Organized Crime and the Government
The largest secret of all is often the most egregious: the reality that so-called 'organized crime' is simply the term used to describe crime conducted by the government itself. The definitions in dictionaries are outdated and do not reflect the current state of affairs. When we redefine 'organized crime' to include actions taken by the government, which vote themselves raises and manipulate elections, we are truly facing the truth.
Historically, organized crime has been associated with illegal activities and criminal organizations. Yet, in our modern era, the practices of the government, much like those of organized crime, often involve illegal and unethical behavior. Governments have people in every town and city, controlling every aspect and working together seamlessly to maintain the status quo. They manipulate laws to their advantage, suppress dissent, and control the narrative. It is important to understand that, in many cases, what we term 'organized crime' on an individual level is simply synonymous with government behavior.
Personal Privacy and Government Surveillance
Inside your skull, there are secrets that should remain there. No one else should have access to these private thoughts and feelings. Keeping your secrets is essential for your personal well-being and integrity. However, once you share a secret, whether it be to a friend, a colleague, or a stranger, the likelihood that it will become known drastically increases. This is why privacy and the safekeeping of secrets are crucial in today's interconnected world.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
It is crucial for individuals to critically assess the reality of their world. The government and those in power are not always forthcoming with the truth. By taking the time to observe and understand the workings of your local government, you can form a more informed opinion. If enough people take the time to scrutinize the secrets being kept by those in power, we can potentially create a more transparent and accountable governmental system.
