23/ Foreign policy, media, and influential impact.
The main problem of our time—the root cause of all other issues—is the low level of awareness among people. This means poor knowledge of societal governance and a lack of understanding of the fundamental principles governing our world. Our ignorance makes us susceptible to manipulation: of our opinions, behavior, and influence on our immediate surroundings. In our ignorance, we can act destructively, and in the medium to long term, we can, with smiles on our faces, cut the branch we are sitting on.
In this article, I will attempt to clarify the framework through which we have been successfully manipulated into madness for several decades.
THE CORE PROBLEM
Once, I met a young man in a pub who, during our conversation, presented himself as an independent thinker. He claimed to be unaffected by politics or others' opinions, someone who followed his own independent path and formed his own opinions. For hours, he tried to convince me of his independence—this man who wore dreadlocks. I thought to myself, "He probably invented the hairstyle himself, and since then, the whole world has just been copying him."
Far too many people in the 21st century fail to grasp the interconnectedness of everything with everything else. They do not realize how everything influences everything else or understand the fundamental principle of our interconnected world.
We struggle to comprehend the practical application of the action-reaction relationship. We find it hard to grasp the theoretical butterfly effect or to understand that we either govern our surroundings or are governed by them. As a result, we fail to recognize how our environment influences us and shapes our opinions.
We live automated lives, programmed by manipulative methods from early childhood. We are unable to imagine an alternative to the life we are currently living—the one others tell us we should live. We lose the quality of our creativity, which unfortunately reflects in the declining quality of our artistic output, such as movies. The decline in the quality of film comedies is evident in our society.
ROOT CAUSE
We were all born into a world striving for centralized governance and control over people. As a result, critical knowledge about governance is intentionally withheld from society. From a young age, we are pushed toward aggressive specialization. Society pressures us to choose a lifelong career path, a professional bubble in which we remain for most of our lives due to a lack of time.
We are burdened with often meaningless obligations that prevent us from pursuing broader self-education. Instead, we rely on "instant" media as our primary source of information. These media outlets summarize "essential" information in repetitive, hourly cycles. Due to time constraints, we prefer illustrated newspapers or magazines over text-heavy ones. Meme images containing one or two sentences (preferably with vulgarity) are the peak of popular culture.
THE INFLUENCE OF MEDIA AND EDUCATION
We fail to develop and focus solely on our professions. Consequently, we are forced to form opinions based on manipulative information sources—historical, documentary, or news media. We are entirely unaware that the information sources presented to us have a single master, a central authority that determines which information will be published, in which media, and in which country.
THE SOLUTION
I am convinced that awakening personal awareness and breaking free from the dream imposed on us since childhood requires understanding the framework of our crowd-elite society. Recognizing the tools and manipulative techniques used against us will enable us to identify and neutralize their influence—not only on ourselves but also on our immediate surroundings.
Ideally, education about governance should begin at the preschool level. It should take precedence over the purposeful prioritization of teaching overly simplistic languages like English. Only by educating individuals about governance can we hope to establish a stable, decentralized framework for managing our society in the near future.
WHO GOVERNS US, AND HOW?
Human society on Earth began globalizing in the 16th century and is now fully globalized in the 21st century. Governance over society (the unaware crowd) is controlled by two primary elite groups. From a long-term historical perspective, I also observe a third group, which I perceive not as direct participants but as referees overseeing the governance processes executed by the elite groups on Earth.
This referee group seems to guide our development, pace our progress, prevent catastrophic failures, and drive technological leaps when necessary. They initiated globalization in the 16th century, enabling the rise of influential families who gradually took control of vast parts of the Earth.
The early centralization of planetary resources aimed to accelerate human development, expansion, and population growth. The size of the population directly correlates with technological progress—more minds, more ideas. As representatives of globalized corporations gained power, they sought to control the planet's raw material resources.
The core of this governing group is shaped by the psyche of individuals from the 16th century. Over time, a second governing elite emerged, often directly supported by the referees.

THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE
The primary issue in our society is the insufficient awareness of the conceptual level of knowledge about life. We are divided by our differing views on the most basic principles of how our universe and world function. This division stems from our varying perspectives on worldviews.
I even encounter people who clearly lack a worldview altogether. Such individuals, who constitute the majority, are tossed between opposing ideologies like a leaf in the wind, changing their opinions flexibly depending on the dominant narrative in the information space they occupy.
Until we can comprehend the fundamental, simple principle of how our world works, we remain part of the easily manipulated crowd. Why? Because having a formed worldview automatically establishes boundaries against manipulation. It defines the limits of our trust in various ideologies.
For example, if I am a convinced individualist, I cannot follow "populist" ideologies about collective welfare and interconnectedness. I believe that only my well-being matters. Conversely, if I see interconnectedness in everything—in nature, technology, and society—then individualistic behavior, persuasion, or ideology automatically repels me.
TWO FUNDAMENTAL WORLDVIEWS
-
Individualism
- A worldview held by corporations and those who see the world solely through their eyes.
-
Collectivism
- A worldview held by the human elite, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and seeing others as extensions of themselves.
These opposing worldviews form the basis of the two main global governing groups. It is unnecessary to distinguish elites by geography, nationality, or other factors. The only true difference lies in our personal understanding—our ability to discern between illusory and real worldviews.
Truth is singular. Our experiences, shaped by the contrast between truth and folly, guide us toward truth over time.
(More about worldviews is discussed in my project: www.projektz.sk)
CORPORATE DEFENSE MECHANISMS
Over time, humanity's mindset has divided the planet into spheres of influence controlled by these opposing governing groups. Depending on the level of public awareness, we can clearly see regions governed by the concepts of individualism and those influenced by collectivism.
Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, individualists remain prevalent across humanity. The corporate elite and human elite continually battle for influence and power over ideas and populations. While corporations seek to destroy the human elite and seize their resources, the human elite focuses on raising awareness within corporate-controlled areas, aiming to shift the collective mindset from individualism to collectivism.
The human elite fights solely on an ideological level, valuing unity and cooperation. Corporations, constrained by their individualistic beliefs, increasingly resort to direct applications of power.
FOREIGN POLICY
Human society is divided by levels of communication, types of communication, and the quality of information exchange. Attributes such as culture and customs stem directly from the level of information exchange—language.
Language can be understood as a relatively advanced technology for information exchange and shaping the informational environment. Nations with underdeveloped languages (tribes) cannot collaborate on a higher level or establish statehood. Conversely, nations with more developed languages form state structures.
The prevailing worldview within a society reflects its national policy. If a nation elects fools (individualists) to leadership positions, it is evident that such individuals dominate the nation at that time.
PROPAGANDA AND CONTROL
In societies with well-developed languages, individualists (fools) can still be cultivated effectively by influencing the prevailing worldview or overwhelming the information space with false ideologies (propaganda). The goal is to ensure the population cannot comprehend basic governance mechanisms.
"A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth."
Understanding governance mechanisms is crucial for breaking free from the entrenched dogmas imposed by dominant propaganda. As the saying goes:
"Each person, according to their level of understanding, works toward their goals and the goals of those close to them. But those who lack understanding work toward the goals of those who understand more than they do."
MANIPULATIVE TOOLS
In the individualist world of corporations, fragmented nations and states are united through false ideologies (the propaganda of the American Dream) and an artificial governance tool—money (corruption/lobbying).
Money ensures the operational efficiency of the individualist system, while propaganda controls the society’s informational space. States in the individualist sphere of influence are hierarchically divided into resource-stabilizing states and governance states.
Occupied states are easily identified: read their constitutions. Any state whose primary governing document defines international law as superior to its own is a colony of the ruling group of states, or more precisely, a vassal of corporate governing groups.
Governance states (groups) exert control over vassal states through foreign policy. In the individualist sphere of influence, foreign policy primarily involves indirect ideological power—propaganda—and the use of artificial tools like money.
MEDIA
Corporations have established an extensive network of "independent" opinion-forming media to disseminate the necessary information (individualist propaganda) at the appropriate time. Following the financial flow behind these media outlets reveals the interest groups influencing ideological control in society.
In Slovakia, even our so-called public media (RTVS) serves as a propaganda tool. Funded by mandatory citizen fees, it produces foreign propaganda. This situation highlights our state’s lack of sovereignty, as expressing independent national views or opposing Western narratives could be equated to declaring war on a more powerful foreign state.
INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC OPINION
The massive media complex was created because every individual’s opinion matters. If public opinion didn’t matter, propaganda wouldn’t be necessary, and no significant resources would be invested in it.
Our brains function like antennas—they can receive and transmit information into a shared informational field. If you have a thought, it’s likely someone else has had the same thought before. If you dream about something unrelated to your life, you might be experiencing someone else’s memory.
Each of us influences the informational field. This is why corporations strive to synchronize public thought through propaganda, preventing natural self-organization within society.
PROPAGANDA AS AN ATTACK
Corporations employ a simple yet effective strategy to influence the informational field: DDOS-like attacks, spam, and flooding. From various sources, they repeatedly bombard us with their desired narratives, turning lies into perceived truths.
The situation resembles an email inbox overwhelmed with spam, where important messages are buried under countless irrelevant ones. Without a proper filter, we focus on repetitive nonsense.
A BASIC FILTER AGAINST PROPAGANDA
The most essential filter against manipulative efforts is a combination of understanding our worldview and distinguishing between real and illusory perspectives. This means grasping the fundamental principles of our interconnected world.
We must truly comprehend the collective importance of conscious beings—humans, animals, plants—and see others as extensions of ourselves. By understanding unity, we cannot be manipulated into destructive processes.
Corporations, the ultimate individualists, often disguise themselves with collectivist rhetoric, preaching shared welfare and mutual protection. However, they cannot genuinely compete with collectivist ideologies, as their foundation lies in artificial constructs like the American Dream and greed-driven growth.
CONCLUSION
We live in an interconnected world where everything influences everything in real time. We either govern or are governed. However, this interconnectedness doesn’t prevent us from cooperating, setting common priorities, and striving for shared goals.
By understanding simple governance tools and principles, we can filter manipulative efforts and align with creative, developmental governance rather than destructive forces.
Focus on real worldviews, live in harmony with life, and avoid falling for illusions. Let observed life experiences guide your decisions.
A CALL TO ACTION
Let’s recognize the divine in ourselves and others, seeing unity in all beings. As Slovaks and Czechs, we have the advantage of a precise and expressive language. This allows us to articulate complex thoughts effectively, enabling us to compete with larger nations through quality rather than quantity.
In the 21st century, corporations face collapsing defenses, financial pressure, and ideological challenges from technological interconnectedness. They increasingly rely on ineffective, direct governance through repression.
We have nothing to fear. By ignoring these fools and learning from their mistakes, we can passively resist their control.
Through shared efforts, spreading vital information, and exposing manipulative tactics, we can shift society’s attention toward truth and collective well-being.
Let’s strive to understand collectivism—the only real, principled worldview. The longer we fail to see ourselves in others, the longer we’ll endure life’s challenges.
