Or is the slow moving conditioning beyond the ability for people to either see or care to concern themselves with?
I could post any one of a million example but I just watched this new one called; Let's Save Canada!

I like to think that there is hope. Start with the people around you. Make sense, get them thinking, and soon they will start talking to other people they know, and on and on. Thomas Paine did it. So can we.

As always, you need to follow the money trail. Where the money is lies the power or in some cases anti-power. When the power is defined you must look to where and how many are on the bottom rung of the ladder. There is action at both ends and a lot of indecision in the middle stepping on each other and trying to get to the next rung on the ladder. Enough hurting people at the bottom can topple the ladder. If the economy fails the people at the top will fall like Humpty Dumpty. Whether you educate or not, the thing tends to happen on a regular schedule.

Matt H....
I feel like many people at Yahoo Q & A are "educating the masses on the conditioning and continuous loss of power and freedoms"....Out of all the bad things happening here, this is the thing that I am most proud of because I made sure that I have people as my Contacts who are very knowledgeable and Passionate on these subjects and notifies me everyday by their Q and A...I am so very proud of them all....They are NO JOKE.....!!!!
In terms of the speed of which you are looking for, remember that "Life is a Journey and process, NOT an endpoint....It does not matter if everyone in the World doesn't become Enlightened, but enough people that can make changes..
I Hope this Helps....

Very strange, the first 5 actually know the answer. But then again, they're aware of the tyranny around the corner. I want to help others, but knowing how most have been conditioned to never listen both sides of the argument, it almost seems hopeless. But if all else fails, massive message sending, bullhorning and bumpersticker flying might knock some sense into the masses before it's too late.

Educate to what point? The sheer mass of human numbers is the cause of our problems. More and more people make more and more rules, laws, regulations, and regimentation inevitable. You can't be rugged free individuals, when humans are so packed on Earth, that rules on every conceivable subject are needed to make things tolerable. The world's population was 3 billion in 1950. Today, it's 6 billion. Human numbers are projected to be 9 billion by 2050. Do you think MORE people means LESS rules?

It's not really possible, because too many people don't care.
At best, a few isolated tribes might survive and retain the ability to think logically. With careful preservation of oral traditions, we might be to preserve a history that remembers that what it was like before the dark times....

I think it is possible to educate the masses, however the governments are doing a great job at keeping it under control. Democracy and liberalism are a big threat to any government. It is a growing outcry by the people that they have had enough of being treated like peons and their rights violated by governments.
The danger with liberalism and democracy is that too much of it leads to anarchy, and every government in the world knows it.

No. The Bolsheviks in Russia were a small minority but they were able to take over and enslave the entire region with communism. The leftists in this country are attempting the same thing. And the masses are allowing it to happen.

People in the USA have it exactly the way they want it. They must because they just keep voting the same politicians into office that keep chipping away at our freedoms and civil liberties. SO no I don't think so. I think people in the USA have it exactly the way they want it. sort of scary to think that the majority of the people in this country actually want things the way they are currently isn't it?

Unfortunately, they see it with age, but by then it's too late. Since the history of our degradation of liberties is not taught in schools, and will not likely be, it's a good bet that ignorance will reign and the conditioning will continue.
