"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends"

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Who is a Sleeper?

A sleeper is someone who decides they are not going to participate in being a part of the solution thus they become part of the problem because they will not acknowledge there even is a problem.

They probaby are doing quite well by keeping things the way they are. They do not want to rock the boat because they may lose that which they worked so hard to accumulate.

They do not see any problem with consuming as much as they are able until they die, leaving behind who knows what to the generations to come.

They may be very nice people. They watch the saturday hockey game. They cheer for their team and are very disappointed if they don't make the playoffs.

They pay their taxes dutifully and grumble while they do it, and expect others to do the same. They don't like war but know it has to be done to keep them safe from terrorists.

They don't question the ethics of their companies and if they do they never do anything about it. They don't look at the ingredients in their food, they don't care how many miles the food took to get their plates and don't mind that any rain forest anywhere might have been cut down to make the soy beans to feed to the cow that they are eating.

They water their lawns when they want and think that privatization is probably a good idea even though they don't really understand what it means.

They swear at any protesters who talk against the IMF and World bank, saying " What do they know about economics. They are all a bunch of bums!"

They don't think about how they think. They don't think much at all. They will do what is necessary to get what they need and satisfy their needs and addictions.

Some people make things happen.

Some people watch things happen.

And other people wonder what happened. Sleepers fall into this last category.

Sleepers do not know they are sleepers. If you call them asleep they will get angry and upset.

They believe what the normal media tells them and never do research on their own. Anything outside of their belief system is hogwash and quickly dismissed.

Most of the hobbits in Hobbiton would be sleepers. They are perfectly loving and happy people. They don't do things to spite people, but do their best to be good citizens. They want to be left alone to live their life.

It's a nice way to be.

You might know some people like this. You may even be one of them if you were sent here by someone.

Once sleepers wake up they are very disoriented for awhile because their entire world is based upon illusion and that is why they stay asleep. Its painful to realize how much corruption is going on and how many people are suffering because of it.

If you are a sleeper and want to wake up, just start reading the material above or on the sides and really spend some time examining the information. Imagine if even some of it were true. How would your perception of the world change?
