some questions. (students in classroom, maybe fifties style... b&w)

do you ever feel like there is a difference between the life you envisioned and the life you are currently living?(mansions, yachts, golf, hugh hefner with playmates)

do you ever feel like the characters on television are more real than you are? (sitcom characters getting hit in the head or crotch)

do you ever feel like you spend all your time working for someone else's gain at the expense of your time and dignity? Really, wage labor is little better than slavery. At least a slave is provided with food and shelter, a wage laborer simply spends the majority of his or her income on these. (Office workers, factory machinery, cotton fields)

do you ever feel ashamed to be what you really are? The beauty industry alone spends billions of dollars a year to make you feel worthless all so they can step in with some product to fix the problem they told you you had. ("beautiful" women, muscular men, products)

are you tired of being treated as a suspect for a crime that hasn't been committed yet? (police, terrorists, really sinister looking criminals)

are you tired of being licensed, numbered, governed, structured or watched? (quick sequence of short bits changing with each word, driver's license, prisoner with number, judge with gavel, hierarchy chart, man with binoculars)

why live your life for the interests of a corporation? if you are not having the time of your life, ask yourself why not? (short cuts continue getting faster and faster)

Do you ever feel like Big brother is watching you? (sinister man with dark hair watching you)

(fade to white)

some answers:

if big brother is watching... become invisible.

we need to redefine. redefine existance. redefine what it means to be alive. redefine what it means to be successful.

it's time to refuse! refuse to work. refuse to be numbered. refuse to be compromised.

but how do we eat? where do we stay? you may ask. that has to be examined. a network must be established. the hacienda must be built.

get some friends together and make t-shirts to sell at local events. perform street theater. gather useful items from dumpsters or college dorms and sell them on ebay. live together. there are a million different ways to support yourself without participating in the corporate and structure.

it may take time. but we can do this. humanity does not have to live the way we are now. we don't have to subject ourselves to the kings of this world to be happy!

mankind has only lived like this for the last few thousand years. for the vast majority of our history, we lived tribally on the plains of africa. it's time to recall that grand heritage. that doesn't mean we have to give up our modern technology, it just means that we interact on our own terms not on the terms set up by those who benefit from our labors.

the only way to become invisible is to act. that's the only thing that binds us together. there is no one person who says what that means. if you believe that things can be different, you are invisible. you can act and speak and work. you are us. no one owns the word invisible. no one leads us. this is not a movement. this is you and me fighting for our lives. our goal is to liberate minds and change the world. what that means and how we do that is up to you. act against the current structures. teach people how to live differently... the key though, is always remember to teach, not force. these ideas will change the world. you cannot liberate someone. you can only point to the door.

we must work together. keep your groups small. network with those you know, but keep it small. they can't beat us if we don't even know who we are.

the important thing is, that no matter what our individual causes, we need to network and work together to fight the bigger foe, always challenging the status quo in favor of radical freedom free from all forms of oppression including financial, governmental, religious or otherwise.

we're coming to a turning point very soon: it's either going to be total slavery or total freedom? which is it?

a new world is possible and it begins with you.
