HOFFMAN LENSES 2
The solution to every problem you've ever
had is simple:
"Stop believing in authority!"
You're searching for a panacea, and there it
is. Now it's up to you to take it. Believe it or
not, that's the hard part.
Folks beg for a cure-all, but when provided
one — with proof it works — they develop
intense love for the disease. Since the illness
is all they've known, a cure sounds horrifying.
Authority is terrible, but authority only works
if somebody — or, in this case, almost
everybody — believes in it. Government can
make its "laws," but these "laws" have no
effect if people refuse to adhere to them.
The "laws" of Ancient Rome are still in place,

THE GORDIAN KNOT 3
but since nobody abides by them anymore,
we no longer allow them to alter our course.
As Jiddu Krishnamurti explained, in terms of
our species' problems, what we're
experiencing is a "crisis in consciousness." **
We hold our destinies in our own hands. If we
stop believing in authority, it no longer
affects us, since it's solely an ideology within
our minds, and therefore doesn't even exist.
** Jiddu Krishnamurti — Zeitgeist: Addendum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZoiauymAVQ
Those claiming to be authority will lie to you
the "conundrums" we face are so complex
they're insurmountable. Such is false.
Of course these scumbags adopt this modus
operandi. If you realize the eradication of
authority is the solution to your suffering, you

HOFFMAN LENSES 4
dethrone it. As a result, those in "power" —
existing lavishly at your expense — are
reduced to the common populace.
Exposed as the evildoers they are, they're
thrown among the vulgus they've been
abusing for so long. It's the prison warden
who's been ordering his inmates beaten
every night. Once this superintendent is
found "guilty" of something, and tossed into
the prison itself, how do you think inmates
will treat their new fellow incarcerate?
Do you believe this is a path those in
authority want to take?
The "dilemmas" we face are a Gordian Knot.
"A what?!"
I can delve into the Alexander the Great

THE GORDIAN KNOT 5
explanation, but that would be more painful
than the anguish felt by Oprah when wigs are
deemed illegal. Hence, let's just go with the
simple definition:
A Gordian Knot is a complex entanglement.
When given a coil so intricate, it appears
impossible to unscramble, you don't waste
time "attempting" to solve the problem —
like authority wants you to. You actually
solve the problem by removing the knot —
which, in this case, is authority.
Instead of fruitlessly trying to unravel the
quagmire in question, simply cut it from the
rope, tie the two pieces together, and move
on. ***
*** Gordian Knot
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_Knot

HOFFMAN LENSES 6
Your "problems" have been created by those
we've allowed to mislead us — politicians,
priests, pedagogues, etc., etc., etc. These
assholes don't want you disentangling the
"dilemmas" they've developed for you.
Hence, they enmesh them in a snarl so
perplexing, you'll give up trying to "solve" it
before you start.
Why futilely attempt to untangle the knot,
when you can simply eradicate it by
eliminating it?
To paraphrase Henry David Thoreau,
thousands will hack at the leaves of evil, to
the one who rips the root out of the ground,
burns it to ashes, and buries it in a cement
block at the bottom of the ocean.
Authority has created our "complications."
Our belief in authority perpetuates these

THE GORDIAN KNOT 7
"problems." Stop giving authority legitimacy,
and these "conundrums" disappear.
"How can we possibly feed every person on
the planet?!"
We've far more than enough sustenance for
everyone on Earth to eat sufficiently. The
only reason people are starving is because
they don't have the money with which to pay
for this abundant nourishment.
If you don't conclude we need to eradicate
money, in order to feed everyone, you're
unable to perform math as simple as 2 - 1 =
1. If such is the case, you're either too
retarded to read this sentence, or your goal
is something other than expunging human
hunger. So, which is it?
"How will we ever pay off the astronomic

HOFFMAN LENSES 8
national debt?"
You mean the "debt" that doesn't exist? A
"debt" authority — which lies to you about
everything else — tells you is real? A bunch
of inherently useless pieces of paper —
known as cash — you can't drink, eat, nor
inhale?
Don't "think outside the box," since this banal
phrase was created by those who want you to
conform. Think logically.
Give the "debtors" all the cash on the planet,
and end the monetary system immediately
afterwards. Those you claim are hunting for
money just got all of it, we just got rid of you
— the liars attempting to brainwash us
there's a "debt" in the first place — and now
we're free.

THE GORDIAN KNOT 9
The Egg of Columbus is an example of
thinking logically. ****
**** Egg of Columbus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_of_Columbus
You've got a hard-boiled egg in its shell.
You're tasked with balancing it on its tip,
without employing other implements.
Most will mentally abuse themselves, to solve
the problem. All one need do is tap the egg on
its most conical curve, until the shell cracks
to the point its intact portion becomes a
sufficient base. At that juncture, simply
place the egg on this ad hoc foundation.
Again, these "challenges" we're incurring are
"problems" we're now perpetuating
ourselves. The answer to these "dilemmas" is
not only simple, but ours to take.

MONEY ADDICTS
This is our most dangerous addiction —
our addiction to things. For it is this
addiction that underlies the materialism
of our age. And nowhere is this
addiction more apparent than in our
addiction to money.
— Russell Peters *
* Russell Peters

HOFFMAN LENSES 12
People are labelled "addicts" for dependency
to anything these days. There are cocaine
addicts, heroin addicts and morphine
addicts. In short, there are drug addicts.
Alcoholics are alcohol addicts.
There are anger addicts, coffee addicts,
exercise addicts, food addicts, gambling
addicts, nicotine addicts, porn addicts, sex
addicts, TV addicts, "work" addicts, etc.,
etc., etc. Anything the greedy can acquire
cash from "treating" dependency to, is
categorized an addiction.
Centers for "remedy" of these obsessions
are built: The Betty Ford Clinic, St. Jude's,
SAMSHA. An armada of phone numbers,
should one suspect a "problem," are
provided.

MONEY ADDICTS 13
Anybody doing anything to excess is
classified an addict. Then why aren't those
wasting their lives, collecting cash, seen in
the same light? Where are the hotlines for
money junkies? Where are the rehab facilities
for this addiction?
If you found someone on the roadside
obsessively gathering piles of cardboard,
you'd conclude they were insane. Why don't
you see those who fanatically gather piles of
money in the same light? They've
squandered their existence acquiring
insignificant pieces of paper. That certainly
seems an addiction, as they could've spent
their days doing productive things beneficial
to our species.
Since pursuit of these useless strips of fabric
has led our kind to near extinction — thanks
to raping of the Earth — you would think this

HOFFMAN LENSES 14
addiction would be considered the ultimate.
However, it's never mentioned in the
mainstream. Instead, the frenzied pursuit of
money — little strips of fabric — is promoted
as a logical goal.
Schools and universities are designed around
it; widespread media stresses it; and parents
actively advocate it.
Due to our rabid race for currency, this
planet is being depleted of its natural
resources; resources, no less, our species
requires, in order to survive.
Soil — which allows us to eat — is being
destroyed at an astronomical rate, thanks to
our quest for cash. Foliage — which enables
us to breathe — is being stripped from the
planet, because we want money. Earth's
atmosphere is being decimated, via our

MONEY ADDICTS 15
addiction to currency.
In addition, humans have introduced the
most virulent of substances — fission and
radioactive waste — into our ecosystem, so
folks can monetarily profit.
We're literally killing our own species over the
blind pursuit of stupid pieces of paper. Thus,
this would seem the supreme addiction. Yet,
somehow, we revere those who excel at it.
Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are overdosing
money addicts — thus responsible for
colossal damage. Still, they're revered.
Idolized, these severe promoters of the
pernicious are provided platforms from which
to dispense their ideas.
Being that "money is the root of all evil" —
according to our own words — why do we

HOFFMAN LENSES 16
venerate those who've most blatantly
supported this nefarious system?
We're all survival addicts. This fact is used
against us by those we've placed in positions
of "power." Our "leaders" — who are nothing
more than psychopathic control freaks —
brainwash us the only way to subsist is via
their system; the monetary system.
Some of us support this suicidal scam, and
become money addicts. Those who do are
sick. If they don't get their fix, they stress —
creating mental and physical detriment — or
destroy their own kind for a hit of the smack.
Such is not our natural state, but one we've
been lied to is optimal. Don't believe me?
Were your children born with an acute hunger
for cash? Were you?

MONEY ADDICTS 17
Of course not. Then this was something you
were obviously indoctrinated into believing.
Infants don't exit the womb, and attempt to
suckle a hundred dollar bill. They aren't
excruciatingly concerned with fistfuls of
twenties, when suffering from thirst. It's only
via brainwashing — with which this scheme
mercilessly bludgeons them — they're
transformed into money addicts.
In our current system, if one were to create
"treatment" centers for this addiction, their
primary goal would be to obtain as much cash
as possible. That's the main objective of any
business, right?
Such would be hypocritical to its patients.
You "treat" somebody for an addiction to
cash, yet only do so because you're getting
paid, and are thereby an addict, as well?!

HOFFMAN LENSES 18
We don't see ourselves as addicted, in the
same way we don't see ourselves as insane
for believing "America" exists. This, even
though we can fly above the planet, look
down, not see any borders, and definitively
prove "America" isn't there.
If we were a different species, traveling to
Earth, gazing upon this planet in an
uninhabited state, we wouldn't see countries.
Hence, we wouldn't recognize "America,"
"China," "Russia," etc. Then why do we
believe that which isn't there, is?
Again, we're brainwashed. Turn off your TVs;
stop voting; stop listening to authority; and
start thinking for yourselves.
Allowing others to think "on your behalf" has
brought you to a point in which over 40% of
the population is contracting cancer, and you

MONEY ADDICTS 19
spend sleepless nights worrying you're next.
Granting others the power to do your
cogitation has placed you moments from
nuclear annihilation, and drowning in
radioactive fallout.
Bequeathing others the "right" to ruminate
for you has forced you to become a money
addict, at the risk of death, should you refuse
to acquiesce.
If you still falsely believe you're doing your
own thinking, ask yourself if you'd choose to
pay bills and taxes. Would you elect to pay
"debts" politicians you've never met before,
have accrued?
Whether you continue pretending this system
to which we capitulate is somehow beneficial
to our species, is of no consequence. Reality

HOFFMAN LENSES 20
will keep moving forward, crushing you, me
and the architects of this suicidal pyramid
scheme in its wake. Should you plug into the
truth, however, and begin thinking for
yourself, we may be able to pull out of this
kamikaze death spiral.

Cage One is filled with lab rats starving to
death.
Cage Two? The same type of rodents, only
these are fed constantly, never wanting for
sustenance.
Drop a piece of cheese into each cage. What
do you think the reaction will be?
Obviously, the rats in Cage One will kill each
other, to hoard that sole means of nutrition.
Those in Cage Two will remain docile, civil

In which prison do you think humanity
resides?
We're nothing more than lab rats, at this

point; experiments for those we've allowed
to enslave us. Because we're brainwashed to
believe there isn't enough to go around, we
kill each other to get "our share."
You feel that palpable, cold demeanor every
time a bill collector calls, demanding cash.
You choke on the clinical nature of those who
feign compassion, but leave their hands out
for a monetary treat. Your "boss" commands
you to remain on call 24 hours a day —
surrendering every moment of your
existence to him — so he can feel he owns
you.
Did you ever have a job that you
hated; worked really hard at? Long,
hard day work, ﬁnally you get to go
home, get in bed, close your eyes, and
immediately you wake up and realize
that the whole day at work had been a
dream.
It's bad enough that you sell your
waking life for minimum wage, but

They don't call it Human Resources because
they feel you're special, and warrant care.
You're nothing more than a resource for
them. It says so in the title, but you choose to
overlook that, don't you?
Keep in mind, oil is a resource. So, too, are
livestock. Wood and rock are also resources.
Hence, when they think of you, they envision
coal, a cow or slab of stone. To them, you're
not an individual with emotions, goals nor
thoughts. To them, you're nothing more than
another reserve. Yet, you ignore the obvious
every day, and would've continued doing so,
had I not informed you of such.

"Managing Human Capital." It's the slogan for
a Human Resource company called Optyma.
Capital is defined by www.dictionary.com as:
the wealth, whether in money or
property, owned or employed in
business by an individual, ﬁrm,
corporation, etc.
or:
assets remaining after the deduction
of liabilities; the net worth of a
business. ***
*** Dictionary.com deﬁnition of capital

HOFFMAN LENSES 26
You're viewed as inanimate wealth. Moreover,
you're seen as somebody's property. Harken
back to your "boss's" desire to control you
24/7. As comforting as the loving arms of
Adolf Hitler, isn't it?
You're categorized in terms of "assets" and
"liabilities," for fuck's sake!
Anybody who can reduce you to such in their
minds will have no hesitation giving you
cancer, and profiting monetarily from your
suffering. Anyone who believes you're
"capital" is so mentally ill, they'd be willing to
kill you, in order to stock their bank account.
They see you as cattle...and they eat steaks
voraciously.
When dealing with government, that's what
we're talking here. Again, they've nuked you
over 1,000 times! More than 1,000 "tests" at

the Nevada Test Site, and 67 more in the
Marshall Islands — where the jet stream flows
directly over the "U.S." They only view your
plight, in terms of pain and suffering, when
relishing in your agony.
Even creepier is the dispassionate demeanor
others adopt, in attempts to emulate our
captors. Your doctor doesn't give a fuck
about you, as he pumps you full of lethal
drugs, in a rabid quest to fund his kid's trip to
an Ivy League university. Do you really think

decided to go with Blue Cross?!

From the opposite side of the cardboard wall,
in my no-bedroom apartment, I could hear
Tom Selleck begging us to begin the day with
Fukushima-infused fruit juice. Coating what
remained of my teeth with fluoridated paste,
and equally fluoridated water to wash it
down, I cleansed away the remnants of my

"Let's do the Wave, people! C'mon! Let's do

commanded the obsequious attendees in the
dank basement of this megacorp mausoleum.
Pleading to be enslaved, we followed suit,
even though all we could think about was
fucking, being fucked, doing drugs, laughing
and taking trips.
It was a group interview, and we were
allowing our dreams to be crushed by this
fanatical Human Resource recruiter, due to a
basic need to survive. If we didn't feign
sycophancy, there was the looming
possibility we'd die horrific deaths, starving
in piss-filled gutters.
The last thing the recruiter, herself, wanted
to do was the Wave, but here she was —

People everywhere are selling their souls for

All the while, you struggle to keep the castle

"Success" is murdering your conscience to

gotta do it with a big smile on his

And if you're a customer, whoa! That's

"You gotta stay in school, son, and get good

Where, in the above, does helping humanity,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
In modern form, you create a circular
penitentiary. The outer ring houses the cells,
which face the center of the circle.

HOFFMAN LENSES 38
In the middle, you have the guard house —
high up, and manned by a sole sentry. Hence,
this "screw" shack has a 360-degree,
panoramic view of every cell, and every
inmate. Pretty clever, huh?
"Yeah, but how can one guard — stationed
inside the guard house — see all the prisoners
at once? There's no way he can be at every
point around his shack."
Correct. And he doesn't have to be. Here's
where it gets disturbing.
You encircle the guard station with one-way
glass. The "screw" inside can see out, but the
incarcerates can't see in. As a result, the
inmates have no idea whether the sentry is
watching them, their fellow inmates, TV, or
his nuts, as he jacks-off. They simply have to
assume, at all times, they're the ones being

THE PANOPTICON 39
observed by the guard.
Hence, their stress level is perpetually high,
fearing they're constantly being surveilled.
They're incentivized to refrain from breaking
rules, or attempting to escape, since they're
always concerned they're being viewed.
In contemporaneous society, we exist within
a Panopticon — the walls of which most of us
fail to see.
Government is the guard shack in the center.
It's from here we're perpetually reminded
we're being scrutinized, and quite often are.
We have very little means by which we can
determine if we're being watched, but
bureaucracy keeps us enduringly fearful such
is the case.

A fat syringe of uncut truth pierced his
eyeball, as he gazed at the endless Universe
in the background. He wasn't even a flea in

This challenged everything he'd been
brainwashed to believe. His "faith" in Christ
was suddenly threatened. Given the enormity
of what he was looking at, did it make sense
what created all this was human?!
We're told Christ is God, and Christ obviously
looks Homo sapien, but did that now seem
logical, staring into the vastness? The

HOFFMAN LENSES 54

The confining quarters of the capsule closed
in on him, and his head spun like some
fucked-up fairground ride engineered to
make people puke. Not only had his religion
been a lie, but so too had his belief in
"America." From this vantage point, there
was no fuckin' "America." In fact, there were
no "countries" at all.
Strange. He had flown hundreds of planes,
but had never made the connection, until
now. From this distance, global unity was all
there was, since he was able to see the entire
globe. Aboard a plane, such wasn't so; he still
gazed down upon a landscape that only
encompassed the horizon.
The surge of reality flooded his synapses, as
the unwavering truth drowned his

HOFFMAN LENSES 56
programmed mind. The frail human
cogitated, alone in the dark void, "It's all
been a lie, hasn't it?!"
The man's pallor drained, as reality hit hard.
"Everything," the tiny Homo sapien
ruminated. "All I am, and all I've ever been,
has been a lie!"
"What's troubling you? You've seemed
anxious, since returning to — well, Earth."
The psychiatrist opened her laptop, and
began typing. "Did something happen out

The astronaut grimaced.
"William, you know our sessions are strictly
confidential. You can tell me whatever you'd
like, and I won't divulge a word of it to the

Struggling with the truth, the man ground his
teeth like Folgers does coffee. "We should
take that useless bullshit the government
tells us is currency, recycle it into blank
sheets of paper, and finally print something
useful on it — The Constitution of Humanity."
The woman glanced up from the monitor.
"Have you been getting enough sleep?"
"Only, this Constitution wouldn't be a
contract. Nobody's 'bound' by it — unlike the
motherfuckin' U.S. Constitution—"
"You definitely need more sleep. I'm going to
prescribe something that will help—"
"No, this is simply a 'thank you' note to the

"A what?!"

HOFFMAN LENSES 58
"A 'thank you' note to the Earth."
"William, I know I'm not your regular

"Thank you for being such a lenient landlord;

property — setting fire to it countless times;
killing most of our neighbors; and shitting in
the swimming pool the past 200 years of our

The woman snatched a conveniently placed
bottle of pills, and began filling a prescription.
"These are not over-the-counter, so the only
place you can get them is from me—"
The exhausted man grabbed her arm. "Are
you even listening?!"

It's known as the Overview Effect, and it's
that shock of reality astronauts feel when
staring back at Earth from off planet. Our
viewpoints tend to be myopic, due to our
skies appearing blue, the Sun shining, and the
fact we don't float away — thanks to a lack
of gravity.
As a result, most of us spend our entire
existences never realizing we're in space.
Such being so, we're perpetually engaged in
space travel. That means each and every one
of us on this planet is an astronaut.
As R. Buckminster Fuller inculcated: We're
aboard Spaceship Earth, traveling about this
Solar System.
Since we're all astronauts, why do we feel it's
necessary to wait for some corporate

back on it to experience the Overview Effect?

It's bread and circuses for the masses. Every

Do you consider yourself an independent

You're not. In fact, you're so blatantly
brainwashed, it would be laughable, if we
weren't all dying, as a result. To those
species currently watching Earth, and our
eradication from it, such is so apparent, it's
become our most salient trademark.
None of you are individuals. None of you think
as individuals.
Here's proof: "Work" comprises the
preponderance of your existence on this
planet. Yet, you go to "work," and never ask
who created it. You never question what
"work" is for. You never query how "work"
benefits humanity, or if it benefits humanity.
You never inquire as to whether "work" harms
our species, or if it harms you.

MENTICIDE 77
You just blindly go to "work" because your
ignorant parents — i.e. authority — beat it
into your skulls such was necessary. You go
to "work," due to the fact those who've
created this paradigm — in which you're
facing nuclear Armageddon every time you
breathe — promulgated you had to. You go to
"work" because everybody else is doing it.
And if you do something because everybody
else is doing it, how the fuck is it possible
you're an independent thinker?!
Uh oh. That moment of clarity, when a
massive portion of the facade vaporizes.
You don't think for yourself at all, do you? You

You don't feel you're brainwashed because
you're "American," and only people in other
"countries" are brainwashed. "The 'Chinese'
are brainwashed, and 'Russians' are definitely
brainwashed, but we're free in 'America,' so
it's different here."
If such is the case, were you born believing in
the supposed ideologies of "America"? Did
you breathe your inaugural breath, while

Consider the mass brainwashing it takes to
get billions of people to believe in:
A) something that provably doesn't exist
B) something that forces you to adhere to its

C) something that punishes you, if you fail to
do what it says, but purports it serves you.

MENTICIDE 81
If you were one person, desirous of
controlling somebody, wouldn't you simply
attack them, and thus overpower them?
Of course, as long as you felt you were
physically capable of doing so.
But what if you were one person who wanted
to control a group of people — say
330,000,000? Attacking them physically
would make no sense, would it?
Definitely not. You'd be killed in self-defense.
Attacking them mentally, however, would
provide you the ability to:
A) affect them all, and
B) coerce them to obey you without throwing
a punch.

HOFFMAN LENSES 82
If you want a group of dogs to enter a pen,
you don't physically attempt to round them
up. That would take forever. Some would be
obstinate, while others would comply. Once
you wrangled a couple of them, the
remainder would become stubborn, having
already left the enclosure. It would be a
circuitous mess, resulting in perpetual
frustration.
As such, you appeal to the minds of the
canines; more specifically, their fears.
There's an intrinsic hunger for survival
amongst animals. When you threaten a
member of a species with demise, it will do
whatever it can to keep from being killed.
Acquiescing to your desires, so it can stay
alive, will be the common reaction.
Offering a dog a treat is, upon giving it a

MENTICIDE 83
command, is not an act of kindness; it's a
sadistic form of brainwashing. It informs the
dog, "I feed you. Thus, I keep you alive. If I
decide not to feed you, you die. So, you'd
best do what I say, when I say it, or I'll starve
you to death."
Hence, giving a dog — or any animal — a
treat, to coerce it into acting the way you
wish, is evil. You're exerting control on
another being, and that's malevolence.
Since the most innate fear within all of us is
that of our demise, wouldn't it be logical to
use such apprehension against the masses,
to attain your objective?
Most definitely. Lie to them they're being
attacked, and then offer them "protection"
against those "attacking" them. The Mafia
does it all the time, and it's the most

HOFFMAN LENSES 84
effective method to achieve your goal.
Then why do you feel a government —
caught lying to you about everything else —
isn't doing this to you perpetually?
When it comes to television, there's a reason
it's called "programming." You're being
programmed to think, feel and act a certain
way. Programming is mind control; mind
control is brainwashing; and brainwashing is
menticide.
We've got a form of brainwashing
going on in our country…
Do you know how they brainwash
people? They repeat something over
and over. And that's what we do in
this country. Owning things is good.
More money is good. More property is
good. More commercialism is good.
More is good. More is good. We repeat
it — and have it repeated to us — over

In the Declaration of Independence, it states
"all men are created equal."
So, the women aren't inherently equal?! This,
alone, should shriek the delusional nature of
the fuckers writing this document.
Secondly, even though "all men are created
equal," suddenly Congress — government —
has the "right" to collect taxes from us, but
we don't have the right to do the same to it?
Before we even get this lemon started, all
men are no longer equal, are they?
But then, those designing the Declaration of

HOFFMAN LENSES 86
Independence did state we were all created
equal; they said nothing about perpetuating
that equality, did they?
They also promulgated we have "certain
unalienable rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Well,
the homeless and starving don't appear to be
living. They're the walking dead, at this point.
And since they can't change their situation —
because authority keeps stealing from, and
enslaving them, via its monetary system — it
sure seems they don't have Liberty.
And when somebody's watching their body
dissolve, due to exposure and malnutrition,
how the fuck are they supposed to Pursue
Happiness?!
Akin to a neutron bomb with a timer set to

anywhere near these germane questions.
Like all the queries I've asked in my other
books, there's zero refutation for the honest
motherfuckin' truth.
We're getting screwed more than free
hookers, but we don't care! We just kick back,
after a long day of subjugation, fire up the ol'
tube — like the drug it is — and inhale as
much Zyklon B as possible.
TV is an open portal straight to Hell in your
living room. Turn that fucker off! But you
can't, can you? You're as addicted to it as
money.
Even if you did conjure up the strength,
there's that insouciance impediment, isn't
there? The last bastion of apathy is:

HOFFMAN LENSES 88
"But I'm only one person. What can I do?"
or even more lame:
"There's nothing we can do."
I'm one person, and I've researched, written,
published and distributed 25 books, and 11
blogs, on these topics. Thousands of people
have read my literary efforts. Hence, I just
invalidated that first excuse.
If everyone individually decided there was
nothing they could do, you wouldn't be
reading this book, as the assholes in authority
would have vanquished us already. Hence,
enough people are obviously choosing to
fight, since the fuckers we've placed "in
charge" aren't holding themselves at bay.
This second justification is either laziness, or

MENTICIDE 89
what's known as learned helplessness.
In 1967, a dude named Martin Seligman
began shocking dogs at the University of
Pennsylvania. By "shocking," I'm not
referring to, "Look at that 85 pound, legless
cat with no teeth, nor claws, lying helpless!
Can you believe your luck, Fido?!" I'm talking,
administering electrical current to.
Seems a shitty hobby, since Playboy was
around then, and Martin could've just jacked-
off, in order to fill the open time slot, but at
least he wasn't a priest fucking kids.
Seligman coordinated an experiment
whereby three sets of dogs were harnessed.
The first group were not shocked. The second
subjects were electrified, but provided a
lever they could depress, in order to stop the
current. The third set was also electrocuted,

HOFFMAN LENSES 90
and given a useless triggering mechanism;
i.e. they could activate it, but it wouldn't end
the unwanted electricity surging through
their bodies.
As a result, the dogs in the second group
were taught they could stop their pain by
pushing the lever.
The last subset of canines were brainwashed
to believe there was nothing they could do
about their situation. No matter if they
depressed the trigger, fought to escape, or
simply laid there, they were going to get
shocked.
At the conclusion of this portion of the
experiment, it was clear the third group of
dogs were suffering from overt depression.
In order to test whether this type of

MENTICIDE 91
conditioning had other effects, all three sets
were placed in a pen where the floor was
electrified, but escape was easily possible by
a leap over a short wall. The dogs from the
first two sets leapt the barrier, to avoid being
shocked. However, the canines in the third
group laid down and whimpered as they were
electrocuted, even though they could've
easily escaped, simply by hopping the
partition.
Using similar conditioning, baby elephants in
India are tied to a post by an elementary
rope. Because this animal isn't very
physically strong at such a young age, it
quickly understands it can't free itself, and
acquiesces to it's constraints.
By the time the pachyderm is fully grown, it's
become so accustomed to being tethered by
this weak shackle, even though it can now

HOFFMAN LENSES 92
easily escape its confines, it doesn't attempt
to.
This type of "training" — learned
helplessness — also applies to humans, who
can fallaciously be led to believe their

it, similar to those canines, nothing happens.
You're still mercilessly stolen from,
subjugated, suppressed, surveilled and

no matter which corporate clown sits in the

Of course, in reality, we're anything but

There's no contest. If we decide something's
going to happen on this planet, it happens.
Authority — be it churches, government,
schools, etc. — only has control over us if we
allow it to. Thus, if we determine we will no
longer capitulate to the demands of those
we've placed in "power," their domination
ends immediately.
At this point, we perpetuate our own pain.
We're allowing those who are enslaving and
annihilating us, to do so. Thus, we currently
only have ourselves to blame.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES
The most dangerous and successful
conspiracies take place in public, in
plain sight, under the clear, bright
light of day — usually with TV
cameras focused on them.

Conspiracy theory: a phrase as common as
corrupt politician, greedy banker or pedophile
priest. Like so much patois, few consider
from whence this jargon derives.
The term conspiracy theory originates from
a CIA memo produced April 1st, 1967, in
response to negative public reaction
regarding the Warren Report. Recall, the
Warren Commission was created to
determine who assassinated President
Kennedy.
As an aside, aren't we all supposed to be
equal? Says so right there in the Declaration
of Independence, doesn't it? "All men are
created equal […]".
If such is the case, why is it when
congresspeople, kings, presidents, princes,
princesses and senators are slain, they're

CONSPIRACY THEORIES 99
"assassinated"? When plebeians like you and
I are killed, however, we're "murdered"?
Just thinkin' out loud…which is what writing
is.
Anyway, the Warren Commission provided its
conclusion — the Warren Report — to
President Johnson on September 24th,
1964. Three days later, these results were
bequeathed to the public. In response, 46%
of the populace would buy a home on the
caldera of an erupting volcano before they
bought the bullshit that Lee Harvey Oswald
acted alone.
Such sat as well with the CIA as a starving,
untrained, feral dog let loose in a chicken
coop.
This trend of opinion is a matter of
concern to the U.S. government,

HOFFMAN LENSES 100
including our organization. […]
Moreover, there seems to be an
increasing tendency to hint that
President Johnson himself, as the one
person who might be said to have
beneﬁted, was in some way
responsible for the assassination.
Innuendo of such seriousness affects
not only the individual concerned, but
also the whole reputation of the
American government. Our
organization itself is directly involved:
among other facts, we contributed
information to the investigation.
Conspiracy theories have frequently
thrown suspicion on our organization

Hence, government developed a strategy for
countering the truth, whenever somebody
astute enough to realize they were being
fucked, shouted from the highest hilltop. This
tactic was outlined in a memo known as
Central Intelligence Agency Document
Number 1035-960.

As a mission statement, this memorandum
boldly trumpets that reality — in the form of
public dissent — is to be discounted and
marginalized:
The aim of this dispatch is to provide
material for countering and
discrediting the claims of the
conspiracy theorists, as to inhibit the
circulation of such claims […] ***
*** Ibid.
According to 1035-960, disparaging
anyone speaking the truth is to be
accomplished via the following tactics:
[Discussing] the publicity problem
with liaison and friendly elite contacts
(especially politicians and editors) […].
****
**** Ibid.
This equates to using conventional media to
spread government propaganda. If

HOFFMAN LENSES 102
bureaucracy wants the public to believe
Oswald killed Kennedy, the press needs to
broadcast such to the masses.
After the CIA memorandum was published,
multitudinous mainstream news sources
reiterated the government rote regarding
JFK's murder. Full Sunday spreads, in major
newspapers, were devoted to seeding the
public with the "official" verdict.
These articles featured the nomenclature
and rhetoric specifically outlined in the CIA
memo 1035-960. Terms the likes of
"conspiracy," "conspiracy theories,"
"conspiracy theorists," and "no new
evidence" were employed in these news
editorials. These phrases come verbatim
from the 1967 Central Intelligence Agency
document in question.

Mainstream news stories were replete with
the concept that collusion beyond Oswald
acting alone would be too broad in scope to
conceal from the populace.
One of the modalities the CIA memo
suggests, in regard to discounting those
speaking the truth, is a method we hear and
see ubiquitously today:
Conspiracy on the large scale often
suggested would be impossible to
conceal in the United States […]. *****

"It's too big to cover up" is the lack of logic

[E]verything this system does is an

"Government?!" Hector spun on his bar stool,
entering the fray.
The steel cutter's mother had recently been
murdered, after bureaucracy withheld her
social security income for months, and she
was unable to pay rent. The 78 year old
woman — who'd been rendered homeless, as
a result — developed pneumonia, existing on
the street. Two months later, she'd flatline
on a moldy hospital bed wreaking of vomit, in
a neighborhood that looked like Pripyat, post-
Chernobyl.
The drunk was irascible, as he attempted to
focus across the bar. "Fuck government!"
More nervous than a convicted Nazi war
criminal speaking at a Jews for Justice
convention, patrons anxiously glanced about.
Save for the outspoken intoxicant, the hole-

SOCIAL CREDITING 111
in-the-wall became as silent as George Bush
on Jeopardy, after choosing the 9/11 Truth
category.
A middle-aged couple — who'd been flirting
with heatstroke, and ducked inside the gin
mill for as much rusty water as the saloon's
80 year old pipes could provide — gathered
themselves, and departed.
"Let me pull back the tattered curtain for
ya', and expose reality!"
Edgy, a man in wrinkled Kmart business
attire, detached a $3.99 clip-on, belched
back a $2.00 Highball, and fled for the exit.
"Government are the worst felons you could
ever imagine!" The words emitted from
LaRosa's mouth as easily as nonsensical
verbal diarrhea does Sean Hannity's

HOFFMAN LENSES 112
malformed gullet.
"They're millions of times more vile than, say
a Ted Bundy, or…Jeff Dahmer! Those
underachievers killed by the dozens.
Government has murdered billions!"
Every eye focused on Hector, who was too
inebriated to notice.
"And y'all keep votin' for 'em! Placin' 'em in
power, like you think the president, congress,
and these other scumfucks are your friends!"
Pat Boone ceased torturing the clientele from
the jukebox in the background. A spotlight
could've been as easily trained on the angry
drunk, as a starving dog trained to beg for a
treat.
"I ain't talkin' idiots with good intentions,

here. I'm talkin' genocide machines —
lacking feeling — who's only goal is to
destroy you!"
Sadie, the bartender, inconspicuously
reached for her cell phone. Reading Hector's
name off his credit card, she typed the man's
moniker into the keyboard, and immediately
pressed a downward arrow on screen. A
"750" incrementally decreased to a "480,"
and LaRosa's existence was instantly altered.
"What the fuck don't y'all understand about
this?!" Hector rambled for a few more
minutes, before paying his tab, and
wandering into the stale night air.
Above, a plane silently carved up the
troposphere, spraying heavy metal
particulates on the desert floor below.

HOFFMAN LENSES 114
From that day forth, the steel cutter would
no longer be able to rent a car, let alone buy
one. Shortly, thereafter, he'd be bequeathed
an eviction notice; management at his
apartment complex dubious to rent to
anybody displaying his "tendencies."
As far as leasing anywhere else, no
"reputable" establishment would cater to a
rogue with a social credit score as low as his.
Hence, he'd be forced to exist at a local
YMCA that hadn't yet installed SCS — social
crediting software. For six months
subsequent, he'd reside beneath an
interstate overpass.
He'd lose his "job," due to the fact he had
nowhere to shower, and reeked of body odor.
Shortly thereafter, the car he was sleeping in
would break down and be impounded, as he

couldn't move it, to keep it from being towed.
Three months later, desperate and starving,
Hector would be forced to rob a local
convenience store. Caught in the act, he'd
wind up incarcerated, his social credit score
plunging to irreversible depths.
Less than a year following, he'd find solace in
jail, paying a fellow inmate to kill him; too
frightened to take his own life. This final
injustice would cost no more than two packs
of cigarettes, and three porn mags. In the
end, that's what Hector LaRosa's existence
had been reduced to.
And it all transpired because he'd spoken out
against government, and been reported to
bureaucracy.
The above scenario may seem far-fetched,

HOFFMAN LENSES 116
but thanks to a system known as social
crediting, there's a strong plausibility your
presence on Earth could soon be based upon
your willingness to conform.
"China" has already implemented a voluntary
version of this known as Sesame Credits. By
the year 2020, the "Chinese" government
plans on making this scheme mandatory.
According to Hu Tao — Sesame Credits chief
manager — this system has been engineered
so that "untrustworthy people can't rent a
car, can't borrow money or even can't find a
job."
One's social credit rating will go so far as to
influence things like your Internet speed.
Should your score be lower, your Web access
will be reduced, in comparison to somebody
with a higher rating.

Certain entertainment venues — golf
courses, nightclubs, restaurants, etc. — will
be accessible only to those with higher
scores. Those with lower social credit ratings
will be relegated to a limited number of
communal activities.
In addition, travel will be banned to those
with poor social credit scores. Unless one
conforms to this system — and attains a high
enough rating — they won't be able to obtain
insurance, nor social security benefits.
Talk about backing one into a corner! If we
don't have insurance in the "United States,"
government steals even more from us on tax
day. Should a social credit system be
implemented in the "U.S.," if we fail to
conform to it, they won't allow us to obtain
insurance—

HOFFMAN LENSES 118
If you refuse to see the scam that's crushing
our skulls every breath we take, get the fuck
off this planet! You're killing all of us —
including yourself — and need to go
somewhere else where the weak-willed and
selfish congregate.
According to Sesame Credits, it won't matter
how much money you have in the bank; if
your social credit score is low, you won't be
able to take a step. Such is further proof — as
if you needed any more — that money has no
value.
According to Rachel Botsman — author of
Who Can You Trust?: How Technology
Brought Us Together and Why It Might Drive
Us Apart: "Life will become an endless
popularity contest, with us all vying for the
highest rating that only a few can attain."

And if you don't think social crediting is
coming to a fictitious territory where you
reside, consider the fact we're already rated
on Yelp. Our credit scores currently
determine whether or not we're able to
obtain apartments, homes and loans. Books
are rated; so too are CDs, DVDs, movies and
multitudinous other forms of entertainment.
In 2016, Peeple — an application in which
humans are assigned scores based upon their
interactions with others — made its debut in
the "U.S." With the app in question, everyone
you engaged was assigned a "Peeple
Number," and you either sliced and diced
ratings, or boosted them, dependent upon
how that person interacted with you. Lives of
folks inextricably linked to their scores were
at the mercy of those with whom they came
in contact.

HOFFMAN LENSES 120
If you need further proof a social crediting
system is knockin' at your door like a
Jehovah's Witness with two days left to exist,
check out the episode Nosedive from the
show Black Mirror. I haven't viewed TV in 15
years, but I'll research anything on YouTube,
when I'm informed it's relevant.
In the aforementioned segment, the main
character watches her life being dismantled,
as her social credit score is destroyed. She's
forced to conform to the system, and when
she doesn't, she finds herself not only denied
the basic necessities to survival, but
imprisoned.
You've heard the anti-mimesis "life imitates
art." Well, Nosedive aired late in 2016. We're
now deep into 2018. How much longer do we
wait to do something before social crediting
is slowly, steadily introduced into

the jail cells we currently call our "lives"?
But this type of Pavlovian training has been
existent since the dawn of authority. It's part
of the package: dividing and conquering;
turning people against each other. That's
why we've been brainwashed to believe in
such idiocy as "countries" and "foreigners."
Remove the monetary system from the
equation, and re-implement the paradigm
nature originally provided us — free and even
distribution of everything — and there's no
need to rate anybody, as if there ever was.
Nobody's stealing anymore, because we all
have access to the overabundance of
resources on this planet.
Even more frightening is that some people in
"China" already participating in the current
social crediting system feel it's necessary,

HOFFMAN LENSES 122
good and making people more ethical. Folks
are now purportedly stopping at red lights,
rather than running them.
What a fuckin' joke! People aren't obeying
traffic signals more readily because they've
become "ethical;" they're doing so because
they're scared. Fear and "morals" are two
different things. They still wanna run the red
lights, but they don't, because they're fuckin'
frightened of everyone and everything
around them. They're scared shitless if they
don't conform, and transgress in the
slightest, their ability to eat will be stolen
from them.
It doesn't get any more Pavlovian than that!
You threaten to take a dog's dinner away, and
it'll do whatever the fuck you want!
Moreover, drivin' around, flyin' planes — with

hundred of passengers on 'em — and
operating heavy machinery, isn't the type of
activity folks should be performing when
scared out of their wits. They're far more apt
to make mistakes, and as a result, people will
be injured or killed.
This is insanity! The fact so many feel
government has the "right" to tell them
what's "legal" and "illegal" is bad enough, but
now we believe bureaucracy should have
complete control over us?!
At what point does this reek of love for one's
servitude, as Aldous Huxley outlined in his
1962 speech The Ultimate Revolution?
If you are going to control any
population, for any length of time,
you must have some measure of
consent. It's exceedingly difficult to
see how pure terrorism can function
indeﬁnitely. {…} Sooner of later, you
have to bring in an element of
persuasion; an element of getting

HOFFMAN LENSES 124
people to consent to what is
happening to them. […]
We are in process of developing a
whole series of techniques which will
enable the controlling oligarchy —
who have always existed, and
presumably always will exist — to get
people actually to love their servitude.
[E]verything this system does is an
attempt to squash your humanity, and
to squash any caring or empathy we
have from each other. It's all about

thing we'll ever do is sustain said system.
Those we view as authority will never allow us

The recurrence throughout history of

mindless broken record? Why do we
continue to allow leaders ― who are

armed confrontation and war? In the
worst instances, why do we let people

other people's lives? What becomes of
our individual consciences? Why do
we not stand up for what we feel?
One explanation is our trance-like
state, which lets us believe the ones

embroidered on it, and the number of folks
obeying authority drastically declines.

AUTHORITY 137
Our society is divided into a hierarchy
whereby some members are viewed as
authority, while others aren't. We don't often
doubt those afforded prestigious positions,
but those who haven't warranted credibility
are marginalized or discounted.
Refer to yourself as a doctor, and most will be
hesitant to question you. Toil as a fast food
slave, and you'll receive a vastly different
response, even though the information the
latter has to dispense may be more valid than
what the former is imparting.
The president assumes a particular role in our
minds, as do congresspeople, governors and
senators. In contrast, somebody who's
homeless — although they may be extremely
smart, and speaking the truth — are often
ignored.

University, proving the lethal nature of
adherence to authority. º ºº

A classified was placed seeking subjects for
an experiment. Allegedly, these trials were an
effort to determine whether inducing
punishment — in the form of pain — caused
people to learn more readily.
Applicants were divided into groups of two —
denoted "learner" and "teacher" — and
separated into adjacent rooms. The learner
could hear the teacher, as he spoke into a

AUTHORITY 139
microphone, and the teacher could ostensibly
hear the learner through the wall between
them. Neither were able to see one another.
With an authority figure present — a
"scientist" in a white lab coat — the teacher
was instructed to speak a word association
test through the mic.
Strapped to a chair, and wired to a source of
"electrical current," the learner was directed
to answer, by pressing one of four buttons on
a numeric pad in front of him. If the learner
gave the correct response, the teacher
would move on to the next question. Should
the learner provide an incorrect answer, the
teacher was mandated to administer a
voltaic shock to the learner, and then
proceed further into the test.
In front of the teacher was a large

HOFFMAN LENSES 140
switchboard, complete with toggles at
regular intervals. Above these switches were
demarcations denoting the amount of
voltage per lever. With each incorrect
answer, the number of volts increased by 15.
Below the dosages were designated terms
like "Moderate Shock," "Very Strong Shock,"
"Extreme Intensity Shock," "Danger: Severe
Shock," and finally "XXX." In this way, unless
the teachers were blind or illiterate, they
knew full well how dangerous the electricity
was they were delivering to the learner.
In addition, each teacher was shocked once
themselves, prior the experiment, in order to
provide them a barometer, as to the level of
pain they'd be inflicting. Immediately
afterward, the authority figure in the lab coat
would ask them to venture a guess regarding
how much voltage they received.

AUTHORITY 141
Invariably, the teachers believed they had
been given far higher a dosage than the 45
volts they had actually been administered.
They now had personal comprehension of
how painful even a slight dose of electricity
was, let alone a lethal amount of 450 volts.
One might surmise, after delivering an
electric shock to someone, and hearing
screams of protest emanating from the
opposite side of the wall, a person would stop
administering such agony. One would be
correct…but only a partial percentage of the
time.
Two-thirds of the teachers delivered lethal
shocks to the learners, simply because the
authority in the white lab coat ordered them
to. This is proof positive these people
became anything but individuals, and failed
to think for themselves.

HOFFMAN LENSES 142
Consider the ramifications of that, as this
trial has been conducted thousands of times
over the years, by multitudinous
experimenters. Provided circumstances of
the test remain constant, the same
percentage of folks are so brainwashed,
they're willing to kill another human being,
because authority tells them to do so. That
means two-thirds of the population would
shock you to death, if ordered by authority.
A substantial proportion of people do
what they are told to do, irrespective
of the content of the act, and without
limitations of conscience, so long as
they perceive that the command
comes from a legitimate authority. If,
in this study, an anonymous
experimenter could successfully
command adults to subdue a 50 year
old man, and force on him painful
electric shocks against his protests,
one can only wonder what government
— with its vastly greater authority and
prestige — can command of its
subjects.

AUTHORITY 143
ººº Ibid.

If that isn't definitive proof regarding how
dangerous it is to believe authority has the
"right" to command people, nothing is.
Dress a mass murderer in a suit, and folks
have been brainwashed to believe he's
"successful," superior and somebody they
should listen to. Put a serial rapist in a cop
uniform, and suddenly he can order you
around, and you feel forced to comply.
I would say, on the basis of having
observed a thousand people in the
experiment and having my own
intuition shaped and informed by
these experiments, that if a system of
death camps were set up in the United
States of the sort we had seen in Nazi
Germany, one would ﬁnd sufficient
personnel for those camps in any
medium-sized American town.

Nobody was actually shocked during the
Milgram Experiments, as no current ran
through the electrical wires between the
teacher and the learner. Moreover, the latter
was always an actor, working on behalf of
these tests, to determine to what extent the
"teachers" would go, when coerced by
authority. The cries of anguish delivered by
the learner were actually prerecorded
responses, played at the various "voltaic"
intervals, by those conducting the
experiment.

"Wow! You really like to work," exclaimed the
faceless, cookie-cutter manager. You've
never missed a shift," the woman smiled,
delusional, myopic and brainwashed to the
point of extreme mental illness.
I grinned, asking myself, "Did this
indoctrinated idiot really believe I wanted to
work? Could she seriously be that insane she
thought I hungered to be enslaved?!
Of course I didn't want to work. I wanted to
go to fuckin' "Florida." In order to do so,
unfortunately I needed money.
Hence, the last thing I desired to do was
enslave myself. Because we all resided in a
concentration camp for a society, however,
that's what I was forced to do, in order to
pursue my passions.

This woman was so severely brainwashed,
though, she actually believed I wanted to
work! Didn't she realize if I didn't have to
enslave myself, in order to move to another
"state," she'd never see me again?
At my "job," I collected recently used cutlery
and dishes, from people I'd never met, in
order to survive. Proof I didn't want to work
came in the fact this wasn't what I did in my
spare time. I didn't wander into homes,
gather folks' soiled plates, dispose of their
half-eaten dinner, and leave.
This brainwashed babe couldn't see that
obvious fact, due to malware written into the
hard drive known as her brain. Through
intensive inculcation, she'd been lied to that
work was just that; work, even though
everything about it reeked of slavery. It had
been beaten into her skull work was good, and
