Q: Are we not men? A: We are Devo. That says it all. This has been the plan executed by the conspiracy. The conspiracy has been hard at work beginning with Woodrow Wilson, whose term as president was marked with the illegal enactment of the income tax. The conspiracy was forced to lay dormant until after WWII when the election of Eisenhower brought the Republican party to power. The CIA tried to hasten the process with mindcontrol experiments like Blue Bird, Artichoke and MK-Ultra, which resulted in the notorious Jonestown Massacre. It also lead to the widespread use of LSD which was first distributed by the CIA to test its affects on the human mind and to see if it could aid in the creation of a variable Manchurian candidate. It did. We saw the first zombie committed assassination in 1968 when RFK was killed by Surhan-Surhan. Anyways the CIA's work only created bad press so the conspiracy lay dormant once more during the tumultuous 60s and early 70s. Nixon didn't help much nor did the war. It was Reagan who got them on track again with his many evil republican plans. The closing of public mental institutions, just flooding the gene pool with lunatics, tax breaks for wealthy corporations whose products would only serve to create the warm, moist, consumer environment needed for devolution to grow, MTV etc. One of his most insidious acts was the privatization of public schooling which created the system of fear and failure that dominates our schools today. By treating school like a job they weed out the sociopathic, corporate zombie children and prep them for a life as an executive. These are the kids who are complete idiots but have 4.0 GPAs. Next they aim to destroy the children who prove a threat to this system (such as myself) by boring us to death with stupid, pointless work. Despite the easy level of this work we lose interest and our grades slip. We're blamed by the administration and parents are not "applying ourselves enough". Then there are the kids who are just so stupid or stoned to do anything. They have maybe a half a neuron that lights up in their heads. O.K. I'm exaggerating that. These are the consumers. They buy the ADIDAS, the Nikes etc. They shop at Holister, Aeropostle, American Eagle or sometimes Hot Topic and feed the machine. That's their purpose: to consume. The system is designed to make them fail. It's designed to make people like me fail. It's designed to devolve us. They sit in their temples preaching capitalism and abstinence but we all know which one of those two ideas is really practiced. The consumers drop out, they get dead end jobs and they screw. This happens enough times and the devolution process takes place. It's taking place. You have the morons in the streets and the rich morons in the towers and then the truly smart people die out.
