How the U.S. is like a casino

Thanks to entrainment, the house always wins

Despite a “deadly pandemic,” the Las Vegas Strip had $13.6 billion in total revenue in 2020, with almost $5 billion attributed to gaming. Why is this patently corrupt concept so wildly successful?

The answer, my friend, is kinda-sorta blowin’ in the wind — and it’s called “entrainment.” 

Casino owners are fully aware that they are parasites with no redeeming social value. Therefore, they must actively program their “guests” into becoming willing subjects in a horrifying experiment.

A few (of many) examples:

• You play with chips instead of real money to reduce the impact of your losses.

• They give out free alcohol to keep your thinking impaired and if you spend enough money, you might get complimentary meals and possibly even a room.

• No clocks can be found inside the casino and you won’t find any views of the outside world. When kept out of touch, you are more susceptible to aligning with the rhythms of this artificial environment. 

• On the rare occasion when someone hits on a slot machine, you will bear witness to an orgy of light and sound — increasing your desire to also be a “winner.”

“Casinos are intentionally designed to be labyrinthine,” explains journalist, Steven John. “There are no straight aisles leading to exits or clear pathways from one section of the playing floor to the next. Instead, curving paths and strategically placed gaming sections are intended to catch your attention as you wander through, convincing you to stop and try a round of roulette or throw a few dollars into a poker machine when you were originally on your way to the restroom or even out the exit.”

Let’s recap: We live in a society in which all of the above manipulations are widely known and widely accepted. Yet, you saw the numbers I posted above. How about this: It’s estimated that global casinos and online gambling generate at least $227 billion in revenue per year.

So yeah, we know we’re being played but yet, so many of us willingly go along. 

Sound familiar?

If the gambling business is run in such a psychologically devious way, why would you imagine the government, intelligence agencies, transnational corporations, and central banks aren’t doing even worse? I mean, aren’t they also parasites with no redeeming social value?

It all comes down to a concept called entrainment. 

We each have our rhythms. Our 24-hour circadian cycle informs us when to eat, sleep, etc. It also explains why long-distance travel can be so exhausting. Eventually, however, we can and often do adapt to other rhythms. This is entrainment in action.

In technical terms, entrainment refers to “an individual's chrono-biological, physical, and behavioral relationship with their environment.” Our brainwaves will “naturally synchronize to the rhythm of periodic external stimuli, such as flickering lights, speech, music, or tactile stimuli.”

Re-read the above section on casinos for a reminder of how easily this reality can be exploited for nefarious gains. 

Depending on your age, you can certainly identify imposed trends that caused your collective biology/psychology to adapt to an anti-nature, profit-driven rhythm. Television, automobiles, suburban sprawl, 9-to-5 jobs, desk jobs, computers, cell phones, social media, pharmaceuticals — the list goes on, as does the reprogramming. 

Bad News: Everything you claim to like, value, or believe is quite possibly the result of conscious manipulation of your brainwaves. And now, they’re dreaming of neural implants, microchips, digital currency, and worse in our future. A State-Intelligence-Corporate cabal is hard at work — 365/24/7 — to control, impoverish, enslave, and dehumanize you. 

Good News: When your circadian rhythms are thrown off by, say, working a night shift or traveling across time zones, you can actively correct the glitch and recapture control of your physiology. The same goes for the entrainment being imposed upon you by the powers that shouldn’t be. The choice, as always, is yours. 

Whose rhythm is guiding your life and are you even remotely aware of it?

2024 Addendum: As I re-read this post now, I can’t help but view it through the lens of what’s become of “truthers,” “free thinkers,” and the “medical freedom movement.” They’re willfully victimized by entrainment, too.

In the casino, they’re metaphorically patting themselves on the back for having the awareness to choose blackjack while the “sheep” gather around the slot machines in their masks.

To repeat, entrainment refers to “an individual's chrono-biological, physical, and behavioral relationship with their environment.” Until you embrace your inner awareness, you’re occupying the same environment as those you deride. It’s a false conflict and, unless shifted, the only winners are The Powers That Shouldn’t Be™.

Please cash in your chips and leave the casino.
