They are very much still in control.

[mudra]

They can control education but they can't control your inner truth
They can control religion but they can't control your foundation as a soul
They can control the law but they can't control the higher law of ONE
They can control politics but they can't control pure Love
They can feed your mind with fear and terror
But the choice to step into your heart is entirely yours.
If there is one thing they will never be able to take from yourself is who you really are.
Even if they take your life away you will still remain for soul is your foundation.

Love always
mudra
