This Is Not America

      This is not the America most of us grew up in. What it has become is eerily reminiscent of the beginning of Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s. We are in a transitory period as was Rome after the fall of it’s Republic. When that happened a dictator of sorts arose to rule the empire. Today, the dictator is not one man, but rather an entity of powerful “men in the shadows” who are controlling almost all aspects of life in the old United States. World opinion backs this up as the consensus is that we are not even a democracy, but an autocracy. Not “for the people” but for the rich elitist ruling class.

       How did this happen? Many reasons, one is that when you don’t teach history, which we don’t, we repeat all the mistakes from the past. Another is that in the name of progress we have allowed our entire education system to be infected with the cancer of wokeness destroying the basis of the society. 

       We sat by and allowed consolidation of media which ended any objectivity and after that followed the end truth. We have allowed a small number of corporate voices to pretend to be the voice of society. Many have gone along because the elite know that conformity, the desire to fit in and be liked, is a very strong human trait. The use of this and other psychological techniques have opened the door for what President Trump has labeled ‘fake news.”

      The faux Russian collusion theory, Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation lie, the entire “vaccination hoax, and the list goes on. The evidence that what we have been told by mainstream media is either false or lacking the full picture(half-truths) usually comes months later in the form of official declassified documentation, real world examples, and from multiple award winning mainstream media journalists who have committed the rest of their lives and risked their careers to let the public know how the media has deceived people.

      Many have come to the correct conclusion that mainstream media often does have an agenda, and will push their own version of ‘fake news,’ while at the same time, labeling other narratives, perspectives and evidence as the real ‘fake news.’ That has always been known as propaganda, a one-sided, don’t your dare question us half-truth or outright lie. What’s required in this time of smoke and mirror confusion is doing your own research, and seeking independent media sources outside the sphere of western propaganda to better understand our world.

      Lincoln said that America would not be taken down from an outside force, but it would collapse because of corruption from the inside. It is happening now yet most people don’t see it. How long will we last if we no longer are awake?
