Smoke and Mirrors…
People ask me why I titled my site “Smoke and Mirrors…and the Art of Critical Thinking”. Let me see if I can sum it up.
Our physical world is built on systems. The ordinary people claim that the systems are broken. However, the systems that run the world were designed by the wealthy. They always have been throughout history. They are designed by the elite and built by the masses under the auspice that the masses have the chance to become part of the elite, at least in the “free” western world. The systems are running just as they were designed by those who designed them. Perfectly, in their opinion.
The bankers designed a system to make sure the masses stay in debt. There is no profit for those in control in the fiat monetary banking system when people are not in debt.
The pharmaceutical companies designed their system to make sure that the population stays sick and unhealthy in order to become monthly subscribers to pills rather than actual healing. There is no profit in healing.
The gun manufacturers, or rather the military industrial complex designed their system to make sure the world stays at war. Peace does not sell weapons. There is no need for weapons when everything is at peace.
The governments were designed to make sure that that the capitalist systems described above run smoothly. So, the government systems are designed to give the illusion that the entire systems run smoothly and are done according to the rule of law. Keeping in mind that the rule of law is designed and created by the elite people that are in the government creating the rule of law. So, the rules of law are designed to protect the integrity of the systems that the elite created in order to keep the masses in their place of building the systems that control the masses.
The mass media is the PR machine of the government. Nothing more. And it was designed to make sure the public never learns the truth about how things actually are. They are in place to yell “oh, look, a squirrel” to distract the masses from looking behind the curtains that will reveal the truths about the corrupt nature of the elite and the systems that they built.
Once you learn to see through the PR machine of the “Smoke and Mirrors” and the “oh, look a squirrel” kind of lies and deceit of the manufactured news machine and its place in keeping the masses in a catatonic state of understanding, once you understand this, you will understand everything.
It is the matrix that the elite have created. Are you consuming the red pill or the blue pill?
