After finally realizing that 'news' programs, newspapers, pundits and literally every other form of public information was nothing more than utter bullshit, put together just for "us".....I have just about stopped watching, reading or listening to any of it. Most especially, if I truly want to know something, or actually seek the truth about any given subject.
Oh, I occasionally scan CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, etc., but it's more just to see how badly each one has reported on something I already know the facts about. Invariably, each outlet will have a different slant on the same damned story. Sometimes the extremes are so obvious, when the original story gets twisted in such a way as to not even resemble the facts. This happens all the time. It is indeed worrisome to know most people don't see this deception. They don't even question what they see-hear-read. To most, if it gets said on TV or written in a newspaper, then it's "gospel !!!!!" End of story. Certainly, hopefully, pleadingly....I hope you're not one of them. You have to work at it, not to be. The relentless bombardment of lies, deception, and manipulation is fierce, constant and never-ending.
People watch these "(dis)information" shows, like 'History Channel' or 'Discovery Channel' etc, etc, and fully believe these shows are put together by knowledgeable experts, in their respective fields, and what they are being told is carved in stone. No errors! They saw it on TV!!!!
I KNOW none of them has researched the channels themselves for accuracy and honesty. Or truly know a damned thing, factually, about what's being told to them. So they systematically accept what they've just seen on the tube, as truth, as fact....and presume they have just been told the unvarnished truth. They ALWAYS have. No matter what it is, if they have been told by an official or seen or heard or read something in the "Mainstream News" venues, then that's the way it is...No questions asked...or answered. Robots. They are now nothing but functioning, programmed, idiot robots. Good for consuming, producing, and borrowing money. That's all. Period.
You've heard of the movie franchise "The Matrix." The people I have described above are "In the Matrix." Caught up in the web of uniformity, in every part of their little, useless lives. No longer considered individuals. They are a gaggle. A large group. A gathering of fools, followers and ultimately- victims. Every damned last one of em. Too bad, this.
It also reminds me of that movie "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Think about it a little. One by one, everybody is slowly taken over by an invisible force as they slept. To be programmed into docile, obedient citizens. Rank and file. Or eliminated all together. The last of the unaffected scramble madly to escape being 'taken.' But in the end, the programmed people have all turned against all the independent individuals. The only way the unaffected could be recognized is when they showed any emotion. And eventually, and as they slept, they were all 'taken' into this world of nothing, in the end, that's how it happened. Remember??
