Very informative article. When I read it I could hear your voice narrating it, I just had to insert the "DUH's." Merry Christmas to you and your family Greg.
Hi Gregory.. wow, a fantastic article. Everything you wrote about happened right in front of my eyes. I knew it was going on, however, I just could not stop it. I tried talking to people I knew, but their eyes just glazed over and they just didn't want to hear it. Now, 14 years later, housing prices are skyrocketing and so are interest rates. I've kept my family out of debt except for our mortgage. Thank God we have a 3.25% interest rate.
You keep writing, I'll keep listening and maybe we all get thru this together. Thank you for your ability to keep it simple for me to understand. A lot of writers will not tell the truth. They just try to scare the hell out of me. I appreciate you and keep up the good work you do...
Goring's WWII sentiments sound eerily similar to why the Omnibus bill just passed. The masses don't come out in numbers against such porkulous spending nonsense because they're being led to slaughter by the mainstream propagandists. And, so the sheep either believe that Russia is bad or that the politicocorporatists have their best interest in mind...or both. Or maybe it's just that the average Joe is too busy with sports or his shows to give a shit.
And this...I don't think the average American fears war...We believe that war will never come to our shores. And this is a problem because fear is a motivator. Fear moves people out of their comfort zones, out of complacency, and into action.
But of course...As Greg mentions, how can people be fearful and therefore motivated to act if they're lulled into a false sense of security? "Keeping people distracted through the use of the mass media is a very decisive tool. Up until the last days of WWII the German people believed that they were winning the war because that is what the media was telling them."
Below is Goring's quote.
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."
American exceptionalism is part of the cause of US ambivalence. How can such fine people destroy themselves? The lot is already cast. The answer is in the wings.
When those in power no longer fear that the people will push back against their chicanery, they are free to pillage, rape, and murder. And while rising up and striking fear into the hearts of the powerful might do the trick if we had the numbers, there are very few of us willing to pay the price for such an endeavor. As I see it currently, our choices are death, J6 type incarceration, or subsisting as slaves. Fear is a powerful motivator, in both directions.
