RE: Some of the lenses and filters I sometimes look through
Well put........ "government is bureaucratic, slow, incompetent, inefficient and unable to conspire its way out of a wet paper bag". It's easy to get sucked into the conspiracy theories but it's somehow easier to get sucked into the propaganda governments offer us. The first thing to ask is .... who's profiting? follow the money. The middle east is a good example. Create a boogyman (ISIS) and destabilize the world and feed everyone a bunch of BS based on fear.
Thank you, @trendwizard, you have your way with words too, I see:
Precisely. With the proviso that I wouldn't call it "government propaganda" because I see it as evident government has been hijacked and has itself become a shadow on Plato's cave wall, not the player itself. It is the propaganda of big banks, corporations, media, the military-industrial complex, in short, if you forgive my lack of a better word, the "illuminati elite".
Oh, the 9/11 Commission did just that, but they found this trail only leads to law-abiding American citizens, not to a bunch of desert mountain cave dwelling ragheads, so they did not pursue that venue further... ;)
These messages hurt at first, but liberate from the fear and hopelessness in the long run.
