Deception

Information, Truth, and Dialectics. A very useful article by former U.S. Army Officer.

“There is a lot of deception going on right now in front of our faces. It’s everywhere we look and is far more prevalent than the average person realizes. It’s difficult to receive accurate information. The media plays a huge role in promoting the deception. Those narrative brokers that control the media push their desired ideas on the rest of us, creating layers of obscurity to mask reality from our gaze. It makes it extremely frustrating to understand what is going on and who to trust. Analyzing information becomes so difficult that the truth of what is going on in our world eludes many of us to a large degree and eludes all of us to at least some degree. It’s impossible to have a fully accurate picture of what’s going on in the world. This is by design. Those who want to achieve an oligarchy over the world want it that way. As a general rule, there is an inverse relationship between mainstream media consumption and awareness. In other words, the more mainstream news you consume, the less informed you’ll be.”
