1913 ish, things turned. Wilson, the FED, [failed] League of Nations. Advent of radio and decline of education ... all of these trace back to the early 1910's.
I wouldn't say delusions though. The subterfuge is done in the open. The public is manipulated via selective sharing and molding of information. It's easy once you have control of enough of the information flow and the people become passive consumers of information.
Study the court decisions, especially the constitutional law ones. It's almost as though somebody flipped a light switch. Rank dishonesty kicked in, in the late 1930's.
At this point the whole thing is a massive house of cards. It's going to collapse of its own weight at some point, it can't be sustained. I'm of a mind that the inevitable collapse is viewed as desirable by the elites, because such social upheaval is violent, and the elites tend to profit from violence and wars.
I was going to say the same thing. The advent of the early 20th century Progressives is when this nonsense all began.
I wonder if there is enough of us willing to put it back together. I think some of these older liberals have to go... one way or another.
We need to abolish the Department of Indoctrination (Education), just for starters.
All correct, except I think it began much earlier than 1913. And today we have come to accept as normal the government taking half of what we earn and using it to control everything that we do.
If you stop to think about all the government permissions; the licenses, permits, registrations, regulations and restrictions imposed by all levels of government, there is precious little liberty, if any at all, left in America today. Combine that with the never-ending barrage of propaganda from the popular media...
Yeah. Sheep in a pen.
