When you read quotes from H.L. Mencken and John D. Rockefeller from over a century ago describing how government schools, in conspiracy with Big Business, had the sole purpose of matriculating non-thinking, non-questioning, standardized robotic workers into the workforce, you understand why the country is in such a state of degeneracy, degradation, debt, and dumbed down state of infantilism. This didn’t happen over night.
It was a plan implemented methodically over the last century by those controlling the levers of society. They were described succinctly by Edward Bernays in his 1928 book Propaganda as:
“Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
These men operate in the shadows; have enormous wealth which they use to buy politicians, academics, government bureaucrats, the media, international organizations, and technological platforms; and have a primary objective of increasing their wealth, power and control, while enslaving the working class in debt, and keeping them distracted with high tech bread and circuses. Even though a few slip through their net, educate themselves, think critically, question everything, and distrust their government, they probably comprise less than 5% of the population.
After decades of government indoctrination, propaganda, disinformation, and Big Corporation poisoning of mind and body, the ignorant masses have become so mentally and physically debilitated they are incapable of comprehending how they have been manipulated and misled and unequipped to revolt against their captors. The covid/vaccine scamdemic was the ultimate test, and the ignorant masses failed miserably. The noose is tightening and they are still focused on Taylor Swift, the stock market, climate change, border invasion, and ongoing presidential political clown show.
...
They have a number of irons in the fire to utilize in taking away more of your liberties, freedoms, rights, and wealth. These irons include: possible war with Iran, Russia, and China; possible civil war initiated with Texas over the border invasion; the fake climate emergency; Disease X or some other fake health crisis; denying Trump the presidency in 2024 through illegal means; and whatever financial crisis they create as cover for more pillaging the national treasury.
The Great Taking/Great Reset is real. They want it all and they will take it, if we let them. You will own nothing, if they have their way. They have the power and will not relinquish it willingly. The power will need to be reclaimed through the use of force, cunning, and surprise. We can’t let them set the rules of the conflict. The 5% constituting the critical thinkers will need to convince a portion of the ignorant masses to start thinking. We will need to throw sand into the gears of their machinery. The middle level bureaucrats doing the bidding of the elite ruling class, will need to worry about whether they will make it home at night to their families. Removing ourselves from their system will further degrade their system.
Apathy and passivity are no longer possible when they are trying to strip you of your wealth and force you into their digital gulag of CBDCs and social credit scores. Obedience to corrupt, powerful, psychopaths who want us dead is an unacceptable choice for me. Voting is absolutely worthless at this point. The politicians are not running anything. The system has been rigged to benefit the few, while impoverishing the rest. When they pull the plug on this system, they have “legally” arranged for all the wealth to be consolidated in their hands. We know what they want. The question is whether we allow it to happen.
Dewey was in this up to his eyeballs.

It’s time for a new Pinochet.
Why do you think they were so insistent about legalizing marijuana?
It’s because they want armies of stoned stupid low info folks to do their bidding.
Trump has no fear of critical thinkers. He’s been having to deal with mob thinkers, insane thinkers and haters
He’s a critical thinker quite at home with other critical thinkers
Wait ... what?
If you can hold your nose for a minute and try to imagine being one of “them”, everything they’re doing makes perfect sense. The left is very good at getting what they want.
Why do we suck so bad in comparison?
(an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.)
30 years ago, I would have called that a tinfoil, nut-job conspiracy theory.
These days......🤔🤔🤔
We suck by comparison with the left, because some on the right are honorable and don’t want to stoop to their tactics, and some of those who claim to be on the right are actually in collusion with the left, especially in Congress.
Well said...
“Thank a teacher!”
I was suspicious of them when I was a kid.
I was right!
And since almost the beginning of time this has been the more attractive for too many people.

Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell, 1984
Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
George Orwell, 1984
The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.
George Orwell, 1984
It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.
George Orwell, 1984
I was thinking trannies in grade school.
Teaching a generation to believe what they are told no matter what the facts are.
I think you’re not incorrect
Mellow the masses
