“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.”
“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.”
Who spoke the previous quotes? Mark Twain. His statements still apply. Don’t ever assume you are actually getting the truth from any source. There are people who are mentally lazy who will try to convince you that they know what they are talking about, and.then there are those who will purposely and deliberately try to deceive you. You see them every day and governments around the world have a plethora of such people.
My suggestion? Take everything you hear from any government with a huge grain of salt. Governments are adept at orchestrating reality and getting you to buy into it. They are depending on you being mentally lazy. They can do this because they have set up the game to where you, the individual, have few options as far as contesting what they say. Try to see it for what it is–orchestration.
