All this is very easy to see. One need only look to get the "overview effect". But most of the world's population has been well trained to believe what they are told to believe by their schools, their major media, and their governments du jour. I was just having the conversation with my daughter (after which she demanded that I never speak of this in public) trying to point out that all major news stations report the exact same facts almost immediately after any event. This can only mean that not one of the so-called journalists did any work at all, or there would be conflicting accounts, and that all "news" comes from a single source. Why is it so easy for us to believe that the guy next door can take his guns into the public schools and shoot his friends for no gain of any kind (and usually end up dead) but so hard to believe entities that stand to gain billions of dollars would kill a few thousand? 9/11 was a market development stunt, as are many if not all of the mass shootings, and all staged events resulting in calls for war. I'm happy to have come across you. Thanks for upvoting my comment on futuremind's post or I might not have.
