And there is the problem. The system cannot exist without the current media. The media needs to change before the system can.

Lets take Australia. Before Obombas "pivot to Asia" in 2018, China was viewed as a friendly country, and generally in a positive light. Fast forward with four years of intense propaganda and brainwashing, and now nearly half are ready to go to war against China (Yougov poll as per the Guardian article).

Compare this to Ukraine where Ukrainian and Russian relations were viewed as brotherly, and a very close kinship for centuries. Since 2014, the same indoctrination and propaganda has now turned a large portion of Ukraine in to a hysterical anti-Russian society. This bias was of course confirmed after the invasion - which was exactly what was intended. This included the use of some extreme ideology that was useful for this purpose. This in turned has created a self feeding system for generations.

Now eight years later, I see Ukrainians boiling severed Russian heads, and torturing them before killing them. All this after only 8 years!. I wonder what Australians will be willing to do after another 4 years....

It shows that we are still a very primitive species that can be manipulated so easily. And the media is to blame for pushing this agenda. It is not the source of the problem. I don't think we can change the actual source. It is however, our avenue for information, and can be changed.

With immense love for your words and truth and spirit, there are some for whom organized religion is good ... I'm not among them, but I remember a humbling experience with a podcaster who was interviewing Dr Meryl Nass .. I forgot her name, she had dual Canadian and American citizenship, blonde hair, seemed like a sweet lady. She was quoting the Bible and clearly Christianity was core in her life, also as a guiding light to understand and have strength to fight the sociopathic narrative control of current times. There was something so innocent and authentic to how she came across, and the contrast between the goodness I felt from her and the disdain my former tribe may have, instinctually, for someone who quotes the Bible (especially being counter to the official covid narrative) ... was sad to behold.

Jus sayin, there are many ways to interact with religion .. for some it's wasteful, hypocritical .. others focus on the judgemental things supposedly said in the books they take literally ... this podcast woman seemed to exist in a realness of love that for her was intertwined with religion.
