My fear is how many people THINK they are free.

Judging by the comments on MSM it is many.

It seems they don't understand when they are being lied and for a good reason.

Advertising everywhere, obviously some of us try to ignore many things but advertising is one of the most insidious ways of skewing people's minds. It doesn't have to be a product it can be anything from "why should you vote for"/ "Russia will start a war unless we bomb the hell out of it."

How many people today think the world is heating up and why? Somewhere in our brains we know it is true but then we are told it's bullshit by people who need to make more money.

When something is repeated over and over again it seeps into that brain and no one is exempt.

I don't know whether this is dystopian (probably) my only answer is to get those TeeVee's out of your homes. Then think of something you've just read and try to remember what else has been said. Critical thinking.

What interests me about both the Nordstrom pipeline/Twin Towers people don't want to think it's their own Govt. who has done this, neither would I BUT there is enough reading matter on websites for you to be able to distinguish what is right/wrong/probable etc. Just do it.

You are right; no one exempt. We all hear what we want to hear and are works in progress.

Does that statement carry a sarcasm alert ?

Hi Che.

I am thinking of a bottle of shampoo! It's advertised on the Tee Vee as the best most wonderful product, it even cleans dishes! When the person buys it and finds out (perhaps) or reads what's in it and sees it is no different than others. Does this assume one has been lied to and you never again buy any product that has been advertised?

Similarly with people in control: once one has lied do you believe them again?

I have a nasty suspicion they will.

Priming the well is a con artist trick. They say the thing far in advance so when you hear it again you are emotionally triggered to be more inclined to accept as true.
