REASON TO BELIEVE
“If I listened long enough to you, I’d find a reason to believe it’s all true.” The lyrics from a song by Rod Stewart, but so meaningful as part of whom and what we are as human members of this peculiar and likely very special species. We make our way through the mundane chores, one after another, that we’ve come to know as the active part of our life. Our chores include our job or career (if the job is a good paying one), finding food and cooking it, making our shelters safe and viable, transporting ourselves around with all the complexity of that, and finally monitoring and working with our social interactions, from family to friends and more.
While we went our way through every day and night we are bombarded by voices and images seeking to impose an artifice of reality over reality itself. This new phenomenon is one so fresh that our genetic code has no protections built in to guard us from harm. We have been on the planet as this species, very slowly evolving, for some three million years or more, but we’ve never encountered this kind of new guiding influence which can spell great success for the transmission of our genetic material or can kill us in a geologic instant. We all are being given a reason to believe, and in believing we are becoming part of a pre-conceived package intended to support the success strategies of others; unseen, unknown and deliberately kept from our knowledge.
Who owns NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, Sci-Fi, Bravo, History, A&E, and many of the other channels we watch? Think General Electric Corporation, for one. Yes, the company that builds much of the nation’s national defense equipment. Why should they be able to control so much of what we see and hear? Television is a one way medium. It talks and ‘shows’ us and not the other way around, whatsoever. Mitt Romney was running at one time for the presidency of the United States. His principal company, Bain Capital, owned Clear Channel, which controls more than fifty percent of all radio broadcasts in this country. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck come to public note and then prominence courtesy of Mitt Romney. But the broadcast industry, sticking together like a single bunch of wandering lemmings, informs no one about such a salient fact, or others like it.
Why should this be? How can we have any objectivity at all presented to us? We cannot. We will not. Most all of humanity is being given a reason to believe, and it’s marginally, here and there, beginning to fail due to the simple fact that we cannot adjust our input systems fast enough to defend against this wholesale assault against truth. Something too new, too overwhelming, and too graphically ‘real’ happened because of a technology none of us could predict. Consequently, a very few humans are positioning themselves to be the only determiners of all of humanity’s success and none of its failure. To that regular ‘chore’ list mentioned earlier in this article’s chore list there’s been an addition, something never to be discussed and never appearing in front of anyone on any of these corporate owned delivery systems. We have been given the chore of genuflection.
We are presented something, such as the Kennedy assassination situation, and we are basically fed facts about it that lead us to a conclusion arrived at by others, well beforehand. We are given a reason to believe, and we do so, in genuflection to the unseen powers who gave those ‘facts’ to us and with a significant depth of belief because we have no other avenues to receive anything else.
“Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried, still I look to find a reason to believe.” Another great line from that Rod Stewart song.
Our singular hope is breaking free to at least know anything in truth at all must be based upon a rigorous search among alternate communications systems, such as this Internet creation that’s so very new, our own travels, limited as they may be, and our observations taken from those around us who study, travel, and seek out similar truths after having figured out the mass deception humanity has come to accept as reality.
In order to survive all of humanity some minority must first recognize, then understand, and finally take action in building a solid belief system based upon real verified facts instead of accepting the portrayal of life being delivered to us by this morass of mass media.
