The way the world works is just a big con, really.

We are in a form of a matrix. Some know this, some don't care, some probably don't know.

Do you think they are not allowed to tell the truth in schools?

I remember a teacher friend quitting based on what they were and were not allowed to say.

It's a long video, but especially for those of my Dads age, it is a jaw-dropping eye opener which can fill you with disgust.

Money and power are at the heart of it, as usual. Nothing has changed. Any decent 'global recession' video will show that.

No wonder America and those like her are often so hated.

Ah, you still think there's a system? There ain't. No-one knows what they're doing, they just do what they can to get along. Some do pretty well out of it, but no-one's out to get you. They don't know or care about you.

It's an interesting watch, covering a great deal of this type of thing..


https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/25/usa....

"The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power"

And, of course, much worse..

History is written by the victors. And if you think the truth is taught or wanted by most, well...

The utter crap all on record, shown to be true, but rarely revealed, you mean?

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to dig, I am simply saying you never get told about the real world and you have to go and find out if you are curious.

My Dad also rolled his eyes over a dinner conversation about such things and ended up purchasing a few books on the strength of it. To say he was amazed is an understatement.

You should have seen his face when many of the non-publicised facts about Chruchill cropped up, for example hehe

Luckily they do not teach this nonsense in schools.

The endless paranoia that infests the internet and the ability of any amateur to assemble images and cast doubt on virtually anything has led to an information-filled but judgement-deprived populace, the result of which is to elect people like Donald Trump to great power. There are people who see conspiracies everywhere, sinister organizations , (Illuminati anyone ?),people building survival bunkers and so on. Are there undercover actions?.sure- I have little doubt that the Russians were directly hacking the US political parties and influencing the election results for example.'

Will the endless "theorists" of 9/11 and JFK stop any time soon?..no. Look at one of the great forgeries :, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a provable forgery that drove antisemitic hatred for decades and was a tenet of the Nazi attitudes to the Jews. It had all the hallmarks of secret evil organizations and people bought it hook, line and sinker. Too bad it was a complete fabrication.

It is easy to sound expert with careful editing of video. This sort of stuff is just puerile.

Would the world be better or worse if it were do you think?

I look back and think about all those drip-fed "Be proud of our troops" type speeches, when they were often only out there being blown to pieces due to rich people wanting to get richer.

Perhaps they realise we would have no army if we knew all the facts at an early age.

Because it's predominantly nonsense.

None of which really applies to this video, sorry.

...written by a crackpot who apparently used to be a teacher, so perhaps for a fleeting moment it was taught it schools.

Is the Guardian article shown above nonsense? I know the answer, but why do you think it is?

Why is the research done by so many over extended periods of time belittled by people who, in many cases, have done no research of their own?

In fact, how about people list which bits they think are nonsense and I will attempt to provide facts. I may be wrong and will happily admit it if so.

That way, we can all be sure and avoid tin hat comments.

The answers on this thread show why the truth is often concealed. The closed minded will remain forever so and are happier for it. Are all conspiracy theories correct? Of course not. Is everything we are told the truth? You only have to look to the AGW scam and Religion before it for answers there.
