Wonderful thought provoking post @mineisyours. I think many of us turn a blind eye because they don't want to believe that our country has and will continue to lie to us for its own selfish reasons. I agree there are too many inconsistencies with what happend. Supposedly we have the world's best technology and 'spy' network yet no one knew about this? Along with several other incidents that have happened since then.

I totally agree with there is so little we can do. Those in power have created false realities. As we are seeing now it's getting worse. We're encouraged to get out and vote, but for what? empty lies? And yes those that don't want to see or admit the truth will fight tooth and nail to prove their point rather than admit they're wrong or they have been lied to. The don't want feel or look the fool.
