These are strange times indeed.
Are we really seeing what is in front of us?
Are things as bad as they appear?
Is the negative dominating the positive?
Or are things exactly as they appear?
Look around you:
Abnormal social behavior.
Out of control abidance by the laws, expected human decency, personal manners and courtesies.
Increasing inability to decide what is real or fake.
News media presenting an invented, manipulated view of reality.
A financial system and stock markets performing against facts and figures that suggest otherwise.
Federal, state, local government corruption.
It's enough to wonder who is crazy, others or oneself.
Its hard to decipher the truth. Just remember the Smith Mundt Act was repealed by Obama in 2013 reallowing the use of government propaganda on the public. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC & even FOX are just arms of unconstitutional agencies like the CIA, FBI, NSA, ATF, ICE, etc., which are all controlled by large corporations like the big banks, the pharmaceutical industry & the military industrial complex via paid puppet career politicians. The USA, as well as, most of the world was taken over by Facism in 1913, when the Federal Reserve was established. A fed member named Prescott Bush even helped fund Hitler's rise to power. In 1933 the constitution was suspended. In 1971 the US went bankrupt & Nixon took us off the gold standard. The dollar has lost @ 85% of it value since 1971 & it now takes 2 heads of a househould to raise a family vs only 1 like before 1971. The stock market is skyrocketing & most are too dumb to realize that its the result of the hyperinflation of the money supply from the 2008 collapse. This is evident by the accelerating rise in food costs, real estate prices & insurance premiums. Imo, cryptocurrencies are the closest thing we have to a free market right now.
Damn tough to get used to the new reality and still forgive the past.
