You clued me into that Democracy Now thing too. I need to do a blog about piecing together truth from random pieces of 'perception'. I'm certain often times the lies are being fed to some of them (like Democracy Now) and there is a tendency to accept data from certain parties on faith, without thinking much about how THEY got their information. Especially if 'funding' is tied to those information 'sources'.
Lots of disinformation games too. So we have people who are 'swept up' in that combined with the intentional spreading of disinformation. People don't understand how it easy it is for them to seed data to different groups in a very targeted way. They've made divide & conquer very high-tech. If more people understood the underlying technology behind our "reality tunnels" (Internet Routing/Call Routing) they'd be really pissed off.
So I try to focus less on the people who are giving the information and more on what pieces of information seem most accurate in the mix. Because no one has 100% of the pieces or all of the truth, from what I can tell. We just have to live and learn. Make the best effort to bring 'objective truth' to the best of our ability and keep building on that.
It's a big network map. But I keep tracing back each 'node' and finding the 'eye' isn't that difficult to locate. It's just too complicated on the surface for most people to grasp. But even that surface level complication is a huge smoke screen. The eye of this storm is easier to locate than people realize. It's accepting that reality that's difficult because it forces one to question everything they've thought was true.
For example, the MSM would have you believe this whole surveillance mess is super complicated. It's not. I've demonstrated that. It's matter of accepting the data and sorting it out independently. No one will understand it until they research it themselves. This problem could be reversed in a very short span of time if the right people would remove some hinge pins. Luckily, these 'hinge pins' aren't going to put up a fight, violently. The people behind this are malicious and psychological in nature. But beyond that, they won't fight. They'd rather get the entire world into a fight while they sit back and continue doing what they are doing, unchecked.
I fairly certain I don't understand the breadth and depth of the signals manipulation in our reality tunnels, whether it be electronic, ideological, philosophical, chemical, or what have you. I do see the results. That two very similar people, under roughly the same conditions, can come to such wildly different conclusions, demonstrates that we have been led into perceptual ghettos. Most of the people do not have the awareness to recognize this, so, here we remain, mired in this torpor of psychological slavery.
Most aren't going to research anything themselves. I wonder what the popular conception of research actually is. I've, personally, been trying to come up with a way to profit from creating an incentive for engagement with knowledge by the public. I've, so far come up empty, except that I know that mammals like shiny, tasty, sexy things, not necessarily all at once or in that order. I think that the truth and freedom are shiny, tasty, and sexy, but I know That I'm an outlier in these respects.
What is the draw? What is the reward that keeps the listeners coming back to things like DemocracyNow! I can't say I ever really enjoyed listening. It's more like I knew there was something wrong, and it was good to hear the little truth they tell, even if heavily redacted. Their failures in accurately reporting global warming were what finally made me look at them, rather than look to them. I discovered Susan Lindauer later. 9/11 busted my faith in DN! wide open. At one point I heard Goodman duck the subject of Indira Singh on PTech and the 9/11 software. This is, to me, the most bald and bleeding abrasion, to do with 9/11 that I had seen up to that point, worse than WTC7. The first time I ran across Sibel Edmonds was on DN! She has since distinguished herself separate from them, to her credit.
There are also the inconsistencies in Noam Chomsky, as heavily supported by DN!
