The easiest way to control a population of people is to control the way in which they perceive reality. The powerful know this fact and have been using it as a dominant tool against the people for generations. This is why unfathomable amounts of money have been funneled into controlling the MSM, Hollywood, social media platforms and other influential mediums of sharing information. The perceived reality that we view and hear on our screens every minute of every day is nowhere near the reality that we know in our hearts and minds to be true. The powerful rely on that manufactured feeling of disconnection and insecurity to continue to divide and disillusion us.
The further we stray from the reality in which our shared humanity and experiences exist, the closer we move towards a prison cell, where all forms of our freedom disappear. There is no coming back once we’ve fully accepted that the powerful can dictate what is real and what isn’t. It is imperative that we hold tight to reality in a world that is increasingly full of lies and manipulations.
Why is it that someone we’re told is a “leader” and who holds influence and power, can get in front of a camera and tell us that words no longer hold the same meaning as they once did? Why can they tell us that something isn’t happening when we know it is because we’re experiencing it ourselves? How can they get away with continuously pushing lies onto the public and passing them as truths? Why do we allow strangers on a screen to disrespect and disillusion us?
As humans, we are conditioned to trust what we are told by those in positions of power and influence. It’s difficult for us to recognize that we’re being manipulated when it’s the people we’re taught to trust doing the manipulating. If an everyday person tried to lie to our face, we wouldn’t hesitate to call them out on it. But when a stranger who holds political and financial power over us gets on TV and tells us that we’re not in a recession, even though we are barely able to put food on the table, we accept it as reality.
When a “leader” acts strange or even under the influence of drugs, we are less apt to question why this might be. We tend to make up excuses or reasons to explain away the odd behaviors we are constantly shown by the people we are supposed to trust with our well-being. Whenever a child senses instability from their caretaker, they will do whatever they can to relate to that person. It is natural for us to try and understand the people who are supposed to care for us. It’s because of this innate response that we as humans are oftentimes abused by the people who should be protecting us. The same goes for our government and the powerful people we are told have our best interests at heart. They abuse us, we accept it, and both parties pretend it’s not happening.
With more screens, comes more access to our minds. We are often unable to get away from the constant stream of lies and manipulations. When we hear them over and over again, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate them from the truth. We begin to question ourselves and the things we once knew to be undeniably true. We fear speaking out against these lies because we see others so readily believing them. We start to think that we are alone and if we’re alone, then we must be wrong.
All of these feelings manifest within us because we’re made to feel them. We are susceptible to more lies and more manipulations when we think we’re alone and incapable of deciphering where the truth lies. This is why it’s more important than ever that we speak out and reach out to others around us. There is far more of us than them and they can’t alter a reality that we stand firmly together in. They can’t manipulate a reality that we collectively agree upon. They can’t tell us that the sky isn’t blue when we all look up together and show that it is.
It’s up to us to use logic, rationale and proof to combat the narratives that dominate our world. We need to be able to rely on one another to ensure that we don’t feel isolated or ostracized. We must support free speech and the right to question what we’re told by those who claim to know better than us. We need to stop allowing ourselves to be abused and used. We need to trust ourselves and one another to see through all the lies, before it’s too late. Once reality is fully claimed by the powerful, there is no coming back.

The powerful feelings experienced when we get to interact with people in our community after having been virtually isolated for a couple of years. We had a great conversation with a couple of neighbors yesterday. Nice gentle folks, one a city engineer that grew up with our sons. The other his father, the Vietnam vet. We don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but the core of what we talked about was that we need to be talking to each other.
