Re: How would they know?

Howdy, Pete 2,

The following old adages explain to you the current role of mainstreaming media and clearly enough identifies the arrogant and vulnerable masters which ignorance serves .........

“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” … So said Winston Churchill, the grandmaster of fake news.

"The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." - George Orwell.

“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.” …. Maximilien Robespierre

“Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavours to live at the expense of everybody else.” …. Frédéric Bastiat in the mid-nineteenth century

In 1907, U.S. Congressman (and career prosecutor) Charles Lindbergh Sr. presented “The Bankers Manifesto of 1892” to the U.S. Congress. This grandiose declaration of the oligarchs of the 19 th century, antecedents of the Oligarch Trillionaires of today, is as prophetic as it is despicable.

In part, it reads:

“When through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders.”

Old facts which be present unspeakable and unspoken truths, Pete 2? I do believe they really are.
