    Try Clif High -- know anybody more clever and deeper ?

    He suggests that adding all the evidence and connecting all of the dots shows that the force we have directing our planet is a virus 100%

    A space bug working in our Materium dimension to obtain total control .

    Of course put baldly and in isolation that can be easily written off as Freaky Woo .Except that in toto it is far more subtle , sophisticated and compelling than you might ever imagine .

    “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
    —Harry Truman

    If large numbers of people believe in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it. But if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them.”
    —George Orwell, author, c. 1945


    “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
    —Noam Chomsky, speaking in a BBC television interview with John Pilger on The Late Show (1992)


    “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
    —UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights

    James Madison


    “Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cry of grave national emergency.

    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

    - Ronald Reagan

    Both China and India are reverting to their own currencies in pursuing trade with Russia.
    The combined population total of these countries is 2.7 billion people.
    Do the US and its allies realize the long term strategic consequences of this?

    @revelarts

    This one goes way way back, but the same idea. Videos galore of this one too but I think best in text.


    The Monkey Ladder

    A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage, and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.

    After a certain amount of this, each time a monkey would to start up the ladder, the others would pull it down and beat it up; this too went on for a while, but eventually no monkey would dare try climbing the ladder, no matter how great the temptation.

    The scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys. The first thing this new monkey did, of course, was start to climb the ladder. Immediately, the others pulled him down and beat him up.

    After several beatings, the new monkey learned never to go up the ladder, even though there was no evident reason not to, aside from the beatings.

    The second monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was changed and the same was repeated. The fourth monkey was changed, resulting in the same, before the fifth was finally replaced as well.

    What was left was a group of five monkeys that — without ever having received a cold shower — continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.

    If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they beat up on all those who attempted to climb the ladder, their most likely answer would be “I don’t know. It’s just how things are done around here.”
    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
