The Dangers of A"Reality TV" President:
We
are hearing a lot about #fakenews these days but the problem isn't fake
news...the problem is #fakereality. Everything we are told is designed to
distract us from the institutionalized fleecing of the masses. Scandal
+ media = controlling, confusing and hijacking public discourse.
It's
always been this way...but now we are witnessing an era of "propaganda on
crack". We have a "reality tv" president and he knows how to
create scandal and get ratings. We
are fooled daily into political civil war between two opposing parties to hide
and provide cover for all the great crimes behind the ill-gained fortunes of
corrupt men (to paraphrase Balzac).
If
we continue to fall for these 50 year strategies and short-term distractions
devised by geo-political and financial planners we are no better than frogs
sitting in pots who don't feel the rising temperature until they're already
cooked.
This
article by world-renowned economist, Michael Hudson, lends some much needed
clarity.
