If you have tried to share the truth with someone and they not only didn’t seem fazed by the facts but actually planted both feet and refused to hear anything more or didn’t get the same message from the facts that you did—this could be why.
I have first hand experience with this and it’s infuriating!!! I want to scream, “How can you be so stupid? So blind? So pig-headed? I thought you were a very intelligent person but now…? Not so much.”
This tendency is in part how the Illuminati has gotten way with what they have for so long. They know that many will simply not believe the facts when they’re right in front of their eyes.
How can anyone insist they are right we we are wrong when they know almost nothing about it and haven’t done the research we have? Just natural instinct. No one wants to be wrong. And this is why a large portion of the 99 per cent will not wake up until The Announcements let ‘em have it right between the eyes.
How Facts Backfire
It’s one of the great assumptions underlying modern democracy that an informed citizenry is preferable to an uninformed one. “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1789. This notion, carried down through the years, underlies everything from humble political pamphlets to presidential debates to the very notion of a free press. Mankind may be crooked timber, as Kant put it, uniquely susceptible to ignorance and misinformation, but it’s an article of faith that knowledge is the best remedy. If people are furnished with the facts, they will be clearer thinkers and better citizens. If they are ignorant, facts will enlighten them. If they are mistaken, facts will set them straight.
In the end, truth will out. Won’t it?
Maybe not. Recently, a few political scientists have begun to discover a human tendency deeply discouraging to anyone with faith in the power of information. It’s this: Facts don’t necessarily have the power to change our minds. In fact, quite the opposite. In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.
This bodes ill for a democracy, because most voters — the people making decisions about how the country runs — aren’t blank slates. They already have beliefs, and a set of facts lodged in their minds. The problem is that sometimes the things they think they know are objectively, provably false. And in the presence of the correct information, such people react very, very differently than the merely uninformed. Instead of changing their minds to reflect the correct information, they can entrench themselves even deeper.
“The general idea is that it’s absolutely threatening to admit you’re wrong,” says political scientist Brendan Nyhan, the lead researcher on the Michigan study. The phenomenon — known as “backfire” — is “a natural defense mechanism to avoid that cognitive dissonance.”
These findings open a long-running argument about the political ignorance of American citizens to broader questions about the interplay between the nature of human intelligence and our democratic ideals. Most of us like to believe that our opinions have been formed over time by careful, rational consideration of facts and ideas, and that the decisions based on those opinions, therefore, have the ring of soundness and intelligence. In reality, we often base our opinions on our beliefs, which can have an uneasy relationship with facts. And rather than facts driving beliefs, our beliefs can dictate the facts we chose to accept. They can cause us to twist facts so they fit better with our preconceived notions. Worst of all, they can lead us to uncritically accept bad information just because it reinforces our beliefs. This reinforcement makes us more confident we’re right, and even less likely to listen to any new information. And then we vote.
This effect is only heightened by the information glut, which offers — alongside an unprecedented amount of good information — endless rumors, misinformation, and questionable variations on the truth. In other words, it’s never been easier for people to be wrong, and at the same time feel more certain that they’re right.
“Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be,” read a recent Onion headline. Like the best satire, this nasty little gem elicits a laugh, which is then promptly muffled by the queasy feeling of recognition. The last five decades of political science have definitively established that most modern-day Americans lack even a basic understanding of how their country works. In 1996, Princeton University’s Larry M. Bartels argued, “the political ignorance of the American voter is one of the best documented data in political science.”
On its own, this might not be a problem: People ignorant of the facts could simply choose not to vote. But instead, it appears that misinformed people often have some of the strongest political opinions. A striking recent example was a study done in the year 2000, led by James Kuklinski of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He led an influential experiment in which more than 1,000 Illinois residents were asked questions about welfare — the percentage of the federal budget spent on welfare, the number of people enrolled in the program, the percentage of enrollees who are black, and the average payout. More than half indicated that they were confident that their answers were correct — but in fact only 3 percent of the people got more than half of the questions right. Perhaps more disturbingly, the ones who were the most confident they were right were by and large the ones who knew the least about the topic. (Most of these participants expressed views that suggested a strong antiwelfare bias.)
Studies by other researchers have observed similar phenomena when addressing education, health care reform, immigration, affirmative action, gun control, and other issues that tend to attract strong partisan opinion. Kuklinski calls this sort of response the “I know I’m right” syndrome, and considers it a “potentially formidable problem” in a democratic system. “It implies not only that most people will resist correcting their factual beliefs,” he wrote, “but also that the very people who most need to correct them will be least likely to do so.”
What’s going on? How can we have things so wrong, and be so sure that we’re right? Part of the answer lies in the way our brains are wired. Generally, people tend to seek consistency. There is a substantial body of psychological research showing that people tend to interpret information with an eye toward reinforcing their preexisting views. If we believe something about the world, we are more likely to passively accept as truth any information that confirms our beliefs, and actively dismiss information that doesn’t. This is known as “motivated reasoning.” Whether or not the consistent information is accurate, we might accept it as fact, as confirmation of our beliefs. This makes us more confident in said beliefs, and even less likely to entertain facts that contradict them.
New research, published in the journal Political Behavior last month, suggests that once those facts — or “facts” — are internalized, they are very difficult to budge. In 2005, amid the strident calls for better media fact-checking in the wake of the Iraq war, Michigan’s Nyhan and a colleague devised an experiment in which participants were given mock news stories, each of which contained a provably false, though nonetheless widespread, claim made by a political figure: that there were WMDs [weapons of mass destruction] found in Iraq (there weren’t), that the Bush tax cuts increased government revenues (revenues actually fell), and that the Bush administration imposed a total ban on stem cell research (only certain federal funding was restricted). Nyhan inserted a clear, direct correction after each piece of misinformation, and then measured the study participants to see if the correction took.
For the most part, it didn’t. The participants who self-identified as conservative believed the misinformation on WMD and taxes even more strongly after being given the correction. With those two issues, the more strongly the participant cared about the topic — a factor known as salience — the stronger the backfire. The effect was slightly different on self-identified liberals: When they read corrected stories about stem cells, the corrections didn’t backfire, but the readers did still ignore the inconvenient fact that the Bush administration’s restrictions weren’t total.
It’s unclear what is driving the behavior — it could range from simple defensiveness, to people working harder to defend their initial beliefs — but as Nyhan dryly put it, “It’s hard to be optimistic about the effectiveness of fact-checking.”
It would be reassuring to think that political scientists and psychologists have come up with a way to counter this problem, but that would be getting ahead of ourselves. The persistence of political misperceptions remains a young field of inquiry. “It’s very much up in the air,” says Nyhan.
But researchers are working on it. One avenue may involve self-esteem. Nyhan worked on one study in which he showed that people who were given a self-affirmation exercise were more likely to consider new information than people who had not. In other words, if you feel good about yourself, you’ll listen — and if you feel insecure or threatened, you won’t. This would also explain why demagogues benefit from keeping people agitated. The more threatened people feel, the less likely they are to listen to dissenting opinions, and the more easily controlled they are.
There are also some cases where directness works. Kuklinski’s welfare study suggested that people will actually update their beliefs if you hit them “between the eyes” with bluntly presented, objective facts that contradict their preconceived ideas. He asked one group of participants what percentage of its budget they believed the federal government spent on welfare, and what percentage they believed the government should spend. Another group was given the same questions, but the second group was immediately told the correct percentage the government spends on welfare (1 percent). They were then asked, with that in mind, what the government should spend. Regardless of how wrong they had been before receiving the information, the second group indeed adjusted their answer to reflect the correct fact.
Kuklinski’s study, however, involved people getting information directly from researchers in a highly interactive way. When Nyhan attempted to deliver the correction in a more real-world fashion, via a news article, it backfired. Even if people do accept the new information, it might not stick over the long term, or it may just have no effect on their opinions. In 2007 John Sides of George Washington University and Jack Citrin of the University of California at Berkeley studied whether providing misled people with correct information about the proportion of immigrants in the US population would affect their views on immigration. It did not.
And if you harbor the notion — popular on both sides of the aisle — that the solution is more education and a higher level of political sophistication in voters overall, well, that’s a start, but not the solution. A 2006 study by Charles Taber and Milton Lodge at Stony Brook University showed that politically sophisticated thinkers were even less open to new information than less sophisticated types. These people may be factually right about 90 percent of things, but their confidence makes it nearly impossible to correct the 10 percent on which they’re totally wrong. Taber and Lodge found this alarming, because engaged, sophisticated thinkers are “the very folks on whom democratic theory relies most heavily.”
In an ideal world, citizens would be able to maintain constant vigilance, monitoring both the information they receive and the way their brains are processing it. But keeping atop the news takes time and effort. And relentless self-questioning, as centuries of philosophers have shown, can be exhausting. Our brains are designed to create cognitive shortcuts — inference, intuition, and so forth — to avoid precisely that sort of discomfort while coping with the rush of information we receive on a daily basis. Without those shortcuts, few things would ever get done. Unfortunately, with them, we’re easily suckered by political falsehoods.
Nyhan ultimately recommends a supply-side approach. Instead of focusing on citizens and consumers of misinformation, he suggests looking at the sources. If you increase the “reputational costs” of peddling bad info, he suggests, you might discourage people from doing it so often. “So if you go on ‘Meet the Press’ and you get hammered for saying something misleading,” he says, “you’d think twice before you go and do it again.”
Unfortunately, this shame-based solution may be as implausible as it is sensible. Fast-talking political pundits have ascended to the realm of highly lucrative popular entertainment, while professional fact-checking operations languish in the dungeons of wonkery. Getting a politician or pundit to argue straight-faced that George W. Bush ordered 9/11, or that Barack Obama is the culmination of a five-decade plot by the government of Kenya to destroy the United States — that’s easy. Getting him to register shame? That isn’t.

Kerry reminds us that the purpose of this hearing is NOT to reveal all the secrets the Government has been hiding; the focus is narrow. You may listen to Stephen Basset’s clarification of this via the link in Kerry’s update to the Project Camelot interview, below.
Unfortunately, I am unable to take in the live stream of the hearing on my iPad (WiFi) or my PC (DSL). It’s just not working. Others are having no problem whatsoever and are enjoying it very much.
Thanks for the commentary, Kerry.
I just arrived last night in Washington DC. I am here to attend the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure.
Go here for more details on this: http://www.citizenhearing.org/
This hearing will be BROADCAST LIVE…
Note: the full Citizens’ Hearing will be Webcast live on the Internet. Subscribe here.
It is very early morning here on Monday… Last night we had a Meet and Greet dinner with the witnesses and former members of Congress. The witnesses are comprised of both ex-military and long time researchers who will be testifying for the next 4 days here in Washington, at the Washington DC Press Club . We are just a few short blocks from Congress and the White House.
This is my first time in Washington DC. It’s a very attractive city, stately and dramatic. The old bastion of Eastern wealth and establishment. Lots of brick and mortar. Rigid and unyielding. I wonder if the Halls of justice will be impacted at all by this historical hearing disclosing the fact that humans are not alone on this planet or in the Universes.. that we have never been alone and that this government, the secret side of it, had best acknowledge this reality to the people so that humanity can move into the next millennium with more conscious awareness about who we are and where we are going.
We the people, are aware of the presence of visitors, ETs, interdimensionals, etc as well as those beings who have possibly been here as long as we have and some, even longer. This Hearing is really about acknowledging the reality of the ET presence. Letting the government know that we know, that they know… And that we also know that they have dealing with and have agreements with these beings, that involve the future of Planet Earth and Humanity and that we should have a say in this.
Will the members of Congress be aware of this Hearing going on just down the street from where they conduct the business of state on a daily basis? Will any of them have any interest in sitting in to hear the testimony of these various distinguished witnesses? Are they en mass, (that is, Congress) largely unaware of the ET presence? Are they at all aware of the exo-political reality? That the government they think they work for is not really the government that is running things? That this playing field they are dealing in is far greater than the simply the circumference of this lovely globe we call Earth?
Certainly, there should be some regard given to the Former Members of Congress who have chosen to sit in on this hearing. That much should give them pause.
And what of the President? Surely he is very aware of the presence of the so-called visitors and knows very well that real power is well out of his hands in spite of the pomp and circumstance surrounding his office. He may regard this Hearing with some interest, if only, because the ramifications, should it seize the imagination or Zietgist of the people around the world, could well impact his own future.
Needless to say, this Hearing will be endeavoring to steer clear of the Secret Space Program, the Underground cities, the off-planet bases and the real implications of the “CRAFT”, (the UFOs) they will no doubt, make an excellent case for… Steven Bassett stated this quite clearly in my recent interview with him just prior to this week’s event. I encourage you to listen to what he had to say about the limitations and focus for the Hearing. Here is the archive of that conversation:
KERRY CASSIDY – PROJECT CAMELOT / WHISTLEBLOWER RADIO Whistleblower Radio
Episode: whistleblower_radio_007, 4/25/2013 12:00:00 AM
Summary: Stephen Bassett, Disclosure at the National Press Club
http://sceptreradio.com/projectcamelot.aspx
However, it is the implication of the reality of UFOs in our skies that is what really matters. And just how far you want to take that. Are they “ours” or are they “theirs” is the first question one might ask. And the answer to that question is what opens Pandora’s box. But open it must and in reality, it already has.
The only real question is how much longer the surface governments on Planet Earth, especially the U.S. surface government, will continue to pretend as though they are living in closed system that they control, which most of us, who are aware, know is a most ludicrous and insidious lie.
The Citizens Hearing on Disclosure is the first “hearing” to have been held here in Washington where the people take into their own hands, the right to disclose the truth about the ET presence. Where we go from here is up to all of us. No doubt the “visitors” will be listening.

Keeping it light… It’s time to implement ‘Operation Clean Sweep’.
I have come up with a plan to fast-track more mass arrests.
Rather than waiting until all the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted, and figuring out which members of government, banks, Big Ag, Big Pharma, Hollywood, Monsanto, etc. are part of the Illuminati and which aren’t—just arrest them all! We’ll put “guilty by association” on the warrants.
We’ll check them into the FEMA camps they had the incredible foresight to prepare in advance and sort the good guys from the bad guys later.
What’s the rush? I mean, look at them all! There’s plenty of room!
They can use the grave liners for bathing. Very generous soaking tubs—and because they’re black, the water might even warm up. Pretty nice perk, I’d say.
It’s such a shame if their brilliant plans to go to waste, don’t you think? They’re so well appointed and situated on beautiful, remote and peaceful tracts of land. Perfect for meditation.
We’re never too old to be “re-educated”, right? We’ll treat THEM a lot better than they planned to treat US. If they’re really good, we could give them free chips.
Welcome to Hotel FEMA. Enjoy your stay. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave—unless the 99 per cent say so.
April 24th Update: Well, the movie wasn’t available for long. I got part way through, my PC started a scan and the player crashed. I’m now getting an error message, “Video not found!” Too bad.
What a way to celebrate ET Week at The Big Picture!
On DiscloseTV you can watch the entire film, Sirius. It was funded by The People—a first—and we deserve to see it in its entirety, so toddle on over to this web site, cuddle up with a refreshment, and prepare to be amazed.
Prepare to learn who you really are, where you came from, why we see so many UFOs, and why no one ever told you who they are or why they’re here.
Prepare to learn even more things about your government that you probably didn’t want to know—but will set you free.
The movie player is below the ads displaying at the top of the page.
Thank you, Dr. Greer, Amardeep and everyone else who made ‘Disclosure by The People’ possible.
We’re making history as we step into our Golden Age, and life and Humanity will never be the same.
America, if it hasn’t sunk in yet, perhaps this video will help. We’ve already heard from Lt. Col. Roy Potter (ret), and now ex-Marine Adam Kokesh—both of whom are risking their lives to bring you this message; this WAKE UP call.
Are we flogging a dead horse here? You betcha! And we will continue to do so until the American people who are still asleep to the tyranny finally wake up and realize they have been played by their government. We’re going to shake you so hard you fall out of bed.
Here I am, a Canadian, only living in the USA for 8 years, and I’m telling Americans what’s going on in their own country. And how do I know? Because it’s OBVIOUS if you’re still breathing, unless you purposely turn the other way and refuse to see it. Most of America is in denial.
And it’s not only the United States of America that is involved—oh no. It’s global. Canada has similar problems, so does Britain, Australia, Holland, Switzerland, Iceland—everywhere—just not to this degree. YOUR problem is gigantic.
The world is watching to see what you’re going to do, America, because it affects everyone on the planet. The United States of America is the last battle to be won or lost—for the world, really.
Which is it going to be? It’s up to YOU. Turn off the TV and get on the Internet and find out what’s really going on. There are countless web sites and blogs run by patriots who care and are doing what they can to share the unfortunate truth with the world because the mainstream media is controlled by your rogue government.
As a result, there are thousands of people worldwide who know what’s going on in America while the citizens of the USA don’t even see it. Please… wake up. We need you. Your country needs you—now more than ever.
Warning: Language Alert
Update: April 21st: After watching the feature-length video about the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, “A Noble Lie”, it sounds like the bomb there did NOT contain ammonia (fertilizer). The fumes would have been unmistakable. I don’t believe the Boston bombs contained ammonia, either, but Monsanto was linked to the West, TX fertilizer plant so there’s no question in my mind it was a planned attack on that facility.
I’m listening to the Intellihub Unbound Radio program on Boston/Texas.
http://unboundradio.com/schedule/
Down the Rabbit Hole we go!
What I just learned is… the material used in the Oklahoma City bombs was… fertilizer. And what was used in the Boston pressure-cooker bombs?
We haven’t heard yet, but since the fertilizer plant in West, Texas was “blown up” by “something other-worldly”, what do you suppose the chances are that the Boston bombs contained fertilizer?????
Last summer in Colorado there were some pretty interesting fires, fireballs, etc. so the cabal could eliminate any evidence of their part in specific treasonous acts that was in the homes of the cabal members who lived there. They’re up to their old tricks. None of it’s really new. They’re just following their blueprint.
Oh, this is getting really interesting and we’ve only just begun. They say at 10:00 pm EDT tonight they’ll be going “Down the Rabbit Hole” where they’ll be discussing all the similarities between the Oklahoma City bombing and the Boston bombing. Pretty good radio.
Well, it seems their story has been blown out of the water because We, The People were watching, and we can do the math.
This just may be the final nail in the cabal’s coffin.
Unlike Oaklahoma City the FBI cannot confiscate all of the surveillance, cell phone, and thousands of cameras that were at the finish line of Boston Marathon. 4Chan posted dozens of photos showing Navy Seal or Private Security personnel carrying the same black back packs which are the same style backpacks showed in FBI photos. It’s becoming crystal clear. Get these articles and this video out to everyone you know.
Navy SEALs Spotted at Boston Marathon Wearing Suspicious Backpacks?
Have you ever noticed that whenever the government or the mainstream media wants to demonize a particular point of view they call it a “conspiracy theory”? The unspoken message is that normal people such as us should never dare to question the official propaganda being put out by “official sources”.
But what if those “official sources” are wrong? What if those “official sources” have a specific agenda that they are trying to promote? Has it become a crime to ask questions? Has it become a crime to think for ourselves?
The other day, Public Policy Polling did an opinion poll about “conspiracy theories”. Just by reading the questions they asked, it is obvious that the goal was to make those that believe in those theories to look foolish. When they released the results of the poll, they stated that some of the “conspiracy theories” could only be found in “the darker corners of the internet” – as if there was something unsavory or evil about them.
But is it really “crazy” to believe that sometimes bad people do bad things? A conspiracy is just “a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful”. So do conspiracies ever happen? Of course they happen. They have happened for as long as humanity has existed. But in this day and age, we are just supposed to assume that all of our politicians and all of the big corporations that dominate our society are just sweet and wonderful and would never want to do us any harm whatsoever.
Let’s take a look at some of the results of the Public Policy Polling survey about conspiracy theories. Excerpts from the results are in bold, and my comments follow thereafter…
“37% of voters believe global warming is a hoax, 51% do not. Republicans say global warming is a hoax by a 58-25 margin, Democrats disagree 11-77, and Independents are more split at 41-51. 61% of Romney voters believe global warming is a hoax”
The planet has been warming up and cooling down for thousands of years, and most “climate change” can be directly attributed to the gigantic ball of fire that our planet is revolving around. Even if “greenhouse gases” did play a significant role in “climate change”, the truth is that carbon emissions make up less than 5 percent of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and human activity accounts for less than 5 percent of all carbon emissions. So to suggest that “global warming” could ever be significantly influenced by reducing carbon emissions is absolutely laughable.
“6% of voters believe Osama bin Laden is still alive”
They rapidly dumped his “dead body” into the ocean and the American public has still never seen any of the pictures that supposedly show that Osama bin Laden is dead. Are we just supposed to trust our politicians when they tell us that the U.S. military killed him? After all, our politicians lie for a living. Plus, the truth is that there is a tremendous amount of evidence that bin Laden died many years before the now famous Seal team raid on a compound in Pakistan.
“28% of voters believe secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government, or New World Order. A plurality of Romney voters (38%) believe in the New World Order compared to 35% who don’t”
Whether you want to call them “the New World Order” or “the Illuminati” or “the global elite”, the truth is that nobody should be able to deny that there are ultra-wealthy individuals that are seeking to dominate the planet. If you doubt this, please see the following article: “Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings“.
“20% of voters believe there is a link between childhood vaccines and autism, 51% do not”
At one time I didn’t believe that there was a link either. But then I started looking into the evidence for myself. Why do they make us feel like criminals for asking questions about this? Is it because it threatens billions of dollars in pharmaceutical company profits? I put a lot of what I learned on this issue into this article: “Vaccines And Autism: The Secret That You Are Not Supposed To Know“.
“9% of voters think the government adds fluoride to our water supply for sinister reasons (not just dental health)”
Whatever the intention, the truth is that there is a tremendous amount of evidence that drinking fluoride is very harmful to humans. A number of studies have shown that it actually causes brain damage, and it has been shown to accelerate the growth of cancer. A blog post by Mary Bloomer summarized some of the other reasons why we should avoid Fluoride…
“51% of voters say a larger conspiracy was at work in the JFK assassination, just 25% say Oswald acted alone”
Does anyone actually still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone? Even though a majority of the American people now believe that there was a larger conspiracy at work in that assassination, the government and the media are still sticking to their story.
“5% believe exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons”
Do you see how they worded that question? The exhaust trails that normal aircraft leave behind are called “contrails“, and they usually disappear within moments. “Chemtrails” are something else entirely. Once they are sprayed in the air, they can often remain up there for hours. But apparently we aren’t supposed to notice the huge white lines that crisscross the sky right above our heads. The only real debate about chemtrails should be about what their purpose is. Are they being used for weather modification projects or is something more sinister happening?
“15% of voters think the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry ‘invent’ new diseases to make money”
The pharmaceutical industry may not be inventing diseases just to make money, but they sure do love to invent new reasons to get people hooked on their legal drugs. The sad truth is that the American people are the most doped up people on the face of the planet. The following are some facts about pharmaceutical drugs from my recent article entitled “50 Signs That The U.S. Health Care System Is A Gigantic Money Making Scam“…
-During 2013, Americans will spend more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs.
-Prescription drugs cost about 50% more in the United States than they do in other countries.
-In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined.
-Nearly half of all Americans now use prescription drugs on a regular basis according to the CDC. Not only that, the CDC also says that approximately one-third of all Americans use two or more pharmaceutical drugs on a regular basis, and more than ten percent of all Americans use five or more pharmaceutical drugs on a regular basis.
-The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.
-In 2010, the average teen in the U.S. was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs. Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression.
-Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are.
-There were more than two dozen pharmaceutical companies that made over a billion dollars in profits during 2008.
-According to the CDC, approximately three quarters of a million people a year are rushed to emergency rooms in the United States because of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs.
As you can see, there are usually at least two sides to every story.
So the next time someone tries to dismiss a particular viewpoint by dismissing it as a “conspiracy theory” just because it does not conform to the official propaganda being put out by the U.S. government and the mainstream media, perhaps you should say something.
We are living at a time when it is more important than ever to think for ourselves. Our world is becoming increasingly unstable, and there are lots of people out there that want to tell us what we should believe.
Do not allow the government and the media to do your thinking for you. That is the lazy way out, and it will only end in a whole lot of pain.
Question everything.
Do your own research and come to your own conclusions.
The truth is out there, but you are going to have to unplug from “the matrix” in order to find it.
