Greetings good citizen, I focus my attention on the individual although as my readership increases it will have the same effect upon the masses. One of my 'standard themes' is raising awareness that you are being manipulated. By pointing out this obvious fact I am manipulating you too, but being aware that you're being manipulated does nothing to change the fact that its happening.
When you're aware it's happening, you have a choice whether or not to go along with the idea. It's when you are being discretely mislead that you face an increased difficulty in determining a proper course of action.
You are often manipulated via 'either/or' choices with the desired outcome being 'painted' as the better course of action.
'Better buy solar panels now BEFORE the 20% rate increase hits!' Whether or not you'll shave 20% off your electric bill remains an unknown since every installation is different.
Or more succinctly, Hillary has the votes so she's our nominee. It's going to be a woman eventually, why not her?
Oh let me count the ways! Trust me, the top ten reasons 'why not' have absolutely zero to do with her plumbing. The first and foremost reason is she's a 'New Democrat' (also known as a DINO) which is the same thing as saying she's a Republican.
Wall Street loves her, yet another reason I can't vote for her. Her husband single handedly dismantled the New Deal and crashed the global economy (again!) by repealing Glass-Stegall.
And your quibbling if you say that was her husband's doing; it has nothing to do with her!
Did she divorce him? No so by extension she's cool with what he did.
And Wall Street really appreciates a 'team player'.
But this is my attempt to 'manipulate' you! If you plan on voting for HIllary there probably isn't much I can say that will change your mind. Bernie says he's pressing on and I'm behind him 100% [mostly because the One Percent has promised us 'never again' and Bernie would be just the guy to make them eat those words!]
He may not succeed at returning the marginal tax rate back up to 90% but I'd bet we'd see 50 again! [And when billionaires can't pay themselves the money , guess who gets it? Yup, they invest in loyalty!
And everybody 'wins'.
So what are the chances Wall Street's Darling is going to pursue (never mind introduce) legislation aimed at closing the yawning wealth gap that is tearing our nation apart?
And that's not the only thing you're being 'duped' into believing, a lot of what's going on lies in what they DON'T tell you.
Just caught the latest Last Week Tonight [which by rights should be last weeks episode] so you might have seen this too. John Oliver established a collection agency and bought $ 15 million dollars worth of 'bad' medical debt for $60,000.
He (and I hope he did it right because you know the same crumbs who sold him the debt in the first place will probably walk back in and buy it up again for less than they sold it to LWT for.
Anyway, John's company 'forgave' this (basically uncollectable) debt, just to 'one-up' Oprah's famous publicity stunt of giving away half that amount...and she's a billionaire!
John was drawing your attention to the fact that the debt buying business is severely under-regulated and a lot of these 'debt buyers' use some pretty sleazy tatics to collect what they shouldn't have purchased in the first place.
Under a Simple Plan debt is illegal [under the human anti-exploitation law] and the act of creating a 'debtor' is an exile offense...so trying to collect an illegitimate debt is grounds for summary execution!
See, now I'm attempting to get you to see that things COULD BE different. My ideas might take some getting used to but once in place you'd quite quickly I might add, begin to wonder why anybody put up with the old way of screw you, pay me!
Trust me good citizen, the only reason you put up with this nonsense now is because the bought and paid for 'justice system' backs-up these kinds of unfair and unreasonable practices .
It's the LAW that allows your creditors to lock you up and deprive you of the ability to live.
AM I manipulating you when I point out that a lot of you AGREE with Me that the legal system is crooked beyond repair?
WHy do you let this go unquestioned?
The answer is in the title, good citizen...welcome to the herd where freedom of the press only guarantees those with the gold can 'legally' own the pubic square...so 'seldom is heard a discouraging word and only the paupers pay, often with their lives!
Is THAT 'manipulating?' I guess it is if you decide to do something about it somewhere down the line...
Which is to say not everybody who tries to manipulate you isn't looking out for your best interests in the process. If nobody says anything and you come up with these ideas on your own, you wonder if it isn't you that's, er, 'out of touch'.
Let me assure you, I'm not.
With that said I thank you once again for inviting me inside your head to [hopefully] freshen the air, even if only a tiny bit.
