Trust

 Greetings good citizen, no matter who you are or what ideology you subscribe to your continued survival relies on trust. If you can't trust yourself (to make rational decisions based on facts) how can you trust someone else to make those choices for you? 

Sounds dumb that anyone would admit to being that 'weak-willed/minded but many of you form your beliefs based on the rants of some shill paid to say what they themselves don't believe. They are reading a script.

Sounds sinister when you strip away the pretense but back to your inoperative Bull Shit meter, the one you don't trust because the nitwit on the radio sure sounds like HE believes it. [And it's almost always a he, only recently have females been recruited to provide 'depth' to their self-serving arguments.]

Who would do such a thing? 

The swindlers that rely on your not connecting the dots.

Naturally, they don't refer to themselves as criminals, they are life's 'winners' and if it takes a degree of deception to keep their swindle from being scrutinized there is plenty of pie ($) to share with the cooperative

The 'Rabbit Hole' is deep because they have been building on top of lie number one for a long time. Here's the rub; the lie all of this is based on is right under your nose and never far from your thoughts yet you don't see it for the fraud that it is.

Worse, because you have been trained to believe it doesn't even occur to you to question the greatest lie there is. Some of you [and only some, that's how deeply you rely on trust] have 'questioned' this substance and the multiple contradictions it presents daily but you keep your suspicions to yourself because this whole shit-show is glued together by 'go along to get along.'

That phrase was coined to protect the lie.

Why does nobody expose the lie? Because without trust society cannot exist.

I would say even the densest of you know which lie I'm talking about but no, that is not the case. A significant portion of the human population has discarded the ability to think for itself because they can't reconcile the lie or what life would be like if it were exposed.

What currently passes for 'civilization' would collapse if the truth were, um, 'recognized' which is why the simple-minded will refuse to believe the lie isn't true.

Not because the lie works but because their entire life is a lie.

Too many of you bet your daily survival on MONEY and MONEY is a LIE. It has no value nor does it have any meaning. 

The problem money solves is the one where (the illusion of) prosperity creates peace, a false peace but peace nonetheless

There are better answers than money but the fraudsters (desperately) adhere to the devil they worked so hard to promote. They (foolishly) tied their personal success to the success of the money fraud.

Where does this leave YOU, oh hapless one?

It leaves you sinking in a quagmire of lies. Worse since every lie needs a dozen more to prop it up your mind is so overwhelmed it shuts down and rationality is rendered moot, irrelevant.

Worse, since critical thinking skills are something you are born with most of you are scratching your head if you've read this far, dumb is a terrible thing. [Remember dumb is the belief in things that aren't true...and if you are forced to trust dumb people you're kind of skunked, aren't you?]

If you don't know what to make of the puzzle the fraud you're living presents and the people around you can't figure it out either well, who do you trust?

That would be the liars paid by the fraudsters, wouldn't it?

The lies are unraveling before you fearful eyes and the nitwit in chief can't put the genie back in the bottle. Will the fraudsters pull the plug and let civilization collapse in the chaos of contradictions they have woven?

The trouble with the 'crazy train' is you CAN'T get off.

Either you stop it or it crashes and burns (taking the dupes/stooges with it.)

Where do you begin? Starts with the lie and accepting the truth. One thing hasn't changed, job one is SURVIVAL and we all live better cooperating and sharing what there is [it would be much better if it were shared EQUITABLY but one trainwreck at a time, eh?]

You can only TRUST those who admit the fraud, that all money is 'funny'. [The concept is useful but misapplied!]

That's square one. If you can't admit we only have one planet that we all must share please move to the front of the train/as close as you can to the point of impact.

If you're not part of the solution it makes you part of the problem.

For those slow on the uptake, you might notice that the truth is closely interwoven with trust and who is worthy of such a gift.

If you trust fraudsters you will squander your future making them comfortable.

I will once again sign off with the declaration that I don't pen these missives for the dumb.

Thank you for letting me inside your head,
