It's easy when you have the entire mainstream media machine backing you. They have a good time calling people who seek the truth horrible names like whack jobs, nutters, teabaggers, nut cases, conspiracy theorists, etc, etc. That's a two-prong attack. First, it deters people from wanting to be labeled, therefore they stick to their naivety and believe what is fed to them. And second, it enforces the narrative that is being forced down everyone's throat...thus making it "true" to the masses. Give me 100% support of the mainstream media and I can get the world to believe anything I want. Control the media, control the people.
Money and fear are the great equalizers. Pay them to keep their mouths shut and if they don't, scare them into submission. If you were part of some huge ruse the government just performed to fool the American people, would you be a whistle-blower? If they paid you $1M a year for the rest of your life to keep your mouth shut, with the alternative being you, and your family wiped out of existence...I think you'd lean towards the money and happy home life. It reminds me of the scene from The Matrix when Cipher is eating a steak with the agents, and he says that he knows none of this is real, but ignorance is bliss. Just do a quick search to see how much money has been given to Newtown and the people in Newtown since the Sandy Hook shooting. You'd think they got hit by a Cat5 hurricane, a F5 tornado, and a 9.0 earthquake with the "relief money" they've received. Or is it hush money?
There is no risk. They'll simply discredit anyone that attempts to come forward.
If you don't think our government is crooked, then you have your head buried so deep in the sand it's ridiculous. Be a critical thinker and look at the facts. If they don't add up, then something is not right. I'd like to think most of us here are quality business people, and if something was off with our books, we'd investigate. We wouldn't take the IRS's word for it that we owed more than we actually paid. We would audit our books, and research it until we found a reasonable solution. But a lot of you aren't willing to do that with our own country?
