Cognitive Dissonance's blog

Rarely if ever do we consider that we presently labor under our own woefully wrong flat world perspectives so deeply engrained within our present day mindset that we are completely and utterly blind to how wrong we might just be.

The official lie is most effective when we want to believe the lie more than we wish to know the truth.

When only a few dozen claim they understand how an economic system works we have crossed over from examining and describing a complex economic entity and into a religious cult based solely upon faith and belief.

One cannot see clearly while in the midst of the madness using only the cognitive tools and worldview assumptions supported and promoted by the madness.

I find it interesting that my daughter’s refund info suddenly showed up on the #1e439a; font-size: small;">‘Where’s My Refund?’ web site two days after the Treasury sold #1e439a; font-size: small;">$35 Billion of Two Year Treasury bonds.

If there comes a time when the best move forward is to sell most of our Gold and switch to another asset class, one more likely to survive the transition intact, will we be able to see this as obvious and a no brainer?

Do we really honest-to-God no-fingers-crossed cherry-on-top believe that the powers-that-be will simply allow us to mosey up to the cashiers cage and redeem or convert our Gold for whatever monetary unit reigns supreme or is created?

A source of great strength is that we see the world for what it is, but have also seen what it can be.

Our individual sovereignty can only be applied to free ourselves when it is released from within, not applied externally by the keepers of the false realty myth.

Because we are rarely able to break our broken connections, our Self, our culture and our nation are littered with dysfunctional nonworking relationships that destroy so much more than they should or could, but for our own deliberate inattention.

The seductive embrace of our collective insanity promises us all a softer easier way, an alternative path where we are told we can have our cake and eat it too. This is a bald faced lie, even if the machine consistently produces more cake as if by magic.

Either we dismiss them from our mind with an open and honest heart or we will be owned by them lock, stock and barrel.

What exactly do we have left after several decades of frenzied spending and mindless consumption? I’ll tell you what we have left. We have our rituals and dogma, and soon enough not much more.

First read this humorus lesson on TEOTWAWKI preparation. Then turn on The Weather Channel and watch Hurricane Irene Rototill the East Coast for a primer of what’s to come.

Alas, this is just what the powers-that-be want. Not zonked out so much that you can’t work, but zonked out just enough that you really don’t (want to) care.
