Why Do We Ignore The Obvious?
Submitted by Zen Gardner via ZenGardner.com,
I have a hard time with people not being willing to recognize what’s obviously in front of their faces. It’s a voluntary mind game people play with themselves to justify whatever it is they think they want. This is massively exacerbated by an array of social engineering tactics, many of which are to create the very mind sets and desires people so adamantly defend.
But that’s no excuse for a lack of simple conscious recognition and frankly makes absolutely no sense.
We can’t blame these manipulators for everything. Ultimately we all have free choice. Plainly seeing what’s right in front of our noses, no matter how well sold or disguised, is our human responsibility. That people would relinquish this innate right and capability totally escapes me.
The Handwriting On the Wall
Actually, it’s much more obvious than even that. Pointless wars costing millions of innocent lives, poisoned food, air and water, demolished resources, manipulated economies run by elitist bankers who nonchalantly lend money with conditions for “interest”, corporate profiteering at any cost to humanity, a medical system built on sickness instead of health, media mindmush poisoning children and adults alike, draconian clampdowns for any reason, and on and on.
Why is this not obvious to people that something is seriously wrong, and clearly intended to be just the way it is? Do they really think it’s gonna iron itself out, especially with clearly psychopathic power mad corrupt maniacs in charge?
That’s what they’ll tell you. “Give it time, we’re just going through a hiccup. Everything works out…” yada yada. Why? Because that’s what they want to believe. And the constructed world system is waiting with open arms to reinforce that insanity. And “Heck, if millions of others feel the same as me I can’t possibly be wrong.”
Fear of Drawing Conclusions
That’s pretty much the bottom line. Acceptance for seeming security. However, if even one of these inroads of control vectors becomes clear to people then their whole world threatens to turn upside down. When two or more start appearing then the discomfort becomes quite intense, and that’s when the decision takes place. Either they keep pursuing this line of awakened thought or they shut it down.
It’s all about comfort. And what a deceptive thing that is! Call it sleepwalking to oblivion or what have you, it’s endemic to today’s dumbed-down society. This is why the education system was their primary target since way back, conditioning humanity from childhood to not think analytically but to simply repeat whatever is in their carefully sculpted curriculum.
But most of all do not question authority.
We see this in the news cycle daily and how people react, or should I say don’t react. They’re taught that until the so-called authorities determine what really happened, whodunnit and all the rest, they’re not allowed to make any sort of judgement. No matter how obvious, whether it’s the “suicide” of a prominent whistleblower by several impossible gunshots to the head or clearly engineered false flag events, they won’t form a decision until they get the “signal” it’s OK to think that way.
The Cost of Cowardice
It’s not just infuriating but literally costing those very people, their children and the rest of us, our lives. We can only hold ourselves accountable for such cowardice. Each of us. Unless we stand up against it. And that is an individual choice, not a group one.
We each answer for ourselves. And once we do answer the call to wake up we take action. That’s the only rational response. We’ll tell others like there’s no tomorrow, because there may not be one if we don’t. We take appropriate action in our own lives first and move to prepare our loved ones for what may be immediate consequences of what we’ve realized is going on and how to avoid or mitigate it. We change our eating and buying habits, we re-evaluate our livelihood, personal attachments and living conditions.
All the while intelligently yet passionately sharing what we’ve discovered to be true and the possible consequences.
That’s called waking up. And it’s not comfortable. It’s a lot of hard work, and takes a lot of courage. But really we’re only acting in a responsible manner when we do so, simply doing what’s right. It’s not that big of a deal – unless our priority is how we appear to others, and keeping old patterns of behavior and possessions that we call “comforts”.
How misleading can anything be?
They say a rut is just a grave with the ends kicked out. I heartily agree.
Waking Up Is A Choice
No one can take away our right to choose. We can comply with circumstances or we can make our own path. We can be true to the truth at any time we choose, or we can go along with the deceit and cover up all around us and just get by, thinking that’s the way of self preservation.
Cover your ass, as they say. It’s insane to the core.
The irony is that that is the biggest lie of all. What happens to one happens to all. When innocents are being slaughtered, whether next door or in some far away land, those are our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. If we allow this inhumanity to man to flourish it will soon consume all of humanity at the hands of those who think they have the most to gain.
We live in such a world. We have to face it for what it is and respond. That’s the only conscious choice. Not in anger or fear, but in full awareness and an overwhelming love for truth and our fellow man.
It’s the only choice.
Choose – and act – wisely. Don’t shirk it. We all suffer as a result.
Know that to the bone…because it’s the Truth.

Just bring on the guillotines.
Better the devil that you know than the freedom that you don't.

There's 2 books out there, one by G. Edward Griffen and the other by David A. Stockman. Required reading, check your local library.

Hang the traitors. No more talk, we've done that. Hang them all.
As long as Congress enjoys a bottomless purse courtesy of the Petro-Dollar. That's how long it goes on.
Thats why the last 5 years have been about the various ways to eliminate American's freedoms.
"THEY" know at this point their ticket has been pulled. And none of them intend to meet a guillotine or lamp-post when the consequences of no more Petr-Dollar Privilege have to be dealt with every day in DC/NYC/Chicago
War Is Peace, Peace Is Money; therefore, War is Money, Money is War!
Now go flow the money, young woman!
Stockpile food. Buy tools. Prepare for the worst, pray it doesn't happen.
Pray is doesn't happen? What? On the contrary.
It has to happen just to get a chance to reel in these psychos. Otherwise, we just keep peddling the bike, but it's not going anywhere. We need systemic breakdown in order to corner these bankster crooks and send them to the roach motel once and for all.
The system won't collapse until it reaches its logical conclusion. So help it get there.
stopped paying taxes check
weapons check
booze check
paid off all debt check
stacks of silver and gold check
ready or not here we go.
chaos and collapse must be part of their plan, or the world would be very different. So they must be convinced that they can control it and get out much advantaged as usual. ordo ab chao
"Prepare for the worst, pray it doesn't happen."
Ah, that'll fix it.
I was wondering about a person who would dispense such advice, so I looked at your "biography."
It says:
"I am an enchanted severed head that spits up pea soup and dispenses wisdom."
As good a qualification as I've seen for dispensing opinion and advice yet on ZeroHedge.
We don't want to "fix it", Mr Bond

And the real question here is Are you REALY THIS ignorant or are you faking it?
Let me spell it out for you: IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS AND WILL BE UNLESS ... we change our DNA or something. Land and resources.
An advice: crack a history book.
It has always been like this.
But it cannot continue, it is unsustainable. We are destroying the planet.
The oceans are dying, the land is ever more polluted, the soil is becoming exhausted, the pathogens are winning the war with medicine, the bankers are stealing all the natural wealth, and most of all the hawks are determined we shall have nuclear winter.
It has always been this way and always will be - is an attitude that will get us all killed.
Which is why I'm siding with Skynet.
You can take man out of the animal world, but you can't take the animal world out of man.
If we create a software based intelligence that's capable of surpassing its original programming before we ourselves have overcome our own genetic programming, then we're in for a very bad time, because we'll pass along the worst of our competitive traits to something so powerful that we can't comprehend what it might do.
Or, we accept the fact that debt based money only works in an expanding economy and economies can only expand to a certain point before they overshoot their resources and the system collapses, and we can come up with a better alternative, that's market based.
And I think we can do that without retribution - without hurting anyone.
It's your morality that kills and destroys.

I struggle with this concept daily.
Just wait until the "elections". It's going to be excruciating to watch.
Worse....
I'm going to buy a couple dozen fake dog poops and put small dem and rep candidate signs in them.
They'd look good outside of government buildings and voting places.

Completely agree. GREAT ARTICLE here too >>>

Easy answer,they used to call it LMF: Lack of Moral Fiber.
Cowardice by another name.

I woke up to find I really don't give a fuck.
The sooner it all burns, the better. Enjoy the decline.

Lysistrata solved the problem
Mr. Gardner is definitely on the right track here. What he is fighting is the elite/culture cultivated and now thouroughly ingrained "it doesn't affect me!" syndrome. That is, in the main, the underlying pathology behind the blank stare one receives when stating facts at odds with the "establishment" view of things as presented through hellevision. Fortunately I now live in an area where a large percentage of the population "gets it".
What area is that, if I could ask?
Hell?
It's called mass brainwashing on a historically unprecented technological level.
Government calls it "nurturing".
The sheeple crave dependency, where a parent, or neo-parent, a king, takes responsibility for them. They obey, because they doubt their ability to think. The big lie that each of them lives is that they think and chose, when they only fear to be exposed as mentally deficient. They act alike to protect their egos.
Unfortunately, people believe that the future will be the same as the past and few are old enough to see what The Great Depression was like, as I did. And people don't deal with trouble until they have too. The psychopaths just keep taking and destroying until the people really start to suffer, run out of patience, and throw the bums out. Most Americans still have pretty good jobs, though a lot fewer now. Until truth of real trouble and pain arrive, they will just keep watching TV while the anaconda of evil silently wraps its body around them and begins to crush them. Lets hope that they feel the pain before it kills them and fight back. A few see the anaconda and are moving away from it and working on alternatives. The Greeks want to stay with the snake but not get crushed. Really Dumb. I think the leaders are trying to teach the people the truth and the cost of doing that and are planning on defaulting as the only way to get clear of the monster bank snake.
superb
The Greeks have no choice. They are encircled by the snake as it squeezes tighter and tighter. The snake is here. The snake encircles the globe. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.
The universe remains always poised to support those willing to do that which is right.
Conversely...
The 'universe' although astonishingly tolerant and merciful...Will ALWAYS win.
ALWAYS.
Which is why this mess is about to become recycled.
The planet has been targeted for a North Korean style take down.

LOL ... Dangerous words. Would you have people throw their lives away before the culture is ready for change? It seems as if you advocate conflict. That is their way and playing into their hands.
The mass of people are an impenetrable wall that bends and absorbs, but does not break. Pieces can be chipped away, but the wall remains.
You have asked one of the great eternal questions.
People will not care until it effects THEM, in a personal way. To get to a point where people will care about the sovereignity of their liberty and freedom, one would have to teach them from Kindergarten up through college, grinding into them the importance of excellence and the healthiness of competition, the importance of voluntary aid to the less well off and eschewing the horror of collective theft. They would need to learn the importance of transcendentalism and its balance with existentialism. Finally, they would have to revere the scientific method and its place in a complete and brutally honest history.
And you already know that we are so separated from this ideal that the only question most people can ask is, "Do you want fries with that?"
In my humble opinion 'It is exactly as it should be' !
Look upon the world and its current situation 'It is as it should be'
Be an observer, a tourist to the events. your opinions to ZH etc. Never become a crusader in the sense of your personal safety..
I do not feel in anyway responsible for saving fools from themselves.
I do not feel in anyway inclined to rise up and confront the elites other than with my comments.
Guard yourself and your love ones 'It is as it should be'
you are born into hypnosis, and the wall of 'reality fascism' becomes less and less obvious to you
Humans love to be stupid.
They always have.
A failed species.
Wars are pointless? Which Wars and Why? Pointless for Whom? We expected to roll over for evil?
WWIII Is going to be very expensive in terms of lives and treasure. The Iraq war lost by marxist peacediks cost a trillion dollars, we've since added more'n 8 trillion dollars to the debt and the feds have printed another 4 trillion off the books...why we could've fully funded more'n a dozen wars the size and scope of iraq with all that dough. If we can't settle this peacefully, a civil war may be in order before all is lost.
When you've been poisoned by vaccines, GMOs and fluoride you're toxic, anxious, depressed and seeking the commonly perceived safe haven of the Establishment.
After you have been physically compromised with poisons, you're hardly in a position to resist and will show a blind loyalty to the Establishment. You're not a free thinking, brave and healthy citizen. You're a patient.
