Think Logically

Before we start, here are some interesting facts:

1. If every cow on the entire planet were gathered together, each of them given six square yards of space (we don't want them to be too cramped for this), they'd fit comfortably within the state of Delaware.

2. If every man, woman, and child on the entire planet... you know what? I'm not going to spoon feed you this one. Do the research for yourself and find out which US state would most accurately represent the space needed to hold 8.3 billion people if given one square yard of space each.

Okay, let's get on with it. What do you know about the people you don't know? Logically, you know almost nothing about the people you don't know. What do you know about George Washington? Most people immediately respond, "He was the first President of the United States." Was he? Do you know that, or do you simply accept that as the truth? The simple truth is, you were told, and you believed it. Who told you?

Babe Ruth, Cesar Chavez, Pocahontas, Pol Pot, Marie Curie... what do you know about these people? You know what you were told. They're all dead now-- that's one thing we know. What about Elvis Presley, Osama Bin Laden, Tupac Shakur, and Princess Diana? Are they all dead, or is that just what we've been told? The simple truth is, whether they're dead or alive, we were told. We do not know. Who told us?

Besides being Hollywood actors, what do Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman, Dwayne Johnson, Orlando Bloom, Hilary Duff, Tom Hanks, Jeff Goldbloom and Brad Pitt have in common? Well, one thing we can say is that they're all alive-- or at least we haven't been told otherwise. In this way, we assume that news, such as the death of a prominent celebrity, would certainly be a huge story. If we haven't been told, we assume it didn't happen. This seems like such a simple and uninteresting truth, but it's actually instrumental in keeping people under control.

These are huge premises to keep in mind: If the source is trusted, we believe it; and, if it isn't in the news, it didn't happen. What does this mean to us?

Think logically-- in America, we have a three-pronged constitutional government, described as a system of checks and balances, designed by people who had seen, first-hand, what power unchecked will inevitably become. They not only designed the three branches of government, they also designed back-ups in case any, or even all three, branches became corrupt. Those back-ups are empowered by the First Amendment, and given teeth by the Second, but let's just concentrate on the First. We have the power to elect different representatives and a different president, but what good is that power if we have no idea what our representatives and president are doing? What good is information if it's not shared? This is why we have freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and the right to assemble.

All of this hinges on the integrity of our nation's media industry. Without it, the American people are in the dark.

Have you ever met an American president? Have you ever met a presidential candidate? Most people have never and will never meet a even a school superintendent, let alone a congressional representative, let alone a president. Most people will never meet a B-list actor, let alone an A-list actor. For most people, one hundred percent of the things they know about any politicians or actors or any other celebrities is fed to them by someone on a television or a radio or a computer, with the intent of dispensing information in return for something which benefits them.

Why do they dispense this information? Logically, maybe four reasons: because they receive a paycheck, because they enjoy it, because they believe they have a responsibility to share it, and/or because they want people to believe something. It's that last one that spells trouble for a nation with corruption spreading through its upper echelons.

More logical thinking: Media sources are businesses. Businesses are owned by people. People can be biased, indifferent, and/or bought. Corporations and government entities employ people whose soul purpose is to release information to media sources. They want the public to know certain things. They also want the public to not know certain things. For instance, During the war in Afghanistan, the US supplied fuel to Afghani battalions based on the number of US-supplied vehicles they had in their use. The cost of bringing diesel fuel to an Afghani base, on average, was $1.23 per liter. The cost of diesel at the pump, in Afghanistan, was about $0.61 per liter. Also, it didn't matter than only sixty percent of the vehicles were operational. The extra barrels of diesel were unloaded on the bases, then rolled away and sold in the streets. Is highly unlikely that you will ever hear these numbers from a trusted media source, because, even though it's the tip of the iceberg, the general public does not respond well to knowing that the money we pay in taxes was spent delivering free, unnecessary diesel fuel to corrupt military forces at twice the price as it would have been if we'd just given them money to buy it from their own gas stations.

I am nobody. If I have this information, there is no way that nobody in any media business also has this. Yet, here we are.

There's been a lot of talk, lately, about Hunter Biden's infamous laptop. Some government agents went to great lengths, and paid millions of dollars, to make sure all media outlets understood, months before the laptop's existence was known to the masses, that they may receive information about Hunter or Joe Biden regarding a laptop--that it was likely an effort by Russian hackers to corrupt our election process--and that the information stored within the laptop was unreliable--it simply was not credible information worthy of media coverage. In spite of top government agencies having possession of the laptop for as much as eleven months before its existence became known to the media, they refused to speak to the authenticity of the information, paid millions to social media sources to have any mention of it erased, and even compiled a list of government operatives

who signed a document stating that the laptop had all the markings of a Russian disinformation campaign, all the while knowing full-well the laptop was 100% legitimate. The guy who spear-headed the entire media manipulation campaign, making sure the American public was as uninformed as possible about the millions of dollars received by Joe Biden, and at least eleven of his family members, from China and Ukraine before the 2020 election-- he's now the Secretary of State.

This is possibly the biggest political corruption scandal in American history, but unless the media covers the story, nothing will happen. If people don't hear about it, from their preferred trusted news source, it didn't happen. When the government controls (or manipulates) the media, the back-up system, which America's founders ensured by guaranteeing in specifically in the very first amendment in the Bill of Rights, fails. If you don't know anything about this monumental scandal, it's because the media sources, which you trust most, didn't tell you.

Now, what does all of this have to do with the environment? Think logically-- every single thing you know about the threats to our world's environment, every last bit of information you have the ability to seek out for yourself across the vast Internet, was compiled and presented to you by people whose paychecks would likely disappear if their reported information ran contrary to the narrative established and upheld by the same government entities that told us Covid-19 was not developed in a lab in Wuhan, China, but was actually a naturally-occurring Coronavirus variant that developed in bats... or what is it now... raccoon dogs.

Please keep in mind the diesel fuel provided to vehicles that don't run at twice the local price. That's not just a waste of money, it's also a profit to the companies which supply the fuel. On April 20, 2023, Joe Biden agreed to contribute $1Billion to a UN climate change fund, millions of which will go to China, because even though China is the one of the world's worst polluters, and has the second-largest economy on Earth, it clearly can't afford to, both, fight climate change within its own borders and continue to pay for Hunter's artwork. The United States is one of the world's least polluted nations, and one of the least culpable polluters among industrialized nations. China and much of Southern Asia, all the way to the Middle East are the opposite. My personal opinion is that we should stop rewarding China and other polluting nations by sending them money to combat an issue they don't even care about. To them, it's just another barrel of free diesel fuel.

Why are we told that our world is crumbling around us? So that when governments and corporations exchange billions of taxpayer's dollars with absolutely no measurable benefit to the people who pay one-third of their income to their government as the prices of products continue to rise, there will be an army of misinformed people praising the people and institutions who are robbing them blind. An army? Yes, an army. An army of people who have been fed information and are willing to fight like crazy to defend it, even though it came from the same institutions which sold us on global cooling, WMD's in Iraq, Russian collusion, and vaccines that don't prevent the contraction or spread of a disease. Just like all of these hoaxes, it's just a matter of time before the truth comes out, and no one will be held accountable, because the media will hide it from seventy percent of the nation.

The missing link between Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman, Dwayne Johnson, Orlando Bloom, Hilary Duff, Tom Hanks, Jeff Goldbloom and Brad Pitt... over the years, one by one, they were all reportedly killed falling from Kauri Cliffs while visiting a luxury golf resort in New Zealand.

There was a time, not long ago, when the young people lived by the slogan, "Question authority." Now, it seems the people are more than willing to ostracize anyone who does.
