The Last Thing

It may surprise many but the last thing people wish to hear today is the TRUTH, which, as most westerners know, sets us free. But that is exactly the problem. Truth is challenging but propaganda and lies placate and help induce populations into ‘safe’ fantasy worlds comforted by numbers, which clearly is the preferred option as is apparent. Facing harsh reality which truth demands, is anathema to the majority living in a dreamworld -- the American population is a good example, for instance; Americans are so averse to reality/truth they have elevated a buffoon and pathological liar (a desired necessity for fantasists) to the highest office in the land, in which position he remains even though he is compromising the nation and people on a daily basis, BUT LIES are comforting, as they enable responsibility to be deferred.

However, there is a huge cost to this type of mass pathology, RUIN, personal and national. Consider the alienation from reality and the internal conflict that generates in people and the dysfunction it generates in nations/organisations; indeed most Americans know the truth, but prefer denial; have you ever made a LEGITIMATE complaint to a corporation, which group now run the country. They ignore, obfuscate and stall, they would do anything but face the reality of dysfunction, which demands dealing with systemic faults, which staff, from top to bottom are responsible for. So your LEGITIMATE complaint, is filed in the non-reality drawer, as it is EASIER to deny than rectify problems, of course at the end of the day the house comes down, which is KNOWN by the executive, however, they jump ship with their ill-gotten gains before that eventuality actualises. The same applies to nations.

We see evidence of this pathology in our everyday lives in the form of internalised conflict and self-defeat, what do you imagine is the greatest cause of stress today? Living a LIE, the larger the lie, the greater the stress, which creates huge disruptions to our happiness and standard of living. It manifests as all forms of physical, mental and social DIS-EASE, are you at rest, are you able to explain why America is the most medicated population in the world?

Only Truth saves, it forces confrontations with reality, that process means taking responsibility for OUR lives, which involves dealing with and eradicating everything that harms our lives and our society. Mass shootings of innocent people are symptomatic of the derangement and internal conflict that living in fantasy induces.

Today the objective world is watching America unravel at speed, where do you imagine a madman divorced from reality would lead you, America? It is well known in Europe and Asia, that if you follow a blowfly it can only lead you to shit!

Now please stand for the national anthem, it helps a little, doesn’t it? The indispensable nation is ENTIRELY dispensable, America is far from great, its greatness is LONG GONE because the population prefers denial and fantasy rather than dealing with reality. As a result it trails most western societies in essential medical care, education, social services and essential infrastructure maintenance as well as its gross military failures like maintaining superior weaponry, the F-35 and aircraft carriers are costly disasters, which bankrupts the population that are now forced to tighten their belts -- decrease living standards -- until that belt reaches their spines, more evidence of the failures of living in a dreamworld.

Other perceived ‘enemy’ superpowers have developed far superior asymmetric weaponry at a minuscule fraction of the cost that America develops lemons -- but please don’t tell that to Americans, who would fight to maintain their delusions rather than face the OBVIOUS truth/ REALITY.
