…are very useful things to know if you have decided to do some DIY around the home and they are readily available on the internet if you do a bit of searching.
When the phrase, tricks of the trade, is applied to governments and politicians, it takes on an entirely different meaning and when used in this context, its unlikely that any information will be found at the exact time that the tool was used.
Only many years later does information make it’s way to the surface which demonstrates exactly how the public were fooled and how easily it was done. Because, their particular trick involves manipulation of the press and media in order to shape public opinion in favour of a policy which is only loosely connected to the real reason.
For example, in the 50’s and 60’s we were led to believe that nuclear power was the answer to all of our energy problems and because it would cost pennies to produce , it would reduce our fuel bills to next to zero. This made it extremely attractive to the public, as the government knew it would. In reality, fuel bills have sky rocketed over the ensuing decades, particularly since privatisation.
Also, in reality, there is no such thing as nuclear power. Nuclear reactors were once described as nothing more than extremely expensive water boilers. Which is what they do. They heat water to produce steam, to drive turbines which produce electricity. Exactly the same job as coal and hydro operated power stations had been doing for years. However, coal and hydro don’t have the ability to produce the, hugely sought after , weapons grade by products which bring in vast revenues to the owners. Hence, why we were sold the nuclear lie.
Another example is bottled water. As an older person , it makes me smile that people are fooled into buying something which was once free for all. In every town in Britain, there used to be drinking fountains in every town square and other locations. To the best of my knowledge, no one ever died after drinking from them as the water supplies were checked on a daily basis for any harmful substance which might have made it’s way into the supply.
So has something happened to the natural water over the years ? Or is this just another example of making money from nothing ? The bottles themselves are quite handy I suppose, as you can fill them from the tap, if you are going to be away from home for a time. I defy anyone to tell the difference. However, I guess the powers that be had to find another way of getting fluoride into us , since it was restricted in mains water supplies, and they want us to pay for the privilege.
If you look around at the everyday things and life’s necessities which we pay for, you can bet your boots that, not so long ago, these things were free or could be had at negligible cost. We are sold wars against countries which pose no threat to us, then asked to pick up the pieces of the broken men returning from them by donating to charities, and give shelter to the victims of the destruction wrought by us. Meanwhile the weapons dealers are doing nicely , thank you.
We are sold theories and concepts such as global warming , climate change and space exploration.
Huge industries have grown around these myths and their shareholders have benefited massively. The public are rewarded with photo shopped images and graphs which ” prove ” something because they were sourced from a scientist, who must be very clever. Clever should never be confused with intelligent. All the intelligent people are out here disproving everything that the clever people are telling us and exposing the trickery.
Therefore, when someone is trying to sell you something as fact from a television screen or radio broadcast, always ask ” Why ?”. Always ask yourself ” If not me, then who will benefit from this ?” I can almost guarantee that the trail will always lead back to the Central Banks, the Corporations and emerging powers outside of Russia and China.

Freud would probably diagnose some sado/masochistic tendencies with a bit of of psychopathy hanging around somewhere in there too. If , indeed, these events are true. And that’s what makes it exciting.
Surely the press must realise by now that Adolf Hitler is any press agent’s race card. Perhaps not, as the ensuing furore demonstrated. Hitler is an often used ruse in the situation where a press secretary finds himself painted into a corner and needs to find a quick exit. The very mention of Hitler sets ears pricking universally and a manic leaping around begins as the initial purpose of the interview is entirely forgotten in a flurry of self righteous accusatory articles.
Attacks on native citizens and their property, in all European nations by ” refugees “, continue unabated and largely unchecked, due to lack of resources being aimed at this problem and a lacklustre approach by individual governments and the EU. Even the attack on football this week, which is bigger and more popular than any religion, has failed to provoke a visible reaction against what was a blatant threat to a sport which many hold more dear to their hearts than their families.
Which is, that we paid into what was once a fair system most of our lives in order to insure against hard times and illness. Also to fund a health service, along with other public services, for all. When we witness people from alien nations entering our country, which our forefathers fought wars to keep free, claiming benefits which we paid for, then having to adjust our lifestyles because of cuts, it does not make for a happy atmosphere around the campfire. I despair when I see politicians awarding themselves pay rises when there is so much destitution where once there was none.
But to class conspiracy theorists in the same vein as famous dissenters like Noam Chomsky, G. Edward Griffin, Alan Watts Howard Zinn and David Icke who also have many other strings to their bows, would be lending credence to the conspiracy theorists ideas which may just as well have been picked up off the street, as far as the mainstream media are concerned.
Why ? Because they are academics and scholars is why. And because of the scholarly nature of their opinions, they are deemed worth listening to and paying heed to, except by the majority of their academic and scholarly colleagues who are too embroiled in the money side of academia to publicly acknowledge the validity of their arguments, lest their gravy train grinds to a halt.
For myself, I couldn’t believe the astonishing ineptitude of those in office and decided to try to find out who actually runs the show. That led me to watch hundreds hours of videos and read many written articles, taking notes as I did so, and I could imagine the same scenario taking place in makeshift workstations all over the world. After that it was simply a matter of applying some of what I had learnt to the real life situations developing in front of my very eyes.
Dissent is healthy in any society because it brings to light any faults in the system and provokes dialogue. The fact that the modern day dissenters are being vilified and their theories being trodden underfoot, demonstrates the seriousness with which administrations actually take them, as they are dangerous to to the government’s agenda.
After all, someone has just taken your trust and respect for them and dashed it against a wall. Therefore, depending on the circumstances, restoring your confidence usually takes some time, during which, a rebuilding of trust can can be allowed to happen.
If the opposite is true then Trump will merely exist as the place at which the buck stops, and as a mouthpiece for a non governmental institution of which Dick Cheney was once Director, a fact which he kept secret from the electorate, and Hilary Clinton went to for advice on foreign policy whilst in government.

And there the similarity ends for most of us. A recent breakthrough in the technical design of this missile means that, on hitting it’s target, the missile’s unspent fuel will ignite, spreading a ball of flame and heat, nuclear style, to immediate surroundings. Sometimes I find it hard to accept that my fellow humans can even contemplate these things with intent.
However, the speed and the blatancy with which all this was accomplished in Syria speaks volumes. The powers that be are sending a clear message and letting us know that as far as foreign policy and the Middle East are concerned, Donald Trump, Rex Tillerson et al have no say in the matter.
As education became more widespread and technology improved, children began to spend more time at schools provided by churches and independent benefactors. Eventually, state owned schools with state employed teachers came into existence and the system as we know it today was born.
They want a passive society who work for them, not the other way round as it should be. My hat comes off to those who have taken the step of educating their kids at home.
However, because these legends of folk history are passed down through many generations spanning several centuries, it is likely that there may be a factual element in their origin.
Far from being just heaps of stones piled on top of one another they have been shaped using cutting tools and carefully set in place.
