How our government gets away with murder

While good citizens shrug their shoulders and move on.

From food additives, fluoride, and religion, perhaps we've been conditioned from birth to believe we can't make a difference in our govt policies.

This excerpt gives cause for thought when considering the support for the current admin from the "Bible Belt":

Or, you can suspect the mentally debilitating effects of fluoride, chemtrails, and food additives - not to mention the omnipresent radioactivity increasing in our atmosphere by the day, or the conscience-numbing aphasia of antidepressant drugs - as possible reasons for this detached malaise that causes many people to be completely disinterested in the vital processes that control and diminish their own lives.
<snip>
I believe that religions are ultimately debilitating to the spirit, because they try to make us believe things that we know are not true, and in accepting the tenets of any religion, we leave ourselves open to a pattern of behavior that accepts things on faith, without examining them rationally. And this process habituates us to accepting lies as truth, as long as they emanate from an authority figure we have conditioned ourselves to respect.

Once you are willing to accept something that deep in your psyche you know goes against what you perceive to be rational truth - e.g., Jesus died for our sins and rose again from the dead - THEN YOU CAN BE MADE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING, whether it is true or not, as long as it comes from an authority figure to whom you have given credibility in your mind.

Thus, according to the tenets of the psychological process known as transference (in which we take the feelings of trust and dependence that we feel as children toward our parents and transfer them as adults to a relationship with an imaginary sky god to maintain our inner feelings of security), we want to accept what George W. Bush tells us because we have embedded ourselves in American society, and our whole meaning becomes challenged and distorted when we lose that focus by realizing that probably everything that has come out of Dubya's mouth in his whole life has been a cynical and sarcastic rich boy's lie.

::yawns:: yeah when they say something like this, i usually tune them out. Must be the flouride.

Seriously though, the Russians DID experiment with fluoride as a mind control drug in the 50s. That much is a fact...how it turned out, I don't know.

Most "conspiracy theories" are indeed based on facts.

A personal case in point is my youngest son...In grade school he refused "rinse and spit" treatments. His mother and I endorsed his protests at the time, much to the frustration of school authorities.

Now at 28, he's the kid that's known for his "question authority" attitude and disdain for all things government. Might be a coincidence though. (Still has teeth too BTW)
