History is a set of Lies, agreed upon. -Napolean
This is the first of a 3 part blog on ten of the biggest Lies forced upon US citizens.
1. We are in Afghanistan hunting terrorists.
This lie falls under the category of Jedi mind trick - as the MSM is telling us what they want us to see. We are hunting terrorists, they say. There is little or no investigative reporting of this war, and that begs the question why. Here is a fact to consider: 92% of the worlds opium is produced in Afghanistan. In $$$ terms the opium market is already twice the size of the US Gasoline market - and thats without a monopoly in place. . Could you imagine a 92% monopoly on something twice the size of the US gas market? In legal circles, it would be called a motive. Erudite historians will call it the Casus belli. Make no mistake, we are there to gain control (whether direct or indirect matters not) over the Opium market. This would not be very popular on main street, hence the ruse of hunting terrorists.
2. We live in a free country.
As lies go, this one is as brazen as it gets. Most people believe it not because they have to or are told to, but because they want to. Its also an excellent example of a lie told often enough - no matter how big, will be believed. They pound it into your head when you are most vulnerable - growing up as a child. From day one, you are told what sets this country apart from others is we are FREE people. Then the realities of adulthood hit, as you cannot drive a car without a license or registration from gman. You cannot get a job, open a bank account, buy a home, or start a business without gmans permission. Hunting, fishing, or visiting a national park requires greasing gman first. Want to get married, vacation across borders, walk your dog, or buy a gun - you will need gmans ok. You can' t make money , sell investments, earn a living, or even buy groceries without gman demanding a percentage. In this free country , I can't even burn a log in my own fireplace without gmans permission. If you will excuse the double entendre, there is nothing free about this country.
3. The 1930's was a depression, today is just a recession. The best way of measuring the breadth of a depression is not to look at the prevailing wages for which the working class can trade their labor, but rather what those wages could buy. To fully comprehend the sheer magnitude of this lie an apples to apples comparison of what those wages could buy is required. We will use Gmans own numbers courtesy US Bureau of statistics…...
In 1930 The average yearly wage was $1970 - the equivalent of 98.5 ounces of gold - or 1100 barrels of oil - or enough to buy 3 cars (avg cost $640), or 1/2 a home (median price $3860). In 2011 Median wage is $41,300 - about 28 ounces gold - or 413 barrels oil - enough to buy less than 2 cars, or only 1/5 a home (221k median price).
Still not convinced? consider the working poor in 1930 when the minimum wage was 43 cents/hour - or about 4.3 silver dimes - or 4.3 gallons gas - enough to buy 5 lbs flour & sugar and 1 lb hamburger. Todays minmum wage is $7.50/hr - or about 2.5 silver dimes an hour, or about 2.2 gallons gas, or enough to buy 5 pounds flour & sugar - but no hamburger.
I look at these numbers and see the 1930's as heavenly days compared to today. The reason you have been taught the 1930's were a depression is because it was a depression for the upper class - Not the working class. Because it is the rich who get to write the history books we are told we must never return to a time like the 1930's (when the working class prospered at the expense of the rich). Today we have the opposite system in place - the rich prosper at the expense of the working class. I like the 1930's system better.
