Ever wondered why we think the world has gone mad? Do you sometimes feel like pulling the emergency cord and jumping off? Do you sometimes think, it's not the world that has gone mad, but that you are just not intelligent enough to see through to the real workings of government? Someone somewhere has got everything under control? Wrong. There is no control. The reason you feel the world has gone mad, is because you are constantly being fed lies. You know how simple it is to run a home, a school, a business, even a local community. So why is it, as a world, we are not getting it right?
There is a very simple answer. People lie all the time to protect their vested interest. When the vested interests are on a global scale, with big money involved, the lies have to be proportionately bigger. So whether you see terrorist acts being committed or just your local school not being properly equipped, or neighborhoods near you which are not getting the funding they need to prosper, or the health service in your area breaking down, ask yourself who could possibly benefit from such a situation, and there is your answer. Or when you find stress levels going through the roof in your company, and company policy is not geared towards dealing with that, or you are not getting a pay rise this year which will even keep pace with inflation while your boss is still driving his dream car, ask yourself, who benefits, and there is your answer.
For years governments argue that there is not enough money for this and not enough money for that. People lost jobs, families broke up, homeless were created, people went without medical attention. Schools aged, hospitals grew overcrowded, pensioners were impoverished. No solution in sight. Then what happens? Financial crash worldwide. Suddenly there is a lot of money produced to reimburse the very people who were responsible. There is always money for the right cause and whenever you see things going on you don't understand, money is usually somewhere behind the problem.
If you thought the world had gone crazy before the financial crash, imagine how crazy we must be now not to have done anything at all about it, but continue blindly on the same course. Imagine getting back into a car you know has been deemed unsafe to drive. That's a good analogy of what is going on at the moment. Of course the real loser is the planet. The natural biodiversity of our environment is being rapidly eroded. Welcome to the future! A world without trees and animals, just greedy men and women plunging ever deeper into the black hole of their own vanities. Now that's crazy!
