If there is one thing we as "educated people" should understand after the next big one (which the lead up to appears to be happening before our eyes) is that you control the media, you control the propaganda machine ....
I think how I can best characterize America from a lot of people not part of NA is the government is not to be trusted to deliver everything over the long term without enough money. The only way they can get more money is to take it from other countries or its citizens.
Other countries understand , when the debt levels are too high we collectively have to have the will to let policticians cut costs (I know, I know how radical ... let them do their jobs) which if they do that wrong will cause them to get removed from office.
The reason America has been allowed to be financially irresponsible is that nobody wants to go to war with her ... they have for decades destaibilized other countries for the benefit of the wealthy ... the media has sold it to be beneficial to have that presence to those countries ... I didn't see any of them driving in their fancy automobiles down the ritzy streets in the world after US intervention.
Anyways ...I digress ... I should have also said
and when you control the proparganda machine you can get away with anything .... thus you control banking!
