Lobbied Into Submission: Politicians Are Paid To Ignore & MSM Is Paid To Distract

in #news7 years ago

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (3/21/18). 

The recent story that has been pulling attention away from other government atrocities and wrong-doings (as is usually plan) is the news that reveals ... Bombshell... Facebook has been spying on us!! ... and another Bombshell ... The government knew about it and allowed it! ... and it is yet again being tied back to the 2016 election

How is it that news we are all generally aware of -- such as the fact that political and financial elites, and even the government itself, use and manipulate social media to influence your opinion and perception -- keeps getting repackaged and sold to us as a breaking news stories? This may be exactly the point however, to give the illusions that mainstream media is "revealing the truth” when in reality, they are simply finally admitting to a story we have been revealing for years. And grudgingly so, as we have been called "conspiracy theorists" for making this exact same claim not one year ago. So add that to the rapidly increasing list of so-called “conspiracy theories” that are being revealed as true.

When it comes to Facebook, we knew this already. Now I am not saying that this story about Cambridge Analytica is not important, or that the admissions that certain factions were aware of it, behind it even, are not relevant -- they certainly are. But can any of you really say that you weren’t already aware, to one degree or another, that this was taking place? 

Anytime we can see proof that what we suspected was taking place is indeed happening, is important, but why is this story eclipsing everything else that is going on, even in much of the independent media? Such as the ongoing, and blatantly fraudulent escalation with Russia? I think the bigger issue here is that this is seemingly being dropped at the feet of Facebook, even though we know that the Government is deeply tied to all that it does. I am happy to see Facebook fall apart, but we need to refocus this on the true culprits -- the governments that built this empire of influence and control to begin with -- and not allow one media platform in a plethora of compromised platforms used to spy on, and influence Americans, to take the fall alone.  

Oddly enough, despite the American people becoming more aware of the depth of corruption within the their current governmental structure than ever before, they simultaneously seem easier to manipulate using emotion and division tactics then ever before. It certainly is a paradox, yet clearly this was to some degree a created circumstance, or at least one certain entities have become aware of and are clearly using against us.  

The video below gets into a few very important and revealing issues that are being overshadowed by this "new" revelation, but the one that truly upsets me the most, and I feel is hardly getting enough attention, is that of our throw-away society, and the effect it is having on the world. The amount of plastic the western world uses and subsequently throws away without any thought to where it ends up or the potential damage it could then do, is overwhelming to say the least. And yet we seemingly look the other way and pretend that this is not an exponentially increasing problem with very real present and future consequences that are not going away.

This is a perfect example of how we can all see the problem, watch it increase in severity, even understand the solution, with viable options available, yet those in power are slaves to the their corporate masters. And due to constant lobbying, otherwise known as bribery outside of politics, they just ignore one of the fastest growing environmental issues of today. Just ask yourself what else they are ignoring for their future campaign contributions? Just consider the opioid crisis and how despite massive awareness, it only continues to get worse. How much longer are we going to allow this willful disregard for our very future, the future of our children, all for the profit of a small percentage of the population that is in the least need of that financial boost? 

Please take the information discussed in the video below and research for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. As anyone telling you what the truth is, or claiming they have the answer, is likely leading you astray, for one reason or another. Stay Vigilant.

Love this article. The catch 22 in this is, give it a little time and tell someone that FB is spying on us and you are still are talking that "crazy conspiracy talk". The MSM can repackage old news very 6 months and people really do act like it is something totally new. It is almost like the MSM hits a reset button on some people. Keep up the great work and fighting the good fight.

The MSM represents the ultimate form of brainwashing. Everyone knows they're merely a politico-ideological tool to divide us.
