Question 1
  • Capitalism is the best economic system the world has to offer.
4
The answer is FALSE.
  • Capitalism uses the pretext of an equal playing field to convince consumers and producers that everyone is engaging in fair competition.  This pretext has always been false.  Human society has always had a ruling class and this has not changed since the 1700’s, when capitalism first emerged.  Rhetoric about free markets has merely been used to persuade unlearned individuals to consent to military, cultural and economic invasions of foreign lands for centuries.
  • True Capitalism is about the consolidation of power in the name of efficiency.  But few of us dare to ask the question, “Efficient for whom?” The answer is that capitalism continues to benefit the same people who had power before this economic system emerged.  Success gained by people who are not part of this original elite are won because they have wittingly or unwittingly aided this massive consolidation of wealth and power.  Like any good capitalist would do, these people will be discarded once they no longer serve their masters’ utility.  The American Middle Class will learn this lesson shortly.
  • What then is the alternative to capitalism?  If you stated a system that asserts that no human is worth more than another, and that each is entitled to more than adequate food, clothing and shelter simply based on the fact of their existence on this planet, then you have begun to think along the awakened line.  To those of you addicted to capitalism, changing the monetary policies of governments from debt-based currencies created by private central banks to government printed currencies loaned at no interest to the people would be a healthy improvement.

Question 2
  • Democracy is the best political system the world has to offer.
6
The answer is FALSE.
  • Democracy is an ingenious system where the power elite can control society while remaining hidden from the public eye.  People think they are free because they are given “choices” about who will represent them.  As the facts of human history clearly show, democracy rarely serves the masses of the people.  Wealth continues to flow into the hands of the rich while suffering continues to remain unalleviated.  This wealth has gained them better education, access to the media, and the government representatives who pay lip service to caring for the people.  All these tools are used to further consolidate power and hoard wealth.
  • While people are distracted with foolish spectacles like elections, the power elite maintain control no matter who the electorate choose.  This is easily accomplished by placing lackeys in key bureaucratic positions not decided by the electoral process, and who for the most part, remain out of the consistent glare of the purposefully misleading media spotlight.  Non-elective organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations or the Trilateral Commission, write policy for elected officials or dictate their decisions through “advisory” positions within the government.
  • The unlearned answer to this question is that ANY government can be the best government the world has to offer if the leaders, and the people, are enlightened and compassionate enough.  For democracy addicts, the proper response to democratic problems is to expose the secrets our governments and corporations thrive upon.  National Security laws prevent the public from finding out what our governments are doing in our name until it is too late.  The “watchdog” media fails miserably in providing timely and accurate information to the public and the whores among them are concerned with the corporate interest instead of the public.  Human-haters continue to rule.
7
Question 3
  • Men and Women are the same and should be treated as such.
8
The answer is FALSE.
  • Men and women are not the same.  Biologically we are different.  Psychologically we are different.  Men and women both see and interpret the world differently.  To try and say we should be treated the same usually means that one side has to “give in” to be treated by the other side’s rules or norms.  This drastic misunderstanding has driven millions of women to try and be like men, and vice versa.  Parts of the feminist movement have turned women into the sex toys of men, because men have promiscuous natures, and women want to prove equality in this area.  Men have been turned into fashionistas, subjecting themselves to the same degrading media manipulations that were once exclusively targeted towards women.  Both sexes have lost the true essence of their natures as they seek to meet along the lowest common denominator of physical copulation.
  • The unlearned answer is that being a man or a woman is not any person’s true nature.  We are all SPIRITS first, or CONSCIOUSNESS if you prefer that term.  This means that each of us contain both masculine and feminine natures in equal parts.  Societal conditioning and DNA programming force us to choose which one to emphasize.  This confusion is responsible for creating “the battle of the sexes”, which is just another weapon in the elite’s “divide and rule” strategy.
  • As human spirits, the call of the unlearned is to break this psychological and physical prison of perception.  Once we align our thinking to a system based on HUMAN values, then much of the battle of the sexes will end.  While it appears that men may be responsible for most of the grief on this planet, it continues to occur with the assistance of women, who are in the majority on this planet and continue to help raise children to believe in the sick practices that create human misery.  Only a SPIRIT, conscious of its true and complete nature, can lead humans to true equality.
9
Question 4
  • The United States is a major threat to world peace.
10
The answer is FALSE.
  • The United States is not a major threat to world peace.  Nor is any one particular government.  This includes the former Nazi Germany.  The perception that a country is a threat to world peace is used effectively as a scapegoat for public frustration.  Once again, recent human history will bear witness to this.  Despite the falls of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in the last century, the world today is a much more dangerous place, as the powers that be have created an even more invisible “boogeyman” to serve their agenda…terrorists.
  • Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China, Imperialist Japan, Fascist Italy, the United States, Saddam’s Iraq and any other despotic nation you can come up with, are all products of the capitalist system, which as stated before, benefits a very small elite of the human population (the Nazis and Soviets were financed by Wall Street and British bankers).  As many of the US soldiers are learning now in Iraq, their lives were put at risk to serve a corporate and political agenda that had nothing to do with liberating the suffering of the Iraqi people.  You will see the same lesson learned in every war of liberation fought across the globe and through our history.
  • The true threat to world peace is the belief system that most of us endorse at this time.  It is the system that says that there is not enough to go around, that one person is more deserving of another to the privileges of life and happiness, and that we must destroy one another to ensure our share of “the pie”.
  • The unlearned answer is to see that the abundance of wealth and knowledge have been hoarded by a very small percentage of the population.  When the many wake up and demand a more equitable share, the nightmare will be over immediately.  Is there enough time?


11
Question 5
  • Your body contains your mind /spirit / consciousness.
12
The answer is FALSE.
  • Your body contains your brain.  The brain is not the creator of your thoughts or experiences.  It is merely a tool, though the most sophisticated tool so far witnessed, of an organizing field of awareness that religions call spirit and science recognizes as mind or consciousness.
  • No thing can live (come into manifested existence), unless there is first a field of energy that can give it form.  Even the energy needed to manifest must come from a source outside of the energy.
  • By looking at the world of form, two things are possible.  The first is to forget the origin of matter and to think that the form is all there is.  Current mainstream science has greatly contributed in the creation of this reductionistic perception.  Philosopher Ken Wilber has dubbed this perception “Flatland”.  The consequences of this perception have made us all bland and expendable cogs on the wheels of life, easy fodder for the destruction we so callously embrace on this planet.
  • The second possibility of studying form is to increase our own self-awareness by asking the really hard questions of human existence.  What are we learning about the level of our consciousness based on the forms this consciousness is creating?  The very thoughts you think are not your own, but are the products of a field that is independent of your physical existence.  Who or what is this field?  Can we interact with it?  What agenda does it have, if any?  Is there more than one field?  Can I access more than one field at a time?
  • Those of you on the road to unlearning will follow the second possibility.  That this website and others like it exist is merely the demonstration that another form of awareness is trying to gain a manifested expression on this planet.  Who or what is behind it?  Happy Unlearning!
13
Question 6
  • Human civilization began roughly 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.
14
The Answer is FALSE.
  • The history being taught in our schools and reinforced through our cultures and media is merely the LATEST CHAPTER in human civilization.  Archeological and scientific discoveries that reveal older and highly technological societies continue to be shunned out of the mainstream knowledge base.  The first civilizations our history books tell us of appeared on the scene virtually overnight, and many of them displayed a knowledge of the stars that our modern “advanced” science has only recently begun to affirm.  This could only be possible if the architects of those societies emerged from a previously destroyed advanced civilization or were transplanted here from another place in the universe.
  • The current teaching of human history in our schools serves the elite’s agenda of keeping us from our own self-awareness, which makes us easily to manipulate.  The knowledge of our past is important, not merely for the sake of avoiding past mistakes, but for awakening humanity to its true nature and power.  When this occurs, the sham we currently call civilization will be cast aside.
  • Of final note for the unlearned is the warning not to confuse technological advancement with civilized advancement.  In the 6,000 years or so of “mainstream” history, we have done little to advance spiritually or consciously, despite our technical wonders.  We pay lip service to high minded ideas while continually failing to implement them.  The supposedly Christian nation that is the United States has done anything but advance the principles of that mythical rabbi in its borders or without.  The same can be said for Europe or even the non-Christian nations that preach love in their religions.
  • Until we have an honest telling of our human story, civilization will continue to stumble in a fog of amnesia.  Whether we survive the next pit we fall into…only time will tell.
15
Question 7
  • Science is the only way to know the real truth about something.
16
The answer is FALSE.
  • Science seems to discover important facts which lead us to some amazing technologies, yet for the most part, the value of these facts has not been worth much.  Our scientific pursuits continue to be controlled by our profit margins and the desire to exploit and destroy one another.
  • A major obstacle to science’s quest for the truth is its own method of discovery, the famous scientific method.  According to this process, nothing can be declared a fact unless it can be proven again and again in repeatable, predictable outcomes.  This limited scope means that YOU are not a fact!  YOU ARE A NON-REPEATABLE “EXPERIMENT”!
  • This major obstacle has kept science out of the true, burning questions of our existence and has left them to the mind controlling factions called religions.  Furthermore, reducing truth to merely observable and repeatable phenomena has led to the drive to make humans as such.  Enormous amounts of energy are spent observing people in order to discover the best ways to manipulate them into consumerism and other life-defeating agendas.
  • The unlearner will use science as a tool in the truth quest, but will in no way allow it to be the final arbiter or what is “real” or not.  Science has not been able to divorce itself from the humans who use it, which means that scientific “facts” can be manipulated into a dogma of consensus beliefs to keep humans trapped in a limited range of perceptions.  The pharmaceutical industry and allopathic medicine know all too well about this.  The consciousness trap created for this planet is tricky indeed!
17
Question 8
  • Western medicine is the most important asset in achieving and maintaining optimal health.
18
The answer is FALSE.
  • As alluded to in the previous question’s answer, western medicine is becoming more of a burden than a blessing.  Its pricing structure leaves the best care it can produce only to the most wealthy on this planet, while the rest of us are pumped full of drugs that alleviate symptoms yet do not produce cures.  Insurance companies are constantly jacking up premiums and governments that run socialized medicine are decreasing quality care due to budget shortfalls.
  • The recent interest of medical associations into “alternative medicine” is not to better work with them in providing affordable, optimal healthcare for the many.  Their main agenda is to control public access to such therapies by regulating them out of existence or out of the price ranges of most people.  Limiting competition has always been good for business.
  • Iatrogenic illness (illness from hospitals) is the third leading cause of death in the United States and is climbing rapidly.  For all the money people spend on westernized healthcare, the return is increasingly diminishing.  Corporate America has been forcing more of the financial costs of healthcare on its workers every year.
  • The unlearned answer is that YOU are the most important asset in achieving and maintaining optimal health.  The first thing you need to do is define what “optimal” means for you.  Secondly, you must be willing to see yourself as responsible for your healthcare issues, both in the cause and in the treatment phases.  Finally, understanding the role of your Higher Self (the field, the mind, the spirit, consciousness, etc.) can reveal a lot about the purpose of illness in your life.
  • Letting go of the idea that death is a failure would be invaluable too!
19
Question 9
  • Freedoms are rights granted and protected by constitutions.
20
The answer is FALSE.
  • Freedom is what you are, always have been, and will continue to be long after you have shed this mortal coil.  Many in the United States are getting upset that the Patriot Act, and other anti-terrorism measures since the United States organized the 9/11 attacks on itself, are threatening the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Even the most despotic governments, and ours is getting pretty close, could not take away your freedom.
  • Freedom is the desire to live by your own truth and not someone else’s.  Occasionally, humans will make agreements, like a constitution, so that we don’t have to live in fear of one another.  But these are guarantees that merely assuage the weak hearted.  Life never makes those guarantees.  Fear is the one thing that each sovereign human must weed out of their own heart.
  • For the unlearner, fear is the encounter with the unknown parts of yourself.  Fear is a self-created boundary.  That the boundary is there is not right or wrong, it just is.  The sadness around our fears occurs when we allow those boundaries to keep us in when they no longer serve our desires.
  • If one is to be truly free, it means that no fear holds you from your desires.  The uproar around the world against the policies of war and globalization are the sign that we have encountered a self-created boundary that we say is no longer serving us.  The true challenge is then for us to collectively push through this fear, no matter what governments may do to try and stop it.
  • Pushing any great boundary will face you with your own death.  Either way, there is liberation beyond it.  To stay within the boundary when you desire to grow…that is when true death occurs.
21
Question 10
  • Voting Neo-conservatives like George Bush in the United States and Tony Blair in the United Kingdom out of office will put a stop to the current aggressions in the Middle East.
22
The answer is FALSE.
  • But the political systems would love you to believe that this is true!  The whole sham of democracy rests on the illusion that your PARTICIPATION in it makes a difference.
  • Once you see that your vote doesn’t matter, that the elite choose the candidates you vote for, the platforms they run on, the policy makers they surround themselves with, and the state of the economy the country is in, then you will realize what the proper unlearned response to all this is.
  • The agenda for aggression in the Middle East was fomented long before the 9/11 attacks.  Planning can be traced to the mid 1990’s, but probably goes back much earlier than that.  The elite’s non-human agenda is hundreds, if not thousands of years in the making.
  • This agenda will play itself out unless humans wake up on a large scale.
  • The unlearned response has two possibilities at this time.  The first one is that once humans awaken, the decision must be to WALK AWAY FROM THIS SICK GAME, not to fight it head on.  Currently, this is their playground, and you will lose if you try and break up their game.
  • The second possibility is that you are here in this game for the experience of it, possibly contributing to your spirit’s evolution.  Like all games, there is a time limit.  When the time is up (and all indications are pointing that this will be very soon…decades perhaps), you will have the chance to look back and assess what you have learned here.  To try and change the game might be like going into a karate dojo and demanding that they play chess.  If you want to play chess, leave the room and go find the chess club instead of making everyone conform to your desires.
  • Both possibilities bring up numerous creative choices for your life.  Have fun!
23
Question 11
  • The terrorist attack in America on September 11th, 2001 was the work of Osama Bin Laden, with the help of Saddam Hussein.
24
The answer is FALSE.
  • To this day, there would not be enough evidence to convict Osama Bin Laden if he were given a fair trial.  Several of the hijackers listed by the FBI are still alive today.  Flight 77 doesn’t even have an Arab name listed on the passenger manifesto, nor has there been any on the same plane’s autopsy reports.  The links to Saddam Hussein have proven to be a paper tiger as well.  Now that the United States is willing to share some of the spoils in Iraq, the rest of the western world will let this injustice quietly slip away, too.
  • A proper investigation into 9/11, which will not happen until some thirty or so years from now, will reveal that not only was the US forewarned of the attacks and refused to do anything about it, but will also reveal that certain factions within the CIA, Mossad, MI 6 and other intelligence organizations used the banking and financial systems to funnel money to terrorists.
  • Humans will also one day learn that the US government overtly assisted the attacks through a deliberately slow response to that day’s unfolding events.  It is also quite possible that remote control planes were flown into the WTC and Pentagon.  There is no way any human trained in a single engine Cessna airplane could perform some of the maneuvers those planes did that day.
  • Those of you who have unlearned already know the “why” behind the question, “Why would the US allow 9/11 to happen?”  Those of you who still fail to see this need to read about Operation Northwoods and a book called The Grand Chessboard by Zbignew Brzesinski, not to mention David Icke’s excellent book, Alice in Wonderland and the WTC Disaster.
  • We are at peak oil my friends, the violence will only escalate from here.  The terrorists we need to be aware of are on our television screens every day.
25
Question 12
  • Free trade organizations like the WTO, World Bank and the IMF are helping to make the world economy more prosperous.
26
The answer is FALSE.
  • These free trade organizations were designed to bring the world economy to a global collapse, much like the Federal Reserve did in the 1930’s to the United States.  The reason for the collapse is the same as it ever has been.  An economic collapse allows the banking industry to trade in their phony wealth, the debt currency created out of paper and thin air, for real wealth (land and other property) through the guise of legitimate foreclosures.  The increased wealth leads to a further centralization of power and the continued decline of human rights.
  • With these global organizations, the deal that must be bartered is the destruction of trade barriers, which allows the developed nations to rape a country of its natural resources, abuse the human population through substandard wages and working conditions and destroy its economic diversity in order to create a destitute and beggar nation.
  • Once again, the theory of “free trade” espoused by capitalist fanatics is pure lip service.  Economic diversity is being destroyed in developing nations, as is rule from within.  Increasingly, IMF rules must be followed, natural resources turned over to international control, and the people kept in line.
  • What happened to Africa as a result of national and economic imperialism is now beginning to happen in South and Central America.  The western world sleeps because the effects of these policies have not come home to roost.  Be assured that they will.  Unlearners know that the economic theory of “sustainable growth” is just not possible on a planet that is weary from political, economic, spiritual and environmental abuse.


27
Question 13
  • Economic cycles of Boom (Expansion) and Bust (Depression) are stimulated by the delicate balance of supply and demand.
28
The answer is FALSE.
  • Every student of Economics learns of Von Mises’ theory of the business cycle.  This is propaganda 101 that every human needs to unlearn.  Booms and Busts are PURPOSELY created events meant to confiscate wealth from the many into the hands of the few.   The game has been going on for centuries, but really began to speed up when the modern industrialized nations adopted Central Banks to regulate their currency.
  • Let’s face it; humans are always in demand of products.  What determines how much demand people have is the money in their bank accounts.  The central banks control demand through their manipulation of the money supply.  More money in supply means greater spending, while less money in supply means saving.
  • Both sides of the cycle can be used to create gains for those in the know and harm to those not in the know.  You can be rest assured that many of the “connected” wealth will not be financially harmed in the upcoming global collapse.  They will continue to be the ones who control government policy and the media with their wealth.
  • The unlearned answer to this very central problem of human life is to end the control Central Banks have over a nation’s money supply.  As easily as the government can borrow money from private banks at enormous rates of return to the bankers, it can print its own money interest free and lend it to the people.
  • Presidents have been shot for thinking and doing such things.
29
Question 14
  • The Federal Reserve is part of the United States Government.
30
The answer is FALSE.
  • The Federal Reserve is a privately owned and operated institution.  It uses the world “federal” and builds impressive, governmental style buildings to create the illusion that it is operating in the public trust.  Many of the shareholders in the Federal Reserve are foreign investors.
  • Further proof that the Fed does not work for the public interest is the fact that it conducts its meetings in secret.  Chairman Greenspan’s words are read cryptically by financial and economic analysts everywhere as they try to decipher what the Fed’s next move might be.  You can be sure that the “connected” wealth already knows well in advance when the next boom or bust is coming.
  • The Federal Reserve is an organization that merely carries out the policy of the World Bank.  It will hand deliver a collapsed US economy over to the World Bank so that we will more easily accept the coming one-world currency.
  • Unlearners know the agenda of the Federal Reserve and other central banks like it.  Even if it were a part of the US government, it would be foolish to expect it to act in the public’s favor.  The US Government, and most other governments in the world, stopped doing that a long, long time ago.
31
Question 15
  • The European Union has no plans to increase centralized control and will respect the sovereignty of its member nations.
32
The answer is FALSE.
  • The European Union will erode the national sovereignty of its member nations much the same way that the Federal government in the United States eroded the sovereignty of its member states.  The Civil War in the 1860’s ended what had been up until then a vigorous debate over state’s rights.
  • One of the Rothschilds once said, “Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes the laws.”  The world’s wealthiest family is in firm control of the Euro and the Dollar.
  • Under the guise of “sound economic policy”, member states will increasingly turn over economic decisions to the centralized government.  Under a future threat to European security, member nations will turn over control of their militaries as well.
  • This is not the final goal, however.  Unlearners are fully aware that national sovereignty all over the globe will be traded in for a one-world government somewhere down the line.  Those still asleep will view this as a welcome development in human civilization, much like the creations of the United States and EU.
  • Any human sufficiently aware of the game’s agenda sees the folly of it all.  As long as we use governments as tools of enforcement, we will constantly be controlled by those who have the power to enforce their will upon another.  The sick philosophy of “might makes right” continues to rule the roost, no matter how much talk there is of peace.  Only a government dedicated to informing its people of the facts, but leaving the sovereignty of their lives intact, is worthy enough to be called human.  We haven’t seen one yet.
33
Question 16
  • Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission have little bearing on the official policies of governments.
34
The answer is FALSE.
  • It may be said to some degree of truth that these organizations are the true governments.  These secret, unelected, wealthy and highly influential organizations frequently write policy for our elected government leaders.
  • The political process in which voters try to determine what a candidate’s particular views are is ultimately a waste of time.  Once in office, any elected official will continue on the foreign policy track of their predecessors.
  • These and other NGOs coordinate their efforts for increasing global control away from the eye of the “watchdog” media, whose real job is to misinform and distract the public while the consolidation of power continues.
  • Any elected official determined to fight the agenda of these organizations will meet staunch opposition from other leaders firmly in their grasp, and will be smeared by the media which is under their control.  The mostly unlearned populace will be and have been easily swayed by these tactics.
  • Like the proper solution to governments, the unlearned response is to end the practice of any public official meeting in secret or from belonging to a secret organization, fraternal or otherwise.  If the success of a democracy depends upon an informed public, then sunshine laws must be expanded in every possible place.  Governments and their henchmen have already been watching you.  Putting the spotlight on them will place the game on more even terms, don’t you think?
35
Question 17
  • Secret societies such as the Freemasons and the Knights of Malta are merely honorary organizations engaging in noble charity work.
36
The answer is FALSE.
  • The charity operations of such fraternal organizations are merely fronts for those in the highest ranks of these organizations to advance their agenda without suspicion.  Occasionally, these organizations will get caught, like the P2 Freemason Lodge in Italy.  For the most part, these organizations continue to be understudied in their impact on political events.
  • The Knights of Malta have full diplomatic rights given to them, despite the fact that they have no country to speak for.
  • Freemasonic organizations do donate considerable amounts to charity.  By their own estimates, hundreds of millions of dollars are donated each year in the United States.  However, donating to charity does not excuse the hidden agenda of these organizations.  The mafia has been known to take care of the people in the areas they operate out of, yet this does not legitimize their crime nor absolve them as a threat to society.  To take this one step further, the good the United States does in this country and around the globe does not negate the evil it has been perpetrating upon the world since its inception.
  • Most freemasons are good people, most Americans are good people too.  I’m sure most of the people in Nazi Germany were fine as well.  Unlearners know that organizations using pyramid structures can be easily manipulated to advance and cover a secret agenda.  Like the solution mentioned in the previous question, only when humans give up their fetish for secrecy can truth be said to have found its home on earth.
37
Question 18
  • A majority of the humans on this planet believe in the god of the Bible.
38
The answer is unfortunately TRUE.
  • The damage that has been done throughout human history because of the belief in this one deity is beyond comprehension.  No matter if it is a Jewish, Christian, or Islamic interpretation of this biblical character, the end result is to always put this figure before humans even though god is willing to put humans before himself.  This is odd considering all these religions tell us that god is merciful, selfless, unconditionally-loving and extremely generous.  Kind of funny that the world doesn’t seem to share in these qualities.
  • Of course, any true criticism of the failings of this god can not be blamed on the almighty himself.  If it isn’t the devil who is responsible, then it is poor and weak humanity. After all, we were given free will.  It’s not god’s fault we choose to ignore him.  This kind of reasoning is sophomoric to the extreme.
  • Humans by their very nature are compassionate and good.  The religions of the world have taught humans the opposite and to live in fear of one another.  They also teach that salvation from the ways of the world can not be found within us, but only via an external source.  This disempowering philosophy continues to keep humans wallowing in their own misery instead of offering them a true way out.  God, as well as hope, is peddled like crack to the minds of the unlearned.
  • As John Lennon and countless other human visionaries have said, the scourge of religion must be abandoned.  It is another part of the divide and rule strategy of the elite.  Any serious study into the sacred scriptures will reveal an astrotheological metaphor that hints more at a truer ancient history/mystery than the fake history the Bible claims to reveal.
  • “To thine own self be true.” Unlearners would do well to reflect on this.
39
Question 19
  • Major news media organizations do not report the truth in a timely and accurate fashion, nor do they have it as a priority to safeguard public liberties.
40
The answer is TRUE.
  • It is interesting to watch all the news organizations report the tough questions about Iraq now that the US invasion is over.  The same is true about 9/11.  It was about a year later when it started to become public knowledge that our government had been forewarned.  While true reporters had cracked these stories months ahead of the mainstream media, they were washed out in the cacophony of media pundits scaring the people into war.  The news media have been doing this long before the days of yellow journalism a century ago.
  • Major news organizations are owned by media conglomerates, in other words, Big Business.  Under the guise of fair and balanced reporting, the whores of the media can control perception through camera angle, flashy sound bytes, and the skillful tactics of non or under-reporting.  The agenda for these highly superficial efforts is to promote consumerism and fear.
  • The internet has done much to bring good reporting to the public eye, but the mainstream media has done much to discredit the internet as a credible source of knowledge.  It is hard to take a medium, whose chief export is pornography, seriously.  Despite these challenges, and the flood of disinformation on the web, the truth is out there if you dig hard enough.
  • For unlearners, a crucial study of history will reveal the lies our media has helped to disseminate time and time again.  How long will we continue to place our trust in people who lie to us?  Besides awakening our minds and hearts, humans must be willing to open their eyes to the outside world and report the truth in their parts of the world.  The more information one has, the more potential for freedom there is.
41
Question 20
  • God will save us from the nightmare of war.
42
The answer is FALSE.
  • The god of the Bible seems to love war.  Not only are the Jews fighting for the land god told them to conquer, he’s also told them to conquer his other people, the Arabs who follow Islam!  The Arabs believe in a Holy War to promote the worship of Allah.  In the name of Jesus (another alias of this trickster), Christians have murdered more than the other two religions combined!  This would all be hysterical if it were a movie, but the tragedy of these beliefs continue to be played out in real life.
  • The world is positioning itself for a major conflict in the Middle East and religious tensions will be used to manipulate it.
  • Throughout our histories, all nations have implored god to bless their troops and grant them victory over enemies.  Throughout history, humans have prayed for peace to this same god and he has not delivered.  Sounds and looks like he prefers one prayer over the other!
  • Unlearners must be willing to look deeply into the religious manipulations that have been occurring on this planet for millennia.  Our creators seems to have other things in mind than creating paradise.  Then again, “who” is defining what paradise means?
  • Until humans are willing to see themselves as fully empowered sovereigns of their own lives, non-human deities such as the biblical monarch will continue to inflict an inhuman agenda on the planet.  Spiritually, we must develop the strength to say “no” to this folly and “yes” to ourselves.
  • The salvation from war will come when YOU no longer choose to destroy another.
