The late George Carlin (1937-2008),     a sardonic American stand-up comic, once said:” “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Oh, is it as bad as that? Will we have difficulty educating the masses about financial realities if they are that dumbed down? Just consider this, and cry:

    This explains a lot; such as how easy it is for the elites to control the masses with just media propaganda, and why they have allowed “democracy” to exist on paper, since they can control people just as easily as a dictatorship, but with less expenditure of resources, in a decentralised black market kind of way. It is truly amazing how the Satanic system works. It makes the evil villains of the comic books and movies, look like, well, fiction.
