This is a rather banal point I think most of you have already considered I'm making but I think this post serves a purpose still. Many people don't think there's any conspiracies and laugh at all such ideas or outright get angry and refuse to even contemplate a such notion.

I intend with this thread to demonstrate the awesome power authority figures have over the human psyche, public discourse and civilization as a whole.

Thought experiment - imagine the following:

Nazi Germany won WW2 and holds Europe, Africa. An uneasy peace deal was struck with the US and what remains of the USSR (conceded Moscow).

You are a US citizen, you trust US government, believe in US democracy and am generally content with life and government conduct. Despite obviously harboring no high thoughts about the ruling regime in Europe, you visit this nazi-held continent on vacation since you're interested in its rich architectural heritage (let's say this is after the year 2000 so there's been peace for a long time). Not long after you arrive in the airport, you see this:



You ask a local about this phenomenon in the sky. He tells you it's looked like this for a long time and, on his mobile phone, shows you an article from the official state news media explaining that this is simply jet plane exhaust lingering in the sky, condensation.

Do you believe this?

Though still wondering about this, you're hungry so you stop by the local fast food 'restaurant'... Let's imagine they named it something like, I dunno, McDonald's, perhaps. There's a lot of noise and commotion in this place and the people serving you the food look rather stressed out. You realize they're being paid minimum wage. Further, you realize the wealth distribution for this nazi super state looks something like this:



One of this nazi state's slogans is it's the "land of the free, home of the brave" and prides itself on being an environment where everybody is free to make it as big as their ability allows them in the pursuit of happiness. It's a fair system, the best in the world, and you should be proud of it, you're told.

Do you believe this?

You also realize upon further study that although this state, now known only as the Glorious Greater German Reich, has numerous different media outlets with many different names they're actually all owned by just six huge corporations.



Asking a nearby police officer, wear a spotless, perfectly-pressed swastika-uniform...

here he is! he's a handsome fella:



.. what his opinion is about this media system is he sternly informs you the country's media is free, fair, balanced and offers a neutral perspective on world affairs, unmolested by corporate or government interests.

Do you believe this?


You further realize it's actually not just the media owned by very few in this way in the Greater German Reich, but essentially everything, all aspects of commercial life, including the food vendors. Many of the people involved with these vendors have ties to government bodies advising on health and nutrition and have helped pass legislation on what can be properly used for human consumption.



Some of these companies genetically modify the crops used to produce these products. This fact of GMO-usage does not get labelled on the products because it doesn't have to - it's perfectly safe. All of the products sold by these very few huge corporations under many different names are nutritious (where stated) and the various chemical additives, such as aspartame, are safe and harmless and only help improve or preserve the product.

Do you believe this?

Many if not most people in the Glorious Greater German Reich are officially Christians and many visit church to pay their respects to their God, keeping the holy sabbath day each... sunday. Observing a few music video broadcasts on a TV you notice something odd, however.









You wonder about all of this so you ask a few of the local fräuleins. Once they look up from their phones they explain to you with a nervously laugh that some say there's something called Illuminati symbols in these videos but that's really just a prank put there to make the videos more interesting and mysterious. There's really no harm to any of this.

Some years ago, something bad happened in the otherwise very glorious Greater German Reich. A tragic disaster: a cowardly terrorist attack struck the great nation. Two great towers, the pride of Berlin, were completely obliterated owing to two jet airplanes crashing into them, and the headquarters of the Defense Ministry of Peace and Self-Defense was hit by a plane, too. This fateful attack looked something like this:



Actually, there was a third building next to the two towers that also evaporated into its own footprint at freefall speed despite being struck by no plane itself - this was due to fire from falling debris from the other towers, as officials explained. Coincidentally, 2,300,000,000,000 Reichmark had mysteriously vanished from Self-Defense Ministry's account just the day before, adding further insult to injury for the Greater Reich, although this issue subsided in the face of the threat from these dangerous outside invaders who were all religious fanatics. Thankfully, German leadership acted decisively and immediately invaded the state having housed these dangerous terrorists and which was known to produce weapons of mass destruction that could cause untold damage if left unchecked. To protect the well-being and safety of the Greater German Peoples to prevent an attack like this - which nobody could have predicted beforehand - from ever happening again, legislation granting greatly extended powers in the fields of surveillance, interrogation and permission to set aside civil rights usually in place known as 'Patriotische Gesetz' was put in place. War on terrorism was declared, the Glorious Greater German Reich would not stand for this! After many casualties in multiple wars - mostly on the side of the backwards regimes sympathizing with and housing the dangerous terrorists - heroic Nazi German peacekeeping forces finally managed to secure and kill the vile mastermind having planned this terrorist attack from his faraway lair, disposing his dead body into the sea to spare the Glorious Nazi German public from having to lay face on this vile man. The cost had been high, but the truth had been found out and justice had been served and the Glorious Reich had once again proven its might and commitment to the preservation of the Integrity of human welfare, as Werner Hitler, grandson of The Great Enlightened Führer, triumphantly declared to an ecstatic population.

... Obviously, I could go on, endlessly, talking about the infinite number of coincidences and facts of "how the world just is" most prefer not to devote time and attention to contemplating, instead actively mocking those questioning these topics and asking if they can be placed into a greater context. I have talked to many people I consider both honest and intelligent in reasonable measure who completely shut down at the mention of there being possibly more than meets the eye to any of this. Perhaps this essay can be used to induce more people to question if what they're being told and believe aligns with the truth and facts as closely as they appear to imagine.
