    It seems everyone out there is trying to lie to you or steal from you.


    I'm talking about information.

    You look for info in politics -- well one story you might find might have been written by his competitions best spin doctor, or by his own spin doctor.

    Info on medicines/treatment/health -- how do you know you're not just being taken for a sucker for your money?

    Info on anything.....

    Seems like the web just allowed people to spread their web of lies.

    Only things I truly believe are things I see or have proven to me.... I'm always skeptical of everything.

    I feel like I can't trust anything anymore.... feels like every one is just out to take advantage.

    Basically though I feel like every bit of info I'm told has been manufactured to influence me, into spending money, into being scared, into hate, into just being an overall sucker.

    I feel like I'm outside a bubble lookin in, and if I could just get in I'd know the truth, but I can't and won't, nobody will, some might feel they are in there, but sadly they just have been suckered into believing it, so forever you're just told lies and have to choose your allegiances carefully an hope you dont get sucka'd to badly.

    Well yeah, it's up to you to be informed in this world.

    Question everything, accept nothing for a fact, and the rest of that good stuff.

    lying to people to get your way or their money is not really at all anything new. it's just a more effective business plan now. it's not change, it's more effective. don't trust anyone any more now than you would someone then, when someone is trying to trade his inferior animal skins for your superior cast iron goods. that's all.

    It's really hard to KNOW what is the truth anymore,,, you just have to go with whatever you Feel to be true.
    Through my experiences I have come to realize that there is a very small group of people orchestrating what is going on in this world. Saying that the government is "out to get you" is kinda far fetched, but if you look at who occupies the positions of authority in our highest government agencies,,, most of them are making decisions for the industry where they were formerly employed.

    http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Government-industry_revolving_door

    That's a lot to read, but if you read & understand what it means... the agencies that are supposed to be protecting U.S. , are controlled by the industry that we KNOW doesn't care about us as individuals. So is it fair to say that the system has not only failed to protect U.S. ,, they are also responsible for giving the industry the opportunity to control our lives???
    I dunno... I think it's fair, because that's the way I see it. And according to the documents that I've read,,, the industry has taken over the system.

    Then you have to take into consideration that the phramaceutical insustry is nothing more than government sanctioned DRUG DEALERS ! And they have taken over the system like old school gansters !
    http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521854962&ss=exc

    According to this source...
    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_pharmacies_are_there_in_the_US
    there are 249,642 pharmacies in the U.S.
    We are all on drugs.

    So is it fair to say that the "system" is intentionally contaminating our food sources & environment with shit like aspartame, pesticides, pcb's, POSILAC, chlorine, carbon monoxide etc etc etc... to make us all sick so they can sell us drugs??
    I think it is !

    Science is advanced enough to KNOW what it takes to prevent & cure MOST of our diseases, but those scientist work for coorporations that make billions off of chemicals that make us sick,,, or the drugs that make us feel better about being sick. How many drugs can you buy, that cure a disease? Very few if any.
    There is no money in healing people, it's all about selling drugs to them.

    California is suing the EPA over emission levels because they have a governor that didn't have to sell his soul to get into office. Arnold wants to reduce greenhouse gasses and make the air cleaner than the EPA believes it should be.
    http://warminglaw.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/01/breaking-califo.html

    This is acceptable to the EPA...

    And they are willing to go to court n fight to maintain their position of authority.
    Does it look like they are trying to protect U.S. ?
    From what I have experienced, it is pretty clear to me that the USG is a hell of a lot more concerned with protecting the best interest of the industry, than "the people".

    I think everything can be questioned indeed and I don't believe in any universal truth.
