Trust & Terror

“If you can’t trust the governments of the world, who can you trust?” – Young Einstein

I just came across a survey conducted and published by Parade (March 22, 2009). Parade is that weekly insert that goes into probably every major newspaper across the country. They asked, “Does America’s Terror-Alert System make you feel safer?”

To this question, Parade reports that a whopping 79% said “NO!” Furthermore, they report that the consensus of opinion is summed up in this quote: “This alert system is just a scare tactic set up by the government to make people afraid and easily manipulated.”
Again: That quote isn’t from some-off-the-wall, lone and loony conspiracy theorist, but by the nationally recognized Parade magazine!

I’m impressed! People have not only lost their faith in government, but have somehow acquired contempt for the people running it. That seems like progress to me!!

The ancient Mayans prophesized that this current cycle would be a time in which communication would be greatly improved and perception would be greatly enhanced. As a result, secret agendas would cease to be secret. Sure looks like it’s panning out that way.

Cheers!
