I cannot find the truth.
There are too many tools that are used to shade the truth.
People from all over the world leave their unlivable conditions in hope of finding asylum and a better life.
I cannot understand why people cannot see the truth about the USA. Why don’t they leave once they have experienced an unlivable condition.
Is it that easy to “brainwash” a person? Does the truth matter?I’m going to make your life more confusing.
Go and read all of the following.
Then
Read the comments.
Come back and tell me if any of those comments has changed your opinion of what is the truth.
Where is the truth? Will it matter, if we know the truth?How would we know what is happening without bloggers and commentators?

half the country is
belowabove the bell curveThe “holier than thou” displayed by the upper half of the bell curve is disgusting.
They, (the upper half of the bell curve), think that the lower half cannot do anything unless they have been led and been told what to think and what to do.
For example:
1. they, ( the upper half of the bell curve), think that the rif-raf cannot,and don’t know how to organize a demonstration.
2. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), think that the rif-raf, (the lower half of the bell curve), will put up with any and all social/economic conditions imposed by the upper half without causing any problem ( the rif-raf are considered sheeps)3. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), cannot understand why there is such a thing as the yellow vest, the umbrella demonstration, and the students and their supporters demonstrating for mother earth.
4. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), expect the rif-raf, (the lower half of the bell curve), to behave just like the North Koreans, the Haitians, etc. and to accept and to stay in their place.

In a few more words than me.
Michael Snyder is a nationally-syndicated writer, media personality and political activist.
All around us, our world is literally in a state of collapse, but most people don’t seem to care. I spend much of my time writing about the inevitable collapse of our economic and financial systems, but they are only one part of the story. These days, millions upon millions of us are spending countless hours in this “virtual world” that we have created, and that is preventing many of us from understanding what is really going on in “the real world”.Everywhere around us, we can see decay, decline or collapse. This stunning drop in the bird population is just one more example.
But just like with so many other issues, most people don’t really care, and most people certainly don’t want to change.
So in the end we will reap what we have sown, and it will not be pleasant.

The 737 Max, Purdue Pharma and Houthis revenge attack show that the Emperor has no clothes. Indeed, in fact, with the UK self-destructing, there is no Empire. Israel and Saudi Arabia must learn to live with their neighbors or they will vanish in the convulsions of the end of civilization that they initiated. Likewise, to survive climate change, the USA must convert the wealth that it spends on warfare to protecting mankind and the environment; if not, it will cease to exist.

We, here, know who is causing this suffering.
Why can’t McCann and his team put a stop to the conditions causing that suffering?
Those elites causing this suffering are doing so with impunity.
Millions of people, (yellow vest, umbrella, populist, etc.) have expressed their displeasure with what the elites are doing. The elites, from dictators to pretend democratic leaders, have continuously ignored “the rif-raf”.However, changes are coming. Yesterday is gone.
Could an Amazon type drone have been used?
Someone thinks so ….
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/09/damage-at-saudi-oil-plant-points-to-well-targeted-swarm-attack.html#moreThe hits were extremely precise. The Yemeni armed forces claimed it attacked the facility with 10 drones (or cruise missiles). But the hits on these targets look like neither. A total of 17 hits with such precise targeting lets me assume that these were some kind of drones or missiles with man-in-the-loop control. They may have been launched from within Saudi Arabia.
If you want to keep a secret you need to limit the number of people in the “know”.
The U.S. and Israel are able to commit such attacks. Iran probably too. Yemen seems unlikely to have this capability without drawing on extensive support from elsewhere. The planning for this operation must have taken months.
Saudi Arabia has no defenses against this kind of attacks. The U.S. has no system that could be used for that purpose. Russia is the only country that can provide the necessary equipment. It would be extremely costly, and still insufficient, to protect all of the Saudi’s vital facilities from similar swarm attacks.
My favorite drone delivery system is “re-useable”
Check out this cheap version to deliver explosives.
The new drone can fly vertically, like a helicopter, and in a new, aerodynamic airplane mode
By James Vincent and Chaim Gartenberg Jun 5, 2019, 1:23pm EDTThe new drone uses a combination of thermal cameras, depth cameras, and sonar to detect hazards. With the help of machine learning models, onboard computers can automatically identify obstacles and navigate around them. “From paragliders, power lines, to the corgi in your backyard, this drone has safety covered,” said Wilke.
Amazon claims its goal for the finished Prime Air service is create “fully electric drones that can fly up to 15 miles and deliver packages under five pounds to customers in less than 30 minutes.”
http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-black-swan-is-drone.html
(Some published estimates place the total cost of the 10 drones deployed in the strike at $15,000. Highly capable commercially available drones cost around $1,200 each.)
This is asymmetric warfare on a new scale: $20,000 of drones can wreak $20 million in damage and financial losses of $200 million–or $2 billion or $20 billion, if global markets are upended.
If it’s impossible to defend against coordinated drone attacks, and impossible to differentiate “good” drones from “bad” drones, then the only reliable defense is to ban drones entirely from wide swaths of territory.Small hobby drones may only carry 3 KG (roughly 6 pounds), but how much damage can 3 KG of high explosives cause? The answer is “considerable” if the target is flammable, or lightly shielded electronics.
The mainstream media will be under permanent pressure to downplay the consequences of this attack, but the cat is out of the bag: the Black Swan is a drone. What was “possible” yesterday is now a low-cost proven capability, and the consequences are far from predictable.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-16/photos-that-show-how-attack-crippled-saudi-arabia-s-oil-output
The U.S. administration released images on Sunday that it said highlights the precision and sophistication of the attack on Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil-processing plant at Abqaiq.One photo appears to show a row of four spherical tanks each with similar puncture marks, indicating a highly accurate strike. Those vessels are important because they are part of a process to remove hydrogen sulfide, a highly corrosive chemical that needs to be taken out of crude before it can be refined. Without that, most refineries would struggle to process Saudi crude.
This wider angle view shows damage to other parts of the Abqaiq complex, where there were 17 different points of impact, according to the U.S. government.
There are many reasons by many factions for the attack on the oil refineries. Only a very organized group of +20 operators could keep it a secret and have enough money to carry out this attack.
Here is a good reason to do the attack.
