What You Think Is Controlled By What You Watch, And What You Watch Is Controlled By The Elite<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why do you believe what you believe?  Some people have a really solid answer to that question, but much of the population never thinks much about deeper questions such as this.  In fact, for most Americans it is simply easier to let others do their thinking for them.  Today, most of us spend multiple hours each day absorbing information through a screen, and most of the content that is fed to us through our televisions, phones, tablets and computers is controlled by the elite.  And if you allow anyone to feed information into your mind for several hours every day, it is going to have a dramatic impact on how you view the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was \u201cThe Matrix\u201d, and I think that it is a really good metaphor for what is going on in our society today.  In the film, nearly the entire human population was plugged into a system which continuously fed a computer-generated reality into their minds that wasn\u2019t real at all.  Later on, I eventually came to realize that we are willingly doing the same thing to ourselves.  Our personal interactions with one another are extremely limited, but we willingly \u201cplug in\u201d to the enormous matrix of news, information and entertainment that the elite have constructed for many hours each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to numbers that were released earlier this year<\/a>, the average American spends more than three hours watching television<\/strong> and more than three hours on mobile devices<\/strong> every single day\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
