Our Leaders and Their Lies

I understand why you believe that our leaders are good. I really do.

You believe that it’s always best to believe the best in people.

And our leaders are people just like us, right?

Wrong.

They are not people like you. They are not like you at all.

Believing the best in people will work for regular people who you have to deal with on a daily basis.

Regular people have no choice but to be basically honest.

If I am running a bakery and you ask me for twelve chocolate chip cookies, I’m going to sell you twelve chocolate chip cookies. I’m not going to sell you eight crummy sugar cookies and then lie to you.

I can’t afford to do that .

I need you.

I need you as an ally.

I need you to be able to vouch for my honesty and integrity.

If I cheat you or lie to you, I’m out of business.

Our leaders, particularly those in the oligarchy are under no such constraints.

Some of them have all the money in the world and therefore do not need you.

You are but one in a sea of millions.

Political leaders also see you as one in a sea of millions.

They don’t need to worry about lying or cheating a few people, especially when their friends control the media – even more so when their friends control the judiciary.

Unfortunately, we have reached a state of affairs in the United States, where our oligarchy lies with impunity, cheats with impunity.

So no, our leaders are not like us, and believing the best in them will not work.

They are not like regular people any more. They’re not like you and I.

Yet they bank on you, believing that they are good people

Money and power has corrupted them.

They are too far removed from the pressures and constraints of daily life.

And so now they fight useless foreign wars in order to enrich the large corporations who will supply the materiel to fight that war.

To make sure that we do have plenty of foreign wars, they will construct false flags in order to rally you to fight that war.

A false flag is when our leaders construct a stratagem to attack ourselves and then blame it on the enemy in order to serve as a pretext to fight a war.

This is not a myth.

This is a real thing.

The attacks are real.

In the early 1960s, General Lyman Lemnitzer of the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed to John Kennedy that we construct an attack against ordinary Americans in Miami and then blame it on the Cubans to give us the pretext to invade Cuba.

It’s fair to say that most of our wars have involved a false flag.

The attack on the USS Maine in Havana.

The sinking of the Lusitania.

The attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident.

The 911 attack on the World Trade Center.

This is how politicians and leaders think.

They know that people don’t want to fight war, so they give them a reason to fight war.

But is war necessary?

Our leaders, who are morally blind, believe that man is inherently evil, which is to an extent true, and that war is inevitable because of that inherent evil nature. In other words, our enemies can never be trusted; therefore, we must rule with an iron fist.

Yet, our common every day experience with each other in which we live peacefully suggests that we can live in peace.

And that is because the people who live in other countries, who our leaders deem as our enemies, want the same things that we do. They desire a peaceful life for themselves and their children. They don’t want to go to war either.

The people in Iran happily go to the Palladium mall and shop. They buy goods from American corporations.

The Iranian people would prefer to continue happily purchasing television sets, jewelry, make up, video games, toys, nice clothes, and high quality food.

The only people who want to go to war are the morally blind leaders of both nations who benefit from their respective war machines.

So war is not inevitable.

War is only inevitable if we continue to permit our leaders to act in the manner that they do.

It is possible to attain peace.

This was the whole point of John Kennedy‘s address at American University in June 1963 in which he stated that war was not inevitable.

In his speech he stressed the commonality that we all share. We all breathe the same air.

Unfortunately, we will never attain that state of peace until we begin to understand that our leaders are not like us.

We share more in common with the regular people who our leaders deem as enemies than we do with our respective leaders.

Believing such will get us far.

Sincerely,
