Cognitive Dissonance

We’ve all wondered how someone could display heaping helpings of hypocrisy and not see, or even be aware of, their own duplicity and double standards. Regardless of whether it’s a stranger, a friend or even a family member, what is glaringly obvious to us is clearly not so to them. And just as clearly, if we can see it in them, they can also see it in us.

I just so happen to be an expert in personal hypocrisy, having demonstrated time and time again over many decades a propensity to default to hubristic demonstrations of humongous hypocrisy bar none.

Once again the masters of the universe have managed to divide and control the US population in order to distract most from the continued looting and financial oppression of the middle class. Only this time they have been forced to blatantly align most of the mainstream press and the surveillance ‘services’ against one ‘side’ in order to polarize both.

You would think “We the Polarized” would wise up to these divide and control techniques, but sadly we do not. And I suspect ‘we’ never will, at least not for this iteration of the mind meme manipulation game. Continue reading Ψ – Patreon Newsletter # 4 – Polarized and Very Very Prickly
