When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.

ISAAC ASIMOV

When you were training your mind in school, was there a penalty or reward for getting great grades?

Did the people who were putting in subpar work rise in such a system, or were they slowly getting funneled into lesser opportunities, while the highly-educated rose to new echelons of power?

So why then would it be a logical conclusion that intelligence should be castigated in moments where stupidity gets confused with patriotism?

I believe a giant portion of the blame lies in the 4th House of Government, the media. The media is run by giant corporations whose bottom line is triggered by continuous eyeballs. Where once there was integrity with the likes of Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow, and similar, integrity-based reporters, and journalistic laws like the Fairness Doctrine, these safety valves on our democracy have been replaced by the Sean Hannity’s of the world, whose sole purpose is to shovel complete and total lies down the audience’s throats until eventually, the less intelligent people begin to believe the propaganda. We have metriculated from integrity based reporting to delivering complete and total lies as if our media were in fact, PRAVDA.

Intelligent people see right through this. We have studied history. We understand how propaganda has been used in the past to control and enslave a population and coerce them into performing heinous tasks.

There is no longer time for any intelligent person to “conveniently” opt for a quiet seat to watch how it will all play out. There are far too many less intelligent people who are being co-opted before our very eyes. The further into Earth 2 mindset they slip, the faster/easier it will be for those dark forces to take over and rule.

Wake up! Vote like democracy depends upon it, because it does.

Happy Sunday!
