If nobody subscribed to boxing, or baseball, or football, or soccer, or any sporting event would the events - and organizations - continue on or even have the effect on civilization as they do? More importantly, what effect is that? And, who profits?
If nobody subscribed to religion would the events - and organizations - continue on or even have the effect on civilization as they do? More importantly, what effect is that? And, who profits? If nobody subscribed to entertainment - movies, television, plays, concerts, recorded media, live broadcasts, even news - would these forms - and organizations - continue on or even have the effect of civilization as they do? More importantly, what effect is that? And, who profits? If nobody subscribed to politics - a total tune out - would it and its organizations continue on or even have the effect of civilization as it does? More importantly, what effect is that? And, who profits? All of the above are examples of how the thoughts of the masses are conformed to think in a particular way, a way that is advantageous to the sponsors. This is nothing new. Ancient Greece (B.C. through A.D.) made similar use of entertainment to manipulate the minds of the masses. All were required to attend the government sponsored plays - even prisoners were required to attend. This early form of mass manipulation did not come across as punitive, but as entertaining - even rewarding attendees in various forms for attending. Attendees left with a somewhat unified view for the purpose of giving less resistance to ideas and intent of their government that may otherwise, be quite unpopular. Less resistance to the giving of their pursuit of happiness, their liberty, and even their life. The notion is popular that the ancient Greek theatre birthed democracy. That it birthed the idea that people have a say in their governance through votes. That through free and fair elections the vulgar unwashed masses have a reasonable control of their fate within their civilization. That they have a voice. That they have an option much shorter then revolting against those ruling over them. That their vote counts. In order for this theatrical political manipulation to work, the people - the vulgar unwashed masses - need to remain engaged with the productions. Not just the overt political productions, but all of it - entertainment, sports, religious activities, news media, and especially, elections. If the people turn away from voting - turn away from believing their voice matters - what then when the rulers become cruelly unpopular with the masses? What then when the pressure of injustice threatens to burst open the borders containing this great experiment called the United States of America? What becomes of the wealth and power of a few who overtly rule this great land of liberty in the guise of openly elected officials? Not to mention, those who covertly rule over them? What is Trump? Is he - or what he represents - simply a pressure valve to keep the whole dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness within the republic of the United States of America from popping into obscurity? Is his sole purpose to give the vulgar unwashed masses a false hope that their voice - their vote - actually matters? A final thought - if it is true that within the leadership of the presidency exists a hidden core of controllers, then what is the point of electing a President, or any other representative for that matter. And in today's current political theater, that possibility seems completely plausible. Does anybody actually believe that the current President, Joe Biden, is making any important national presidential decisions on his own? He may decide which shoes he is going to wear for the day, but beyond that...? With that final thought in mind, would it be unreasonable to wonder about Trump and his integrity? If it is true that there is a 'Forth Branch' of government - unelected, unaccountable to the public, completely hidden from the spotlight - then certainly Trump would be aware of it. Yet, he has not spoken of it nor exposed it. Say it is not so --- Trump is just another actor in the Greek Theater of deception in the politics of the United States of America!
