We've Been Lied To Our Whole Lives About Everything That Matters - Caitlin Johnstone

[FBInCIAnNSATerroristSlayer]

How many times did I say for years that "EVERY WORD" from the orifices
of the EVIL US Govt and MSM is a "LIE".

EVERY WORD.

No Exceptions.


None of you understand HOW EVIL, Western Govt PSYCHOPATHS are.

99% of what's in your brains is DELUSIONAL/FAKE REALITY artificially
INJECTED by the EVIL CIA NSA MI6 MI5 ASIS ASIO CSIS Psychopaths.

What all of you experience, perceive, live and think is NOT REALITY at all.

You don't understand what I say, because you BELIEVE in your heads that
Western Countries are ANGELIC DEMOCRACIES and everybody else on the
planet is EVIL, exactly like your EVIL Govts BRAINWASHED YOU 24x7 with
COVERTLY controlled MSM.

Stories about protagonists who've been misguided their whole lives about
something very important have been emerging in our culture for
generations, and they continue to delight audiences in the box office to
this day.

The pauper was really a prince. Luke was Darth Vader's son. Keanu Reeves
had been living in a computer simulation. Bruce Willis was really a
ghost. Jim Carrey's whole world was the set of a TV show, and everyone
in his life had been lying to him since his infancy.

This theme repeats so often because it strongly resonates with people.
And it strongly resonates with people because it's exactly what is
happening.

From our earliest moments we are trained to fit in with a society that
was designed from the ground up by the powerful in the service of the
powerful. As soon as we are old enough to get curious about the world
and how it works our heads are filled with lies about such matters, by
our education systems, by the media we consume, by our parents who were
indoctrinated in the same way, and by the very culture we find ourselves
immersed in from day one.

These stories about a character who's been deceived about life resonate
so strongly with us because on some level we all suspect it might be
true of our own lives as well. They whisper to something hidden and
sacred within us that has always sensed that there's something not quite
right with the way we are perceiving things.

We've spent our whole lives marinating in lies which serve the powerful.
We're deceived into believing that we live in a democracy whose
government acts in accordance with the will of the voting public. We're
deceived into believing our political systems are driven by two warring
ideological factions whose divisions are naturally occurring phenomena
in our society instead of the product of deliberate social engineering.
We're deceived into believing our government is basically good, and that
it stands in opposition to foreign governments who are pure evil. We're
deceived into believing the way things are is the only way they could
possibly be.

We're deceived into believing false things about the ways we gather
information and form our understanding of the world. We're deceived into
believing the news media tell us the truth about what's going on. We're
deceived into believing that everything we hear from our side of the
political partisan divide is true and trustworthy. We're deceived into
believing the partisan filters which have been placed over our
perception of national and world events by indoctrination are entirely
reliable instruments for interpreting information and drawing conclusions.

We're deceived into believing false things about ourselves. We're
deceived into believing that we are successful if we can become dominant
capitalists and wealthy ladder climbers, and that we are failures if we
don't turn the gears of industry and climb over others to get ahead.
We're deceived into believing that we are good if we uphold the made-up,
power-serving rules of law, of culture and of religion, and that we are
bad if we transgress them. We are deceived into believing that we need
to keep accomplishing, achieving and obtaining, that we need to keep
earning money and approval, so that we might one day feel adequate at
some imaginary point in a future which never arrives.

If we really commit to uprooting the untruth that's been planted in us,
we can even discover that we've been deceiving ourselves about the way
we experience reality. That the perception of oneself as a finite
character who is separate from the world is based on false assumptions
about the way experience is happening, unhelpful mental habits born of
incorrect premises, and overlooked aspects of our own consciousness.
That we've been making ourselves miserable with false beliefs about who
and what we are.

This civilization is the set of the Truman Show, and we are all Truman.

But because we are all Truman, we can only walk off the set if we walk
off together. There is no option to leave as an individual, because even
if you know it's all lies, you're still stuck in a world full of humans
whose behavior is driven by lies.

Awakening to reality as an individual can for this reason sometimes be
more uncomfortable than remaining asleep in the dream, because you're
like Truman after he realizes it's all a sham, but before he escapes. At
times you're just stuck there, freaking out at the actor who's playing
your mother while she tries in vain to cut to a commercial break. It can
be distressing for you, and it can be distressing for the people around
you who aren't yet on the same page.

The only way we're getting off the set of the Truman Show is if we can
all succeed in waking each other up from the lies which built it. Until
then we'll be stuck in a world of poverty, war, exploitation,
degradation, ecocide, and suffering. It's not until enough of us have
unplugged our minds from the matrix of lies that we'll be able to use
our strength of numbers to force real change.

Only then will we be able to escape.

Only then will we be able to walk off the set.

Only then will we be able to turn to the audience and say, "In case I
don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"

And then turn around, and walk out the door, and begin our adventure
into reality.
