Half Truths Control Perspectives Which Are Most Important

To make a decision without knowledge is a careless gamble. In order to make good decisions we need adequate knowledge. And although nobody knows everything, the people in charge typically have a broader picture of what is going on because that is necessary to do their job. When the people in charge control what knowledge everyone has for the most part they can control the masses almost completely.

Let's try an experiment in our minds to see how knowledge effects our perspective and how in turn that would effect our actions....

I'm going to use a movie that a lot of people have seen to demonstrate this.

...................................................

In the movie called "The Punisher", if you knew nothing of the story and didn't hear or see anything that talked about what happened to the main character your reaction towards him would be completely the opposite. At least for most people and that is all that matters when controlling the masses.

For people not familiar with the story from the movie, the main character was spending time with his entire family including his parents, loving wife, and his son who's about 8 to 10 years old. During their family celebration his entire family gets brutally murdered. They shot him in the chest and threw him in the ocean thinking he's dead but he wasn't.

The rest of the movie is him getting revenge in some very elaborate ways. And if you were not aware of what they did to his whole family you would think he was some sort of evil sadistic serial killer that likes to torture in the worst ways before the kill.

...................................................

So you can imagine how the story would make you feel dramatically different just by leaving parts of the truth out. Now imagine if the story teller didn't just leave certain parts out, but also added things that weren't true and twisted the truth on some other things.

Knowledge directly effects our emotions and we need knowledge to make very important decisions that not only effect us, but others too. Propaganda is a shockingly powerful tool.

I learned some things today that completely changed my whole perspective about what is going on in the war in Ukraine. But this knowledge cannot be found in any mainstream media anywhere in The United States. Not even Fox news which most people believe usually gives the the other side of the story.

Even the independent news channels on Youtube. But in their case it's not their fault because Youtube deletes videos and even whole accounts just for mentioning certain facts because they know that those facts are fundamental to the whole situation and would change what the people think about what is REALLY going on and more importantly, how it all started.

If you are curious about what these fundamental facts are there are a few places to find this information and or you can ask me and I will point you in the right direction.

I'm not saying that Putin is just like 'The Punisher'. Their story is a completely different one too. But before you allow hate to grow in your heart you should do research to get information that is forbidden to share on Youtube and American mainstream medias.

The bottom line for me is that there is almost always more to the story than the story itself, and in order to get a full perspective we have to have the willingness and the ability to step back and see the forest for the trees.

I mention about bills all the time that sometimes you don't have to accept that one side is against the PREMISE of the bill, but certain parts IN the bill.

Interesting post.
