Like it or not all the "main stream media" is controlled by about six different companies. Those companies are made up of people. People, who are ridiculled for having a dissenting opinion. This isn't limited to the mainstream media however. It pours into every part of society because people don't want to be shunned from the group. That's just our nature. So you see this in the government and you see this in the hospitals with the doctors and nurses.
You see it's easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they've been fooled and that's how we keep getting fooled. We're all plugged into digital devices that send a steady stream of information, so much informatin, so fast we can't process it all. All it takes to capture our attention and polarize us on a specific topic, then shuffle the topics, and present new one's. Keeping us engaged from crisis to crisis.
In addition to having too much information, too fast, we're manipulated by the information. Create names for things we didn't know were a thing and then tell us how to identify them, and then polarize us by making us choose a side about those things. For example wearing masks, social distancing, when to reopen economies.
Manipulate the numbers, invert them to make them look terrifying, then when that doesn't work flat out lie, why not? the fear has set in. Show chart after chart with ever climbing totals of the sick, the hospitalized, and the dead.
If the shell game is played fast enough we'll never remember what we were supposed to be watching for in the first place. Remember the lockdown was to make sure we don't overwhelm the hospitals and it was only until we flatten the curve. Now the curve's flattened and the message is we need to erraticated the disease by staying sheltered. There will be a next thing, and a thing after that too. Wake up. This is psychological warfare and we're all being brainwashed. Break the system and be set free.
