"Yeah I struggle to grasp on daily basis how your average American doesn’t understand that this guy is an aggressive liar. Practically everything the man says is bullshit yet here we are 8 years later still being duped."

I don't know if they have "magical" secrets, but logically, there is enough there to suggest they have a common enough bond and connection to these societies, many very exclusive for entry, to question the voting system, and the picks.

North America is not the only place on Earth. We can study every nation in the world, we can study every religion in the world, it has never been easier to use the Public Library to see how people rule and manipulate each other. I personally moved to North Africa, Algeria, to study Islam systems of mental manipulation in 2010 for $1,400. I moved to Amman Jordan in March 2011 to study the Syria war outbreak and how religions manipulate people and how media ecology works / Internet memes, for $1,800 (financial dependent included in cost) and lived for 2 years for like $30 a day in Amman... had WiFi and able to work from home just like USA where I've worked from home since 1999.

The field of study is called "Comparative Mythology". It isn't a secret how it works. George Lucas of Star Wars fame even informed his entire audience in 1986, 1987, 1988 - but nobody cares, all they want is dumb-as-fuck memes on the front page of Lemmy, Bluesky, and Reddit - People can quote every line and fact about the props and filming locations from Star Wars films, but nobody can quote anything from the Sarah Lawrence College professor that George Lucas told the audience to listen to in 1986, 1987, 1988.

There are no secrets! How much MORE FAMOUS can you be than White House director Bill Moyers, George Lucas filming???

 

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: We need myths that will identify the individual not with his local group but with the planet. A model for that is the United States. Here were thirteen different little colony nations that decided to act in the mutual interest, without disregarding the individual interests of any one of them.

BILL MOYERS: There is something about that on the Great Seal of the United States.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: That's what the Great Seal is all about. I carry a copy of the Great Seal in my pocket in the form of a dollar bill. Here is the statement of the ideals that brought about the formation of the United States. Look at this dollar bill. Now here is the Great Seal of the United States. Look at the pyramid on the left. A pyramid has four sides. These are the four points of the compass. There is somebody at this point, there's somebody at that point, and there's somebody at this point. When you're down on the lower levels of this pyramid, you will be either on one side or on the other. But when you get up to the top, the points all come together, and there the eye of God opens.

BILL MOYERS: And to them it was the god of reason [non-instrumental reason thinking in the human brain/mind].

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Yes. This is the first nation in the world that was ever established on the basis of reason instead of simply warfare. These were eighteenth-century deists, these gentlemen. Over here we read, "In God We Trust." But that is not the god of the Bible. These men did not believe in a Fall. They did not think the mind of man was cut off from God. The mind of man, cleansed of secondary and merely temporal concerns, beholds with the radiance of a cleansed mirror a reflection of the rational mind of God. Reason puts you in touch with God. Consequently, for these men, there is no special revelation anywhere, and none is needed, because the mind of man cleared of its fallibilities is sufficiently capable of the knowledge of God. All people in the world are thus capable because all people in the world are capable of reason.

All men are capable of reason. That is the fundamental principle of democracy. Because everybody's mind is capable of true knowledge, you don't have to have a special authority, or a special revelation telling you that this is the way things should be.

BILL MOYERS: And yet these symbols come from mythology.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Yes, but they come from a certain quality of mythology. It's not the mythology of a special revelation. The Hindus, for example, don't believe in special revelation. They speak of a state in which the ears have opened to the song of the universe. Here the eye has opened to the radiance of the mind of God. And that's a fundamental deist idea. Once you reject the idea of the Fall in the Garden, man is not cut off from his source.

 

Again, more on www.GreatSealUSA.com website - free, no advertising, right out of a 1988 book you can get at a used book store (I got mine at "HALF PRICE BOOKS" in Texas) for $7.

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance." ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985. [email protected]
