This Altered Reality is Still No Excuse | Eastern North Carolina Now

What some people think to be true is not real, even in this altered reality.

    Consequently, how does the Fake News succeed?

    This Advocate Media is devoid of any real journalists, even less integrity, and making up stuff to sell to those that don't really pay attention to much is their "stock n' trade".

    Oh, I think I just correctly answered myself: 'They make up stuff to sell to those that don't really pay attention to much'.

    Sadly, I see it every day, and far too often.

    And still, blaming it all on the Fake News, or a long term self-serving education industry is still no excuse for so many Americans having a diminished capacity of cognitive reasoning. For instance, the irony that more Americans have college degrees per capita than at any time in our history, yet, Americans currently are quantifiably less intelligently awake to what is real than any previous generation is troubling; with the symbol of our grandest irony - the "Smart Phone" - just compounding this confounding conundrum of community confusion.

    What is the catalyst that will jar Americans to pay closer attention, and, considerably so, then have the intellectual where-with-all to understand what they see, and interpret a more awakened way forward?

    There are many independent, individual catalysts, but can America wait until, hopefully, enough Americans have their personal timed epiphanies to realize that there are public institutions that deserve no more respect than a mediocre confidence man? These public institutions - like, but not limited to, the dishonest propagandists within the so-called "Free Press", and the self-serving Education Industry - are propped up to sustain but a fortunate few, while they alternatively steal hopes, dreams and spiritual truths from the balance of the rest of us ... if we let them.

    All in the name of their personal profit, while controlling the conventional zeitgeist of the status quo - the platform of who wins and how the non players, but still unwilling participants always lose ... once again, if we allow them to continue.

    What is the answer for those that are honest patriots, and would never sell little pieces of their integrity for personal gain?

    Furthermore, how do we correct this socially accepted inequity, and retain our freedoms by continuing to uphold and revere the United States Constitution?

    It is an awkward conundrum, but a perfectly necessary one to solve if we are to continue as a republic. It is a complicated problem, but, we do have two immediate helpful solutions in order to solve two big pieces of the puzzled problem if we are bold enough to challenge their (the two big pieces) unbridled dishonesty.

    First, we must challenge the dishonesty of the propagandists of the Fake News, and no longer allow these scrupulous jackals to pose as purveyors of the "Free Press". We must also disallow propaganda to go unanswered as if there is a relative truth tucked away in some recess of a stupid cause.

    Second, we must recognize that, while there are fine folks who live to serve our community as educators, there are far too many that are there for monetary, and, or political gain, and these too well compensated hyenas of the Education Industry do far more harm than they could ever do any good; just read today's stories of what is real. This can all be fixed, but only if we are not blind to the problem, and, more importantly, the solution.

    I offer no solutions now, only that there is a death-blow problem, and we must be bound to fix it if we are to sustain this Republic; this Republic that was granted to us as we are tasked to defend it.

    We'll speak of all this again soon.

    More about this insanity, the derangement that has swept this nation among those of us who question little and know much less can be found here. Remember, these sad cases vote too, and if we can help them to become less deranged and a little smarter, less inclined to be swayed by the insipid Social Justice Warriors, we may yet save this Republic.
