What if, from the moment one becomes conscious, one is continually fed a particular ideology? Is that not why someone born in modern Iran would automatically be a Shia Muslim? Not because they made an informed decision, but because of the environment in which they’re born? The same can be suggested for the Christian, the Buddhist, or the Hindu.
Let’s take another step. What was the cause of the American War Between the States? Slavery? Really? Who is the most evil man to ever exist on planet earth? That one’s easy. Hitler. Not Mao or Stalin who murdered many thousands more innocent people than Hitler was accused of. Why? Why slavery, why Hitler?
The answer, in my view, is the same in all these questions. It’s what we are constantly fed. It is the narrative those in power want us to believe. However, for the free thinker, the person who can set all their preconceived notions, beliefs and prejudices on the shelf, and examine things calmly, logically, and reasonably, that one may come to different, even though uncomfortable, conclusions.
William Gayley Simpson wrote the book, Which Way Western Man in 1978 to promote his conviction that the West is being controlled by a foreign entity that is conspiring to destroy Western civilization. Consider; how many world leaders down to the level of governors, members of parliaments, and mayors make pilgrimage to a particular wall to don a tiny hat and bend the knee to that entity. How many American Congressmen and Senators are dual citizens and controlled by this entity? Who controls American presidents and dictates American foreign policy? One would be blind not to notice just who that foreign entity is.
It seems that many, if not most, people are finally beginning to notice. So, should one desire to take an additional step away from the programming we have all received from birth, should one be willing to set aside their beliefs and prejudices and review, with an open mind, an alternative to the narratives we’ve all been fed, I offer the following as a thought experiment, just for consideration. One’s first knee-jerk reaction will likely be disgust. That’s what our rulers want. However, if one reads Fundamentals, ask if many, even most, of our current problems would not be erased by such a system.
Caveat: By posting this, I do not claim that the German experiment did not result in some Germans committing war crimes, but for the ‘Allies,’ there was Dresden, Hamburg, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, and each was ‘justified’ to suit the narrative we all now believe. There are two sides to every story, but enough crimes to go around. Such is war.
I invite – challenge – you to read, consider, and then answer for yourself the questions posed above.
