Reality 101

[NOIRTRASH]

I read lotsa history books.

If you read lotsa history books you get an education in Reality 101. Here are the great truths:

1. The elites are always behind significant events, and have hidden agendas.
2. Media has no clue whats up.
3.Pols have no clue whats up.
4. The President conceals whats up.
5 .Generals and other brainiacs responsible for the event are the last to know whazzup.

So, the politicians have no clue, but when one of them is fortunate to become President, he apparently gets read in to the "facts" which, apparently and regardless of his previous politics or beliefs, compels him to "conceal." So is that the reward for a non-elite like Obama becoming a quasi-member of the "elites"?

Sounds like a fascinating process. Tells us more.

We, as a species, spend so much time trying to elude reality.
