Misinformation is not a phenomenon of our times; it has been with humanity for thousands of years. Our generation is the best positioned to sort out truth from falsehood, and reality from fiction. The future of a nation always depends on whose agenda people embrace as truth and reality; the question is how do we know if it is truth and reality? Finding the difference is the responsibility of each one of us.
Generation after generation, “We the People” elect into office, by majority vote, those whom they want as “Public Servants”. Read every word of the Preamble of the Constitution carefully and then ask the question: Who got us into this mess?
And off we go! The 2016 Republican Convention and Democrat Convention are behind us, and now we are moving on to the presidential election like no other in the history of this nation. By this I don’t mean that past conventions have been easy flowing without mudslinging, or weren’t as important. As a matter of fact, from the very first presidential election up until today we have to come to the conclusion that all conventions and elections have lasting consequences.
Every election cycle is a reminder of the profound divisions in this nation and the polarization that oppose social worldviews cause. People elect individuals whom they prefer to govern the affairs of society at the city, county, state, and federal levels of government. The winners feel empowered and have a sense of command, regardless if they won only by a small margin.
More and more people are asking, what is wrong with the world? Where is America headed with so much lawlessness and crime? Why is safety eroding? These undeniable truths and facts are all around us; the social order is collapsing and there’s no denying it, there are more questions with no clear answers in sight.
FBI Director James Comey made it clear to the nation that even though the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails confirmed that she lied repeatedly, he decided not to recommend criminal charges. The message is that there are two sets of laws, one for the elite who are politically connected and the other for the rest of the people. In other words, don’t expect the rule of law to apply equally because to the elite justice is not blind, and hasn’t been for a long time. Millions of Americans feel frustrated and powerless with the political establishment, especially with incidents like the slaughter of white police officers in Dallas.
The America of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries is not the America of the original intent, which led us to the Declaration of Independence. More and more this nation has become what other empires of the past and great nations became by building upon destructive ideas that corrupt the very nature of humanity.
The New York Post’s front page of June 25 describes the ripple effect of Britain’s decision to leave the EU: “Around the world; voices cry out: POWER TO THE PEOPLE.”
A massacre anywhere in the world, and throughout history, reminds us of the evil in human nature, period. The ideological or mental reasons may vary, but the result is the same. The world has also suffered mass murder by the elimination of undesired segments of society; this is known as social engineering.

You have heard it said: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” However, what do we call a person or a society who is constantly being fooled with no end in sight? What does that society look like? Is there a way out of a vicious cycle in a culture dominated by falsehood? Do you know the answers? Do you even care? I hope your answer to the last question is an affirmative one.
Dan Gilmore | June 8, 2016 (PatriotPost.us) – The government program that gave Americans loans for higher education made enrollment at U.S. colleges increase 25% from 2002 to 2012. The government’s stated goal was to increase training in America’s work force. It was supposed to improve America’s economic health. That
