Silent Tyrants of the 21st Century: Big Food and Big Pharm

 By CE Marshall

  The manipulation of truth for the needs of the few to the detriment of us all.  

               

                               Big Food is as Conniving as Big Pharm 

     The more I live the more I see the lies.  I guess that's part of maturing, or of "getting old" as it were.  Many times in life I've watched and believed things because people of authority said them.  When people in authority "say" things we all need to be more scrutinizing of why they say them and "if" what they say is true or simply self serving.  Over the last century the use of positions of power and money have brought about topics that are decided according to who the topic behooves and what is the better direction for the public to "think" of these things.  The more we think the way the silent tyrants want us to think then the better for them, of course.  The truth is the least important issue in their mind.  But when you avoid the truth and send all topics in their universe to orbit around their "way of thinking" then we're all living in a lie of their making.  Let me mention that that does not make us all innocent.  We are told the lie but we allow ourselves to be lied to as well.  We're guilty of not asking questions.  We're guilty of being lazy.  What does the truth matter ?  Without truth then we're at the mercy of a warped truth that prevents real problems from being solved.  You can't solve a problem if no problem is evident.   But it's still a problem, it's just a silent problem ignored by the silent tyrants because it's better for them that it never be solved.  

     Let me give an example.  The food industry.  The Food Pyramid I have come to find out has been manipulated and twisted since its conception.   Big Food companies have decided for us what is good for us and therefor for years  carbohydrates got the "base" of the pyramid thus encouraging over consumption of grains and other white carbohydrates.  This encouraged the American people to eat more carbs and consequently they have gotten fatter and fatter to the point that today obesity is the rule not the exception. I know this is an oversimplification, but you understand my point, I hope.   The pyramid has nothing to do with eating healthier.  It's a conduit for the big and powerful to take advantage of the weak and naive.  It has absolutely nothing to do with what is actually  better for you.   These companies have the most money and stand to make a lot more money.  This is much like the pharmaceuticals deciding for medical colleges and students how they should view natural remedies or the importance of healthy eating and exercise.  They encourage no study of such things at all !  They teach the young future Doctors to trust the chemicals of Big Pharm.  "Trust the science".  This is why your Doctor no longer has advice for you when you go see him.  He has a pill for you.   I read an appalling account recently regarding some of America's most "respected" organizations that do "research" and come to conclusions that behoove the ones that supported the research. Often they literally are sponsored by the company or group that would benefit the most with the conclusions found in the "research".  If there's money to be made then question the answers you receive and use your own common sense.  If "research" is being done to make a point or to convince a group of people of something, then we all need to ask  "Who sponsored the research?"

The "Ruling Elite" are "Shocked" by the Situation They Created.

Mad King George Attempts to Have Dangerous Trump Eliminated 

          A young man attempted to kill President Trump this past week.  The young man killed an attendee at a "Trump for President" rally in Pennsylvania -  two were seriously wounded.   I wish I could say I'm shocked and confused at how such a thing could happen.  I am not.  This country is in the middle of a cold civil war between the left and the right-- Democrats and Republicans.  Each side believes the other to be absolutely evil.  The Democrats run the government and have done so through questionable relations with the mainstream media and most multi-national corporations.  In addition we have an enormous federal bureaucracy that feeds off many billions of dollars of American tax-payer money.  Our  American University system is addicted to government money like crack cocaine.  They all feel that none of us can live without them,  and they all definitely cannot live with a government that is not under their control.  

     The Republicans, while certainly not innocent victims,   have morphed into the foundation of the common American  seeking a fair debate and influence in their government now run by bureaucrats and crony corporate capitalism.  Donald Trump has steered the Republican party to this position.   Having been one of the "ruling elite" himself,  Trump understands who the ruling elites are and how they think.  He doesn't like them and they don't like him.   Because of this, conservative Americans believe he can  make some sort of difference in reigning in the "ruling elite" - what I call "Mad King George" and a federal government that has gotten way out of control.   

     Our federal government is now in the same shoes as those of previous tyrannical regimes in history.  I think of them as being similar to a modern day Mad King George III of the United Kingdom that ruled over colonial America.   Like most royals in history, the current ruling elite of the United States believe that they know better than all us little children and we need to stop feeling we have some sort of "real" say in our government- the winners and losers are decided by the media and the big money behind them.  King George believed all he did to control the American people was justified because England was their protector and Americans were not nearly sophisticated enough to rule themselves.  In addition, of course, there was quite a bit of  money and power from the growing and prosperous colonies.   In much the same way,  the ruling elite of today don't trust the American people with true power,  but they very much love our money.   They have been chipping away at our money AND our rights for a long time.  On July 13, 2024 it reached a crescendo.   

      After the tragic murder of a rally attendee and wounding of two others, the mainstream media feigns that the are just as "shocked" as the rest of us.  Nothing could be further from the truth.   This is the same media that can barely contain their hatred for Trump and have repeatedly accused him of being evil and an existential threat to Democracy.   In reality he's an existential threat to THEM.  Most major corporations are joined at the hip with the mainstream media and the lobbyists of Washington, DC who make sure the government does their bidding.   Donald Trump is a threat to their network of free money and inside influence on our government.  In their minds, Donald Trump must go.  Did they have something "directly" to do with yesterday ?   I don't know but what's truly awful in my mind, is that I cannot rule that possibility out.    "Mad King George"  knows how to play the people and the  conversation - according to their rule as dictators.  Opposing ideas and thoughts must be squashed.  Resistance is futile.  

     The Media,  multinational corporations,  our massive federal government,  academia addicted to government subsidies and money - they all have blood on their hands today.  The Democratic party as their main government partner- has the most.  They are the heart and soul of Mad King George-  In My Humble Opinion.
