question: do you know where your tax dollars are spent? do you really? i’d guess upwards of 90% of your “taxes” are allocated to things that don't even benefit you. like paying for the interest on our national debt. by the way, whats up with that debt? Let’s see....

#diveinordie
1) so yeah, my favorite part is how $229.2 billion (over a quarter of a trillion!) of our federal spending (in 2015) went to INTEREST on our national debt. yes, that means…. NOTHING! not lowering it, not paying any of it off… just interest. you might as well burn it up.
2) but why does “the most powerful country in the world” have to borrow money with interest from a private entity (federal reserve), which is the only reason inflation and debt exists? If that doesn't add up… our gov has “lost” nearly as much as we owe

3) …so that video was from 2013. our total debt was ~15 trillion. hey now that $8.5 trillion that they “lost” would have really gone a long way. i also love how they call most of it “public debt” like we had anything to do with it. we hate the federal reserve and our fake money
4) but don’t let that get you down.. you just need to go to college and get a good job. you’ll just need another loan plus interest. and yes, you have to pay for the privilege to hopefully be chosen to spend the rest of your life working. don't ask questions, okay? .....
5) after all, most of your childhood was spent being trained to sit at a desk 5 days a week doing and learning what you’re told. might as well continue to do that for the rest of your existence. if you're lucky, you'll only need one job!
6) anyway, next up is a house, car, etc... which you will likely need loans for. then there’s property taxes, insurance, utilities... before you know it probably 85% (if you're lucky) of your income is accounted for in the name of taxes, bills, loans, interest on said loans...
7) don't get me wrong, some taxes make sense, but let’s be honest, is anyone thrilled with the ROI from these “taxes” we pay? i'm certainly not. let’s not forget, we also have local/state taxes. here’s a break down of those. any guesses on which states have the highest taxes?
8) mostly just the ones in the worst shape. California? homeless everywhere. NY? people and businesses fleeing in droves. Illinois? parts of Chicago might as well be a third world country. MD? same… see Baltimore. the list goes on....
9) want to buy something? boom. taxed. sell something? there's a tax for that. start a business? LOTS of taxes. have a problem? too bad...

but at least we are all aware of it. we all laugh at the "death and taxes" line we've heard since birth. guess that's just how it is, huh?
10) so are we really free? or just living in a world where we only have the illusion of freedom? it’s pretty hard at this point to deny that those who've been pulling the strings have been robbing us for decades if not centuries... so when do we the people say enough is enough?

it's an odd thing...

the longer you leave off the television, disregard celebrities and influencers, realize the "news" is manufactured... the more you see the unbelievable extent of control it all has over the majority of humanity.

it's quite literally a different reality...
people worship the "news" and tune in daily, but the "news" has the legal right to literally create stories (propaganda) and lie to us about happenings around the world, and yes, even in our own country via the Smith-Mundt act.

here's an overview 👇

people also worship celebrities. celebrities are the world's most powerful influencers. they exist in all types, including politicians, athletes, ultra-wealthy, etc...

it's common to believe what you see on a medium. it's effect on you is intentional.

1) did you know that universal healthcare provided by a government is a delusion of the human mind? it’s surprising to me that most Americans can be so out of touch with basic economic theory. want to kill innocent people? vote for universal healthcare.

why? let's #diveinordie
2) we’ve seen a recent surge in people advocating for “universal healthcare.” what a utopian fantasy which has never worked as advertised. many Americans like to reference Sweden as a perfect example of exemplary healthcare. but it’s been a disaster.

mises.org/library/truth-…
3) before the universal healthcare initiative took over Sweden the country had some of the lowest taxes in the civilized world, with one of the highest standards of living. so, how could the service or health care (via taxpayers) change that on its own?

1) question: do you think the FDA/USDA really has our best interests at heart? do you know how many times they have actually accomplished the exact opposite of promoting and protecting public health?

how? well… let’s dive in.

#diveinordie
2) let’s start out with something everyone has heard of… the food pyramid.

in the early 90s, the USDA told us to mostly eat bread, cereal, grains, pasta, etc.. well, guess what happened? soon followed a rapid surge in obesity and especially diabetes. but why would they do that?
3) well… it was ULTRA profitable. 1 in 5 healthcare dollars is spent caring for people with diabetes. that’s nearly 3.5 billion dollars per year spent on diabetes and prediabetes.

we’re just getting going here.

a lot of people are sad right now, and i'm not trying to downplay a tragedy, but it just seems that there's always predictive programming leading up to tragic events.

that weird tweet, the cartoon helicopter crash, the "tragic death" mr. peanut connection, etc...

what else??
there are so many other instances of this happening.

9/11 was a big one.
the titanic as well.

i recently stumbled upon some information that i found quite interesting...

the rothschilds purchased israel in 1829… but wait, what was israel in 1829? was it just a future plan?

i mean, "history" states that israel was founded and established on May 14, 1948.

hmmm...
well, by 1904 a man named theodore hertzel “predicted” that a “world body” will one day give palestine to the jews. this was in 1904.

hertzel also stated that “he will go down in history as the father of the jewish state”
well, shit...

first foreign trip is to the western wall? officially recognizing jerusalem as the capitol of israel? moving our embassy? #WWG1WGA (world body)?

i'm confused. if the rothschilds purchased israel in 1829, well then............... 🤔

1) Question: Did you know that it's been understood across all nations, and among all people for millennia, that knowledge is power?

Why?!?

Let's dive in. #diveinordie x #redakg4
2) An undeniable truth: Those who have and share knowledge, as well as withhold it, can improve their reputation and influence, thus their power. This power can control the collective perspectives of their supporters and therefore, their wealth. Here's a hint: it's not money.
3) Even before persuasion has any effect on conscience, it is often preceded by suggestion.

Suggestion targets the subconscious, an often undefended weak point in the human psyche; when the subconscious is persuaded to accept, it is then forced to act.
