Whole Foods deceives consumers into unknowingly buying GMOs while financially supporting a GMO supply chain that ultimately enriches Monsanto, charges an explosive new undercover sting video released by Organic Spies. (Link below.)
The video features secret camera footage from a dozen Whole Foods stores in the Los Angeles area, capturing Whole Foods employees lying on camera about the genetically engineered ingredients found in products sold at Whole Foods.
"It's against our policy to carry anything that's grown with GMOs in it," says one employee, caught on camera.
When asked whether Whole Foods products contain GMOs, another employee says, "Absolutely not. Because the bottom line for all Whole Foods is no preservatives, no additives, no added growth hormones, no GMOs, absolutely, that's for everything."
This statement is, of course, patently absurd. Even I've noticed all kinds of additives and preservatives in products sold at Whole Foods. And GMOs are found throughout the store, including in many so-called "natural" products that are actually made with GM corn. In fact, Natural News just revealed a list of the top 10 breakfast cereals most likely to contain GMOs... and some of them are sold at Whole Foods.
"Whole Foods has mastered the art of bait and switch"
According to the undercover video, Whole Foods has "mastered the art of bait and switch" by advertising their foods as organic and non-GMO, then inundating customers with foods labeled "natural" which actually contain genetically engineered ingredients and pesticide residues.
"Genetically engineered foods are everywhere..." says the video. "In the salad bar, packaged foods, meats and dairy products. Even the Whole Foods branded vitamin line may contain GMOs."
The video openly accuses Whole Foods of "deceptive marketing" and says the company knowingly "trains employees to tell customers that they do not sell any GMO food."
Whole Foods executives "too busy" to talk with Natural News
Whole Foods has not offered any rebuttal of this to NaturalNews. I personally offered to interview Whole Foods executives at their headquarters in Austin, Texas, earlier this year, but was told by the Whole Foods public relations team that their executives were "too busy" to meet with the editor of a website that ONLY reaches as many as five million readers a month!
Too busy doing what, you ask? Cashing checks, of course! Whole Foods CEOs are multi-millionaires and yet they have not individually nor as a company done anything meaningful to support Proposition 37, the all-important GMO labeling bill in California.
"We estimate Whole Foods has $2 - $3 billion a year in sales of GMO products," says the Organic Spies video. It goes on to describe how Whole Foods financially supports Monsanto through the "GMO sourcing supply chain."
The video specifically calls out Whole Foods executives Jack Mackey, Walter Robb and Margaret Wittenberg for essentially selling out their own customers.
The full video is embedded at the bottom of this article.
Whole Foods = SELLOUT to Monsanto?
As this video shows, there is no question that Whole Foods is, through its product sales, financially supporting Monsanto, DuPont and the GMO (biotech) industry.
It's also clear that many Whole Foods employees are totally clueless about the truth that Whole Foods carries GMO products in its stores.
Personally, I still hold out hope for Whole Foods, and I want them to do the right thing because they're still far better than most conventional grocery stores. I agree with the video when it says Whole Foods needs to immediately donate $10 million to Proposition 37 and get fully behind GMO labeling.
I say this on the record, in public view, that any natural products organization which does NOT support Proposition 37 is a traitor to consumers and will be exposed as such by the independent online media. Natural News readers have made it crystal clear to us that they strongly advocate our continued exposing of GMO brands such as Larabar, Kashi and Silk. They want us to tell the truth about GMOs, and they want us to organize grassroots support for action items such as boycotts and petitions.
And to those companies who keep hiding GMOs in their products, I ask you this simple question: Why continue to punish yourselves? You know this issue isn't going away, right? The sooner you come out and DENOUNCE GMOs, the sooner you save your brand and restore customer trust. But the longer you play this deceptive game of hiding GMOs in your foods, the more dishonest, deceptive and downright unethical you appear to everyone. The tipping point on GMOs is here. You either get with the non-GMO program, or you risk being exposed by Natural News and other independent bloggers and websites. You cannot hide your GMOs. The truth is coming out. Wake up and smell the rooibos tea, okay?
NaturalNews pledges massive, ongoing support for Proposition 37
Here at NaturalNews, we are doing everything we can think of to help support Proposition 37 and GMO labeling through videos, articles, interviews, links, music videos, Facebook, Twitter and more. We're also raising money through our upcoming NaturalNews Store which opens next week, where a portion of every sale will be donated to help fund GMO labeling initiatives (including Proposition 37). That's opening next week at www.ShopNaturalNews.com
I am just astonished that the CEOs of Whole Foods are right now betraying the very customers they claim to serve! Call it "corporate suicide," if you will, but if Whole Foods doesn't get behind Prop 37 real soon now, it's going to be facing a massive backlash of anger and very likely a national boycott from informed consumers.
Whole Foods has backpedaled on the GMO issue for far too long, knowingly selling a huge array of products made with Monsanto's genetically engineered corn while pushing a public image that tricks many people -- including their own employees -- into thinking that Whole Foods is GMO-free. This is unethical, dishonest and flatly unacceptable in an industry where integrity is supposed to matter.
This deception must end. Whole Foods must either come clean and support GMO labeling or face an eternal backlash from angry, betrayed customers who are waking up to this issue by the hour, it seems. When voting day arrives in early November, if Whole Foods hasn't donated some serious cash in support of Proposition 37, I predict there will be an impassioned grassroots call for a nationwide boycott against all Whole Foods stores (as well as any brand that opposed Prop 37).
"Tell the truth," a public relations innovator once declared. "Because sooner or later people will find out on their own." And when they do, there's hell to pay for it. When the truth about GMOs and cancer tumors really becomes public knowledge, how exactly do you think consumers are going to react when they realize they been POISONED by these GMO retailers?
Whole Foods is in bed with Monsanto
The truth right now is that Whole Foods sells all sorts of products made with Monsanto's GM corn... and yet they refuse to label those items as "containing genetically engineered ingredients."
The other shocking truth is that Whole Foods and Monsanto are both on the same side of Proposition 37.
Personally, I find Whole Foods management to reflect a culture of extreme arrogance and dissociation from the values of its customers and employees. With new research now showing rats suffering horrifying cancer tumors after eating a lifetime of GM corn, Whole Foods not only keeps selling the same exact corn to its human customers, but the company even refuses to label it!
Perhaps Whole Foods and Monsanto should enter a strategic partnership to reposition GMOs as "health foods" under the new company name, "WholeSanto."
The
old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about
getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry
says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house,
then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the
list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard which
costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism,
are other "gifts." Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you.
Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be
spiritual.
Unfortunately the simple life is going the way of the buffalo. Soon it will not be even an option. One of the things that make it so, is the educational system which teaches through readings and through pictures to the youth around the world from a young age, what success means. It is the conditioning of the masses to make them strive for more and more and more to feed the coffers of the fat cats while they fight to get one step ahead of the Jones's.
Around the world you see the deterioration of the simple life to a more materialistic way of living. Then laws are enforced to enslave the masses further. These laws have the underlying element of fear and play on the insecurities of the masses, who have been relegated to survival and see material successes as the opposite of this pattern. What the masses miss is that the controllers will always need them to stay in that position of scraping to survive, fighting to have more, and being in debt till their dying day. The Power Control Force has no intention of sharing the "dream of the have's".
If everyone had what they needed to subsist, there would be no need for wars and other devastations of the planet to keep the Power Control Force in power. So it becomes a constant maze of work, work, work, grasping, like crabs in a barrel seeking for the illusion of success in the material world.
Little by little it becomes harder and harder to live a simple life as others take more than they need leaving scraps for the rest. In fact, you have to fight to remain simplistic in your existence, for you will be cajoled and ridiculed and isolated if you live simply. The conditioned/programmed fears of others will permeate into your reality and before long you begin to doubt yourself and your own intentions.
After a while, being close to nature is no longer important. Chopping away at nature means nothing. Spoiling the air we breathe or the water we drink means nothing. Mass killing of animals for food means nothing. Till finally, we turn on each other.
We have destroyed the one home we all share because we have bought into the illusion of what it means to be successful and are so far removed from simplicity that we would rankle in fear if our things, our stuff, our "way of life" was downsized.
We are a pitiful lot of controlled robots who keep the Power Control Force full. We are so blind that we do not realize that they flaunt their so-called success and have no intention of sharing it fairly, if at all.
Downsizing and letting go of stuff is one of the best ways to strike back! One of the best ways to regain our sovereignty and one of the best ways to save our planet and become whole again. We are all complicit, but we can all change this, one step at a time, one day at a time, one lifetime at a time.
On September 11, 2001, a neighbor telephoned and said, “turn on the TV.” I assumed that a hurricane, possibly a bad one from the sound of the neighbor‟s voice, was headed our way, and turned on the TV to determine whether we needed to shutter the house and leave.
What I saw was black smoke from upper floors of one of the World Trade Center towers. It didn‟t seem to be much of a fire, and the reports were that the fire was under control. While I was trying to figure out why every TV network had its main news anchor covering an office fire, TV cameras showed an airplane hitting the other tower. It was then that I learned that both towers had been hit by airliners.
Cameras showed people standing at the hole in the side of the tower looking out. This didn‟t surprise me. The airliner was minute compared to the massive building. But what was going on? Two accidents, one on top of the other?
The towers—the three-fourths or four-fifths of the buildings beneath the plane strikes–were standing, apparently largely undamaged. There were no signs of fire except in the vicinity of where the airliners had hit. Suddenly, one of the towers blew up, disintegrated, and disappeared in fine dust. Before one could make any sense of this, the same thing happened to the second tower, and it too disappeared into fine dust.
The TV news anchors compared the disintegration of the towers to controlled demolition. There were numerous reports of explosions throughout the towers from the base or sub-basements to the top. (Once the government put out the story of terrorist attack, references to controlled demolition and explosions disappeared from the print and TV media.) This made sense to me. Someone had blown up the buildings. It was completely obvious that the towers had not fallen down from asymmetrical structural damage. They had blown up.
The images of the airliners hitting the towers and the towers blowing up were replayed time and again. Airliners hit the top portions of the towers, and not long afterward the towers blew up. I turned off the TV wondering how it was that cameras had been ready to catch such an unusual phenomenon as an airplane flying into a skyscraper.
I don’t remember the time line, but it wasn‟t long before the story was in place that Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda gang had attacked the US. A passport had been found in the rubble. Another airliner had flown into the Pentagon, and a fourth airliner had crashed or been shot down. Four airliners had been hijacked, meaning airport security had failed four times on the same morning. Terrorists had successfully assaulted America.
When I heard these reports, I wondered. How could a tiny undamaged passport be found in the rubble of two skyscrapers, each more than 100 stories tall, when bodies, office furniture and computers could not be found? How could airport security fail so totally that four airliners could be hijacked within the same hour? How could authorities know so conclusively and almost immediately the names of the perpetrators who pulled off such a successful attack on the world‟s only superpower, when the authorities had no idea that such an attack was planned or even possible?
These questions disturbed me, because as a former member of the congressional staff and as a presidential appointee to high office, I had high level security clearances. In addition to my duties as Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, I had FEMA responsibilities in the event of nuclear attack. There was a mountain hideaway to which I was supposed to report in the event of a nuclear attack and from which I was supposed to take over the US government in the event no higher official survived the attack.
The more the story of 9/11 was presented in the media, the more wondrous it became. It is not credible that not only the CIA and FBI failed to detect the plot, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, which spies on everyone on the planet, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, Israel‟s Mossad, and the intelligence agencies of Washington‟s NATO allies. There are simply too many watchmen and too much infiltration of terrorist groups for such a complex attack to be prepared undetected and carried out undeterred.
Washington‟s explanation of the attack implied a security failure too massive to be credible. Such a catastrophic failure of national security would mean that the US and Western Europe were never safe for one second during the Cold War, that the Soviet Union could have destroyed the entire West in one undetected fell swoop.
As a person whose colleagues at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington were former secretaries of state, former national security advisors, former CIA directors, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I was troubled by the story that a collection of individuals unsupported by a competent intelligence service had pulled off the events of 9/11.
As a person with high level government service, I knew that any such successful operation as 9/11 would have resulted in immediate demands from the White House, Congress, and the media for accountability. There would have been an investigation of how every aspect of US security could totally fail simultaneously in one morning. Such a catastrophic and embarrassing failure of the national security state would not be left unexamined.
NORAD failed. The US Air Force could not get jet fighters in the air. Air Traffic Control lost sight of the hijacked airliners. Yet, instead of launching an investigation, the White House resisted for one year the demands of the 9/11 families for an investigation. Neither the public, the media, nor Congress seemed to think an investigation was necessary. The focus was on revenge, which the Bush neocon regime said meant invading Afghanistan which was alleged to be sheltering the perpetrator, Osama bin Laden.
Normally, terrorists are proud of their success and announce their responsibility. It is a way to build a movement. Often a number of terrorist groups will compete in claiming credit for a successful operation. But Osama bin Laden in the last video that is certified by independent experts said that he had no responsibility for 9/11, that he had nothing against the American people, that his opposition was limited to the US government‟s colonial policies and control over Muslim governments.
It makes no sense that the “mastermind” of the most humiliating blow in world history ever to have been delivered against a superpower would not claim credit for his accomplishment. By September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden knew that he was deathly ill. According to news reports he underwent kidney dialysis the following month. The most reliable reports that we have are that he died in December 2001. It is simply not credible that bin Laden denied responsibility because he feared Washington.
But Osama bin Laden was too useful a bogeyman, and Washington and the presstitute media kept him alive for another decade until Obama needed to kill the dead man in order to boost his sinking standings in the polls so that Democrats would not back a challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Numerous bin Laden videos, every one pronounced a fake by experts, were released whenever it was convenient for Washington. No one in the Western media or in the US Congress or European or UK parliaments was sufficiently intelligent to recognize that a bin Laden video always showed up on cue when Washington needed it. “Why would the „mastermind‟ be so accommodating for Washington?” was the question that went through my mind every time one of the fake videos was released.
The 9/11 “investigation” that finally took place was a political one run from the White House. One member of the commission resigned, declaring the investigation to be a farce, and both co-chairman and the legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission distanced themselves from their report with statements that the 9/11 Commission was “set up to fail,” that resources were withheld from the commission, that representatives of the US military lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for criminal prosecution. One would think that these revelations would cause a sensation, but the news media, Congress, the White House, and the public were silent.
All of this bothered me a great deal. The US had invaded two Muslim countries based on unsubstantiated allegations linking the two countries to 9/11, which itself remained uninvestigated. The neoconservatives who staffed the George W. Bush regime were advocating more invasions of more Muslim countries. Paul O‟Neill, President Bush‟s first Treasury Secretary, stated publicly that the Bush regime was planning to invade Iraq prior to 9/11. O‟Neill said that no one at a National Security Council meeting even asked the question, why invade Iraq? “It was all about finding a way to do it.”
The leaked top secret Downing Street Memo written by the head of British intelligence (MI6) confirms Paul O‟Neill‟s testimony. The memo, known as the “smoking gun memo” whose authenticity has been confirmed, states that “President George W. Bush wants to remove Saddam Hussein, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” In other words, the US invasion of Iraq was based on nothing but a made up lie.
As an engineering student I had witnessed a controlled demolition. When films of the collapse of WTC building 7 emerged, it was obvious that building 7 had been brought down by controlled demolition. When physics instructor David Chandler measured the descent of the building and established that it took place at free fall acceleration, the case was closed. Buildings cannot enter free fall unless controlled demolition has removed all resistance to the collapsing floors.
If airliners brought down two skyscrapers, why was controlled demolition used to bring down a third building?
I assumed that structural architects, structural engineers, and physicists would blow the whistle on the obviously false story. If I could see that something was amiss, certainly more highly trained people would.
The first physicist to make an effective and compelling argument was Steven Jones at BYU. Jones said that explosives brought down the twin towers. He made a good case. For his efforts, he was pressured to resign his tenured position. I wondered whether the federal government had threatened BYU‟s research grants or whether patriotic trustees and alumni were the driving force behind Jones‟ expulsion. Regardless, the message was clear to other university based experts: “Shut up or we‟ll get you.”
Steven Jones was vindicated when chemist Niels Harrit of the University of Copenhagen In Denmark reported unequivocally that the scientific team in which he participated found nano-thermite in the residue of the twin towers. This sensational finding was not mentioned in the US print and TV media to my knowledge.
Several years after 9/11 architect Richard Gage formed Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth, an organization that has grown to include 1,700 experts. The plans of the towers have been studied. They were formidable structures. They were constructed to withstand airliner hits and fires. There is no credible explanation of their failure except intentional demolition.
I also found disturbing the gullibility of the public, media, and Congress in the unquestioning acceptance of the official stories of the shoe-bomber, shampoo and bottled water bomber, and underwear bomber plots to blow up airliners in transit. These schemes are farcical. How can we believe that al Qaeda, capable of pulling off the most fantastic terrorist attack in history and capable of devising improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that kill and maim US troops and destroy US military vehicles would rely on something that had to be lighted with a match?
The shoe and underwear bombers would simply have pushed a button on their cell phones or laptops, and the liquid bomb would not have required extended time in a lavatory to be mixed (all to no effect).
None of this makes any sense. Moreover, experts disputed many of the government‟s claims, which were never backed by anything but the government‟s story line. There is no independent evidence that anything was involved other than firecracker powders.
The case of the underwear bomber is especially difficult to accept. According to witnesses, the underwear bomber was not allowed on the airliner, because he had no passport. So an official appears who walks him onto the airliner bound for Detroit on Christmas day. What kind of official has the authority to override established rules, and what did the official think would happen to the passenger when he presented himself to US Customs without a passport? Any official with the power to override standard operating practices would know that it was pointless to send a passenger to a country where his entry would be rejected.
The circumstantial evidence is that these were orchestrated events designed to keep fear alive, to create new intrusive powers for a new over-arching federal policy agency, to accustom US citizens to intrusive searches and a police force to conducting them, and to sell expensive porno-scanners and now more advanced devices to the Transportation Safety Administration. Apparently, this expensive collection of high-tech gadgetry is insufficient to protect us from terrorists, and in August 2012 the Department of Homeland Security put in an order for 750 million rounds of ammunition, enough to shoot every person in the US 2.5 times.
Naive and gullible Americans claim that if some part of the US government had been involved in 9/11, “someone would have talked by now.” A comforting thought, perhaps, but nothing more. Consider, for example, the cover-up by the US government of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed or wounded most of the crew but failed to sink the ship. As the survivors have testified, they were ordered in a threatening way not to speak about the event. It was twelve years later before one of the USS Liberty‟s officers, James Ennes, told the story of the attack in his book, Assault on the Liberty. I continue to wonder how the professionals at the National Institute of Standards and Technology feel about being maneuvered by the federal government into the unscientific position NIST took concerning the destruction of the WTC towers.
What will be the outcome of the doubts about the official story raised by experts? I worry that most Americans are too mentally and emotionally weak to be able to come to grips with the truth. They are far more comfortable with the story that enemies attacked America successfully despite the massive national security state in place. The American public has proved itself to be so cowardly that it willingly, without a peep, sacrificed its civil liberty and the protections of law guaranteed by the Constitution in order to be “safe.”
Congress is not about to expose itself for having squandered trillions of dollars on pointless wars based on an orchestrated “new Pearl Harbor.” When the neoconservatives said that a “new Pearl Harbor” was a requirement for their wars for American/Israeli hegemony, they set the stage for the 21st century wars that Washington has launched. If Syria falls, there is only Iran, and then Washington stands in direct confrontation with Russia and China.
Unless Russia and China can be overthrown with “color revolutions,” these two nuclear powers are unlikely to submit to Washington‟s hegemony. The world as we know it might be drawing to a close.
If enough Americans or even other peoples in the world had the intelligence to realize that massive steel structures do not disintegrate into fine dust because a flimsy airliner hits them and limited short-lived fires burn on a few floors, Washington would be faced with the suspicion it deserves.
If 9/11 was actually the result of the failure of the national security state to deter an attack, the government‟s refusal to conduct a real investigation is an even greater failure. It has fallen to concerned and qualified individuals to perform the investigative role abandoned by government. The presentations at the Toronto Hearings, along with the evaluations of the Panel, are now available, as is the documentary film, “Explosive Evidence–Experts Speak Out,” provided by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
The government‟s agents and apologists try to deflect attention from disturbing facts by redefining factual evidence revealed by experts as the product of “a conspiracy culture.” If people despite their brainwashing and lack of scientific education are able to absorb the information made available to them, perhaps both the US Constitution and peace could be restored. Only informed people can restrain Washington and avert the crazed hegemonic US government from destroying the world in war.

"For
some reason or another, today the thought popped into my mind that
President Barak Obama doesn't even want to be re-elected!?!?! Sometimes
you don't know what you're getting into until you are in it; and once
you see things (and people) for what they really are, or what you
thought could be, you say to yourself, "If I knew then what I know now,
there is no way I would have done this." Something tells me that this is
where Obama is at this point in time." Ray Haggins Tuesday, September 4 at 1:02am
I sure hope that the folks who are pushing for his re-election are not disappointed. I hope that the folks who push him back into the White house are ready to hold the brother up through the storms he will face, and take a few bullets for h im.
I hope the ones, who push him are willing to push him towards the greater good, let his deterrents know that they got his back for all the so called "good things he wants to do" for Americans and the world.
I hope that folks put their money where their mouth is and stop the "Lions" from eating this man alive. I hope these folks can take the programming out of his brain and remove him from his puppeteers, the banksters and corporations. I hope that these folks will stand along with him, against the NWO who want to enslave us all.
I hope that your support is more than a racial thing, and more of a humanity thing. I hope that those who rally behind him will give him support not in cheers but in guidance and direction so that he can come out of the madness that NATO and the EU have sailed him into in terms of Wars in the middle east, and the "staged" economic crisis.
I hope that they haven't just changed the flavor of the kool-aid, but have decided to give real natural wholesome juicy juice. I hope that his true ideals, if they are not the ideals of the banksters who back and pay for him, are bolstered by his supporters to the point where he does not need the banksters, the prison industrial complex, the military industrial complex, the pharmaceutical companies, the oil oligarchy, the drug cartels and the terrorists (AKA CIA).
I hope that in bringing the troops home, that he give them a much better health plan, free housing, education and mental support because they went to war on a dime that turned out to be a lie. I hope that he turns down every penny that comes from the invasions of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan in the form of natural resources, especially water from the Great Man-made River in Libya.
I hope that you all support him away from the catastrophic war with Iran. And I hope that his supporters let him know how important it is to avoid at all cost getting behind world leaders dictators everywhere, and not just in a few choice countries. I hope that with all this rallying that his supporters are prepared to be there down to the wire and stand behind him on every human issue cause assassinating and imprisoning people or dropping drones on them because they have been labeled "enemy combatants, killing innocent women, and children at wedding parties is not humane.
I hope that after his next term in office, if he is victorious, his supporters will carry him on their shoulders and know that it was the work THEY DID that kept him on the path of truth and justice. And sadly, if he fails, I hope that his supporters will still carry him on their shoulders and take him into their homes and start the healing. For I am certain, that Barack Obama, had no idea of what he was getting into. The game of politics is cruel and unyielding in its AGENDA. Too many times this man has been crucified, hands tied behind his back and disrespected all with the adage "it comes with the territory."
Cause if you want to push him back into the White House for any other reason, then he will continue to be ineffective in creating real change, and the slogan "Yes, We Can" is just a bunch of words. The "WE" in that slogan is every single person, making a conscious decision to cease and desist in supporting this criminal capitalistic warmongering racist/sexist government.
This country was founded by the so-called founding fathers group of self interests.
When they wrote those documents,many of them were slave owners and slaughterers of the Indigenous. They did not include blacks, natives or women in the documents and only after their "self-interests" were challenged did they make amendments to the original document. This is called cognitive dissonance.
What folks believe to be true really isn't true at all but they cannot face the fact that they have been duped, so they would rather believe the lie, than face the truth. The trouble is that the lie becomes their reality, a reality that they fight and die for. Maybe it's the psychological condition of many empires over the ages..
Pulling back the covers of history to reveal the truth of what these Empires were really about will cause a great shock, history is re-written to cover up the shock and keep the masses duped and patriotic about a lie. Then the people wake up and fight back against the lie, then the lie is either doctored, or blamed on mus-interpretation or blame on the "terrorists" who chose to fight the system of lies. After a while a "savior" is born whose puppeteer strings are invisible. This person appears to be able to bring all things together, the people resign to the NWO (which ain't new at all) and go back to their jobs on the 9-5 slave ship.
The artists throughout the ages have always remained on the fringe of this process, and typically are the ones who begin the "stir" again. And the cycle continues. In this modern age, even the artists are challenged to see past the maze of lies and disinformation. But some of them are so doped that they lose credibility, even if they are on point. And so the saga continues.
This is a prison planet and you can best believe, there is an extraordinary number of options that have been tried, tested and implemented to keep the prison population in a non-aggressive stupor.
