The essential weakness of the majority is that they ignore the deeds and yet still allow themselves to be misled by the rhetoric of those they KNOW from endless experiences to be expert and professional LIARS.
Had they the ability to IGNORE the words of their political leaders and concentrate upon the deeds and their after-effects only, their wisdom and understanding would be greatly enhanced.
The events of September 11th and the invasions of Afghanistan and oil-rich Iraq are three superb examples.
There was but one group of political and financial beneficiaries of the September 11th atrocity - which, in turn, justified the invasions that followed.
Little wonder that, unlike all other serious disasters in modern history, every Presidential obstacle has been placed in the way of a thorough public investigation.
