Money is what holds together a Social Structure based on lies
There is a concept in political science called
"The
Noble Lie” which states that it is acceptable for members
of the elite to lie to the public as long at it it for the “greater
good” of the social order, “myths
used by political leaders seeking to maintain a cohesive society."
This has been a technique used by the elite from
the time before Plato up to the present. There are many examples, but for
brevity sake I will start from the recent past.
In the US the war between the North and South was
not a “Civil War” but a “War of Secession” and it was fought
for economic reasons. (“The
War of Northern Aggression was about tariffs and northern
economic imperialism. The North was protectionist. The South was free
trade. The North wanted to finance its economic development by
forcing the South to pay higher prices for manufactured goods. The
North passed the Morrill Tariff which more than doubled the tariff
rate to 32.6% and provided for a further hike to 47%. The tariff
diverted the South’s profits on its agricultural exports to the
coffers of Northern industrialists and manufacturers. The tariff was
designed to redirect the South’s expenditures on manufactured goods
from England to the higher cost goods produced in the North.”)
Lincoln did not believe blacks were equal to whites and did not
oppose slavery (Debating
Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln said, “I am not, nor ever
have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes nor of
qualifying them to hold office nor to intermarry with white people;
and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical
difference between the white and black races, which I believe will
forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and
political equality.), yet, the popular myth promotes him as a
defender of human rights and liberator of the slaves.
The myth about WWI blames the German militarism
for the horrors of that conflagration. For a 100 years we've been
told thus and it is now an unquestioned “truth”, yet, a new study
of the facts show the truth to be the exact opposite. “Men who saw
the rapidly developing economic, commercial and industrial power of
Germany as a threat”. (If you are sympathetic to the view that
Germany
was responsible for the war and that Britain and her allies
fought for the noble cause of saving civilization from German
tyranny, we invite you to consider the possibility that you have been
misled. We too were once convinced of Germany’s guilt, but having
studied the war in minute detail for many years are now firmly of the
opinion, and confident we can prove to you, that it was not Germany
to blame, but a secret coterie of immensely wealthy upper-class men
in Britain. Men who saw the rapidly developing economic, commercial
and industrial power of Germany as a threat to their secret plan to
bring the entire civilized world under the control of the British
Empire.)
Our entry (USA) into WWII is also a myth that is
continuously promoted by our social elite. FDR knew it and the
military chain of command did also. (Comprehensive research has
shown not only that Washington
knew in advance of the attack, but that it
deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii
in the hope that the "surprise" attack would catapult the
U.S. into World War II. Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of
Production, stated in 1944: "Japan was provoked into attacking
America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that
America was forced into the war.)
After WWII George Kennan, considered one of the
architects of post war foreign policy, proposed that we should
dispense with any sentimentality and unrealistic goals as “human
rights and democratization”. That the US should only make alliances
that will insure the maintenance of “our” wealth. (From
0:56 to 1:59 “with 50% of the world's wealth but only 6% of
it's population we, can not fail to be the object of envy and
resentment our real task is to devise a pattern of relationships
which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity to do so
we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming, we
should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives such as human
rights the raising of the living standard and democratization we are
going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are
hampered by idealistic slogans the better.” (Sorry, I can only send
you to a segment of my own production since the video has been
removed from YouTube)) Although Kennan was speaking about South East
Asia specifically, subsequent actions from the US government have
shown that the establishment took him at his word, as demonstrated
by the number of covert actions since the war, and alliances
with wholly undemocratic and totalitarian regimes around the world.
This, of course, without being made explicit to the public at large.
To us, we were always fighting for Democracy, Liberty, Human Rights,
and so on and so forth.
This IS the “Noble Lie” in the USA.
(from Dictionary.com)
Noble 7. of an admirably high quality; notably superior; excellent.
Lie 1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
“Noble Lie” has been used very effectively to
compel the population into actions and support of what the elite want
to carry out in the political sphere. However, it wasn't until the
early 20th century that the “Noble Lie” entered into the realm of
commerce becoming the industrial strength manipulator that we have at
present. It has now become routine and accepted as normal to lie in
order to promote a commercial product. It was Edward Bernays, among
others, who promoted the use of new psychological principles
developed by his uncle Sigmund Freud. Bernays wrote: “If we
understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not
possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will
without their knowing it?” (Propaganda
by Edward Bernays, pg. 47) Apparently it is, since we
have all become mindless consumers feeding the coffers of
multi-national corporations.
This practice of lying has now spread to academia
and science where results of experiments depend on who is funding
them (The
New England Journal of Medicine is not alone in featuring
research sponsored in large part by drug companies — it has become
a common practice that reflects the growing role of industry money in
research.)
In my view all these lies revolve around the
acquisition of money by the protagonists. It has nothing to do with
the cohesion of the social order. The lies remain as “insider”
knowledge. It is easy to surmise why the upper echelons of the elite
would want to keep it hidden, but why would the middle rung people
want to remain silent? Again, it is money. These middle rung
individuals are the academics, administrators, scientists, editors,
reporters, officers, etc. who facilitate the maintenance of such
lies, and they risk their salaries, funding and all economic benefits
that come with their position.
A case in point is the very factual and logical
data presented by over 2,000 members of Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, experts on the construction AND
destruction of buildings, and Pilots
for 9-11 Truth, professional experts in the aeronautical
field, which demonstrates the impossibility of the official story of
the event. These and several other similar organizations are
studiously ignored by the mainstream media. This indicates that the
Media is under the control of the elite and they are protecting the
“Noble Lie” so that we can continue supporting whatever unstated
agenda they are pursuing.
The lie is held from disclosure by the money that
binds those who keep it secret.
My question then is, could there be an economic
system designed where truth would be the most highly rewarded
attribute?
The problem with fortresses built on sand is that they will come down as soon as the tide comes in. As for our present social structure, we can see that the tide of truth is rising everywhere, so we know what to expect.
