It's not, technically, a "holiday". Let's remember the true meaning of Memorial Day...
Yes, I truly believe the day should be less about hotdogs, beer, sports, and shopping, and more of a reflection/remembrance of those who gave their lives, and more importantly, why they gave their lives, and learning from history and past mistakes.
I have the ultimate respect for those who knowingly risk it all in doing what is right. These days, there is great risk in just telling the truth. Truth is treason in the empire of lies. I have great respect for Edward Snowden, despite the government-controlled corporate media's insane push to demonize him through their propaganda and pervasive mind/thought control over their audience. It has been a very, very long time since American soldiers were used to fight for freedom, or the Constitution they vow to defend, or even the true interests of this country. It's impossible to mention that last line without offending many Americans who will not look at the big picture, who will not study real history, who want to believe a narrative despite all evidence to the contrary (aside from the propaganda). Reminds me of my previous dating life, where I want this cute little girl to be my special angelic snowflake so badly, that I'm blind to all the overt clues which demonstrate she's an unstable monster. Studying real history, there has hardly been a major skirmish since before the American Civil War, in which the underlying root cause wasn't the expansion the global central banking cabal, with the public reason given a cover, usually a lie or false flag. Just a small example: It is now known and admitted that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident was fabricated. Any government apologies for all who died? No, that was so yesterday. You think this laughable "War on Terror" is any different? Even WWII, the industrial/banking power elite (Rockefeller/Bush.. et al) was using American money to help both the Communist and Fascists. The Balfour Declaration clearly demonstrates that the top banking elite (Rothschild) made a deal to trick America into involvement into WWI, if England will give them land in Palestine (which oddly, England didn't own). Modern wars are for corporate expansion/control/consolidation/domination, funded at the root by a toxic corrupt monetary system we are all forced to slave for, and are actually working to undermine the strength of America at every turn. This is NOT the fault of the soldiers themselves, and I respect those who risk for a cause they believe in. But they are being lied to, just like we are all being lied to. The power/banking elite are counting on most of us to take the easy way and just keep believing the lies, because it's easier and less painful in the short-term. I've researched this deeper than you can imagine, and I can tell you, where they are taking us with our willful ignorance and normalcy bias, is a hell on Earth your children will wish they were never born into. Long-term, we're talking about the fate of the human race, because once the right AI and robots are online, our usefulness/value to this elite will wane, and they will pull the plug on many of us. To them, it's just a farm; just business.
We are human. We have a generally predictable behavior to stimuli. Some of this is instinctual, and some has been purposely programmed into you since your birth, through media/movies, the educational system, and fears and propaganda previously programmed into family/friends and then programmed into you through social pressures. The elite are masters at knowing how this psychology works and how to utilize it for their benefit, not yours. Most everyone's ego, which is really all your fears, was mostly built and constantly manipulated by them. It is at play when you read this. They certainly know the basic biological instinct is to avoid pain and seek pleasure. So, they know that even when truth is handed to someone on a silver platter, if that truth is painful, meaning it goes against the narrative built by one's ego, that ego will cause the person enough pain to run from the truth. It also plays into our susceptibility to the Sunk Cost Fallacy, meaning if we've invested enough of a resource into doing something (whether it be money, time, etc.) and we discover, even subconsciously, that we've been wasting that resource, it is often so painful to admit it was wasted, that one will continue wasting the resource in the same way, rather than facing the pain of admitting their mistake and changing their behavior. Basically, we are so invested in just saying America is #1, that most of us are still blind that we are now run by globalists working against the U.S. and our interests, to the point that the only thing we are #1 in is helping corporations kill people in their way.
The world has a lot of problems. But to the thousands hacking away at the never-ending branches of problems (many fabricated), very few are hacking at the root cause of all the problems (H. Thoreau). That ROOT is an small elite and the toxic debt-based monetary system they've forced us to use, which allows them unlimited money to buy the real resources of the entire planet, while we pay for that through the debasement of the monopoly money we've earned (inflation), and believe it or not, through your income taxes (***see citation below). You think it was a coincidence income taxes (16th Amd) and the Federal Reserve Act were passed in the same year, 1913? No coincidence, none at all. So this Memorial Day, YES, let's honor those who sacrificed for the values they believed they were fighting for. But let's also honor ourselves, and our children, by NOT continuing the same mistake and QUIT being used as pawns (useful idiots, they call us) by a small group of men in the shadows who only value you, your children, America, and the world, for what they can steal, use, and throw away.
On a side note, cryptocurrencies will be very interesting development to watch, as theoretically, they are about the one and only threat to this aforementioned elite and the hellish direction they are engineering humanity. That's a good thing. However, be aware of a couple of things. #1 is that this "elite" are masters at taking over and subverting things, and creating/controlling their own opposition. If they can't kill cryptocurrencies, and we know they can't without killing the Internet, look for them to secretly create their own cryptocurrency, and have the means to manipulate it up to be the most popular. Remember, they got us using 99.9% credit cards by giving us 1% back, which we indirectly pay for anyway in the price of products, effectively punishing those still using cash. They will be openly against the one cryptocurrency they secretly created, just like how they wrote the Federal Reserve Act, and then pretended to be against it. For all we know, that's what Bitcoin is (there seems to be evidence the creator of Bitcoins was a CIA invention), and Ethereum is suspicious. #2 is that unfortunately, this "elite" operates with a "Scorched Earth" policy, meaning if they were truly on the verge of losing power, they would nuke the planet and flush it down the toilet before totally relinquishing control. It sucks, but that is the reality of their insanity. And finally, I'll throw a #3 out there... let's say #2 thankfully somehow does not come to fruition... cryptocurrencies will create an new "elite"... will they be any better? Well, I'd say they'd almost have to be. Happy Memorial Day!
