Do you want to avoid being duped?
Politicians, court intellectuals, and other talking heads wage massive campaigns to get people high on war fever.
The history of U.S. military intervention – wars of choice where our politicians are “the good guys” – has a poor track record.
Yet the professional Agents of DUPE keep at it. They say the same things they said last time (and the time before that).
We only found out how wrong they were when it was too late to stop them.
It’s surprising how often people get duped. You’d think more people would know better by now.
You Can Avoid Being One of The Duped
Watching the Iran War play out (it’s just over six weeks old), and then hearing friends on the left, libertarian, and right sides tell me what’s right or wrong about it, has caused me to think about…
How is it that I know wars of intervention are a bad idea?
After all, I’ve figured it out in the past – when the whole world told me I was wrong. I’ve done it repeatedly!
How can you know the same things I know? …almost as if you can predict the future, instead of getting duped?
I am sharing my “shortcuts to insight” with you in this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka titled, “5 Hard Truths About Warmongering.”
OR…
Five Truths
We reveal…
- A pronoun confusion that’s so prevalent, even Ron Paul does it
- The real nature of The State
- How much truth you get in the lead-up to and progression of a war (and why that’s not enough)
- The counterintuitive truth about who is most duped by war claims
- Why the institution of the State needs bloodshed
Oh, and when it comes to that “pronoun confusion”… Even I do it! Tune in, and you’ll get to see or hear how Bill Protzmann has fun at my expense when I screw up.
