Do you believe it is true? Are we manipulated by our governments and first of all lobbyists standing behind them? Is there any way for ordinary people to react to it?

what do you think? great isn't it?
I've heard a theory of conspiracy that WTC was destroyed by USA government in order to influence people. What is more there are even some proofs of that theory. So was it a real attack on USA or an attack on oil deposits in Iraq? In my opinion not only governments but also rich and big companies can easily be manipulated. Do you know that swine flu was just a mystification made by pharmacy companies? Most of us are just blink monkeys that do not even have they own opinions. Let me just use one everyday example. When a group of humans stand on a pedestrian crossing and one starts walking despite the red lite everyone goes after him, but there always must be the first one. It is works the same way TV, commercials or governments can manipulate us. Unfortunately ordinary people do not have enough resources to react to it. Governments and big companies even decide what kind of technology or gadgets we can use. 3D television I had on my PC i 1999. So why now the new boom stars? It is quite easy, earn a lot of money on old technology and then give those ordinary people something "new" to earn more. In my opinion opinion the movie is 99% true.
ReplyDeleteOrganization or governments have power to manipulate people and I belive they certainly do this! I also heard a conspiracy theory about WTC and watched some documentary and I can admit that many presented proofs are convincing. I think everyone can react to manipulation: observe, draw your own conclusions, have your own opinions, make your own decisions. However ordinary people have not enought authority to change something.
ReplyDeleteAlways when something "big" happens people are talking about conspiracy theories. Information served by the media for the ordinary people often is incomplete and can be specially crafted to make expected influence on them. Sometimes the real truth never comes out or is revealed after many years.
ReplyDeleteI think that manipulation by governments cooperating with big companies/organizations is possible. That's the way to control people and of course to make a lot of money. I think that one of the best movies about conspiracy is Zeitgeist: The movie. It's about WTC and religion. Also you can see Zeitgeist: The addendum, but for me the first one is better.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are plenty of thinks that government do and we, normal people will never now about and i thinks it's a normal fact, because whole whole nation mustn't now about some facts, to achieve the success. That's the way, how every special forces or secret service works.

ReplyDeleteI also think that governments have enormous control on ordinary people and often use it. The corruption and conspiracy is present all over the world and especially in governments of the biggest empires like e.g. United States. They have unlimited power so they use in order to manipulate people to make them act as they wish. In my opinion it is certainly true that we all can react but the question arises: Who is willing to react? and Who would think that he/she can change anything?
ReplyDeletethis is common in the world. Nobody except politicans believe in it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, there are vast differences between governments regarding the degree in which they can/do manipulate the public opinion both home and abroad. The Polish government for example has much more limited resources and much less influence than its American counterpart. Therefore, even if it manipulates its own people (us) it is only able to do it on much smaller scale.
ReplyDeleteI believe in goverment manipulations. There were so many examples, conspiracy theories. Many of them are probably not true but many of them are. I especially like the story about how the FED (federal Reserve) was established.
ReplyDeleteI still don't believe that NASA went to the moon, now they thinking that maybe 2020 they can go again. Funny.
