Tit-for-Tat Politics, Vault 7, and the Political Distraction Game

‘There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America.’ – FBI Director James Comey

Welcome to modern America, where freedom, rights and privacy are no longer an absolute, but something to be earned or withheld on a whim, and where the true intentions of government and what really goes on behind the political scenes are entirely obfuscated by “state secrets” and intentional, manufactured political distraction.

The Terrorist Distraction

The American people have been slowly and incrementally conditioned to accept the growing surveillance and police state, all due to some hazy fear of a verifiably manufactured danger that kills fewer people than your annual heat wave — and that is not hyperbole, it is fact. According to the National Safety Council and the National Center for Health Statistics, Americans have a 1 in 45,808chance in their lifetime of being the victim of a terrorist attack, yet this topic seemingly justifies both the domestic and foreign policy of the US (that is arguably becoming quite un-American, “the totalitarian-tip-toe”) and clearly dominates American news coverage. Whereas, in any given year, an American has a 1 in 10,785 chance of dying due to a heat wave.

“I once asked a guy at [the National Institutes of Health] how much we should spend on preventing a disease that kills 6 per year, and he looked at me like I was crazy.” — John Mueller, a foreign policy expert at the Ohio State University and co-author of the book “Chasing Ghosts: The Policing of Terrorism”

The reason that self-created issues that are intrinsically harmful to the American people are essentially ignored, while being completely within our control to stop — such as the opiate epidemic which takes the life of one American every 20 minutes and is increasing with every passing day — while others are made to be headline news when in comparison their threat is almost non-existent, is due to the differing collective agenda of the ruling class. What actually comes to pass in this country has very little to do with the collective will of the American people, and almost entirely to do with the desires of a few extremely influential individuals. This was once considered “conspiracy theory”, yet today, it is essentially common knowledge, along with many other topics that were once intentionally shrouded in doubt and disbelief.

The decision as to which issues get air time in this country, and therefore gather public attention, hinges entirely on the State’s ability to use said issues to control perception and further their long-term agenda. So an issue such as the opiate epidemic is intentionally ignored (at the expense of American families), subconsciously telling all those who hear about it from independent media that it is not as serious as it’s being made out to be. In reality, however, it is the biggest issue facing Americans today.
