“If you want to know what’s really going on in a society or ideology follow the money. If money is flowing to advertising instead of musicians, journalists, and artists, then society is more concerned with manipulation than truth or beauty. If content is worthless, then people will start to become empty-headed and content less.”

I just discussed this very truth with Hero Husband when we realised how extremely much money is thrown out right now in our country (Switzerland) to push through a humanly and existentially deeply wrong and hurtful initiative. We have to vote on 9/27 and although we were sure that this party had NO CHANCE (LIKE 2016 in the US), it now looks that all that money invested will pay for the party. It’s making us sick and we shake our heads in disbelief at the stupidness and the lack of interest for the truth of our fellow citizens.

Those pulling the strings in the US and the UK and now in many countries are clearly sociopathic and see society as thing to manipulate. Human lives don’t factor into this new game that infects the world. The wealth of just a few, and what they can by is staggering and unprecedented. We must all resist this “pandemic” of greed and corruption in whatever way we each can.
