Have you noticed the incredible detachment from reality exhibited by the masses these days? The continued operation of modern society, it seems, depends on people making sure they don’t acknowledge reality (or try to deal with it). “Denial” is what keeps every sector of civilization humming along: medicine, finance, government, agriculture and more.
The trouble with the denial approach is that eventually the lies collide with reality. Until that day comes, however, happy-go-lucky Americans are merrily enjoying their courtship with self delusion, repeating the following 37 lies to themselves as if they were true:
Lie #1) All FDA-approved medications are safe to consume in any combination, because the FDA protects the public.
Lie #2) Food prices keep going up because inflation is a natural force that can’t be halted.
Lie #3) The mainstream media is telling me the truth when it reports on world events.
Lie #4) Chemical food additives are tested for their safety before being widely used across the food supply.
Lie #5) We can all pump groundwater out of the ground forever, and it will never run out.
Lie #6) We can also pump fossil fuels out of the ground forever, and they will never run out, either. Why worry?
Lie #7) If anything bad happens in terms of a national emergency or natural disaster, the government will take care of me.
Lie #8) It doesn’t matter where my food comes from as long as it’s cheap and delicious.
Lie #9) GMOs must be safe to eat because a bunch of scientists paid by the biotech industry all tell each other that GMOs are safe and therefore have reached “scientific consensus.”
Lie #10) Government debt doesn’t matter because the government can simply create more money any time they want.
Lie #11) Mercury in vaccines must be safe to inject into children, otherwise the CDC and FDA wouldn’t allow it to be used in vaccines.
Lie #12) Organic produce is a waste of money. I’ll buy conventional produce treated with pesticides and herbicides because the cost of all the cancer treatments I’ll need 20 years later will be covered by Obamacare anyway.
Lie #13) The history taught to children in public schools is a true and accurate history. Columbus was best friends with the Indians, too!
Lie #14) Swallowing fluoride chemicals is good for babies and children, and that’s why cities put fluoride into public water supplies.
Lie #15) Flu shots prevent the flu. That’s why the package inserts for flu vaccines openly state there is no scientific evidence to support any conclusion that influenza vaccines prevent influenza.
Lie #16) Whatever is backed by “science” must be true. Science is never falsified by corrupt scientists or corporate agendas, and scientific conclusions are never wrong.

…the cheque is in the mail.
And it’s only a cold sore!
Two of the greatest lies of the “confused” idiots now running things ; “The check is in your mouth and I promise not to cum in your mailbox” !
37 lies, zero edit:
Lie #1) All FDA-approved medications are safe to consume because the FDA is there to protect the public.
Lie #2) Prices keep going up because inflation is a natural force that can’t be halted.
Lie #3) The mainstream media would never knowingly deceive the public.
Lie #4) Chemical food additives are tested for their safety before being widely used across the food supply.
Lie #5) We can use unlimited quantities of groundwater forever, and it will never run out.
Lie #6) We can use unlimited quantities of fossil fuels forever, and they will never run out.
Lie #7) In a national emergency or natural disaster, the government will take care of you.
Lie #8) It doesn’t matter where food comes from as long as it’s cheap and delicious.
Lie #9) Genetically modified foods have been extensively tested by independent scientists and found to be just as safe and healthy as regular foods.
Lie #10) The government can manifest unlimited quantities of money forever.
Lie #11) Vaccines are safe and effective, the mercury in vaccines is harmless, even for children. If there were serious dangers involved, you would have to be informed about them and give your consent prior to vaccination.
Lie #12) Organic produce is a waste of money and is no safer or more nutritious than produce raised with chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Lie #13) The history taught in school is accurate and unbiased. The point of school is to give you the skills you need to succeed in life.
Lie #14) Adding fluoride to drinking water is good for your health, that’s why cities add it to public water supplies.
Lie #15) Flu shots prevent the flu.
Lie #16) Whatever is backed by science is true. Unlike normal humans, scientists don’t make errors in judgement, aren’t subject to being corrupted and would never attempt to deceive anyone. Thus, if a significant number of scientists give tacit approval to an idea, regardless of whether they’ve personally studied it, their collective opinion is infallibly accurate.
Lie #17) The global ecosystem can handle unlimited human pollution without any negative consequences. We can all continue to dump unlimited toxins into the environment.
Lie #18) Cell phone radiation is harmless. There are no credible studies indicating it can cause brain damage or cancer.
Lie #19) If the majority of people do something, it is the correct thing to do.
Lie #20) Owning storable food is a waste of money because it is a certainty that food will always be readily available.
Lie #21) Deadly infectious diseases are a thing of the past in America because the vaccine companies can instantly create new vaccines that are safe and effective.
Lie #22) Local police departments need battlefield military weapons, armored cars and body armor to keep the public safe, because keeping you safe is their job.
Lie #23) All products sold at Whole Foods are healthy and free from contaminants like toxic heavy metals.
Lie #24) Your vote really counts in national elections. You have a government by the people, for the people.
Lie #25) The money in your bank accounts is safe no matter what happens because your savings are FDIC insured.
Lie #26) Raw dairy products are dangerous and deadly. Farmers selling raw dairy products are a threat to public safety.
Lie #27) Doctors recommend chemotherapy treatment because it is the best choice for their patients, the fact they get a cut of the extremely high drug cost does not impact their decisions.
Lie #28) The government isn’t secretly recording all your electronic communications. Why would they? You’ve done nothing wrong.
Lie #29) Commercial dog food is healthy and nutritious for dogs. Dog treats made in China are also safe and free from contaminants.
Lie #30) The only way to prevent infectious disease is with a vaccine. Vitamin D and healthy immune support have nothing to do with it.
Lie #31) After I pay off my house, I own it.
Lie #32) Google will do no evil, and the fact that the company is developing humanoid battlefield robots, autonomous drones and super-human quantum computing brain chips is nothing to worry about.
Lie #33) Cancer is caused entirely by bad luck (or smoking) and has nothing to do with the food I eat, chemicals in my personal environment or vaccines.
Lie #34) The radiation release from Fukushima wasn’t that bad and it is being cleaned up.
Lie #35) Autism is not caused by vaccines. Don’t believe the CDC scientist who admitted to a massive conspiracy of scientific fraud to bury the evidence linking autism to vaccines.
Lie #36) All foods certified as “organic” are non-GMO and free of toxic heavy metals and contaminants.
Lie #37) Despite the fact there are more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy, and there are over 100 billion other galaxies in the universe, our star is the only one with a planet that has any kind of advanced life on it.
