the invisible elephant (in the room)

 

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
― Edward Bernays, Propaganda

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

― Woodrow Wilson, New Freedom

“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”

― William Colby, former director of the CIA

These quotes are well sourced; google them if u wish. I've come across all of them (and others like them) before, including in barrie zwicker's excellent book TOWERS OF DECEPTION : THE MEDIA COVER-UP OF 9/11 . They are all footnoted. For example, the Roosevelt quote is from a speech to the national convention of the Progressive party in Chicago on Aug 6, 1912.

Note these quotes all go back decades ago. The 'invisible' government' of which they speak is not a very recent phenomenon. It's been around longer than anyone alive today. I'd like to know how familiar u are with this concept. I suspect some of u are mostly if not entirely unfamiliar with it. It's not the sort of thing one normally learns about in school or from mass media. Not at all normal to bring it up as i'm doing here and now. In addition to being 'invisible', it's very secretive and conspiratorial and ruthless and powerful and intimidating.

The elephant may be invisible but it leaves very visible tracks. The most notable ones in my 65 years have been the JFK coup d'etat and 9/11 false flag. This is how those of us in the 'conscious Left' (barrie zwicker's term) know the invisible elephant exists. There are mountains of evidence which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that our most powerful institutions, big government and big media, are both entirely controlled by this shadowy 'power' spoken of by the very powerful and prominent men quoted above, this 'invisible government'.

These mountains of evidence are not to be found in school books or big media. One must independently seek out facts which the invisible elephant doesn't want us to know about or discuss.  The elephant leaves such conspicuous evidence of it's existence. It's impossible to spin huge elaborate lies (conspiracies) involving scores or hundreds (thousands?) of witting participants in the public eye and fool everyone (including the scores or hundreds or thousands of witnesses on the scene who observe facts which show the official narrative to be false).

There's a reason scores or hundreds of books have been written about these events. It's the effort of independent individuals / journalists to expose the elephant, to awaken a somnolent sheeple to the truth of our world. The truth that that elephant we can't see does exist.

i've read many such books and similar others involving dirty deeds not done dirt cheap, assassinations, coups, false flags that serve as pretexts for wars of aggression which profit the elephant. It's very well documented that a primary function of 'intelligence' agencies like the CIA is the commission of such dirty deeds. All one need do is seek out such documentation and take the time and make the effort to absorb and synthesize the information.

What puzzles me most now about the elephant is the near total lack of acknowledgement of it by the 'conscious Left' which i presume must include some reading this. Considering the considerable shadow it casts over our lives, this puzzles me to no end.  It's the primary obstacle preventing the Left from achieving the goal of a more equitable, just, environmentally responsible and peaceful world. A goal which now is beyond urgent.

The first step in solving any problem is acknowledging it's existence.
