Or even..

A psychological term denoting the mental state in which two or more incompatible or contradictory ideas — eg, enjoying smoking and knowing it to be unhealthy — are both held to be true

Default Examples Of Cognitive Dissonance

The definition is above the examples are below :

- believing in the justice of the war in iraq , knowing its based on an indisputable lie.

- watching the nightly tv news knowing its scarcely informing you

- knowing the bilderberg group is made up of major power brokers meeting in secret but thinking this is not news worthy ( or in KB's case - "the journalists can't be bothered " ! )

- knowing the "kooks" have made so many accurate predictions Do You Remember? , but refuse to listen to them still.

- knowing that tyranny is the norm in history but still believing it cant happen in your own backyard.

- knowing that conspiracies ,corruption , black ops , and false flags exist , but believe every word of the official 9/11 story with its blatent discrepencies.

- unconcerned with a detailed high level plan to false flag cuba in operation Northwoods , but obsess instead over nitpicking the definition of the term "plan" !!

- knowing that sodium flouride is the active ingredient in rat poison , yet guzzling it down in tap water.(unless you're homeopaths !)

- knowing that the banks lost our money , to be bailed out with our money , to be lent back to us at interest , and still think we're not slaves !

- believing everything mainstream media tells you , but knowing in your gut something ain't right.

Default Is there anything positive to say AX

Is there anything that Government has done right ? (VIC)
Bringing Tiger Woods out for Masters his appearance fee was justified as
we got it back in 10-fold for economy
Royal Children Hospital operated on twins that were join at head at birth to
separated them ! uplifting ! amazing techology advances
There is many examples l could give but it would bore you death since you're
into negative and very unspiring stuff .You might be revealing some half truths
about some of things you post as alot of this material is put on youtube
and come from unrealible sources .And you trust internet for your very
unspiring material ? And you are telling us to stop watching news, stop reading papers
And mass media have it all over us ? l'd say there is small minor group
who will believe everything they watch l'll give you that, but on whole
majority of viewers will dismiss it or just wait for next story which there interested in . You underestimate power of viewer !

Possible EU President Tells Bilderberg: Levy Green Taxes On Europe


David Charter and Philip Webster
Times Online !!
November 17, 2009



The man tipped to be Europe’s first president is already considering new EU taxes to fund the rising cost of Brussels and the welfare state.

Herman Van Rompuy, the Belgian Prime Minister, broke his silence before Thursday’s summit to choose the president — but only at a meeting of the secretive Bilderberg group of top politicians, bankers and businessmen.

Mr Van Rompuy’s contentious remarks were aired privately amid the grand surroundings of the Castle of the Valley of the Duchess near Brussels. The château hosted the talks on the Treaty of Rome in 1957 that launched the European Union.

His office released parts of his speech in which he talked of funding social welfare from new green taxes and went on to discuss “financing levies at European level”, which his spokesman said later was similar to Gordon Brown’s call for an international tax on financial transactions.

Author Daniel Estulin to Shed Light on Bilderbergs with Historic Presentation at European Parliament

Author Daniel Estulin to Shed Light on Bilderbergs with Historic Presentation at European Parliament


Brussels, Belgium (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2010 — International best-selling author Daniel Estulin will make an unprecedented speech before the European Parliament on June 1st, 2010 at its headquarters in Brussels.

Daniel Estulin, author of “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” and “Shadow Masters”, has been invited to speak at the European Parliament by Mario Borghezio, the most senior Member of European Parliament from Italy. The European Parliament is one of the most powerful legislatures in the world. Estulin’s talk is equivalent to addressing a joint session of Congress. In fact, never before has Bilderberg as a subject seen the light of day in front of such a highly respectable audience – elected senators of European nations.

Estulin will be part of a presentation titled Bilderberg Group – Towards Creation of One World Company Ltd., given by the author, as well as Borghezio, Nigel Farage (Member of European Parliament for South East England) and Gerard Batten (Member of European Parliament for London).



Estulin is the world’s top authority on the Bilderberg Group. Because of the worldwide appeal of the author’s book (over 3.5 million sold in nearly 50 languages), this once incredibly powerful and highly secretive organization is now a private forum of lesser stature. Who knows what the group will now transmogrify itself into?

“This is an opportunity to bring Bilderberg into the mainstream,” said Estulin. “A subject that was once considered to be in the domain of conspiracy theories is now being taken very seriously indeed.”

The Bilderberg Group is an annual, invitation-only conference with over 100 of the globe’s most influential movers and shakers, including heads of state, business tycoons and others. It is closed to the public and the press. This year the conference will be held from the 3rd to the 6th of June in Sitges, Spain.
