"It's much easier to deceive a man than to convince him he's been deceived."
The elephant in the room
If an authority figure, such as a parent or teacher, tells an untruth to a child, the child may believe without hesitation the person whom they recognize as someone more knowledgeable than they. Even if the child has developed a capacity for critical thinking and possesses accurate knowledge regarding the subject at hand, they still may question their current understanding simply because they expect the knowledge of a perceived superior to be greater than their own. Simply put, we expect our educators to supply us with verifiable facts despite the fact that they often do not, though this is not entirely their fault.
Children have an innocence and a degree of honesty that often degrades as we progress through life. A child has not yet developed an ego which they feel compelled to defend at the expense of considering a view which opposes their own, even when the conflicting evidence is overwhelming. Even if the child reasons that an elephant cannot physically be in the room, they are probably more likely to look before arguing the point, whereas an adult is more likely to argue without ever having looked.
There are many widely accepted authorities regarding Germany's role in World War II, Hitler and the Jewish holocaust, including our school teachers, the authors of our history books, our governments, the entire mainstream media and much of mainstream social media. Perhaps the most effective and prolific are the writers and producers of Hollywood movies and documentary films, all of which provide us with a generally consistent version of Germany's role in the Second World War and the Jewish holocaust. Moving pictures, especially, have a significant impact upon public opinion.
The obvious problem here is that these same historians and institutions have been caught perpetrating deceptions time and time again, often with exceedingly deadly consequences in terms of human lives and still, regardless of the fact that many of us are aware of at least some of these deceptions, we continue to trust these institutions as though their past performance has little or no bearing upon the present.
Many of us now realize that Iraq did not play a role in the terrorist attacks upon the United States on September 11, 2001; that Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard did not extract babies from incubators and leave them to die "on the cold, hard floor"; that Iraq did not possess biological weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, nor did it have a nuclear weapons program. These facts, well known by the CIA and the Bush administration at the time, did not deter the U.S. government from committing the largest and most well funded military in the world to a pre-planned, geopolitical war which resulted in millions of dead and displaced peoples, leaving in its wake a ravaged and enslaved country littered with radioactive "depleted" uranium, broken families and continued violence.One of the primary objectives the U.S. military was tasked with when our government invaded Afghanistan was securing the poppy fields, the cultivation of which the Taliban had largely eradicated. Due to the "security" provided by the U.S. government however, poppy production was quickly rejuvenated and the multi-billion dollar heroin industry, which continues to grow each year, has made an astonishing recovery. The poppy from Afghanistan, which then makes its way through Turkey, supplies approximately 80% of Europe's heroin market according to Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator turned whistle-blower who is known as the most gagged person in American history. What the proceeds from drug trafficking are used for is another story for another day, one in which the CIA is intimately involved.Many are aware of the recently declassified documents which clearly indicate that, at the very least, the second attack upon the USS Maddox Navy vessel in the Gulf of Tonkin on August of 1964, was a fabrication. This immense and blatant lie was sold to an unquestioning public by the Johnson administration and parroted by the obedient press. The false-flag event was sufficient to manipulate a gullible U.S. public to support the administration's goal of escalating the conflict in Vietnam, a non-war war (congress never formally declared a state of war) which resulted in the deaths of nearly 60,000 Americans and roughly one and a half million Vietnamese people, many of which were civilians.Many are aware of the true purpose of Israel's Dimona facility which is used to enrich uranium for its undeclared nuclear weapons program, an activity which John F. Kennedy tried to stop because of the threat a nuclear armed Israel posed to stability of the Middle East. Kennedy's policies regarding Israel, including inspections of Dimona and his insistence that the American Zionist Council register as a foreign agent, as well as a policy which signaled the end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, were reversed by the pro-Israel Johnson administration shortly after the fatal shot was fired in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. To this day Israel denies it possesses nuclear weapons and is therefore exempt from nuclear weapon non-proliferation agreements as well as inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.Many are aware of the incident that took place during Israel's 1967, 6 Day War with several Arab nations when the United States' closest ally deliberately bombed, torpedoed and machine-gunned the USS Liberty, a lightly armed intelligence gathering vessel floating off the coast of Gaza in international waters. The attack took place on a bright summer day while a five by eight foot American flag billowed in the wind according to witnesses who also stated that the Israelis illegally jammed international distress radio frequencies and machine-gunned lifeboats in a deliberate effort to kill every sole on board. 34 Americans were murdered and 174 injured during the onslaught, the purpose of which was to blame the attack on Egypt in order to drag the U.S. into Israel's war. To this day Israel insists the attack was a case of "mistaken identity", however audio recordings of Israeli military communications and documents tell a very different story, further reinforcing what many have long known; that Israel was absolutely aware it had engaged a U.S. Naval vessel in international waters and did so deliberately in order to draw the U.S. into another war for the benefit of Israel.
I could probably cite another 50 well documented examples of massive lies, distortions, corruptions, false-flag operations and cover-ups by various governments and media outlets without breaking a sweat, but i hope i have made my point, which is that it is incredibly foolish and naive to trust what our governments, mainstream media and educational institutions tell us without ever vetting the information they provide.
Regardless of your current position regarding Germany's role in World War II, the Jewish holocaust and Hitler, there can be no doubt that there are very powerful and influential people and institutions that are dedicated to ensuring that a particular version of these historical events receives the lion's share of the attention while those which challenge the official narrative are persecuted and silenced and, in many cases, imprisoned, even when the information they share is purely scientific in nature. It is in fact illegal in many countries to challenge certain aspects of the holocaust and this of course is in direct opposition to the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights. As Kevin Alfred Strom stated, "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?".
With that said, i now challenge those of you who believe that the mainstream version of Hitler and the Jewish holocaust provided by the victors of World War II is generally accurate and that approximately eleven million people, six million of which were Jews, were systematically exterminated in German controlled concentration camps throughout Europe simply because Adolf Hitler was a psychotic, power-hungry dictator who hated Jews. Are you willing to put your beliefs to the test by reexamining the evidence with an open mind? Maybe there really is an elephant in the room.
