A Quarter of Americans Think the Sun Orbits the Earth

[Operator]

It can be pretty bad ... I remember a program on Dutch television where they asked
people (tourists) from the Netherlands on holiday in Spain to point at the Netherlands
on a map of Europe. Some of them couldn't do it !! I remember one of them was
pointing at Turkey ...

One thing need to be said though ... a lot of the 'older' people lost a lot of education
because of WW II happening during their schooling period. But still ... you wonder how
they made it to Spain ...

OMG... that's the one.

HIGHLY recommended. But really painful to watch!

Naught Carmody!
And did I hear them mention beaver balls soup 1 minute before the end??

That's what happens when you grow the population after the ww II on McDonalds, Coca Cola and ddt.
And on top of this you brainwash them daily for decades...

Sad...but true.

P.S.
If it could be a favorite of mine, I would choose one person in USA who couldn't name the country on letter "U"...

I would like to ask (with much interest!) the readers of this thread a little tricky question (or not!), do you consider these people (who are scattered all over the world, btw (be there wisdom, pleeease), not just in America- which is located in the north of the far east, right?) as your 'brothers and sisters'?, How much could you advocate for them in the 'hidden council of the 'Unseens' '? what is your wish for them ('to grow a brain' is not a valid answer..) and where would you like to see them in the next phase of transition of this planet?

Just a little excercise in unconditional love here

Personally I'm not at all worried about the amount of 'Sheeple' on the Planet...

• There were more before now
• Some are being forced into the 'Awakening'

But (Above all Else) we already have over 3,000,000 (Awakened Truthseekers) required to effect Global-Change on the Planet, so inevitably its....

Already (GAME OVER) for the PTW...

OK. Whatever the cause of this ignorance (insularity, junk food, poor education, mindless TV, etc.), I know these videos have been edited to show the dumbest people.

Nevertheless, assuming they represent only 10 percent of the public, is it any wonder that some of the crazy conspiracy theories get circulated and repeated on the internet without the contributors actually thinking about what they post? All that stuff about comet Ison being just one example...

But as others here have said, what can we do?

"How many Eiffel Towers are there?"

Well, this is quite tricky really, there are two in my garage, plastic ones my kids brought home

And how many Statues of Liberty are there? Answer, about twenty originals, in various parts of the world.

Very good point ... but also a very difficult one!
People shouldn't look down on each other. But it works in both directions !!

Even this morning, as we speak, one of my kids asked something about cryogenics (indirectly, not using that term).
When I started explaining something about it immediately one of my other kids interrupted me with a snarl:
"Here he goes again, mr. know-it-all".

Of course I don't know everything (far from it) but I'm always curious to find things out ... especially via
discussion with others. What annoys me most is people that are simply not interested in any open discussion
and kill it right away for unclear reasons. Being ignorant is not so bad, but staying ignorant while having an
opportunity to find out is. And still some of these people do have strong opinions ....

Albert Einstein:

Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance.

Despite all that we might think about this ... we still have got to love them !!

Thank you so much, Operator for a very good response. It is a difficult point (difficult for myself as well) maybe this is why it is worth to raise. But you have touched the one thing that really tickels (in a less than delightful way). It is a fact that we are all ignorants (had to check 'cryogenics' and my brain is not even in a freezing state) on one level or another, even very talented professors in Academia may specialize in one area and know very little in other fields, it is the level of freezing (Cryogenics again, I am excercising my new knowledge: ) of the mind while having no desire to learn things that may really matter and be pertinent to someone's life that is most challenging .

Your bottom line is great, However, and worth adopting

Sometimes a little ridicule works to increase awareness.
Considering that lots of corporate effort has gone in to lower awareness of the masses in all western societies
to purposely turn them into docile consumers, then it might be healthy if this is pointed out in a humorous way.
Meanwhile one ought to question what use their amazing knowledge of gadgets and household appliances has once they step out of the US and live as ex-pats in countries where there is no such variety of products.
The whining has me sometimes wondering why come here to this poor country?
Ah, of course, the climate, and more so, to use the Costa Rican free healthcare system
to which the contributions have come from poor coffee pickers.
So, to have someone rub it in that something is not quite right with those Muricans is like a balm on a wound.

I really see no harm in not being able to answer all those geographical questions,
but when a statement, such as the US invading Edmonton is met with approval,
then it shows that self absorbtion and consumerism has reached a point that should send alarm bells ringing.

In countries where the collective awareness level is higher the PTB have to work a lot harder to run a war machine.
Example is how the British Parliament voted against involvement in Syria.
