In recent years, trust in American institutions has eroded to the point of collapse. From media outlets to political leaders, citizens no longer know who or what to believe. As former President Barack Obama ominously noted, “You just have to flood a country’s town square with enough raw sewage… raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theories that citizens no longer know what to believe.” This deliberate chaos is a tactic used by elites to control the masses, making it nearly impossible to discern truth from lies. The America we once knew is slipping away, replaced by a version orchestrated by the powerful few.
The Slow Poisoning of Trust
This deliberate disinformation campaign is not new. Political theorists such as Hannah Arendt warned decades ago about the dangers of mass confusion, where “the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction… no longer exists.” This erosion of truth opens the door to control on a massive scale. Elites flood the public with conflicting narratives, designed to destabilize trust in political institutions, the media, and even in our fellow citizens.
The Puppet Presidency and the Elites’ Real Agenda
President Joe Biden’s administration has proposed reforms, including limits on Supreme Court terms and removing presidential immunity from crimes committed while in office. While these changes may appear as steps toward justice, they raise the question: who truly benefits? Critics argue that the Biden presidency, controlled by elites behind the scenes, is part of a larger plot to transform America into a nation where individual rights are subjugated to the whims of the wealthy.
Political commentator Noam Chomsky has long argued that “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” This could explain the appearance of democracy under Biden, where the illusion of reform distracts from the elites’ ultimate goal: total control over a population kept in the dark.
The Heartland in Decline: A Case Study of Springfield, Ohio
The decline of America’s heartland offers a glimpse into the methodical destruction wrought by those in power. Springfield, Ohio, once a thriving industrial hub, has become a wasteland of shuttered factories, rampant drug addiction, and decimated families. Step by step, the ruling class has torn apart these communities:
- Close the factories: With jobs outsourced overseas, the economic heart of these towns is removed.
- Flood communities with opioids: The opioid epidemic, driven in part by pharmaceutical companies seeking profit, permanently cripples these towns.
- Send their children to endless wars: Wars without clear purpose drag on, with young men and women sent overseas to fight, often returning with lifelong injuries or not returning at all.
Historian Howard Zinn once remarked, “In the long run, the oppressor is also a victim, for humanity is indivisible.” Yet, elites continue to treat American citizens as commodities to be used and discarded.
Immigration as a Weapon of Division
Once the population is sufficiently weakened, another tactic is deployed: the flood of foreign labor. These immigrants, often brought in under dubious circumstances, are used to further destabilize and marginalize the native population. Anyone who speaks out against these practices is quickly labeled a racist or xenophobe, regardless of the actual issues at play. In Springfield, Ohio, residents report horrifying incidents of crime perpetrated by new arrivals, including home invasions and even acts of violence, but they are silenced by the fear of being labeled politically incorrect.
Christopher Lasch, in The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy, observed how “the elites, who now dominate not only government but also culture and academia, have become estranged from the common people, for whom they feel an undisguised contempt.” This contempt is clear in the way elites treat towns like Springfield as disposable, using immigration as a tool to further break communities already on the edge.
Political Corruption: The New Normal
It is no longer shocking to hear that political parties funnel money through backchannels to manipulate elections. Consider the recent revelations that campaign dollars were illegally spent to hire a foreign intelligence asset, who then provided false information to the FBI. This led to illegal surveillance of political opponents through secret courts, all to tip the scales in a deeply flawed democratic process.
In the words of President Trump, “They’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” Whether one supports Trump or not, his statement rings true: elites are not interested in individuals—they are after control of the entire population.
Education: The Ultimate Tool for Control
One of the most effective methods of control is the public education system. Designed not to educate but to indoctrinate, it creates obedient workers rather than critical thinkers. Historian John Taylor Gatto noted in The Underground History of American Education that “school was the principal instrument of a socialization designed to wash away any experience of real life, replace it with predigested experience, and alienate children from themselves and from their families.” This system produces the very workers needed to fuel the elites’ corporate machine.
The Inevitable Transformation
As we face the upcoming elections, it is clear that the America we know is on the brink of transformation. Whether by design or coincidence, the pieces are in place to create a new order. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, once stated, “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy.” This chilling prediction appears to be the end goal of the elites running America today.
Conclusion
The battle for the soul of America is being waged not in Washington, D.C., but in the hearts and minds of everyday citizens. As the elites flood our town squares with “raw sewage” in the form of lies, corruption, and disinformation, the very foundation of democracy erodes beneath us. As citizens, we must recognize the manipulation for what it is and reclaim our nation before it is too late.

They cover a wide range of stories but focus on contributing to their readers’ understanding of a complex and constantly changing field of information. They are driven by two core values: to provide accurate and informative content and to keep in mind the ultimate “smell test” – stories worth discussing with friends at a bar.

Please follow along with me on this journey of discovery as I share my brush of madness with exquisite clarity. Luckily, I was never a quick fix-it junkie where I said no to many suggestions from board-certified or certifiable doctors because I felt it in my soul that it was merely a bonafide being placed on my issues. The names of sure doctors have been changed because, frankly, I don’t want to be sued for proven the lack in their field.
Hippocrates was right when he said: Let the food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.
