Distracted and Defeated

By M. Bhangu

From time to time, the "haves" of society shape and manipulate the type of information the "have-nots" absorb and become.The "haves" tamper with information so to control the type of thoughts and actions the "have-nots" might conjure. If the "have-nots" were free to think freely, they might challenge the status quo. If the current state of affairs is modified, "the haves" might lose their status as "the haves" and the power they're accustom to.The accumulation of each instance has birthed an illusion and every person is subject to the misinformation. To make matters worse, most people are born with a trusting mindset and do not expect the deception. Nor are they prepared for it.The mystery is worldwide and evident throughout written history. The manner in which the world is presented isn't complete and fabrications are scattered throughout the chronology.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroductionChapter 1: Ante BellumDisagreement over the Social ContractNear DefeatThe Old is NewDecoding LifeBread and CircusesDead Heroes and GangstersTo BelieveArtificial InflationThe Big OPleasure-SeekersAbstinenceLove as a DistractionSoulmateThe Art of MatingLiquor, Nicotine, and ThingsAlcohol and DisunityIndividualityA False Notion of SuccessSheep Make SheepGears and GreaseThe ChaseHow They Do ItMaster and ServantTo WantTo RepeatProvocateurTo SubmitTo SacrificeChapter 2: ChameleonTrickedAncient TricksWeapons of Mass ConfusionThe RepeatersKim K and the BandCloaked TentaclesMatryoshkaCreature of CompromiseWhom to Blame?Skipping RocksTimeoutChapter 3: GubernatioBurning Barriers and Cracked DamsPuppetsThe Pact Between Past PeopleDeliberate DeceptionThe Divine Right of KingsDonald TrumpParty LoyaltyYesterday is TodayPlatonopolisNo Society Wants You to Become WiseHis StoryA Flower in FebruaryNewish WorldChapter 4: Self-SabotageComatoseControlled Conflict and DisunitySelf-InflictedAnomieUncle TomsThe Nature of the HumanDeficient is Public EducationBuilt to BecomeKing of the Castle ComplexThe Rise of the CavemanCaveman-LikeMisplaced HateTo Sacrifice IIWhy Him?EnemiesChapter 5: The Last HopeThe Family DivideSingle ParentsFX in HeadBroken ConnectionsRaining Snake-Oil: The Last Line of DefenceShadow and LightAngels or DemonsGlossary
