Presidential Elections And Mass Delusions

 We live with several well-established mass delusions that are practically impossible to discuss openly during the presidential elections.

§  War and peace( 9/11 ).

§  The Syrian crisis and refugees( Invasion of Iraq).

§  Terror and gun violence (Sandy Hook).

§  The war on drugs(Inaccurate CDC and constitutional violations).

What is often left out is what science and evidence-based medicine say about them. Or we can say that science says 9/11 was an inside job, the Syrian crisis was the collateral damage from the Iraqi invasion, Sandy Hook was a staged event, the war on drugs are based upon false CDC data.

   Here is a simple reality : Public opinions and our collective impressions of major events are sculpted by main media and the news agencies. Hence the main media is crucial for any democracy to address important societal challenges including presidential elections, economy, war or health policy. It is also true that the main media may dismantle or promote mass delusions engineered by subgroups of special interest. This is why when the main media is compromised by minor but consistent omissions of crucial information we may end up living in a world of mass delusions.

  And worse wrongly convinced that as a democratic society we are making rational decisions to choose our president.
