ABOUT this Guy page is some information about " Down to Earth thinking".  I have experienced many life or death events and give some but not all of those events.

Cognitive Dissonance and Normalcy Bias  this page explains how and why we see so many events and policies that defy our logic and rational thinking. Yet are forced on us as though they are truth an fact when they are actually simply illusions created to control and manipulate you. It is all done with the direct help and contrivances of PRAVDA/MSM. The perfect example is Obamacare, but there are many more illusions and all are control mechanisms and manipulations. The masses are quite easily fooled and believe what they are told by the elites that run our government and corporations. And now the two are basically the same ? As we now live in a corporatocracy or a form of cronyism/fascism. It is very easy to create the illusions and another example would be the term "undocumented worker" ? There is no such thing in reality ? You are either here  legally or you are not . So they created this illusion/phrase so the politicos would not have to use the term illegal alien. PRAVDA/MSM can create all dialogue, narratives and or ignore anything they choose to ? Ponder that because it is very powerful. Combined with the psychological and emotional dealings explained on this page it will all make sense out of nonsense ? We all live in massive illusions and all are created very deliberately to control you and your tax dollars to be used against you in a myriad of ways everyday. 

Dedication page  to my forefathers who helped create this great country 

Without them I would not be here. I greatly appreciate them and honor them !
