Why are people blaming Bill Gates or 5G for COVID-19? Indeed, there are some out there that are just bent on blaming someone. But that’s the symptom, not the problem. The underlying media system has been “manufacturing consent” for decades. It doesn’t produce the facts that we need to assess reality.

There is also a societal drive to be enthralled with fantasy. The sports-entertainment-distraction complex has resulted in millions who “pretend for hours or days or a week at a time that they’re not exactly or remotely themselves”.

These two factors have resulted in people becoming untethered from reality. Is it any surprise then that people blame a guy investing vaccines or 5G towers? The elite owned media has worked day and night to keep us away from reality. This way we will never question the system. But it also has robbed us of the basic rational thinking skills required to sift fiction from fact during a crisis like the one we are experiencing now.
