Hi petg, we should not underestimate the resourcefulness of TPTB. Two examples might give you the drift of my post above:

1. How Britain’s Propaganda Machine Controls What You Think:
On the one hand, just five individual Billionaires in Britain get to control 80% what you read in printed media and on the other hand, just five Internet Service Providers get to control what 87% of people get to see on their devices. Both are heavily influenced by government. It is no wonder what the public think is a misinterpretation of the truth. In fact, so far from the truth, it is more a departure from reality. Propaganda works! (Source: Graham Vanbergen, globalresearch.ca)

2. INFORMATION AND ITS COUNTERFEITS: PROPAGANDA, MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION
If counterfeiters put pictures of their family members on their handiwork, nobody would be fooled. What constitutes a good fake is how well it resembles the real thing. This document will help you be able to distinguish real information from its three lookalikes, or counterfeits: propaganda, misinformation and disinformation. Understanding the counterfeits will enable you to become a much more critical consumer of information. Examples below provide case studies to illustrate the importance of distinguishing misinformation and propaganda. (Source: Evaluating Information, John Hopkins University)

Whether we start believing in or doubting the veracity of the global derivatives' $1.5Q time bomb, TPTB have succeeded.

They know that life goes on for us, and we need to keep working to bring food & water to the table, plus roof over our heads, plus money to pay for medical bills, etc. Who has so much time and energy left to investigate the complex truth out there? We are not Mulder or Scully.

My guess is that the next misdirection would be to bring public attention to the full value of our national assets (tangible & intangible). In comparison, the national debt is then seen as negligible. Nothing to worry about here, move along ladies and gents.

"... according to the ABS' latest estimates, the total value of Australia's assets as at end June 2014 was around $12½ trillion, or around $500,000 for each person living in Australia. After an adjustment is made for net foreign liabilities, the net asset position, or net wealth, was around $10 trillion, which is the equivalent to around six times Australia's annual GDP...In net terms, Australia still has a net liability position with the rest of the world, having been a drawer on overseas savings for more than 200 years. Interestingly though, while our net liability position, relative to our national income, has been relatively steady in recent decades, relative to the value of our national assets it has declined and is currently at the lowest level in around 25 years."
