“The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.” Georges Bernanos
True Scammers Mendicants, tramps and vagabonds, but not the one's you imagine or see, instead, the one's you pay for who rob you with glee, the one's in the penthouse, the mansion or three, who prey on the orphans and widows and me, the one's with forked tongues and a bible of lies, who hold morals like sewer rats or scandalous flies, who star in movies where the poor die as glorious martyrs for the victims of privilege whose wealth barely gets them by on a thousand a day. The truest scam is not Nigerian or emailed around, the truest of is entirely voted and approved by us all. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

ouch, thanks for calling the Bs out but doubt most notice!
Why are the masses so blind? They’re not idiots, is that they just don’t want to see the truth?

I think people are still in that space of illusion, that what they desire is real instead of that deeper life. I agree, they’re not idiots, but they’re not yet able to “see.”
