Ignorance Is the Fertile Soil for Fraud

If we tune our antennae to what is going on around us, we will find that the fraud being perpetrated upon the masses of us is pervasive. If we focus on those areas of the most pervasive fraud, we will also find that there is a pervasive ignorance among us. We consider our health to be at the highest level of importance and priority. However, there are millions of us who are suffering needlessly and dying prematurely every year in our society because we are dependant upon a healthcare system that manages illness and has no cures. And yet, in our ignorance we look to the system for cures because it represents itself as a place to seek cures. Additionally, the legislation that is being passed with billions of dollars for healthcare is not addressing the severe problems in our healthcare system but is instead passing those dollars to the vested interest groups and organizations. Again, in our ignorance, we believe that the best and the most is being done within the realm of possibility. There is pervasive fraud being perpetrated upon us in the healthcare industry and we can no longer afford nor accept these deplorable conditions. We must come together and collectively remove the burdensome blanket of ignorance. We consider our personal financial security to be at the highest level of importance and priority. However, despite years of labor, most of us find ourselves unable to meet our monthly financial obligations beyond 3 months without a paycheck. And yet, in our ignorance we watch as the gap between the masses and the top 2% widens to proportions greater than at any time in our history. And, we watch the fraud and bankrupting of corporations that leave many of us devoid of security while the top executives leave with sums and security beyond our wildest imaginations. In our ignorance, we hand over our hard earned dollars to the major institutions including government and watch while billions are being created from those dollars and passed to the vested few. There is pervasive fraud being perpetrated upon us by those institutions that take our labor and our dollars and we can no longer afford nor accept these deplorable conditions. We must come together and collectively remove the burdensome blanket of ignorance. Ignorance is not bliss. What you dont know will hurt you. In fact, our ignorance not only continues to enslave us, it is also killing us. Our ignorance is not coincidental, it is by design. What do you intend to do about it? The ball is in your court.
