To comprehend history, and thus the present moment reality, it is important to contemplate the term 'information warfare'.
The first paragraph on wikipedia for this is very accurate:
"Information warfare (IW) is a concept involving the battlespace use and management of information and communication technology (ICT) in pursuit of a competitive advantage over an opponent. Information warfare is the manipulation of information trusted by a target without the target's awareness so that the target will make decisions against their interest but in the interest of the one conducting information warfare. As a result, it is not clear when information warfare begins, ends, and how strong or destructive it is.[1] Information warfare may involve the collection of tactical information, assurance(s) that one's own information is valid, spreading of propaganda or disinformation to demoralize or manipulate[2] the enemy and the public, undermining the quality of the opposing force's information and denial of information-collection opportunities to opposing forces. Information warfare is closely linked to psychological warfare."

Only through practicing self honesty,
and continually expanding into greater truths,
will we be able to see how this is used to enslave, and addict humanity,
to mutual degradation and suffering,
under illusion of happiness conformity.
