We are being manipulated. We don't always know how, but we sense that political and financial interests have mastered the art of pushing our emotional buttons while exploiting our ignorance in order to advance their agendas.
The list of current issues that are - if not completely manufactured - at least significantly distorted is long.
Here is a small sample:
1) Elect Hillary just because she's a woman.
Until scandals exploded in her face, Hillary Clinton was being pushed as the most logical Democrat candidate to the presidency because she is a woman. In other words, her gender was her leading attribute for the presidency.
Having a woman president trumped all other concerns about her disturbing track record dating back to her years as a lawyer in Arkansas. Feminist propaganda and political correctness has that numbing effect on us.

2) Climate change as the biggest threat ever
It has been defined by top world leaders as the biggest threat to humans and to the planet. It used to be called global warming, but that got discredited very quickly, so the threat was redefined as climate change, which covers all possibilities.

However, world climate is in constant flux. That shouldn't be "news". The history of planet Earth has been dramatic: continents have shifted again and again; there were times when our atmosphere was toxic to life; and we have had "snowball Earth" periods when our entire planet was covered with ice, although volcanos eventually took care of that.
What is a real threat to humans and to life on this planet is nuclear power in its many forms. Nuclear power plants can go into complete meltdown if our power grid is ever destroyed. And what could do that?

A nuclear device exploded in the atmosphere could cause an EMP effect - an electromagnetic pulse that would fry the power grid and all electronics, unleashing the meltdown of dozens of nuclear power plants in the affected area, which could be the entire United States and Canada. A major solar flare coming in our direction could do the same thing.
That could happen tomorrow. And yet, we are not prepared for that, and the media rarely mentions it.
The destruction of the power grid would plunge Canada and the US into the stone age. Anything that needs computers to function, including transportation, would come to a halt.

Nuclear power - and not climate change - is the real nightmare. But we don't hear much about that because those who manipulate us don't want us to turn against nuclear power and the ticking bombs called nuclear power plants. There is too much money invested in them.
Canada, my country, just made a terrific deal to sell tons of uranium to India for their nuclear industry.
3) SHHH - Don't mention OVERPOPULATION
The subject of overpopulation has become taboo, perhaps because it is most prominent among people of color. Although Western women are having fewer babies than ever, people from other cultures continue to reproduce at an alarming rate. Their babies will demand more natural resources, and will originate more waste. They will cut down the remaining trees; continue to poison rivers, lakes, and oceans with their pollution; raise, torture and slaughter billions of animals for consumption, and drive wildlife to extinction.

Activists who claim to love planet Earth should spend their time advocating for zero population growth instead of the myriad of little projects to make the world "greener".
The fact is that all their so-called green solutions have backfired. Solar panels and wind turbines kill millions of birds.
The problem is not fossil fuels as much as the out-of-control reproductive growth of humans on this planet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those are big manipulative projects, and not hard to understand once we have the facts.
But there are other more historical manipulations that have propagated like a virus, covering up or distorting well documented facts and logical thinking.
One of them is calling Israelis "Nazis" while obscuring the enthusiastic participation by the Mufti of Jerusalem, the Palestinian Arab leader at the time, in the design and implementation of the Holocaust.
The genocidal Nazi ideology is still very much alive in the Muslim world, and very particularly among Palestinians, who demonize Jews and plan the eventual destruction of the Jewish people.
The other blatant propaganda manipulation is accusing Israel of Apartheid, while covering up the historical and ongoing discrimination and apartheid against Jews by Muslim societies.
Israeli Apartheid?
Critics like to use the word Apartheid to demonize Israel. This in spite of unquestionable historical facts, which have been paved over with relentless propaganda.
There is no separation between Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews. Israeli Arabs participate fully in Israeli society, except that they don't take part in the defense of the country.
But there is separation between Arabs living in the Palestinian Authority - who used to have Jordanian citizenship until Jordan revoked it - and the rest of Israelis.
