I’ve been busily integrating all of my articles, and am now up to March 2019. When I get to the present, I’ll be able to dive back into investigative journalism, versus editing the book I’m writing, which is entitled “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”. I’ve been working on it since July of 2013, when I began posting on the subject on Don Croft’s old forum, “Etheric Warriors”.
But yesterday I hopped online and read the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer. If you’ve been depressed lately, you might find its conclusions uplifting, as I did. Here’s just a small example:
“Trust in the government, already in the bottom quartile, decreased 45% among U.S. Citizens in 2020. Trust in the government among Chinese citizens decreased 18% in 2020.
Government was deeply distrusted in every one of the 26 markets Edelman surveyed.”
Confidence games, or “con’s”, for short, are swindles by which the ill-intentioned take advantage of the credulous and the innocent, by first putting on fair guise and falsely gaining the “confidence” of that would be victim or victims.
But the once the trust necessary for the execution of the Confidence game is gone, it will never return.
I’ve attached a hard copy of the whole aritcle for my 38 subscribers. Today’s new excerpt is below.

“A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.”
From “Politics and the English Language”, by George Orwell, 1946
In March 2021, edelman.com published “Edelman Trust Baromenter, 2021”.
It reads “The Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 1.9 million lives lost and joblessness equivalent to the Great Depression, has accelerated the erosion of trust around the world. This is evident in the significant drop in trust in the two largest economies: the U.S. and China. The U.S. (40 percent) and Chinese (30 percent) governments are deeply distrusted by respondents from the 26 other markets surveyed. And most notable is the drop in trust among their own citizens, with the U.S., already in the bottom quartile for trust, experiencing an additional 5-point drop since its presidential election in November 2020 and China seeing an 18-point drop since May 2020.”
That’s Orwell’s cuttlefish squirting out ink. I’ll write it more simply so you can feel what honest journalism reads like:
Government was deeply distrusted in every one of the 26 markets Edelman surveyed.
Trust in the government, already in the bottom quartile, decreased 45% among U.S. Citizens in 2020.
Trust in the government among Chinese citizens decreased 18% in 2020. In 2020, 30% of Chinese Citizens deeply distrusted the Chinese government.
The exponential, see-the-needle-moving decreases in trust in the government in the United States and China in 2020 were the greatest out of all the nations polled because the populace in the United States and China know that their own governments engineered the Chinese bat virus with four amino acids added for increased transmissibility to humans.
But don’t take my word for it:

Confidence games, or “con’s”, for short, are swindles in which the ill-intentioned take advantage of the credulous and the innocent, by first putting on fair guise and falsely gaining the “confidence” of the would be victim or victims.
The people who make their living this way shamelessly call themselves con “artists”, and they call their victims “rubes”.
“I related it more to my upbringing, I grew up in a very Christian environment — a very healthy environment and a loving a family — but there were parameters that I didn’t understand, that I questioned it, and it took me until my adult years until I could really try new things… That was satanism, it works really well, I made a pact and the movie came out, so… No, you’re really dealing with certain things as you grow up and you’ve got to try things on for yourself and really figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. I just relate to that time, it’s a very personal time, it’s a comfort system and you cut the tether and find yourself very on your own with nothing to hold on to.”

(Self-described Satanist Brad Pitt in “Fight Club”, 1996)
“The first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club.”
From “Fight Club”, written by Chuck Palahniuk, 1996
Brad plays like he was conscripted into the organization, and “made a pact”, but that’s a smokescreen. He’s a generational Satanist insider, linked to all the rest by his bloodline. That’s why an article in the U.K’s Gaurdian from March 2008 is headlined “Obama’s family tree expanded to include the Bushes and the Pitts”. And it’s why another article from the Hollywood Reporter, also from March 2008, is headlined “Obama related to Pitt, Clinton to Jolie".
(Brad Pitt playing Dr. Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live, 2020)
That’s why, in July 2020, Brad Pitt was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of Dr. Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live.
However, while controlling the media organs of all the nations in lock-step might at first appear an impressive achievement, public trust in the CDC dropped 16% from April to September 2020, and public trust of Dr. Anthony Fauci dropped 10%.
A close friend of mine who bought the Party line lock, stock and barrel a year ago said to me just last week “Dr. Fauci is a lying sack of shit.” My friend being one of the 45 more out of every hundred people who just woke up to the fact that they’re being grifted.
As you can see, The great Confidence game is collapsing, in all the nations at once.
But back to the Edelman Trust Barometer article:
“Government briefly seized the high ground, emerging as the most trusted institution in May 2020, when people entrusted it with leading the fight against Covid-19 and restoring economic health. But government failed the test and squandered that trust bubble, having lost the most ground in the last six months (down 8 points globally).”
It’s another sticky glob of cuttlefish ink, blown out to avoid plainly saying “Trust in Government decreased 8% internationally in 2020”.
Can you see how “briefly emerging as the most trusted institution” includes two hedging generalities? How long were they the most trusted? In a tirelessly-utilized propaganda ploy, the statistics are buried in a table down lower in the article. The ill-intentioned author knows that, since sixty to seventy percent of readers don’t even read the headlines, that the percentage who get to the far more impactful statistics which have, in journalistic parlance, been “buried” in the table below is very small.
Once I finally got to the figures, I had to do the math to learn that trust in government in the U.S. increased increased 6% from January to May 2020, from 55% to 61%. It is vital to note that, here, at the high water mark of the propaganda campaign surrounding the barely-covert international release of the Chinese bat virus with four amino acids added for improved transmissibility to humans, trust in government in the U.S. was not a majority view.
Also buried in the table is the fact that trust in Non-Governmental Organizations, or NGO’s, decreased by 1.7% in 2020, from 58% to 57%. Well, that’s not technically true - the author of the Edelman article wrote it as “-1”. Can you see how they removed the percent figure, to lessen the impact even further? For those keeping score, in journalism, you’d write “1.7%”, or you’d round it up to 2%.
The article continues: “None of the societal leaders we track—government leaders, CEOs, journalists and even religious leaders—are trusted to do what is right, with drops in trust scores for all.”
In every nation, trust in the nattily dressed, grinning, teleprompter-reading con artists at the top of all the control pyramids is gone. And it will never return.

The article continues: “The global infodemic has driven trust in all news sources to record lows with social media (35 percent) and owned media (41 percent) the least trusted; traditional media (53 percent) saw the largest drop in trust at eight points globally.”
Where the hilarious, Covid-tastic meme “global infodemic” is Mil-speak for “exponentially increasing awareness, regardless of culture or geography”.
I also had to to the math to learn that trust in traditional media decreased 13% internationally in 2020, from 61% to 53%. The Edelman article described it as “decreased by eight points”. You score points. Points are good. It’s an example of what is known in the propaganda trade as “spin”.
Signally, just 35% of the general populace trusted social media in 2020. And, while the propagandist from Edelman copped to the fact that just a third of humanity was buying the con, they left carefully unmentioned anything about the magnitude of the international decrease in trust in social media in 2020.
To be clear, that doesn’t mean that people suddenly began distrusting their friends on Facebook. But rather that the majority of the populace has recognized that all news sources are coopted from the top, and are not to be trusted.
The trust necessary for the execution of the Confidence game is gone, and it will never return.
In 2020, just 41% of the public trusted owned media. That means 59% of the populace distrust owned media.
The trust necessary for the execution of the Confidence game is gone. And it will never return.
