Now an army may be likened to water, for just as flowing water avoids the heights and hastens to the lowlands, so any army avoids strength and strikes weakness. And as water shapes its flow in accordance with the ground, so an army manages its victory in accordance with the situation of the enemy. And as water has no constant form, there are in war no constant conditions. Thus, one able to gain the victory by modifying his tactics in accordance with the enemy situation may be said to be divine. Of the five elements, none is always predominant: of the four seasons, none lasts forever; of the days, some are long and some short, and the moon waxes and wanes.  **― From "_The Art of War_", by Sun Tzu, 5th Century B.C.** September 17, 2020 - **_Anti-maskers _**** don’t trust  **science: And it’s ** _science’s _**fault September 19, 2020 - Kenosha, Wisconsin - Editorial: A COVID-19 vaccine doesn't exist yet, but already people  **don't trust ** it In the future, grade school children will marvel that the meme "anti-maskers" could be put forward by the controlled press at this time as a description of rational human beings. But those children will also know that nearly two thirds of those polled at this time don't trust the controlled press, and that the number dropped another 4% - and counting - in 2020. The five elements that Sun Tzu mentions in the quote at the top of the article are Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and the Ether. Since that time, the folks in charge have edited the Ether out of the picture. Confidence games, or cons for short, can only succeed if a self-described con "artist" first gains the trust of another, or others. And cons collapse when that fraudulently-gained trust is lost. When cons collapse, they do so in a rush, like a house of cards. An article from the U.K. from April of this year is headlined "Coronavirus: why public trust is an issue for news media **_but don’t trust those polls_**". They buried the damning information from the polls they told you not to trust in a table, and refused to state any numbers: ![|800x445](upload://oOmaF06mHFX0seqPGbg7uRTyc4Z.png) After reviewing the data buried in the table, I can say that roughly 40% of the British populace don't trust TV Journalists, and 55 or 60 percent don't trust Newspapers. In the headline, they're referring only generally to the polls that I had to go to a separate table to learn about. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. In the U.S., trust in the media was at just 41% prior to the barely-covert release of a bat virus with four amino acids added to it for improved transmissibility to humans. Where do you think it is now? June 30, 2020 - The latest Digital News Report landed recently. In it (perhaps predictably) was the sobering fact that trust levels in news media continue to slip. That report found that over the past year only 38% said they trusted the news most of the time. **That’s down 4% on last year**. They're going Out Of Business. Where we are is that nearly two thirds of those polled agreed that, regardless of the source, the news was made-up, slanted bullshit. Another article below, from last month, is headlined "With COVID Vaccine in Works, 1 in 5 Americans **_Doesn't Believe in Shots_**". The author used "_doesn't believe_" in place of "doesn't trust", to slur on the awakening subset of the populace who understands that vaccines have been weaponized against them. Another story below from the U.S., from April 2020, is headlined " **_Study_** : Nearly a third of Americans believe **_a conspiracy theory_** about the origins of the coronavirus". They started the headline with "study:" to give the subconscious of the reader to reject the whole thing with "oh, that's just one study!". The same technique can be seen in another story below from March 2020, headlined " **_Poll:_** Nearly Half Of U.S. Doesn't Trust Traditional Media To Deliver Accurate COVID-19 Information". "Conspiracy theory" is a general meme that you've been conditioned to believe. The subconscious of the wholly-credulous rube says  "oh, that's just a _conspiracy theory_!", and rejects it out of hand. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. The subhead of the article reads "A new Pew study finds 30 percent of Americans believe **scientists** created Covid-19. That isn’t what happened." The trigger-word "scientists" is used because all "scientists" are to be trusted, even those who genetically modify bat viruses so that they'll have improved transmissibility to humans. It's a blanket cover you're not supposed to look under, like "priests". The word "scientists" is general. Whereas "30 percent of Americans believe scientists from Harvard and Communist Red China created Covid-19 as a weapon of genocide and social control" is specific. Can you see how much more impactful that is? Great positive changes are occurring at every level of our reality. And those changes are increasing in speed and magnitude. **Jeff Miller, Brooklyn, New York, September 21, 2020** September 26, 2019 - Forty-one percent of Americans **trust** the mass media to report the news "fully, accurately and fair March 19, 2020 - Poll: **Nearly Half Of U.S. Doesn't Trust** Traditional Media To Deliver Accurate COVID-19 Information April 12, 2020 - Study: Nearly a third of Americans believe **_a conspiracy theory_** about the origins of the coronavirus A new Pew study finds **30 percent of Americans** believe **_scientists_** created Covid-19. **_That isn’t what happened._** April 24, 2020 - U.K. - Coronavirus: why public **trust is an issue** for news media **_but don’t trust those polls_** April 29, 2020 - U.K. - **_No_** , trust in the media **_has not_** collapsed because of Coronavirus June 7, 2020 - **_Why_** would _anyone_ **distrust** Anthony Fauci **_?_**        blogs.scientificamerican.com  June 30, 2020 - **Just 50%** of Americans plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine. **_Here’s_** how to win over the rest June 30, 2020 - The latest Digital News Report landed recently.
