Oz Head tells us explicitly to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

We have had over thirty-years of flat wages, low to no taxation on multi-national corporations and wealthy individuals and families, etc. There is a permanent funnel sucking wealth to the top and it is a self-serving cycle that may destroy itself, but takes us along with it.

With the kind of power and wealth being amassed, who in their right mind thinks that all the media and political rhetoric and claptrap is much more than a means to simulate and manipulate a conglomerate version of a superstitious reality that serves to create complacency, self-doubt and soften the blow of systemic injustice?

Shhhh!
