Thomas Jefferson's appreciation of Knowledge

I've been asked, "What's the good of knowing information that is being kept hidden by the government and controlled media when we can't do anything about it?"  It's a good question, and I've given lots of thought to it.

Others may not agree, but I think we owe it to ourselves to keep well informed.  Isn't it better to know the truth than to ignore the facts being presented to us by those who know from first-hand experience what is happening and are warning and informing us? (Such as the warning by President Eisenhower in his final address to the nation upon leaving the White House. He was never more serious. See this at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY‎   (Now his great-granddaughter Laura Eisenhower is speaking about all that has been hidden from us re. UFOs, 9/11, etc.)

If we refuse to listen, we are like ostriches with our heads in the sand. I treasure the wise words of Thomas Jefferson, who understood deep down how important the principle of knowledge is, even if he never heard a word about UFOs, ETs, the military/industrial revolution, the Bilderbergs, the NSA or MK-ULTRA.

I think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be devised, for the preservation of freedom and happiness...Preach, my dear Sir, a crusade against ignorance; establish and improve the law for educating the common people. Let our countrymen know that the people alone can protect us against these evils [tyranny, oppression, etc.] and that the tax which will be paid for this purpose is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us [and enslave us] if we leave the people in ignorance.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.     --Thomas Jefferson

As Laura Eisenhower now tells us, from a position of informed knowledge:

Since my great grandfather first spoke of it more than 50 years ago, the Military-Industrial Complex has thrived on official state secrecy, and even as disclosure happens, it will most likely be done in a manipulated way, never fully revealing why secrecy has flourished and what has been done behind our back for all of these years. Yet, disclosure is inevitably happening among us, and if we can understand and integrate other valuable truths, we will be protected against disclosure being used to introduce false concepts that will draw us further into the web of deceit. Fifty years after President Eisenhower warned the American people about the Military-Industrial Complex, we must confront the fact that much of what has been happening in secret has created an inevitable future drama, for they have been spending trillions of our tax dollars on projects that only serve their elitist mentality. These include a secret space program..., the targeting of individuals that they perceive to be a threat, HAARP, psychotronic weapons, deep underground military bases, and false flag events like 9/11 to draw us further into a police state.  ... We must strive to soften it all, restore our world, and return the power to Truth. Their lust for our powerlessness and blind faith is further exacerbated by their use of mind control and micro-chips that do not allow individuals to access their inner voice....our TV sets keep us locked in a lower mind-set obsessed with the lives of others and consumerism. The nerve toxins of chemtrails keep us in a state of nervous system disorder, as we also are infected emotionally and psychically by delusional feelings, alongside a deep and powerful longing to be free, because things are just not right.

Like Laura Eisenhower, we the people also know things are "just not right." No matter what our political leanings, we ALL feel this.  We need to stop believing all the political claptrap of both parties and start listening to the truth-tellers among us who have no ax to grind, no power to protect and no self-serving interest in money or fame.  All they want is to get the truth to the people.  For the sake of our children and grandchildren, and all future generations, we need to listen to them.
