Synopsis

What if I told you…

• You don’t live in a democracy?
• You don’t legally own that money in your bank account?
• It’s no big deal as 97% of money is make-believe anyway.
• The most profitable business is not drugs but conflict?
• All faiths are genuine, but every religion is a scam?
• And those are just for starters... There’s plenty more inside.

Maybe we’re not actually lied to—well, not that often anyway. They’re a lot smarter than that. We are more likely to be seduced with spin, half-truths, and soothing sound bites. The few unpalatable deals, events, or shenanigans that do sometimes surface and see the light of day all get a swift state funeral, decently hidden behind firmly closed establishment doors. Much that is illegal, immoral, and unethical is swiftly brushed under the carpet of establishment respectability. Mindless apathy and national stupor are cultivated by those in the driving seat, who stealthily grasp yet more power and prosper. If this sounds over the top, like some conspiracy theory, then come on inside, and prepare yourself for a few big surprises.

This book seeks to level the playing field. It deciphers the tangled enigmas of everyday life. Have you ever considered how gerrymandering undermines our so-called democracy, how finance and banks leverage both power and politics, what toxic tactics are shared by organized religion and commerce, how fake news can be so effective, or what on earth is Tweedism? If you would like to know, then here you’ll find the answers

In brief, this book, What You Don’t Know About What You Think You Do, highlights some of the many deceits practised upon us all every day. It brings modern life’s fine print under the spotlight. Turns out there are a few terms and conditions that we never knew we had signed up to.

If you want the insider-information on the fake world that surrounds us all today, on tricky bank systems, fake news and the controlling role of religion and our spoof democracies, then click the purchase button above – and do it now before it slips your mind – again.
