How have we Americans let ourselves be so mind controlled in our media and governmental institutions and systems? Where did we go astray?

Not saying there weren’t bad guys… I’m asking where is/was the pivot point in our consciousness when we let others tell us who/what we are and how to think?

We must wake up to the reality of our spiritual nature. We are not only materialistic beings. Our thoughts are creative and have had impact, for good or ill. In this case, our thinking we are less than we are contributed to the situation.
