"The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” 

J. Edgar Hoover



From Wikipedia:

Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance. They do this by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and actions. Dissonance is also reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying. 

It is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. 

A closely related term, cognitive disequilibrium, was coined by Jean Piaget to refer to the experience of a discrepancy between something new and something already known or believed.

Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.

In other words, when people have been programmed all day long with lies by the controlled media, upon hearing truths about their world the natural tendency is to discredit the source of the information, shut down their rational processes and desire other lie-programmed zombies to come alongside and reassure them that the lie-programming is true.

There is a point in a lie-programmed individual when the truth confronts such deeply held lies and programming that the individual will shut down and simply be overwhelmed. By feeding us lies all day long, the mainstream media has assured this reaction when one actually begins to learn the truths of this world.

I urge you to consider this and embrace the truth despite its discomfort.
