  1. "This is the most important lesson of #scams: that no matter how well-attuned you are to #cons, you can still be #conned. The belief that you are immune to a con actually makes you a mark. It's for that reason that I recount the tales of how I got #scammed – to help other people understand that being sophisticated, alert and even paranoid is no guarantee that you will be #safe."

    I believe that the largest contributing factor is the decades long plan to dumb down the population. When you have a population that is undereducated and they don't have the necessary critical skills to discern facts and to analyze what they are being told, they are more easily manipulated; otherwise, #conned.

    Throw in some propaganda machines, and you can sow misinformation, distrust, chaos, and conspiracies, and they will take hold. Then, you can develop a herd of sheep that will follow you while ignoring their own self-interest.

    That is what we now have in this country.
