The magic of Big Money in overcoming common sense

The biggest frauds of recent decades have all involved Big Money overcoming common sense. 

Enough Big Money and, it is clear, people will believe what they know to be impossible - indeed they are positively eager and zealous to believe what they know to be impossible. 

A clear and uncontroversial example is the Theranos Fraud. 

I watched a speech by the alleged-CEO (but possibly just a puppet-front?) claiming they would develop a way of removing blood from veins without breaking the skin. 

This is obviously impossible - but most of the talk was about what enormous advantages there would be from such a breakthrough - how marvellous it would be if you could get blood out from blood vessels without needing to make a hole. 

The reported fact that "so many" people invested loads of money into this scheme (albeit mostly other peoples' money) - plus liberal helpings of pseudo-scientific gobbledegook - made people overcome what was obvious common sense, and assume that the impossible was actually possible.   

But Theranos was a negligible sideshow - one country and hundreds of millions of dollars, compared with the global fraud of hundreds of trillions due to the CO2 Climate scam, and the "AI" scam.

(Both actually occult parasitic totalitarian social engineering.) 

Yet, if it wasn't for the mind-distorting effect of Giga-dollar-money (and the vast forces of personnel and propaganda that it buys); both the CO2-Climate and "AI" claims would have very obviously failed the test of common sense.  

But when it comes to Climate and "AI"; the Bigness of the Money combines with the Bigness of the claims stuns people into a passive state of bewildered and gullible acceptance...

(i.e. A species of PSYOP.)

Surely (people infer) "they" couldn't be making such unimaginably, indeed un-believably, immense claims; if there was not a solid basis for them? 

Well, yes "they" have-done, can, and still do Exactly That - and indeed the process has become routine.

"Business" as usual... 

Enough money and resources - and people will believe... Anything.
