Horrifying question, yes. But think it through.
If you knew who was going to win the game and the exact final score, would you even bother to watch?
How would you feel if you learned every play was scripted, every injury was planned, and everyone, from the sportscasters to the coaches, to the referees, was in on it?
Basically you would be watching a movie, not an honest contest of the best athletes and coaches using their finest strategies to win the most coveted prize in all of professional sports.
What if you learned that all of football is rigged simply to extract money from the fans using sports betting? Fans invest their hard-earned money hoping their special insights will get them ahead and now you find that the only people who make money on betting are the insiders who know the script.
Any talk about “the fix” is ruthlessly shut down, to the point where honest sportswriters are demonized, discredited and even prosecuted.
Parents want their sons to become involved in the art of athletic competition with the hopes of one day getting a rewarding career in football. They would be horrified to learn that every player is pre-selected for every high school team and college team, and brought into the NFL knowing that they’re simply acting a part, and not competing fairly at all.
I know it’s sacrilege to even bring up this idea, and I am making zero accusations about the Super Bowl or the NFL.
Strange Ending to the Super Bowl This Year
I have found that an analogy is a great way to wake up people to reality. If someone would be horribly upset to learn about a problem in one area of life, why would they ignore a similar problem elsewhere?

In this case I’m really discussing the entire political system in the United States and the rest of the world. We think that we are witnessing a fair contest of individuals vying for political office, from local school boards and prosecutors, to state legislators, to House and Senate officials.
Now President Trump and Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E. team have completely blown the lid on the Deep State in just a few days of data capture and analysis. Everything we thought we knew about how our country has been run over the last 20 years is being called into question.
We are seeing taxpayer funds that were supposed to be used for emergency relief being funnelled into illegal immigrants for the purposes of controlling elections. International aid is being diverted into the pockets of corrupt organizations, terrorists, foreign leaders, and then kicked back to political parties.
The bureaucrats tasked with protecting our money don’t even show up to work, or, when they do, brag about playing video games all day while collecting a big paycheck.
But this is not just about DOGE and what they are finding in USAID or the EPA. It is becoming apparent that every aspect of our political lives is being rigged to the benefit of a vast group of special interests, including Big Pharma, Big Food, and the Military Industrial Complex. The goal is to make billions selling unhealthy food, make more billions trying to cure sick Americans, and use our tax money to fight endless wars.
Any objection is met with overwhelming force – lawfare, censorship, character assassination, and even real assassination attempts. The DOGE team has shown us that the news media is being paid by the government to control every story. Our tax money is going to political candidates and elected officials.
