Nearsighted: What The Elite Want You To See

by Mark Mullen

“We believe the picture painters of the mass media are artfully creating landscapes for us which deliberately hide the real picture.” – Gary Allen, author of None Dare Call It Conspiracy One of the most pressing problems facing America today is the constant bombardment by the progressives of misinformation and useless trivia. They want us to believe that everything we see is genuine. And many times, we are fooled by their jaundiced illusions of reality. The elite has taken over academia, journalism, and political parties to show us what they want us to believe. And like good magicians, they create powerful illusions of seemingly impossible things. They implore you to believe what you see as the absolute truth. Of course, what you see is not real. Good illusions demand deceptions which require you to focus your attention on what you see. But good deceptions have two parts – what you see and what you cannot see. Tired of being pushed to believe only what the elite show you? What The Elite Want You To See exposes the sleight of hand behind the progressives’ illusions. Topics covered ● The use of mathematics by progressives as a weapon to convince you their numbers add up to the absolute truth. ● Horse race reporting over substantive journalism. ● A hijacked and destroyed educational system. ● Gun violence, the Second Amendment, and mass murders and the real problem. ● The progressives’ attack on the common man, religion, climate change, and God. The elite control all aspects of America life. They are master magicians who understand how to manipulate the populace through deception. Illusions so clever that they hide the truth right before your eyes, just at a distance that requires you to squint to see reality. This book offers you the prescription you need to see the deceptions and better understand the world around you. "Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery." Benjamin Disraeli, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

About the author

Mark is an award-winning author born in Philadelphia and educated at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.



After spending 35 years as a leader in the public sector, Mark has turned his attention toward examining and writing on America's cultural and social issues.

His opinionated, muckraking style of writing exposes the underbelly of business and political practices. While he explores mainly American economics, business, education, and politics, Mark’s focus is on the difficulties of getting by in America, especially for the middle class. Sociological patterns underlying business, cultural, and political behaviors are analyzed through a critical, sarcastic, and sometimes humorous lens.

America, We Have the Country We Want, is a set of centrist observations and reflections intended to entertain and enlighten with commentary on some of today's most talked about social issues: business, education, society, religion & guns, and the media. Mark shares why he believes Americans are comfortable with the familiar, even when the familiar is bad for us.

Mark's newest book, America We Need a Raise examines America's disappearing middle class and offers a set of remedies to offset poor political and business decision making. Middle class income continues to shrink while the prices of commodities and services grow. Higher paying middle class skilled jobs have been replaced with low paying retail and service work. It doesn’t have to be this way. Mark’s proposed solutions could vastly improve the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans and their descendants while at the same time strengthen America’s economy.
