I went down that rabbit hole when I was trying to understand why the far right was interested in supporting Israel while simultaneously being anti-semitic and working alongside Nazis. Most people in the middle or left don’t understand how crazy this is. Many members of our government are literally trying to enact some biblical nestradamus bullshit to bring forth the end of times as described in the book of Revelations.
I’m a liberal Jew so it took a lot of reading to understand what the fuck they wanted end times to come for, but I guess it is so that they are then saved? As a non-Christian this seems weird and obviously cult-like but here we are.
100% is for me and my friend who tried it. I know how to lucid dream but I haven’t done it in 10 years because it is exhausting. I’ve never met anybody who actually knows how to lucid dream who hasn’t stopped for the same reason. You never hear of anybody doing it constantly.
For those interested, I just summoned something to read in my dreams. Magically operating a newspaper wasn’t enough to clue me in but not being able to read it was what made me become lucid. It took about 2 weeks of practice before I was getting more aware in my dreams.
Certain missing police tapes are a good example. Why can they keep the school tapes from the people? Surely the suspect is dead.
And as much as I liked President Obama, he did set the precedent by targeting and killing a (bad) US citizen.
I agree with you and have studied this from my role as an intelligence official and former interrogator. The lawyer who prosecuted the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials stated that the real problem wasn’t the evil but the apathy of the masses that allowed a few evil people to do big evil things.
The fact of the matter is that human reactions to certain information are well known from our centuries of study of propaganda and marketing and psychology. At this point it is easy for the government to manipulate messaging so that the people are misled enough to allow evil.
It is the simple stuff and even smart people are influenced by it over time. It is a well studied phenomenon. No one is immune. For example, Trump saying that he has the most transparent government ever while specifically taking away rights and doing things in secret.
The propaganda tool has been efficient for our governments, especially since the advent of the internet. Also, keep in mind that roughly half of the population has a two-digit IQ. Some people will never admit that they are dumb and therefore will never admit that they have been deceived.
The fact that US citizens are scared to stand up to their government because the government police will abuse them shows where we are as a society. We are deeply fascist and the illusion of democracy hasn’t been functioning in Congress for quite a while. The illusion of the checks and balances has worn thin as well.
So I agree with you. Our society is diseased. But it’s not necessarily the faults of the individuals.
Good to know. I thought it would be a hopeless fight. I’m considering driving my car through boarder checkpoints multiple times to document that their “drug dogs” felt differently than the one at the Veterans Affairs that they use to harass veterans with cannabis because it’s federal land.
It died with “drug dogs.” I am currently fighting the department of veterans affairs federal police because they bypass the 4th amendment with a drug dog. They found nothing because I don’t do drugs, but the fake dog hits need to stop.
The government has abused its power to classify and protect information. It shouldn’t take newspaper investigations to find out where our tax money is going.
I still haven’t seen the uvalde tapes. What authority are they using to keep public information from the public and who granted the police this power?
It’s weird that I generally have been following this but have no idea who she is. Do you have any place for me to start reading?
I have no idea what you are talking about. I was arrested when I was protesting in El Paso. They just brought trays of slop to us in our cells three times a day. It looked close to an '80s elementary school lunch but slightly lower quality. It really wasn’t reasonable. I was found not guilty because Americans are supposed to be able to protest. The FBI felt otherwise when they cut off part of the tape proving my innocence but got caught doing so without consequence.
Good! They saved me when I was charged for an ER visit. I’m a veteran so they legally have to charge the government. That didn’t stop equafax from ruining my credit despite my legally correct explanation. The consumer financial protection bureau put them in their place and I’m back to perfect credit.
TLDR: Our government is for sale and two corporations apparently give instructions to the entire IRS and tax system because they pay a “subscription fee” to our politicians.
All as designed by the supreme court.
Look at this guy moving the goal posts. I travel through time all the time but now I have to be stable?
