Jimbo pulled your referenced FR post.
Apparently, it's just "trash" to cite analysts who think a collapsing system will collapse.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

OK.
I guess I don’t understand the definition of trash sufficiently well. Sigh.
Apologies for my ignorance, I guess.
Who started that thread anyway? I don’t recall nor the title.
If you want to be convincing to a skeptic, use rock-solid credible primary sources (e.g. actual transcripts from *.edu *.gov or major news companies), stick with hard boring data, build timelines and keep the theories separate from the data so that the readers can draw their own conclusions first and then compare them to yours.
If you just want to be persuasive to a casual reader, then stay away from the buzz words that come with their own baggage and simply present your own views.
Any hoot, that's my two cents ... I shall now retire into the background.

Hmmmmm
I guess I’m too ignorant for some wisdom.
Hmmmmmmm . . .
You are by far a better one than I.
I don’t know that my mission is THAT much
to THAT MUCH of a skeptic.
I think my mission is more to the teachable.
The quotes are—by far MOSTLY—from “rock-solid credible primary sources.” Yet, they get the same responses from most of the same folks.
At this point in time, I don’t know how workable it is to keep buzz words from data, evidence etc. or from particular views.
Folks tend to deny that parallel words are related.
Folks tend to deny that phrases equal the words they equal.
Folks tend to deny that international conglomerates have anything to do with globalism.
Folks tend to deny that UN treaties abrogating USA sovereignty have anything to do with globalism.
Folks tend to deny neon handwriting on every 3rd wall.
OThuga recently spoke of a “NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER.” I suspect there are those hereon telling themselves that he can’t possibly be talking about the NWO; all is well; walk on by.
What could my feeble efforts possibly do against such systemic, bone marrow levels of denial?
I think I’d spend 100’s of hours toward a sub-atomic particle’s worth of change or benefit to the FREEPERS who refuse to wake up.
There is ONE option that MIGHT be worth the time. IF I can get 24 FREEPERS on the END TIMES list or otherwise, who will join me in fasting and praying—whether a meal a day; all but liquids; all but fruit and veggies; beef; whatever they are led to fast—for 7 days—FASTING AND PRAYING toward the awakening of the say top 12 social stars FREEPERS who currently deny such—to these issues, THEN I’ll join them.
I think ONLY HOLY SPIRIT can awaken such folks from such terminal denial.
I no longer think reasoning can do it. I used to think it could.
You have every right to retire in a list of ways. You have given gallons of blood sweat and tears to the cause.
However, this issue is far more important to the freedoms FREEPERS cherish so dearly—and to the USA as well as the Christian Church . . . than a dozen KLINTOON stinking piles of stuff was. The Klintoons, as you know, were just a temporarily important-to-their-globalist-cohorts sub-set of TRYANNICAL GLOBALISM/COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM.
And if such FR social stars cannot or will not pay attention to your wisdom, mine hasn’t a candle’s chance in a hurricane.
THANKS TONS for the honor of your reply.

Love how you put that.
Some, even on our side, have nothing but buzzwords to offer.
I read this article on 4/1 and copied and emailed a comment from a poster there to someone on 4/2 in the morning. I saw your post of it and thought I'd go ahead and link to the post because it was so unusual and IT IS GONE - no trace of it.
Fortunately, I saved it and can post it here (the poster's screen name was something like three card sloth):
"I don't expect things to change for the better anymore. There is a reason behind the larger events and trends in today's world, and those who understand and follow that reason will not let things go in any other direction.
Do you think that the West's leaders suddenly became stupid, corrupt and/or venal in the last 50 years? No, there have always been good and bad in our capitals; today is no different.
Do you think that Japan suddenly forgot everything that built them before 1990, and just can't get it together nowadays? Doubtful.
So then, what's going on? Why are all of the advanced nations declining while jobs and wealth are funneled into the third world?
The answer begins July 16th, 1945. The Trinity test in New Mexico.
With the development of the a-bomb, and later the far more powerful h-bomb, the best and brightest who advise presidents and prime ministers came to a rather logical conclusion: In a world where a single device can destroy a city, we can't live in a world of "haves" and "have nots".
Knowledge and technology will not stay contained. The bright boys figured out that eventually, the ability to make these bombs would end up in the hands of the undeterable among us... those with nothing to lose. And then the world would start losing cities.
So they decided that the world would have to be re-engineered. We couldn't have anybody with nothing to lose anymore. At first, they tried bringing the bottom up. For two or three decades up until the 70's they tried to spread knowledge and skills to the third world, but this effort was largely futile, most of the lessons didn't take.
That left them with one choice -- bring the top down and the bottom up by directly transferring whole industries overseas. Hollow out the West (and the East if they grew too big like Japan) for the sake of humanity.
They obviously couldn't announce this agenda, the masses might object. But they sure got really good at selling the idea in Washington, London, Brussels, et al... 'cause every leader of every party starts following their plan as soon as they get any real power.
Why do you think that every Western nation keeps on exporting their jobs? Blind belief in free trade? Nah... insurance payment that (hopefully) will deter a future madman with a bomb.
Why do you think that every Western nation refuses to deal with their economic problems and growing deficits? Political logjams? A little, but mostly in the name of managed decline.
Why do you think that the leaders of every Western nation jumped onto the AGW bandwagon? A growing green awareness? Nah... wealth transfer and goodwill payments to the third world.
Why do you think that every Western nation suddenly decided to import millions from the third world? More labor? Nah... they are unwitting future human shields against aggression from their old countries.
I think this is the reason that the great global forced leveling is ongoing, and the reason no one seems to want to stop it: Fear.
Nothing but the potential death of millions can explain why leaders of every stripe abandon their beliefs, left, right, and center, as soon as they reach the top. None of them behave any different from the other, and convergences like this don't occur by accident. There is a goal, there is a plan, and it is seen by them as more important than your hopes, dreams, or living standards.
Nuclear blackmail and the deaths of millions is the only agenda I can see that's big enough, universal enough, to command such allegiance from our leaders."
This comment caught my eye because throughout this whole BO nightmare starting with all DC pols, SCOTUS, SOS in all the states, etc. ignored Obama's lack of bona fides, his czars and on and on and I have wondered what in the world could have scared or corrupted all of them who, by ignoring it, have dumped us in the sh#t.
Luckily there is another reference to the above post on another web site forum; a "MRBIGMUTTS" who is commenting on this same article you posted and is urging everyone to read the guy's comments so he saw it, too.
VERY ODD that it is gone. What's your take on this?
End Post
What do you think given that you have been onto OWO for 45 years? Ever see anything like this reasoning?
I'm bookmarking this to come back and give it a thorough read as it looks like an important thread - I've only glanced through it but will have time later to read it.
It may have been a factor for some in the camp.
However, I’m convinced that globalism has been around for at least 200 years . . . some claim 400 years.
Certainly satan has been strategizing it for millenia.
Their conscious goal is raw power and greed.
Then enter the critters that have convinced them that world population must be reduced to 200 million to save humanity and earth.
I’ve never been able to relate to people who get off on having power over others. To me it is a burden, not something to be desired. But I don’t like being on the receiving end either. Globalists really are evil.
Thank you for your encouragement, dear rdb3!
Well put.
Agreed.
I prefer to avoid leadership.
However, I’d much rather lead than tolerate incompetence destroying innocent folks who don’t deserve the destructiveness of vain-glorious arrogance and stupidity and/or evil.
Lead, follow or get the blazes out of the way is often an apt exhortation.
The 'scheme' has been in the works from the very moment that Lucifer (the created) decided to defy God (the Creator).
If you just could just get every Freeper to wake up.
GiovannaNicoletta: "For some, they truly are blind to these things..."
The Holy Ghost is in full charge of who sees and who does not.
LibertyRocks: "I’ll post again in response when I unravel the thoughts I’m having trouble expressing at the moment!"
Am having the same discombobulated thought processes as well. Maybe it's for a reason.
Quix, after reading hundreds of your posts, it truly appears to me that you are very frustrated because you can't get the seeds to grow in the minds of many long time Freepers. FRiend, you NEVER will be able to do so. It's not your job. Your job is to plant the seeds and you have done a yoeman's job of that and I thank you and thank the Lord for your efforts.
I felt led to prepare my neighborhood for the upcoming unrest. Some got on board from scripture, some by current events. Others did only after reading the book "One Second After". I use whatever means at my disposal to bring them together. Presently we can sustain the entire neighborhood for 6 months, God willing.
Today there is a group picking vegetables from a large farm 40 miles north of here. Tomorrow we will begin canning. The seas could swallow us up tonight and it would all be for nought. Nevertheless, the Lord moved me to get us prepared and I am trying to do so.
I am going to pray about your seeming frustration and that the Lord remove that burden which is not yours in the first place. Keep planting seeds Bro. Quix but remember, you have no power to unplug ears nor open eyes. That is the job of the Holy Ghost.
May God bless and keep you all.
QUIX -I do not always agree with you. But I have to say your not too far from the truth. I had 3 dreams that have come true. I do not seek them nor want them unless by God. Since the Dreams have come true. To me thats God. Two were about singular people. They both died. I prayed for them Before death. The third was on the night of the New Year’s Eve of 2009. It showed me the tea parties also the people for turning on one another and fellow americans. There was alot more would be too long now. But ends with Obama being in rural road with secret service surrounding him As I am looking at him. While that is happening I see paratroopers coming into view in the sky. They are in green army camouflage uniforms. Then they landed. And I woke up. I looked up the uniform almost every nation has them China, Russia or USA. I know God wants us to Pray continually.
Some say they’ve been scheming such for 400 years.
The ‘scheme’ has been in the works from the very moment that Lucifer (the created) decided to defy God (the Creator).
INDEED, INDEED.
TOO OFTEN, AT GREAT . . . COST.
At least, their blood won't be on my hands.
GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL WHO LOVE AND SEEK HIM.
Not all “old” Freepers have their head in the sand. Some are just not as vocal. Follow what the Lord leads you to do and leave the rest to him. Your reward is laid up elsewhere. THX Quix
EXTREMELY WELL PUT. AND I AGREE WITH YOU ENTIRELY.
GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD WORK.
THANKS FOR YOUR VERY TIMELY ENCOURAGEMENT. MUCH NEEDED.
LUBBRO.
