What is going on with the world?
Self | 7/25/2018 | Paul Rivers

Posted on 07/25/2018 12:40:34 PM PDT by spacewarp

I am really trying to figure things out.

I feel like I'm in a roller coaster ride. I'm really confused at this point.

I read many sources of news. I always come back to FR for sanity checks. But, today, I'm just lost. I don't get it.

In the last few years, we've gone from disagreements to literal gaslighting. I read an article, and the article gets things 180 degrees wrong, and there are hundreds of comments replying that anyone disagreeing with it is insane, idiots, moronic, Nazi, racist, mysoginistic, a bot or any other name they can come up with.

I read a document, I see something that makes no sense. I question the "doctrine" and I'm immediately pummelled as if I'm not even human.

Examples:

Reading the recent release of the redacted FISA warrant, I read on page 1 that Carter Page is an agent of the Russian Federation. O.K. I guess they might have reason to see that if they were looking, and thought that would be the right way to approach it. I've seen Carter Page and know full well the Russians tried to recruit him years ago, and called him an idiot and refused to work with him. He then worked with the FBI to bring them down. So, now the claim he was an agent isn't holding up well. Then, I keep reading through and get to page 4. On page 4, I see the statement that he was susceptible to recruitment by the Russians. Ummmm. Excuse me? Is he an agent or a potential recruit? In other words, between page 1 and 4, they managed to discredit themselves. For that, I've been vilified on Twitter for even ASKING.

I go a bit further, and I see them talking about the dossier. I know it was written by Christopher Steele. He didn't actually SEE the things he wrote. He just compiled it (bought some of it from Russian sources, made up most of the rest. Had one fact in the whole thing, that Carter Page actually went to Russia, but the reason and the accusations were wrong). Then I see the piece where it talks about a news article, and lo and behold the article in Yahoo "news" is co-written by Michael Isakoff and Christopher Steele. And that's "proof" that the dossier is valid?

The fury and the rage and the disgusting attacks I got were impossible for even asking about that one.

Today, I was going to the stories about the illegal release of the Cohen tapes that were percipitated by the Gestapo-like raid on his office and seizure of all his tapes and records and then leaking to the press by Mueller's team. First off, I've been called a Nazi so many times for even asking about the legality of a raid on an attorney's office without a crime related to their investigation that I figure at this point, I deserve my own salute. But, I listened to the release of the tape several times last night. Each time I listened to the distraction of the disasterous FISA warrant release, I heard Trump basically telling Cohen to put all payments on the record. Don't pay cash. No, no, no, no. Check. I then read the mainstream press (I decided to hurt my head and go to the WaPo) and see that apparently, Guliani and I were the only ones hearing the same thing. Because they are claiming what I clearly heard was not what I heard.

How can two sides have SUCH abject polar opposite views of what is true or not?

[Caution apply tin hat at this point]

Asteroids

we are 1,000 years past average for an ELE (Extinction Level Event) The major governments are aware and are planning for the survival of the elite and the oligarchy. (look up denver airport underground) Mass deflection and misdirection is required to keep the masses occupied.

We are being bombarded with time wasting white noise to keep us from uprising and to divide us if an uprising begins. Turn a couple phrases and we are fighting each other as opposed to those at the top. Divided we are weak.

https://www.space.com/41260-near-earth-asteroid-detection-video-nasa.html

This is an earth cycle for regeneration nothing else a few humans make it through (Gobekli Tepe references this from 12,000 years ago) The Rich and powerful want to be that few.

so in short ignore the distraction and enjoy as much as you possibly can while you can!

Oh yeah if the Yellowstone caldera doesn’t get us first

One side is lying constantly and a great many people believe the lies. On some level I know why...what is collectively called “the Left” has been doing this sort of thing for 170 years since Marx published his Communist Manifesto. But on another level, I truly don’t know why Trump has been targeted this way. Why him? Why now? Is it because Leftists think the time has finally come to overthrow the U.S. as we have known it? Something bigger than just mindless, unwarranted hatred for one man seems to be afoot these days, but what it is, is difficult to grasp. Or maybe it’s too hard for my head to acknowledge what my instincts keep telling me. Those who say we are in the beginning stages of a civil war are right, I think.

“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”

One God, anyway. The dark entities are in a big rush to construct their own gallows.

It goes to show that they are indeed capable of building something useful.

Just when everyone is resigned to the certainty of a terrible ending, then comes the dramatic plot twist. Classic patterns in all of this.

Have a little faith. Stock up on popcorn. Look forward to graduation day.

It is much more complex than anyone imagines.
There is a battle going on between at least 4 Titans for the future economic and social control of the globe.

99.999% of us are just pawns in the game of life on both sides of the political fence.

The UN: Who wants global control over everything.
Political Elite: Who want to stay in power forever.
The MSM : Who want to stay rich and stay relevant before they collapse.
Key Billionaires: Who want to mold the globe into their image of Earth’s future.

Antifa, BLM, Environmentalists, NRA, Pro-Life, Pro-Abortion...
They are all pawns being used by the Titans to get what they want.

I’m right with you, except I try not to argue with people about any of this anymore. “There are none so blind as those who will not see”. The only thing we can really do is do everything we can to make sure these insane Democrats do not win either chamber of Congress in November.

Got to following Kurt Schlicter after his articles here, and then started following and listening to Dan Bongino. Lots of good info, but the vitriol is insane.

I believe that you are, unfortunately, correct about the left will become more and more dangerous. The support and contributions that the MSM gives to their issues makes them even more dangerous, as well as helps them to feel “right”, and that their outlooks are legitimate and reasonable.

Our only hope is that they go so far off the rails, that SOME Democrats and moderate liberals (is there such a thing?), will see the insanity and elect to head in a more conservative direction.

Congratulations on the little one! That is SUCH a cute age. It is hard to think about what the world might become in her lifetime. The most important thing you can do is to do your very best to demonstrate and teach her the types of ideals you hope will be everlasting. Provide her with guidance and choices. Help her to see the value in personal responsibility.

the truth is difficult to find these days because the entire fake stream media is devote to publishing nothing but lies and propaganda ... that being the case, my initial position is I believe nothing they say when i first read one of their articles ... i also automatically discount any story without a named source and give it no further thought.

if you really want to know what’s going on, you have to actively seek out the truth: continue to come to FR, read brietbart.com, and watch the Tucker Carlson Show on FNC; optionally, The Ingraham Angle on FNC and Hannity on FNC ...

If you think it is bad now...wait until we get closer to the mid-terms. Also look to see people in front of Kavanaugh’s house giving him grief when he is closer to being appointed to the SC.

The 45 goals for the commies. I think on a few have not been achieved. The latest one..destroy the FBI.

President Trump has removed almost all political anxiety.

I no longer worry about the lamestream accusations, the disappointment in the democrats mental instability, nor even what happens around the world.

Just take a look ...

Everything Candidate Trump has spoken about has (almost all) come to pass.

The prosecution and imprisonment of the previous administration(s) will come about after about 7 1/2 years into the greatest time America has EVER seen

Relax, warp ... everything's all right

I think the reason Trump is being so vilely targeted is that no one on the left, nor the MSM, even considered that he could win. They assumed they were all going to go happily down their way to have a “global” economy, open borders, tax the rich, free stuff for everyone, and on and on.

They NEVER thought he would win. They are stunned that their dreams for the future were dashed, and it doesn’t look like they will get a chance at them in the near future.

I believe this continues to be stirred up by 0bama and his supporters. Sadly, a lot of them are still in federal government positions and/or have access or influence with the media and other corrupt types.

Maybe I am naïve, but I think this will stop short of a civil war, when those on the left realize that they will lose, and there WILL be bloodshed. Then it may take another generation to work things out, going forward.

btw, you’re completely wasting your time engaging with leftist fool online ... it’s impossible to penetrate their ignorant righteousness ... it’s pointless to try and they’ll suck your energy dry if you waste your time doing that ... life is WAY to waste any of your time engaging leftist in any fashion whatsoever ... your time is best spent in educating yourself to the facts and studying the history of things that have failed (socialism, communism, etc.) and the things that have worked (capitalism, free markets, free economies, etc.) ... it will give you a legitimate basis for forming your own opinions, and prepared in the unlikely event you encounter an open-minded person ... also be sure to read “Atlas Shrugged”, “Animal Farm”, and “1984”, and “Witness”
