Yeah, I agree with that....too much partisanship and I need to point it out better when the right does it as well. People are so dug in. I know because I used to be that way myself. I spent thousands of hours on the blogisphere defending the neocons and that POS Bush crime family....the stench of that era remains with me to this day. The name of the game is "divide and conquer" and until we figure that out? We are going to be at each other's throats while the puppetmasters pulling the strings laugh and drain us dry. If everyone could see that and try to find common ground, we would see that our differences are not so big of a chasm that can't be breached. They still need our compliance but not for much longer with the robotic age coming upon us and believe me when I say this....they have been preparing and working hard to fight us should their "property" ever decide to revolt. They have exotic weapons that would blow your mind.
Puppet masters is a great word to describe them. I often feel like most people that talk politics are acting like puppets. It is a dirty feeling knowing that many of these politicians are just playing us. I get involved in these pointless arguments like I'm doing with SJ right now and it is only feeding their objective to "Divide and conquer"... I don't like being a part of that yet I do it. I must be bored.
After I had my epiphany, I ran the gamut of emotions...sadness, utter depression, feelings of hopelessness and then the best thing that ever happened to me did...I got pissed off and I became determined and a fire was lit under my ass. I put my TV on the curb with a note that said "Works, Don't Want It" and I started reading, downloading PDF files of books, I started listening to documentaries and lectures of accredited researchers and while I will admit that it took a good 6 months of solid reading and research to throw off the programming? I did it....it was so ingrained in me. I totally stopped posting anywhere for almost two years. When I did come back, it was to reveal the truth and history about the Federal Reserve (which is the true power behind the political scene) and the ones that own it and how they also control the IMF, BIS and World Bank...how this fiat currency actually works. I read John Perkins work of "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman" and he is definitely leans to the left but not in bad way that he was socialist...but the deal was that he was in the game and he took a big risk on coming out. That book played a HUGE part in helping me connect the dots. If you want to watch the best documentary ever done that so saliently describes the past 80 plus years, watch "JFK To 9/11....Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick"....it is free on youtube. I have watched it 14 times and the reason I did was because there was so much information to digest and because it is so compelling, I would get engrossed and forget to jot down notes. IMHO it is the best history lesson there is.
I don't give a shit if you lean left (or if some lean right) because if you have a good heart? We share a kinship. Hell, on some things I lean left ....I lean right on other things but what I do have in my heart is a desire to help my fellow man because they have no clue as to what has been done to them or how they have been lied to.Don't feel bad about getting caught up in the game and defending what you believe because I have done it myself when my whole motive was to share what I have learned by the heavy lifting I have done by those that did the heavy lifting for me. Some habits are hard to break. I know that when I am attacked for posting the things I do (sometimes by both the left and the right) I go into "defense mode" as well. Good on ya.
