    Problem is the fake newsers can manipulate the masses and make them believe a lie.
    We are much like The Romans far as loving our Bread and Circuses.
    We put those we like on pedalsters.

    There are some pics on this site of people loading up gasoline in trash bags and putting them into the trunks of their cars. Reminds me of NBC staging that fiery Pinto rear-end collision.

    I imagine everyone recalls ABC editing the George Zimmerman 911 tape to remove the police asking him if he could tell the race of the other person (Trayvon Martin) so as to make Zimmerman's "He's black" statement sound like a spontaneous racist utterance.

    And yet people still believe...fervently. Violently. Ragefully.

    Is that the one where a card held held up with false info and all in the room but one agree till he finally agrees to see what they see even though he knows its false? Go along to get along. Or maybe just questions his own sanity?

    No, that's where they shock other people. They are prodded into doing things that conflict with their own conscience.

    Oh I think I saw that one too. I've seen a few of those kinds of test.

    The only thing more chilling than people doing that to each other is having someone decide that such an experiment (and the data gathered) would be a good idea.

    There's another point to some of the media stuff that's called The Hegelian Dialect. There are differing definitions of this term. The one I refer to states "The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. Hegel’s dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in the elites game and it holds this system in place. Through two opposing parties (left/right, white/black, conservative/liberal, democrat/republican, Christian/Muslim) control is gained as both parties reach the same destination, which is order through guided conflict or chaos. Opting our consciousness out is the key."

    I've heard it explained that much of the information we are fed is intended to elicit a specific, predetermined response. We are fed data, for example, to cause us to knee-jerk defend our ideological position in a manner that those in control of the information knew we would defend it, so as to achieve their intended result.

    I am not an expert on this stuff by any means.

    You can take it all the way to the last letter and it still doesn't suggest Trump.

    Someone on another forum said "Alexa is throttled too. Ask her how many illegal aliens have crossed in 2024. She only has data to 2015 or before."

    Does anyone here have an opinion of the New York Sun? I don't know that I've had them cross my path before, and I just got a subscription "invitation." It's behind a paywall.

    Yup. They’ll clean up her slate and make her a hero of some sort. Perhaps have her saving a family of “immigrants” from a cartel or something akin to that.
    Maybe even “unburden her past” and insist that she is a “me too’er” and was coerced into sleeping with Willie Brown.

    I guess that I’m just waiting for the Bidenesque type of character facade built on lies to come out.

    I think a lot of conservative sites are downloading as much material as they can before it is deleted by the censors. I hope so at least. This is again akin to the Nazis burning books that disagree with the point of view they wanted to project. Definitely not what the Founders would have wanted.
