There is just a lot of totally bogus, or at the very least suspect of being bogus, information out there, and not all of it is on the side of the evil ones. Some of it is on our side, too, or maybe it could be just another front – a “disinformation” front – in the hotly contested war for world domination by the forces of evil against the forces of good, just made to look like it is on our side. I suppose that, either way, the effect would be the same.
Here’s an example of the latter. You probably know the story…
- Trump invoked the Insurrection Act before he left office.
- The military has been in control since then.
- Many people have been arrested.
- Much is being done in the background that is invisible to those of us who choose to not see it.
- Trust the plan.
- Stay the course.
- etc., etc, etc.
The above is the most reasonable part, but the story doesn’t end there. There’s more…
- No planet in our solar system is uninhabited.
- Anti-gravity technology exists but has been suppressed.
- We have had people on Mars for decades.
- There is a multi-planet alliance that is working together.
- Free energy technology exists but has been suppressed.
- There exist Star Trek-like curative “med-beds”, based upon suppressed alien technology that can even “regrow missing limbs”, but hopefully not in the center of your forehead. I guess they can control that sort of thing. Of course, if the beds do exist and are controlled by the Deep State, then why does RBG not still exist, as well, but let us not ask inconvenient questions, okay?
- Many of the people whom we are seeing are either actors or clones, as the real ones, like Hillary and China Joe, have already been arrested and imprisoned or worse.
- And here’s a good one, “It is all pantomime!”
- and so on…
There are millions of true believers worldwide who buy into this story, certainly through the first level but maybe not all of the way through the second level, but, how, I ask, can they not believe that, as well, since it is the same peddlers pushing both?
Then, there are the skeptics, or as our British friends like to spell it, sceptics. You know who they are, who we are, as they/we are the ones who keep asking for actual evidence – you know, stuff that actually proves other stuff. That evidence.
So they are saying that the emperor has new clothes and is not actually eye-abusingly naked, and if we can’t see his beautiful attire, then it is our fault. They say that the evidence of “the story” is all around us and is plentiful, but we just choose to not see it. They want, you see, for us to think that it is we who are uninformed, stupid, misguided, and/or deluded and not they so that we will not act in heresy and begin to whisper that the emperor is actually naked.
Are there some interesting and hard to explain things going on? Certainly, but they are hardly what any reasonable person would call actuall evidence. Things such as…
- The White House appears unoccupied.
- Citizen “journalists” have posted videos of the (supposedly) real-time White House showing nothing there while the media was depicting some big event or other.
- Others have posted videos showing that the Washington weather was actually much different than what the media was showing.
- Biden was depicted wearing summer suits while those in the background were decked out in cold-weather attire.
- CGI (apparently) actually being used for Biden, as we have all seen the “hands moving through the CGI microphones” video.
- Our prison base at Guantanamo Bay expanded tremendously – many times over – under Trump and appears to be fully occupied.
There are some other things, too, but that is enough for you to get the picture and understand that, while all of that, and more, may be interesting, none of it is evidence. All of it could easily have been faked and may well have been. Today, the technology for that sort of thing is just phenomenal.
So I actually want to see the evidence. Not the “invisible” kind, but the real kind that my God-given senses of sight, hearing, and touch can tell me is the truth.
So I repeat – I am a skeptic, and I say that because I am, and I am because I have earned the right to be. As a wise TV butler once observed when criticized for something or other he had said, “I have the opinions that life has given me.” So I actually want to see the evidence. Not the “invisible” kind, but the real kind that my God-given senses of sight, hearing, and touch can tell me is the truth.
I am not saying that the emperor is naked but only asking for evidence of his splendid wardrobe, and until that evidence comes, I am not going to buy into that story or any other, however much I may want to believe it. Moreover, I will not apologize for that, and if the true believers expect that I will, then they may as well be piddling in the ocean for all the good it will do them. Or, as my Granny might have said, they could “expect” in one hand and spit in the other and see which one fills up faster.
So, is the emperor really naked, or not? I am inclined to believe that he is, as the old saying goes “as naked as a jaybird”, but I don’t know. In spite of what some nice, kind, and gracious, but certifiably insane people may think, I’m not the smartest person in the world. Maybe not even top ten. Other things that we thought strange have turned out to actually be true.
However, Ronald Reagan once said “Trust, but verify!”, and if it was good enough for him then, by golly, it is dadgum surely good enough for me.
