more bullcrap we gotta cut out

It's time to stop ignoring "conspiracy theorists", too. Sorry. I know this will be a chore. Believe me. I know how big a chore it is. I have already been spending monster amounts of time wading through "alternative research" in what I refer to as my space lizard studies. Just remind yourself that you came with no ease of use warranty when you were born.

So not only do we have to drop mountains of stuff that was loaded onto us in school and in society, but we also must go and start discerning for ourselves what is real, because, clearly, we cannot trust scholars or journalists to do it for us.

This is really, really difficult, if, ultimately, simple.

The alternative is not better....

Yessir. You are right. I have seen it already and I have been on the fence about HOW seriously to take it... not because I don't believe the space lizards are THAT inhumane and psychotic, but more having to do with the over-credulity and obnoxiousness of the woman interviewing him in many of her videos, AND a weird feeling bouncing up off the camaraderie between Duncan and others in the same boat. I'm certain SOMETHING of the sort is and has been going on, but also have to remember that part of the nature of having yer brains manipulated THAT intensely is going to leave you with a tendency not to be able to distinguish too well between dream and fantasy and actuality... on TOP of yanking you toward people who, truly or falsely, come to you with similar problems.

It's a damn hornets' nest out there.

Still, I try to endure as much of their stuff as I can because there is a LOT to learn from most of the people they interview. It's just really HARD to post most of it without spending a couple days compiling all the qualifiers needed so people don't just take it as a blanket endorsement.

Thanks for putting the link up here for people.

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
