    Now? :eek:

    Has EVERYONE on the extreme right been fast asleep for the pat FOUR DECADES when it comes to what the military has been DOING as far as the THREAT of Global Climate Change is concerned?

    They RAISED the threat level under St Reagan!

    https://www.gleick.com/blog/a-histo...elligence-and-security-assessments-of-climate

    In essence the OP is a DIRECT attempt by the extremist rightwing to IMPOSE a partisan POLITICAL IDEOLOGY in VIOLATION of the Constitution.

    Sad!

    Way to miss the point. Let me try again. If you bought into the four years of Russian hysteria, and the related spoon fed propaganda, you have no right to look down your nose at the nutters spewing this nonsensical Qanon bs.

    a conspiracy theorist is a conspiracy theorist, no matter how hard you try to sugar coat your own folly.

    just speaking facts.

    I'm curious what you think "Russia Gate" was and how it has anything to do with Q and what it espouses?

    Absolutely - I didn't mean to imply that pride in military came only from the right.

    Considering their lack of physical preparedness, do you think we should convert the military from an offensive team to peace keepers? Probably we should also cut military spending - we can't be sending weak soldiers into battle.

    The Chinese curse applies to the world today, "May you live in interesting times."

    You may think a weak and dying American society is a good thing, but you too will reap the whirlwind.

    But you see, I don't regard American society as weak and dying. But I'd be interested in knowing what you see that is weakening and killing our society. I suspect they are the very things that I'm happy to see happening.

    Why else would our military plan for climate change? Do they know that when food runs out no amount of protest, no amount of blame, and no amount of money will feed a hungry populace? Look, climate change will cause droughts and droughts starve people.

    I'm traveling right now, so don't have much time and have to post from my phone. I'll give you a list later, and we can discuss if you want.

    In the mean time, I suspect we would largely be talking past each other - the reasons for this can be explained by this video better than I either have the time to type out, or could adequately explain.

    This is an excellent 11 minute video from The Academy of Ideas: Free Thinkers for a Free Society.

    I am a free thinker BTW. I'm not a Republican or Democrat. I have a lot of problems with both parties.

    I would agree that masses have successfully been manipulated - on both sides. Would you say, based upon the video, that you believe our society is weakening and dying due to this manipulation? I'd be interested in your examples of manipulations on each side of the political aisle - I think that may well be where we talk past eachother.

    "THEY", that are doing the manipulating have Americans tearing out each others throat's and destroying Government By the People in the process. Which is just what they want, a USA that appears to be run just like it always has but is really a Autocracy "THEY" control and We The People are their tax slaves. Not really much different than we have now except all pretense of self governance and freedom would be gone; probably never to return.

    Even when I was still a loyal Democrat, I never at any point became as evil as the crops of Current Democrats are. Thank god I was gone due to Jimmy Carter failing.

    I have made that case daily. The Biden lovers are engaged in tribal manipulations by their leaders.

    Stop and ask this. Do you actually believe strangers who happen to be rich are who rules your life?

    Do you vote for the rich? Do you go with the rich and vote on them and their group?

    Politics is the area of group think. I used to be a loyal democrat. It provides group think and group approval. I catch hell now that I voted for Trump. I did not do this for rewards. I knew I get no rewards from politicians. I get ruled. I get charged. I get told what to do.
    Trump even in the pandemic refused to order us around. Biden came in to order us around. He killed an important pipeline to engage in control. Trump had started phase 3 or 4 again to open it up to freedom.

    Climate has been a way to control. When you feed fear to the masses, using climate, you have a powerful fear motivating those who accept the control and it will be hard for them to break free of you. Climate is a good reason why Politics should not be used as a vehicle since it rules us by fear. Fear drives people to do dumb things against their better interest.

    Americas mass media hated Trump. They played Americans a suckers for profit. Jim Acosta is a master manipulator and bad for society.

    You're displaying the same hysterical theories post after post. You should try to calm down and be a bit more philosophical.

    The groupthink discussed in the video (thanks for taking the time to watch it BTW - did you find it interesting??) goes back over 100 years to the time of Freud - which is also the time at which our central bank, The Federal Reserve, was formed, the Bolshevik Revolution was launched, WWI, the Foundation system, the Income Tax, etc.

    In short, this is the time in which the most powerful money powers in the world were at last coming together. They stopped competing and fighting one another, and unified as one to begin the process of bringing humanity to heel - on a global scale.

    As the video pointed out, those in power seized upon the understanding being deveolped in the field of psychology and sought to harness the power of mass psychology by developing strategies and programs designed to weaken American society.

    This began in earnest in the 1920's when their initial attempts to form the framework of a world government, The League of Nations, failed ratification in the U.S. Senate. They realized that the people of the United States would not meekly surrender their sovereignty and freedom.

    Now this brings us to a fork in the road.

    Your understanding of the period from 1920-1940 is "textbook" I would imagine?? Your textbook understanding of these events is false - deliberately so.

    So instead of having a "groupthink" reaction, and defending the textbook version of events (which I know just as well) as they were taught to you - start by asking why??

    Why would they deliberately crash the stock market in 1929?? Why would they bring about a depression?? Why would they force thru The New Deal (which I'm sure you think is a good thing, no??).

    These are massive manipulations of the masses - manipulations that the public has no idea about.

    Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University, was an Establishment Historian, Carroll Quigley. Very well connected, very well respected - a brilliant man.

    Quigley wrote several books, his most important being Tragedy and Hope. In Tragedy and Hope, he lays it all out - in effect, everything you learned from your textbook was a lie.

    So the question begs, why??

    If you're ever going to figure any of this out, you have to start asking "why" of everything.
