Lost in the Argument: Questions Unanswered


 


To all the "Flat Earthers" and "Globeists" out there.....


I can NOT believe the amount of energy that is currently being expended on this argument. STILL.

Do you get it? THIS is a DISTRACTION. This is a distraction BECAUSE of the argument. While everyone is arguing "it's flat!" or "It's a globe", they are missing the bigger and more important questions.

..... Besides that, what if the earth is a different shape entirely?  What if the "Planet" isn't a "Planet" at all?

Now, Please do not get mad and close this page.  Please take a moment to read the message- I am asking everyone to put aside your personal beliefs in this, and focus on the QUESTION.


Is this earth a globe? No, I don't think so.
Is it flat? Nope, I don't really gel with that theory either.

(I personally think that BOTH theories are wrong but we'll get back to that...)

But while everyone is arguing "flat vs sphere" most people are so caught up in the actual argument itself that they aren't looking for other answers!! There are HUGE questions that the "flat earth theory" have brought up that are vital pieces of the puzzle, and have opened up a lot of different avenues of investigation and research..... but I think that the basic argument has been pushed as a distraction- to KEEP PEOPLE FROM going down those avenues and continuing their research to the deeper, more important questions that this topic shines a light on.


I am watching literal wars of words raging across social media over this, and 99% of those arguing, aren't discussing the issues brought up BY the question of what shape our planet is- all they are doing is arguing about the shape.

Please let that sink in for a moment..... 

WHY?

Instead of arguing about this, I would LOVE to see people putting the same energy into do their OWN research.


I have seen many many videos posted over the past 6 months or so that push one side of this argument or the other.... that are filled with flawed "science", and poor logical processes to try and prove one side of only TWO theories.  It's a travesty. And I'm shocked at the bullshit "science" that people are swallowing whole, because they have chosen to listen to someone else, instead of doing their own research.  I am shocked at the number of intelligent, aware people who have gotten themselves locked into one side, one BELIEF, and are seemingly incapable of moving beyond and looking at the entire debate rationally.

What this has become, in my opinion, is a religious argument. Like Protestants and Catholics arguing over who is "right". Everyone seems to be caught up in "Beliefs", and are pushing their own unprovable belief system.

Neither side is capable of sitting down and having a rational, logical discussion. Most interactions deteriorate into screaming matches and name calling...... so MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! DIVISION HAS BEEN SET UP PERFECTLY.  NO ONE is moving BEYOND that one stupid argument.

Let me ask this one basic question:

In the greater scheme of things, does the physical shape of the planet change your life at all?   Did your physical existence on this "planet" - where you live, what your job is, your family life, your social life- actually CHANGE when you discovered the "flat earth theory"?   No really!  I want you lo LOOK at what I'm saying:  DID your physical existence in this reality actually CHANGE?

NO.  It did not.

The QUESTIONS brought up BY this "theory", have a massive impact on us- emotionally, mentally, and even "spiritually", and they have the ability to propel us forward into vast new areas of research and comprehension.  But it's the QUESTIONS that do this- NOT THE SHAPE.

I would love to discuss this entire topic, in the open, without all the bullshit.  To really LOOK at the QUESTIONS, and take this entire meme apart and REALLY dig for answers- WITHOUT focusing on what fuckin' shape of the planet is!! 

.... as I said:  What if this "Planet" isn't a planet at all.  That kinda makes the entire argument about what shape it is completely irrelevant, doesn't it?  But in order to even look at that as a possibility, first we have to let go of our "belief" systems and open our minds to the very basic fact that we do not know.....

TN Special Report: The Iceland Meme that won't die

Good morning my friends.  After recording last nights Transpicuous News January 4th Report, I continued the session with this special report. 

Distractions are the name of the game these days, and discerning Distraction from Disinfo is sometimes damn difficult.  In this recording I discuss the waves of distractions that keep rolling over us, and a few of the main points I look at when these same ol' stories keep coming back to life.   Case in point: The Iceland Revolution that wasn't.

I've spoken about Iceland's perceived "revolution" for several years now, but when the next "wave" of the meme hit social media again last week, I decided to put together a report to spotlight what did and didn't happen in Iceland, since the financial collapse of 2008.

Roundtable Discussion July 6th: Archive Video

Good Morning my friends.

Here is the archive video from the One People's Roundtable Discussion from Monday, July 6th.

I would like to add just a couple of personal comments about the conversation we had on Monday.


On Monday's show, Lisa and I were joined by Bradley Loves and Gary David- the topic on the table was CERN, AI & and NWO.   However, as Brad had just recently been in contact with a person called "Harry", aka: Ruiner77, the conversation quickly turned to some of the information this person Harry had been relaying to Brad.

"The Ruiner/Harry" is purportedly an Illuminati escapee who's mentor is one of the few ancient beings still on Earth.  During the show, we discussed several of the things that "Harry" had told Brad during all of their private discussions, like:  The history of our planet, the role of the Illuminati, and the fact that the"Dracos" are leaving the planet..... abandoning the Illuminati without the benefit of their "magic", and thereby forcing them to develop technology to continue the "Mind-control" of humanity.

It would seem that several people in the chat room were quite pissed off about this conversation, and called out this "Ruiner" person.  Others were "disappointed" that Lisa and I would venture into this conversation  at all.  So I wanted to give my personal opinion of much of what was discussed on Monday....

During the show, as Brad was relaying all of this information from "Harry", my overwhelming thought that kept coming back was: The Wingmakers Material.   To better explain the connection, I have to jump back in time to last spring, in Aouchtam Morocco.

Last spring, everyone in the "clubhouse" got caught up in the Wingmaker material/docs, and we actually spent quite a bit of time discussing it- especially the transcript of the final interview that had just been released.   As we went through the document, I found myself drawn into the flow of the information, and there were many points that really resonated with me as being "truth"..... yet there was a subtlety to the manipulation of the information.   While there was much info that was very interesting and very.... almost enlightening...... there was a manipulation at play that was insidious and very dis-empowering.  The words told us all these wonderful things, but the energetics were very different and very manipulative- meant to take away our power and to subtly dissuade us from doing anything.  This is my personal opinion.

During Monday nights Roundtable Discussion, I found myself continuously being reminded of the Wingmakers information.  There is a similarity to the "energetics", if you will, of the message.  "Harry" brings forward, information that of course we can neither confirm nor deny, that is very interesting and it draws you in.   And yet, there is continuously a subtle dis-empowering message woven throughout his story.  I have gone to his site and read through several pieces that he's published, and this feeling of  deliberate distraction is over whelming to me.

Again, just my personal opinion.

The distraction game is being rolled out with massive push.  All over the place, it seems that "they" are pushing the distraction/division agenda bigger than ever before. Not just in the Main Stream Media, but all through the alternative media as well.  Groups all over the planet are rearing their heads to to pull our attention away from what's really going on, and to distract us from searching for the facts and the truth of our moment in time, so to speak.  And we all need to be seriously aware of the distractions around us.

Having said that, I think it is also important for us to discuss these distractions and to thoroughly look at various pieces of information that are coming out right now- even if only to make the distraction clearly seen.  So yes, Lisa and I will continue our journey of searching and you are invited to join us on that journey every week on the One People Roundtable Discussions.  As I always say:  No one "KNOWS"  all of the  "TRUTH"...... but we keep seeking  the pieces that each person brings forward, to put together a bigger picture of what "May" be the "Truth".

This is our journey, and we invite you to ride this adventure with us, in our ups and downs, and our insideoutupsidedown moments..... ever searching for the answers on this twisting and tangled road.

ISIS Just So Happens to Hack CENTCOM Just as Obama Is Announcing New Cyber Security Legislation?


Exactly as I expected.  Up the threat level, up the response.  Of course by "response" they actually mean "taking away your freedom and privacy".  Watch the timing as these "attacks" roll out.  Watch the distractions, watch what happens behind the curtain.

OH COME ON: ISIS Just So Happens to Hack CENTCOM Just as Obama Is Announcing New Cyber Security Legislation?

Could it really get any more convenient than this?

The top story today everywhere is that ISIS hackers attacked U.S. Central Command and posted sensitive info on the agency’s official Twitter page.

Via The Washington Free Beacon:
    Hackers with the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, posted links on U.S. Central Command’s official Twitter page to what it claimed was “confidential data from your mobile devices.”

    “ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah’s permission we are in CENTCOM now,” said one tweet sent from CENTCOM’s account.

Further:

    The hackers subsequently tweeted images of spreadsheets containing the home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of dozens of current and former senior U.S. military officers.

    “AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING WATCH YOUR BACK,” one tweet stated.

So the hack attack just so happened to come JUST as President Obama was addressing the nation on, what else? Cyber security.

Really? How serendipitous. In fact, if you look serendipitous in the dictionary, this situation might be in there as a textbook example.

Obama is expected to address cyber security again at the State of the Union where he is set to continue drumming up support for two new pieces of legislation on cyber security he is about to propose.

And now he’s telling Americans that these attacks pose a “direct threat to the economic security of American families.”

 reported, “The president cited the recent hacks at Target, Home Depot and Sony as primary reasons why Congress should pass the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act. The bill would help unify a multitude of state breach laws that currently exist. Lawmakers have tried for nearly a decade to pass a federal bill to replace the patchwork of state laws, but have repeatedly failed, in part because either the laws didn’t go far enough or went too far.”

So for ten years they’ve wanted to pass more federal laws to replace state laws, but they haven’t been able to — now the Sony hack (which looks like a psyop) and the oh-so-timely CENTCOM hack — and bam — more laws?

What better way to get support for passing more cyber security laws than an ISIS CENTCOM cyber attack occurring right when the president is talking about passing more cyber security laws?

(Pray tell…what all is in those bills, anyway? Anyone read the fine print yet?)

This is classic Hegelian Dialectic problem-reaction-solution for another government power grab.

I mean, the writers of Wag the Dog couldn’t make this stuff up. Or maybe they could, because it really seems like they did.

The president will also be talking to the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday about even more ways the nation can defend itself against cybercrime… Considering that everything Homeland Security does seems to take a little more of our liberties in exchange for security (theater), this ought to be good.

Also note that government officials are using the recent attack on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo to justify and call for even more big brother surveillance society NSA spying on Americans.

From recent article “Sickening: Police & Surveillance State Apologists Leap At Charlie Hebdo Opportunity To Advocate For More Spying, Less Freedom,” in the blog Tech Dirt:

    …former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden went on cable news on Thursday morning to use the Charlie Hebdo attack as an excuse for why the program was so useful. After spending about four minutes talking about how these kinds of random small attacks are likely to be the new way terrorists attack, he then defends metadata collection:

    Let me add another thought here too: You know, I was talking to you guys about 12 months ago, about these massive amounts of metadata that NSA held in storage. That metadata doesn’t look all that scary this morning and I wouldn’t be surprised if the French services pick up cell phones associated with the attack and ask the Americans, ‘where have you seen these phones active globally?’.

    Actually, no, that metadata does still seem pretty scary, because it also includes a hell of a lot more than just those responsible for the attack. And, it’s not like law enforcement and the intelligence community can’t go back to the operators currently responsible and ask them for that data. There’s still no reason to believe that the NSA needs to just be sitting on this data all the time. And, of course, it doesn’t seem like all that metadata helped prevent any attack, now did it? [emphasis added]

Exactly.

So while they are calling for even more surveillance state spying on Americans, even more unconstitutional collection of our data, at the same time they admit they cannot protect anyone’s data… so please give them more laws and power?

Does not compute.

And remember kids: hacking is bad when it happens to Sony, but totally fine when the CIA does it to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
