    I should have been more clear and specific about what I meant when said step 1, 2 and 3 (above #152443 )
    Step 1 = going down (cuz they’re going down fast and hard)
    step 2 = in a blaze (down in flames, no ‘chute, wheels and wings falling off)
    step 3 = all the rest of us aren’t all that keen on going down in flames with them, so we’re not going to do that. If they want to lie, cheat and steal to the gawdam bitter end, then we’re gonna let them, but they’re just gonna have to be on their own with that crash and burn shit. They crazy.

    The Bad Guys apparently want to go down in a blaze of glory and take everybody else with them. I think they will be accommodated on steps 1 and 2, but an increasing number of folks are opting out of step 3.

    The Bad Guys aren’t going to stop the bad stuff until someone stops them (as in, physically prevents them) from doing it. Restraining themselves from doing whatever they want is not how criminal psychopaths regulate their own behavior. They do what they want (anything goes) and if nobody stops them or punishes them for it then that’s tantamount to official authorization to just keep doing it.

    Why are the Israeli’s slaughtering Palestinians? Why, because nobody is stopping them, that’s why. They wanted the land so they took it. They wanted to stop the victims from taking it back, so they’re killing them.

    Nobody stopped them from either action, which to a Zionist means the same thing as being given permission. Just SAYING that it’s unacceptable is nonsense. If it REALLY wasn’t acceptable then you would have shown that you REALLY didn’t accept it by stopping them.

    That’s how psychopathic criminals distinguish between something being a “good thing to do” or a “bad thing to do.” If they want something and can get away with taking it then that is the definition of a “good” thing to do,” and if they want something and are stopped from just taking it, then that is a “bad thing to do” . . . . . and they will get very very nasty indeed toward anyone trying to stop them from doing whatever they want to do.

    I don’t think one should overthink the complexity of a psychopathic criminal’s moral judgement process. They don’t give a shit whether things are true or false, fair or cheat, just or unjust, or any other moral or logical hoo haa. What THEY care about (the ONLY thing they care about) is whether or not they can get away with doing whatever they want without anybody stopping them. Period. End of concept.

    It’s dawning on more and more people that the reason the elites are making so many “mistakes” that lead to “accidental “disasters which “no one could have seen coming”, is that the actions are not mistaken and the disasters are not accidental. It’s explicitly on purpose, INCLUDING the deaths and genocides.

    [quoted from Russia Today]

    “Moscow saw the interview as an opportunity to be heard in the West, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
    Kremlin explains why Putin spoke to Tucker Carlson

    Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson this week provided a great opportunity to make people in the West think, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the TASS news agency on Saturday.

    Peskov suggested the two-hour interview, which largely revolved around relations between Moscow and Kiev, made it possible for Putin to be heard in the West.

    Asked about the interest the interview has sparked, garnering over 100 million views in just one day on Carlson’s X account (formerly Twitter) alone, the spokesman replied that the numbers do not necessarily equate to universal support from viewers.

    “We cannot expect that our point of view will receive support. The main thing for us is that our president is heard. And if he is heard, this means more people will think about whether he is right or not. They will think, at least,” Peskov stated.”

    @Red
    The military Industrial Complex’s excuse that you quoted, as

    “We need to restore and expand our industrial base more quickly so that we can increase supplies to Ukraine and replenish our own stocks. That means switching from slow production in times of peace to fast production, as is necessary in conflicts,”

    is just a indiscernible variation on the same old worn out excuse that ALL failed and incompetent kleptocrats ALWAYS fall back on when challenged about their failures, “we don’t have enough funding, staff and and equipment! Give us more money and bigger armies of useless loyal paper pushers.”

    Man would THAT be a mistake! Who in their right mind would give MORE money and authority to jerks whose only talent is to spend money giving themselves more authority and public funding. And yet that transparent ploy works every time because the system itself has been captured by the folks who have perfected the art of making their living that way.

    With a nod and apology to Johnny Mercer,

    I find it deliciously ironic that the nominal US President Joe Biden (who has been in China’s pocket for decades) chose an Asian as the Special Council tasked (sub rosa) with defending the old fart’s nonexistent honor. And then the best that paladin could come up with as an excuse for Biden’s criminal behavior was to say that the old fart was too many bricks short of a load to be successfully prosecuted, because he would likely come across to a sympathetic jury as just a kindly (and mentally incompetent to stand trial) diminished old fart.

    I kinda like that Hur fella. He seems to know how to condemn by means of feint praise. That shows real skill and brass balls, especially when done from the midst of the lion’s den, even toothless old lions like the geriatric Democrat Party. Maybe we’ll get to see more of Hur in the future, but next time on the CORRECT side of the fence instead. At least he has brains and training, unlike the other idiots they throw under the bus at us.

    The reason the West doesn’t want Peace Talks with Russia isn’t a mystery. It’s a simplicity. The reason is because the West doesn’t want peace and (even more so) it doesn’t want talks.

    They don’t want peace because peace will end the steady flow of Billions in bribes, kickbacks to grifters, corporations, and certain political parties . Stopping THAT is literally synonymous with ending what makes the Collective West what it basically IS.

    And if there are talks then people will hear some truths, and that, too, is something the liars really really REALLY don’t want anybody to hear.

    I’m losing interest in the current piss fight, which seems to be winding down. I’m not sure if that’s because your latest response seemed to lack creative vigor and originality or if it’s just that my Geritol is wearing off. In either case, let’s give it a rest until tomorrow. Maybe a good night’s sleep will help. In any case at least it will be a break. Who knows, maybe the world will end as we predicted and we’ll have something more interesting to snipe about.

    “In my world travels, this is what I have noticed about the distribution of the world’s banker population.

    Europe, North and South America, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand have an abundance of Jewish bankers in their ranks. Mainly thanks to the Pope.

    Africa, Middle East, India, and east Asia do not have very many Jewish bankers.
    So for more than half of the world, there are no Jewish bankers.

    So as time goes forward, the percent of Jewish bankers in the world will decrease.”

    That’s good data to have. and is something that I had wondered about but had never taken the time and the effort to find out. Thank you.

    Maybe it partially explains why the Jewish bankers, financial executives and top corporate and institutional executives are in such a panic. They’re seeing their world shrink and know what to expect when it drops below the “critical mass” that they know is vitally necessary to their continued criminal operations.

    Your most recent comment began with the words , “D Benton Smith said”., so if I’m reading that correctly you directed the insults which followed towards me, personally. These clearly addressed criticisms included such warm and friendly non-targeted niceties as “this comment section is not all about you”, along with, “you need to get used to that without taking it as a personal slight” and topping it all off by calling me a “snowflake in “costume.”

    Please don’t be so overly sensitive to misperceived unintentional slights, but fuck you. Nothing personal.

    And one more thing for @CelticBiker and @Aspnaz to gnaw on before I let this thing go. The both of you have been sort of surreptitiously attempting to paint my self-portrait as a phony “wise Old Man” act. That’s not nice, and it’s deceitful.

    I do not, and have never regarded myself as the source of any “wise” thing that I have attempted to discover and then put on the table for public review. I do not MAKE the wisdom or true fact. I try to FIND it. It’s right there for anyone else to find also, and if they DO also find that it is wise or true, then good for both of us, equally, and that’s it.

    So you’re saying that Putin doesn’t hold high position on the Board of Directors of Russia, and that he was just pissing away two hours in full view of 50 million real-time viewers to pass a pleasant evening teaching crucially pertinent Russian history to a bimboid talking head, and was not making it known to EVERYONE listening to the broadcast that he wanted to negotiate a Peace Deal AND would throw in a quick spy swap to sweeten the pot as a gesture of sincerity.

    YES the show was pre-approved by all parties powerful enough to really matter. That was about a full half of my point.

    Seriously. I have high regard for CelticBiker and my opinion is that he’s in pretty good mental working order. A little too angry to see things as clearly as he would see them if he wasn’t so pissed off at the Jews that he thinks they are more than just top-of-the-middle managers in a much bigger (and older) organization.

    The best way to look at a knock down drag out fight is as an opportunity. Your adversary might be a monumental pain in the ass and fear in the heart at the moment, but if you ever do get them turned around and reformed into seeing things your way then just imagine what a fierce and formidable new ally you will then have.

    Yes, it is probable to the point of certainty that the herd is being driven into a frenzy of strident insistence that Trump be made President. That ostensible victory for the MAGA’s is actually just a coral intended to make the herd also insist on acceptance of the “Deals” that Trump will cleverly wangle from America’s competitors and adversaries.

    The good news is that Trump will cut some pretty good deals (under the circumstances) but the bad news is that the circumstances are already so bad, and so overwhelmingly disadvantageous to America’s bargaining position, that Trump is not going to have much leverage or wiggle room. His self-proclaimed genius for in the Art Of The Deal is really going to be put to the test. With luck and skill the US may come out of the fight with its shirt on it’s back and still wearing shoes.

    Are you all aware that the Carlson-Putin Interview is itself an UNPRECEDENTED inside view of REAL and ACTUAL (not fake) world shaping diplomacy, playing out in real time right there in front of our eyes and ears?

    Well, it is. Tucker Carlson as ENVOY and diplomatic representative of a powerful faction of the “Western” intelligence community (in this case specifically the CIA) asked Vladimir Putin to tell them why he went to war in Ukraine instead of responding to the situation in some other way. Putin then proceeded to answer the question truthfully and in great detail. Tucker’s bafflement and shock was genuine. It had never occurred either to him or his masters that The Russian people (of whom Putin is merely a representative (albeit a GREAT one) would be operating on the basis of well documented historical facts and other truths. What a concept! No wonder the West feared and could never understand what Russian’s were thinking! The Russians were thinking SANELY.

    Some, but definitely not all, of these things were known prior to the interview (else it would never been set up or allowed to happen in the first place. Also notably (and I mean VERY notably) the fact that the “PURE BLACK Hat” faction of CIA-Western Cabal WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP the “SLIGHTLY LIGHTER GRAY Hat faction” from carrying out the operation, is proof that the Blackest of Hats have lost their dominating control over the United States’ overall “national management machinery.”

    That they would (and did!) choose such an internationally exposed and public forum like the Internet is PROOF that they have chosen to reengage the PEOPLE (yeah, people like all of us pipsqueaks) with the process of negotiating a peace agreement with all parties who wish to engage in it.

    Have you ever seen anything like it? I have never seen anything like it.

    Consider for a moment how huge and protracted this process is going to be. Nevertheless, the Peace Treaty Talks have already begun, and the obviously apparent basis of the talks is going to be the exchange of truths rather than lies (as best they can within the constraints of caring for the security of their respective national populations.)

    And as far as the question of whether the process is real or to be trusted I can only say this: so long as the exchange continues at a good or better pace, remains as publicly public and unredacted as reasonable, and isn’t packed with lies and blatant censorship, then I believe that we can trust that it is both real and trustworthy.

    does it tell us the CIA is heading in a different direction to the MIC who is only interested in prolonging the death and destruction? ”

    I think that is exactly what it means, that these “alternative channel” talks between Russia and SOME faction or other at CIA are now actually in progress. It might not solve everything (or even very much) but it sure sounds better than WW3, Armageddon and TEOTWAWKI rolled into one.

    Putin said something that was very very profound and at the same time crucially practical, but to get it you have to stand back and look at the entire interview as a whole, because he didn’t just enunciate the whole like some sort of pedantic pronouncement of wisdom. Instead he demonstrated the wisdom (and advice) over and over and over again in the way he provided information and the way he conducted himself during the talk. HE WALKED THE WALK as a demonstration of the core message that he wanted to impart

    First of all, note that Putin established from the very beginning (insistently, like he wanted an honest answer), whether or Tucker was there for a serious conversation or was the interview was just something that Tucker was producing for consumption by a video audience back in America.

    Also recall what Putin did whenever Tucker pressed him about what other world leaders had said in various private and public meetings in their important geopolitical conversations with him in the past. In every case Putin answered that he could only speak for himself, as a party to the conversation in question, but as for what the OTHER party had said (or meant, or intended, or believed) that Putin considered it to be entirely inappropriate for him, Putin, to speak for them. If Tucker wanted to know what they said or meant then he should go talk to them and let them speak for themselves. That was essential. If you need to know what someone really thinks or wants then you must talk to THEM, directly.

    The advice on how to get that information from that other party was explicit. His advice was to go ask them and persuade them to tell you. You must engage and exchange information with them. When people have issues with each other then they must communicate, negotiate, TALK with each other until that issue is satisfactorily resolved.

    And always know that all issue always get resolved, one way or another. If one party to the conflict refuses to negotiate, or even talk, then they will be left behind and the issue will be resolved by others, if they can and as best they can. Maybe they will fail and maybe they will succeed, but in either case they will be doing it solo, on their own, because the other side refuses to honestly negotiate any other possible course of action.

    In this specific case, in the Russia vs Collective West War for axample, the issue has been resolved distinctly in Russia’s favor, and the West is the one being left behind. Although Russia remains ready and willing to talk if and when some trustworthy representative of the West is willing to come to the table and start talking, it’s up to the West alone whether or not to engage in dialogue.

    I believe that Tucker interviewing Putin is the official opening round of that dialogue.

    AND BY THE WAY! Isn’t it fascinating that Tucker has been “outed” as an asset of at least a “faction” of the Central Intelligence Agency? Wowser! Putin called him out on it, and Tucker confirmed the accusation by strongly and insistently pleading the case for that New York Times Reporter that Russia just arrested for being a CIA spy (caught red handed receiving classified Russian defense information).

    Tucker HAD to have know that he was blowing his own cover, and thereby throwing away an enormous reputation that he had spent a lifetime building (and worth uncountable millions of dollars) as a fully disclosed and trustworthy free agent who was neither beholding to nor taking orders from any institution or undisclosed special interest. Poof! Gone. No more Mr. Nice Guy Who Doesn’t Lie. Well, Tucker old son, withholding from your audience that you are a CIA asset is a lie. Revealing that lie voluntarily strikes me as a VERY high price to pay, yet he paid it willingly. VERY interesting.

    Hence forward we must regard Tucker Carlson not as a mere star reporter, but as a PLAYER. Will he be a trustworthy one, like Putin has been? Well, so far so good, mostly. I don’t have TOO much to complain about how he has done up to this point because I know that it is a tough game that he has chosen to play. Us too. Just as with Vladimir Putin, Tucker is what he is and it is now up to us to TALK WITH HIM to find out exactly what that is.

    [picking up from the close of yesterday]

    @aspnaz

    “My main take from the Putin interview is that he loves his country, is immensely proud of his country, its history and culture and is both proud and determined to move his country forward to be a winning player in the world. Quite a refreshing performance given the hatred that spews forth from western politicians lost in their own minds, not having any direction or meaning to their lives..”

    I fully agree with your take on the Putin interview, especially your first paragraph. Tucker did a good job, asking the hard questions forthrightly, and Putin was as brilliant as usual (and expected) in answering forthrightly as well. I think everyone knows that the West has not just lost it’s demented and senseless war, but has lost its way altogether, and Putin was both sympathetic and yet unflinchingly firm in answering that the West is responsible for finding its own way back if it can. Russia stands ready to cooperate, within the boundaries of its peoples’ legitimate interests, but it is up to the West to come to its own senses.

    It was a great interview, truly great, and there is much more to be read into it and gleaned from it. I think it will be turned to as a source of information about the real current world situation many many times by many many many people, as we continue in our attempt to stumble through the dark toward a better (or at least survivable) near and distant future. We’re going to need some help.

    According to the US Government Biden is too mentally impaired to be charged with the crimes he has committed, but is apparently still competent enough to pretend to be running the United States, which everybody knows is being run by other interests anyway, so who cares.

    Yeah, that pretty well sums up the State of the Union. So it ends with neither a bang nor a whimper, just an unintelligible mumble that tapers off into subvocal mush that is ignored by everyone because there’s no reason to waste time listening to it.

    Putin’s message to the West was delivered with such diplomatic finesse and soft wording that it’s core message will probably take weeks to sink in with most audiences, but when it does finally work its way through the thick skulls and atrophied brains of the Cabalistic Western Empire the upshot will be as follows::

    The Collective West (which must of course include the financial Cabal that actually runs it) can minimize its losses by coming to the negotiating table whenever it decides to. Russia is prepared to negotiate mutually acceptable agreements to end this war, OR it can just keep on losing until there is nothing left to negotiate and the inevitable agreements will all be by default. Russia is ready to talk but is not in any big hurry, because we are just going to keep on winning until its self-proclaimed adversary is either in a more amenable frame of mind or no longer exists.

    The Collective West and its masters must understand that their plan has failed and very near catastrophic collapse.. It planned to fragment Russia into small piece that could be strip-mined for the resources that would then be directed toward doing the same thing to the next victim on your list, the “enemy” it fears the most, China. It was basically the same game plan that it has always used.

    Well, China has been on to the game from the beginning, too, and there is no way that China is going to allow either of those related events to happen. Russia’s relationship with China has been developed for over a thousand years. They have learned how to get along with each other to mutually acceptable benefit.

    The fact which is apparent to all reasonably thoughtful and responsible people everywhere is that the West is NOT going to conquer the world and turn it into a weird, perverted and dystopian slave camp as was intended. The sooner they come to terms with this obvious reality then the sooner they can get back to regular business. That decision is theirs to make and therefore does not really concern Russia.

    I’m using the word chimp the same way that you are, as a a glyph for every human and any other critter, (corporeal or otherwise) who joins in the fray on one side or the other. People is people. The only difference between thee, me and the powers that be is whether we are striving to be more truthful and honest or LESS truthful and honest. The liars are headed in the “Dead” direction and the truthers are headed toward the light of truth, life, and (ultimately) toward whatever name you care to assign to the Creator of the Universe.

    He tells me the truth (your stated panacea), I believe him, and one or both of us ends up beaten or dead. Gives me the warm fuzzies.”

    That’s what the larcenous chimp spends trillions of clams trying convince you to believe, but the fact of the matter is that he’s just telling you more lies. One of his FAVORITE lies is that if you just accept being beaten then he won’t kill you, and his second most favorite lie is that if you reject his lies a and refuse to submit then you are the one who will wind up dead, and not him. Nope. It’s the other way around.

    First of all, if you do make the mistake of submitting to the threats then he recognizes you as easy prey, low hanging fruit, and he will DEFINITELY murder you just as soon as he sees a profit margin.

    Secondly (his second lie) is that you are the one who winds up dead. Nope again. The fact of the matter is that it’s ALREADY him who is headed for death’s maelstrom maw at flank speed. He’s more than half dead already because he actually thinks that he is NOT an immortal spiritual being. Wrong!
    You ARE an immortal spiritual being (despite the fact that bodies come and go), so if you don’t start killing yourself through ignorance then it’s YOU who goes on living, while he on the other hand just gets dumber and dumber and deader and deader as he retreats further and further and further into the lunacy which results from disbelief in his own spiritually based awareness and existence.

    So if the chimpanzee next to me tells me outright “I’m gonna kill you and take your mangoes!” before he kills me and takes my mangoes, that’s perfectly hunky dory.”

    Naw. What it means (as advice) is that you should treat that criminal chimp the same way the Putin is treating Ukraine and the USA. First of all, you STOP the psycho chimp from harming you, with proportionate but adequately effective FORCE if necessary. Then you tell the chimp chump that if it persists in the attempted armed robbery then you will persist in your EFFECTIVE AND UNSTOPPABLE “armed robbery prevention”.

    You continue to tell the Satanic simian that you’re willing to stop rolling over his ass with vastly superior military, financial and social forces just as soon as HE is willing to stop being a felonious moron.

    I most cases even the dumbest chimp gets the message eventually and desists from its attempted murder spree. As for those too stupid (or in too deep) to reform well tough luck for them. They can just go on losing until they change their minds and behavior….. or lose their place in line.

    regarding the latest iteration of the alleged early translation of Carlson Putin Interview.

    It looks like those who want to interfere with the release and distribution of the REAL interview are reduced to supply TRUNCATED and PARTIAL segments of it (without video, you might notice).

    I reckon their strategy is to trick some people onto thinking that they’ve already heard the interview so that they will bypass watching the real one when it comes out. Pretty lame. Notice that they are sending this bullshit to CONSERVATIVE outlets.

    No big surprise, and the trick won’t work because we already knew that they are tricky, deceptive, gutless, lying, bastards and so we know enough to recirculate and promote the real one until it gets through (unabridged) to everyone willing to listen and probably many more accidentally.

    It is frequently not possible to give people the truth if that truth is something that they are not ready and able to understand. If you attempt to do so the attempt will fail to register as truthful. In such case it will not actually be received accurately (if actually received at all) and will therefore not actually be received as anything much except empty and misunderstood words.

    I can only be told, and received, in stages, working one’s way upward by steps of one “receivable” truth at a time until enough of it actually arrives to be of much use.

    The process tends to be long, tiring and usually thankless work, and one should remain cognizant that while you are working to enlighten others, there are others working just as hard to enlighten YOU. Because if you think that you know it all (or that you even know enough) then you have not been paying close enough attention.

    @ThomasJKenny
    you quoted some guy as saying, [quote] “Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed.” [end quote].

    Whoever wrote it, they got it wrong. He should started the statement with the words “Beware the beast Man WHEN he is the Devil’s pawn.” When the Beast Man is GOD’S “pawn” (that is, when men connect with the reality of the existence of causal divinity) then they get along just fine. Only when they deny that fact, and disconnect from the divine nature of truth itself, that they run amok.

    There’s nothing wrong with the species (or nothing that can’t be handled nicely with an appeal to truth rather than lies.)

    @Oroboros

    I wonder how many people are allowing their brains and soul to appreciate precisely what Jeffrey Sachs is saying (and which they already know in the pits of their stomachs.)

    What he is saying is that the UNITED STATES is the ORGANIZED criminal gang that is genociding Palestinians in a failing attempt to steal their entire country by force. The UNITED STATES is the mugger who tried to do the same thing to Russia by means of an orchestrated unprovoked attempt to use Ukraine just like an armed robber in a dark alley to steal Russia’s resources and sovereignty. It has been the “UNITED” STATES (such as that grotesque misnomer actually is) that is the stone killer that has done the same thing over and over and over and over for the past 250 years to BILLIONS of victims all over the world.

    Is anyone out there starting to get it? Our so-called “nation” is the bad guy. You have been duped. The “truth and justice” you thought you were sacrificing your lives for as been a CONTROLLED PsyOp that was promulgating and perpetuating the biggest crime in human history.

    The reason you don’t KNOW that is because you have been LIED TO so effectively that you don’t even believe that there is a truth there for you to see, despite the fact that the truth is landing on your head with the force of a sledgehammer.

    Countless thousands of honorable Americans contributed their sacred honor, their fortunes, and often their lives to a monster that had captured their country and knew PRECISELY how to hide that fact beneath layer after layer of deliberate LIES.

    I’m sorry, John Day, I went and done it again. I just blurted out The Truth as if anyone is interested in hearing it, and not just the damned truth, but the DAMNING truth. There goes my reputation.

    What can I say? It’s just true.

    Well, since we both seem to find ourselves stuck in the same “we-hope-its-a-lifeboat” we might as well share the hardtack and yak to pass the time and maybe even come up with a way to get back to solid ground someday.

    The Ruskies have the advanced nukes and hypersonic missiles to deliver an EMP a hundred miles above the Ohio or anywhere/everywhere else that they might choose. WW3 would be over before it started.
    Fot undisclosed reasons (perhaps mere sanity?) they have chosen not to do so. Their hypothetical reasons are conjecture. That they have not done so is a fact.

    So, therefore, Putin has not nuked America and he must have his reasons.

    @DBS: Careful to avoid overstating your case, Amigo. The control-narrative is being degraded, but…”

    Okay, I will tentatively agree not to overstate my case too much more than I have already, which is not to say that I take any of it back, or that I won’t try to inch it forward just an itsy little bit at a time.

    I am aware that there is a strong and mysterious capacity in mankind to duct-tape, wheedle and cope its way forward through seemingly impossible to survive disasters. But this time they’re really pushing the envelope.

    I’m hardly alone in seeing it coming, or in seeing some of the underlying truths that are soon to be exposed like trash on the curbside

    I am prepared to bolt and flee back to my earlier state of blindness at the slightest indication that my prognosis is incorrect or needs drastic reassessments. But so far (and I’m inspecting very very closely) I just don’t see that happening.

    Your cautionary advice is well received, and I promise to be careful, BUT part of the price of truth telling is truth seeing …..and vice versa.

    Telling the TRUTH, The whole truth and nothing but the truth about America (or Russia or China, or anyone else, for that matter) does not weaken or threaten the best interests of America (or the others). Removing a cancerous lie does not weaken the organism. It strengthens it. What weakens the host is to allow the lie to remain hidden and continue causing harm.

    Those who tell you otherwise are liars. They’re lying because the truth is that they have committed crimes which weakened both their victims and the nation as a whole.

    It has been said by some (psychopathic criminal liars), and completely without supporting evidence of any kind whatsoever, that (and I quote) “You can’t handle the truth!”

    Wrong! Watch me.
