I found this really helpful, thank you Luc.The Cs said we must not "shut out the world", as in some Buddhist "nothing really matters, it's all the same, what do I care" stance. This is what I was getting at regarding the current left/right paradigm: we can't just say "well, it's all the same" or "both sides are controlled lol"; we still need to discern what specific developments or takes in the current context represent something positive, truthful and good and what represents evil and untruth; what would be conducive to a more positive society based on all we know and what wouldn't. We've been given "front-row seats", so it would be a waste not to use the unique perspective this provides by retreating to "nothing really matters" nihilism. And this includes emotions, which can be both hindering and furthering progress. "Shutting them out" would be to cheat yourself out of the learning experience we are provided, and in any event can't be done. As the Cs said, we need to discern between limiting emotions based on assumptions and those that lead to limitless possibilities. In fact, I think we might be able to influence the world more than we know if we can pull this off, i.e. gathering knowledge/experience "in the trenches" and combining that knowledge and true emotions with projecting truthful goodwill, based on faith in the process, to uplift those that are ready and deserve it.
Yes, mediation and breath work are proving most helpful at the moment to calm the calm the body and remain alert. I think I understand very little, but I'm at least creating better conditions in which to learn!That’s the thing, we in this group, know that, but do we really? Very often we see ourselves not enjoying any show, on the contrary. Which technically is not to enjoy it in the literal sense but to just observe. I think that’s why meditation is necessary. So we can understand the concepts we know on paper, compare them to our reactions/feelings and measure how much have we really understood that and others concept.
This kind of thought and attitude is exactly what the PTB/4D STO forces want, everyone highly emotional, divided and the us vs them mentality. Everyone needs to stop looking at this as a left vs right problem, because let’s face it there are wackos on both sides, and instead look at it as people being radicalized to the extreme by forces unseen such as their social media feeds. The more hate being spewed by both sides and the angrier and angrier people get this whole thing will become a self fulfilling prophecy of a civil war. The easiest and most cost effective way to destabilize a country is a civil war. Because if the country is dysfunctional enough it would do the work for the enemy. I’d say the US is pretty dysfunctional enough alright especially now. Try to keep looking at the bigger picture and from a higher perspective. Someone (something) is radicalizing these people and we need to recognize that. Let’s keep a clear head here folks and stop feeding the monsters. I’m sure there’s people on here who remember the movie Wargames. “The only winning move is to not play the game”For all the talk about "creating division", we shouldn't pretend that the absolute, soul-smashing insanity of the left during the last 20 years (much longer, really) doesn't exist. These people are insane, many are psychos, and it all created an environment of complete inversion of reality. And they have infected a great many minds, even "normal" people by ponerological osmosis. The only way to fight this is to create a harsh atmosphere and a society that sends a clear message that this is off-limits now, and there will be consequences for promoting this insanity.
The problem at the heart of liberalism is to pretend that all people are equal, and therefore "everyone needs an equal voice". Great in theory, but in practice there is a hierarchy: some people are better than others. There are psychos, there are OPs, there are authoritarian followers etc. And then there are bright, wise people with a soul. OPs/authoritarian followers are like children that need firm guidance for society to succeed, and for that, toxic influences need to be removed or minimized. Part of this is to "cancel" the crazy ones, shun them socially, and punish them swiftly in the case of criminal offenses. Division is only bad if it's not based in reality, and not geared towards good. Dividing good from evil on the other hand is necessary. Yes, there is a lot of "outrage bait", but some outrage is more than justified.
Now, do I trust Trump and gang to do the right thing with all this, always? Hell no. But if they do something right, then I won't critizise them because of some principles that only enable the insanity to go unchecked. Will "they" use all of this to effect a "program change" and create some new, different insanity to smash souls? Of course they will try, that's what 4D STS do. But that is speculative, whereas the soul-smashing by the left has been going on for a long time, and frankly I have suffered a whole lot from it, as have so many others. And I don't mean "direct suffering" in the sense of having been put in jail or hurt. But deep, agonizing soul-suffering, the kind that 4D STS thrive on, by being forced to live in an upside-down world of LIES, and being forced to participate in these LIES.
So yeah, if they are going after these lunatics, I'll cheer. It is a rebalancing, cosmic justice, and reality reasserting itself.
It is very likely that to Erika Kirk the world she now finds herself in without her husband and the father of her children looks very surreal as a result of terrible shock. The brain cannot take it in all at once. Shock has a purpose, it mitigates feeling these strong emotions all at once, and acts like a buffer. Some people describe it as 'going through the motions'. I can only wish her the very best, raising two children by herself is hard in the best of times.
Roommate: Why?
Robinson: Why did I do it?
Roommate: Yeah
Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I'm able to grab my rifle on scene, I'll have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it.
Roommate: How long have you been planning this?
Robinson: A bit over a week, I believe. I can get close to it, but there's a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't wanna chance it.
Robinson: I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle, I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpa's rifle. IDEK if it's had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints, I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. Didn't have the ability or time to bring it with. I might have to abandon it, and hope they don't find prints.
Candace Owens did a brilliant job of calling out all the suspects, definitely more sided on Israel... And blatantly showing how messed up the information from the FBI is.
Can't wait to see what else she pulls up. Can't believe she said "over my dead body, which I'm sure can be arranged"!!!
I didn't say that. I said that I wouldn't be surprised to find out I was wrong about many of my conclusions. The main point being not to be overly confident. If I have derailed the thread, my bad and my apologies. My intention was the opposite of that outcome, fwiw. I would like the conversation to be free flowing and the dynamic positive. Maybe it's just me, but I feel one way to do that is to speculate on a range of theories, even if they're all variations of a core one, and test the evidence against them, and it's easier to do that when not too attached to one particular theory - again, at least for me. But I'll leave it there!Saying,"I wouldn't be surprised if every possible explanation could be true" isn't very useful in whittling down the options to the most likely.
I had that coming by adding "or really anything in between or outside at this point." I mainly had in mind the ones Luc and Niall mentioned, which I initially commented on. Of course, I agree that there are some options that are so unlikely as to be not worth discussing. But I would at least enjoy reading a solid case for Barney!You also wouldn't be surprised, I presume, if barney the purple dinosaur was the real shooter? I jest of course, but there's a point in it.
Again, that wasn't my point. If that's how it came across, I didn't express it clearly. It's not that "almost any conclusion" is possible. It's that there is more than one plausible conclusion worth considering, without resorting to Barney.Reminding everyone that, absent "total knowledge", almost any conclusion is possible is not conducive to a free flowing conversation and a positive energy dynamic in a conversation that aims to come to as close an approximation of the truth as possible, which involves pulling on the large dataset around past similar events and all other relevant information.

Not sure if the person reading the texts said "prints", was a bit hard to tell. There seems to be more, but that's where the video cut off.
I’ve seen comment like this pop up in other places. I can’t say I like or appreciate them at all because really we know not much about her, how she conducts her private life, how much of a handle she has on her emotions and mental faculties.I just watched his Wife's tribute. It felt very performative. If it isn't, I apologise. It actually felt deliberately performative........furthering the feel of the post-truth/gaslighting 2020 world. The more lies people believe, the more conditioned they are for greater ones etc.
I just watched it too. That was a bomb. It wasn't clear whether she was implying or not that she actually had the entire letter from Kirk to Bibi, but if she does (or equally incriminating emails), her next videos may be quite something.
I pray that she has good protection and a reliable network
I just watched his Wife's tribute. It felt very performative.
She used her pain and grief as a weapon, intentionally "these widows cries will be a battle cry"
It should be noted (again) that the younger generation is very anti-Israel, and more aware of it's crimes.
It was his audience of younger people that pushed him to question the narrative.
The latest:the murder of the CEO by Luigi was designed to frighten the top 1% into following along. "We'll protect you" from the angry masses, but only if you stick to the script.
New York State terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the defendant in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive last year, were dismissed on Tuesday, including a first-degree murder count that could have landed him in prison for the rest of his life.
The judge overseeing the case, Gregory Carro, said he had found the evidence behind the charges “legally insufficient.” Mr. Mangione, 27, also faces federal charges, and is still charged in New York with second-degree murder, for which he faces a sentence of 25 years to life, among nine other counts. Those cases will proceed, though no trial dates have been set.
In charging Mr. Mangione with terrorism, the Manhattan district attorney’s office seemed to acknowledge the seismic effect of a shooting that sent shock waves through American society and set off a groundswell of support for a defendant protesting the nation’s health care system. But the judge’s decision means that while Mr. Mangione may ultimately be proved a murderer, New York’s legal system will have nothing to say about the broader implications of his actions.
The decision by Justice Carro is a blow to the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. Mr. Bragg had argued that a terrorism charge was warranted because Mr. Mangione had targeted the chief executive, Brian Thompson, in the media capital of the world, Midtown Manhattan, at the beginning of a busy morning, hoping to create a spectacle that would help further his message.
This reads like it was written by the FBI to corroborate their story.Here are some fuller versions and screenshots:
Interesting. No doubt Owens's conversion also influenced him.Just want to add on to this that, based on the reporting by Max Blumenthal, Kirk was moving towards Catholicism because he was bothered by Evangelical Christianity's unconditional support for Israel:
Owens's courage is phenomenal!Can't wait to see what else she pulls up. Can't believe she said "over my dead body, which I'm sure can be arranged"!!!
