I brought the current fund-raising activity to my wife's attention last night, and she was concerned that any donation we make to SOTT may flag us as financially backing a domestic terrorist group. My immediate reaction was laughter, but after thinking about it, I'm not so sure it was funny. Things are getting pretty bad here in the States, as you all well know...it's looking like end-game time, soon. I'm certainly going to send something to the Boulder address, but it may be $5 here and there spread out over several Hallmark moments, LOL.
Indeed, that's how they take over - make everyone afraid for themselves. Then they make everyone feel that, in order to protect themselves, they must denounce others. The PTB destroy the bonds of society.
The U.S. has been being conditioned, for a very long time, in separating each of us from each other, to be narcissistic to the extreme. It makes it so much easier to divide and conquer.
When you think about it, and it has been brought up many times here, the way they get us to do what they want is through fear. Fear is the real enemy. The PTB keep us afraid of them, of being caught doing the "wrong" thing, of saying the "wrong" thing, and now, it seems of even thinking the "wrong" thing. They have openly shown us that they are not above using torture. So that, too, keeps us in line through fear. And even, as Laura has said, in turning in our neighbors to save our own skin. And the neighbors don't even have to be doing anything "wrong".
If you are afraid of being noticed by donating to a "domestic terrorist group" (geeze, I can't even believe anyone would see us that way), it's too late. Just being on this forum has already been noticed. If you've kept up on the alphabet groups, you should know that they already know just about everything about all of us.
I would rather do what I know is right and pay the penalty (of course, being smart about these things is paramount), than to live a life where I do what I know is wrong just to save my skin and be safe.
If donating to a worthy cause, one that is set on showing the truth of things to those who are looking, helping people be healthier and aware of those who can hurt us, is going to get me in serious trouble, then so be it.
Just writing that last sentence has me shaking my head. Who would've thought that doing something that is our business, and in a true democracy, our right, would be subject to perusal by anyone. This world has really gone down the toilet.
