FR won’t let me see your comment on the thread, but I read it on my ping page.
To me, truth is akin to God. Of course, all truths in this mortal realm are temppral, always sometwhat partial or relative; just becasue of individual limitations, the changes of time, the fact that no fallible individual can ever know “everything” and so on.
But still, objective reality aka truth exists. And lies and deceit exist. I’ve said this many times but your comment brings it up in my mind again. If a person thirsts for truth MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE - and has the humility to admit “maybe I don’t know” and is willing to kick out any beliefs, no matter how fondly held, if proven wrong, then that person will know as much truth as it is possible to (in this temporal realm). About that which they want to know the truth.
I also think that FR has been a magnet for some extremely serious malefactors, both professional and lone wolf. The revolutionaries need secrecy, they need the truth about 0bastard’s real history and life completely out of sight and hidden. Why else would Ayers have written “Dreams”? Why the forged documents? Why the hidden educational records? Why the passport breakin? Why the crimes committed at the HI DoH? Why the long list of lies, cover ups, a whole industry actually?
Obviously to cover up the truth. The myth that he is the son of SAD and the Kenyan, was born in HI on such and such a date, and the rest of it - pure fabrication. The whole story is a lie. If anyone is honest, they will say “I don’t know who he is, what his name is, who is mother and father are, where he was born, or when is his date of birth”. And start from there.
Anyone saying that his actual identity doesn’t matter is on the side of lies. It DOES matter. If it didn’t matter, the revolutionaries wouldn’t have made up an entire false identity.
The fact that your comments are ridiculed, vilified, attacked and condemned - and you also attacked personally - shows how dangerous the truth is, to the revolutionaries. Am I saying that everyone on FR who attacks you and your comments is part of the cabal? No, I am not. Some are just loners who are emotionally attached to their personal myths, some may be useful idiots. But I have no doubt whatsoever that some of them are part of the cabal that put him in the WH and want to keep him there.
Anyone who fights for and seeks truth is a hero. The truth is all that matters, nothing else is worth a tinker’s damn.
“The uninformed must improve their deficit, or die.” – Cheshire cat
I have used Thomas Jefferson, Gandhi, Winston Churchill and a variety of other really smart luminaries as spokespeople for enlightened conflict and curiosity and fighting ignorance.
And now I can add the Cheshire cat to the list (you may have missed him because I think he disappeared right as he said the smart thing).
In Wonderland if you sought wisdom the queen sought to take off your head. On the other hand wisdom was the only way to keep your head.
Whew.
Now there is some conflict to deal with.
Being uninformed is truly a type of death.
It may end up being the slow death of ignorance but it is death in the end. Because being uninformed means you get left behind (or someone who is moving decides to cut off your head … like the Queen in Wonderland).
I am not going to waste a lot of words on a topic I have written a lot about. Fighting ignorance. Feeding your curiosity. Continuously learning.
And even unlearning to learn (which is really what I believe the Cheshire cat is truly talking about) is an important path to living a full Life. We all have a knowledge deficit. Similar to your own household balance sheet if you go too far in debt it is very very difficult to get out of debt and a stable base. More importantly … if you don’t solve your intellectual deficit you just die in society. You will get passed by those who keep growing. Simply … knowledge is power. Knowledge has a value.
Bottom line.
Being uninformed is silly. And, frankly, being uninformed decreases your value … and value in Life.
With all available to us there is no excuse for remaining uninformed.
Oh. That is, of course, you seek to not live a high value Life.
I guess it just means you have decided to die intellectually. Or, as the Cheshire Cat does, disappear from Life.
