Excellent point.

Another factor to consider: When we are focused on the immediate situation and protecting our loved ones, we are not stopping to consider the cause of the emergency. We are so focused on rescue, escape, figuring out what to do next, figuring out what to do if the emergency hits closer to home. Almost no one is stopping and saying “Gee, I wonder who planned this and why.”

Also there is the sucker punch factor. If you’ve ever been hit hard and swiftly and unexpectedly, the immediate reaction can be fight or flight, but it can also be freeze. A person can be so flabbergasted at the bolt out of the blue that he is just too dazed to react.

Doesn’t have to be a physical punch. It can be a shocking emotional jolt or surprising revelation. Imagine suddenly being told out of the blue that your spouse is cheating or your dad is not your real dad or some other completely unsuspected piece of info. For most of us, disbelief would be the first reaction. Yeah if we already suspected that would be different. Then we’d be asking for more info. But if there had not been a whiff of suspicion, the first reaction would be shock, disbelief, then probably an attempt to deny/disprove it - kind of like the Q trolls, eh?

This bears repeating. If the public is given too much information over too short a period of time the reaction WILL be shock and disbelief and then denial.

Some information will be so shocking the general public if made aware of it, will dismiss all the information.

Does anyone seriously believe the general public would believe or accept Hillary eating babies? Much easier in the long run for them to belief financial graft and selling secrets to other governments. That’s treason, that’s good enough.

Same with many of the others. There are crimes the public can accept, go with that.

I just saw this post from Neon Revolt’s Gab thread posted about 7 hrs. ago from what looks like 8 chan. I tried to copy it using what little instructions I’ve read on our thread, but was not successful.

After fiddling around I finally got something that I think should link. If anyone knows how to post this whole thing, I’d appreciate it if they would please post it. Also PM me how you did it. Thanks.

Crossing fingers that it links.
