The obvious trolls are NOT the problem. It’s the people who freep beside us , who befriend us. People who gain our trust and even lead us.

It ironic that this material is posted at this time. It certainly explains a lot

Those taken in by this should not blame themselves. They truly Were targeted because of their strength and because they could be used

Enough said

Thanks for the ping Lucy!

I don’t trust in my “religion” or even in my “church.”

I trust in a supernatural God who has performed tangible miracles.

Hypocrites for Satan’s sake will get their just due in eternity if not sooner. They don’t cause me any concern. God looks out for me just fine.

[HiTech RedNeck]

No... trust in a God that you can independently reach. I’ve talked about how to do it on my web site, but don’t even follow ME. Because I could be wrong from time to time. Look for God.

[hoosiermama]

He and I have a very personal relationship. My best friend. My rock my savior in every sense of the word. I have refused to become a member of an organized man made church since a teen. That doesn’t mean indont attend and contribute regularly. That’s part of His calling to me but it may be different to others. That’s between to two of them
Miracles and working in/thru my life would take volumes to share!

[OneWingedShark]

Yes they do. And so do I, but it’s not what you think. It’s parapsychology, cryptozoology, séances, mind control, far-seeing and a host of other things they’ve been working on for centuries and centuries. For instance: I have to laugh when people say alchemy is “disproven” and long gone. If only. I was in the intelligence field for years, so this isn’t just out of some book.

Why cryptozoology? — Granted that there are some kooks, there really are rare and uncommon beasties (we put them in zoos), and there are some interesting stories of things like [Native American] thunderbirds — and my grandpa has a couple interesting stories form people he'd come across, the two that touch on cyrptozoology would be these:

1. My grandpa had a cowboy-friend who was riding along one day and came across a track that looked like a giant snake trail, like someone had dragged/dug the path with a tire perpendicular to the ground. Anyway, his horse was skittish and would refuse to cross that trail.
2. I think it was the same cowboy-friend, but anyway he was out in the New Mexico desert towards the mountains of the continental divide IIRC [perhaps near Cuba, NM] and he came across a Stegosaurus skeleton. — when he tried to find his way back to that place he couldn't find it again among the mountain/semi-mountain rough terrain.

Rats!

I was THIS close to taking over FreeRepublic, and now these clowns go and spill the gruel.

There's 13 years down the drain...

Keeper of Odd Knowledge?
And how does that work to undermine?

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Keeper Of Odd Knowledge = kook ? (or infiltrator, operative, plant, informer ?)

[gr8eman]

Yes...but the slides have US classification markings.

bkmk

Who thinks of this kind of crap?!

[21twelve]

I just came across a comment on linkedin, a professional engineer had a comment with somebody else’s link on linkedin and saying the guy should be shot or in jail, with a photo (like from a awareness poster or something) of some guy beating his wife. REALLY odd! I wonder if this is the type of thing that was going on?

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Insane!

Every freak of nature has crawled out from under their rock, I’m so annoyed at all the filth and stupidity!

[bgill]

That guy always makes me smile.

[hoosiermama]

Jim read this thread posted by 2nd division vet

IMO this is exactly what we have been seeing from a couple of freepers

It’s given name to what has been going on in any thread dealing with Obama s eligibility

It’s one thing for Obots to label skeptics with Alinsky jargon. But totally another for people to present an initial friendly I’m one of you and then sabotage the legitimate researchers

[PA Engineer]

Agreed. IMHO we have a couuple doing that. That is why I only lurk now on the eligibility threads. It is amazing how some came out of the blue, post only on one subject, start out as supportive and then follow the disinformation protocals.

They do the same thing with many candidates around elections. By the time they're done, no one wants to vote. Same methods, but not as sophisticated as eligibility.

When I pointed to one individual they were posting only on one subject, they changed their modus operandi.

Ping for later

The obvious trolls are NOT the problem. It’s the people who freep beside us , who befriend us.

But while exposing this craft might seem to combat those that engage in it, it's real accomplishment is the increasing distrust and isolationism that results from such subterfuge, and resultant persecution of the remnant that speak the truth.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matthew 24:12-13)

And actually, i am more concerned over what liberals will use this NSA scandal for, then for what it was doing. The former can allow the liberals to better control it, versus looking for terrorists.

[daniel1212]

Well, except sometimes I wonder about folks who have really gone off the deep end with something theological. I wonder if they are trying to disrupt Christian unity.

Often it is because Christianity has disrupted them, by not going along with their fringe tangential aspect that they major on as one of the elite enlightened.

[hoosiermama]

There is reason for concern

[daniel1212]

If you think they haven’t infiltrated every known religion, cult, philosophy, club and other organization on Earth then you’re not getting how they spend a good portion of that money

If so, Scientology might be visited to hone their craft, while a real Bible preaching/living church would make them feel comfortable.

Think about all the economic/financial info you’re privy to before the markets even wake up.
