“Read it all.”

No, don’t have to. A totalatarian government kills one of its opponents. Happens every day in this world and throughout world history. It is not a new thing.

How many times, daily, does that happen in China?

How is what the Biden administration’s attempts to imprison Trump differ at all from what Putin is doing and what exactly does THAT mean for the rest of the world. I would say it has a much more profound impact on the world, and this nation.

This guy was never a big deal. He was a bigger deal to leftists in the west than he ever was in Russia.

In fact, the murder of Gonzalo Lira by Zelensky in a Ukraine prison is much more relevant to America because he was an American citizen.

You need to worry about your own government which makes Putin look like a saint.

There are lots of things that I know nothing about and refuse to investigate, without experiencing the slightest shame.

But I DID take a brief minute to investigate your boy Wayne W. Dyer.

He’s just another self-important blathering Ed.D. Like Jill Biden.

I wish I had that brief minute back.

Biden’s DOJ is on track to arrest a J6er a day in 2024

Caseload is >1,300 with promises to reach a total of 2,000 defendants

Bogus charges, rigged trials, coerced plea deals, conflicted judges, hostile juries, excessive prison sentences

But Navalny!

Navalny's Death Demonstrates Selective Outrage over Political Prisoners As Joe Biden brags about arresting, convicting, and imprisoning Americans who protested his election on January 6, his outrage over the death of a Russian "political prisoner" is itself an outrage.

Obviously, Putin is paranoid and insecure

He saw all the sympathy Navalny was getting, so he sent the word out to his sycophants - “Ruin this guy’s reputation, he’s making me look bad”

Thus, the well-organized smear campaign we see here today on FR

“You act as if this man’s death means a damn to middle-class America. it doesn’t, and since we haven’t a clue what happened to him it’s best you take a deep breath and concentrate on the problems facing US.”

I agree with your post, all of which is shown above. I wonder if it’s in our news as a distraction from Biden’s problems and to support our sending more money to Ukraine.

If you pay attention you will know that we are not sending money to Ukraine. Actually what were sending was stuff that was lumped in the media as $$$.

Currently, we are currently sending the stuff to Ecuador and Cezch Republic if news reports can be believed. They and who knows what others are giving their old weapons stock that may actually be Russian, to Ukraine.

May I add: Navalny was imprisoned and then died in prison. Bad Putin. Julian Assange rots in jail and crickets from the Leftist cult that runs the world. Assange’s fate will be the same. They’ll never let him tell what he knows.

“’The deepest form of ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse to investigate.’ Wayne w. Dyer”

He also said “If all you do is follow the herd, you’ll just be stepping in poop all day.”

In this day of push-of-a-button publishing, it is impossible to read everything someone puts in front of you - even knowing you’ll be called ignorant if you refuse.

If you don’t believe me, just try reading the entire internet in alphabetical order. and then let me know how that works out for you.

A better plan is to filter out the 99.9% that is obviously garbage, and then, of the remainder, use common sense and critical thinking to prioritize what to pursue.

Being older, I do sympathize with your instinct to equate open-mindedness with reading everything.

My grandparents and great uncles were all “well-read” which meant you had studied all of “the classics”, which could fit into a home library, and that you read the NYT and listened to “the news” every evening.

That ethic is no longer plausible - writers now outnumber readers and the fist of publishing and distribution is zero. There there is no longer a vetting process, so we must filter out most of what passes for “information” on one basis or another.

For doing so, we must tolerate being called ‘ignorant’ by people who we filter out.
