This reminds me of an interview I heard a couple of years ago and forgive me, I cannot remember where I heard it. Maybe on Glenn Beck. The guy was retired military of some sort and his job was to debrief folks who escaped from NK. When he interviewed one man and the escapee realized that the Kim’s weren’t God, that everything he had known for his whole life was a lie, he was completely undone. It was one of the most incredibly sad things I have ever heard and I cannot imagine having your whole world rendered false. He said the same thing happened with every single escapee.

I've observed on a few occasions that the US public is brainwashed just the same as those in NK. The only difference is the contents of the message. In both cases, the message is a false and misleading image of reality.

Just saying, "You can't handle the truth" isn't just a cliche. People can handle it, but it is shocking.

Had intimations of that being true for decades and STILL, the realization of how far, how deep, how ubiquitous was shattering. But, humans are basically pragmatic and survival-oriented. Didn’t take long for the depression to become anger and the anger to morph to determination. And I’m a physically small elderly female. The young, the fit, those with a lifetime ahead of them and the means to retaliate, will.

I pray they exercise discernment. Blind lashing-out won’t accomplish anything positive. Personally,I will resist and attempt to circumvent those who want me or mine neutralized.
