some points Re: fake picture.

1. Yes, it was fake, but there are similar things out there that are NOT fake. If you want to see some really creepy “art” do a search to find out what kind of art the Podesta brothers have in their homes. I forget whether it was John or Tony or both. The Washington Post FEATURED it in the Sunday magazine section a few years ago and people acted like it was perfectly fine and if you didn’t like it you were stupid and uncultured.

2. Be aware of this manipulative propaganda technique: If they want you to disbelieve some horrible thing, they will try to conflate it with something else that is provably false and also horrible or preposterous. The idea is that once they prove that ONE of the things is false, the vast majority of people will assume BOTH things are false.

Example: They will put out memes/articles, etc that say something like “I saw politicianX having lesbian sex with bigfoot”. So if there are rumors flying around that politicianX is a lesbian and they don’t want you to know that, they figure you will focus on the unlikelihood of bigfoot’s existence and just ignore the whole thing because you assume the person who wrote it is a kook and that the whole thing is wrong.

I have been watching (from as much a distance as possible) the stories of pedophilia. I don’t think that every dirty politician is a pedophile. But I believe that some are. I predict that they are going to try to throw out the charges against some of them by proving that others are not or by proving that auxiliary crimes are false. They will try to make us look stupid for believing some PART of the story that we get wrong and then try to invalidate the entire thing.

I’m not saying that no one has tortured children or any of the other horrific things that are being claimed or hinted at. I have no idea and the thought of it is so horrifying that it is hard to believe. (But people didn’t believe they were gassing the Jews in WW2 either, because it was so horrifying that it was hard to believe.) But just remember that just because ONE part of the accusation turns out to be false (or unprovable) doesn’t mean that ALL of the accusations are false.

Yah, one of the Podestas' sculptures was of a decapitated naked body (stylized somewhat) posed so that it was arching backwards.

As it turns out it was the *exact* pose Jeffrey Dahmer (cannibal homosexual murderer) used for one of his victims, according to police and/or newspaper photos.

Your logic is impeccable, generally, and this post is necessary and a must read for the feint hearted amongst us. People are saying a LOT of things, and some of them will be inaccurate. We musn't throw the baby out with the bath water.

If we do, we fall for the left's tactics. This I will not do.

With this one caveat. I do believe at least one lesbian had sex with a bigfoot.

How else do you explain Chelsea Clinton?

None if this very lengthy post should set aside the fact that any of us should allow intentionally false memes, pictures, statements, etc. and we should call each other out (peer review) if it is found that a post is just simply wrong on the facts. Otherwise, the FReeQs are no better than Dan “False But Accurate” Rather or Christopher “Pee-Pee Dossier” Steele. We should practice good posting hygiene. This goes for false Q parodies that appear to have Q format and seem to be intended to mislead or be a lame attempt at humor. Not funny and it takes significant bandwidth to unwind.

Well said, regarding tactics and memes, generally. I concur 188%.

We have been conditioned all our lives to react defensively when accused of the most vile things, and to throw down our weapons and fight bare handed.

This must stop.

I say, in this war, the ends justify the means.

Sue me.

I know most won't agree with me on this, and that is our sad reality. We must needs then fight from a disadvantage if our own soldiers refuse to cross certain lines.

Such are the rules of engagement. But let's not send our dirty fighters from the ranks. We need them all or we will never win.
