"Perhaps one has to take the dozens, maybe now hundreds of snowballing stories, to see the overall puzzle picture start to make sense. I think the pieces are fitting together for the most part. YMMV."

this is exactly what we must do....view all sources, and then do our own critical thinking....not everything we read is true but I would bet many if not most are true, especially if multiple people are stating it in different ways...

apparently, re Juan O Savin, there are infiltrators among the patriot pundits, and even sometimes I question JOS himself.....but overall, listen, digest, learn, accept or not accept what they say..

Agreed. Disinformation is coming from both sides, white hats and black hats.

Our job is to use noggin and heart to ferret out truth, and reject lies.

Regarding the white hat lies, I think it an honor to be part of their spread, as we are digital soldiers (as Gen Flynn coined the term), and if a white hat lie is required to out maneuver the black hats, I'm honored to be some small part of the operation.

OTOH, black hat lies must be countered and exposed, dark to light.

My brand of “critical thinking” tends to go somewhat opposite. When I see multiple people stating the same thing in different ways, the cynical side of me thinks there must be a common source (which may or may not be true), which the multiple people are then stating in different ways in order to make it seem more authentic or original, when it’s just a re-hash of another’s thoughts.

But maybe that’s just me. The reality is probably somewhere in-between. That’s why I “wait and see what happens.” ;)
