“You won’t be able to tell what the truth is. I feel so sorry for all of you. Trust God the Holy Spirit for the truth.”


Well, the “Holy Spirit” isn’t telling me how Reagan wanted the Wall in 1986. But Reagan never said it publically.

What Reagan’s officials have said is the following:

“I don’t think a border wall as such was discussed at the time. Mainly because it hadn’t quite come to that,” said Clark Judge, a speechwriter and aide in the Reagan White House. “If there were other things contemplated, they were never really acted on.”

...

“And Lord sakes, people mentioned everything,” Simpson said: vehicles, airplanes, more agents, more money and yes, maybe some physical barriers. He does not, however, recall talk of a wall.

The Holy Spirit will tell you if you are being misled and whether you should trust the information you are receiving. Test the spirits. Perhaps you could find a library that still keeps the original microfiche of newspapers and magazines that existed back in the mid 1980's, not the OCR re-writes that can be manipulated. Look for the photos of the original magazines and newspapers on microfiche. I had encyclopedias from the 1950's that had information you can't find anywhere today. And don't just assume that old information is true or false. Use it to learn what the people of that day were taught to believe.

“I don’t think a border wall as such was discussed at the time. Mainly because it hadn’t quite come to that,” said Clark Judge, a speechwriter and aide in the Reagan White House. “If there were other things contemplated, they were never really acted on.”

Yes, it had come to that. Most of the republican rank and file (not the globalists and business/chamber of commerce) wanted a wall and the republican politicians pretended to make sure they felt represented. Even though they didn't really represent them. People felt betrayed back then when Reagan signed the amnesty bill. But they were assuaged by the wall which was promised but never built.

Reagan had people who were with him but didn't like his policies being in there just as Trump did. And the republicans will gaslight same as the democrats. There is one big deep state uniparty remember. There are those today who say Reagan wasn't even trying to be conservative.

I guess that's why all the RINOs and liberals loved Reagan so much./s
