Those who would shoot down people who speak the truth come in two flavors.
One type are of a Conservative ideology who have been beaten down by all the rhetoric from the Nation’s Marxist leftists with incessant accusations about racism, etc. They’ve gotten into their heads that staying silent will keep them on everyone’s good side or something.
What they don’t realize is that reaction is exactly what the Marxists want – silence to their oppression.
The other type are the concern trolls – those from the enemy side who sow dissention in our ranks.
The first type need to be made away that speaking truth is never radical.
I think some don’t know who is telling the truth and don’t want to stick their necks out for what could be disinformation or somebody who’s mistaken. Anonymity on the web makes it difficult to know who is who. We know the “MSM” is compromised, but some folks think the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.
And even if the evidence is clear, a lot of people are afraid of being mocked. I think they think it’s either mock the claims, or be mocked yourself. It’s never really about the evidence; the mockery is always to keep it from being about the evidence.
There’s a pattern of how the real stories usually break. Usually some peon makes a claim/suggestion that everybody calls crazy. The MSM ridicules or ignores and the society as a whole blows it off, but a few people pay attention. They are called crazy. Then evidence trickles out, with usually only the “crazies” paying attention but gradually a nagging suspicion develops in more and more people. Then something big enough to be undeniable happens and the more daring “journalists” or commentators make brief reference to it. And then when all the ridicule has played out and it’s not “dangerous” to anybody’s reputation to talk about it, the “cool people” who can’t afford to have anybody mock them start to bring it up.
Yet somehow the people who were the tip of the spear - the ones pointing out truth and getting ridiculed for it - never get any apologies and never get treated as credible because of what they said that gets vindicated. That’s because the process NEEDS to keep those people as the tip of the spear - the people who absorb all the crap spewed forth by people in the throes of normalcy bias. It’s a buffer for the people who can’t/won’t risk ridicule.
Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Trey Gowdy, etc, for instance, are gonna sit out on the eligibility “crazy talk” until it’s pretty much acknowledged by everybody that we had it right all along. If they became like us (the sacrificial lambs) they would have no POLITICAL chance to be the opposition when it comes time to actually get something real done, when something like Sheriff Joe’s information comes out.
We have to have that buffer because the news media is a weapon against us - a weapon that can be effective because we have people who hear no news except that. I was with my parents a few days last week. They know the MSM lies but they don’t do the internet so all they get is MSM. I hate to scare them; it would be so much easier for them to adjust to the realities on the ground if they had some kind of warning, some way of transitioning them from the fairy tale world presented by the MSM into the real world. The process we have for that is what is going on right here right now, with a lot of people posting here and other places. It’s the tip of the spear gradually pulling along the rest of the spear.
