Floyd, I have to commend you. You give some great advice on here, exercise great patience, and always seem to be able to inject humor in your posts. That you can laugh and make light is commendable. I sure hope to get my sense of humor back soon. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> Question...Being that you've been wise to most of this since 95, and reading your recount of listening to the 97 interview with the ex illuminati guy, did you feel as much a sense of urgency back then to encourage friends and family to put down the Budweiser, turn the TV off, and start paying attention ? Upon your first good dose of reality, do you feel that the degree of urgency was the same back then as it is now? I've been wondering this all week and figured this was <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>the board</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to ask. <br><br> I only ask because I have found myself feeling this way. I have be honest and admit I only broke out of the matrix rather recently compared to many of you. It is very likely that if it wasn't for my being ill and having two surgeries in recent years, I might still be pretty clueless via mainstream "alternative" gatekeepers.(*Goodman, Air America, NPR) Like so many others, it was 9-11 that did it for me. <br> <br><br> What is amazing to me though, is that I am <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>still</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> tumbling down this rabbit hole. I think in this ADD age, we've been programmed to think we should have it all figured out after a few sound bites. To still be tumbling after vociferously ingesting information nonstop for two years, has been quite a shock to my system. This hole is damn DEEP.<br><br>In any case, I was reading an older <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005/07/signalnoise.html">blog post</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> of Jeff's, and came across this part that reminded me of some of you patient veterans on the board that have cut us <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>young 'un's</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> some slack. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"We need to be humble enough to sometimes back up the way we came, saying "I wouldn't go down there if I were you" to people we pass on the way, rather than bash our heads stubbornly against dead ends, shouting "After me!" There is, after all, a synchronicity to ordinary events, so we should admit that it is present in extraordinary events as well."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br> Very wise words that make me wish I would've noticed this sooner. It's such a shock upon first learning some of this stuff that it's difficult to heed that warning at first. I still have a hard time. I felt that everyone should know and know <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>now</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Or at least friends and family...<br><br> Realize, thumper, when you're on this site, there are many here who know wayyy more than you or I, and still others who seem content to keep it that way. I think the trick is to resign yourself to believing that you really don't know anything for sure and go from there. Simply bring the material to the board and present it for discussion honestly and sincerely. That seems to be what you've done, anyhow, until the knives came out. <br><br> Anyone who is too dismissive, dissuassive, or illogically stubborn, about any particular viewpoint you raise, should set off warning bells and whistles for you. Don't let yourself waste too much time and energy chasing that red herring as they are very prevalent on any popular forum these days. Some make a living and/or seem to get a kick out of wasting your time and playing mind games to infuriate and discourage you. <br><br> Of course this is just my opinion taken from my own experiences. I recognize thumpers zeal and realize his intentions are most likely very pure. But Ive come to the realization, in spite of all the fear mongering propaganda that would have us believe otherwise, the internet is still the wild frontier. Expect lots of glowing eyes in the dark and wolves in sheeps clothing when you delve into these subjects that take you deep in the woods. I still am amazed that simple intellectual curiousity can warrant this attention from the blackop bunch. Seems so pointless and sadistic.<br><br> <br>Sorry for the long ramble. I just felt I should write this as I've been guilty of being baited on this board as well. This documentary, although rehashing, is probably the best video to give someone who is still in the dark. A good vid to give friends and/or family. YOu can DL both parts off the torrent board of conspiracycentral.net It is very well made and entertaining. <br><br> I want to thank you though Floyd, and the others on this board, who exercise patience with us rookies in our quest for the truth. The point was too thank you and I got carried away. One thing is clear though, we should all be on the same team at this point. <p></p><i></i>
