Won’t get too detailed so I don’t accidentally dox myself or something, but I’ve been considering my life up to this point, and I can’t help but feel I definitely might’ve wound up on the wrong side of history if divine intervention and my own intuition hadn’t gotten in the way.
I know people who work at Neuralink, Facebook, Google, IBM, etc. My college was pretty successful for job placement at big name companies
I’ve been in some of the “financial centers and think tanks” of the world as a student. I was presented with opportunities to engage with their work, especially toward the end of my undergraduate career. Most of these people made me uneasy; at the time, I couldn’t place my finger on why. But I always felt the urge to keep those places at arms distance.
As a gifted kid, I feel incredibly blessed to have gotten out of public school relatively unscathed. I feel incredibly lucky I didn’t join the status quo in college despite the pressure to conform.
This refusal to conform is definitely giving me some roadblocks now that I’m trying to get started in my career, but it does feel like I’ve dodged many bullets on the journey. And I’m glad I’m not part of the hive mind like most of my peers.
Anyone else have the same experience?
Edit to say: thanks to everyone who has commented! Really appreciate knowing others have similar journeys.
Yes, I worked for the wrong side for a while. I stopped working for them over 10 years ago.
I got ousted, probably for questioning the morality of working for a client and saying I wouldn't work on that project. I was eaten up for years over the injustice of the interruption of my career, but now I see that I was very lucky.
Also, I tried at two times in my life to get into med school. Now I am so happy I didn't get accepted.
I am so fortunate to have been rejected from the wrong paths.
You are wise...glad Someone 👆 was guiding your path!
Thank you fren!
Happy you chose the correct path fren!
Non are worthy. We all fall short. Only by the grace of God are we saved. What your feeling is a humble heart. Truly a beautiful thing. Keep mediating on this thought. It's truly something we all feel yet in different ways. Jesus is just awesome like that.
To get more specific about your post. I was never behind enemy lines in the way you were but I did dodge many bullets and think often about how I could have easily been those still asleep
Amen.
The biggest shock of my life brought me back to God. I would have been in very deep trouble without His guidance and protection, even if I didn’t see it or feel it at the time.
This brings such a joy to my heart and soul to read. God is so awesome. So good. So loving. So perfect. Thank you Jesus for picking us even during some of our darkest moments. Continue to perfect our heart and soul. Let us decrease and you increase
You're feeling the Spirit today Slechta!
Amen! 🙏
Jesus has me lifted to the clouds today. Such an awesome feeling. All praise to Jesus. Blessed to be here at this moment with each and every person here. Best is yet to come. Words can not truly describe
You make me smile fren. Thank you.
I hear ya! I ask the Good Lord to speak to me like He is speaking to a 5 year old; with clear simple words so there isn't any way I can twist the words into something else.
All are worthy, no-one falls short in the end. Thinking you're a filthy sinner since birth is cabal propaganda. They corrupted the Bible like they did everything else.
The cabal is glorifying sin...
A child is naturally selfish and ego-driven and needs to be taught moral balance. Is that not enough to verify the concept of original sin?
I’m pretty sure -Matthew 19:14 covers this when it was said
“”for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these””
Belongs is a pretty strong word.
I suppose my interpretation is that children are fundamentally innocent so their “sin” is hard to hold against them as they are still learning, but the fact that they feel that impulse towards selfishness reveals the nature of Man’s heart.
Your more than free to believe what u want. God is telling me different so I'm gonna stick with him.
This is a classic case of going from healthy distrust to paranoia. Everything must be a conspiracy, nothing and no one is more powerful than the cabal and their lies, nor free of their influence.
God is more powerful than the cabal and the only cabal propaganda that exists on the topic is to draw you away from Him. What they've really achieved here isn't you distrusting them on their "corrupted Bible", it's you distrusting God and His ability to preserve His word as He said He would. They achieved exactly what they wanted to achieve, rather than what you think they wanted to achieve.
A few minutes of research on the topic of ancient manuscripts will prove to you beyond any doubt that your statement is wrong.
No serious person even disputes the issue.
It is irrefutable proof that you can hold in your hand and see with your eyes.
If you have the interest to do so.
I've spent the better part of the past year doing exactly that. I still don't read ancient Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic yet (except a few words), so I can't make as good of arguments as I would like, but the evidence I have seen shows very clearly that the bible is not what it proclaims to be.
How do you rectify that the bible isn't the same for each church? For example, the protestant version has 66 books (interesting number). The Catholic Church has 72. The final edit (72 book version) was created in 325 AD and revised in 383 AD at the various conventions, from which we got "creeds" which every good Christian must memorize and restate. These creeds were designed to nullify arguments, because there was a great deal of argument from the people and the rulers couldn't allow that. It was so not allowed in fact, that the beliefs of the Church were formally stated and written into law (including what was, prior to those laws, the controversial belief in the Trinity) in order to make everyone in the empire believe the same thing, thus uniting them, making them easier to rule. The Bible that is commonly espoused as "the whole truth" was literally the manifesto and founding document for the birth of the Holy Roman Empire. They left out over half the books of the bible, many of which are referenced in the bible we got, but not included. I wonder why...
The OT (written by people who believed they were the Chosen Race and that Israel was their "Promised Land" by God) and the NT don't even talk about the same God. Hell, even the OT has numerous Gods in it, all translated into English as just "God".
The Jews weren't even monotheistic. On the contrary, they believed in a whole pantheon of gods (that's what "Elohim" means, one of the words translated as "God" in English versions). They just believed that YHWH was their Lord God. Other areas of the world had other assigned patron gods. "Thou shalt put no other gods before me." Because there were other gods, but he was their Lord (ruler).
If you think there is no controversy on the subject of interpretation from original texts, I suggest you have never looked at anything that does not support your confirmation bias. There is so much out there. If you would like me to point you in the right direction I would be happy to do so.
You are right in pointing out the sinister count of 66 books in protestant canon.
But... How did you arrive at 72 books in the Catholic bible? Pretty easy to confirm that there are 73.
Once the canon was determined, and until the protestant revolution, all of Christianity had the following 7 books, in addition to the 66 the protestants claim:
Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon (Also known simply as “Wisdom”), Sirach (Also known as “The Wisdom of Sirach” or sometimes “Ecclesiasticus”), Baruch
Good 14 minute explanation by Jimmy Akin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKdI-kFbg3Y
I was going off of memory, faulty in this case. It was such a minor point I didn't bother to verify the memory. Thank you for pointing out the error.
With respect to your linked video, he makes a lot of assumptions in his explanation of how we got the bible we got. He assumes that it was tradition and "The Holy Spirit" that guided the final edit. But the final edit was decided at the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Constantinople almost 400 years after Jesus. My research suggests there was a great deal of controversy at the time. That was the reason these councils were formed; to end the controversy by the creation of laws, solidify rulership of the Roman Empire, and establish the divine rulership of the Holy Roman Empire. See my other comment in response to someone else directly below this (at the time of this post).
Assuming that "the Holy Spirit" guided the final edit is canon, but that doesn't make it truth. Assuming that "Tradition" is somehow related to truth is also faulty. Assuming that it was in fact tradition, when there is substantial evidence of controversy among different groups that called themselves "Christian" (followers of the teachings of Jesus) is hugely problematic. These assumptions require faith because there is substantial evidence against them.
In general, people do what they do for power. There is substantial evidence that the bible we got, and more importantly, the canon we got, was designed specifically as a power play. In fact, that's not even controversial, at least with regards to the results of all of Europe and no small part of the world being ruled by The Church (one variant or another) for almost two millennia. It was ruled by the canonical laws which were created by the same people who created the final bible. I suggest that was not coincidental.
When Catholics use the word tradition with respect to revelation, they mean all and only those things which Christ taught the apostles and commanded them to hand on, and which are called public revelation - that is, what Christ revealed and which His Church has always taught, faithfully, since it’s founding.
An obvious problem for those who want to have a Bible without a church’s authority backing it is not having any way to determine which books are or are not inspired by God, without essentially becoming their own pope (at least for themselves).
The reason it is essential there be a clear teaching authority for safeguarding and handing on faithfully all of Christ’s teaching is that otherwise you have some admixture of error, and who can resolve which is authentic vs just someone’s opinion. Thus we have 30,000+ different Protestant denominations, all claiming they are teaching only what is true, yet one can find disagreements over virtually every point of belief, including very important matters.
Oh my, another guy who watched a half of a youtube video and became the preeminent scholar on the subject worldwide.
That is because the Roman church includes the Apocrypha - works outside the accepted canon of inspired scripture, but are not in conflict with christian doctrine.
The Protestants only include canonical texts, but don't proscribe or even discourage their reading.
^TOTAL HOGWASH^ - what the hell are you talking about?
And beyond that, your comment was about THE BIBLE, not the Holy Roman Empire. I fully agree that the Roman Church or more specifically the Vatican - then and now - was and is Antichrist, which has busied itself from day one to the present in slaughtering every christian it could get it's hands on. And that has continued enmasse at least through WWII with the mass slaughter hundreds of thousands of Serbs who refused to convert to the Roman Church. A Roman Catholic Priest was hanged for his part in the genocide after the war.
You need to distinguish in your mind the difference in The Roman Church and THE BIBLE. Catholics freely admit to NOT FOLLOWING THE BIBLE. They follow their TRADITION, which they consider equal to Inspired Scripture.
What does Jesus say in Scripture about such behavior?
Up until the 1960s all Roman Catholics were PROHIBITED from reading Scripture under the penalty of mortal sin for doing so. A special dispensation could be had from a priest to allow it, but the reading must be in the presence of the priest.
DO NOT CONFLATE ROMAN CATHOLICISM WITH SCRIPTURE. They have nothing in common.
^Do^you^ever^get^tired^of^being^wrong^?
Thanks for your offer to point me in the right direction, but your massive experience of "the better part of a year," isn't as intimidating as you apparently think. And my suspicion from your near total lack of information and understanding is it is most probably that you watched nearly a whole youtube video on the subject, before appointing yourself supreme expert.
I have the better part of several decades of investigation behind me.
So, thanks anyway.
I'm not sure which part of the quote you are protesting. I didn't even say anything controversial and provided links which corroborate. They aren't the only sources that corroborate, they aren't even close. They were just paths to follow if you were interested. Nevertheless, I will further qualify the statements.
The Roman Church wrote the bible (the singular book that is a collection of other works). Their writing of it was the founding of the Holy Roman Empire. This isn't even slightly controversial. Obviously they used earlier works in their writing, so here by "writing," I mean translated a selection of earlier works (many of which translations are highly controversial) and decided what to keep, and what to throw away. This final edit was decided at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and the Council of Constantinople in 382 AD. These councils were brought together by the ruling bodies (Emperor and God-Emperor respectively) to codify (make into law) certain beliefs and to create the formal church and ruling body (Holy Roman Empire). These councils created all Christian canon specifically to end the debate, which evidence suggests was very controversial at the time, on what Jesus was really saying, who he was, and more importantly, who We The People are in relation to Jesus and God.
The creation of the idea that Jesus is our ruler, our "Lord" God, was created at these councils, by setting him up as the only Son of God, where he said specifically, we are all the Children of God (AKA Split Aparts from Source AKA the Divine Spark). Many earlier Christians held that Jesus was showing us our connection to Source, our Divinity. Of course you can't rule Divine beings, so the church codified into law that that was not true. The church, which set itself up as our ruler, separated us from Source, and wrote the bible (massive edits) to ensure that those beliefs remained. They injected into Revelations a circularly defined Divinity of the book to create the deeply rooted belief that any debate on their interpretation is not allowed because it goes against our Ruler, The Lord God (YHWH in this case, the same entity that was the Ruler of the jews). Revelations itself is hugely problematic and was likely derived from an earlier (pre-Jesus) prophecy with several injections to close loopholes by creating circular arguments.
All later derivations of Christian religion use the same canonical beliefs as those laid down by law to end the controversy (see the Code of Theodosianus, link in previous post). These laws are repeated by all Christian sects during service. What do you think the Nicene Creed is? This controversy was about many things, not the least of which was the creation of the idea of the Trinity (which separates us from Source). All present day Christians repeat these beliefs, to brainwash themselves, at almost every gathering.
I meant a deep dive investigation into the authorship of the bible; one not guided by Christian belief confirmation bias (which I had done before in my life), but rather, with the only intention being to find the truth of it. I didn't mean that was the whole sum of my investigation into Christianity or religion. For that I too have many decades of experience. I'm not going to attempt to get into "qualifications," because such pro hominem arguments are always faulty. If an argument can't stand on its own, it is not a valid argument. Using credentials to support an argument is exactly how the world is in the state it is in.
You didn't address a single point I made in your protest. If you want I'm sure I can probably dig up some references, but if you wish to look for yourself, just look up "jews (or judaism) henotheism". The amount of evidence that supports that the jews believed in multiple gods (both polytheistic and henotheistic, depending on which group of jews you are talking about and the time period) is absolutely overwhelming. I'm not saying the jews that follow the formal religion that we call "Judaism" (there are actually quite a few jewish religions) aren't monotheistic now (though it is debatable which god they really believe in now). As just one simple example, it's written into the very First Commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." In other words, "I am your number one god." This is a clear statement of both that there are other gods (implicitly stated), and that this "god" is self-stating absolute rulership of the Israelites and Judeans (explicitly dictated). Such rulership creates a hierarchy whereby the priests of the "Divine Ruler" gain ruler status as well, and that was exactly what they had, both then (around 3500 years ago), now, and all the time in between. Of course I'm sure that is purely coincidental.
Final point, a debate is an excellent path to get closer to the truth. This path can only accomplish that goal if it directly addresses points made. It is not about stating "your wrong." If you wish to engage, please engage directly. Using pro hominems, ad hominems, or simply stating "you are so stupid you don't even know how wrong you are" (paraphrased) does not help advance the debate and the investigation into the truth of a thing, rather they accomplish the opposite. In other words, they are used to obfuscate the truth.
Ok, here we go again.
I wrote: TOTAL HOGWASH^ - what the hell are you talking about?
BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS WRONG. You obviously don't know that the bible was not only not " the manifesto and founding document for the birth of the Holy Roman Empire," you don't even know that the founding of the Holy Roman Empire was nearly five centuries later when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne the first Holy Roman Emperor in Rome in the year 800 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor
When you wrote: "The Jews weren't even monotheistic."
I replied with the proper quotation to illustrate your (childish) mistake with the quotation from Deuteronomy 6:4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. https://www.ccalions.org/2019/09/30/deuteronomy-64-7/
If you are attempting to say that Israel turned from monotheism and worshiped Pagan gods?
YES, that is what got them slaughtered and driven out of the Holy Land.
That ^ was the promise God made to them if they turned to pagan gods. It actually UNDERSCORES that the God of the Bible and Israel IS ONE.
You further attempt to make Yahweh into a plural god by invoking the word "Elohim" as plural. If you will check with the Jewish Encyclopedia, you will see that the word "Elohim" is either plural or singular, depending on the context. Think of the word "American." If you are saying, "I am American," you are referring to a single person. If you say, "we" are American," you are referring to plural. It depends on the context. https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/#
Beyond this, you have too many childish mistakes for me to correct. and, yes, the things I wrote to you are not even disputed by any SERIOUS person, who has done the research, because YOU CAN HOLD THE PROOF IN YOUR HANDS. The key word there is SERIOUS. A serious person would not embarrass himself in public with such absurd assertions. If you continue to go to people who know as little as you, you will continue to fill your head with the same childish errors.
Sauce for Catholics being prohibited from reading the Bible? In fact, Catholics have always been encouraged to read the bible -- immediately after determining the canon (of 73 books), pope Damasus had St. Jerome translate the entire bible into latin, as it was the international language used throughout the west (there already were greek translations). There were ongoing translations through and after the middle ages, into various european languages, and monks painstakingly copied them by hand. Churches which could afford a very costly bible before the printing press was invented often chained it like a modern phone book is done, to prevent theft, but encouraged anyone to read the scriptures. Multiple popes encouraged the faithful to read scriptures, and every Catholic mass includes multiple scripture readings. In fact, scripture reading in Catholic churches follows a 3 year cycle currently, ensuring virtually all of the bible is read, every 3 years. https://cruxnow.com/faith/2015/11/a-quick-history-of-the-catholic-church-and-the-bible
There is much more, but I will stay to the point.
You are correct that the current Catholic Mass includes multiple scripture readings. In fact, scripture reading in Catholic churches follows a 3 year cycle currently, ensuring virtually all of the bible is read, every 3 years.
This ^ is post Second Vatican Council.
Prior to that (which is what I referenced) the private reading of Scripture - along with the reading of any publication or viewing any movie that did not contain the "Vatican Imprimatur"- was prohibited under penalty of Mortal Sin.
How do I know this?
I experienced it. It was taught in Parochial Schools. I vividly remember my older sisters checking to verify what they could read or what movie they could attend without sentencing themselves to eternity in Hell.
Modern Catholic apologists deny such things. The older ones must surely know they are telling lies. I suspect (and mercifully hope) the younger ones are only unwitting dupes to the dishonesty of their elders.
I went to big name schools and have worked at big name places before, not everybody in those outfits "drinks the kool-aid" at all. If you go the entrepreneurial route like Trump or Musk you still have to deal with all those kinds of peoples (Wall Street, Banks, Big Companies) etc. The trick is to navigate all that without selling your soul.
The Matrix has you, Neo...
It's weird how close you can come. I once dated a girl whose father was a famous politician and who was somewhere in one of Soros' orbits. Imagine....
No, even as a kid I questioned everything and had common sense. In college I remember the teacher talking about socialism, although at the time I didn’t realize it or really know what it was, and thought “this dude is retarded”.
Same, rebellious by nature , don't trust anyone, and luckily the one out of 5 kids born with all the common sense. (sad to admit but it's true).
Back in high school I told my friends I thought college was a scam and that I would not be going. They ridiculed me and told me I was a moron who would end up poor and pathetic, boy oh boy did they predict their own future instead of mine lol. I ended up being self employed and successful while they ended up in dept, in bad relationships, 3 had kids too early, and 2 became alcoholics and one lost everything due to drugs, and they all have their beloved "college experience" to thank for it.
I've also been calling out the health insurance scam for many years, may take many more years before most people start to open their eyes on that one.
Big pharma of course is a scam, when your own country outlaws legit alternative treatments and medications to force you into paying for only one overpriced product (ahem... chemo) then yes, they are killing you and draining your bank account in the process insuring your kids inherit nothing.
I could go on....
Reminds me of my college western history professor who probably hated me as I was the one calling it stupid every time some example of socialism came up and he waxed poetic on "what could have been."
I always saw the scam of the ideologies, but I didn’t speak up much as a school kid to avoid being singled out.
I have more street smarts now, but I still have to catch myself most of the time to avoid falling into my default perspective of people not attempting to take advantage of you/be terrible human beings on a regular basis. Still too trusting sometimes.
Yup, never got snookered into joining the dark side.
Yes. High IQ with good but not brilliant career progression. Stopped some things because it felt off or made me feel bad. Switched domain/specialty a few times. Only really started waking up 5/6 years ago. I still work in the same company with people who actively promote parts of this narrative (I don’t know for sure who is complicit vs conned). I never got into the grant game - just didn’t get the hang of writing them or got in with other collaborators to get started. I am so glad of that now. But with my career gone sideways & the credentialism / controlled narrative it has been hard to know what to do to push back (plus my mental health took a nosedive when I realised what was happening, all my family got jabbed/boosted). There are a few of us, and more & more push back but things are so controlled in my country. It’s crazy.
I'm sure I could be much further along in my career if I had made the sacrifices that they wanted me to make but since I stuck to what I wanted in life I was passed up for many things since I refused to be a "company man".
True that
You had enough intelligence to figure out the gift of character and apply it to your own truth-seeing endeavors. There is a loose correlation.
I came through the 60s and 70s and learned quick not to trust the government. What I did not know was how corrupt Big Pharma was.
What shocked me was how fast the "we hate big business and especially big pharma" left suddenly turned around to worship those same entities post-COVID. That gave me narrative whiplash.
Yes!
Very startling to see the “don’t trust the government, counter-culture” generation fall in lockstep during the lockdown and then emerging from it with the attitude of “just do what they say, take the jab and we can all get back to normal.”
Even more disheartening was the knee jerk impulse to attack, censor and cancel those who raised legitimate questions amidst the rush to take a knee before Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Everything else.
Remember when 10 years or so back Google employees were raising a fuss about designing censorship software for China? I think it was "Project Dragonfly" or somesuch. Then that all quietly went away as they flushed out those employees.
My investigation has shown many paths into the Cabal. I have been on several of them. I've flirted with the edge. I know and have worked with/for people in certain corporations and academia that are almost certainly a part of it. Of course everyone is a "part of it," but I mean, they likely knew the secret of how the world really works and probably have blackmail tapes being held somewhere of them doing unspeakable things. Of course I'm guessing, but they fit the profile of my investigation. These are people I worked with often. They are people I've eaten with, had drinks with, laughed with, argued with, tried to please/impress with my work, etc.
I've been put in situations where my work would have been, by my estimation, unethical. I've missed opportunities for advancement and/or been fired or moved off project because of a negative stance towards certain aspects of some projects. There have been a few times where I think if I had made a slightly different choice, or spoken up a little less, I could have fallen into The Trap.
In addition to such temptations in both the corporate world and academia, I used to love to party and I've participated in the outskirts of the "Eyes Wide Shut" world. I thought it was just people having fun. Letting loose. The deeper you go into that world, the more taboo it becomes, until the point where it goes past mere "taboo" and into straight up not OK. My path through life taught me to have a fundamental respect for other people. This one belief of mine, more than any other, caused me to make certain choices away from the deeper temptations.
For all my life I thought it was just organic. I thought all my friends/colleagues that were doing bad corporate actions in the corporate world were just self-preserving their job. I thought their actions ultimately came from "corporate greed" higher up the food chain. It turns out corporate greed is a smokescreen. We believe in corporate greed because we all understand greed. What we don't understand is how the world is controlled, and how such control hides behind the concept of greed.
I thought all my friends that would teach dogma and pretend it was "science" in academia were just not seeing the bigger picture. I didn't realize that they were teaching it that way because it had not only been taught to them that way, but that there were built in incentives to prevent people from seeing it otherwise. The entire system is designed to ensure that no one has "unaccepted thoughts" and if they do, they become unaccepted themselves, thus they avoid even thinking about such things. This system was designed by the same people who set up the "corporate greed" scam. All for control.
I thought that the people I interacted with in the party world just all wanted to have fun. I thought that the inevitable depravity of the "having fun" world was just bad people doing bad things, just like bad people do bad things in all walks of life. I didn't realize at the time, before my investigation, that that whole part of the world is designed that way, to lead a person into temptation to do more and more illegal things, so that they can become agents of the Cabal.
Things could have gone very different in my life if I had had just a little less respect for other people. I have had plenty of opportunities, and I have been tempted to take them. I didn't just dodge a bullet. I dodged a machine gun, Neo style.
I have a few friends that I think likely didn't.
Literally almost the same experience. 😉
I consider it a huge Blessing.
Amen, brother- I almost went to med school but realized how much I despised who would be my classmates, went into biomed instead... Luckily didn't follow the herd to a bigger, evil company when my little place of work got bought and shut down. Eyes were being opened at the time by fellow scientists who had worked different places (learned that Monsanto's cafeteria, for example, was all non-gmo). Almost went to California to work on genetics, but family needed me closer, thank God I was wise enough to stay near them.
Close call with P&G, but for some reason my tongue was uncharacteristically tied and twisted at that interview, which was confusing and frustrating because I sounded like an idiot, but later I realized it was the best thing that could have happened. The interviewers were as close to lizard people as you could get, and masonry was rooted deep in that group. They wrote me off and that's a good thing, I don't ever want to be on those lists.
Many many years ago but I still shake my head at how little I knew. The more I learn about the places I thought I wanted to work in, the more I am grateful to God for His hidden hand.
Sounds like God intervened. I think sometimes we get in our own way and push through to do what we want but maybe it's not the path God has in mind. I just learn the hard way sometimes. Then, I get the reminder to listen to God. Things happen for a reason. It is either a good example of how a person " should" behave toward our fellow humans. Sometimes evil gets to be the example of what not to do.
Bryson Gray said something similar in one of his podcasts about how when he was trying to be your typical rapper success always just eluded him, when he became redpilled and MAGA and turned into a Christian rapper things became easier and he grew happier as he figured he had come upon the path that had been laid out for him.
Hey man, this is one of those times where I don't put any blame on you for using the line "I was just following orders" actually applies. You did what you had to do you could earn a living. It's betting able to identify those in charge and hnd help us figure out what's going on that counts. It's nice to know we have patriots in those groups. If you ask me just do your job and figure out how you can make a small impact from where you're at. It may look like a small ripple wave but that just might lead to a tsunami.
I was a default liberal before Covid, when Covid happened I would watch Trump’s briefings daily. That’s when I realized the corporate medias are indeed full of shit
I guess my story was exactly opposite of yours. I did not go back to college after high school until I was ~36yo. By this time, I was wise enough not to fall for the BS being peddled by the teachers. Had a college professor ask me to state in front of the class "what the scariest thing was about going back to college after so long?". My reply left our class laughing out loud, uncontrollably. I replied, "becoming an educated dumbass like you"!
Not as old as you but I took a long break not knowing what I wanted to do in life and ended up going back to finish my degree in my late 20's which is probably how I graduated university coming out more conservative than when I went in.
You are blessed, fren, as most here are. Some of us might not be so fortunate as to share your intellect [see: me] but most were graced with a built-in bullshit detector + burning desire to find truth.
You found yourself here for a reason... be it divine intervention, a drive to find answers, dumb luck, DNA, The Greys, or quantum computer guiding your thoughts through a looking glass (hehe)
Either way, welcome to the great awakening. Enjoy playing your role in this epic tale ;)
I was a bleeding heart liberal up until they stole the Dem primary nomination from Bernie and gave it to Hillary. I started watching Trump speeches after that and then noticed how the MSM was cherry picking out of context statements to make him look bad. It woke me up. If they were willing to destroy their credibility lying about Trump, what else have they lied about? It made me analyze everything I thought I once knew as I continued to dig. Then Q started posting and I have been following that since day one. I believe I was meant to wake up when I did. It’s sad watching my close friends who are still very much asleep.
That being said, up until the 2020 election, I had voted for the winning candidate in every election from 18 years old onward. We all know Trump won for real though, so I should really count that L as a W.
Seth Rich was a Bernie bro. The stolen nomination is why he decided to leak the DNC files to Wikileaks.
Without this community I would have definitely gotten the vax and allowed my wife to do the same
Great to hear you didn't 👍👍
Bro I was literally bred to be FBI, I have a deformity in my ankle and so from a young age the doctors told me "never, ever get a job working on your feet. Desk job. DESK JOB. You going to college for sure, boy."
Which made sense. I'm in MENSA. My IQ is high enough that when people bring up IQ I do not want to share for risk of being called a liar etc.
One family member in FBI appropriately groomed me to be his protégé, and I was extremely grateful for it. I went to college. When anyone in the CS department found out my last name they asked if I was related to so-and-so and proceeded to treat me like Harry fucking Potter.
During the course of my internship I discovered the FBI is the monsters and the very hackers we were chasing were in fact the good guys. Well.... mostly good guys. Some of them shredded and intentionally destroyed websites they took over, even in one instance a site for a school for deaf/blind children. Other hackers left kiddie shit in their wake to warp the minds of the investigators, a horrific tactic about as effective as fucking Punji sticks.
Fun fact, virtually every young coder was praising LuLzSec the entire time that was going on.
But yeah I GTFO'd that place and I could probably sue somebody for many various reasons but my fams are financially tied to it so like, whatever. I keep the misjustice I experienced at the hands of the system in my back pocket as my Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
They seem to know I have it. I've been pulled over, pulled out of the car, put in handcuffs, and released multiple times with like, highly jail-able shit going on in my car. I remember once I hit a double whippet while driving and just kinda swerved and slowly came to a stop in the road, just having finished a blunt, bong in the car, gun in seat with one in the chamber, various pills, a scale. They kept me in the cop car for two hours trying to get me to pin everything on my friend but I kept saying everything was mine and he didn't know about it. Frustrated they released me and even let me keep my gun, told us to go straight home, we went to Steak and Shake and joked about the bruises around our wrists, "Ayyye we got our G-bands on!!!!" I rode that gravy train of you-can't-arrest-me for quite awhile before I got bored of it.
This is so incredibly fucked up. Truly enlightening on the difference between the two Americas. Glad you got out.
I used to watch CNBC and CNN 10-12 years ago. I quit because I could smell it. Black in America. Guilt trip, whitey bad.. I quit watching them all, even Fox.
Once I read the Podesta drop, that sealed the deal.
Yup. When I was young and stupid I was literally stinky commie,person which I would bash painfully without mercy now. Stupid kid.But I learned they are ones responsible for things I am against. For most of fucking things I hate. That they are literal demons in human skin. They claim they want progress and well being of all - in fact they are selfish animals doing just the opposite and destroying all what we are destined to be. Killing children,killing our future.Leaches.Vampires even. Reason why everything and everybody around is becoming so miserable.That they are liars and traitors who want us all poor,enslaved even killed. They want to steal our past, our present time and our future. Stupid,godless and irresponsible scums. Hypocrites and monsters which shall burn in fact,but ok, hanging could be enough.
Learned it long before Q,long before Q. I was noticing how evil and depraved it all is and hated it. Hated myself for not noticing. Luckily I hadn't did personally any important damage I think. Now I know that situation is even worse than I was imagining. We have to win this fight or there will be no future,no mankind,no salvation for anybody (at least anybody living) - only hell on earth,tyranny of those demons.
My husband dodged the bullet too. He got into an Ivy but decided to go to a small state school instead. Never had to work in his field until he was at the PhD level. Highly gifted PhD in Physics but mostly a lone wolf. Worked at a large company but pretty much did his own thing in the days when he could. And they let him bc he was too smart for them. He brought in the most money for the company than anyone else there. He started several businesses there and he holds enumerous patents. They left him alone to do his thing. Luckilly, he has been retired for awhile... No one would have allowed him to do this nowadays. His old company since he left is a shell of its former self.
He is not fully awake and doesn't follow Q. But he never took the jabs after I went over the problem with it. He has questioned the COVID narrative however after listening to an hour long speech from Dr. McCullough. He couldn't understand why noone would listen to him.
Yes but in a different way
Growing up I was always attracted to counter culture, going against authority and etc
Never would have expected being "normal" is the new weird. NOT being a tattooed colored-haired septum piercing having freak atheist IS the new counter culture
Yep I never thought I'd see those punks I grew up with in high school, some of which are still freaks to this day, turn into such massive cucks who have been deluded into thinking that they're still special and not part of The Machine.
“Deny the enemy time talent and treasure.”
I like the cut of your jib.
Regardless of how it played out, thanks for your service
I have been on the wrong side of everything all my life. I have questioned authority all my life. Guess I was just born a skeptic and stubborn mule.
Outlier here.
I would have to say Yes on this, especially in the IT / Technology Field. Worked for the BORG for a while and at the time Uncle Bill wasn't as much a monster as he is now. Thankfully I wouldn't toe the line in drinking all their coolaide and once I got out working there, I found that I was Happier and actually made more money and did "Better" Work for other companies that use MS Software.
The Lord definitely was watching over me in this time, and I still am very thankful that he showed me the way out, even though it was painful at first.
"Close call with P&G, but for some reason my tongue was uncharacteristically tied and twisted at that interview, which was confusing and frustrating because I sounded like an idiot, but later I realized it was the best thing that could have happened. The interviewers were as close to lizard people as you could get, and masonry was rooted deep in that group. They wrote me off and that's a good thing, I don't ever want to be on those lists."
You explain this quite well, Lite. I recognize the experience - which happened to me several times over the long, full course of my life.
In one memorable instance I was taken by close friends to the East Coast home of a former US Ambassador to a major foreign country. The introduction was a surprise to me. I hadn't been advised of where we were going or whom we were going to see. The meeting turned out to be a kind of extended interview with members of the ambassador's family present - wife and sons. They were asking me all about my life.
I have travelled quite a lot. At one point they were asking about some obscure islands I'd spent some time on and I could not remember the name of the island group although I knew it perfectly well. I stumbled and that put them off on recruiting me.
Another time, a Big Pharma rep came to my then-current office and tried to recruit me. I don't quite know what happened but everything seemed to turn grey, like heavy overcast. They made me a tempting offer but I immediately refused.
Another time, I was in an investment interview and for some reason broke into an uncontrollable fit of coughing. I could not stop. I had to stumble out. A few minutes later the coughing subsided.
Another time. I was in a business meeting and I began to feel light headed and faint. There were five men there who were trying to get me to invest. I almost passed out. Their "company" turned out to be a nationwide con.
On reflection these events seem to me to be an ongoing subtle extension of the "now moment" - which of course cannot be perfectly instantaneous. In my view "now" is an indefinite spatiotemporal present that is more clear the closer we are considering things to this moment. As we consider farther from the present time and place, looking either forward or backward in time and into greater spatial distance, things become less distinct. But in this way considerable awareness of the future is possible. I've had several clearly precognitive dreams. If there are intense consequences hanging on the direction of our present events we may get intimations of those consequences.
"Time" is a strange concept. Einstein couldn't define it. General Relativity does not formally use the concept of time.
you could have been a project Veritas insider if you had only taken that job out of Colledge.
Problem is they might have gotten to indoctrinated by the job to become a whistleblower.
After more than 50 suits, 200 ties, knowing and have been dining with stars, I now live a humble life in Greece, trying to connect with the creator every day. My breaking out of the matrix was slow, starting with the money system: Mises, Rothbard, Ron Paul. I know now, that we are in a war against demons and we have to wear the full armor of God to win. But we will - even when we loose some battles. The plandemic was just helping in speeding up things: Adrenochrome for example I learnt the last two years.
I am waiting for the next, the crash of the whole system, while thinking what I will plant in the garden next.
No never. It’s crazy, my dad says I’m such a contrarian, I take it as a compliment he didn’t mean, but. Some think I’m so cynical, but that’s not completely true either, I’m still hopeful. I don’t know what it is, some people just get it, some just don’t and never will it’s really really crazy.
Working for Boeing makes me question that part of my past, but I will chalk it up to my invincible ignorance. But once you know, you know
Always committed to the fight. But after 911 I became active in sharing information related to it and other false flags. I started receiving what seemed like state sponsored harassment, including physical intimidation, phone communication problems and violent threatening emails from something I assumed was an AI as it was including comments made during phone calls and searches. I felt alone and isolated. I almost broke.
Indeed. Ivy League engineering degrees electrical engineering and applied science. MSEE after joining bay area high tech. 40 years in high tech. Patents in remote diagnostics of instrumentation.
Now I see much clearer what I always felt about the world but was able to convince myself it was too crazy. Now I know I was one of the sane ones.
I got lucky in that my DOD work never crossed those lines. They got close but the culture was such, at the time, that we were actually actively encouraged to say no, as if we failed to follow proper protocol we were warned we could go to jail.
The current Twit stuff I am seeing is just hard to even wrap my head around.
Stuff like the bulk data collection of twit users, with the correct subpoena forms is one thing, but the emails show none of the appropriate policy implementations by law. Technically speaking all the data collected "Casually" from twitter is, in many cases not remotely usable as evidence also due to mishandling. Worse yet its collection violates multiple constitutional laws as it constitutes "fishing" for crimes.
There was a video on YouTube of a young man I think he was from the Netherlands. This was years ago. He wanted to share his experience working in a very successful financial enterprise that might have been a large bank. He explained that as the new guy if you were talented you got asked to attend meetings and social gatherings. He said gatherings started out harmless until he was invited to a meeting and as he explained what he saw and what he would have to do, he couldn't talk he was sobbing. He knew he had to participate to continue in this employment and he couldn't. He had to leave this company and he may have implied that he needed therapy.
This is the world we live in. I believe this is what Trump is fighting every day.
My SIL is a banker in the UK, and she pulls in some serious $$. I've been wondering.
They use wealth as a tool. I am thankful I was never tempted.
Same. Good to have nice things.... but I absolutely will not compromise my integrity or my philosophy. It has cost me promotions.... I don’t care. Don’t know about my SIL though
Yes I had a bad reaction to the regular boring flu shot over ten years ago. It used to just mean I didn't trust doctors much. I always thought I should try and trust medicine it works so well for most people. Then COVID hit and I found myself happily on the anti big pharma. One simple ER visit saved me and my family from COVID shots and living in fear.
