true that would be a nice ending - though I don't want H1Bs running doge

The frog above (u/Grady_Wilson) (no disrespect) misread my questioning the motives of the reporting organs as some sort of "being triggered". Even if its true that friction with the Musk team and Ramaswam wearing out his welcome are the factors facilitating this 'departure', I still do not trust their motivation for telling me so.

And yes, they are going to relish and opportunity to black pill, highlight some sort of 'rat'. But recognizing, or questioning, their motivation certainly disarms their attempts to push blackpill content.

All I can say is that more and more, I observe the psychological games that so many organizations and their representatives are playing, and I see large populations oblivious to this. That includes our beloved normies, but also anons and patriots.

How did the Uniparty survive so long? So how much of the globalist media vs 'conservative media' dynamic is simply a play of the same game?

Deceivers can, and frequently do, tell you true facts while working on somehow manipulating or controlling you. The antidote is to ask "Why is this (person/organization) telling me this?"

hahaha. Certainly not triggered. I'm just aware that even when sharing facts, these organizations have a purpose and goal, and an intent that involves influencing how you think.

I never said that Ramaswamy was not stepping down, or stepping away, etc. Also, I never (personally) thought "oh, that's not true".

What I am saying is, one should always question what the MOTIVE is of these organizations, who never have our best interests at heart.

One should read the information on that basis. For example, what kind of spin did they put into the report?

Um, "vitriol?" Do you consider questions to be vitriol? Let me return your question: is questioning the information that is being shared, and the MOTIVE behind it, the SPIN that is attached to it, and your response to it, triggering to you?

Newsmax? "A valid source?"

So, I think you need to ask yourself the question, have I simply swapped one matrix for another? e.g. "I used to listen to the MSM and believed everything that they told and thought they way they wanted me to. Then I found out that they are evil, but it's OK, because now I can 'trust' someone else to tell me what is true and what to think."

Usually, it's very helpful to distinguish between factual information and interpretation.

Of particular interest to me was this:

"multiple sources have confirmed to CBS News that friction within DOGE may have expedited Ramaswamy’s departure.

"Sources familiar with the internal workings of the task force claim that Musk’s inner circle has grown increasingly frustrated with Ramaswamy’s alleged lack of hands-on involvement.

“Vivek has worn out his welcome,” a source close to Trump revealed

Now, this information is anonymous 'multiple sources'. What this means is, we're CBS, trust us! We got it from multiple sources!"

"Sources familiar with ..."

At this juncture, I have no idea whether Ramaswarmy's disengagement from DOGE (if indeed this is what is happening) was inspired by friction with "Musk's inner circle" etc. It might be true, it might be not. But I certainly distrust the motivation of CBS news in telling me this story.

That's the point here. It's OK to be skeptical, to doubt, and certainly to distrust the motives of globalist corporate-controlled media. And, for that matter, it's still valid to ask, how reliable is "newsmax" in terms of what agenda they are serving? Is it the same as mine? how do I know? Because they tell me what I want to hear?

Telling you what you want to hear is the definition of how controlled opposition works.

You have to read multiple sources to get the real truth.

To some extent I agree with you, BUT, I think I'll disagree with your definition of "the real truth". I'm just saying, in truth, it isn't that simple. In the information war, almost everyone is trying to influence your thinking. Good guys, bad guys. Awareness involves questioning who and what and why.

Addendum. @Grady, I appreciate you responding to me with your thoughts. I do not consider your comments to be in any way some sort of attack on me, but appreciate the opportunity to discuss, clarify my views, etc. Discussion can be very good, even when offering differing views on a subject. So, thank you.

Also note: I thought it was noteworthy that the OP posted GWP content, BUT the sources being used were Politico, a Marxist propaganda machine, and CBS, a corporate globalist media operation. It's not that I doubted whether on a factual level, Ramaswarmy was 'departing from' DOGE, but rather, I thought its important to recognize the sauces being used, in this case. hth
