For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much going on right now and 2024 just beginning, let's try to put things in perspective, knowing that we can handle it all. There has never been a storm in world history that has lasted forever. This too shall pass.
There could be a reason we ignore reporting on OP: like long time contributor, follows the rules 99% of the time, is very consistent with content, and deeply knows his stuff about the GAW movement.
Maybe it’s time to worry about other things more pressing in life, than a simple Patriot contributor on a digital forum if it’s “tiring”. 😑
It does matter because it's a guideline here (unverified content). I made a post that got stickied here talking about posting the sauce. He was one of the posters I was referring to. "There could be a reason"? I'm not telling you to ban him or discipline him, but you seem to be skirting around the edges of what I'm trying to tell you; if he knows his stuff, help others by POSTING THE SAUCE instead of karma farming!
And I actually do have a LOT going on in my life, and it's a great struggle, but I appreciate the insult. "Sauce or it didn't happen" existed long before this board and is how we separated the shills, doomers, feds and other noise makers from content research.
OP is certainly on our side. We Mods already know this, nor do we need to provide you proof. Take a chill-pill and move on please. This needs no further debate.
