["....perhaps we've forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle; but they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loss as a nation together.
"For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us...."
"....I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them.
"I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute....
"....The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"](https://history.nasa.gov/reagan12886.html)
If a former president, now out of office (RIIIIGHT, DEEP STATE?), now a private citizen, can be put through an impeachment trial..... then why did Richard Nixon resign?!
After all, he did so in order to avoid certain impeachment in the House and all-but-certain removal by the Senate. Leaving office voluntarily while he could. You can't fire me, I quit! The moment he announced his resignation everyone knew that it was OVER, at least as far as that particular prospect went.
Nixon, like Trump, was a proud man and a fighter. A very different style of fighter, but he still HATED to lose. And just as they do Trump, the Democrats hated Nixon with a venom that was personal. They were out to humiliate and personally destroy him.
If the Democrats of 1974 (who at the time held much bigger majorities in both houses than they do now) had thought that they could still put him through the entire impeachment circus AFTER he'd quit, they'd damned well have done it. And if Nixon had thought they'd do THAT to him he'd never have bothered resigning, because he'd have had nothing to lose by staying and fighting.
But instead Nixon stood down, and Congress stood down, because the idea of a post-presidency impeachment never occurred to either party. Because that idea is complete and utter un-American banana-republic bullshit.
And that is the value of propaganda in war.
I see some of you asking WHY so many of them are flooding GAW today. Why would they be here, you ask, if it was all over and they had nothing left to fear?
Well, that could very well be the case, that they're firing at people who are over the target. Because I choose to live in hope, hope being the motivator that allows us to keep putting one foot in front of the other even when all seems lost -- AND because, OBJECTIVELY, there are simply far too many puzzle pieces that simply DO NOT fit together into a picture that makes any sense -- I think this could very well be.
But it's also possible that the above isn't true, that everything's done and they're all here simply to kick us when we're down. As you may have noticed, our friends on the globalist Left are like that; cruelty and conscienceless savagery are in their nature.
Because these qualities are in their nature, it makes propaganda -- the art of lies, deceit, pressure, and demoralization -- SECOND nature for them. Propaganda is THE most effective weapon of any war, more powerful than the combined might of entire armies. Waged effectively, one can use it to crush his enemy's spirit and thus cause him to falter, doubt, and ultimately defeat himself without a shot ever being fired. America was never defeated militarily in Vietnam, but her objective there was crushed nevertheless by the relentless words and images from a Fifth Column back at home.
I've always thought conservatives had a blind spot when it came to recognizing this, saw warfare in terms that were too linear, were waiting to have it out in an eventual open confrontation while the Left was busy for decades propagandizing our kids and grandkids in far more subtle (but increasingly less-subtle) ways. Maybe that's to our credit; we had faith in the processes of law and politics, and unlike the Left we're not wired for deceit. But too many conservatives couldn't recognize that the real war had been underway for many, many years.
Today the shills are here trying to stomp us down psychologically. You're Done, is their message. Don't Even Try to Get Back Up Again. They've "won" today -- apparently -- but for them the propaganda war never ends. Look at how angry and dispirited they've made you today! Watch them flood the zone here sowing confusion and despair! But most of all, LEARN from what they are doing, recognize it for what it is, and put on the full armor of God which no lies can penetrate!! Lift up your heads and make THEM fear. Make THEM despair and question their own gains. USE THEIR OWN WEAPONS OF PSYCHOLOGY AGAINST THEM.
Where things go from here is cloudy. But I personally think we start by staring them right back in their twisted faces and laughing at their stupid bullshit. Leftists HATE to be laughed at. Despots throughout history always have. And when enough of us stand up to throw their shit back at them, their anger turns to fear as they are reminded JUST. HOW. MANY. OF. US. THERE. ARE...... EVERYWHERE.
And remember that you have in your arsenal something they don't have in theirs, the nuclear tip of every propagandistic missile: the truth.
Yeah, that's right. Unlike the rest of the handshakes this site has apparently decided to just let freely flood in here on today of all days to turn it into TDW2, when they should have been able to see this shill invasion coming from weeks away, I'm actually interested in continuing to fight.
And I'm not even a Q follower. I was honestly never sure what to make of Q, but was skeptical. That's irrelevant though. Whether any of it was ever real is irrelevant.
Why? Because the alternative is giving up -- and that's no alternative at all. Yeah, I know things are fucked. And? Surrendering hope is never a viable plan B, no matter what things look like.
And when I say fucked, I mean REALLY REALLY fucked. Yeah. AND? When things are this level of fucked you might as well stop coming to GAW at all, right? When you're checkmated the entire game's over, right? But here you still are. Here we all still are. Still reading, still posting, still breathing. Still mad as hell and still every bit as unwilling to live as slaves under the thumb of demonic, murderous communist faggots as we were yesterday.
And still 80 million strong.
I'd like to see GAW continue to be a hopium repository for like minded people. There is nothing to be lost in a determination to peer through the darkness in search of a small candle to light, and much potentially to be gained. But that's not going to happen if the mods here don't GET CONTROL OF THIS PLACE, FAST. This place has the easiest and fastest sign-up process I've ever seen.
Impose your will. MAKE THEM LOSE.
IF YOUR FAITH IS IN GOD AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE HIS THEN THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE.
New guy here, longtime lurker, first time poster. Not a doomer, shill, etc., I just like hanging around here for the positive energy.
I access this site from behind a VPN (which everyone probably should be). For the last hour or two I have NOT been able to access GAW or TDW from any US IP address. Tried it from Mexico, fine, Poland, Ukraine, fine. But no US address has worked, have tried several. Make of it what you will.
