Earlier today I took offense to something someone posted here, one of the mods. We got into a bit of a spate over it. Thankfully, we were able to talk it out in private messages. The situation made me realize that we are both under pressure and stressed about various things and current events. In retrospect, I feel we both overreacted at certain points. In the end, I learned from the interaction that, while we are wise to be vigilant and on our guards, we can never afford to jump too quickly to conclusions. We are all human, and we are all under a great deal of pressure. We must shoulder our collective burdens while being gracious in disagreement. The mod in question and I thankfully did just that in the end. We don't have to agree on everything, but we have each others' backs in this fight.
The truth is, smoothing this over was easy, because we share so much in common. But we must find ways to bridge the void between us and others, as well, even deluded Democrats and Biden supporters. The divisions in society are such that our movement cannot be about domination. It needs to be about unification under our great principles. We must promote the truth and we must seek out and develop common ground. True, there are some, even many, with whom we may never find common ground. But shame on us when we simply fail to find it due to our own pride and/or exhaustion with the fight.
Let's all strive to do better. I know I will. And when I fail, please correct me with kindness and I will try to respond the same.
There was another thread talking about the possibility that some of the aircraft in the Afghanistan footage could be inflatable and staged for propaganda purposes. I found this video about the Ghost Army, a secret military group that was using inflatable military decoys in World War 2. They started in 1943. The project was not declassified until 1996. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/dDNlQuTbVC4
Btw, is it just me or does the female voice in the background say, "...and also the plane would inflate up..." at about 3:40 in that video?

We know it, but it is nice to hear him say it :)
...you can at least tell them what is claimed to be in the three most common vaccines of which I am aware:
"WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?
"The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: mRNA, lipids ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide, 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine, and cholesterol), potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and sucrose" (https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download#page=2).
"WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?
"The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine contains the following ingredients: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), lipids (SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG], cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]), tromethamine, tromethamine hydrochloride, acetic acid, sodium acetate trihydrate, and sucrose" (https://www.fda.gov/media/144638/download#page=2).
"WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THE JANSSEN COVID-19 VACCINE?
"The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: recombinant, replication-incompetent adenovirus type 26 expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, citric acid monohydrate, trisodium citrate dihydrate, ethanol, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBCD), polysorbate-80, sodium chloride" (https://www.fda.gov/media/146305/download#page=2).
I found the above quite readily via: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html
I was inspired to look this up because -- after various claims here and similar places (e. g., https://greatawakening.win/p/12iNZQmAEg/next-time-someone-tells-you-they/) -- I was under the impression that the ingredients were kept totally secret with not even any pretense that they would be shared. I was shocked to so easily find an official source readily presenting the alleged ingredients of every major vaccine.
Folks, we ALL have a responsibility to do better! Please be careful to clearly state what you know and do not know. It makes us all look bad if we seem to be peddling misinformation. We all make mistakes, however, and it is fine to speculate and admit ignorance (partial or total).
That being said, it is my understanding that many believe the ingredients of the vaccines are kept highly secret when in fact they seem to be clearly presented via official CDC and FDA sources. I am personally skeptical that the alleged ingredients list is complete and accurate. But others had me thinking that the ingredients were not available in any sense, and, had I boldly made that assertion to someone on the other side, they might have very well linked me the above and forced me to eat a bit of crow! Notably, it could be by design that people infiltrate and spread misinformation with false confidence in order to malign our purpose and our views. We must be more diligent! We must be more thorough, and we must be more clear about what, exactly, we are trying to convey with our contributions.
So, tell me, please: is my concern on point here or have I misunderstood the claims I have seen about the list of ingredients not being made available?
Thanks and keep up the good work! Just always strive to improve! Unless Jesus is lurking here, none of us is perfect! ;p
Mike Lindell Interview (18 min)
I hope this is at least as big as he seems to expect. He makes some intriguing remarks!
tl;d(watch): It is actually 18 minutes followed by 42 minutes of silence.
This is probably obvious, but I figure it is easier to just ask. Upvoting and downvoting comments is obvious, but, at least for me, the top-level post itself has only an upvote option available. I see such posts with downvotes all the time, so it must be possible. Granted, I rarely want to down vote a main post, but sometimes it is necessary. Most recently, a popular post near the top was talking about voting in 2022. I wanted to downvote, because voting in a rigged election is absolutely foolish and does nothing but legitimize the farce. As long as the pretender remains enthroned, we live under an illegitimate, illegal occupation where our voting rights effectively ceased to exist. Such misleading lullabies which threaten to put people back to sleep should be shunned and downvoted. Unfortunately, I only see an upvote option. Frustrating!
Anyway, thanks for answering a probably stupid question that I should be able to figure out for myself xD
