I very much appreciate your well thought out response and I also want to make it clear that I appreciate your research and contributions. The only thing I am asking everyone in this forum is to treat eachother better, rule 1 is simple tho not easy. We should be able to find some kind of common ground and agree to disagree at an impasse, there is no need to resort to our baser instincts of attacking people instead of arguments. Do you agree?
Let me provide you with a little more perspective, just so someone other than me knows it. You can skip to the last paragraph if you want and I'll never know.
As I've mentioned before, at one time I was a big fan of Miles Mathis. I read hundreds of his papers and my mind was blown, totally. It opened up a whole new world, and changed my entire worldview with it. And I could never go back.
Over a great amount of time, I became increasingly disenchanted. It was hard to believe, but my mind went back to the article or two I had come across "exposing" him as a psyop. I had discarded them out of hand since, after all, he was shoveling out gold.
But I came to realize they had been right. Further, I came not only to emulate his work but (false modesty aside) to vastly exceed it. And everything I came up with was substantiated, as I am always careful to demonstrate, and not pushing people towards the desired conclusions.
That really showed me what a fraud Mathis had been all along. I can't stand to read his papers anymore and, as you can see in my posts, I can barely scrape out a few sentences of reliable substance.
I had been so enchanted with it all, at one time. Really, what I wanted was a Miles Mathis that was not a psyop. Such a researcher does not exist or I surely would have come across him in the zillion searches I've done.
Well, then, really with no plan to do so, only the excitement of discovery, I became that which I had so ardently sought. But that, in itself, brought very unexpected new lessons.
You see, I'm guessing here but I think Mathis has thousands or tens of thousands of readers. With my tastiest nuggets, however, I could get only a dozen upvotes, maybe two. I wasn't setting the world on fire, but putting a match to wet newspaper. What was the problem?
Sure, there's audience size and shadowbanning, but I could tell it went beyond that. What I finally realized was this: what Mathis had to say made people feel superior, inflated their ego, like they were "in the know", they knew a secret others did not.
Conversely, the things that I brought forward, well, there were two problems. One is that it is so foreign there's a white noise around it that makes it hard to even land in the consciousness. The only work anywhere near it it... Miles Mathis, of course, and that's hardly for everyone.
But the bigger problem--for the ones that were able to absorb any of it--was that it scared them shitless. The Devil wasn't off in Hell or on a screen, he was in your driveway and your kitchen and on your desk and every place else you looked. And he had been there for centuries. And no one else knew about it or was talking about it, not even Alex Jones.
I never anticipated how much that would frighten people. The silver lining is that it mostly never gets through the noise filter to frighten people in the first place, but for the ones that it does... it's a big problem. Real big.
(As a hilarious side note, did you see turtlebam accuse me of pushing "the everything is fake narrative of Jewish Miles Mathis"? I have no doubt I'm the biggest, most protracted, and most precise detractor of Miles Mathis in the entire world, as you may have read. IOW, I cannot expect any reasonable on pretty much anything I write. That's never what it's going to be about.)
So who is the audience I'm looking for? At one time I thought it might be 5% of the population. How naive. Then I thought 1%, then I thought that was optimistic. Now I think (being honest here): "Maybe there is someone--one person--out there like I had been when I first started reading Mathis and was set on fire."
The more time that passes, the more I wonder if the real number is less than 1 (if you get what I mean). The goal, as I now see it, is to come into contact with that 1. I won't ever convince anyone with any sort of debate or interaction. No one ever convinced me of the value of Mathis' work, either when I believed every word or when I understood it for what it really was.
As you can plainly see now, even the few that read my posts positively never comment on my work. I think they just have no idea what to say, how to react, nothing to add since it's already so foreign to their experience. Then the negative comments outweigh the positive because none exist, as stated. Would a reasonable and rational person persist, or go elsewhere, or just leave the world to belief after its own desires? Sounds rhetorical, but maybe not.
In any case, just respond "PLEASE BLOCK" to this and I will never again post a rude comment, I'll just block anyone I do not care for. My experiment in the practical demonstration that humans are not equal, and that many are--in the final analysis--not in control of themselves even over pixels on a screen, has reached a conclusion with no more to be learned by anyone. Sad to see a proof of it, but there you have it. I think that really, perhaps, it should be my policy not to comment at all. I never thought anything I would ever have to say would be "too hot for the Internet" but, again, there you have it.
I and others appreciate the light you shine on dark things, of course some aren't ready to hear and of course not all agree, I think you should keep going and my hope is others will come to understand, in time.
For my part, I think we all have different ideas and theories and within this community we can all exist, I also think we are all capable of being respectful to everyone, whether we agree or not.
We are still experiencing growing pains but I am seeing very positive growth from a bird's eye view. (The 3 rules are here for the community's protection)
As to votes, I am not motivated by them and I have an inkling the lurkers far outweigh the participants.
I enjoy your participation and would like it to continue.
Blocking, for me, doesn't solve anything and I think we both enjoy solving things, best we can.
Just to keep things in context. I said you were pushing "the everything is fake narrative of Jewish Miles Mathis" when you described the war of aggression against the people in Iran. One in which Americans bombed out schools full of children and I paraphrase as fake/overblown/no real destruction/IRGC being Mossad etc.. while I know as an absolute fact this is not the case and know for a fact that a lot of the damages were NOT even reported.
