Kind of, more like the resulting counterattack though, feel like there is a word for this tactic but I cannot remember what the hell it is. I think maybe decoy is the closest thing I've seen so far, but it's still not ringing a bell.
The thing that got me thinking of this is when I was trying to imagine a benevolent version of the US military not acknowledging the Chinese balloon until it was talked about by observers on the ground. I was imagining how, if I was in charge, right when I saw the balloon heading my direction I would inform people on the ground to turn off certain things and turn other things on, to confuse the enemy.
Interesting, thanks. This concept, "gray rocking", I've seen used by somebody I know, but in a slightly different fashion, as a means to avoid admitting he's wrong when he unequivocally loses a debate or fight with his wife or work, being otherwise outwardly hostile / overtly dominant in all aspects of life. It's like a form of shrinking from controversy, but using the exact behavior pattern that you're describing here... it's super weird, even creepy, to think about, now that I've read this.
I somewhat agree, after seeing the footage of the sparks in the axle, but I have to also acknowledge the fact that there was a movie that predicted this happening, in Ohio. I don't know what to think anymore. I was just talking to my brother today about how I wondered whether there really were this many new things happening or whether this was just a case of the media hyping everything up, and that these kinds of things were already happening at a similar frequency.
It's possible that part of the nature of the "cover-up", where they are pretending it's not as bad as it is, is to reduce the amount of testing done until the contaminants are attenuated by nature. For example, imagine there were tons of these chemicals that went down the stream into the Mississippi, And people knew about that right away, and it was generally accepted, then you would have a bunch of agency tests going on and the numbers would be clear for everybody to see. But if you waited a couple weeks before testing, most of that stuff would've been washed down into the golf of Mexico and the numbers would be much smaller. Maybe the thinking is pretty simplistic (for example, maybe they would account for that time and extrapolate the real numbers from test results taken two weeks later), but it sure feels like something along these lines is going on. I think the idea that they may have created something nearly as bad as Chernobyl, perhaps too many heads will roll.
Exactly. I've been wondering, "what is the angle here?", because I feel the same exact thing, that they are creating the narrative that nobody is talking about this, when literally everybody is talking about this. Maybe it's just us creating that narrative. Anyway, I get the feeling that more stupid rules are coming. Fucking scumbag pieces of shit removed the safety rules that actually mattered (I was reading the other day about how the Obama administration reversed some kind of rules about the chemical load size requirements, etc., I don't recall correctly, but basically the exact kind of thing that you would have in place to prevent something like this from being as big of a problem as it was), and then they will use the aftermath of this, the exact same group of people who turned off those rules, to convince us that we need draconian rules that will somehow fuck us all over and increase the prices of things we buy by 250%. Actually, in reality, this will just be used as further justification for taxing carbon emissions or some bullshit.
I don't think there are many people really doing anything other than waiting for shit to hit the fan.
Perhaps the only thing I really do that has prophylactic effect at all is to donate money to Gun Owners of America, and sometimes other organizations that I think are fighting on our behalf. If I can't be out there doing the bidding myself, then the next best thing is giving money to somebody else who will do it for you. There is no shame in division of labor.
If you have the means, find an organization that stands up for what you believe in and fights (legal, etc.) for it, and give any money that you would otherwise give to creators, etc. to this organization. Back in the olden days, I used to donate money to various creators, like five dollars a month for Paul Joseph Watson, etc. My thinking at the time was that these people were great at convincing others to think like a conservative, so let's give them money and let them do that job. I was pretty stupid to think this money was going to really help our cause in the long run, because I now know that 99% of these content creators are, to some degree, controlled ops, which means that, even if the current message is having a great effect, they are just one phone call away from flipping the script. For example, Steven Crowder, who also might very well be 100% controlled opposition, was attacked by every one of the supposed independent minded conservatives creators, in what was an obvious smear campaign). The point is, to the degree that you spend money on things you believe in, make sure that this money is counting in the long run and that the recipients can be trusted.
This, 100%.
Reminds me of how DeSantis pretended like Florida was going to really pwn Disney hard, and now that the story fell out of the headlines, Florida just basically gave everything back to them. I am speaking WRT the tax status and self governance of their special district.
We are played so hard; I don't know if there's anybody on our side in any branch of government or any of these giant corporations / their leaders. Ron Paul was the last good politician, IMHO, and I don't think a single billionaire/corporate leader/organization is doing us any favors.
That's terrifying. It sucks that the Internet and its available tools (Google, et al) have already moved so far in this direction. I stopped using Google in 2013, but, at this point, I can barely find anything I'm looking for, with search engines. I've gotten to the point where I rarely even use them.
I agree. It's also nearly impossible to tell who is genuinely concerned and who is messing with you. We all need less internet and more IRL interaction in our communities, even if it just means chatting with randos in a local coffee shop or whatever other social-esque place you frequent.
For those of you who haven't already, regardless of whether or not you think you can afford to do so, please buy as much storable food as you can pay for. Get 5-gallon buckets and Gamma bucket seals, and mylar bags with oxygen absorbers (300cc per 2lb bag), squish the air out of the bags as well as you can and seal them with an iron on high; each bucket with about 20 or 30 pounds of rice/beans takes just a little bit of time and costs only about $40 including the buckets, seals, oxygen absorbers, and the food. If you don't have the time but you have some extra money, order some Augason Farms food buckets.
Also buy water (5 gallon jugs OR long term water storage containers and fill them yourself), enough for at least a month for everybody in your house, and then Sawyer Squeeze water filters to get water yourself, if you have a fresh water source nearby. The jugs/storage containers are for situations exactly like this train derailment where you can't even drink the water filtered. Just imagine shit hit the fan in that area right now and people couldn't get water other than that polluted trash... don't let your family die over a few hundred dollars worth of preparation.
Ah thank you! So, the post was after the crash, but looks like the tweet was from before, unless it's been doctored.
I'm sure it comes across as bragging to you. Also, why would stating a general income level, anywhere, be "retarded"? I think that's because you've been brainwashed into believing your income should be kept secret... which is great stuff for keeping the little guy from asking for a raise. I've worked with people who are as good or better at my job than I am, and who earn half as much, not because they are passive or weak, but because they think like you do.
Wait a minute, just realized, wasn't there that girl on Twitter who said "anybody who wants body count" can just use these, and she had a picture of a train derailer? Does anybody remember when that post was or maybe have a link to it? I wonder if that post was just before the first derailment.
That actually may be the difference between my viewpoint and all of you guys, part of it is that I just come here on my phone, so I don't ever see the full website experience. I just log in and go to the homepage, which defaults to "hot".
For what it's worth, I'm not a shill, and I don't consider myself retarded (earning a quarter million dollars per year doesn't come easy for a retard), but I am hyper interested in some of the videos that flat earth people have posted. I don't believe in flatters; I think the Earth is a globe floating through space, but even being interested in this topic has made me feel ostracized here, like some kind of outcast.
It's possible, as I mentioned to u/Tallestskil, that I've missed a lot of the idiotic posts made pertaining FE (I don't see many FE posts on here TBH), and so I'm not looking at the right cohort of users, but some of the stuff that I've seen from taboo conspiracy on YouTube and from people on here posting about NASA videos with CGI fakery and hairspray, I just can't understand why that isn't interesting to most people. The idea that this agency is making fake videos of stuff purportedly going on in space; what are they actually doing with our money? There is, in my opinion, indisputable pictures of rodents on Mars, and coincidentally NASA has a Mars rover training ground in Canada that looks exactly like the pictures of mars; this stuff is hyper interesting. Or am I just too burned out on doom conspiracies? I also understand there are ways to explore those things without FE, but I just don't see anybody doing it on a large scale besides them.
Technically, I agree with everything you just said (assuming the same actors are posting the same stuff every day). My only beef is with making the assumption that everybody who disagrees on a topic is acting in bad faith, or assuming that the "science is settled" on a topic. The whole "you're a shill" stuff has been one of the biggest form sliding activities I've seen over the years. I saw it impact Voat, badly, at times.
Pertaining the stuff you're talking about (flat earth), I personally believe the Earth is a globe in space, but I believe a lot of these "flat earth" videos have serious evidence of a massive deception that is going on (esp pertaining NASA, etc.), and I feel like the FE crowd are the only people paying any attention to that stuff, so I have a hard time with the notion that most of these people are acting in bad faith.
Disclaimer: I don't go to the "new" tab, so it's quite possible I'm missing a lot of the spam you guys are talking about, so the difference between our viewpoints may just be ignorance of certain bad actors on my part.
More confirmation of what you were saying in that other thread. Also, I was going to reply to you there earlier and mention that, while it's not a train derailment, something that almost turned into a big story, happened right near us. We had to evacuate because a 40,000 gallon liquid natural gas container was on fire and the entire town had to be evacuated - they were pretty sure it was going to explode for the first half an hour until they got the temperature under control - the blow-off flame was shooting up like 80 feet. Sidenote: at first I thought it was a bit ridiculous that they would evacuate people over a mile away, until I looked up tank bleve videos, and ho-li-fuck, it's unreal how big they are. Anyway, the point being, these things are common enough that something like this almost happened on mile and a half from our house.
