I’m 63 years old. I didn't think I would see some of this batshit, off-the-wall, hollywood-horror insanity in my lifetime…

The unthinkable inhumane shit done to people by our fellow man both pisses me off to no end and breaks my heart.

I dug into that one at another forum. Not only did he torpedo his own court case against the newspaper, he opened himself up to that line of questioning about his inappropriate relationship. It is really a RICH tale. :)

Got'ta go way back in history when those very rich capitalists found that our politicians were so easy to buy and sell just like those slave owners back in the day who bought and sold their human beings for fun and profit. Get ahold of them and severely criminalize their efforts without remorse or fail. This because the corruption of our gov't have been so entrenched with corrupters and corruptees for so long and so high up in the political hierarchy. Couldn't happen then, near impossible to happen now. These corrupters have our nation being held hostage because they control a political party that is being driven insane with fear and hate to the point where they've had to sacrifice their morals, ethics and common sense in order to remain loyal to their leaders who see them only as a means to an end, nothing more, nothing less.

The crowning glory of this centuries long corruption of the gov't is when McConnell , his lackeys and the big money interests that control these vermin packed the SCOTUS with thoroughly corrupted conservative so-called "justices" beholden to them. Add to this how these corrupters corrupted a whole political party, millions of Americans that think the only way to save the nation is, sadly, not to get rid of those very few self-made and described aristocrats who bought and paid for the control over their minds and of so many of our politicians, these millions of "conservatives" LOL were somehow fooled into believing that, for reasons of which has escaped the bounds of reality, they need to get rid of those fellow Americans who have the very same dreams, share the very same religions, fought and died in wars for the nation for the very same reasons and at this very moment in time have daughters and sons in service to the nation just like theirs are.

yes but it was still within the individual lifespan of Middle Earth species, like Elves and Wizards and such. So, yes, people still manage to forget the very evils that they know full well exist, and how they come about.

It maintains the same human fault of our apparent love of experimenting with unambiguous fascism every 70-80 years or so, as far back as written history stretches for us (even less of a gap--or just balls-to-the-wall war-mongering totalitarian nonsense prior to the modern era or Enlightenment), just on a different time scale to that fantasy world. So, the argument still holds.

Tolkien's stories aren't that great an analogy for what we are doing to ourselves. They are spot-on to WWII or say what Putin is doing.

We have nobody to blame for believing conspiracy nonsense but ourselves. There is no Dark Lord. We are still plains apes who as it turns out can't handle unmoderated "free" access to spout drivel and fling poo. Honestly this forum isn't one of my favorites because it allows too many trollish ad hom attacks for my taste, but that's the cost of "freedom".

To me the best fictional analogy is Forbidden Planet. I'll give a spoiler alert even though it's 70 years old at this point...the Krell created a machine that allowed their inner Id/imagination create matter. Facebook, twitter, forums that allow anyone to say anything--it's just peoples ugly interior spewing out for the world to see and believe. The Krell's machine ended up killing them and I believe social media is doing the same to us, death by misinformation in our case and not by physical violence (though one tends to lead to the other!)

The Q crowd are a very strange group. I spend more time than I should arguing with them on another site. The fellows I chat with believe that the first amendment gives them the right to say anything they like. There is no defamation, no liable, no collusion, no constraints at all. Every word is protected.
Not a single one seems to know where that idea came from, and they refuse to believe Supreme Court rulings for reasons that no one has explained to me.

I'll post her "Q orb dance" video or whatever the hell it is just to prove that she isn't crazy and how everyone is going to miss her E.T. transmissions.
You may say she's crazy because...well, she is, but she is energetically crazy, so that is something that not all crazies can say. I'm kind of tempted to sync it up to Herbie Hancock's Rock It and see if it is like a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz thing.
Edit - it totally works lol
Edit 2 - if anyone wants to play along, start Herbie @ 0:10

I definitely see a boiling point coming with the Q folks.
On Christmas day evening while at my Q niece for dinner, the first thing out of her mouth was YOU KNOW, TRUMP REALLY DID WIN ALL 50 STATES.
And I was like... WTF brought THAT on???
No one was even talking politics because we know how my niece is when it comes to Trump and the Q.

But what disturbed me was her sudden outburst where I realized she had a lot bottled anger up inside her. A lot of Q anger, a lot of Q frustration. And I know of her frustration because my niece has mentioned many times now just how tired and frustrated she is waiting for "Q" predictions to come true. After all, Trump 'was suppose" to be back in the Whitehouse by now, yet instead things just keep getting worse and worse for The Donald.
And while the Q's try to ignore the Jan 6th committee revelations, they really can't. Q's and the Trumpies can't ignore what is right there before them. Even if they refuse to listen to the mainstream media, the facts somehow make it into their Q bubble and they do not like THAT. They can't ignore it. They want to, yet they can't.

I really worry about that Q breaking point. The Q frustrations over failed Q predictions and with Donald Trump failures. Not the Messiah that you expected, hey Q's ???? And now you don't know what to do. Do you dare question the source of Q the brain-washing? Maybe all of those Q sites and those Q collaborators are full of BS after all? If THAT is in fact the case for a Q person, then wtf do they do? How does one look themself in the mirror and admit they were scammed and it was all total bullshit? How does one admit this to themselves, especially with being a Q???

I do not know how this will play out with my niece and the Q folks. But obviously, they are distressed and confused. For their beliefs, it wasn't suppose to turn out this way. And add in all of that hate they conjured up against so many whom they disagreed with and then insisted on demonizing to the fullest. Those Hollywood elitist, those democrats, those teachers and LGBTQ's folks. The Q belief made them all out to be blood-drinking, baby eating, child molesting pedophiles so they could hate them to the fullest extent. And to then justify violence against them whom they have demonized. Now, the Q's are wondering if these demons they have created out of hate just might be normal every-day people after all? How does a Q handle THAT realization? And is there a way to deflate all of that built-up hate against others?
If you know a Q personally, well just be careful. You never know, you never really know....
