Don't delete it. It's a good post.

There is no “delete”. Never forget that.

Infowars and prison planet huh?

I think something happened there. Around the time we had the massive swine flu outbreak back around 2010 I believe it coincided with President obamas trip to Mexico city which was ground zero for the outbreak. Prison Planet ran a lot of stories tracking the out break and degrees of mutation of the strains then all of a sudden it just dropped everything.

I really want to know why they just walked away from what seemed like a huge story.

It looked like they were on the path to proving the initial outbreak was man made before it mutated to a less lethal version.

Watch how to get down voted :)

I was an npr listener and supporter for about 8-10 years as I felt it was an excellent source of news and information. This was about the time foxnews and CNN went all propaganda.

I know Npr always had a liberal bias but during the last election they become full blown anti Trump pro Hillary. I was kind of surprised at how blatantly bias their reports and programs become and have not listened since.

I take a healthy dose of BBC world and BBC America then try to find the truth somewhere in the middle.

Yes as I get downvoted and before I delete this

Too slow... https://archive.is/Ge31e

I archived the link as a friendly jest... just ribbing you... :-)

But yes, EVERYTHING on Reddit is permanently archived by Reddit (and elsewhere -- many elsewheres)

Everything on the net is archived somewhere... by Three Letter Agencies or whatever.

That's that.

Questions I have for everyone/normal people

Why would you come here to try to address that audience?

Watch it, fella.. I'm gonna have employment in like three months..

Guess it depends on their definition of "everyone/normal" lol ;P

Probably could've just deleted it just seems like mouth diarrhea

Family and Friends. Two of the, if not the most important things in this short Life we are given within the almost inconceivable age of our Universe. What else matters? Money? Fame? All those things eventually fall away and die. But our blood, and those we consciously choose to include within our life? Those create the foundations for which the ripple effects of our existence in this Universe echo outwards.

I honestly don't know if this is sincere or ancient propaganda along the lines of, "blessed are the poor," and if you are poor now it is because you were a bad human in your earlier reincarnations.

Because we are quite deliberately being driven into a politically powerless property and wealth free mass of very dissatisfied poor.

How is that going to work out for the, there must be a profit from every human need, people at the top of the heap? Everyone is going to be very poor, but being told to buy happiness when they are too poor to buy any. Is it called social unrest?

And do they believe that this technology will purchase the necessary controls to achieve that without great violence?

Tell that to the parent of a child who needs medical care but can't pay?

That isn't true. ERs only have to preserve life. What you are saying about the poor being allowed to receive treatment for anything but emergencies has not been true for years. Since the county hospitals were closed and replaced with for profit hospitals. Some rural counties don't have a hospital.

The hospital emergency rooms are only required by law to do that, intervene to prevent death, of course they can just stall around until death occurs and there are no consequences.

No one knows what happiness is but the ones at the top do live much longer than the ones at the bottom.

Do you have a source for your suggestion that people with low standards of living live longer?

It doesn't get the kind of coverage some topics receive, but yes there is evidence.

Do you have evidence that the poor live longer?

I think pretty much 2/3rdd of those articles mention, a lifetime of better than average nutrition and health care and lack of total despair.
Stress is a real killer, and it is real stressful to not know where your next meal will come from, or having to work for an abusive boss, or never receive even minimum health care.

Happiness as a short term event, sure and about equal to sadness events.

Are we not speaking of lifetimes and how much time is spent in fear, real and imagined; holding grievances, real and imagined; seeking or dreaming or retribution and justice; versus time spent feeling satisfied and content,

is that what you mean as happiness, those times of comfort, satisfaction and contentment?

there is no conspiracy of the 1%. there is a conspiracy of the .0001% . There is a group of a few thousand individuals that control this entire planet. And they get their marching orders from an even smaller cabal.

But sure, let's go with the kumbaya, "happiness is all" delusion. That certainly doesn't mirror the life of a farm animal bread for slaughter at all.

Wow, interesting. Can you tell me more about the individuals that controls the planet? Who are they?

happiness is found in leading a purposeful existence.

as for the "slaughter animals", you have problems grasping metaphors, feel free to PM if you need them explained.

Well if the people at the top aren't happy, they can start by reversing their parasitic bullshit system. Maybe it's archons or maybe they're just psychopaths. What point is there in an NWO? Satanic garbage.

we now live in a world where, at least for me, there isnt a single source of news or information i trust completely

To be honest, I go to Reddit. I am generally a liberal, so I have never been fond of Fox News. However, I don't believe CNN either. I work two jobs to support my family, so I'm not watching or listening to anything. I browse Reddit on my phone when I take breaks. I get the usual biased news from r/world, r/politics, etc, but then I feel like being subscribed to subs like r/conspiracy helps to keep it balanced.

they want us to worship their money, and have created materialism. the solution to that is minimalism. if you need very little to be happy its easier to be happy.

I couldn't agree more. I'm single and don't have people over very often.

I have 2 of each silverware a couple plates and 4-5 glasses . I go over to a friends house who is also single yet he has a set of 10 of everything...it's ridiculous. Less is more to keep my life in order...

Clutter and useless shit just take up space. I'm in the process of saving up for a mid size RV. I've always wanted to visit all 50 states and am tired of the rat race.

The first time I realized just how special our country is was camping in the Smoky Mountains. I spent 3 days on each side (TN-NC) and I had a religious experience.

I highly recommend taking a trip by yourself. There is something about walking through the streams, hiking new trails and encountering bears, deer and other wildlife by yourself its invigorating and special.

One thing to take seriously if you are going to venture out by yourself is to bring along a GPS and let people know where you are going and when you expect to be back. Make a waypoint for each mile traveled and send it off to a designated friend every so often so if you happen to have your scalp ripped off by a mother bear they know where to send help.

Peace and love y'all.

When the majority of human lives in this world are consumed by simply trying satisfy their most basic needs and the pain and suffering of privation interferes with all the simple joys and pleasures they too should be able to have, while ours only come from being only slightly better off by working for a system that allows an elite of less than 10% of the population to own and hoard over 2/3rds of all the wealth and property there is on the planet and be the only ones who truly benefit from it, then I'd say that's basically the underlying reason for our general discontent, wouldn't you?

We only work indirectly and peripherally to actually help one another in any real way while we focus all of our attention and efforts into working directly to help that 10% acquire even more wealth and property, which is another reason for our nagging discontent and general lack of satisfaction with even those simple joys we do manage to get out of life.

I totally feel where you're coming from. Today I thought "if I could cruise on my skateboard for the rest of my life, I probably wouldn't mind". That's where I truly feel happy tbh. Status. Status is what makes people discontent. We're always seeing people with better things, seeing people steal from one another, everywhere. In the end everybody dies so, I'm just gonna do whatever till then haha.

Freedom is not knowing what you don't have

I cannot figure out what it is you are actually trying to say.

In the last 60 years technology has changed dramatically. The internet has completely changed the world. It has created a fast pace world and everyone seems to be playing the rat race. Trying to be rich and powerful. But I don't want more money. That means more things, which means more problems, creating more stress. Stress is a killer and I don't want to spread myself to thin. The media is mostly a twisted transcript pushing a political agenda, some form or another. I trust my local news network but it is obvious the national news is at least said in a way that pushes a political view point. Social media is crap. I suggest staying away from that. This website is obviously push a political view point too. But all in all you have to make the decision in what you believe and you can be on the fence about something. And Fuck what other people think. Say what you want to. Words don't matter but actions do. I mostly second guess everything. I trying to view things in different perspectives and try and see both arguments. If I feel confident about oneside of and argument I stick to that, but It's never cut and dry.
