With world events unfolding faster than we can keep track of good denizens of ATS, I implore you... question everything. Question it all. And look to see if anybody is yanking at your heart strings, your values, your ego your sense of security, or your emotions. If so? Refuse to be manipulated! Fight the good fight.

Now, if a slightly “off” guy on the Interent can be this frank about it, and still accomplish it, imagine how insidious, dangerous, and prevalent these practices are when governments and corporations invest untold sums of money in figuring out how to trick your emotions into overpowering your reason.
Are you afraid yet? Are you beginning to question it all yet? Good.

I have no desire, at all, to fear monger or to make people distrust everything. I just am learning to question what I see - no matter how convincing it is and to take it all with a grain of salt. An example.

ETA: Truthfully if I wanted attention I'd just film venus or an airplane from my back deck, post it as an "OMG A UFO" thread - and then spend the next four weeks ad homing all of the folks who tried to tell me what it actually was - and collect about 400 flags in the process.

But terms like fear monger? Well one cannot effectively argue opinion as the only counter argument is alternative opinion - equally as valid or invalid as any and all other opinion.

And please let me know when that quote can be formed into a question which can be replied to substantively and we'll be getting somewhere!
