Where is your head right now regarding Iran, the middle east, Israel, and the United States?
My mistrust for anything news-related has led me down a path of either hearing it from the people on the ground where the “war” is taking place or not believing any news report.
People are aware of the fake news in the United States, but it surprises me when people are parroting global news networks as if they are not fake news too.
I heard someone in a frenzy stating the United States is reporting only six Americans dead due to this WAR.
I do not believe that number, however I am not convinced the other numbers citing thousands of U.S. casualties are accurate. This is how rumors get started and how you get people freaked out in large numbers in the quickest way possible.
And that freak out is exactly how you win or lose a war.
Some people are saying if many Americans are dead why would at least the families not be notified?
I think this falls in line with the fact that many from both sides of the aisle do not trust the U.S. government.
I read somewhere that no action is a form of consent, it was talking about the Epstein files but it applies in all current situations.
I do not believe what many people are saying that this war is a diversion from the Epstein files. However, if people do not demand answers quickly then that will imply consent. And, as long as the majority consent to the horrors on many fronts then those in charge will continue to laugh, turn up the volume, and keep pushing the manure down the hill into your face.
While I have never been a fan of the United Nations, I must say President Trump did not really start off on a good foot with his newfangled Board of Peace.
Is this another case of the “weapons of mass destruction” mess in Iraq years ago that turned out to be a vastly different story in hindsight.
Did the United States jump into bed with Israel to start this war?
It could be since most of the current politicians are bought and paid for and that means there was really no choice.
Either way, people had better start getting through the anger, fear and bogus blind belief and start believing the only thing that is real – the still small voice called THE SOUL.
Because whether you see it or not, most of everything is a lie coming down to gullible people and a false narrative.
For example, most “aware” people know that many (not all) protestors in the past few years have been paid to protest. Protestors have admitted this. Others have admitted to being paid to vomit inaccurate information on social media, so what makes you think that everything you are hearing now, from any side of any aisle, from anywhere is true?
Ask yourself how did this country and this world get to this place where we are now?
How did religions get so bastardized (and that includes every religion and not just the one you oppose)?
How did certain people decide they knew better than anyone else what was best for the world and how did they get away with it?
Why did people even decide making weapons to destroy the world was a clever idea?
Why do people hate each other because of politics just because they do not agree?
Why do people with different viewpoints think no one else is right?
Why do people think color, culture and belief makes them better than another person?
Why do leaders have to be arrogant to lead and for example think they have the right to tell women to cover their heads, or what they can do with their body, or tell other races they can’t share space with each other?
It comes down to a low vibration of fear and disrespect.
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said after a recent war briefing, “I am no more clear on what the priorities are going to be from this administration going forward.”
Democratic Senator Christopher Murphy said, “They have contempt for the American people because they think they can carry out the biggest war in the middle east without a single vote, without a single discussion.”
On the Republican side senators are mostly defending the military action against Iran.
My favorite senator, John Kennedy, said intelligence showed Iran was taking “baby steps” to restart its nuclear program and increasing missile production.
Maybe we should have taken baby steps to stop it, or did we?
We put politicians in office to represent the people, not to represent greed allowing for blind arrogance to override compassion for the people.
We are at a critical time in the global landscape.
And yes, the system has gotten so upside down now we kill people because they need to be stopped. Somewhere along the way killing became a money maker and peace was forgotten.
Spoiler alert to my friends anywhere in the world with any belief – you are going to die someday. And you are going to die alone. You are going to die without your money, your family, your possessions, your titles, or anything else and you are going to die exactly like the person you look down on and hate.
Our bodies are all eventually going to go “poof” – which is the only thing humans have in common, yet it seems this most righteous truth is the one thing the fear-based warmongers have forgotten.
