that is one way of looking at it for sure.
the other way is that they show a bit of truth, a bit of light on the propaganda and lies of the west & western media, but like alex jones, david icke, and all those big 'truthers' only serve to distract people or inhibit them from becoming independent and knowledgeable (because they repeatedly go to these sources, as they have uncovered some truth for them.)
peace.
Absolutely true; my litmus test for any such information is whether, at the end, I have been empowered in some way. Info itself is useful, but very few then back it up with an action plan. It seems to be designed to make the "truth-followers" feel smart yet at the same time powerless - true of all sides of the info-theatre. The only one I have found who consistently does is Jon Rappoport.
yes. when it comes down to it, they should all be telling people to become as independent as possible - growing food, water, power etc. etc. not to just keep listening to them and buying their shizz.
most of them miss the biggest truth of all of course - God and His Son are real, despite what both churches and cultural marxism have done to the Truth.
may your path be peaceful.
