Hello my friend @v4vapid,
I'm just stopping by (as usual a day late and a dollar short) to express my appreciation for what you do here.
Much like @schattenjaeger, I tend to avoid the news, and I can't stomach the propaganda spoon-fed by most media. I'm thankful for the internet, and tremendously appreciative of your work to "pull back the curtain" a bit on stories like this.
I used to subscribe to The New American, The Spotlight, and later the American Free Press. Now in what may be my declining years, I have refocused on trying to expend my time and energy on the creation of literature, art, and beneficial or constructive products.
Nevertheless, I am grateful for articles like yours that continue to literally confirm what I know to be true: all human governments as we know them are corrupt, evil, and destructive, constantly obscuring the truth and deceiving their constituents about the evil they do.
Thanks, that means a lot!
I think we all do our part in some ways and I'm certainly 100% in agreement with you that our time is better spent on creating rather than getting sucked into the endless soap opera media stories. Definitely think it's a much better use of your precious time. For me, I've always been a news junkie and have a keen interest in media manipulation - so I actually enjoy parsing through the information sometimes. BUT, I did says sometimes - other times can be absolutely overwhelming. Just the sheer amount of propaganda that we ingest without question is enormous and mind numbing.
Thus, it's critical to take a step back from time to time and not put your energy into following all these manufactured dramas. Heck, IF there's WAVES out there, I'll happily close the laptop and spend my time in the serenity of the ocean to recharge my soul and cleanse my mind.
Cheers, \m/
And I'm ever so glad you are!
You provide a valuable service for we who are or have become less so inclined. You help us keep our finger on the pulse of what's really happening behind the scenes, without us having to spend inordinate amounts of time digging through the news rubble to find the truth!
BTW, I hope you are aware of the upcoming BTS / BEOS "raindrops?"
Also, are you watching @distributedweb and what's happening with the new decentralized internet protocol and distributed DNS? Some really cool, promising developments...
