I haven't posted much in a long time and I feel kinda bad about that...because my journeys on the internet have showed me how this forum is remarkable in how many people are actually capable of considering unpopular/forbidden opinions. 

so...I want to bring up an interesting anecdote which I feel has huge implications and might get people to rethink a bit how exactly they distinguish truth from fiction.

It relates to this funny footnote in history: https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... ngdom_1914

This was a sort of mass hysteria which occurred in the uk during ww1. And nobody knows why on earth it happened. But apparently, there were mass reports of Russian soldiers traveling through england with 'snow on their boots' to go help the war effort. There were at least 500 accounts from eyewitnesses...which would include regular people, train conductors, members of parliament, etc. Some accounts included some rather bizarre information such as the Russians speaking Gaelic (huh?).

thing is, we know it did not happen. russia knew they didn't take such a circuitous route to the front line, and it also just doesn't make sense...there isn't any strategic or tactical reason that would justify Russia having its soldiers march across Britain in ww1.

But I think it is an interesting thought experiment to consider...what if the official narrative was that it DID happen? What if for some strange reason the British and Russian institutions decided they wanted people to believe the story was true? They certainly could cite a lot of eyewitness testimony. And they could throw anyone who doubts the story in prison...so few people would dare to deny the narrative. If you seemed to be skeptical, anyone could just show you a photo of some random soldier eith snow on their boots and say 'see? This is a Russian soldier traveling through england to join the fight at the front lines!'. The state would likely also resort to weird emotional manipulation like 'anyone who doubts this story just hates Russians and wants to deny their contribution to ww1!'. Without question, all the normies would be totally on board with the official narrative. Movies wight be made about it with tear jerker scenes of romance between Vladimir the Russian pilgrim and tilde the sweet scottish lass...and if you dare question the veracity of the story you will rob them of that touching scene.

Are you kidding, moron? The scots murdered 50 million of them - and if you do not believe that blood libel against the scots, its because you hate jews.

Mark twain actually suggested that the reason jews had not taken over the usa is because the Scots are better at being jews than the jews are. It was some witty quote like that but I don't remember it verbatim. Naturally he would have been dissapointed to see the usa of 2024

If my memory serves, one of his remarks was that there were only two jews in scotland, and both were trying to raise money for passage out.

That's **** hilarious.

It was also from Twain that I learned how jews got their preposterous names - shecklegrueber and tannenbaum and such.

The austrian authorities, tired of near universal jewish refusal to assimilate, legislated that every jew had to take a last name. Bear in mind, at the time, last names were generally referred to as "Christian names," because it was only Christians at that point who had begun to use last names. 

At the expiration of the time jews were given to register their Christian names, petty officials were empowered to provide the recalcitrant with whatever names they chose. And that is how names like money grubber and Christmas tree became common jewish names.

The problem is that if you are > 2 SD, you might go insane from having to constantly remind yourself of the gaslighting everywhere. 

This is why living in some hut in the middle of a forest (with running water, electricity, a working toilet, etc.) is mandatory for some ppl. LOL

I think it's more like the normies were driven away so your sample size is limited to people with higher degrees of neuroplasticity. Most people are set in their ways by their 20s, but small % of people are able to absorb lots of information past 30 & quickly adapt.

You can reveal your desire for a bitch-slap with two words - and yes, you're good at it, fruitcake.

Most effeminate masochists are.

I don't know if this is true, but it has the RING of truth.

There is a story of a doctor taking an ultrasound of a male negro fetus, and in the placenta beside the fetus there appeared to be a bench warrant.

Patronizing misdirection since all truth is facts fictional relative time governs today each rotation with AM midnight to noon is tomorrow and noon to midnight is PM today all accomplished every generation gap alive each rotation by power of suggesting longitude time zones are in series of events separate sequence to temperate zones evolving parallel to rotation off the planet regardless inorganic periodic elements of this universal position and genetic outcomes of life native to this atmosphere between tropics and north and south polar caps being opposing seasons each rotation as are male, female, asexual body types of reproductions native to this universal position never same ancestry each next rotation as arrived so far.

Really doesn't matter which subjectivity a debate about tomorrow is singled out upon academic terminology, comparing generation gaps past and present combined against each ancestor occupying time this rotation since conceived into a specific ancestral lineage, generation gap, ideology, geographical location, living here in this moment defined by seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seasons, annual revolutions, 3rd from a star, specific galaxy, etc.

Intellectual minds vs ancestral brain navigating living proportionately alive now and every human chooses to believe in tomorrow rather than accept the total sum of their behavior since dawn of civilization began corrupting 5th generation arrivals every generation gap each village of vernacular tribalism makes ancestors role play social narratives cradle to grave.

Why dictatorships explode and democracies implode. Codes of silencing instinctive awareness cradle to grave are family traditional values, community theater, morality, legality, ethics, economics, social consensus standardizing social behavior among the 5 generation gaps alive this rotation each next rotation, each next generation until no more generation gaps arrive come hell or high water.

High water is ice caps on mountains and polar regions of this rotating planet watch seeks its own level on a sphere rotating, revolving, spiraling as displaced specifically this universal position all the time details never duplicate previous existences so far.
