So Much (Mis)information...

I don't really know where to begin. I have been bombarded with misinformation. You have been bombarded with misinformation, from all angles, under assault from all fronts, newspaper, radio, television, movies, video games, music, musicians, socialists, leftists, environmentalists, conservatives, Neocons, teachers, coworkers, friends, family, the internet, corporate advertising, all branches and forms of government....I have spent years researching, learning, ingesting information from so many sources. Studying the founding fathers, the Constitution (the law of the land), governments, war, the origin and the policies U.N. and its affiliates, corruption, NGOs such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the major family foundations, The Federal Reserve, the economy, the rise and fall of nations, socialism, communism, capitalism...Searching for the TRUTH. I have tried to take it all in, and retain everything that i can, good, bad, or indifferent. In the process I have read mounds of documentation, piles of books, watched countless hours of video, had endless discussions, heated debates. Friendships have been forged, and friendships lost.

After all of these years, I have devoted my life to the cause of freedom. And through it all, I am still trying to make sense of the senseless; find reason when there is none, see order in chaos; find the truth between the lies; find hope in the hell of it all. I allocate as much time as I can to educating others, or trying to point them in the direction of the truth. I consider myself to be an optimist, but there are days when I feel as though it is just not enough. For 20+ years I have I packed my brain with historical fact, corroborated by countless sources, and regurgitated it over and over hoping to feed someone's brain other than mine. To pass the it on. Like an unread encyclopedia, I sit on the shelf, loaded, waiting for someone to open my pages so the information can spill out and I can unburden myself. There are days when I wish it, the truth, could all be held up in the light for ALL to see, and compared to the lies. I find myself wanting to shake people awake in public. In the grocery store, when I am discussing the price of pasta with a stranger, as I am filling my basket with the sale of the day. When we get strange looks as we are filling our carts with "necessities", discussing how the prices have shot up, and that inflation is right around the corner, hoping that whoever is in earshot takes the bait and "gets it"...All day, I try. And then, there are days where I just want to be left alone, where I feel like giving up on my fellow man, and just taking care of myself, and my own, preparing for what may come. Preparing for the worst, and praying for the best. it is then that I realize that I must press on, for my children and for yours. I will not stop, I will persevere. And I know, in the end, all that I truly have is my faith, and my family. I pray for their safety, and security but not at the price of our liberties. We will prevail, with God on our side...
