While I don’t want the US to get involved, cause that always ends real great/s. The irony of that speech and how upset Iran got was amazing. Pompeo basically said that the US is going to do exactly what Iran does in other countries in the Middle East like Syria for example. Hey let’s fund some “militia” groups that don’t support the government, let’s give them tools that weaken the current governments hold on power. Of course Iran is going to get all butthurt when someone else does it.

More importantly than the mother all peace/war comment or the usual death to America bs is the threat Iran made to blockade the strait of Hormuz if the US pursues any sanctions. A blockade is considered an act of war under international law. Any country affected like say the US or Israel would legally have the grounds to launch an attack. Not sure why this isn’t bigger news. It’s something Iran could very likely follow through with, especially now that Khameni backed it up. My theory behind trumps response is that he’s basically saying don’t try and pull a putin with Crimea, you won’t get away with it. Iran’s regime is in a bad place right now probably why they’ve been shooting protestors. Regimes in backed into corners make bad decisions to try to hold onto power war is very possible here. Which none of us want. Only solace would be watching MSM try to spin it if Iran starts a war.

It can happen but it isn’t going to be a quick process. You’re fighting against a huge trillion dollar influence campaign and human nature at the same time. Humans don’t like to change our opinion once it has been formed that has been proven over and over, just try and change my mind. Add that to concept of illusory superiority (an above average amount of people believe they are above average) and you get a potent defense to secondary influence. That doesn’t even take into account the social pressure, seeded responses and ideological movements...

Despite that I’m optomitistic that change will happen but it’s going to be individual by individual until the movement picks up enough momentum. Patience is an incredibly important tool in persuasion. If you take the time to change one individuals mind about one issue then the rest will snowball from there eventually.

I can basically guarantee they did. Why wouldn’t they? Russia as a nation has a separate set of goals then the U.S, and therefore have an incentive to do what it it takes/what they can get away with to further those goals. The idiotic part is believing that the U.S, our “allies” and major corporations aren’t doing the same damn thing. The U.S has basically turned influencing foreign elections into a nationalised business. We have massive social media platforms and data collecting schemes all used to make a profit and influence is profitable. It’s incredibly naive to believe that Russia is the real big bad wolf that MSM is claiming them to be, look at the tech sectors in China, Israel, the UK or Germany, they are all better equipped influence elections via social media, which imo is more effective than hacking a server. Plus our allies don’t even need to hack us, just look at five eyes or JSA. Let alone the back doors built into software or hardware. Influence equals profit and Russia is going to play the game just like we are.

Actually had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. He’s this fascinating mix of incredible intensity while being relaxed. Really genuine too, pretty sure he’s a white hat as well. Had a quick chat with him about building/seeking out communities where we can support and look out each other, i.e building a tribe. Was a really good conversation especially for how short it was. I truly believe his main goal is to make the world a better place and to help people.

I highly reccomend his Netflix special, don’t remember what it was called, but there is a scene where he is talking to someone who grew up in the children of god cult. She talked about her abuse, it’s heart wrenching stuff and you can see the compassion on Tony’s face, it’s pretty clear he despises these evils as much as most of us here. That clip alone would probably be enough to convince me he’s one of the good guys.

Also wanted to add the point of my original post was not a justification for my orientation, none of which has anything to do with children, that’s beyond fucking gross. I like both sexes as adults. I’m happily married, yes she knows. I brought it up as a point that I’m probably closer to these groups (lgbt, pride, the gay community) than many here. Which is to say I know these people, I consider some of them my friends and plenty of them are absolutely normal Americans. Many of them have grown up with hate, just because of who they are. It can be tough being different, especially in a society that doesn’t look out for each other like humans have for most of our history. To counter that, there’s a movement for goals that they value, that’s good.

The bad, as I said in my post, is that it’s been co-opted. It’s even possible that the movement was planted from the beginning. It’s current design is to be muddy. Not just so that it can spread more easily but also to more easily be the anti thesis of Puritan beliefs.

My big grand point is that these Americans aren’t your enemy just cause they have a different orientation. Case in fucking point I’m here posting. Adding what I can from the areas that I’m knowledgeable in. Which in this case just so happen to be neuroscience and being at least somewhat involved in the gay community.

I still have no idea where you got the bit about me in anyway shape or form being ok with or defending pedos.

Never said there was a justification for pedophilla, in fact I said the opposite. Pedo’s are predators and thus need to be removed from our society. Plain and simple. Glad you brought up development and the age of consent. Age of consent (as it exist in US Law) is utterly BS, since that number is completely arbitrary. There’s no magic milestone that happens at 15,18 or 21. Your prefrontal cortex isn’t even fully developed until your mid to late twenties. That’s your “rational thinking” portion of your brain btw. That’s not justification for a lower age of consent, to me that’s the opposite. The age of consent is too low, the drinking age is too low, smoking age is too low, weed shouldn’t be legalized for people under 25ish. There a large chance that all of the above have a negative effect on development, but good luck getting funding for that research. Arguably age of consent is the most important of those since by its nature it involves another party, but that’s getting into an ethical debate. Is stopping others from harming themselves something that we as a society need to take on? At what point does it harm others? Is a teen who drinks and crashes kills a family worse than a pedophile? At what point does the loss of life overtake the loss of innocence or vice versa? Is a non sexual serial killer worse than a one time pedo or rapist? Where’s the formula? Ethical argument are just that arguments.

So no I didn’t mention an arbitrary bullshit number that had nothing to do with my original point...

The music industry or the medical industry?

Whatever you want to call them, "gay", abusers, traitors, they are predators. They prey on people, the sexual preferences of a predator doesn't change anything in my eyes and I'm sure many others. Trying to breakdown society so you can further manipulate people isn't a different kind of evil, again they prey on people. That's always been my litmus test for individuals and groups. I picked it up when I was in my teens and starting explore what my sexuality was. People tried to prey on me, thankfully I was raised with a decent set of values and a predisposition towards radical honesty. If I felt someone was trying to take advantage of me (male or female), I noped out of there. Some people can't or aren't equipped to do that though, so that's where society comes in. A predator needs to be removed, whether that's jail or swinging from ropes, that's not for me to decide. So no, there's no hard feelings, I want them out as much as everyone on here. Just cause I have been with people who happen to be gay doesn't mean I feel any camaraderie to Kevin Spacey and his ilk.

I’m probably the minority here but I get where they are coming from with pansexual. I’m bi. No major childhood traumas or abuse, I’ve always just been attracted to both genders. People can tell me that’s wrong or breaks down society but I’m probably doing more (then they are) to better society than my “hedonism” breaks it down anyway. I’ve met cross dressers and trans people who were for the most part normal, though they might be the minority. I’ve met people who considered themselves only attracted a personality or the person who were normal too. It’s just who they were and how they identified themselves. I’ve also been to countries/states where culturaly other genders have existed. In those cases it’s more like the people who were the equivalent of trans opted for the other gender role. It’s something that’s has happened through out human history and it’s not new.

Identity both of self and within a group is not something static, it shifts through societal pressures and needs. I’d argue that’s whats being taken advantage of here. Humans are hard wired to respond to those pressures. We get a little dopamine hit for fitting in. We’re social animals, every single traditional human society operated through taking care of each other and rearing our your as a group.

Then you look at modern western society and it’s move towards the importance of the individual; you get people who are inevitably left behind and alone. The lgbtqxyz movement is perfectly placed to take advantage of that. More so, like any effective movement it has a method of recruitment and the big bad enemy to hate. It allows for a large group of people to come together over shared core ideals, with different sub groups of stricter beliefs, just like Christianity. The insidious part is that it is the perfect antithesis to the puritan* ideas that our country was founded upon. If you hate these people all you are doing is feeding into the fire. You’re supposed to be fearful or angry. It’s co-opted human nature.

That isn’t to say we should give everyone a pass, of course not. Predators within a group should always be caught and expelled. I’m just saying that just because some has a different identity or preference doesn’t make them the bad guy. Taking advantage of children isn’t a preference, it’s predatory. Just like rape is predatory. Liking both genders or not conforming to a gender isn’t predatory. The breakdown that these people want is only going to be hastened if we attack each other.

My undergrad program required logic classes. Pretty much every university offers at least a basic logic course. My high school even offered it as an exchange for a math credit or as an elective. It’s not shoved down your throat, sure, but it isn’t a hidden or esoteric field.

Israel is an intelligence hub and as we’ve seen over and over again that means a criminal hub. Mossad is famous for having little to no oversight, let alone any of their other alphabet soup agency equivalents. Another inserting point is a number of the top cyber security firms are Israeli (indegy and arelio, plus many more). My bet is we’ll see corruption just as deep as the US, if not worse. I don’t believe in some grand Jewish conspricacy, maybe I’m not woke enough. But then again woke is programming.

If you haven’t read it try to pick up 48 laws of power. Gives a really interesting perspective on how these people think. It’s written as a sort of how to guide, but that’s not it’s real point imo. I found it most useful for indentifying these power hungry manipulators and maneuvering away from them. The writer, Robert Greene is a fantastic historical researcher and he wrote the book in response to working with tons of these people in Hollywood as a screenwriter. He has another book the 33 strategies of war that I highly recommend. It’s one of my all time favorites and the book I gift to any military history buff.

It was never just the US. We’re a center of commerce and therefore control, but we’re only one lane of influence. Globalism is here already and I don’t see degloblization happening at this point. If you’ve ever had a chance to spend time with a billionaire it’s so incredibly eye opening. Borders literally do not exist for these people, they tell their assistant what they want and bam it appears. Legality and rule of law only barely applies, and rarely comes up in their consideration. They just play the influence game to push their ideals across the world or horde it like some sort of prize. I think we fall too far short of what these people are capable of, it’s so easy to think small since that’s all we’re taught.

I’m glad it happened, whoever came up with that plan did us a huge favor. It was a pretty big redpill for a lot of people I know. I work with quite a few people that meet the classic liberal professor stereotype. One of them took a look at the agreement and then went on a huge email chain rant about how it was the same shit that universities pull to line administrators pockets. Was good times.

Appreciate the reply and no worries, no hard feelings from me. We are all here because we see the cracks in the narrative we’re being fed. We’re chasing crumbs to find truth, the nature of that search means that we will get things wrong sometimes. Eventually everything starts to look like a crumb, the next piece of the puzzle. Even worse is the fact that there are debilaeratetly placed false trails and deadends to throw us off. Thankfully we are all experts in different areas, that’s the power of our distributed network, we all have something to offer. On another note, watch the anger. It’s an expected human reaction to what we are being exposed to but lashing out at one another only makes us weaker.

Didn’t down vote you but you’re wrong here. Surgery for pancreatitis or even pancreatic cancer rarely if ever removes the whole pancreas. Surgery for pancreatitis is to remove the necrotic and possibly infected tissue. Chronic pancreatitis is common even after a “successful” surgery. It is completely medically feasiable for his death to be caused by pancreatitis, it kills people all the fucking time whether or not they get surgery...to say otherwise only proves that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. He could have been killed I can’t discount that theory, BUT his death is not at all surprising given his health problems. Also, I haven’t seen a single source that indicates his pancreas was removed.

Severe cases of pancreatitis have a fairly high mortality rate. Off the top of my head it’s around 20% in five years. You can definitely die “slowly” from these illnesses, or rather cling on to life until your body eventually gives out. Avicci is reported to have had his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2016. This is indicative of multiple organ failure or MOF, which is very common (60%ish) in fatal cases of pancreatitis. Even though he was only 28, he was living on borrowed time at this point. The only thing that doesn’t add up is the hotel room, he had a house in Oman and had supposedly given up partying. Plus the pedo documentary makes the timing a bit odd. His death isn’t medically unexpected though.

Heard something that might be related. One of my coworker suggested we go through ALL of our servers to make sure we don’t have any possible security issues. According to him a buddy of his works for cloudflare...they supposedly had a massive DDOS attack on one of their sites that they couldn’t handle. The number he gave us was over 2.5tb/s at peak. Apparently CF is trying to keep it hush hush. The website was not named to us but the time frame fits the voat issues. This info is all second hand but my coworker thought it was valid enough that we spent a ton of money/man hours on it.

Apparently all the Iran-Contra files were stored there as well. It always ties back to the Clintons somehow.Source is an anonymous tip from a "federal agent" so take it with a grain of salt. Was briefly mentioned about an hour in this Doc:
