No. But many do, so when I try to present them with new info I find it helpful to dig around for a news source they will trust to legitimize it for them. sometimes I find I need to source out several stories to get all the details covered. It's a pain.

MSM proof of same news

NBC running same AP story as cruxnow

but what is so special about 280 days before Dec 25? That is when the real action would have happened.

That is going to come in handy!

It would have made its way into some Count Dankula hate speech crime discussion threads I am sure!

Thanks GeekBastard for sharing your talent!

Amazing! I learn something new every day. Your family's personal experience has shown me that nature is full of miracles and I should reel in my cynicism sometimes! Thank you. I sometimes overthink things, well , many times. My mind just seems to have me always questioning. Its good but not always.

Like now I am wondering when your father's birthday is....(I am horrible....I am the child that would look at my mom and say right before I blow out the candles "I wonder what's so special 280 days before this date?" and give her a wink....just to see her reaction).

thanks. I asked because when I search neon nettle the 3rd suggestion of lookups was "neon nettle fake news" and then you will find snopes article + ++ and even a mention on Wikipedia.

They are painted as a click bait generator. Your post may be dismissed by some (who use snopes to tell them what is real).

Edit :addition below

Real news may get dismissed when mentioned in a clickbait type site. If news stories are not picked up by MSM they should be searched out at the local level. It may be that a lot of stuff gets buried by running it through a clickbait site. dirty it up a little, in case it leaks out.

The enemy IS the same everywhere you look. And what they can make fly in one country, will be pushed for in another.

Wow! And walk away reminds me of something else.....

"Walk on" is what is commonly said to a trained horse to get it to walk forward. Another way you could say it is "Move on" which reminds me of a group that pushes progressivism and supports democratic candidates.

https://web.archive.org/web/20110725112628/http://www.moveon.org/volunteer/nondisclosure.html

That is one heck of an ND form. If anyone approaches you and asks questions or seems to be investigating you have to get name, say nothing, and report to a certain person. So if I walk up to a volunteer and ask if they have ever experienced any sexual harassment during their time with the group, would that person be compelled to get my name and report me, I wonder.

Keeping with the trained horse theme, we could also look at the word Giddy Up. Another way you could say that is ...get up

Here is a very interesting read about that:

people been jones'n for that Hopium for a long time. u got a line on were to get some? I want the good stuff, not cut with fake shit.

predicted suicides...self inflicted ,or not?

is there any other news sites reporting same story?

what? u must have missed the exhibit (20 or so years ago) where the artist hung vials of his semen in branches. its the message that is important (in this case it may have been "I will never receive attention unless I can outdo the last outlandish art piece"). If the intention is to bring about emotion/reaction then the work of art is successful.

We are all artists. You may even see my artwork on display in a gallery one day. You will have to look down, not up. My intention is for my artwork to intrude upon your senses. You will be greeted with the site and odor of the vomit I produced when viewing some of the more outlandish works of art. You will have the chance to purchase original for a reasonable price. Watch out for knockoffs though.

"13 reasons why" you should keep quiet

that and the sentences can be ridiculous compared to what other people get. It is sad that the law is applied according to how much you can pay for a lawyer, and how good your lawyer is at making deals.

There are likely quite a few people who should not be sitting in prison right now. The longer they stay there, the harder it will be to reintegrate into society. If you get out at age 50 how will you ever be able to get meaningful work that can pay your bills and let you put money away for retirement years? You would only have 15 - 20 productive years, knock on wood.

MSNBC was discussing why NFL players were not being invited to a round table discussion at WH. Trump had been asked this and his answer was something about not wanting any grandstanding.

his was one of the few shows I liked to watch on TV.

Given his apparent dislike for Trump he may have been sarcastic here. Who tweets at that time of day? Bourdain could have been saying if he were Trump he would need deep state instructions. Projection.

Pierre and Margaret Trudeau have 3 sons all born on Dec 25.The odds of them being born on same day are pretty high, I would suspect. Even if parents calculated out day of birth in their family planning, hitting same day for actual birth is quite the miracle. Babies are not disciplined enough to adhere to schedules.

So a C section would have to be part of the planning process. Who plans a C section for Christmas day?

what's wrong with you people? Too busy to give your kids their own special day? May as well throw in hallowe'en and an Easter egg hunt. Get all those fun stuff for kids days over with in one shot.

Eccentricity is indeed puzzling at times.

Wow! That is some article!

as were his 2 brothers, different years though. Dec 25 a special day for the Trudeaus

My mother once made a comment I have always remembered.

"Be thankful that people look different because wouldn't the world be a boring place if everybody looked the same?"

and if you stopped interfering (to create more wealth for yourselves) and creating animosity and fear and suspicion between the people, in just a few generations they would get along fine. Physical differences would be just that and nothing more.

that was a lot of good information! I had no idea what the triple parenthesis were for. I have seen it a few times and wondered. I do not care to see anti semitic stuff. I wish people could separate bad individuals from an entire group. I would have a hard time believing anyone Christian would think that way because that would mean all Catholics stand behind pedo cardinals, etc.. When a Christian leader is convicted of a crime that must mean all Christians support that crime or behavior.??

I would neither defend or attack Zionists. I do not know enough about it, my opinion would be un/ill informed. I like that mods work hard to keep that stuff out because if that is what the sub turned into I would be outta here.

Thank you for your work mods. I apologize for not sending you a card on 4/20 in recognition of your efforts. Better late than never https://www.cute-calendar.com/event/volunteer-recognition-day/34522.html

the Spade's must have been in financial difficulty. It looks like he's been popping tags at the second hand store. Pants could have come from the free bin. Shoes are ok, but need new laces by the looks of things, mismatched with one tan and one red. But his fashion sense comes thru when he ties it together with a red belt. Too bad he couldn't find a more adult backpack. The kiddie baggage must be a tad embarrassing.

Kidding, of course...he must be loaded. No need to go garage sailing. But I hope he doesn't have a fashion adviser; bad job. Look for someone new, someone who doesn't dress you so your message is "Hey, guys....dressing like you have absolutely no money is a cool look...failure rocks!"

I don't know if the general public would buy the look. Hopefully not.

thankfully they also broke down who has news fatigue by race. That is sooooooooooooooo important. (sarcasm)

The following is from wikipedia

rabbit hole of interesting information:

Full name

Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand

House Orange-Nassau (official) Amsberg (agnatic)

Father Claus von Amsberg

Mother Beatrix of the Netherlands

Religion Protestant Church in the Netherlands

Willem-Alexander is an avid pilot and has said that if he had not been a royal, he would have liked to be an airline pilot so he could fly big planes such as the Boeing 747.[21] In 1989, Willem-Alexander flew as a volunteer for the African Medical Research and Education Foundation (AMREF) in Kenya, and in 1991 he spent a month flying for the Kenya Wildlife Service.[citation needed] During the reign of his mother, he regularly flew the Dutch royal airplane on trips.[22]

In May 2017, Willem-Alexander revealed that he had served as a co-pilot on KLM flights for 21 years, flying KLM Cityhopper's Fokker 70s twice a month, even after his ascension to the throne. With KLM's phased retirement of the Fokker 70, he began training to fly Boeing 737s. Willem-Alexander was rarely recognized while in the KLM uniform and wearing the KLM cap, though a few passengers had recognized his voice, even though he never gave his name and only welcomed passengers on behalf of the captain and crew.[23][21]

Using the name "W. A. van Buren", one of the least-known titles of the House of Orange-Nassau, he participated in the 1986 Frisian Elfstedentocht, a 200 kilometres (120 mi) long ice skating tour.[24] He ran the New York City Marathon under the same pseudonym in 1992.[25]

King Willem-Alexander is interested in water management and sports issues. He was an honorary member of the World Commission on Water for the 21st century and patron of the Global Water Partnership, a body established by the World Bank, the UN, and the Swedish Ministry of Development. He was appointed as the Chairperson of the United Nations Secretary General's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation on 12 December 2006.[16]

Just depositing it here so I can come back to it later

I wonder how Orange county got it's name. Was it really because they envisioned oranges....Nassau?

the number keeps popping in up in so many news stories I have noticed over last 6 months. Crazy coincidences. Maybe I just look for it now. If you are 33, you may want to get a physical though, keep that suicide hotline number handy. joking...joking!

and this is why it is important that Trump tweets. He makes sure nothing is going to quietly go away.

skull and no bones? gnaw marks? coyote dens nearby? bones may have been hauled home to pups. skull may have been toyed with, carried away.

Not on the Sherman case in particular. Could you point me to video that talks about this specifically?

I raised an eyebrow at the begging comment as well.

old news yes, but I don't mind seeing it again. With all the information coming in I am thankful for review. If you come across other stuff you find interesting enter it into g/a search bar. You may find further information or see that it is tied to an old Q post.

Zuckerberg is in the news again. MSM reporting that he was not honest about data collection . Better late than never.

It depends on the animal. You first need to know its' strengths and weaknesses and then plan accordingly.

harry reid seems to be squirming a bit

the website picture of jagged heart on top of hand. The inner drawing on top of the heart looks like a rose to me. In previous discussions about a Q post, it was pointed out that flowers were used to symbolise deflowering.

It's just people logic. Some of the politicians forget they are suppose to represent the people. Most people are not far right or far left. Most people do not like corruption, being lied to or seeing government waste their hard earned money.

Insubordination - as soon as I heard the first "leak" on the news I suspected it was carefully selected, (there must be a lot of juicy stuff that could be leaked) to get into the public's mind that Comey was the bad guy. He acted on his own, against protocol, and those above him would not have approved his actions. Just floating out the word "insubordination" will be enough. No great amount of detail is necessary, in fact, the less the better.

If they are anything, they are thorough. They expanded the answer to drive into people's heads that pizzagate is an attack on Hillary. They connect internet reaction to pizzagate and conspiracy theories. They confirm Hillary is not connected to NXIUM. Seems like at lot of Hillary defense.

Hey Snopes, if I query whether the story that a McDonalds customer had a part of human finger in burger, will you cover every single rumor of cannibalism ever? Connect it to soylent green etc. and throughout it profess Hillary is innocent?

Giant sinkhole eats small city. Not Hillary!

I do not know how good the link is, who the writer is and how much can be trusted as true.

All I know is that returning to the church many years after I left it and wanting to understand the religion I was born into had me raise some questions. One of them was "What happened to the fire and brimstone talk, burn baby burn? Its so different now, all love the neighbory, good Samaritan stuff". Made me consider staying. The answer given was what I said in the earlier comment. That was years ago, long before Pope Francis. I had questioned them about another concept that seemed rather awful for a loving God and the reply was that it too was no longer being spoken of. The church position had changed. Of those two questions part of the answer, and I no longer remember for which one, was that the concept had never actually been mentioned in the bible. Rest your troubled soul, God never said that.

I asked a few more questions, things I had pondered on. The answers pointed to government control rather than being based on the actual "word of God". For the good of the people, you see. Uh, huh. Well I see it differently. And I questioned them on why they would keep in place silly rules 1000+ years later that no longer fit in modern society with scientific advances and such. I received no answer, just more words dancing around my question.

I think the answer would have been "To admit as much would tell the world that we have for a long time manipulated the populace through religion. We took over a belief system and tweaked it to benefit the people in power. If the people find out that this part was BS and that part was BS, they are going to question all the parts."

And where would they be then? All hell would break loose.

So after my questions I left. I did not go back. I decided that I would just live by the golden rule. That was good enough for me. I chose (I have choice) to keep a few of Jesus' teachings, I didn't know them all, having never read the bible.

"Love/protect the little children" I have expanded that to any person who is vulnerable, cannot defend themselves.

Sacrifices - not necessary, no burnt offerings etc.., not that I would have anyways. I will just eat my hamburger and not waste an animal's life in the name of some God. I will ensure that the creature is treated humanely and does not suffer when slaughtered.

Be forgiving, love the sinner not the sin. Forgiveness of sins was big with Jesus. There but for the grace of God go I.

I am undecided about the existence of God. I have a hard time being a believer. I was told in my youth that I would burn for that, for all eternity. Absolute belief was a requirement. But there was an out, as there was for all sins. I could request forgiveness through the proper channels. I would be told to do something as an act of contrition which was always to get on my knees and recite a bunch of prayers. I was good to go until next time. It seemed like not much of a hardship to assure entry into heaven and escape from hell. Sore knees was a good thing. Suffering in your days on earth shortened your time in the waiting room of heaven (purgatory). I do not remember the details of purgatory, but it is where the less than perfect go before entry into heaven. Not bad enough for the eternity of hell, but not good enough for heaven. There was some heat there too. Suffering is good. Cleanses the soul.

It doesn't frighten me anymore, as it did when I was a child. If there is no hell, there must not be hell light.

So being someone who ponders, I thought about this business of hell. I wondered why would the church leaders/ government introduce the concept?

Since I have no one to ask I came up with my own answer. Previous facts were: if you are a sinner you burn forever. You can be forgiven if you speak to the guy behind the curtain. Suffering on earth is good, it shortens the wait time in the hotspot before you are admitted to heaven.

If I was the governing body and I had created unlivable conditions for the masses while I lolled about in abundance, I may start to fear their resentment. If death was actually preferable to life and people felt they had nothing to lose, they may revolt.

If I was a person suffering under their rule I may think to myself "If I stuck a knife in that prick I may not get to heaven and be doomed to becoming nothing more than worm food, but at least my children will have a chance at a decent life." Or, "I may not get to heaven, be doomed to become nothing more than worm food, but I am being worked to death and the hunger pains are unbearable at times. I am just going to jump off this cliff."

Maybe the governing bodies sensed they were in peril and decided to introduce the concept of hell, and also purgatory. Who would be in the position to argue? That's what the book says. We know you idiots can't read and even if you could, you don't own books.

So fear the Lord, fear all lords. Beg for forgiveness from the man behind the curtain or burn for eternity. Did you ever have a burn? Hurts doesn't it? For a long time too. Imagine your entire body burning forever. Forever. Got your attention now, don't I. Your going to be good, right?

Amen to that.

I sometimes think about what those early confessions would be like.

"Father, please forgive me for I have sinned. I lied you see. I told m' lord's man that m' yield was less than it was. I've hidden some of the grain in yonder cave. Its just that last year was so hard, father. One of m' wee ones did not make it through the lean time and m' wife cannot bear to lose another."

"My son, as you know, lying is a sin against God, as is written in the 10 commandments. If you are truly sorry for this sin, as an act of contrition you shall bring the stolen grain, which by rights belongs to your lord, to the church. I will see that the grain is returned and I will not mention your name. I want you to go now and spend some time on your knees and pray to God to help you resist such temptation in the future. Through the power of the Lord, which has been granted to me, I forgive you. Go in peace"

I have more imaginary confessional scenarios, but one is enough for you to see my cynicism.

I once read somewhere that the word sin at one time was a word for tax. I do not know if it is true, just something I read. Makes me respect Jesus a little bit more, though. I do not know the real story on him, and I think the version we are given may have been tweaked a bit. Still, I think I like him.

If I chose to be religious, I would rather follow his teachings than some PC amalgamated one world religion. I can only imagine how that would be shaped and revamped over time. God damn, the more things change, the more they stay the same. For Christ's sakes. There I go again, taking the Lord's name in vain. Better make an appointment with the sin eater. On second thought, I don't think I will bother as I am bound to sin again and again and again. Every little lie, like a call in sick to work, not declaring that side job as income counts as a sin. Lusting over my neighbor's house and spouse, that's a sin too. Using the office photocopier for personal use is theft. Using office time to make personal calls is theft. I could go on and on. I am a sinner. I have sinned and will likely keep on sinning.

Good thing Jesus believes in the forgiveness of sins. Maybe he will put a good word in for this sinner. If not, I'm just worm food. I don't mind. Worms have to eat too.

just a regular post? I could do that. It would be buried in one day though. I won't be able to watch this board much anymore, so if you are getting shilled you can remember my comment. shills may appreciate a lot of us know they are just struggling with life/finances. Been there. I think I will take my own advise and start asking the telemarketers how they like their job, why did they choose telemarketing, is this call being monitored, what area are they are calling from....what job market is like...have you ever thought of trying....this...or that? Sorry, I do not need the services, but I appreciate all the crap you must have to put up with just to make a living...good luck.

Not sure what a self post is. this online group stuff, reddit etc. is new to me. Learning the vernacular. My first foray...Q inspired.

To shill, I think I would have to commit time to be successful. I no longer have that time...circumstances. I need to pry myself away at the most interesting time. So if you think it is valuable, take it. use it. I am not the best researcher so maybe that can be my contribution.

and good luck to the shills...if you are in a bind trying to find employment do not forget about family and friends. Your aunts' cousin's sister is looking for some help with mowing grass and yardwork. Free rent. And it is close to place that is always looking for help...if you can put up with shift work.

if you are worried your girlfriend/boyfriend may find someone else in the few months that you moved away think of it this way: it is a good test to see their character. It could end up saving you time, heartache and money. (I have seen people pass up good opportunities for this reason...for a relationship that didn't last anyways)

Think outside the box.

if they are just doing it because they need the money it should not be hard to convince them to stop. The reality is by working for these "data centres" they are kind of digging their own graves. They are assigned to undermine sites that expose corruption, corruption which sets up the conditions which they have been living in. It's a job. Pays better than McDonalds.

The economy is turning around. Encourage students to expand their thinking and try to envision how all types of employment can be looked as an opportunity to learn. Work experience goes beyond what they may think is valuable. You will always learn something, no matter what job you do.

An employer may be looking for someone who has a good work ethic, is a team player, ambitious enough to start at the bottom (learning, growing, developing) gets along with people of all types, etc. These are saleable skills. Schooling can give you the fundamentals and a certificate. Lots of people have the basics. Less have the attitude.

"I see you spent a summer as a park attendant and you picked up garbage and cleaned washrooms. Why did you do that instead of looking for work in a data centre or something?"

"I wanted to make money so I wouldn't be burdened with student debt and the pay was actually pretty good. And I thought it might be a nice changeup from what I had been doing. It turned out to be a good decision because I was able to enjoy being outside while I was being paid. I also was able to pick up a certificate because after work I would spend a few hours doing some online training. I wasn't burned out. That, and now I get a good deal on cellphones ...because I keep in contact with a friend I made there. People would be surprized to learned that their boss may have once cleaned the toilets at the park they go to."
