Why the War on Conspiracy Theories Is Bad Public Policy

Scientific evidence for the value of dissent is beautifully summarized in Charlan Nemeth’s In Defense of Troublemakers: The Power of Dissent in Life and Business (Basic Books, 2018). Nemeth, a psychology professor at UC-Berkeley, summarizes decades of research on group dynamics showing that groups that feature passionate, radical dissent deliberate better, reach better conclusions, and take better actions than those that do not—even when the dissenter is wrong.

Creating ADHD is the new education – That’s the goal

“There is a form of mind control that is really mind-chaos. It shatters the processes of thought into, at best, vaguely related fragments. There is no direction, no development, no progress along a line of reasoning. This is how you disable a person. You disrupt his ability to move from A to B to C. At that point, he becomes passive.

Because now we’re turning out kids who are essentially confused, badly schooled, drifting on the wind, lost in a mind-territory of fantasized entitlement. They aren’t androids ready to work on some non-existent assembly line. They’re just lost. They’re riddled with self-esteem that doesn’t work. They’re consumers looking for magic credit so they can buy their way into happiness. They’re loaded with sugar and other chemicals that scramble their synapses.

Today’s titans of tech and finance want to solve the world’s problems, as long as the solutions never, ever threaten their own wealth and power. By

Phi Beta Iota: Worth a careful read.  This is going to be the foundation for the presidential campaigns of the Independent and small party candidates in the USA in 2020. The two-party tyranny that has been the enabler of the Deep State and the Shadow Government and the looting of $43 trillion from the US public treasury (and hundreds of trillions from everyone else) is going DOWN.

Robert, obviously you have overcome a lot of obstacles to remain standing and to have developed #UNRIG. You have paid your dues in spades. It seems exceedingly clear to me that you could never have accomplished all this without God Almighty's help. Obviously He has His hand on your life and has raised you up.
