Insanity
The worst thing about knowing all this, and being awake, is when you finally figure out what your friends and family members REALLY stand for. And who they really are. It can be crushing.
It's not about ideas, or political affiliations. You eventually will realize it goes much deeper than politics, or theory. I am waaaayyy past that. It is about good vs. evil. I can honestly say the closest I ever came to hate is when someone I have known for 20yrs, told me today... I am letting this stuff drive me insane.
What is insanity? Is this it? Am I insane or are they?
I had a friend tell me once that ten percent of the population is insane. Maybe, there is a monopoly overriding the minority and we are told otherwise. Because I believe it's the other way around, and that's pretty damn scary.
All because I said I believed in the freedom of choice when it comes to vaccinations. I am insane if I think that way. I am now insane because I step outside the box and showed my friend the other side. I realize that society no longer embraces people who think for themselves. Hive mentality it must be. I want out. I scream to get out. My friend is a conformist! I am now insane, because I know you can't have it both ways. I cannot be molded. I was born without flaws and I will not accept society's flaws. I damn well must break free of them. Because of all this, I am brandished insane. Now, not only am I brandished insane, I am forced to compromise with my convictions. My brain will have to betray my heart. I will have to pretend this is my friend. I'm not sure I can stomach it. I don't know what to say anymore. When I am pretending, will my friend know?
I am told time and time again, by family & friends to stop talking about this sh*t, stop worrying about it!! There is nothing you can do, just...STOP. It's so frustrating when you realize, after 20yrs of knowing someone, you really never knew them at all. It's almost a feeling of desperation mingled with despair. Especially, when you figure out some of your most loved family members love and depend on the nanny state to see them through the day. They have become like robots. They're simply programed to live in conformity and that's it, nothing more.
When you finally come to the realization you have become all alone in a room full of people you once knew. That's when it hits you like a ton of bricks. Because I bring these topics up from time to time, I remind people of the truth and push away, those people who don't want to know, the ones I care about. I could have ate nails, But, I wasn't prepared for that.
How do you go back? How do you stop? You can't. Because you don't want to live in their cages, there must be something wrong with you! I believe freedom is ingrained so deep in some, there is no way to go back. I was born a realist, and I will die one. It's one thing to fight an unknown enemy, but how do you prepare your heart for this?
Well 2bfree I know what you mean!
As to all the DP'ers who have posted here expressing these feelings. You are not alone. Most people don't want to discuss these things because it is as one of my co-workers said so "negative". It doesn't have to be that way they just don't want to be bothered with another possibility, especially not from our good old government "they care about us"! My father said I was crazy to think that we caused 9/11! Now I admit I don't know everything about 9/11 but there are enough things to raise some serious doubt and that requires some serious investigation, and once you know that something is seriously wrong you can't go back to the normal MSM explanation of things! The brainwashing is so subtle it makes me sick!!! The internet has exposed many inconsistencies in the MSM which you wouldn't normally get to see or for that matter never get to see, so naturally if that is all the info you get and believe of course they are going to think you are crazy or whatever because that is not the information that they got from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, etc. So that of course begs the question "How long has this been going on?" much longer than the internet has been around. I would say the internet has been the key device in the last ten years in waking people up! I hope that they won't control it as well...to be sure they are probably working on it. I know one thing for sure I cannot go back, especially after coming to this site. God bless you all...even the atheists. (If you're offended I don't care I'm not going to be politically correct and won't hide my beliefs just because you atheists are on here also. I respect your beliefs or the lack thereof and am glad that you question things and are freethinkers.)
Fear knocked on my door and Faith answered!
Thanks! I get the
"Negative" too. Alot. One family said, "I don't know how you manage to get out of bed, your so negative." You could hear the anger in her voice. Another male member of my family recently got so mad, when I mentioned we are slaves ( they started it )..He said, IM NOT A SLAVE!! yelling. lol, really. I had to use the ole soft approach on him since I was riding with them. I told him they steal our labor with fiat money and how they force us to pay taxes on our labor, thus making you a slave, and a slave never really owns anything the state can't take from us, I also told him how we didn't control them they controlled us, ( it's hard to fight the brainwashing of FAUX and John Hagee ) he went on to justifying land, where he proceeded to tell me that, if we didn't pay taxes, we couldn't drive down the street!!! blah, bah baaaaa. and then they thru in the ole romans crap, render unto ceasar what is his...you know.. I threw in the freemarket, a concept he had never heard of, or could grasp. I was afraid he was going to have a stroke, so I changed the subject. and I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. The latter made me cease the conversation. I have become like a seasoned salesman with a bad product nobody wants...the truth. Like the salesman I am getting use to the rejection.
I also think out of the box
I also think out of the box and I have been labeled a conspiracy theorist by my mother. I have learned to stick with the believable things that people can believe. I don't talk to people about 911, chemtrails, fema camps, or any other topic that is unfathomable by the masses of sheep. I stick with political corruption and the banking scam. I now have guys coming up to me asking me about stuff on the news and I tell them I researched it several days ago and then I put the NWO spin on it. I have the good fortune of being able to research news and crap 16 hours a day due to my job so I take in a lot like a sponge. I gave a co-worker the Obama deception yesterday and he watched half of it and he said it was scarry. We talked about the bildeburgers for a while and then talked about the coming world government. I let people open up to it and I don't cram it down their throats. I have also found out that back slidden christians are the easiest to talk to because they know about the one world government and the end times. I have a friend that is a super conspiracy theorist and he comes out with chem trails, vaccines, flouride, aliens, fema camps & everyone laughs at him and thinks he is off his rocker where I don't get any of the scorn he does. You need to pick Your battles and show the people the entrance to the rabbit hole and then ignite their curiosity so they will climb into the hole.

The insanity is
Talking about it constantly so that you can't live a normal life.
Your not insane for seeing the bad and problems.
However, concentrating completely on the negative and ignoring the good things in your life. (friends , family , ect) is driving the good in your life away..
And, that is insane..
Just back off and be more positive around your family and friends.
Right on!

My Dad always says
If your so displeased with the country why don't you just leave. It crushes me everytime.
Heard that alot in the late sixties...
early 70's...it was more like America. Love it or leave it. I choose to change it and change it we did. We ran off Nixon, stopped the draft and Vietnam just to name a few. Your Dad, is probably well meaning but, can't see the forest for the trees. Stick with it. Maybe he'll come around. Convince him to watch a Ron Paul video with you on the subject that he rails against the most.
Tell him it's not the country or the government
it's the criminals that have hijacked it.

If there was an
American type country somewhere, I probably would. But the elites have the world now. Every place is socialist.
As you said there is no
As you said there is no going back when once you got involved in this movement, but many are like you. I myself have went down this path as well as a more philosophical approach to life. The wiser I get about everything, the further I move apart from the average persons perspective on life.

((( hugs to you )))
Remember you are not alone........ there are many more of us who struggle w/the same things and yes....... it HURTS more by some than others but you are not insane. You are awake while most are sound asleep in the dark.
I love the wisdom of Jesus. He said and I paraphrase.... the majority is always wrong! I figured out a long time ago I would always be at odds with the majority. I can handle that, but like you said, the ones you love the most are the ones that cause the deepest hurt of all.
TRUTH leads to freedom and clairity. You couldn't go back even if you wanted to, neither could I. A quote attributed to Hitler is becoming more and more real to me. "It's good for the government that people do not think"
I feel your pain. There is no going back.

take things with a grain of salt
I mean live your life, go out side and ATV or go boating, fishing, do something fun outside, don't bring up all this truth stuff with your friends, it only hurts your relationship sometimes. Just Live your life. I'm not saying forget about everything but take things you hear and read with a grain of salt.

Huh?
What kind of advice is that? Go stick your head in the sand and let all else rot? It's best your relationships with idiots remain unmolested? Don't bring up this truth stuff? Huh? WTF?

what a great place to vent...no?
yeah.....i think we're all right there with yah.
fucked off.....isn't it.....
yeah, well......don't let it get you down.....not....completely.....down, that is.
after all......there's always worse...
and though i can't imagine anything worse than waking up to a nightmare...
i'm sure there's GOT TO BE something worse than this shizzle.
there's another crappy part to it that you didn't mention.
it's when you go for a day without getting the chance to talk about reality with someone and your brain gets a dose of what it was once like to not talk or think about it at all.
that's when you feel it.
that's when you want to cry out in shame for what people can do.
Yeah, I know.
That's when you feel it. I know exactly what you mean.
there has been an up side for me...
among all of the downs...
during the last primary campaign many people i know made fun of the fact that i so rabidly supported RP...
today, they don't feel the same...they see him every day in the msm...this man who they had never heard of and joked that he "only gets 4% of the vote" is now someone they listen to themselves...
if you are like many of us and stick to your guns you will soon find those who seem to be asking a few more questions, those who seem to want to "wake up"...
keep up the good work, you never know who wants to know what you know...then, they will ask and you will see another angry american just like you!
...and the r3volution grows thanks to your "will"...
O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!

well said
and I'm feeling your pain. this happened to me when I decided to homeschool. I am crushed that I have been judged so harshly by the people that say they love me. Live and let live! Live by example and teach them in the process. They will see!
"Ideas have consequences." Ron Paul

is the guts it takes to

Live by example & teach them in the process
I love that! It's very true. We all have to follow our own vision and bring forth that which is within each and every one of us individually!
Good for you for homeschooling. I did that years ago, everyone told me my kids needed socialization and that they would be limited in their futures ect ect and blaaah blaaah blaaah. They told me I needed to have them at the table with breakfast finished and books open by 7:30 am.
And so much more crap I don't even remember it.
Well my kids are grown and gone with children of their own now, one homeschools and the other does not. They are well adjusted, free thinking, creative & beautiful. No one cares more for your kids then you do.... that compensates for EVERYTHING!
Since you are a DPer it's a given, you are bright and have a thirst for truth. Who better than you??? You will know how best to lead them into places and subjects that are suited for them individually and the joy you will have when something in them sparks and they develop a hunger for education. Beyond ABC's and 123's that really is one of your greatest gifts to them.
Yep...the same thing has happened to me...
it is especially frustrating in light of some of my writings over the last 24 months...all of which I sent to my family members, and most of which, I also published here...
Jesus! People rolled their eyes at me as I counseled over and over to move 401k and retirement investments to cash and money markets and to seriously consider removing money from the banks and purchasing precious metals...long before the rise to their present levels. NOBODY in my family nor any of my friends listened! NOBODY! They all received a whiffle haircut from the markets.
Guess who is rolling his eyes now...and guess who hears over and over again that "You were right!". This is of course a small consolation for me. It is always "nice" to be right", but I'd rather have been wrong on this stuff.
Now it is happening again. I am once again warning them of the next wave down, and to again redeploy assets to the rear...and once again...no one is listening!
INSANITY!

Happened to me Christmas
I went back home for the Holidays. I did the best I could to warn the people I love the most of the upcoming dangers. At first I had a forum, because I had been so right about things to come in 2008, that my family seemed very interested. Through out most of the year, I had been patronised..but when the market collapse came last fall, I had a received a new respect. That was short lived. Maybe 2-3 days at best. Finally, I was asked point blank,"What are you s0o scared of? Do you think we are all stupid?".
I responded with the analogy of a enormous hurricane headed for the nation and of large enough size to forever change the way the Nation looked. I told them for a year, I had been dismissed as "Crazy". I pointed to the collapse of the market as just the outer bands of the storm that was approaching. I asked how much longer would they stand and watch, as the storm surge rolled in and the wind began to whip the trees? I told them I couldn't just sit back and watch and not warn them of the approaching storm. Finally, my kid sister and public school teacher, confronted me. She asked why I found it necessary to ruin Christmas with such talk. This was my biggest disapointment, the realisation that I was the only "Liberty Lover" in a family full of "Statist". That the ideas of the founding not only of the US, but Texas of all places, was little more than story book nastalgia for my family. I have not been back.
I know
I have lost all my respect for certain members of my family and certain friends now. This isn't just about lining things out and all this will just fade away. We see thru it. We all know. Just like you instinctively know who all the trolls are. You just know. It's much more than anything we have ever faced. This is about, life as we know it, or should I say...KNOW OF IT. We may be the last ones who understand and acknowledge freedom. We may be it. What happens when all memory of freedom is wiped away? What happens when we are all forced into the box and conformed into the collective mindset, tell me, will the slave ever know again he is a slave?
You aren't giving many specifics
You aren't giving many specifics above. What exactly is this "storm" that you talk about? Give us some details.
If you are saying things that Ron Paul and Peter Schiff have been saying, then I would say your family treated you unfairly. But if you are going off the handle with unwarranted exaggerations then your family was probably right to ask you to put a lid on it.

hey dude.....wave yer freak flag in your own face.
i can talk about 9/11 or economics or butterflies and my family takes it all the same - with the same amount of salt.
you're talking about people who have been brainwashed for a long ass time and no matter what you talk about - the truth of all situations has to be told.
no family that treats their loved one like this is treating them fairly.
my siblings - BOTH CHEM engineers - have repeatedly denied that there could be anything about 9/11 that was not explained by the official lie.
are going to tell me or anyone else here that it MATTERS what is being discussed when it has NOTHING to do with the person bringing the info to the table but rather the ears of those listening?
Exactly..Economics!
I discussed economic issues, the coming inflation..the extended depression...The theories in "Americas' Great Depression, by Rothbard" .
The US History of Bankers Holidays' and Gold Confiscations. The tyranical rule of FDR. Modern Banking and Credit. Things, that I thought were of text book credit. I come from a highly educated family. I thought, reason, logic and history from well accepted sources would fit the bill of creditability. I didn't discuss chemtrails, building 7 or Israel or any of those things, nor do I usually. I referenced our own family experiences from those before us who kept moldy money in jars, buried in their garages (due to lack of Banking trust). One final thing to add, I did alot more than just play Dr. Doom last Christmas. I went shooting w/ my brother in-law, shopping, and many other things. I thought I chose my moments well. My conclusion from the trip is simply this. My presence is sought after not for my company or knowledge, but to be background in the pictures.
"Usually"
--"I didn't discuss chemtrails, building 7 or Israel or any of those things, nor do I usually."
Not good enough. If you start talking about wacky theories at any time, it will discredit the other things you are talking about.
