Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Anybody here got a sharp axe?

I really should stay away from here, this place just makes me too angry. Stupidity and dishonesty are two of the worst things for making me angry, and there is an abundance of both here lately.

The dishonesty is in the videos and articles that get posted. Most of what is in them is shameless distortion of facts, and very often outright lies. The fact that they are dishonest is bad enough, but many are downright dangerous, or they would be if enough people believed them. To encourage people to ignore official rules and guidelines in the present situation is malicious. Encouraging people to act politically, prompted by lies and propaganda is malicious. Trying to frighten people into believing over religious fantasy with the threat of Hell and the Devil is malicious.

The stupidity is in the idiots who believe all this crap. They actually think they are being smart; can you believe that! They think they are one jump ahead of the government, the establishment, the mainstream media, the NWO. The morons are swallowing it all, hook, line and sinker. Who do they think is behind all this “truth” they are being given? What do they really know about these people who are “enlightening” them? What logical reason do they have to put even the slightest trust in them? Just because they are sceptical of officialdom, they seem to think that absolutely any information that confirms their suspicions must be the gospel truth, no matter how implausible or absurd it may be. They end up beating their chests and crowing about not being suckers, while all the while they are being exploited and manipulated by people far worse than their governments.

All this, on top of my having to go back to work on Tuesday, is simply too much.

If you don't trust what the government tells you, and you don't trust what the "establishment" says, that could be viewed as healthy skepticism. But if you then go on to believe what some dubious character on YouTube tells you, solely because it goes against the establishment, not only might you be throwing the baby out with the bath water, you could well end up in the drain with them.

And that is Mr. Wilson's piece of wisdom for today.

May the Devil be with you. He's not such a bad old fella.

Let's try and foster this kind of energy

What could possibly go wrong? Well, it seems these two groups get into conflict sometimes. In this case, apparently, a female named Cooper had her dog off lead, and a man, no relation, also named Cooper, asked her to place the dog on a leash, as required by law. He seemed much more civil than she, and she quickly began to scream, and to call police, saying a "black man" threatened to kill her. His only reply seemed to be, "please, call them", as he videoed away.
Things did settle down. No charges were filed. But the case could stand a little Vierk style, in depth ANALysis, oh my fellow CS dog watchers, and bird walkers. What can be seen here?
Well, this high strung female wound up on public broadcast media, "apologizing to Mr. Cooper and his family". But not before she was summarily fired from her job at a financial firm, which said that our firm can not tolerate racism in our employees. For his part, Mr. Cooper graciously said that this incident should not ruin her life.
Neat- O! Racism, and as likely, rank sexism. Right down my alley. But why go through a dreadful, dreary, tedious Vierk analysis of the interpersonal dynamics underLYING this event, much of which is captured on video and audio. The biased, race card obsessed media is all over it, using racial tropes galore, but without a whisper of the sexism involved.
Why subject you all to issues of female/male alleged differences in power, physical and otherwise, historical and present day? Or how slightly more females, statistically, suffer abuse, often from family members, mostly from men, but also from women (especially in same sex unions), and how this could influence perceptions and behaviors. This, where the full statistical picture includes abuse of children. Yes, and in the broader culture, with biased liberal input from the masters and mistresses of public education, how attitudes are formed. Attitudes that having things both ways, perhaps, are A-OK? And so much more. And so much more.
No, I'll simply ask fair and honest men if there might just also be plenty of sexism here in this story. And if they or others they know have ever been in similar straights to Central Park birder Mr. Cooper. Are frantic claims of "he threatened to kill me", often later admitted to be false, telling of much deeper issues? Do prosecutors, juries, police and judges ever hear false sides of stories? And is the shoe ever on the proverbial other foot? No need for a formal analysis, "just the facts, ma'am". Says Sargent Friday.
In men's groups, these themes come up all the time. As with racism, sexism thrives, in part, on many such attitudes, perceptions and behaviors. Can't make this stuff up.

All the situations in our community with cops and any other agencies that treat people wrong isn't right. It's really sad that you have to get a video if you want the truth to be exposed. How do those people sleep?

It seems like no one ask questions anymore or even want to know the truth. I said that because with all the abuse that goes on within prisons, with cops and other agencies its clear without video confirmation many people will keep on suffering.

All that matters is being on the side of hatefulness. Hateful people will follow a person's lie until that lie is exposed. It may sound corny but no one who has a good spirit world have stood by and let that happen.
What I mean to say is, not one of those offers took any action to stop their partners. So I say, weather a cop or a staff member in an agency. Please stop the madness because at some point in the future your turn is coming. (KARMA) Just like those officers, I don't think they believe they would be fried. But that's what happens when you have people who will support you for all the wrong reasons. You start to think you're untouchable until your KARMA is ready for you.

Another human being would have mentally noted, they are dealing with another human being who is not perfect. And like ourselves made mistakes a long the way. Therefore, no matter how else those officers responded, hurting or even killing that man would not have been a part of their agenda. I spent a lot of time in prison to know karma is real. And that's what keeps me hopeful while moving forward.

So how do we as human beings move forward again, I mean, how many more times must we continue to follow the order and examples of the people we know are leading us down the wrong path. Who else has to be video tapped dieing or video tapped being treated unfairly before we as a community put a stop to the hateful madness. LD

16 Old-Fashioned Solutions For Problems With The World Today
by REBECCA ENDICOTT

You know, when I was growing up, I never imagined I would ever really be an adult. Like Peter Pan, I had a hunch that maybe it was optional.

Of course, now that I’m here, looking back on that time, I can’t help but think (as all adults eventually do) that youth is wasted on the young.

Certainly, I didn’t take full advantage of it when I had the chance. And now it seems like every kid and young adult I see has his or her face buried in a smartphone—even this mom confessed to her addiction.

I think it’s about time we looked into our past for a few lessons on how to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

It’s not just nostalgia; if we returned to a time with fewer distractions, more time spent with the ones we love, and simpler pleasures, I think we would all reap the benefits.

Here’s how we did things, back in my day…

No, that isn’t a book by Jane Austen, but merely the subject of this blog.

I am not a Socialist, but I don’t consider that fact should deny me access to basic common decency, nor, indeed, common sense. There is quite a lot of anti-socialist sentiment here. The thought process seems to go something like this: If that is a socialist idea, it must, by definition, be bad. That is a stupid way to think. No ideological movement has a monopoly in good or bad ideas.

The vast majority of us live in societies. We have to implement socialist ideas for society to work. If you begrudge paying more into the system than you are getting back out of it, and you cannot bear the thought that someone else might be getting more out than they are putting in, then go and live in the middle of nowhere, on your own. Some people are all too ready to exploit the benefits of living in a society without having any willingness to contribute to it.

I’ve learnt so much about life from the blogs here; stuff I really needed to know but was blissfully ignorant of. I have always been very keen on knowing the truth, even when it hasn’t been what I have wanted to hear. I think the most shocking thing that I have been made aware of here, is that the main stream news is systematically withholding the truth and downright lying to us. That really knocked me for six, I can tell you. As a lifelong devotee of the BBC, I have always had complete faith in their accuracy and impartiality, and to find out what is really going on with them is devastating. It stops you in your tracks and makes you wonder who on earth you can trust. It put me into quite a state of depression for a while, I don’t mind admitting it, and I think I would still be in total despair now were it not for one glimmer of hope; one shinning beacon in the darkness. Thank God for YouTube. Thank God there are public spirited people out there risking everything to get the facts to us. The gratitude we owe them for revealing the truth that the mainstream media is trying to keep from us is beyond calculation.

Looking back on it, I should have known something was going on; the signs were there but I guess I just didn’t want to see them. It’s so obvious now; the way the BBC never even mentioned any of what Satan was getting up to, and not a peep about the imminent coming of the Lord to sort him out. Why did I never question it? The way they only showed Obama coming across as intelligent, civilised and statesmanlike should have set the alarm bells ringing. All those apparent qualities were a sure sign of his depravity, yet I completely missed it. The BBC let me believe that Bill Gates was just a very successful business man who puts some of his billions into philanthropic projects. If that isn’t the hallmark of a sinister character, I don’t know what is. Why I didn’t spot it at the time, I cannot explain. Now, thanks to YouTube, I know he is a threat to mankind. I don’t know what he wants to do to us all, but I know it’s something really terrible.

It is an absolute disgrace how my government has misled me into believing that the best way to avoid becoming infected by the virus is to stay at home, in isolation. My own common sense told me I should be out, mixing with other people, but no, I just foolishly trusted what I was being told. The mainstream media were simply a compliant mouthpiece for establishment lies, when they should have been exposing them. It was so naive of me to believe that my government would never stoop to the lengths of shutting down most of the country in order to achieve their ambition of having a gigantic hole in the economy.

So, thanks, BBC, for stabbing me in the back after all the years of loyalty I have given you. Well I have done with you, and all the rest of the mainstream media. You can all go and suck a fat lollipop, as far as I’m concerned.
