distorted and blown out of proportion. And then the enemy can basically dress it up and take it out dancing and blur it into a greater whole that they can manipulate to the negative in the public perception.

Unfortunately, it’s all PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT.

ALL of it. And the legions who aren’t paying attention or aren’t keeping close track - they’re the most easily and readily caught. Like fish swimming near the surface who can just be swooped up in a net.

And what you NEVER want to do is give the bad guys an opening!!!!! Don’t feed the hungry beast over there on the Dark Side!!!

I’ve spent a LOT of time recently, observing and meditation on the whole idea of “reasonable doubt” - manipulation of the public perception for devious reasons, muddying the waters, clouding the issue, raising mostly stupid and nonsensical questions, blurring the facts, and dumbing down the public mindset. The bad guys (and it’s mainly and mostly on the CON side) have been working this for decades, in thought, word, and deed. They’ve raised it to a VERY fine art by now, and they know all the tricks. And they NEVER hesitate to use as many of ‘em as they can get away with doing.

Which is why WE ALL need to be hyper-aware of their tricks. Forewarned IS INDEED fore-armed, and far more resistant to these mental “viruses” the CONS are always trying to spread like the ultimate social disease. (HAH! The ultimate SOCIAL disease, you might say!)

The more WE know and are aware of, the better for us, and the worse for them. Certainly in this regard, the best offense is a good defense.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
