There is something about "conspiracies" that people love. I call it fuel for people who thrive on being "information merchants". They get the attention that they crave by knowing something we don't know. It's an exciting way to be more "popular". Of course, what they often seem to be is "pathetic".
This phenomena is not exclusive to people with evil intentions like MTG, etc. I have known otherwise kind and thoughtful people who have picked up on some bizarre hypothesis.
If you go back to the Kennedy assassination, the degree of whacky speculation took on a cult status - some were completely obsessed with one of the multiple ideas around the shooting. I can't say I really blame them. The whole episode never had a conclusive structure. But the conclusion jumping was way out of control. It continues to this day.
People simply love to speculate. And many love the idea of being the one to have the "answer". Me? I try to embrace "just the facts. ma'am".
Thanks, Bill. You're right about all of it. People need to feel important, and being in a small, elite group of humans who know "what's really going on" achieves that.
First of all, Marjorie never even got close to being as good looking as the woman in that picture. Then there is Donald's backwards hand, which I spotted immediately. Trouble is, there are some people who will be saying to themselves "i never knew one of Trumps' hand's were backwards" ( intentional use of lower case letter "i" and incorrect apostrophes). We have to start looking for the good in each other and what we have in common instead of dividing into two camps that despise and mistrust each other.
MTG is a bit of a conundrum for me. At some level I feel she is menacing, but the kind of “menacing” that would get her nowhere in any halfway sane society. I think I’ve more or less settled on the opinion that she’s smart enough to go for the main chance in life and was rewarded (a punishment for America) by having success enough to win a seat in government. And now she’s valuable by becoming such a reliable well of fund raising. Again, she saw a niche and ran with it.
So that makes her fairly smart and thus somewhat dangerous, perhaps very much so. At bottom though, there is a lot of trauma in her life. America’s trouble bubbles up so frequently in the stupefying characters it throws into the public eye.
My hope is that she will be soon recognized as better-suited for something like the late Jerry Springer’s show than the U.S Federal government, and will be tossed out of the public eye.
I am no fan of Marjorie Taylor-Green. But what she alluded to was a proposal by power co. PG&E from 2009, whereby solar panels attached to satellites in orbit would generate solar energy. That energy was to be transmitted to earth as microwaves, and then transformed into electricity. The experiment was supposed to start in 2014, the receiving station would be in Fresno, CA. However it did not happen in the US. Currently Germany is giving this way of generating energy a try.
Europe is far ahead of the USA on green/carbon neutral energy sources. I'm glad Germany decided to be less dependent on Russia for energy. Greene does deny using the phrase "Jewish space lasers." Maybe that's true, but the point I'm trying to make is that she (and all other) conspiracy theorist, ignorant hate-mongers should be banned from holding public office. Thanks for weighing in, Antoinette.
For decades already Germany has applied renewable energy. In 2019, almost half of the country’s electricity came from wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric sources. The bulk of the clean power came from onshore and offshore wind capacity (24.4%), followed by solar (9%) and biomass (8.7%), with the remainder stemming from hydropower.
Natural gas is a different story. Although more and more houses in W-Europe go gass-less.
Some of the rather stupid remarks made by politicians are often based on a smidgen of reality. Journalists should look for the smidgens and not start to opine all the time. (Just my opinion, LOL)
You say that "ignorant hate-mongers" should be banned from holding office. But that is a slippery slope. Who is going to define what is, who is going to make the decisions ? The US 1st Amendment guaranteeing Freedom of Opinion is a great thing.
Nowadays we have "social media" and these are not always a positive influence. People could/should exchange different ideas, but that is not what is happening. Existing ideas are strengthened. I am appalled by some of the Substacks, especially the comments sections. I had no idea so many people in the US believe so many outrageous things. It is scary. It is like a peat fire, you do not see it but it is burning and destroying all the same.
In my next essay, I will argue that military and police applicants must pass psychological screenings before they are allowed to serve in those roles. And since the authority enforcers technically answer to the politicians, the politicians should be held to the exact same standard.
Social media is poisoning our cultural foundations, but it also shows us our own human condition, including the ugly bits. Thank you for sharing your opinion here. I appreciate your frank approach.
Wow, another favorite topic. On top of that they should be better trained and regularly evaluated. They should be paid enough for their job but not be allowed side-gigs like security, etc.
But their superiors should be held to even higher standards. In the trial against Chauvin etc. where were the superiors who kept him on the streets after several serious complaints ? Why were they not in the dock, they were guilty too IMO. And how could the other officers not know that when you obstruct someones's diaphragm, they cannot breathe properly anymore.
Also, nowadays police officers are the last resort when it comes to people with mental issues. They should not be.
OK, I will stop do not want to hog your comments section.
Andrew Carrington Hitchcock wrote a book published in 2007, revised in 2018, that seems to rhyme with the Protocols. This can't possibly be coincidence. But labeling it "hate speech" will discourage some, who don't want to know the truth of the matter. Ignorance is bliss. Truth has the capacity to spoil one's Pollyanna style world view. Some don't like their illusions destroyed.
I think "truth" became "hate speech" around the same time the Holocaust narrative became a thing, and the lies about the Holocaust had to be defended. Laws have been enacted in 19 states to criminalize Holocaust denial. Even simply raising the "6 million" question has landed some in jail.
Truth does not fear investigation. But it may cause you to have to defend it in court at huge expense.
And then we have the The Oera Linda Book. Is that a fake too?
"Watch out, because hate eats the hater as often as it eats the ones being hated." Does this also apply to Jews hatred of the goyim? I assume you are familiar with the Talmud, are you not? In fact the Talmud is most probably your words to live by.
Anybody that follows this channel that is not a Jew should know that Jews think of them as goyim. I suggest you read the Talmud. It will open your eyes to the deception. And then read The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Penfist will likely claim that I am a "conspiracy theorist." I say, do your own research and think for yourself. If you read the "Protocols," written over 100 years ago, and compare them to the world we live in today, you can't help but see the connections.
Stop trying to peddle hate. If you continue doing so here, I will ban you. The "Protocols" is a fraud and a fake. That has been well known since 1935. You are not a professional researcher, you've been conned by snake oil salespeople and mind poisoners. Watch out, because hate eats the hater as often as it eats the ones being hated.
But if we started eliminating Congresspersons based on their intellectual shortcomings from an already low baseline, we'd be down to about 14, and constantly having elections.

You are always welcome to leave as much feedback as you like. I am enjoying it. So many societal issues to be explored and improved!
Thank you !
If the Protocols are fake, the odds of real life events playing out parallel to a "fake book" are like a trillion to one.

"Participating in reality." Who's reality is that may I ask? That is laughable.
I haven't paid much attention to Maxine. Where would I start?
(Sorry for the earlier snark).
But if we started eliminating Congresspersons based on their intellectual shortcomings from an already low baseline, we'd be down to about 14, and constantly having elections.
That would be fine with me. I'd like higher standards all around.
The problem is power attracts both those with money as well as the sociopaths who just love power.
Want a better class of people? Take the power out of DC.
