Stop the Sheeple

By John P. Smith

Reality Cheques Editor

I keep running into people who insist on calling those who have not yet "woken up" derogatory names like “sleepers”, “drones” and "sheeple."

In my opinion, this is not any different than calling an autistic child a retard or using a racial slur. It does nothing but create divisiveness and perpetuate hate and discontent. If one of the awakened chooses to call those who haven't turned the corner yet something that degrades and humiliates them, that is no different than what Black Lives Matter has done in society in general: They have chosen to segregate themselves. Let's just say it: As soon as they decided to put "Black" in front of "Lives Matter" they set themselves apart. If they really wanted to be treated like everyone else; they would not separate themselves from everyone else.

By the same token, one of the awakened referring to those who have not, will not, or cannot, see things as we do, as "sheeple" creates a division between us and them. It's not a happy difference either. Anyone who uses the "sheeple" word because they believe they know something that others don't is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

The use of that word to label someone, or some group, as mindless dumb animals being led to the slaughter works tells those who don’t necessarily agree with you exactly how you see them.  So, as one of the awakened, don't think you're better, know more, or have something that those who are still asleep don't have; you were once just like them. We all were.  Be thankful you’re awake; just don’t be an asshole about it.  Because, we still have to accept the possibility that we might be wrong. Afterall, how long were we wrong before we thought we had it right this time?

Which brings us to the question: What does it mean to be one of the awakened?

Does it mean we believe everything crazy thing we hear? No. That’s just silly. It means, we have opened our minds to new ideas, possibilities and avenues of thought that the “indoctrinated” may not yet entertain. We have come to the realization that mainstream media, especially television, is mind control and manipulation. We understand that everything the mainstream media says is typically a lie couched in the truth and almost always part of a larger agenda of control, coercion and commercialization.

Does it mean that we believe UFO's are driven by little green men? Of course not!

It does mean that rather than follow the mainstream narrative of ridicule and ostracization of believers, we look at the data and the facts and make our decision based on real information.

Does believing the attacks of 9/11/2001 were perpetuated by our government make us any less patriotic than those who would kill to protect that lie? No. What we want, as followers of the alternate narrative, is no different than what most American's want: Justice for those who were killed. I simply believe they were killed as part of a conspiratorial plot to engage us in more wars in the Middle East.

Why? Good question.

The point being, just because we see thing a bit differently, a bit more clearly, with more discernment and much more pessimism, doesn't make us better than anybody else.  It does not give us the right to ridicule anyone for not seeing things the way we do. That's what mainstream-media-indoctrinated liberals are here for, apparantly.

Then again, speaking of liberals, lest we find ourselves being too easily offended, The Daily Sheeple, an alternative online news source, uses the term as a self-depreciating joke for people who've already turned that corner. The people who regularly go there for news are no longer in that category.

No, we are labeled as Conspiracy Theorists.

And why not?  I am not bothered by that label and, I believe, it is coming full circle where we are now more considered as learned prognosticators and soothsayers rather than wild-eyed madmen babbling on about how the sky is falling.

Sure, we will continue to be called conspiracy nuts, tin-foil hat wearers, kool-aid drinkers and anything else they can think of to make them feel better about themselves.  At the end of the day, that's their problem. We, as investigators and researchers of the alternative narrative, have enough going on; we don't need to borrow trouble from people who just don't know any better. Or, for that matter, from people who do know better.

We should be part of the solution; not part of the problem.

Prognostications for 2017!

(Written 10 DEC 2016)

Amateur Prognosticator

• Both Hillary and Bill Clinton will have succumbed to a sudden-onset illness: Heart attack, fast-moving cancer, plane crash, automobile “accident.” (Those folks owe a lot of bad people a lot of money and favors they can no longer pay…)

• Obama will try to hang around D.C. manipulating policy until Trump’s people escort him off the premises.

• Donald Trump will create a new paradigm in Government-to-people communication by continuing to bypass biased and untrustworthy media.  He will take his messages directly to the people, driving another nail into the mainstream mass media coffin.

• Mass media and their owner/backers will attempt to forward legislation to prevent “Independent Journalists” from deploying news and opinion.

• The “Fake News” whining from mainstream media will come to a head when alternative news sources continue to point to the majority of “fake news” coming from establishment drones.

• As the primary mouthpiece for the Clintons -- CNN will cease to exist -- they have sold out and can no longer be trusted.

• Other media will begin to suffer the ill effects of having their viewers/readers/listeners figure out they’re lying to them.  By the end of the year 50-percent of the “trusted” talking heads on major networks will be out of jobs.  

• The Bush Family will try to stop a re-opening of the 9/11 attack investigation. Rudi Giuliani will step down as soon as the new 9/11 investigation is opened. (I already missed this one; he’s already sleeping it off somewhere: 12 DEC 16)

• Trump will push for truth in Climate Change until the media capitulates. Academia and those with a stake in climate change money making schemes will continue to push the agenda. The U.N. will finally admit that their report was a political quagmire of falsehood and profiteering.

• The “Cashless Society” will be a big issue. This is a mechanism of control and it will be pushed at us hard.  Trump will not be a player; this push originates from the U.N., central banks and world governments.

• Another mass shooting, probably in the D.C. area, will be stopped by citizens with firearms but will still result in a renewed cry from liberals to quell gun proliferation.
• Some militant liberal will attempt, and fail, to assassinate Trump.

• The economy will not crash. (I hope I’m right.)
• Aliens will not land. (I hope I’m wrong.)

Dakota Access Pipeline Research

The Dakota Access Pipeline: Some research…

First, ask yourself this question: Would rational adults subject themselves to being pepper sprayed, tasered and hosed down with water cannons in sub-freezing temperatures if they had agreed to allow the pipeline to cross their land?

Next, ask yourself why you haven’t seen both sides of this story on mainstream media, if you have seen anything at all.

This is a clear case of big business, big oil, bullying landowners, small governments and even the Federal Government to get what they want. Energy Transfer Partners, the huge conglomerate building the pipeline, has bought mercenaries and law enforcement agencies to push their agenda.  They have no problem using physical force on peaceful protesters.

Here are some good places to educated yourself on the situation in North Dakota.

369 News, an Independent journal, released a summation of the conflict in North Dakota.

http://369news.net/dakota-access-pipeline-protests/

The Standing Rock Tribe released a recording of one of the meetings were they told the representatives of the corporation they had serious issues with the pipeline route through their territory. (I have listened to this entire recording. It is mostly friendly discussion, but tribal leaders expressed their concerns clearly and specifically.)

http://standwithstandingrock.net/army-corp-closes-public-access-oceti-sakowin-camp-dec-5th/

Earth Justice, another independent journal, while definitely not exactly balanced in their coverage, has developed a timeline of the escalation of the crisis. The page here contains links to all the legal documents filed by both sides, including the lawsuit brought by the Dakota Pipeline conglomerate, Energy Access Partners, against the Federal Government basically telling them they require access and the government must grant it.

Below is a PAID ADVERTISEMENT on Google Search by the Dakota Access Pipeline conglomerate. (It is total propaganda.)

http://standingrockfactchecker.org/fact-checking-srst-claims-9-7-16/

Lastly, this is a pretty good article about how “Independent” journalists are viewed by law enforcement, especially when they’re telling the story from the perspective opposite the “official” view.

Now, go out and do your own research, form your own opinion and take action.

Trump in Transition:

Don't believe the lies of the mainstream media.

Here's something to keep in mind when reading the tripe from mainstream media.  I pulled this from an article by Allen B. West.  (Link below.)

As reported by the BBC, “Lithuania has warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin may test NATO in the weeks before Donald Trump becomes US president. Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said he was “very afraid” for the Baltics, as well as the Syrian city of Aleppo. Nowhere is the troubled transition of Donald Trump being watched more carefully than in the Baltic states."

Aside from the obvious fear-mongering, note that the BBC, like all the asshat media, has been very careful to point out, in subtle, but powerful phrasing, about the "troubled transition of Donald Trump..."

Remember: He's only having a "troubled transition" because they keep telling us that's what's happening. Remember how the lamestream media will lie when it suits their purposes. Bottom line: Don't believe them. We all should have learned better by now.

http://www.allenbwest.com/allen/time-get-real

To:                   All asshat media

From:                 Angry citizens

Subject:           You’re Fired!

            Donald Trump, president-elect of the United States appears to be angry like I am. He's taken to Twitter to call out biased and lying media when he sees it.  We should all do the same.
            Everyone should be disgusted with the asshat media in this country. The world, and the asshat media, are SHOCKED that Trump won!  Shocked, I say!  Because while clearly the American electoral system is intact, the news media is broken. They are shocked because they did everything they could do to hand the election to Hillary Clinton. Fortunately, enough Americans woke up and are on to their evil pandering.
The whole election appeared as a rigged, fraudulent Hillary Clinton win orchestrated from the top down with the entire establishment machine behind her. Trump won the election anyway. In an election year that likely would have seen record low voter turnout, the specter of Hillary Clinton that led to Trump’s victory has now given the people a reason to believe their vote actually matters again. The whole election delivers a severe blow to the corrupt system running this country.
            These sorry bastards tried to sell us a bullshit bill of goods in Hillary Clinton.  These morons worked their asses off to convince us that what we needed was a corrupt, evil, incompetent, treasonous politician. The fact that they tried, and almost succeeded, should be an eye-opener for everyone: These asshats are not on your side. They don't care a lick about you. They are a control mechanism. They are part of the political establishment and they will push the party line to exert more and more control and take more and more of your rights.
            Throughout the campaign, they covered for a treasonous candidate, and they fabricated and/or exaggerated anything they could dig up on Trump. I'd say they outright lied to about Trump. Once they "story" came out about his "treatment of women" they couldn't actually find a woman who would actually testify to his "assaults." They somehow dug up a recording of Trump from decades past talking about touching women. That was the best they could do.
              Even now that he's elected; they don't have a single good thing to say about him. They keep pushing their failed agenda of lies and deceit, hoping they'll get a chance to point an accusatory finger at Trump screaming, "See!  We told you!  We told you!"
These people worked around the clock helping the Democratic Party cover up the Clinton Conspiracies – all of them.  With everything she did -- from lying to Congress to rigging the Democratic National Convention -- they helped her cover it up. These dickheads refused to report anything negative on Clinton unless forced to do so by circumstances that would make them appear complicit.  Guess what, asshats!  You're found out! You're complicit in the cover-up and you should be ashamed.
              And now they’re in “shock” over the election results?  Ignorant assholes!  You should be awake now; this message is clear.  You lied to us over and over and over, and finally, most of us refused to believe you.  So, let me sum up my feelings about how the media worked so hard to sell us on this line of bullshit: Screw you!
              Some idiot on Twitter lamented: "Why aren’t all you conservatives whining about how the election is rigged now that Trump is winning?"  My answer: He won even though the election was rigged, dumbass.
              For all you idiots who are claiming “Trump isn’t my president!”  Or are protesting and destroying property, (probably your own neighborhood.)  You're collection of  mindless drones. On a positive note, now you know how we felt when you put the current asshat in the White House TWICE! So, put on your big people clothes, and take it just like we did -- standing up. Repeat after me, "We lost. We'll be grown ups and act like adults." Or, feel free to get the out.  Go!  Stop your whining and do something!  Don’t let the gate hit you in the ass on your way out!  What are you waiting for? A handout?  A ride?  Or, maybe, just shut up and let the rest of us get on with it.

Here's some of what the liberal media was publishing right after the election results:

"As the election results so clearly highlighted, America is a sharply divided country. Tuesday's election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States has been called many things - “unprecedented,” “shocking” and “stunning” among them." 

Ya think?

"'How do I explain this to my children?': Van Jones gives voice to the 'nightmare' some are feeling."

Try telling them the truth for change.  See how that works for you!

"Trump victory sparks angry protests across California: 'Not my president.'  The election of Donald Trump to the presidency sparked protests early Wednesday across California, drawing crowds to city streets and college campuses."

Well, dipshits, I have some news for you! If Trump is not your president; you're in the wrong country.

"LONDON - The world gasped in collective disbelief on Wednesday following the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race, with apprehensive allies seeking to put a brave face on a result they had dreaded and American adversaries exulting in ..."

All of you: Let that sink in.

"America woke up Wednesday to a new and unexpected reality - Donald J. Trump will be the next president of the United States. In a forceful rebuke to the political establishment, the Manhattan mogul and reality TV star was elected the 45th president ..."

"Forceful rebuke" is a good way to put that.

When this is Over

The pattern of corruption in the mainstream media is clear.

The bias for the Clinton campaign is blatant and unapologetic.

We all see it; Those who support it and those of us appalled by it.

When this is all over, we the people must call for the heads of the rat bastards who are lying to us through the media.

These people -- former journalists now political hacks -- have entered into an incestuous relationship with corrupt government officials to systematically purge the truth from the record based on their political viewpoints.

These pompous asshats believe they can tell us whatever they choose and we'll buy it. They're half right; about half the people either believe it or just don't care.

The rest of us are getting pissed. The editors, the newscasters, the journalists, the producers, the publishers and every last corrupt politician -- all of them -- must be called to account for what they have done and have tried to do in this election. They've taken their responsibility to report the truth in as unbiased fashion as possible and used it as a weapon of deception against us to advance their personal agendas.

They need to be brought down: Fire them all.

Voting out of Fear? You're Doing it Wrong

I vote what I believe.

I don't believe the retards who jacked everything up need to be left in power to fix it. They won't do that; they will not hold themselves or their cronies responsible. 

Trump is not a good alternative to the usual criminal politicians we see paraded before us for our support. No matter how much you want him to be otherwise, Trump is the GOP candidate.

We've been through this for decades. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Do you know why the Dems and the Reps fight so hard (work together!) to keep a third party out of the debates? Because most of us who actually think for ourselves have figured out who is at fault for the ridiculous state of our government: we are.

We ultimately put those people in there, and we let them take and take and take. I won't vote for the lesser evil -- that is still a vote for evil. Mostly, I won't vote for either of those people because we have a better choice: Gary Johnson.

Don't give me the "it's a vote for Hillary " bullshit, either. Its a vote for Johnson. I've voted Libertarian for the last 12 years; neither Trump nor Clinton ever had my vote. 

The problem, as I see it, is fear: Trump supporters vote for Trump because they are afraid. Clinton supporters vote for Clinton because they are afraid of Trump being president.

Every other person voting who doesn't want Hillary, is voting for Trump out of fear and vice versa.

My question: Do you attend church out of fear? Or out of Love? Why would you support something you don't really believe in because you're more afraid of something else? For example, say you're given a choice to attend a Catholic church or a Synagogue. You must choose one, because you're told to be afraid -- FEAR! -- of one faction getting too many supporters and running the school boards and dictating business practices. What do you choose? Who do you support? You MUST choose because you're told to BE AFRAID!

That really is a negative way to do things. Why would you even bother with either of those when what you really want to do is go to a Baptist church?

Voting for Trump because you're afraid of Hillary is not different; not is voting for Hillary because you're afraid Trump. You are letting your fear control you.

If everyone would vote what they actually want, not against what they're afraid of, things would actually change.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

This is often attributed to Ghandi. But, like many things on the internet, he never said it.  The closest verifiable remark we have from Gandhi is: “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.”

So what is he really trying to say? I believe Brian Morton of the New York Times hit it squarely on the head.

“Here, Gandhi is telling us that personal and social transformation go hand in hand, but there is no suggestion in his words that personal transformation is enough. In fact, for Gandhi, the struggle to bring about a better world involved not only stringent self-denial and rigorous adherence to the philosophy of nonviolence; it also involved a steady awareness that one person, alone, can’t change anything, an awareness that unjust authority can be overturned only by great numbers of people working together with discipline and persistence.”

This is what we’re here to talk about.  How we, as a group, can overturn unjust authority. The fact is, our Federal Government is out of control. As citizens and patriots, we have a responsibility, a duty even, to correct the course of runaway government.

Where do we begin?

• Writing Congressional representatives.
• Recruiting others.
• Being prepared to resist.
