An example. On Netflix "Downfall The Case Against Boeing" 

We are surrounded by liars. 

Another example https://www.dailysabah.com/environment/2018/08/05/national-geographic-admits-lying-to-its-readers-about-the-dying-polar-bear

 

Because of the lying and the lawyers involvement we are fighting a loosing battle.  

 

If you do some research, lying has become the norm.

Lying doesn't have a position. It has an agenda. It's the human condition. Romans 3:4 KJV

 

let God be true, but every man a liar; 

 

Every is without exception. Takes effort to be truthful ALWAYS and still we fail. :banghead:

 

Some people try very hard to resist lying and some embrace it for?

POWER> PROFIT>PRESTIGE. 

 

THAT is the point of the materials dyier2 references.

Sometimes today truths by experts are tomorrow’s lies. What makes them a lie is the person knowing the truth tells it. I could name a few recent examples. But we all know them even if some can’t see the forest from the trees.

Humans lie, it's our nature.  Doesn't change facts or verifiable truth.  Left, right, has nothing to do with human nature.  Why rule of law is only thing that has provided any fleeting peace on earth to date. 

 

Since many of us are being swayed by ideological disinformation without knowing all the facts lying is very effective.  

 

Commentary on any internet board like this one shows that it's effective.  

 

The Boeing debacle happened because the FAA gave aircraft builders and airlines control of regulation instead of US GOV regulating. A conservative idea to make the gears of commercial aviation work better. Same idea as trickle down economics.  

 

Works for a few for a while.  I flew professionally for 30+ years for a major carrier so I am speaking from experience. 

 

It's amazing to me that many attack the very government that tries to protect them but when corporations screw us we blame the government.  

 

In  combat it's called "target ID". 

 

The war for the latest generation had a lawyer on a sat-phone or other device to decide who to kill. When I fought we just killed and figured it out later. My point is most of Americans have never been in combat and the latest generation had their hands held to decide who to kill.  So politically a large portion of US citizens have been deceived and that amplified by digital communication.  From comments I see here and common now they decide to fratricide those who they believe are enemies when your target ID is wrong.   It's exactly what Russia has tried but in this case Ukrainians have beat them at their own game with truth because they are united and focused on truth.  I am glad because many Americans think their fellow Americans are the enemy.  Ukraine is doing our god given task of fighting lies right now and its kinetic.   Americans are misinformed ( mostly by choice because of bias) and mostly couch cowboys. Never served anything but themselves and $$.  

 

There's where lies and disinfo get us.

Trickle down does work. The Reagan area is a good example. Same as the Trump. A good example of too much government control was the Jimmy Carter area and 13 percent interest on my first house. I remember on the nightly news they would call it the pain index. One other example is now. We give up our oil independence and Russia prospers and invades. We moved from New Jersey to Texas 40 years ago because of constants on business and high taxes. My property taxes are still less than in New Jersey 40 years ago. Our business thrives here beyond our wildest expectations. I lived it on the business side. I know the difference between constraint and freedom. I lived in both.

I'm a right or wrong guy. 

We see things differently custom. I see Boeing changing from a safety mind set to a profit mode after the merger with McDonnell Douglas. That company killed over 300 people and got away with it. They got away with it due to lawyers in my opinion. 

This has happened before, the Pinto gas tanks for example. I was trying to point out that the masses are exploited for profit.

If anything needed government over site airlines would be it. Just like food. The people who do this job need to be well trained and paid to resist kick backs.

Weather man says, "It's raining". That's a report and not a useful one as I already know.

Weather man says, "It will rain in half an hour" that is a forecast. IF he is right it is both news and useful. 

Weather man says, "The rain today was caused by a iceberg that fell into the Mississippi due to mouse farts in landfills to close to the river." Is a guy with an agenda. Like a sick polar bears reason for being skinny. 

 

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. If I can't tell it is not worth my consideration. I don't have to digest information just because it's put out there.

We don’t disagree. The PEOPLE can change the problem of profit over truth and the citizen.

    • Done. I'll have more productive conversations with a hickory stump. Carry on! Keep the blindfolds on TIGHT!

    • I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.
    • WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

    • He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
