Context changes everything

Quote of the Day:

It took me about a year with Sandy Hook to come to grips with the fact that the whole thing was fake. I mean, I couldn’t believe it. I knew they jumped on it, used the crisis, hyped it up. But then I did deep research—and my gosh, it just pretty much didn’t happen.

  1. Quote of the Day.
    The quote of the day and Alex Jones did not mean anything to me so I took a look at ‘Sandy Hook’.
    Sometimes I feels that our society is doomed…

  2. History rhymes…

    “An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head.”
    ― Eric Hoffer, “The Stevedore Philosopher” awarded the Presidential Medal of and author of “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements”, in which Hoffer argued that the appeal of mass movements is interchangeable: in the Germany of the 1920s and the 1930s, for example, the Communists and National Socialists were ostensibly enemies, but sometimes enlisted each other’s members, since they competed for the same kind of marginalized, angry, frustrated people. For the “true believer,” Hoffer argues that particular beliefs are less important than escaping from the burden of the autonomous self.

  3. I grew up with Hoffer’s books in the house. My mother adored him as did I.

    “Far more crucial than what we know or do not know is what we do not want to know.”
    Eric Hoffer
