From a comment on NCRenegade:

The UFO-story adherents think there have been ETs since Roswell, and maybe before. What kind of a “profound effect” on your life has it had?
On the other hand, right now, I am experiencing a profound negative effect from the struggles to distinguish truth from falsity. Daily. I am coping, but it’s exhausting. And the majority seems not to be coping, but rather caving in to the latest onslaught of bu…um… your know.
I am sorry the B word is banned here, because it is the only word that somewhat captures the malevolent insanity of what is going on. Using the word nonsense is a weak defensive weapon in comparison.

Here is my response. I write this for everyone who is overwhelmed by information overload.

1. There is no effect on my life concerning aliens other than to increase my disdain for the government and its manipulation of this information.
2. You need to consider how you gather information, grade and analyze it and whether it needs to be made into intelligence for possible action. Start here: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/money-laundering-regulations-compliance/mlr3c14000
3. I am not caving to anything or anyone. I know it is hard to sort through the information in a country where propaganda and surveillance are out of control. The more you evaluate information, the easier it gets. For example: do you believe any spokesman for the government? Do you believe anything Biden says? Can you use what they deny as a means to search out the real truth? Once you evaluate the source of information, it becomes easier to separate facts from lies. If you want a good starting point, use the war in Ukraine. The lies our government puts forth daily can be easily discounted.
4. I have been dealing with information overload for too long. I do not cave; I refine and develop better sources of information.
5. Profanity is banned on the site for a good reason: if you cannot express your opinions or arguments without resorting to profanity, you are letting your emotions take hold. We should remember Ayn Rand’s lesson: feelings are not a justification for actions.

From the link above concerning information/intelligence evaluation:

SOURCE EVALUATION

• A – Always reliable
• B – Mostly reliable
• C – Sometimes reliable
• D – Unreliable
• E – Untested source

INTELLIGENCE EVALUATION

• 1 – Known to be true without reservation
• 2- Known personally to source but not to officer
• 3 – Not personally known to source but corroborated
• 4 – Cannot be judged
• 5 – Suspected to be false or malicious

I find very little information in the West to be evaluated as A or B. As such, I do not spend much time reviewing or evaluating it into intelligence. The same method can be used for intelligence evaluation. One of the reasons I put more “stock” into Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck is that they document their opinions with facts which you can verify independently.

Once you develop this process, the time spent analyzing information and anxiety is greatly reduced.

Despite the Western sanctions, Russian oil companies boosted their gasoline exports by 37% between January and May compared to the same period in 2022, Russian daily Kommersant reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the data.

The Russian Energy Ministry last month asked oil companies to reduce their exports and raise supply on the domestic market, according to Kommersant’s sources.

After a sharp rise in wholesale gasoline prices in May and recommendations from the Energy Ministry to oil firms to curb exports, Russia’s daily gasoline exports in the first six days of June were four times lower than the levels at the end of May, Kommersant reports.

It is possible that both videos are correct. I am skeptical about the first one since it is released with a disclaimer that it is unverified. Looking at the Hal Turner video concerning Ukrainian ground losses in Belgorod, I believe that the West is losing the proxy war in Ukraine and Biden’s handlers have put our nation and people at risk. The consequences of this “risk” are not being seriously realized by the people in our country.

Pray for peace but prepare for war. This is good advice when your side is “good”. We are not the good side in this war.

A year ago progressive news outlets were calling the idea of the culture war a “right-wing conspiracy theory” that had no basis in reality.  Yet, the injection of far-left politics into entertainment media had already started years previous, with noticeable propaganda efforts in movies, streaming television, children’s shows and books, even commercial advertising was replete with progressive ideological imagery by 2016 onward.

The goal is relatively obvious – To erase competing ideals and viewpoints while saturating the market with only one political vision; a woke vision.  It’s called social engineering, and anyone who claims this is not happening in the US today is gaslighting.  

Strangely, the American comic book industry has become a major battleground in the culture war, with heroic symbols being increasingly erased or hijacked as vehicles for woke talking points.  A vast array of comic book characters are now race-swapped, converted to LGBT or they have had their histories rewritten to make them more “acceptable for modern audiences.”  At the same time, they promote everything from BLM, to climate change propaganda, to gender identity politics and anti-gun messaging.
