I was shopping today and as I was checking out, the clerk made a minor mistake. The minor mistake resulted in a lot of extra work for her and she had to call over her supervisor. They thanked me for being so patient and I joked with them a little. The ladies were in their twenties and very polite and charming. I assured them I was in no hurry. Nothing seemed to go right for them and they ended up having to call someone to fix the mistake. As all this was going on one of them mentioned something about her being into conspiracy theories. She mentioned that she spent a fair amount of time researching such things. I warned her not listen to Alex Jones or other alarmists.
They continued to attempt to fix the problem and it probably took from ten to fifteen minutes. Somehow time seems longer once you have already checked out and paid for your goods. Still, these things do happen and further rattling the sales clerk would only have made her job harder and increased the risk of further delays. I certainly not like having to face inpatient customers all day, being patient when mistakes occur is right and just makes sense and you get an opportunity to meet people. I got to meet these two young ladies and discover that they were trying to understand their world around them at a deeper level than most. I believe we should support these types of things. So, I gave them my blog address and some things to search online.
There are people out there who drive viewership by over-sensationalizing everything. When the Boston marathon bombing occurred there were immediately people posting on the internet that it was a "false flag" operation. The most famous "false flag" event is supposed to be when the German congress was burned down and it was blamed on a mentally disabled communist. It is claimed that Hitler set fire to the congress to blame "the enemy" and get more power. The truth is that the government has done such things; but, not every tragedy is a trick. It is not about distrusting government, it is about making an effort to understand how things work.
I wrote down the blog address and some things to search. I said they should search the IMF and "The Chicago Plan". The purpose was twofold. Firstly, I wanted to show them to search for source documents, read your opponents words in his own words. The second reason was to demonstrate the use of Boolean search techniques. The combing of seemingly unrelated things to find where there is a commonality. I have found that more and more people under 30 just type in their questions to search engines or their questions take a position on what they are searching. Of course there was also the obvious intent to have them see the actual plan for the coming currency collapse as published by the IMF.
My preference for my readers is that they always check out the articles that I link to so that they can question the validity of my sources that I base my later opinions on. Their take on the articles may be different than mine and I always enjoy comments posted on my blog.
Should either or both of the young ladies visit the site, I want to give them a brief summary of what I write about. Everything. The main interests, so far, have been the world economy, technology, pension fraud and spin in the media. Sometimes I just post songs or try and make sense of more personal issues, sometimes, I even talk about God. The blog is anonymous and to the vast majority, people who do not know me personally, I am also anonymous. This blog makes no money, will not make money and has never been for profit or made any money. The blog is written in little more than the time it takes to type it and I don't go back and check my punctuation or if I typed things correctly. The famous comedian, W.C. Fields was once asked if he was a Democrat or a Republican, he said neither, he said he was a drunkard. I don't have a party and am neither liberal nor conservative nor moderate. I consider myself a moderate extremists, the answer depends on the question and what the best solution is for all.
