“There will be wars, and rumors of wars”…and rumors ABOUT wars (as it turns out). As people of integrity, we want to tell the truth, but how do we TELL the truth from the lie. Passive listeners will absorb massive quantities of intentional and accidental distortions. Do you have the active life discipline of discernment necessary to filter the flood of information from the war zone?

Not sure if Bill ever read any books by Terry Goodkind but he said something very similar about Truth, “People will believe a lie because they want it to be true or they fear it is.” Along with that he also said “The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.”
I just slogged through a presentation (below) Lots of stuff to digest spoken by a man in a position to know…. would like your opinion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
The Broken Window fallacy. The other part of that is the owner of the window could have spent that money on something else as well.
Bill says we live in interesting times. Oh man. I wonder if he.ever heard of the Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times.”? Calm, boring times are a blessing, but interesting times are fully chaos and turmoil are a curse according to this. I can’t exactly disagree. It’s one of my favorite sayings. And minutes later Zoe talks about people who are the truth, but refuse to believe it. I have another saying I use they seem to think: “My mind is made up. Don’t confuse me with the facts.” We need to be open to new real facts, but careful about their veracity. More applicable sayings: “Minds are like parachutes. Worthless unless open”. “Trust, but verify.” We need to be wise, but willing to learn and change when needed.
Bio-weapons are illegal, but that has not stopped the DOD and Dr. Fauci to lie about the existence of bio-weapon labs. Are there 300+ bio-weapons lab around the world that we fund using taxpayer dollars? I hope Putin bombs the shit out of the bio-weapons labs in Ukraine and in other countries bordering Russian.
“The truth just is!” One of the most profound statements of fact.
