    With such a great analysis, I wanted to ask you,
    how could two people who visit this Board vote "Yes", They can be trusted.

    I lamented it to a person I message here on the board and that maybe we do need
    only "qualified" voters.
    This was the reply I thought pretty good.

    I agree with you about " they" and can't see why everyone else doesn't agree as well.

    Everybody should have to vote. That means the idiots would be leavened by the reluctant sensible people.



    Gotta love the last line re.: Idiots.

    Will the two people who voted "Yes" please contact me.
    I have some great investments for you. :)
    Everyone knows you can trust Moi.

    given the number of collectivist idjits here on the boards you should be more surprised that there were only two "yes" votes. it is in the nature of the collectivist to be dependent on "they" and to at least feign trust in authority. authority is, after all, the means with which they believe they can inflict their own desires on the rest of us. it's an idiotic belief, but it is all they have.​

    They can never be trusted. To have trust you must have accountability. Trust is earned not given. To earn trust you must be identified. A they group can never be pinned down. Therefore, they can not be held accountable. Therefore, they can never earn trust.

    Well -

    We know ex-CIA Chief John Brennan cannot be trusted.
    And more once trusted likely to be declared ;)
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...eks-yank-more-security-clearances/1019013002/

    How could we trust them then, but not now.
    Best to recognize they cannot be trusted.

    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    They are not "they".
    John Brennan is not they because we know who he is.
    "They" are anonymous but have many voices despite not having faces.

    Brennan quit being an individual and started being a they when he lied in order cover the lies and deeds of other theys. He entered the group of professional theys who divest themselves of all integrity in order to promote the theys.

    Not all liars are theys. Some people are just untrustworthy. However, many theys are machiavellian in their philosophies. In their world all is fair to achieve their ends. If an individual lies to aids the machiavellians achieve their goals or hide their agenda, then he becomes a they.

    That has been discussed.

    You either know who they are or you don't.
    Some have different views on they.
    Just read above



    Remember when they told you not to eat red meat? Or eggs?
    Remember all the times they said it would be an El Nino Winter or a La Nina one?
    Was it?

    Yesterday I heard on the News
    "They Say" not to try exit a building when feeling an earthquake.
    And the doorway is no longer recommended.
    Just lie flat.

    I Exit The Building.

    "They" cannot be trusted.

    Trust is a much misplaced concept. The only trust that really matters is trust in self. Do i trust myself to be able to handle whatever it is that "they" do or don't do?

    I don't have to trust "they", "them" or even "you". I trust me.

    Good call in exiting the building. Your trust was in the right place.

    Trust.

    I never believed Cholesterol in the mouth becomes Cholesterol in the blood.
    Did you @MississippiMud or other Boardies?


    Those that did believe it created a generation of obese, type II Diabetics.
    Consider how few did not believe it.
    How few knew, Cholesterol Theory and Rx was garbage?
    But, "they say", "scientists say" - they, they, etc. :rant:
    psst, it's the carbs eaten with fat. Fat alone aids excretion of cholesterol Old science.



    Moi :oldman:
    The Correct Answer Is: No!


    One time I lived in a 3 story building, lots of wood beams, Irvine, California
    on the bottom with large glass doors to lawn.
    The earthquake hit. Stronger than what we experienced here recently.
    When it stopped I came back inside as my friend yawned and said,
    "Hey did you feel the earthquake?"
    And then thanked me for getting outside without . . .
    I said, "someone has to tell them where to dig."

    It was in my friend's best interest, y'see.

    Probably a good choice for him .

    How far for him to get outside.
    And all that heavy hanging TV production stuff on the ceiling prone to sway and fall.


    There are some tall dormitories at UCLA and students hang a bell from the ceiling.
    But, how do you get out from the 20th floor? :pray: :pray: :pray:


    Here it involved a story of a restaurant crowd exiting the building quickly,
    no one was stampeded that "they" advised to stay put and lie flat.
    :rolleyes:
    Sure YOU do that to leave ME more room to get out!
    "They" cannot be Trusted!

    They have those bells in Japan.
    You’d think that if the tremor was strong enough to make a bell clapper ring, that it would be felt or seen.
    Twenty story buildings? Dunno.
    Is it better just to yell” every man for himself”

    Never paid much mind to Cholesterol. I know they used to say don't eat eggs. Now its eat eggs and don't eat the biscuits. Screw that nonsense i eat em both. A doc is good if you need one but i sure as hell don't want one telling me how to run my life. Part of our whole health care mess is we over use them. Thats another discussion.

    Quakes... many years back in San Diego I was on the 2nd floor of a hotel, bout 7am, woke from a dead sleep to the bed jumping up and down (i compared to that bed scene in the exorcist) and the overhead light swinging like mad, Jumped up bare ass naked and had my hand on the door knob when it stopped. Another second i was out the door and making the 12 foot or so jump to the ground. Once was enough for me

    In my dealings with them or anybody, never trust anybody always verify. That includes yourself.

    It's not anything I attribute to Regan, to me verifying means you don't trust.

    How about those - at the moment - 3 votes claiming Yes! "The Can Be Trusted" .

    Y'think we could sell them each 1/3rd interest in the Brooklyn Bridge?

    To That Pitiful Group of near 16% Who voted, "Yes".


    Witness how the candidacy of Tulsi Gabbard is given air time.

    Such as:
    Encouraging Presidential candidates not to seek contributions over impeachment.
    Being about :flagus: :salute: and not just . . .



    For :hippie: old timers, :oldman:
    she is the only "Peace Candidate". :peace:

    And we do seem to accumulate so many unnoticed deployments.
    My one disappointment with Trump is the failure to evacuate Afghanistan.
    The one credit I give Bill Clinton's presidency was willingness to evacuate Somalia.

    And "they" do not give Tulsi her fair share of "air time".
    No tin foil hat will save use from media censorship via choice of story
    as "they" decide.
