Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

LOL.  There is one particular RR crossing in Crestwood, KY, where 18-wheelers routinely get stuck despite a large, flashing sign:



I drove through there a while back and someone had put up a homemade sign on a wooden board that said, "Semi Trucks, Your GPS is WRONG!  Turn around!"  Of course, it was also ineffective, but I thought it was a great effort.

Life Hack: In Lieu Of Reading Book Of Revelation, Just Go Outside And Watch It Happen

Christian Living . Apr 21, 2025 · BabylonBee.com



Have you ever wished you could experience the Bible firsthand? Have you ever found the book of Revelation to be confusing and challenging to understand? A game-changing new life hack aims to solve both of these problems at the same time!

In lieu of sitting down to read one of the more enigmatic and symbolic imagery-filled books of the Bible, thousands of people are opting to just go outside and watch it happen right before their eyes. That's right, you too can watch events from the book of Revelation unfold in front of you just by stepping out of your house.

It isn't intelligence but rather an expert system based on communications say on the internet.
I don't believe in experts without a human putting their name on the line responsible person.

Certainly they will kill many.
