I've been on this rock coming on 77 years. Once I entered the service in 1964 I found a different America than I had lived in to that point. Growing up on a farm in north central Indiana I was shielded, from out right lies, deception via omission, & and now what I call pointed agendas. It is a shame most living now will never know American life like I did, for those first 17 years.
Had it not been for the teachings in those first years, not sure what I would believe as,... Truth,... these days. The one teaching that was always pounded & stuck with me was,...Always Think For Yourself. As the years went by, expounding on that has always uncovered Psyop's being ran on a single person or group, for many different end games results. The reason they want the young mind is to flush what was, so as to install sleeper thoughts that can change ones direction, to further their agenda.
Always think for YOURSELF.
