A Sad State of Affairs / Our Achilles Heal

A Sad State of Affairs / Our Achilles Heal

In light of recent events and because of this post from Atticus, ? if I fight with someone it's good to frighten them first, then you've already [diminished their] strength,? it occurred to me that, we in the alternative media community, have our own Achilles heal. There has been talk about finding the ?33?s? Achilles heal, but I believe we are getting ahead of ourselves. First, we should consider armoring ourselves.

The best tool to control the alternative media community stems from the suspicion and fear that is bred into it by its nature. When one is afraid ?you?ve already diminished their strength.?

Consider the possibility that the conflict we are now experiencing is being laughed at in victory by those who would see us fail. ?Yes! They mistrust one another! They?re doing it for us!?

?When people are kept in a state of fear, they will take very few risks, When people are kept in a state of fear, it causes distrust. Distrust causes division. Division reduces true potential of power. Lost potential of power, is the enemies way of strengthening themselves. This is exactly what has happened at Avalon. They struck her Achilles heal and brought her to her knees!? -Whitehaze

I am almost certain that in the past ?they? have planted the seeds for fear of the government, our health, our very survival, in our own forums. We are truly ?predictable prey? in that we latch onto these ideas and try to find comfort amongst ourselves after these very scary revelations. We are paralyzed by our fear. It is human nature to flee from pain at all costs. We seek pleasure, and ignoring action is less painful.

Now many among us are poised for action, and I applaud this. First, we should declare our courage! We should not give in to the paralysis of fear. Take away their means of controlling us.

With real intent,

All true it seems. Self espionage. The fear of succeeding displayed collectively and subconsciously. The fear of succeeding? you ask, Why not the fear of failure?
Well maybe.

We can be good at describing in intricate detail where something went wrong..what the fatal flaw in a sequence of events or an individual might be. Debriefing, dissecting.

The duality of the fear of failure and the fear of succeeding, creates a checklist. Fear may be too pervasive a word.
Though, "the acknowledgement and wariness to pitfalls leading to lesser outcomes" might be a bit vague.
The motivations for contribution are but a handful, even if the contributions can vary in content and colour.

We are not always able to communicate with 100% effective cognition to all.
The amount of distortion possible seems to go unnoticed by many... (unless this is a thing completely noticed by all and unnoticed by myself..which is obviously not the case )

...unnoticed by many maybe. But I think actually 'all' know what I am talking about. Because the use of distortion (fallacy, insinuation, innuendo) can be prevalent in posts that throw stones... OR plant positive seeds.
In my view, those presenting 'anything', would be aware of the likelihood of distortion. And ought in any manner possible, make attempts to pre-empt, clarify, and diffuse distortion. A disclaimer. This to me is basic. It is often unspoken. Is it too hard to speak of? Or is it simply known and accepted.

Both, and a third. Which might lead to a fourth. That being, when one knowingly presents themselves without a 'disclaimer' and seeks to still engage with conversation, while making full use of 'aloofness'. Proclaiming emotive half truths or opinions.. for good or bad. The fourth being, 'unconsciously' doing so. For good or bad.

Oh what a tangle we can watch grow, trying to unhook the odd thread here and there...and sometimes tangling up some other thing in doing so.

Why? because of the vested interest in the outcome, or the vested interest in self gratification. The self gratification aspect is anyone's own business to work through, not mine.
The vested interest in the outcome is related to the duality of the fear of success and failure. People putting the hand up to note to all a certain point on their checklist is awry. People making an attempt to rectify points on checklists. People doing so and in a way that is distorted by the anxiety of the point on the checklist being awry...which then appears to be a certain thing or behaviour...which is not favoured by anothers checklist...and perhaps rightly so if it was indeed how it appeared.


I would like to think that people might be able to follow this. Ideally I will be sounding silly saying so. This unspoken 'rule' we know of. Is what causes uproar when a person tries to subvert it. We are speechless perhaps, like can't find the right words, because the act of subverting such a 'rule' (of thumb) seems to defy logic...it must be malicious we think... Hey, true, but it can be part of our own distortion too. When things are good, everyone is a divine angelic voice. When things are bad, suspicions are, that everyone is a triple agent with the darkest of plots boiling away in a damp cave filled of rats and greeblies..

I now apologise for the extremely long post. Maybe it is an act of revenge in some peoples eyes. Perhaps I'm attempting to demoralise and possess you. Perhaps it is a sign of my emotional investment. Maybe this maybe that.

Questions are easy. They are more fun to ask as they lead to the world of the imagination.

Best not to go poking dragons... Unless you're fireproof, that is, then it's funny as hell, just not always for you.

Distrust causes division.

Yup it forces us to examine the agenda and decide if we want to follow it or not .In the end if i`m alone against all odds and everyone else . As long as I hold true to what i beleive to be right I`ve still won regardless of the outcome
