I'm happy to have my mind changed. However you (and just about everyone else) does EVERYTHING BUT that.
...
Most who come into the various discussions here
simply wish to provide food for thought in order to
encourage research with an open mind in pursuit
of Truth.
If any 'mind changing' is to take place it should only
occur as a result of extensive research which considers
all sides of the various controversies.
We do in our conversational exchanges indicate
how our own personal experiences have helped
to shape our individual mindsets to illustrate that
such experiences can be very powerful motivators.
In the final analysis a well grounded, well informed
person would take a position in any controversy only
after they'd found certain facts to be True according
to their own ability to objectively arrive at conclusions.
Unfortunately, in today's World the People are functioning
at less than ideal capability and are too easily swayed by
emotional appeals and too easily influenced by propaganda
which originates from sources they've been 'programmed'
to accept as authoritative.
Hence, our need to constantly evaluate food for thought in
an effort to acquire wisdom and understanding.
Then there are those 'others' who join in the conversations
just to push buttons and stir the pot. They do enjoy some
success in acquiring sympathizers who eagerly adopt their
point of view thinking it is the prevailing popular belief.
Many are very fearful of being labeled a 'conspiracy theorist'
and remain firmly imprisoned within their box of conformity.
Mind Control techniques are very effective with certain 'individuals'
which explains why governments and their controlled media
outlets make such extensive use of them. Much capital is invested
annually in programs designed to sway public opinion favorably
towards government folly. Deception is a very large part of those
programs.
So the question is: Will anyone change their mind about anything
as a result of objective research or will their minds be changed for
them by means of manipulative techniques?
Any who come across as being deeply entrenched in establishment
thinking or who defend the 'official story' with seemingly blind
obedience are always viewed with suspicion.
