Amazing Polly: I'm Awake in a Zombie World - The Great Awakening, Walk Away, Q anon

[Disclaimer:See my comment below. ~PB]
I'm Awake in a Zombie World - The Great Awakening, Walk Away, Q anon

So you've escaped the False Narrative only to find it's impossible to rescue anyone else. Now what?


"When I look out at what is happening, It's the same thing that happens within our families, when the Scapegoat speaks the Truth, in front of the Enablers and the Golden Child and the Narcissist... It's the same thing that's happening out in the wider world, that the Narcissist and all the people benefiting from the False Narrative...they're spinning out, they're losing it, because their whole identity is built on the False Narrative."

My YouTube comment to Polly:

Very well-spoken, Polly! I found you when your response to "Q - The Plan to Save the World" went viral. I can really relate to what you say in the video above. I've always been a Truther and what I call a "Conspiracy Factualist", but in the last year, went from being a lifelong, Far Left Liberal to an Independent, embracing neither extreme fully, in my quest for Truth. So the labels I don't identify with that have been slung at me include "Crazy" (Why? because I see the bigger picture and connect the dots?); "Conspiracy Theorist" (uttered with a tone of disgust, as if one was referring to child molesters..I only seek to out Truth!); "Whistle-blower" (I think that's a euphemism for a True Patriot); "Trumpster" (I'm not, but I see that he is a shrewd card player, and never puts them all on the table.); "Out of Touch" (Really? Than how come you never even HEARD of QANON?); "Uninformed" (Hardly, I'm an Old School Truther since before 9/11), and even last night, a good friend told me that I "need to wake up and see what's right in front of" me. (Funny, I thought the same about him!).

While I find it distressing to be judged and erroneously labeled, I find myself placating people's zealous assertions and wrong assumptions made about me, just because I have a different, but not opposite, opinion than they do. In fact, we tend to agree on many points, but not as much not on our approach to handling them. True, I have more friends now than before that are GOP-leaning, as well as the many, many that are Liberal Democrats who tolerate my "seeing both sides" perspective. I have to remind them that I was an inspired Bernie Supporter who wanted to Make America Kind Again. had the DNC not messed with the DNC vote, we might have had a different outcome, and that explains why a well-known and highly accurate psychic I know on FB changed her prediction from Bernie winning to Trump, before it happened.

But there are always some friends that exclude me from group activities or cut me off altogether, because of what THEY believe are my beliefs, due to their allegiance to dogma, IMHO, or getting stuck in what I call the "Opposition Defiance Disorder", so blinded by sheer hate and intolerance...ironically the very behavior they accuse others of displaying. That hatred was a BIG part of why I chose to #WALKAWAY last year, and even re-registered to vote as an Independent. They either want to ignore me or argue. (What happened to live and let live? I don't choose friends based on their adherence to my own views!) As I said to my friend, "Why are you yelling at me? You act like I disagree with you, or like I am some kind of monster who believes things I don't!" He apologized and calmed down, and we agreed to disagree on the finer points.

However, I worry that even if we learn the whole Truth, supported by irrefutable documentation, some will still disbelieve, because that would mean
1. admitting they might be wrong and/or
2. changing one's pre-set, lifelong ideology/belief system.
-and those are painful process to go through. This, I know.

Even if the Q phenomenon turns out to be a Psy-op, it has now taken on a life of it's own, and is more about #WeThePeople

#FeelThePain #WWG1WGALL #TheGreatAwakening

(Apologies for the long reply, but you inspired me!)

Added:

The New Age Mystic in me wants to explain it all as a split into two different worlds...not a civil war, but a vibrational split between 2 different dimensions, where we are co-creating our own realities, which currently still overlap.

Conspiracy Theories a Sign of Sane Thinking Study Shows Added by Kristi Cereska

Conspiracy Theories 

Conspiracy Theories


Conspiracy theories cannot be countered as rhetoric or nonsense anymore, according to a new study which shows that looking at things from all sides is a sign of sanity. When it comes to the psychology of those that can accept or reject theories that may not be popular, it seems they are a step above those that will reject any theory except their own outright. Those who believe they are simply seeking the truth are sometimes labeled in today’s society as a tinfoil hat-wearing nutso.

The study, conducted on a news site, and a poll of those that commented was the basis for the study, which had as a topic, 9/11. There were over 2,000 comments and over 1,400 of them were labeled as being conspiracies, while just over 700 were labeled conventionalist. What this shows is that many more people are looking at issues critically and in-depth instead of just outright disputing them. It also showed that although the conspiracy theories group would argue against other’s views, they used less negative comments and strictly focused on the issue and what happened. The conventional people would argue, trying to push their own views on others in a far more hostile and argumentative manner.

People today will not accept that their views could be considered conspiracy theories because of the negative connotations associated with that term. Many believe that the phrase goes back to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the document that ultimately came out, which directed media on how to cover the story and how to handle those that did not believe what the government’s official stance was. This document, the CIA Instructions to Media Assets, was supposed to be destroyed when it was no longer needed, but a copy resides in the Real History Archives. Among other things, the document stated how to handle critics and how to deflect questions from those critics.

This document goes on to use the term conspiracy, and that those disputing the governments truths were weak-minded, and that these people were using “irresponsible speculation” and that they focused on things that were impossible to dispute. This document even speaks directly of the assassination stating that conspiracy theories as large as some of the critics were talking about would be impossible to pull off.

The new study shows that the more one rejects ideas outright, the more aggressive they are in their views. They do not want to see beyond their own beliefs, or expand their thinking. Those that are labeled as conspiracy theorists are those that hope to open minds up to other possibilities, without forcing their beliefs on others. Pushing the barriers of long-held belief systems is not a bad thing; it is a way to open the mind, expand perceptions and seek the truth.

Many do not believe it wrong to look beyond the printed word and seek the truth. Many others do not want the pot stirred, and want to keep the long-held belief systems in their views of the government, media and the world.  Independent studies will not change those that will argue with anyone that does not hold the same beliefs, but it may just take the stigma out of reading and discussing all those conspiracy theories.
