People or Sheeple On JFK and 'The Whole Mess'

[Bruce Clemens]

I'd like to spend some time talking about this in depth: "Most of the people we will encounter have to learn that they are oppressed, or have to be made to understand that oppression is coming." How? Where? With what tools (written, videos, audio, podcasts, pre-packaged documentaries -- there's a good library here -- )? Some of this is obvious: I guess what I'm asking for is some better understanding of how to approach and enroll someone into that discussion when they clearly are disinterested, unmotivated, zoned out, comfortable amongst the herd, or -- egads! -- involved or complicit.

I'd like to add an additional category of person, those preemptively in denial. Back when I first discovered the material on Jim Fetzer's great Scholars for 911 Truth site I approached an acquaintance whom I knew had an engineering background and whose intellegence I greatly respect. After we spoke a while about the things that that site brings out so well he got rather quiet and I could see him withdrawing. Then he looked at me and, almost in a whisper said "When I saw those buildings come down I knew it couldn't have been what the government was telling us. It is physically impossible for a black-smoke jet fuel fire to do that...but...I just can't allow myself to go there." His discomfort was palpable. We changed the subject and I have never brought it up with him again. As far as I know, he lives his life today just as if he never understood the truth. You can take some people to the precipice and they just can't look in.

I don't know what it takes to lead someone to their own realization and acceptance that everything they think about their world is upside down. It is a stage by stage process exactly like the five stages of grief. Your whole world paradigm has to die and a new one established.

Again my point about establishing resistance movements in populations who are already firmly repressed- that paradigm switch has already taken place and they are ready to do something.

In our case, I think the most sensible thing would be to strategize with people whose paradigm is already where it needs to be (like we are starting to do here) and try to establish an infrastructure within which to employ tactical moves when "mainstream" people's paradigms are forced to change. If they can't yet see the glaring events of 9/11 (for just one example) as the event it really was, maybe they will change their minds when the camps begin to fill...
