[JanusFIN]

What is so hostile in truth?

This is a good question, why people wants to deny all the shown evidence from 9/11 witch shows that official story from the event is total hoax...

People are lazy - research, thinking, and facing the truth are time consuming and can be emotionally upsetting. Maintaining the staus-quo is very important. This mindset has been in the making for many years through the schools, media, and the fact that many Americans do all they can to merely survive and are physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.

Unfortunately this seems to play into the arguement of the elite that common people are ignorant and need to be lead like sheep. The NWO has been successful up to this point for a reason. We the bulk of mankind ever wake up?

Whether the NWO likes it or not, they can never win. Why? Because they require someone to rule to have any position of power to begin with. If they ever pulled off the massive depopulation they seek, they'll have inherited an empty world with no meaning.

P.S. Yes, people cover their ears and scream if you try talking about how things work, why they are wrong or ignorant on a subject, etc. People have become whiny little bitches.

I really think that people care too much about what others will think of them.

They think, wait, what you are saying is what the crazy people say, and I dont want to be labeled crazy, so I wont even go there.

They stop pursuing the knowledge once they deem that it is venturing into crazy land.

I have tried bring up various subjects, and as soon as I mention enough to where they realize what I am talking about, everyone around starts to either laugh or interrupt me, or walk away, or change the subject, or call me a conspiracy theorist, and they do this with no research of their own. They do not look at the facts, the news propagates this view, and the sheeple filter it into society.

Taking off on a tangent here, with the "Dumb and Dumber" title of the OP, I wonder how hard it would be to put together a photograph of Hillary, Obama and McCain captioned "Dumb, Dumber and Dumberest"?
