Circle of Trust

Trust is an interesting thing. How can you ever know it's there and how can you know that it will ever exist? In world of secrets what really is truth? We grow up being raised following a belief that may never actually be or that may not be soon. My personal favorite example is Pluto. For twelve years I was taught that Pluto was a planet...well, more so actually, but never the less. Out of no where a few people wearing their newly acquired pocket protectors with their transition glasses atop their heads or being fidgeted with in their as they debate that such a truth may actually have been a mistake all along. This also bring us to the atom of which was the smallest physical entity until they split it and oops, our mistake again.

It's in this simplicity of lies and false information that how can anyone believe what is said and what is put out there with the controls that exists and the sad simplicity o most people's minds there is no way they can comprehend the massive amounts of knowledge that actually exists.

I bring these thought forward because of the upcoming election. What information do we truly have of what it is these gentlemen intentions are? We have their word and that alone. The idea of the media is a joke as there have been many times stories and information take awhile to hit the news or somewhere one’s country’s news is another’s false information. Press TV, an Iraqi news source, has stated that 16 US soldiers have committed suicide. American soldiers. I sit here, after feeding the information to numerous democratic friends, knowing that such information will used to fuel their fire of the war in Iraq. No worries, they belonged to an airborne division that has not existed since the Second World War. Only problems arising from this news is the fact it’s an Iraqi news source posted in English, and quite bad English at that. Of course my latter reasoning may not be enough to implicate the fact this news is false and completely absurd but the now deleted information of the airborne division number, that only Middle Eastern countries’ news agencies have the story, and that there is no 57^th division over there should be enough proof this is false.

So what is truth? From this we can deduct that that 16 soldiers committed suicide. While that information has some possible standing, 16 at once? Technically the article says 21 but 5 were saved. Interesting how they get the word committed and attempted so confused. Truth is that this is enemy propaganda. How can we know this? Do we expect our news to truly be allowed to report anything? Considering this has hit the internet they have the ability to find and research it. The fact that there is still no news means this is not news. Do I need to make it clearer or are we still going to believe that this is more reason to pull out?

Do not mistake this as an ad for McCain, that simply to form an argument one must have facts; facts that do not solely pertain to information read in a newspaper or seen on TV. Then of course how can one form an argument when the only way to gain information is via the media? Simple, you obtain it through non media specialists. One way is first hand and if you cannot go there, try second hand if you happen to know someone. This is how knowledge is truly gained and it does not come from just reading books. The idea is to not believe everything fed to one simple by words but form an opinion about the information given then use said information along with more and combine a defined argument. Want to know what someone said; research for the full text and not just a snip it. Stop with the quotes and finish the sentence. The fact is that people do not take the time to care and learn and rather elaborate on the information that has no idea about. They go off repeating what may or may not be true but simply stating it as is and bringing nothing to the table with it.

I honestly could not care less who you vote for. That’s a lie but I’m sure you believed it for a second thinking that I just cared you vote. Honestly I rather you not if you could not sit down and type a page or even half a page as to why the person you voted for should be president with information not sited from CNN or TIME but rather a conclusive idea from that and other information that cannot easily be countered without another that did their homework.

Here’s a truth though to take through life. It’s a truth in any situation that can be used, as I did many a time to get ahead, is that in an argument the winner is not the last one talking but rather the one that knows the issue cannot develop any worth with whom they are speaking to. The problem maybe they do not know enough information or rather too much but none of is their own so the probability of getting any information out is already a null and void situation.

Yes, I took advantage of situations in which I knowingly convinced people that their thoughts and ideas are crap simply because they have no proof. While of course I have no proof either what-so-ever in my statements as mentioned before, the only way to gain an ounce of information is through deductive reasoning. Thank you Sherlock Holmes. It is this reasoning that I do not argue whether or not Iraq had WMDs but rather how the heck do you know? You have no idea as to what the government has and will be allowed to release. Has Watergate taught you nothing? Have the hundreds of other unknown conspiracies that existed and now proven true, since time has passed and it no longer matters, mean absolutely nothing. That perhaps there aren’t more? The shear fact that the Iraqi news released such information and if true has not any other main stream media, means the government truly can hold a gun to someone’s head and say, “Shut the f&%$ up about this or the trigger will be pulled.” Yes, I provided false information to tear apart anyone's information. That a simple story true or false still plays for me and against anyone else as I choose. I hate to say it but you’re wrong and I’m no more right than the direction…to your right. It is just I view the world for what it is and nothing more. I know. Other people believe. It is in this belief people will fail and in faith belief is not enough. Don’t let your life be based on the spoon fed media intel that continuously proves to be as correct as the atom being the smallest physical entity…until something else comes along.
