i think you will find it hard to get unbiased opinions here.  i will give you biased one.  i wish you knew me IRL.  i am not a crazy person.  just 6 months ago i was your average sheep.  i went to college, i started my own business, i have a steady job, i pay my bills etc etc.

we are fucked.  and i mean that in the most serious sense.  i am not joking.  we are way beyond feeling like we need to hold back or "stay level".

We have to make up for all the people who still have their eyes closed and fingers in their ears.  we have to carry the weight of a generation that does not understand what suffering is or how important freedom is.

You should not be worried about scaring people.  they should be scared.  the only thing you have to worry about is scaring them away.   try your hardest to present your information in the most logical fashion.  do not fall into party politics.  do not blame obama.

We need people to help wake up the revolution our WORLD so desperately needs.  this is the precipice.  there are three possible outcomes.  in order of likelyhood.

TPTB win.  They have been working on this for a hundred years and they are some of the smartest, richest most powerful people on the planet.

TPTB fuck up.  their plan is huge and complicated.  they are not infalible.  shit could go serious wrong and not in the good way.  they might kill everyone.

We evolve.  this will and can only happen through disaster.  people are going to die, a lot of them.  you might be one of them.  but your children, the children of the world might just be able to read about your sacrifice in history books if we try our HARDEST to reshape this corrupt world.

I just thought I would pose this question due to a little interaction I just had with another aussie, who seems to have taken a liking to me (hear the sarcasm there LOL)..

Alot of people on GLP seem to be using what seems to be the new catch phrase of "fear mongering".. well I would like to ask glpers:

What is fear mongering?..

Im going to repost something that was posted in one of my threads a while back which i think sums it up nicely, for me anyway.. (its only an opinion but its mine lol)

You say you live in the now.. and my spiritual self agrees with living in the now absolutely, but tomorrow I have to eat.. tomorrow I have to have water, food, shelter to ensure that tomorrow at 11am I can be LIVING in the now..

Do you not balance your accounts? Pay your bills? Buy groceries for next week?..

Living in the now is a completely misunderstood concept. It is supposed to reflect that in this moment you appreciate what you have and you give thanks for it and you enjoy it. It does not mean ignoring your needs for tomorrow.

I do not suggest that anyone should embrace fear.. fear is no good to you..

but action, knowledge and a determination to ensure the continuation of our species surely is an important trait to have as a human being ??

Fear is a primal instinct that alerts us when danger is present. Without it, humanity would never have made it this far.

There is a big difference between living in fear, vs. living in awareness.

When we live in awareness, we can gather data & use that info to be pro-active in order to organize our lives in a way that best suits our survival & happiness.

Danger exists currently for our survival & is therefore appropriate for us to gather data, plan & prepare, how we will deal or cope with this threat. This is living in awareness, no fear.

So whats the difference to you guys..

Is a tornado warning fear mongering?

Is a warning about anything fear mongering?

And if its not, then why do so many people use this new catch phrase when information is given to them that might help ensure their survival??
