They way in which you describe these people is exactly how Ayn Rand describes people in her book Atlas Shrugged. I've read her others and they were great, I'm excited to finish this one so I can accurately say, who is John Galt.

I can honestly say I have not read her/him. But I will be adding it to my list of books to read. I am one, that has been reading the many books in the Bible. I feel guilty, now more than ever, if I read anything else. I once was an avid reader. I read so much, I could read 300 pages a night, lol. I used to consider them my nightly adventures. Loved it. But, now, I have a calling to read the many adventures of the Bible and I can't praise it enough. I consider it truth, facts, and unpolluted reading. I'm not a Bible thumper, and don't belong to a church, or fellowship. If I ever do join one, it would be a non - denominational. As I believe religion is a man made tradition. I choose a relationship instead. My point telling you this is, you mentioned I described exactly like how someone else describes people in a book and that makes me wonder if she reads the Bible as well.

The main theme in her books is a few good people fighting against a welfare state/communism and her philosophy called objectivism. The best part about it, liberals hate her books with a passion even though she is arguing against communism, not "liberals". But they must see themselves so strongly in the welfare state/communists that they only know they must hate it or admit to the coat of lies they cover themselves in.

Coming from the Spiritual side I can tell you that the innocence of half of America has been attacked subtley and gradually over the last 50 years. Recently not so subtlety (re Netflix and Disney). When this happens, the individuals wisdom and discretion (knowing right from wrong) or abilities of discrimination (Knowing what is True) are both compromised . Worse, If someone is sexually taken advantage of (especially if they are young) their personal power is compromised as well so they will then loose their independence and seek a handler or a master because their s sence of personal control or mastery is weakened. Does this make sence to everyone? They are literally enslaved by mind and spirit.

Engineer here trying to explain my colleague about the fake news. He always looks into MSM and argues. He thinks Avenatti is a hero. Couldn’t digest the fact how the MSM has dumbed down the sheeples. One thing I have seen is they don’t like Trump and they will accept any BS.only if the worlds population reduced to 10 percent with the new world order these people will realize what Trump is fighting against

I think there will always be a portion of the population that just doesn’t care. The problem is the media is propping up these people up and making them think they’re important and the majority. Most people use their intelligence to cover up their stupidity and nothing more.

And being an engineer myself, having a critical thinking mindset, and more open to environmental influences, that creates change. Rather, following a process of methodology. One would think your colleagues would be open to your suggestions. I wonder what is different with them? Are they engineer's as well.

I asked him directly.i even questioned where did you get your masters. He is like always arguing every news , recent Jamal kashoggi murder asking why US is still in deal with Saudi. I told him he is an asset of Muslim brotherhood. He doesn’t care because main stream doesn’t say so

How many people walk through this life missing out on God's beautiful creation because they're staring at a dumb little smartphone screen?

There's another good point! I'm adding it to my list. Thanks Patriot. Though, in my case, my smart phone has my king James Version Bible on it... It's like music for my ears and food for my soul 😅

I have to endure the Trump bashing/trashing in my workplace. I try to emulate the anons (I am no anon, just a lurker) and be selfless and quiet.

I've watched how members of my family react to tv. They get pulled in by stupid ridiculous commercials and can't pull away. They can't see the truth, there has to be subliminal methods being used. They get pissed off if I wake them out of their trance, like addiction problems.

Exactly! Subliminal. It's on top of the list. Thanks Patriot. I think the only way to combat it is Prayers. I'm praying for us all, relentlessly, LOL. That's my automatic comfort response. WWG1WGA

This is why the choice to KNOW will be yours. Some folks lack the critical thought processes needed to look at thing objectively and connect dots to a conclusion. When its all said and done, there will SILL be those individuals that will not accept it as fact...those are the 4%-6% that are lost forever we've been warned about. Lotsa folks! 6% of the US population above the age of 18 is still 7.5 Million people....lost forever.

And I keep my sanity knowing all this, by CHOOSING to follow The Way ~ Jesus Christ. I can't stress it enough. It's baffling to know that, so many people, will actually be lost forever. Heart breaking. But, it's their choice.
