Mostly, people\naccept as fact that which is in agreement with their beliefs. It is a rare\nperson indeed who objectively looks for info on both sides. Certainly not anyone\nin the current political madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, underneath the surface, a clearing of sorts is\noccurring. The real IS being separated from the fake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNah,\u201d you say. \u201cReality is perception, and that\u2019s different\nfor every person. Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, said that he could\nconvince anyone that a square is a circle if he repeated it often enough.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This argument has validity. Propaganda is based on the\nsimple truth that repetition, even of a blatant untruth, can be accepted as\nfact if enough people agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, propaganda is based in materialism, in the idea that people are pieces of meat, unintelligent ciphers that will simply absorb information. Those who promote propaganda are themselves materialists interested in a service-to-self paradigm. Their calculations are based on getting people emotionally excited and\/or stirring up opposition and hatred for their own benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, they simply cannot calculate for the\nunexpected\/unknown spiritual factor in a human being. This factor is present\neven in people who claim to be atheists, because inside the biology of every\nhuman is the God template. This higher template can be ignored, but will often show\nup during times of confusion or severe stress. The 2020 election is likely to\nbe very stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This spiritual\/higher self connection is ignored,\nnecessarily, in polling and surveying, be cause this invisible&nbsp; connection is not measurable. It is the\nvariable that results in \u201cwildcards,\u201d or unforeseen outcomes such as the election\nof Donald Trump in 2016 when the election of Hillary was supposedly a given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2020 election will be based on the perception of fake\nversus real. It\u2019s already happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kjmaclean.com\/Newsletters\/FakeTranny1.jpg\" alt=\"FakeTranny1.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Source: photo attribution unknown)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a pic of a trans woman confronting a binary woman.\nWhich one is fake and which one is real? Here is what one anonymous commenter\nposted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Observe his vaguely threatening stance and gesture; the difference in size between his massive skull and hers&#8230;.the remnants of what appear to be sideburns on the side of his face versus the woman\u2019s clear cheeks; the intense expression on his face versus the bewildered expression on hers, the sheer difference in size between their torsos \u2013 his is probably double the size of hers; his masculine profile with his chin jutting out and his longer face versus her rounder face. [The] assertion that&#8230;there is no meaningful difference between them makes for the most exquisite irony when their differences are juxtaposed so vividly. The contrast is almost divine. On the left is man\u2019s hubris, his desire to capture the beauty of nature and make it his own, his cerebral and conscious understanding of what it means to be what he thinks he is, his intentional \u201cbecoming.\u201d While on the right is nature, beautiful, effortless being. No doctor\u2019s appointments or hormones or surgeries, just an \u201cis\u201d that needs nothing added to it in order to be complete. He tries so hard and yet the harder he tries to \u201cbecome\u201d the further he takes himself away from the effortless \u201cis\u201d of the thing he wants to be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I post this not to make fun of anyone, but to show starkly\nthe difference between real and fake. There IS truth, but truth is not facts,\nfigures, statistics, opinions, or emotions. TRUTH is what appeals to the divine\nwithin each one of us. When we fail to appreciate what and who we are, we diverge\nfrom real and become fake. The object of life is the discovery of who we are,\nand the acceptance of our life path and our soul mission. That discovery goes\nbeyond the tawdry materialism of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who knows, maybe the life path of this guy is to balance the\nenergies of male and female; perhaps he feels the feminine energy and is doing\nall he can to make himself congruent with it. I applaud that, as long as it\ndoes not infringe on the rights of others to have their own beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Looking at a\nphotograph like this will inform you of what <em>you<\/em> consider to be real. I\u2019m all with the woman on the right, but an\nLGBTQ choral group I attend the concerts of has many trans people in it, and\nthey would identify with the person on the left. To each his own, but the\nessence of a person goes beyond the physical body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An assertion that two things are identical when they are not\nis a lie. It\u2019s fake, it\u2019s Orwellian. It\u2019s a diminution of the language and the\nstartling difference between what is real and what is fake. The guy on the left\nis not a woman, no matter how many cries of \u201ctransphobic\u201d are uttered. The\nassertion of something over and over is an attempt to propagandize; it is not\n(necessarily) a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I accept completely the fact that the person on the left believes he is a woman. But to say, \u201cIf you do not believe that the person on the left is a woman, then you are transphobic,\u201d I will not accept. &nbsp;For the simple reason that such an assertion, and the demand that I alter my own belief system, destroys my personal self-determinism and my integrity. No one has the right to demand that of another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person is free, as far as I\u2019m concerned, to assert that he or she is anything he or she wants to be, and to demand my tolerance of that assertion, but not to control my own thinking. Nevertheless, fascists, communists, nazis, dictators, lunatics, and other psychopaths have been doing this since humanity came out of the caves. The demand to control another\u2019s thinking is rooted in a terrible personal insecurity, and indicates mental, emotional, and\/or spiritual imbalance. Persons who demand that you change your beliefs to suit them NEED others to change in order to be happy, but this is an insufficiency within them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The need for others to change is a violation of their free\nwill, and denotes personal immaturity. Sorry to say, but a person\u2019s feelings and\nemotions are their responsibility. A person learns this after he or she (or they,\nif you are gender neutral) grows from adolescence into adulthood. If you never\nlearn this, you never learn any responsibility at all, for if you do not have\nsovereignty over your own emotions you cannot live a happy life. You can\u2019t be\nhappy if you constantly demand change from others but not yourself. It\u2019s pretty\nsimple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Now that I\u2019ve\ninsulted half the readers, I\u2019ll get back to the point of this article: The\nelection of 2020 is the most important in this country\u2019s history. We have to\ndecide, as voters, what kind of country we want: a country that recognizes personal\nresponsibility and personal freedom, or a fake country that demands adherence\nto a \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d line of thought. Will we become a country that\ncontinues to tolerate pedophilia, child abuse, satanism\/satanic ritual abuse, and\ncorruption?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the election next November, enough info will have\ncome out about the dark networks across this country to scare the shit out of\nyou. \n\nThen, all of us will have to decide what is truly real,\nand what is fake. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s the difference between fake and real?
