What we know is not important. It is what we don't know.
If people stopped fighting the people and sat together to really study, really objectively, what is on the table, we would find it extraordinary how much people would actually learn outside of the combined fields of experience. People, when they are free to speak, can say a lot more than thoughts would have allowed them to say. It is because people do not feel free to speak, because they feel judged by the memory of the race, by the consciousness of the race, that they enclose themselves within the limit of what is correct to say, so they adopt a stance acceptable by this or that large group of ideologists.
There is not a single ideology on this planet that will stand the test of time. Not one. They are all contributions to human devolution.
If there was really love on this planet, as much as the spoken word could be sharp as a razor blade, it would never be a destructive act on the person.
Destructive acts on the person, character assassination, all that sort of things, are directly part of the manipulations of hidden forces that want conflict to perpetuate. So long as conflict perpetuate within the mind, it will be projected onto others.

Some excellent points. To discuss what Alex Jones says and who he is is critical to our discussion here, as we are trying to discern the truth, even as we are being coralled into false paths by any number of people. Yes, Alex has enlightened people about certain things, but has he merely hijacked a movement and lead it to a safe, dead end place that places blame on people and not a system and keeps the Vatican safe from scrutiny. I'm not sure.
And no ideology could withstand the test of time - if by time, you mean eternity. But some ideologies are evolutionary and others reactionary. We can't get there from here in one giant leap. The only question is whether or not an ideology promotes growth and expansion (i.e., the compassionate God of the New Testament v. the fiery vengeful God of the Old Testament) on both the intellectual, emotional and practial levels. One needs an ideology to try and make sense of the world. One of the problems now is that the current ideologies are so backward and unable to explain reality or help us out of our predicament. I sense we are all grasping to identify and create a new ideology on this forum and in so doing, we need to constantly evaluate the sources of our information or, as the case may be, disinformation.
