Welcome to the group that seeks to "smash" the illusions put forth by media, academia, and the various other organs of disinformation! It is here where we discuss the REAL issues and the hidden problems masked over by the propaganda, and ignored by the 'media'.

The problems of today's world are easily explained once we learn to look past the illusions and the propaganda, presented to us as 'truth', and see the whole truth. In this group, there is NO SUCH THING AS TABOO subject matter. Just good, clean, thoughtful, rational examination and discussion. If there are those whose sensibilities are easily "offended" by the open-examination of the fallacies of these political times, then maybe this group is not for you! For those who wish to really dig deeply into the falsehoods and the "smoke-and-mirrors" that may cloud the understanding of the truth, you are here!

BYLAWS OF REASON AND CIVILITY :::

Please be curteous to one another. Name-calling and character-assassinations are not welcome here!

Intelligent Debate always wins over MORE than loud argument does! Please make your point clearly, and with distinction.

Everyone has a right to hold a belief and/or view. Please be respectful that all are entitled to the right to hold a belief just as you are!

Please use a "civil tongue". This group is kept open so that all may view its contents, minors included. Let's help keep it clean of the "colorful" language so that all may have a chance to learn from this group.

Please don't use "all caps" in your post. The use of all-caps should be limited to those points you wish to accent and call attention to, otherwise, you are just "YELLING"!

You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. If you are thoughtful and open-minded in your comments, you are more likely to gain the respect and credibility that you believe you deserve. Being brash and aggressive with others may only "turn them off", instead of getting their attention to what you are stating!

Please, let's not get into anything that will rightfully attract the attention of 'law enforcement'. We don't need to have lawsuits and/or criminal complaints being instigated over the most foolish posts and/or comments. The Gather folks would appreciate this also!

If you are commenting on a post, please try to stay on the point of the posting. Other, unrelated commentary make it very difficult for someone new to follow the discussion.

All abusive commentary will be DELETED, without question! If you are involved in a second abusive post, I will remove your membership from this group!
