Name calling

Current Events have been designed to tax everyone and can easily be accurately described as a psychological military operation on the entire worlds population. Yes, I certainly can understand why people have no idea what is real, and are having mental breakdowns when facing the hard truths of the current events within society. The Current Situation we find ourselves in is like believing all your life that humans are the top of the food chain and then discovering that is not so and that something hiding in the shadows finds humans the perfect food.

The famous line “YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH” is very understandable in this situation. I will give you this warning when people can’t handle the truth they freak out in a number of very predictable ways. If People had more time to assimilate their situation, slowly over time everyone would come to the  same understanding, but not all at once. The old saying is “Men go crazy in groups and only wake up from the insanity one at a time ands slowly.

I found this article on Situation Awareness Matters for Emergency First Responders and It Always does. https://www.samatters.com/cant-handle-truth-2/ Highlights below:

—————————- Situation Awareness Matters —————————-

If you have attended one of my new Mental Management of Emergencies programs you have learned how stress is a game-changer when it comes to firefighter situational awareness and decision making quality. Most basic training programs focus on developing cognitive knowledge and physical skills. Far less address the impact of stress on situational awareness and decision making and the seemingly irrational (some might even term it bizarre) behaviors manifested under stress.

If you’re an avid viewer of the seemingly never ending supply of well-hyped ‘raw video’ from emergency scenes pervasive on the Internet, you’ve seen many examples of the irrational behavior of first responders. In this article, I’m going to address a behavior manifested, in part, by stress and it can have catastrophic consequences.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

A powerful exercise I conduct during my Fifty Ways to Kill a First Responder program (the companion program to Mental Management of Emergencies) involves demonstrating that stress increases the propensity for humans to lie.

They don’t do it on purpose. In fact, at the start of the exercise I instruct the participants to tell the truth and avoid lying. The exercise plays out in front of a stunned audience who watch participants stand there in front of the room, and in spite of my instructions, lie to each other.

But here’s the kicker. The participants don’t even know they’re lying. That’s right. Even though they are saying things that are not true, they are consciously unaware they’re doing it. The audience laughs when a participant says something outlandish. The participant laughs along with them, even though they have no idea what’s so funny.

It’s as though some of the participants are in a trance or hypnotized… something I’ve been accused of doing on occasion by will continue to deny. If we were not in the presence of friends and colleagues, this type of exercise might be a royal embarrassment for the participant.

Everyone in the room gets to see the participants lie, but no one really understands WHY they’re lying – especially when I was so emphatic in my instructions that they tell the truth. The answer to the mystery resides in the brain and its powerful need to make sense of this complex world we live in.

The participants in my exercise are told a story that contains about nine pieces of information, surrounded by a bunch of other words to make the sentences run coherently together (I’ll call all those unnecessary words noise). Only two or three pieces of the information are truly important but the participants don’t know which pieces of are important and which are not. So they try to remember all of them. How do they do? They fail… miserably. They are suffering from cognitive overload and their poor brains are confused.

Your helpful brain

What the brain does to reconcile the problem of overload can have catastrophic consequences. Like water overflowing the top of a glass, the brain starts shedding information – forgetting if you will. You may be surprised to learn you have about as much control over which pieces of information you’ll forget as you would have over which droplets of water run over the rim of the glass and spill on to the table.

Our logical minds have us believing that participants will shelve the unimportant information and remember the most important information. But that’s not what happens. What does happen leaves the observers stunned. They remember the noise and forget the most important details.

I have conducted this exercise over a hundred times and the outcome is always predictably similar. Because the human brain has a limited capacity to process and recall information, it may be no surprise that information is going to be forgotten. Observers never expect the critical information to be forgotten. But it is.

Confabulation

The second most stunning outcome of this exercise is the participants start to lie. Since lying is often associated with someone who is telling an untruth on purpose (usually to keep from getting into trouble), we think of liars as having purposeful intent to be untruthful. And since these participants are not lying on purpose, we’re uncomfortable calling it lying.  Well, apparently so is the scientific community. Researchers don’t like to call it lying either so they made up their own word to describe what’s happening.

What the participant is doing is called confabulation. In scientific parlance it means the participant’s brain is fabricating imaginary stories to compensate for his or her loss of memory. In layperson’s terms, you might call it making up a story – or lying.

The loss of memory comes from two sources – stress and information overload – two ingredients abundant on an emergency scene, right?

Making up stories is a safety mechanism of the brain to help you make sense of the world. If you lack the facts to make a story flow coherently, your brain will use imagination to fill in the missing information. It makes it up as it goes and the story will make sense to the story teller and they will be completely unaware they are confabulating. They tell the story, literally, as if it were fact.

The title of this article is You can’t handle the truth. But it should more aptly could be called: You can’t handle the information… so you make up the truth.

On the emergency scene

So what does this benign classroom exercise have to do with first responder safety? A lot! The same vulnerabilities of the mind played out in the classroom can manifest themselves at an emergency scene.

• Responders can think things happened that never did.
• Commanders can believe they gave orders that were never communicated.
• Responders can recount performing tasks that were never performed.
• Conditions can be described in ways that are inconsistent with reality.

Good grief! Stress and information overload makes us vulnerable creatures.

Chief Gasaway’s Advice

It’s important to understand your vulnerabilities. Awareness of your shortcomings is the first step toward managing them. Situational awareness is an important ingredient in managing this cognitive shortcoming. Here’s why.

Level 1 situational awareness is developed by a constant scanning of the environment for clues and cues (information). But not every piece of information is important. Scan and search for the most important pieces that will help with good decision making, much like you would scan a thousand pieces of a unassembled jigsaw puzzle to find the four corners.

Level 2 situational awareness is understanding the meaning of the information. Factual, timely information, in limited quantities, is key to comprehension. Volumes of information are not the friend of a stressed brain. In fact, it’s the basis for confabulation.

Level 3 situational awareness is being able to predict the future events. In order to do that, one must have an accurate understanding of the current events. Meaning, Level 3 situational awareness (SA) is built on the successful development of Level 1 SA and Level 2 SA. It all starts with capturing the right quantity and quality of information and knowing how to sift through the noise.

Discussion Questions

1. Discuss a time when you, or someone you know, confabulated a story without realizing it was untrue.

2. If you are a parent (or if you aren’t, think back to when you were a kid) and discuss an example of childhood confabulation. (Remember, the motive is NOT to tell an untruth to keep from getting into trouble – that is lying!)

3. Discuss an emergency incident where you truly thought something happened or something was said in a certain way only to find out later you had confabulated.

4. Describe what happens to you when you try to process to many pieces of information at an emergency scene?

One thing that I have observed over the years is that name-calling and affixing derogatory labels to people usually exacerbates any perceived shortcomings in the target.  It is in the nature of people to defend themselves when under personal attack or feel attacked by not being able to assimulate what is being said, by taking it personally.  When it comes to using labels and name-calling to make nothing of the target, oft times the target reinforces the behavior labeled in an effort to somehow vindicate himself.

Name-calling seems to be an ingrained habit with some.  Folks might take some form of temporary satisfaction by considering themselves greater than those whom they condemn by shouting condemnatory labels. But, in the long run they are not really lessening the target nor are they increasing their own stature by doing so.  To the contrary, they wind up lessening their own integrity by defining themselves in the context of their chosen nemesis.  That fact alone makes them the effect of and thus less than their perceived enemies.

A valued teacher of mine once said ‘when you point your finger at someone, look to where your other three fingers are pointing.’

This is true in life and in everything else. You need to do your own life experience discovery to know the truth and not just hear about it second hand or based on google search. Truth can only be truth when you experience what you’re seeking for. Some may choose to just believe in you without experiencing the truth themselves on what you have discovered through your own experiences. This is because people have a fear of the pain and responsibility that comes with the truth.

This is why the current military operation called Q states emphatically the following:

If I tell you you the Truth, you won’t believe me. If I show you the Truth, you will tell me I am lying. However, if you experience the Truth you will either Accept it as real or you will blame others.

What if I told you that there was an Alliance against the Deep State? What if I told you in that Alliance we have world leaders, specifically President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, White Hats in the Department of Defense headed by Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, Undersecretary of Defense Intel Ezra Cohen Watnick and Gen. Michael T Flynn, Q (composed of around 800 special ops who advise President Trump including Pentagon Generals Chairman Joint Chief Mark Milley, Vice Chief John Hyten, Gen. James McConville, Adm. Michael Gilday, Gen. C.Q. Brown, Gen. Paul Nakasone and Gen. Jay Raymond), QAnons (volunteer Patriots headed by JF Kennedy Jr.), the National Security Agency and various militaries across the globe in SOF Units, including the international force authorized to make arrests in any country, Interpol, plus the US Marines, National Guard and Special Ops Units?

Would you believe it?

Would you call me a liar?

What if I told you that the Biden stolen election Deep State Coup, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Rothschilds Central Banks, the Vatican, the Black Hats in the Pentagon, DARPA, Department of Defense, The CIA, The NSA, and the INTERPOL were all in charge and America is all but doomed?

Would you believe it?

Would you call me a liar?

Either way, the people will believe what they choose to believe based on what their mind has told them must be the truth. There is a segment of the people who will use prayer, faith and discernment of the Holy Spirit, (that gut instinct of discernment and knowing to understand a thing) and the word of God to watch and see what is taking place. They will watch all things and gather the information shown in order to see the bigger plan that God has for America and all the nations. The plan of setting up a kingdom that shall have no end. That Kingdom that was prophesied by Jesus himself to come upon the entire earth before the end would come.

Matthew 24:11-14

¹¹And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. ¹²And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. ¹³But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ¹⁴And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 

Daniel 2: 42-45

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Lin Wood has been given the insight to tell all the people this is the time of Harvest, not the time of the end. I see clearly his message is true and sure. For the KINGDOM OF GOD  IS BEING SET UP, this Kingdom shall never be destroyed. Since the very day the Lord proclaimed it, the Kingdom has been coming with all the armies of hell battling to stop it from rising up.

Yet, this same Kingdom, as the Lord Jesus proclaimed has a destiny,  “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”  The message of the KINGDOM is now being proclaimed throughout the entire world, for before this time the message has been about the Lord and Salvation. Now the message in the forefront is ABOUT THE KINGDOM THAT IS COMING! The Kingdom that all shall say, “Thus Sayeth The Lord”, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…or any nations that do not abide, they shall have no rain on their land!

Zechariah 14:16-21

All Nations will Worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords- Jesus The Christ!

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

In the article linked below, it was told what was taking place. Now as in any battle, no one can predict how or when Generals in charge maneuver their strategies to achieve the mission. The same as God’s timing, and God’s purpose. That being said, God always shows his people through his word or through another what his plans are. This article is for your own descretion. You can take it for the insight in which it was given, or call it rubbage. Each has free will and each must do their own search for the truth. I found it revealing in what was taking place in general. And it coincided with the things I was being directed to see and to share.

Insurrection Act Signed By Trump Jan 14 2021 | Inauguration Cancelled, Trump Remains in Office, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, MSNBC to Lose Licenses

President Trump invoked the Insurrection Act after another assassination attempt on him last Sat. morning 9 Jan. According to his Intel, Chinese Communist Party Agents, the FBI, Department of Justice, CIA and others of the Deep State have – with the help of the Main Stream Media – long been planning to dismantle the US and it’s Constitution.

Of course, none of these treasonous acts have been reported by the corrupt Main Stream Media. Trump had evidence that the MSM was “embedded with CIA and Chinese Communist Party agents whose sole purpose was to direct public opinion toward a Deep State agenda.”

Ask yourself this HUGE QUESTION Why was the very first thing Pelosi did after January 6th dust had settled was to call for the 25th Amendment?

There is a reason why Pelosi et al sought to have Pence call the 25th Amendment, and when that failed, they sought to have the Supreme Court preside over Congressional Impeachment. When that failed, they had one of their own preside over their failed IMPEACHMENT #2. There is also a reason none of the thieves who stole the election look happy nor do they appear to have ever had a celebration of their triumphant coup. There is a reason they are all still out to destroy President Trump, even as he has left the office. There is a reason so few of the House of Representatives are showing up in congress seats during live C-Spam, I mean C-Span live Congress hearings. There is a reason the Corporation grounds are still locked down and surrounded with armed guard. Remember Armed guard are not allowed on the streets without some form of insurrection act or Martial Law being invoked. They would have to use Capitol Police Force. Armed guard were moved into place January 6,2021 and D.C. was under martial law. Jan Morgan did a Facebook live talking about D.C. locked down under martial law and no one could go outside the hotel. So all those who continue to shout that martial law was not called at all…. good grief, did you not listen to anything from those who were stuck in the hotels and those who lost their plane flights because they were locked down on the very same day this event took place? It has remained locked down, ever since. So the hour of insurrection, or when ever that took place…those in charge know for certain. However, the day Martial Law was declared in D.C. was January 6th! You can’t change that fact.

Deny all day long, but truth is truth. The Lord is doing a cleaning out of all the wickedness the miry swamp has planned in secret and carried out in the light of day. He is taking care of all things, not just a few. The world is shaking and the meek are waking up!

Matthew 6:9-13

⁹After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. ¹⁰Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. ¹¹Give us this day our daily bread. ¹²And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. ¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

God is setting up his Kingdom and you were chosen for such a time as this! The stone uncut with human hands has been set into motion and nothing can stop what is coming. It shall be JOY TO THE LORD and the WORLD SHALL PROCLAIM HIS GLORY!

For it is written that the Lord has said that the meek shall inherit the earth! Not the United States of America, not Great Britain, Not China, Not Russia, Not India, Not African Nations, Not any one singular nation upon the earth, but all the MEEK which are all of those sheep of different flocks, scattered throughout the earth who love the Lord.

Matthew 5:5 KJV

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Psalms 37:11-14

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. ⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. ¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. ¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. ¹³The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. ¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

Keep building on your faith that God has all of this in his mighty hands and remember to Stay Strong!

Judgment and the Authority Problem

Ego believes that by giving one loses what is given. That is why ego is so quick to pass judgment and offer guilt. The reasoning goes that when guilt is dealt it passes from the accuser to the accused. Ego believes that making others guilty cleanses one of one’s own guilt. It projects hate in an effort to purge hate.

At bottom the ego’s motivation is based on fear. Fear of judgment, guilt, shame, blame – all forms of attack. The ego’s automatic form of defense is attack. It reasons that the more it attacks the less liable to attack it becomes.  What it gives, it loses.

But a clear, objective look will reveal that the ego’s law is reversed. In reality, one gets what one gives. The more one attacks the more attack one attracts. The more guilt one dishes the more guilt one takes on. The more one judges the more shall one be judged.

This vicious cycle can be revealed and reversed. If one can manage to separate from the ego sufficiently to view it objectively, fear is manifest. And in the process fear is evaporated. What makes that exposure possible is fear’s opposite. In its presence fear cannot co-exist, just as darkness cannot co-exist in the presence of light. Its fundamental law is the precise opposite of the ego’s ‘you lose what you give.’

For some moments disregard the ego’s impulse to project guilt and replace it with an effort to extend love. Begin with contemplation of objects of love that are easy for you – your child, your sibling, your best friend, your spouse, etc. Then make a conscious effort to extend it even to those whom you believe you hate.  Go easy at first. Extend it to someone or something you have been more neutral about. Then extend it to someone or something you have loved but you haven’t been feeling so loving about lately. Just as ego’s attacks attract attacks, you will find that love’s extension attracts love.

At any time while you extend love you are liable to get an impulse to attack – an urge to attack anything, even an attack thought at yourself. There is your opportunity to have an objective look at ego. And by simply recognizing it as such, as something separate and apart from you, and carrying on with extending love you are on the road to reversing the ego’s vicious cycle.

Because the ego and ego—driven societal information channels have so cleverly co-opted the concept of love for attack purposes and justification, a point of clarification is offered. Martin Luther King provided clarity on the subject in A Stride Toward Freedom (May 1958):

“In speaking of love at this point, we are not referring to some sentimental or affectionate emotion. It would be nonsense to urge men to love their oppressors in an affectionate sense. Love in this connection means understanding, redemptive good will. When we speak of loving those who oppose us, we refer to neither eros nor philia; we speak of a love which is expressed in the Greek word agape. Agape means understanding, redeeming  good will for all men. It is an overflowing love which is purely spontaneous, unmotivated, groundless, and creative. It is not set in motion by any quality or function of its object. It is the love of God operating in the human heart.

“Agape is disinterested love. It is a love in which the individual seeks not his own good, but the good of his neighbor (1 Cor. 10:24). Agape does not begin by discriminating between worthy and unworthy people, or any qualities people possess. It begins by loving others for their sakes. It is entirely “neighbor-regarding concern for others,” which discovers the neighbor in every man it meets. Therefore, agape makes no distinction between friends and enemy; it is directed toward both. If one loves an individual merely on account of his friendliness, he loves him for the sake of the benefits to be gained from the friendship, rather than for the friend’s own sake. Consequently, the best way to assure oneself that love is disinterested is to have love for the enemy-neighbor from whom you can expect no good in return, but only hostility and persecution.

“Another basic point about agape is that it springs from the need of the other person – his need for belonging to the best of the human family. The Samaratin who helped the Jew on the Jericho Road was “good” because he responded to the human need that he was presented with. God’s love is eternal and fails not because man needs his love. Saint Paul assures us that the loving act of redemption was done “while we were yet sinners” – that is, at the point of our greatest need for love. Since the white man’s personality is greatly distorted by segregation, and his soul is greatly scarred, he needs the love of the Negro. The Negro must love the white man, because the white man needs his love to remove his tensions, insecurities, and fears.”

If you practice this, at some point love’s law will become apparent, you get what you give. And you will find that you have that much more to give.

WHAT IS LEFT IS STILL THE NORMALCY BIAS THAT TELLS YOUR BRAIN THIS IS TOO UNBELIEVABLE.

NORMALCY BIAS
