My Cyclic Life

So, like a teenager writing in my little diary, I've posted about the ills of social media and why I'm pulling back.  As I've reached out to people before I bail Twitter I've seen a few people post stuff like, "Good luck but I'm going to stay and fight for my family and country."  There are a few implications raised here I'd like to address.

1. How much conviction is enough?  How much information do you really need to convince you that the democrats are a bunch of elitist masquerading as socialist so they can fulfill the agendas of the dark money that supports them while they pilfer the public coffers?  How much info do you need to convince you that the GOP is largely controlled opposition (not all but most).  I'm pretty sure you can spend a day on Twitter and pick that up.
2. How much knowledge do you need about MKUltra, The New World Order, Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, The Club of Rome, etc...  I agree that the never ending flow of information is addicting, but once you get how things work, how much more info do you need to really know?
3. Is Twitter really "fighting"?  Some would argue it is the opposite.  A virtual pacifier to those that are angry. Twitter did help spread the fire that was already ignited really back in the Ross Perot days...maybe even before.  It helped.  But does it still?
4. Is Twitter the only way to fight?  Because someone is leaving Twitter does that mean they have stopped fighting by default?
5. Playing on the above four points, if you use Twitter to fight, is fighting really regurgitating information to people who already think like you really fighting?  Are you engaging, listening to, people who are in the dark?  Or are you just trolling with no real hope of connecting.
6. Are you fighting the right war?  As a born again Christian I need to be MOST concerned about pointing people to Jesus.  I've found personally that all the political stuff on social media does not always do that...and I find it being more of a distraction to the real fight.  Is a spiritually dead person even capable of seeing how much in the dark they are?  It has nothing really to do with intellect, as the heart directs the intellect.  If the heart is dead, the intellect will be dead as well.  Why waste time on people who are literally dead spiritually trying to enlighten them when you see that there isn't a spark of life there.  Better to focus on the areas where Jesus might cause some sparks to fire.  Those areas often aren't found in political troll wars.
7. As a personal flaw, it irritates me a tiny bit, not a lot (I wish it was zero) but a tiny bit, when people say they will still "keep fighting" kind of saying like I am not.  I've been on the wall so to speak for 11 plus years often for hours a day fighting the infowar.  Please don't talk down to me if you have only 4000 tweets much of them RTs and not original thought.  Just a minor irk that if I was a better person wouldn't annoy me at all, but it does.

Just things to ponder.  Twitter is still useful but less so.  I worry many people think they are doing more than they really are by being info warriors on it.  I'm not saying stop, I'm not saying you don't have an impact, I'm just saying the impact might be smaller than you think, and there are other ways you can have an impact in tandem or instead of Twitter.

With all that said, I've found my research into the esoteric and political corruption goes in cycles.  Probably when I was around 18 and has some minor experiences with the occult on up to five years after college I was a dedicated conspiracy theorist.  Buying books, cruising alt.conspiracy, meeting the few like minded people out there that I could.  But when I got a corporate IT job, I knew that I needed to focus on my career and push other things aside.  Not totally aside, I still researched, but it wasn't front and center.  Around mid 2000's my career was pretty much established, so again I put researching dark things front and center.  Twitter became a useful tool for sharing that info.  But now once again I find myself where other things need to be put front and center.  I shared a lot about that in the previous post to this so I won't rehash it here.  But I'm not stopping voting.  I might even participate in local elections and volunteer.  I'm not stopping researching, if anything I will go deeper.  I'm just rotating off the line for awhile so I can take care of other things.  If I live long enough, I wouldn't be surprised if I rotate back in on some future date.
