--------------------/ Note: As we pursue truth in a world filled with errors and deceptions, all of us have mistaken beliefs or opinions in various degrees, thus it takes some discipline to not throw the baby out with the bathwater when we find ourselves offended. So concerning some possible interpretations of points 8 and 9 of the above presentation, remember how displeased the Lord was with Miriam and Aaron for criticizing Moses' marriage to an Ethiopian woman (Old Testament | Numbers 12:1-15). So if we reject everything a person says upon discovering something we perceive to be in error, we drastically limit the possibility of finding truth. Perhaps the best solution when confronting opinions and interpretations that offend is to peaceably stand for justice and equity. Most times, seeking truth seems like a “mining” operation where nuggets are chipped out from surrounding debris. We learn as we go—hopefully open, in all things, to God's justice and equity, however disrupting this might be to our own beliefs and biases. And also remember God's words: New Testament | John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. New Testament | 1 Timothy 2:4 ~ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 26:33 ~ ... for [the Lord] doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile. Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:9 ~ Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved. Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:34 ~ And he hath said: Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, and have faith in me, that ye may be saved.

Of course, we must exercise discernment when listening to witnesses, but because their stories may sound unbelievable, it does not mean they are entirely false or fabricated.2 Do we think we are so advanced that we cannot have Caligulas, Neros, Herods, Atillas, Hitlers, et al. al. al. in our leadership? Do we not know that sexual addictions and perversities are some of the horrible, persistent déjà vus of every age? that the obsessive pursuit of power, privilege, and gain always becomes psychopathic?
When will we begin to explore the reality that pursuers of power, privilege, and gain have sold themselves into the abominations of old? When will we clue in that the majority of what the elite and powerful say cannot be trusted in any degree? that the “fake news” they are accusing citizen investigators with is, in large measure, horrible truth that will destroy their power, privilege, and gain? Can we not see that? The evidence is abundant if those who are charged with law and order will have the integrity and courage to look and act NOW.
If not, God help us all.

Suggestibility can impact memory and recall of recovering DID survivors if therapy is mismanaged or corrupted, not to mention the possibility of M-K programmers using actors / impersonators during trauma to so conflate truth with error that all is rejected as false when recalled facts do not mesh with perceived reality upon investigation. As well, even after healing, personality traits, like narcissism or psychopathy, may emerge, again causing truth and error to so intertwine that all is rejected, instead of independently investigating each allegation. Strange how we can fragment and compartmentalize the human psyche, yet reject a witness's entire testimony—even those parts proven to be true if one or more fragments are proven to be false. So, for those reasons, and for others it seems that holding some information in limbo till it can be verified may be advisable. Yet when witnesses continue to surface over decades alleging similar practices of T-BMC, sometimes accompanied by documented evidence, then should we not do all we can to investigate and end such patterns and practices?

Reality Check
Several things have been cycling through my mind since a recent Thanksgiving conversation—thoughts about world and spiritual conditions that I have been studying for decades (and which most of the people I know are not prepared to hear).
A friend spoke about transgender persons and his feelings of compassion for them, but I have wondered if understanding WHY our world is experiencing an explosion of gender rejection and of Dissociative Identity Disorders (DID) is even more vital than expressing compassion that does not explore cause. So I address the rest of this post to my friend.
Maybe you don't believe there is a cause, but would you if you knew there have been science and medical programs in place for over 60 years that experimented with dissociation and its usefulness to powers and governments. These were trauma-based mind control projects. One of the most “renowned” was the U.S.-based MKUltra project.1 (Please read the link. It is not too long.)
But even before MKUltra, others knew that trauma could cause dissociation between mind, body, feelings, and memory. Trauma has also been used by pedophile rings (which are rampant worldwide) to fragment children so that they lose the ability to recall repetitive mental, physical, and sexual abuse. Sometimes, fragmented personalities are programmed to adopt various ages and genders, with completely different tastes, preferences, behaviors, and skills; programmed to be unaware of alternate personalities; and to be controlled by handlers with trigger words or events.2 The traumas are often structured to be so fantastical that any inadvertent recall would not be believed; and when necessary, false reports are interspersed and conflated with truth in order to discredit any proceedings. Trauma sometimes begins when children are even infants. And sometimes the fragmentation just happens without an abuser intending it.
Over the years, experimental and other addict- or cult-based trauma programs have been inflicted upon many generations of families, and it is estimated that millions worldwide have become DID victims/DID perpetrators passing down through the generations.
Maybe you want to reject or dismiss all this, as so many do—some out of fear; some out of disbelief because they cannot or will not recognize the reality of such evil; some because the “I want—I think—I feel” mantra has replaced values and principles of empathy, compassion, humility, love, integrity, and truth. Too many say, “Live and let live” without seeming to care how many are not living, but suffering and dying because we live in fear or denial.
I don't know the space you are in right now, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever understand this present world without understanding the prevalence and purposes of trauma-based mind control. Yet, most people, including reporters, academics, pastors, politicians, and professionals of all stripes are utterly naive or dismissive about what has been repeatedly witnessed—the magnitude of mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual trauma that has been, and is still being deliberately inflicted worldwide for a variety of purposes.
As it is, we seem so inundated with opinions, theories, biases, feelings, and tolerances about everything while we ignore credible witnesses and therapists who know and have experienced the realities of T-BMC?
As well, we too often reject, in knee-jerk fashion, anything that is mocked as “conspiracy” when almost the entirety of world history is (by mere observation and study) a déjà vu of conspiracy upon conspiracy of those pursuing or protecting power, privilege, and gain?3
The consequences of trauma are beginning to reap their horrible harvest worldwide; and so few are prepared with the gifts and knowledge of healing,4 or with the power to prevent further horrors. I have wondered in recent months if your life experiences, your creative gifts, and your passion to know and understand things have been preparing you for a time when the consequences of deliberately inflicted trauma finally explode upon the world.
I know you are struggling with understanding this life experience. You are not alone. Thousands have struggled for years, including even Mother Teresa, but this I can witness for myself. In my own decades of searching for answers and understanding, I have listened to and read hundreds of theories and opinions, including from militant atheists like Richard Dawkins (scientist) and Sam Harris (philosopher / neuroscientist) and have found that the dogma, controls, and programming that many reject in religion are manifest in equal degree in nigh every sphere of human knowledge, especially science, medicine, and academics. Many highly educated professionals, in my experience and observation, seem as authoritarian-bound to their secular beliefs as believers are to their sects; and are just as hostile to anything that questions their theories, opinions, vested interests, or standard models. The history of scientific discovery tells that tale. Consider even the recent struggles of Vaxxed and of the Electric Universe/Plasma model; or of the tragedy surrounding Tesla's free energy. It is quite eye-opening to study how often in history, science has sold itself for power, prestige, and profit—YET we don't throw the babies out with the bathwater. Many honest scientists persist against great odds to “prove all things (eventually) and hold fast to that which is good [and true]” (1 Thess. 5:21). Should we do any less when pursing the truths of religion?
For years I demanded a rational God—one who made sense. He never conformed to my demands, so I kept studying and writing and here are two of my explorations that might help as we both try to avoid “being wrong” in the choices we are making.
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." (OT:Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)
"Dwell in the past and you'll lose an eye. Forget the past and you'll lose both eyes." (Old Russian Proverb)
