Neil Gorsuch Wikipedia page declares he is a homophobe... even after already being edited and update

I wonder if Trump's editors that waved their digital pens in real time to update his page were instructed to insert that as a supposed bona fides.... These people are disgustingly dim.

Here is copy/paste of current page intro:

Neil McGill Gorsuch (born August 29, 1967)[1]is Judge]] of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.[2] On January 31, 2017, Gorsuch was nominated for a position as an associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Gorsuch is a homophobe and proponent of gay rights and of textualism in interpreting the constitution.[3][4][5] He was nominated to the US Supreme Court by President Trump on January 31, 2017.

On January 31, 2017, President Trump nominated Gorsuch to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to fill the seat left vacant after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia

This parading of the two SCOTUS "finalist" is degrading to us all...Shame on us for letting this man

disgrace the office of President any longer! This is the most obvious of political theater, designed to distract us from the cabal seizing power. Bannon is leading a cabal to destroy our government from within and turn us against each other in social violence.

Trump just fired the acting Attorney General

Sally Yates was just fired by the Trump administration for refusing to defend the EO on immigration.

Finally, some like minds!

Hello All!

As this is my first day actually posting here, let me first just say that I have read through this thread and am thrilled to see that there are others out there who see the signs of the encroaching Dominion. Thank you, Alex, and others for giving me cause to feel some sense of intellectual community in the vacuum of our day.

Your observations and deductions are spot on, and inarguable for any mind capable of hearing the argument. I would only add that this global cabal can be further traced back in history to the institutionalization of centralized banking across the western and near east world at the turn of the last century. If you consider the last 100 or so years of geopolitical and economic history within this context, the shadowed hand emerges from behind the veil. Since that time, this global Plutocracy has, with exponentially increasing technological capacity and masterfully designed social theatre, bred us to be increasingly apathetic and tribal as they go about consolidating and entrenching their power.

The first great world war against fascism became war the against Nazis, and then on communism. The Red Threat became the war on drugs, and the war on drugs became the war on terror, and the war on terror has become the war against each other; each one more abstract than the last. They are turning us against ourselves in order to sow the social war and violence needed to enshrine the ascendant police state and finally make an overt seizure of power. And the worst part is that we will beg for it. Just as we happily gave away our rights in the Patriot Act after 9-11, so will we gladly accept totalitarianism disguised as protectionism to save us from the social violence we are being bated into...our genetic tribalism is being exploited against us.

As you've stated, most are not informed enough or even willing to entertain this premise, as it too deeply disturbs more fundamental and likely even less informed assumptions. We still live in a world where the vast majority of people believe quite literally in some form of mythologies or parroted cultural cosmology. Science education has become so specialized that we no longer produce competent multi-disciplinary minds. Al of western popular culture, led by this country, has been running away from critical thought since the Industrial Revolution. The masses have happily sacrificed their minds for the comforts of the modern world. This original bargain is being reinforced by Darwinian selection processes at both a cultural, psychological, and sexual level. We are breeding and training ourselves to become progressively passive, placated, and easily transfixed.

I, for one, believe the die is cast. Our rampant and ballooning global population puts ever increasing strain on this planets limited resources. As I've posted elsewhere... You think things are bad now as we squabble over oil and minerals? Just wait until the wars for clean water begin... We haven't seen anything like that in all of human history, folks, and it's coming...

Our species is facing a genetic bottleneck. If we don't destroy ourselves and our chance on this planet in the next 100 years, we will likely be interstellar, still facing a genetic bottleneck... The fact is that we've so successfully evolved that we've lost our sustainability by overrunning our environment. The span of modern human conquest on a geologic timescale is absolutely minuscule. It is the ultimate human vanity that we thought we could ignore the chain of contingency. Every species that has ever lived has gone extinct. The question is: How long before we join that great hall?...not if we will.

Like I said, we face an impending genetic bottleneck, and we will emerge changed, if we emerge at all.

The Global Dominion

You are correct. Populism and fascist movements are sweeping across the western democracies. Our instinctual fear of outsiders (an evolved genetic inevitability, programmed from many tens of thousands of years of protective tribal life) and the very real oppression that is feeding both the support and opposition to such trends, is being masterfully wielded against us. Everywhere, we are being turned against each other while the ruling class reaps the profits. It's all carefully scripted theatre... Plays to all sides. They'd be fools not to...

Things are far worse than that...

Our democracy is already forfeit. All we have is the illusion of freedom. We happily gave up what few rights we had left after 9-11 with the passing of the Patriot Act. The overt signs of the global economic cabal seizing control and breeding us to be fat and apathetic have been obvious to anyone who cared to see for several generations now. For decades, each successive administration, regardless of party affiliation, has marched us steadily towards this end. This country, and indeed the entire western world, has been governed and manipulated by the global financial elite who have been steadily consolidating and entrenching power since the institutionalization of modern central banking around the turn of the last century.

The election of Donald Trump represents the final emasculation of the voice of the people. We have discredited ourselves in the eyes of each other and the eyes of the world. All that is left is the overt seizure of power and enshrinement of the ascendant police state. We will demand it...just like after 9-11. The war on communism that became the war on drugs that became the war on terror that has become the war against each other... We have been set against ourselves so as to distract from the Dominion we are enslaved to. The average person is more concerned with how their attitudes and ideas are perceived on Facebook, than how their ideas and attitudes can translate to MEANINGFUL action. We are, by large, an ignorant and bovine culture. The signs were everywhere...we were too busy enjoying the indulgence and conveniences foisted upon our increasingly abstracted modern lives.

I appreciate all you keyboard activists with your sincere hope and call to action, but it is too late. The die is cast. Power and arms are too deeply entrenched against us. The world will have to tear itself apart before it will begin to heal; and we have only begun to feel the real heel of oppression. As our exploding global population continues to put unrestrained demands on the limited resources of this planet, the boiling point becomes exponentially nearer and unavoidable. You think the Plutocracy is bad now as we squabble over oil?... Just wait until the fight over clean water begins... We ain't seen nothing yet, folks.
