We have been importing our foreign policies. Horrific stuff. A nightmare hellish enough, it forces many of Americans to wake up
and smell the rot of massive deceit. Studies show that if roughly 10 percent of any given population adopt an idea whose time has come, the rest of the populace will integrate the new idea and absorb it as part of their mainframe operating system.

Do we have 10% of Americans ready to pop right out of the fog of disinformation and the trance of personality cult membership?

I think we're at the tipping point... and sometimes I think we've already gone over it.

The Shift is in progress, that's for sure.
