ACTivism: Facts Matter

Facts matter, perhaps more than ever. Once you’ve identified an issue and you’ve decided you want to fight, it’s imperative that you have every bit of information you can get your hands on. You need the facts not just assumptions, nor just passion. As they say know your enemy. Not only that, you can easily make a fool out of yourself if you start activism with only passion and don’t know what you’re talking about when confronted by those who oppose your point of view. 

A good activists, doesn’t take no for an answer. The truth is out there, and we must stop at nothing to uncover it. This takes courage, patience and dogged persistence. It often means asking the same question over and over. Or repeating the same facts over and over. This repetition is, actually, an important part of having an impact — i.e., continuously repeating accurate information so that the issue under investigation will not go away or be ignored.

As an activist, we must do whatever we can to learn and have facts about our cause. This will help make everyone a better activist by giving us the knowledge we need to educate others and ignite change, especially by those who will use our own ignorance to discredit everything we are attempting to bring awareness to.

**Age of Hypocrisy**: The Real War on Women

Image
Written By: ~X~ of TFD The "War on Women" is a phrase that has been slung around and misused inaccurately as much as the " W ar on Drugs". Both of these "wars" have been (in my opinion) been blow n out of proportion, misrepresented , misunderstood and abused to the fullest by pundits, journalist, wanna-be reporters and colum nist, depending on what side of the isle they are on. Let me explain.... This "war" has gone to far and if it is not put int o perspective , we can loose a lot more th an a few seats in the House. First, women HAVE been through a lot throughout history . We here HONOR women , you can make life.

Photo Credit: The Mountain View Mirror Written By: ~X~ of TFD The ~X~ Filez: The Bank for International Settlements- The Federal Reserve " It is well enough that nation do not understand our banking & monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. "- Henry Ford Last article , we touched on the history and the structure of the Bank for International Settlements. Now, we are going to get into the fuckery of the global financial robber bearer. To do this, we are going to have to explore several banks, treaties, and people all the way back to 1920 and even further. The main thing to understand is the tyrannical and evil banking system which does not just effect the United States but EVERY single territory on this planet is controlled ( knowingly or not ) by this cartel and their cronies ( Central Banks ). " The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger...

Dear Brothers & Sisters By: Puck Arks

 Dear Brothers & Sisters    Written By: Puck Arks of TFD M y dear brothers and sisters—yes, we are all brothers and sisters, I have love in my heart for all people, while we may disagree, but even more so may we agree that some people cross the line, more often than not, or even rarely because in truth we all do it. M y friends, Collectively speaking, conflict is not necessarily bad or destructive.  E ven when conflict causes a great deal of stress or fr frustration we must remember why we are here. S ometimes we disturb the peace by trying to defend ourselves or prove a point. I t helps to remember that someone else's perception has no real power over who we are, so there is no actual threat. W hen others hold strong opinions, you still can hold your own without disturbing the balance. W e need to seek common ground rather than notice our differences. See things from another perspective so that you can understand that person within...
