"Is all that we see or seem just a dream within a dream?" - E.A. Poe
Well, I'll start with ol' Edgar here and I think being a fan of Mr. Carpenter you'll recognize that he's used this quote before. There's nothing new in your idea that "the truth is hidden before our very eyes but we have been trained not to see it." Hell, Kent people have been kicking that one around now for umm...centuries. You've not yet presented a single idea or notion I've found "shocking" or even mildly surprising except perhaps your misunderstanding of the truth in lending laws and what a mortgage says.
In case you haven't checked in all of your intense research all the info you claim is "shocking" and evidence that proves "we've let the snake in" is printed right on the mortgage paperwork for you. The only way you could miss what you would pay by the end of a 30 year fixed mortgage is if you failed to read what you were signing. The number is right on the paperwork. Why the hell would you go down to your lender and make an ass out of yourself asking if the money you borrowed from them appears as an asset on their balance sheet? Of course it would it's their money! By the way, you think if someone is putting 5% down on a house and borrowing the rest for 30 YEARS, the lender is not entitled to charge them interest? Over 30 years of course you'd end up paying 3 times the loan note. Kent only an imbecile would not understand that. That mortgage example was the absolute worst thing you've posted so far in terms of harming your credibility. One small piece of advice I'd leave that little tidbit out of your book. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic I'm just trying to be helpful.
I'll listen to whatever you've got on freemasons, Satan, aliens, black ops, bin laden being dead already, underground mach 5 rail systems, but please no more finance talk. Unless you find someone that's willing to lend people money for 30 years at no interest then I think we'd all want to hear what you've got to say.
I did read the 8 Veils deal you posted. I thought for the most part it's a madman's manifesto. Not because I'm asleep, or unwilling or unable to accept the truth because I'm brainwashed but because according to modern psychiatry the logic the author attempts to use in presenting his case is so fatally flawed. Listen Kent, a big and I mean huge issue with all this is the insular nature of all of your arguements. They all fold in on themselves.
You surround yourself with these theories which in your estimation are only visible to you and a scant few others. If anyone presents a challenge to any of these notions you dismiss them with a wave of your magic wand with the stock answer that "the blinded and brainwashed sheeple can't see or comprehend these truths" and that even if we wanted to believe because someone beat us over the head with the "facts" our "training" wouldn't allow us to. You see a psychiatrist would say that this "method" you are using is your way of protecting your delusion. Let me be clear on something here, I'm not saying that you're mad, just that you present a good clean argument for someone to present a case that you are.
Look, I like reading your posts, and I really do think it takes a certain amount courage to keep presenting the things that you share here. I also like the fact that you are so concerned about the state of the world. I don't think you should be concerned with what other people think of you but I don't think it's a healthy thing on your part to shut out other points of view because you think 99.9 percent of the population is brainwashed.
Really, I'm ok Kent. I don't watch tv, except for the occasional football game. I read quite a bit. Mostly philosophy, sociology, psychology, scientific, and religious texts. I don't eat at fast food joints. I'm not fat or obsessed with material possesions. I don't drive a Lexus or any other highend automobile. These really are just the mundane facts about me though...I'm sure to you they mean nothing...I'm a sheeple right? I can't understand these complex demons with which you struggle on a daily basis. Don't worry though brother you're not alone. You may think I'm being sarcastic but I've always felt I'm on a never ending journey to understand...and really that's what I'm doing...I'm trying to understand. That's all really. I'm off to get some much needed rest right now though I'm beat.
Goodnight,
