Be Careful of Memes.....

There is one being shared right now on the BB as truth.

I see them shared EVERYDAY on Facebook as truth.

This one below has been shared at LEAST 20 times on Facebook in the past two weeks.

When I first read it - I thought, "That doesn't even SOUND like Hitler! Hitler never did anything by tiptoeing around."

Sure enough, he did not say this. It is NOT in his book Mein Kampf.

A woman named Miller, if I am remembering correctly, wrote a historical fiction/romance novel about an American woman in Germany before the war who got involved in a relationship with an SS officer. She got stuck in Germany and could not get home and she tried and tried to get the German people to see the truth about what Hitler was doing. She MADE UP this quote by Hitler - it fit her narrative of the fictional account - it's not a legitimate quote of Hitler's.

Yet someone who read the book thought it WAS - told others about it and SOMEONE believing it to be true put it on a meme AS truth - and there we are.

These false quotes and false historical statements are everywhere on social media.

The one I made with Snoopy - i was just being silly.

Satire is sometimes funny, many times not.

Facebook and other social media has innumerable people share these "articles" as truth.

For example, there's one of Nancy Pelosi ripping up the Bible and another of her declaring she will soon take away all social security benefits of the elderly. People on Facebook are posting those with great anger and working themselves up to stroke level.

The one here on the BB is one of Ruth Ginsberg saying that the age of sexual consent should be lowered to 12. She never said that, but it was posted here as the truth.

One of my aunts stated that she would not longer vote for Trump because he told people to drink Chlorine. Her news source? CNN.

Then there are the numerous Russia hoaxes, the false belief that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with slaves, the false belief that the South did not succeed over slavery, etc.

You don't need memes to spread false beliefs. And to be honest, I think that many of these people are true believers. I don't think they are posting this because they like spreading false information. They really think what they say is true.

"Red caps" (like the bonnet rouge) were an old sign of serving Mithra of Phrygia (Phrygian cap), and it became as sign in the French revolution of France and secular humanism of the Jacobins therein, as used and fomented by the Jesuit order (Adam Weishaupt, Augustin Barruel, Voltaire, Guillotine, and Jesuit trained Maximilien Robespierre who influenced persons like Jean-Paul Marat and others like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Jacques Necker)

The current "red caps" (though with a new modern label of MAGA, Make America Great Again) is also tied to the Jesuits and revolution, as was foretold in Daniel 11, etc.

Therefore, ask yourself why all of the sudden revolution, the overturning of secular humanism, for religious humanism (Papacy), and the "red caps" which proclaim to make "America" great again? Which "America" is being referred to? The freedom of conscience, lliberty and religion of the Lamb, or the "America" of the Dragon (Rev. 13) where the White house (named after Andrew White, a Jesuit) who founded "MARYland" next to VIRGINia.

Are you a flat-earther?
Just because:

N.A.S.A. - Not Always Scientifically Accurate
N.A.S.A. - Never A Straight Answer
N.A.S.A. - Numerous Anomalies Scams Abound
N.A.S.A. - National Academy of Space Actors
N.A.S.A. - Not Anything, Simply Aether,
N.A.S.A. - Neither Aerospace, Sadly, Astro-NOTS!
N.A.S.A. - Never Accept Serpent Assertions.

... does not validate the heresy of 'flat-earth' rhetoric. One error demonstrated (NASA), does not validate an associated error (flat-earth) as true.

The position taken, is a scriptural (KJB), historical and scientific one. God will never allow sin to leave this planet [world, spheroid, it is the quarantine zone, the sickbed of the universal Hospital [angels, as nurses, Christ Jesus the Great Physician, a leper colony on an island in space, struck off [temporarily] from the continent of heaven, etc], and even now [since the Cross] satan is trapped here, unable to leave [1 Timothy 6:7 (which seems to draw upon Job 1:21 & Ecclesiastes 5:15); Revelation 12:8-13; Romans 5:6 [combined with Revelation 12:10]; 2 Corinthians 4:4 [this world only and no other worldly body in the heavens] KJB].

Psa_115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The ‘space program’ is actually another system based upon the ‘tower of babel’ reasoning/thought, being another way up into Heaven other than The Way (John 14:6), another ladder other than the Jacob’s Ladder - Jesus Christ. The only way into Heaven now is by vision, or by John 14:1-3.

Some names I may recommend to you (most of which is freely available online to read or watch, consider scientifically). Bill Kaysing. James Collier (Was it only a paper moon); Bart Sibrel (Astronauts Gone Wild); Ralph Rene (Nasa Mooned America), and Marcus Allen (author, speaker with Aulis & Nexus magazine). David Percy (What happened on the Moon, Analysis; Hall of Mirrors), Mary Bennett. Jim Fetzer. Jarrah White (Moon Faker, Mars Faker (youtube)), Richard Hall, and in this present list, last but not least, N.A.S.A. itself, and its own material, still available and that which has since been removed, deleted, redacted, etc. Do I agree with everything they have said or done? Of course not. I am only interested in facts, which substantiate the scriptural position.

Yes, Oswald did it. People are too afraid to believe that killing people is that easy.
It has been established, but not acknowledged, because once a coverup always a coverup, that the fatal bullet came from a friendly in a follow up security vehicle in the motorcade, who had only been in service for a few months. He was there that day because the regulars had been out on a bender the night before.

See this meme...............

......I just made this meme. It took me all of about 2-3 minutes. So easy a 4th grader could do it.

And I could have put ANY picture I chose: a famous person, a cartoon, YOU [your BB picture], ANY Facebook, Twitter, or ANY picture I chose.

And I could have said anything I wanted to - literally anything. And I copied it without saving it.

Memes CANNOT be trusted for facts, truth, or reason.

They are not primary, secondary, or ANY kind of source.

Imbecilic people make them up everyday with lies or with things they WANT to believe as true and they share and share and good and decent people just believe it's all true - merely because it's on a meme.

Facebook is NOTORIOUS for these things being shared as well as satire/fake news article that, again, are shared as truth by good and decent people.

Let's use common sense. If there is no credible source - do not share it.
Wiki is one big meme then. I can go in a change anything, anytime.
Memes say things in a quick second that no one would bother to read if you did a post. What is stated in posts, with links, is no more guaranteed to be fact than the meme. You still have a bee in your bonnet about Ginsburg. IMO, you found some excuse for her quote, & hung your hat on it, there are a mountain of excuses to pick from. Get a grip. Oh and btw, your response was was not a first person quote. I quoted her. Can’t get more factual than that.

So you are saying that this Senior Citizen must find a 4th grader to make me a meme???

On a serious note though- the one meme that drives me nuts is the one that says that a one term congressman will receive his annual pay as retirement for the rest o his life. - That is totally untrue.
In addition, they usually add 5 or 6 other things in that meme - and for the most part, those items are incorrect as well.

If I'm not mistaken, there are some pages that cannot be changed.

I do use Wiki, often I get a different point of view - there are links- but again, true research means research. And it takes times.

LOL!! No. Just google "meme generator" and it will take you some. Make an account. [1] Upload one of their pictures or load your own. [2] They ask what you want to say on the top and bottom line. [3] Then click "make meme".

I'm a senior adult and even I can do it!!!

There are scores like that and people swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Yes, and who trusts Wiki? I don't.

I am no fan of Ruth Ginsburg. At ALL! Trust me on that. She needs to be long gone from the Supreme Court.

I looked for no excuse at all. I found quotes from her book [report/review] on gender bias in the penal codes that she co-wrote in the 1970's.

It was clear as day what she was talking about. She cited the pending bill about rape. It wasn't a short bill and only at the end did it reveal that some senators wanted the consent age to be lowered to 12. She was not addressing the age of consent that the Senate bill touted. Her focus was on gender language in the penal code. Whether she is right or wrong on that - I don't care.

Do you really believe we have a Supreme Court Justice - and a female at that - who believes adult men and women should be having sex with 12-year-olds? And would say that in writing?

She didn't say it.

And what was disgusting to me was that some of our politicians in the Senate WANTED the consent age lowered to 12 in 1973.

If I do have something stuck in my craw - and I do - is memes that share no credible primary or secondary source and pass it off as truth.

That's all.
