I’m John de Nugent, a former US Marine who was on major television until 2010, when I was totally banned from all major media. People sometimes remember my voice, but cannot recall any more where they heard it or saw me, but possibly you heard or saw me on the Discovery Channel or the nightly news on NBC, CBS or ABC, or on FOX with the late Alan Colmes.
On February 24th, there were 7 million search results on my name on Google.
My site is hacked 24/7/365 by hirelings of the American Deep State. I have had to sell my paid-off house and cars, the valuable things you see here,
and spend thousands of dollars out of my own pocket to fund a webmaster capable of stopping the massive, illegal hacking attacks and keep my website going. I was not ready to start my movement until now, so I paid for this largely myself in the past.

I wish to discuss first-off our English word “true.” It actually has two meanings: 1) to be factually accurate, and not a lie; and 2) a somewhat related meaning of being loyal, steady, and trustworthy, as in Elvis Presley’s hit song.
“Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true” (0:16-23)
(3) Elvis Presley – Don’t Be Cruel (Official Lyric Video) – YouTube
In German the related word “treu” actually means “loyal.” A true love means the person’s feeling for you is real, unwavering, and profound.
And so it is in this double meaning of both real and loyal that we find this line from Shakespeare’s great play “Hamlet.” I am using here a photo of Mel Gibson as the famous prince of Denmark.
But Hamlet wavered and hesitated to act when he learned the awful truth that his father, the king of Denmark, actually had been murdered. In fact, it was the new king, his uncle, who had committed the murder, perhaps by smothering his father with a pillow, which was a good way back then to murder an older man. “He died in his sleep,” the murderer would then say, acting sad.
But this hesitation by Hamlet, who himself should have killed his uncle, and then rightfully become king, brings about a general disaster, and the entire royal family of Denmark perishes. The truth is that immediate action, not endless mental debates, is sometimes needed. As Hamlet says, “conscience doth make cowards of us all.”
It should be added that the word “conscience,” in the English of 400 years ago, also meant endless thinking, endless mulling things over while the clock is ticking.
I am guilty of many crimes, but not of hesitation, and most of all my crime has been saying taboo things, and stating forbidden truths.
One such taboo is this, to point out something in plain sight that is alarming if you just think about it. So if you have your wallet or purse nearby, and a one-dollar bill in it, please take this one-dollar bill out.
Here are the front and the back. This design has not changed since 1935.
Every other bill has been constantly modified. This was the ten-dollar bill, for example, when Bill Clinton was president in 1993:
And this is it today, and almost every single detail, plus the color of the paper itself, have at least somewhat changed:
But the one-dollar bill never changes, and why is that?
Because if strange symbols from the old one-dollar bill were put right back on the new one-dollar bills, people would notice and for the first time in their life, ask “Why are these symbols on American money?”
You might start to get very concerned and question everything that has been going on to radically change this country since Franklin Roosevelt became president in 1933.
This was the OLD back of the one-dollar bill, in 1930, before President Franklin Roosevelt, with nothing unusual on it.
In 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was a high Freemason as well as being part-Jewish via both his mother and his father, ordered the back of the one-dollar bill changed. He actually redesigned the Great Seal of the United States of America, like the coat of arms of the USA, and put this new Great Seal he had cooked up on the back of the dollar.
His father was of German-Jewish ancestry, a Rosenfeld, his mother of Spanish-Jewish ancestry, a Delano. As for Masons, he was a 32-nd degree Mason, and a member of the Holland Lodge of Masons in New York City.
This was the 1935 order by FDR, approiviong the design but switching the pyramid to the left side and the eagle to the right.
And here it is, again, and unchanged since 1935, almost 90 years ago:
Now let us look more closely at these symbols, and my taboo claim that they symbolize that the United States is not a democracy at all, a rule of the people, but is controlled by two very small groups of very evil men whose true goal is to gradually enslave us, and then, getting full control, physically exterminate 90% of us and have a master-slave society of a few thousand billionaires and multi-millionaires the rest of us are miserable peasants who just work eat and sleep — the exact opposite of what the great Thomas Jefferson wanted in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Instead, they want for us death, slavery and the billionaires are happy.
Let me prove this:
On the left we see a pyramid, a watching eyeball with a dark eye-color, and Latin phrases above and below.
Since there are no pyramids in America, this is a Freemasonic symbol.
You see it also in the new currency in Ukraine. In 2014 the American CIA overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine, and installed a puppet government, which was extremely anti-Russian.
Every president since then has been jewish — Poroshenko and Zelensky, plus the mayor of the capital, Klitschko, Kiev, and most of the prime ministers.
Jews are only 2% of the Ukrainian population, but they rule everything and they steal everything. Ukraine is rated internationally as both the poorest and also the most corrupt major country in Europe.
And to honor their ally, the Freemasons, these Ukrainian jews actually put the pyramid and eyeball right on their money, the hryvnia. Of course, there are no pyramids in Ukraine, but there are many jews at the top with dark eyes, like Zelensky himself.
He had a big comedy show on Ukrainian tv, Quartal 95, and he did many things such as cross-dressing.
He said cocaine was wonderful.
Here he is with his comedy team, pretending to play an electric piano with their penises.
Here it is, 500 hryvnia from Vladimir Zelensky, worth around $13. I added the three dots.
Going back to the US one-dollar bill, it has two Latin phrases.
They are “annuit coeptis” up top, and “novus ordo seclorum” underneath. I studied Latin, and don’t let anyone lie to you. These are the true meanings.
Annuit coeptis, means “our plan having succeeded.” What this refers to is that in 1776, not only did America declare its independence, but over in Germany, the Illuminati order, an order of Satan worshippers, was created by the jewish banker Meyer Amschel Rothschild in Germany, using the Bavarian jew Adam Weishaupt.
This secret society was designed to infiltrate and take over Freemasonry and turn it into a weapon for, drumroll, jews to rule the world.
Want proof? On the other side of the US dollar, President Franklin Roosevelt, real name Rosenfeld, changed the stars above the American eagle to form a Star of David.
Here is the one-dollar bill again, before Rosenfeld….
And now look at your dollar bill, and you will see what I mean.
There is it, plain as day if you have the spiritual courage to accept what your eyeballs are trying to tell you.
This is the Israeli flag with the Star of David, and this flag is being projected over the building known as 10 Downing Street, the office of the prime minister of Britain.
Here you see how the symbols of Freemasony, the circle and compass, fit right into the Star of David.
By the way, the stars above the American eagle used to be different, before President Frank Rosenfeld. Like real stars in a real constellation, they were scattered in a random pattern.
Here is an early example of that.

The eye watching us being dark symbolizes that a non-white people is watching us, a people from the Middle East. Two-thirds of our presidents have had blue eyes, because most white Americans are from English, Irish, German Dutch or Scandinavian ancestry. In fact, Barack Obama was the first president in our generation with dark eyes.
So some people with brown or black eyes is observing us, its prey.
My worst thought-crime is saying that whit people should have some rights too in this country, in this nation of America that used to be so great when I was a boy, a land which our ancestors built up with their sweat and fought for with their blood. My people came here from England in 1635, and helped found Rhode Island, the first colony of the thirteen with religious freedom.
The Baptists believed it was morally wrong to baptize babies, because this was forcing a little infant into a religion. “§Let the kid grow up, become an adult, and make his own choice.” So my ancestor, Thomas Angell, and both my mother and my father descend from him in different branches, gave land from his apple orchard in Providence, Rhode Island for the first Baptist church in all of North America. The poor Baptists were being literally burned alive in Europe for refusing to baptize their babies, and Thomas felt that was totally wrong. So he gave the land for this church.
This is Angell Stret in Providence, Rhode Island.
While at Georgetown University, I joined the US Marine Corps Reserve, following in my father’s footsteps, who fought at the battle of Iwo Jima…
and later was severely wounded as an officer in Korea.
And I said the same oath he did, “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
These are the most beautiful words ever written: “We the people.” It means the government should fear the people, and not the people the government, as now.
Even Donald Trump; a bilLionaire and former president, has to fear the government, that he will be bankrupted, or thrown in jail, if not killed.
And as for Robert Kennedy, Junior, running for president and polling around 24%, he has to fear because the Biden White House has denied him Secret Service protection — a man whose own father and uncle were assassinated! I lived for 18 years in Washington DC, an island of wealth, and believe me, these men there do think of the rest of the country as peasants, as fly-over country.
No wonder this song has 120 million views, “Rich men north of Richmond”:
[use 2:00 “Living in” to 2:33 “north of Richmond”]
(3) Oliver Anthony – Rich Men North of Richmond (Lyric Video) – YouTube
As I say, I and every veteran promised we would defend this Constitution against both foreign and domestic enemies. And it would seem that for these domestic enemies, I am a pretty dangerous man. White people aren’t supposed to have any rights anymore — and you never see on tv or in any ad a normal white family any more. Alex Jones just made this point. White women these days on tv only go with a black guy. If the husband IS white, then he is portrayed only as being a wuss and a fool. His wife and kids have no respect for him and show him none.
Right along with this, the Obamas, Barack and Michelle, just put out a major movie on Netflix, entitled “Leave the World Behind.”
See for yourself: “Executive producers: Barack and Michelle Obama”
It is directed by a muslim from Egypt.
It is based on a novel by another muslim, who is from Bangladesh. It is about how white America sucks.
Speaking of countries “sucking,” I might actually think of modern Egypt and Bangladesh, remembering how President Trump once referred to certain countries as being, ahem, “manure-holes.”
In this movie by the Obamas, Ethan Hawke plays a white male wuss and a fool who can’t do anything right. I guess some white people these days will do anything for money or for another acting gig. He actually says “I am a useless man.”
The black homeowner, played by an actor from California whose last name is Gilmore but who calls himself “Mahershala Ali,” is always dominant, as the white wife notes. Of course, the Obamas cast a 6’1″ black actor against the white Ethan Hawke, who is 5’10”. Every little detail counts here.
So his white wife, played by Julia Roberts, OF COURSE ends up in the arms of a black man; like all black men, he is suave, highly educated, and a wealthy man.
Let’s face it: The media and the government have just one message for the white folks:
Just pay your taxes, cracker, shut up, feel guilty for the fact of being white, and all the slaves somebody else owned 160 years ago, and if we abnd the government push it, then go off yet again to fight and die in the next stupid war, or come back as a wreck with PTSD and in a wheelchair — we really don’t care.
And this is why….
The messaging continues:
Oh, and since you white soldiers obeyed us media and politicians so well and marched off to Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan — three defeats in a row –, now get ready for some real fun.+
We’re working on a nice little war you’ll love with two teeny-tiny little countries, very weak, so no worry.
The one pushover country is called “Russia,” and the other is called “China,” yeah, the one with 1.4 billion disciplined people, excellent public schools, no racial conflicts, almost zero racial diversity, and a booming economy, unlike America.
We, the media and government, guarantee you white boys:
A war with Russia and China will be a blast.
I’m going to play here soon a great clip from the courageous and cool Joe Rogan. He may not agree at all with certain views of mine, or want to admit in public that he does, and this is in order to protect his career and avoid being “cancelled.”
I, however, do agree 100% with his views in this clip, and those of the other host in the black baseball cap in this clip.
For the needle has indeed moved, and the American people are waking up that something is super-seriously wrong, and, as Joe Rogan and his friend say, on so many issues the seemingly crazy Alex Jones was right all along.
He was a prophet, especially about the pedophile elites, and Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell, and vaccines. And he was right about the smooth yet psychopathic Bill Clinton, who, with Epstein’s help, graduated from raping his own adult female staffers to having sex with minor teenage girls.
Of course, Alex Jones never dares say both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell just happened to be jewish, and that they worked for the Mossad, the Israeli secret police, using the offer of sex with minors to get blackmail on rich American VIPs, such as Bill Clinton.
Does Alex ever say that Ghislaine’s father, Robert Maxwell, real name being Jan Hyman Hoch, was a Mossad agent, too? No.
As for Ghislaine’s daddy, it was okay that this jewish billionaire stole hundreds of millions of British pounds from his own companies’ pension funds in England. But he did not obey his orders from the Mossad, and that was his big mistake. It murdered him in 1991, or, rather, he fell off his own yacht, you see. This is a good book about this Israeli Mossad agent who was Israeli agent Ghislaine’s father.
Oh, by the way, former Microsoft head Bill Gates’ mother’s maiden name was Maxwell, too.
Maxwell can be a genuine Scottish name, but, Wikipedia says:
“The surname Maxwell is also used as a Jewish surname, either as an adoption of the Scottish name, or as an Americanization of one of several like-sounding Jewish surnames.”
This was Mary Maxwell in her college years as a University of Washington student:
This is Bill Gates’ sister:
In some photos Bill Gates looks incredibly jewish, though he is said to be of British and German stock. And Miss Mary Maxwell’s son is the one who wants to force everyone to be vaxxed.
That smirk of his, and the proudly nerdy look say
“I am Mr. Harvard, Mr. Super-Intelligent; for me, you’re a peasant, a shmuck.”
I read a report once saying that his glasses get so greasy and hairy that at meetings, when he gestures with his glasses and then lays them down, a secretary smoothly grabs them, heads for the restroom, and there cleans them off with hot soap and water, then replaces them quietly so Gates has no idea they were abducted and sanitized.
Interesting nose, anyway…
Here are Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, dressing up as a US Navy SEAL, and Ghislaine Maxwell. Their only crime, in the eyes of the Mossad, was not sex with minors, but getting caught.
Here is President Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 private jet, probably discussing the fine work of the Clinton Foundation with this, oh, I guess, what, 46-year-old, wealthy donor. The Clinton motto: Rules for thee, not for me.
Now, when the media and government were ridiculing Alex Jonesfor talking about the pedophilic elite, and they were lying away all those years — to whom were they lying?
They were lying to you, the American people.
The crazy thing was calling Jones crazy.
The other crazy thing was people still believing the media and the government. It has been lying to us all our lives. It was lying a century ago, to get us into WWI, “the war to end all wars.” My great-uncle Herbert Dodge, who was an Army solder and got poison-gassed in that war and thereafter spoke with a croaking voice, told me of that slogan, and laughed in cynical disgust.
“It was ‘the war to end all wars,’ John, ‘the war to end all wars,’ the newspapers and President Wilson said as they drafted us.”
Did you know the biggest American newspapers, such as the New York Times and Washington Post, invented pure lies, pulling slanders out of thin air, if not some other place, to get gullible Americans to enlist in WWI, concoctions about German atrocities. The prestigious American newspapers all said Germans were supposedly raping Belgian nuns.
Here we see how we should join the US Navy and “kill the Krauts” because, as you can see here clearly, the evil Kaiser of Germany, wearing his full crown of jewels, with a whip in his hand, has just raped that poor Belgian girl. What more proof do you need?
Oh, and the New York Times told us the Krauts were cutting hands off Belgian babies, and spearing other babies on bayonets. Again, this pencil drawing is all the proof you need to cross the country and then the Atlantic Ocean to kill a German.
Oh, and they crucified Canadian soldiers….. Right in the middle of combat on the battlefield, the Germans took time out, with a mallet and spike, to nail Canadians to trees.
Somehow it became sinister that the word “culture” in German was spelled with a “k,” as “Kultur,” and the newspapers and government latched onto that…. so the Germans, while their symphonic orchestras played Beethoven, Bach and Brahms, were killing sweet young French moms and their little girls.
After WWI it came out that it was all deliberate, defamatory, vicious, slanderous lies.
It was all based on stupid drawings…but it worked.
Yes, it worked on the average Joe….
…but also on Harvard types, men with college educations. A Major George Paton was over there to eagerly kill Germans, and so was a Captain Harry Truman, and a novelist named Ernest Hemingway.
But while the atrocity stories were totally false, what was true was that now 97,000 gullible Americans were dead as a doornail, hundreds of thousands were mutilated, and even more had PTSD, including my late wife’s grandfather Davis….He never recovered mentally from the horrors of that unnecessary war. And my great-uncle Herbert spoke for the rest of his life with a horrible croaking sound.
I will skip over the fact that the media and government lie machine continued during WWII. But the media and government have been lying in very high gear since they killed John Kennedy, in 1963, since he had been blocking the lies and was now gone.
I remember that day. The principal came on the loudspeaker and his voice was shaking. He cancelled classes and sent us kids home. Nobody could work that afternoon. People were crying. Everybody felt like John-John that day.
People were even weeping on the street in Soviet Russia.
Our beautiful, brave, brilliant, strong but peace-loving president, rightt in front of his sweet wife, who was of French ancestry, a Bouvier, was shot in the throat and the head, and part of his brain flew into the air and landed on the limo’s trunk, and this was because the shot came from the front.
John Kennedy had been a bona fide Navy war hero.
Though a multi-millionaire, and as came out later, he was also very, very sick all of his life with Addison’s disease, and functioned on steroids and strong painkillers, he joined the armed forces in WWII and, rejecting a billet as an intelligence officer, demanding combat duty. He fought like any other American citizen and directly against the Japanese.
One night, Officer Kennedy’s ship, a patrol-torpedo boat, was cut in half and sunk in the middle of the night by a Japanese destroyer, with three of his 12 sailors killed.
Kennedy swam three miles through shark-infested waters, towing a man with his flotation belt in his teeth, to save him.
As the skipper, he then led his crew to an island to avoid captivity under the Japanese, because 40% of American prisoners of the Japanese died. This island, however, had no food or water, the Japanese were hunting for them, and the Navy had ended the search.
In this crisis, Skipper Kennedy himself swam past the sharks to yet another island, found a native islander, and gave him a coconut with a message he had carved on it, which the islander brought to an Australian coastwatcher with a radio, who then radioed the US Navy, and Kennedy and his surviving crew were rescued.
There is an accurate movie about all this, “PT-109.”
John Kennedy symbolized America at its best.
And Lyndon Johnson America at its worst. Here he is in Dallas, Texas, glowering at JFK an hour before his murder:
America loved John Kennedy and his beautiful wife and kids.
My parents met his wife, Jacqueline, a fellow Rhode Islander from Newport, seen here with John-John.
Jackie was a good mother, and he a devoted father.
They shot John right in front of his own wife, which, back then, even the Mafia would not normally do.
But then the government under Johnson, who hated Kennedy, slandered and murdered the totally innocent, patriotic US Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald.
The LBJ government also got us into Vietnam, where 57,000 Americans died for nothing in an unwinnable war. It was justified to fight communism, but the truth is that this war could not be won, because in WWII the US was allied with the Soviet Union. The Germans got to the gates of Moscow, but we and England helped Stalin defeat the anti-communist Germany.
Then the trouble spread as communism, which we had saved in very bad karma, took over Eastern Europe, China, North Korea, North Vietnam, and Cuba.
Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy all knew the Vietnam War would be unwinnable, but Johnson did not care.
Vietnam also had incredible heat and humidity, like a sauna.
It was full of poisonous snakes….
….man-eating tigers who did kill and eat our men…..
…and gigantic bugs in Vietnam, like this centipede.
But tens of thousands of brave American GIs, especially Army infantry and Marines, 90% of them white boys, fought bravely and well on the jungle roads,
in the rice paddies,
….Navy and Coast Guard sailors searching for the enemy up and down the rivers,
….and penetrating into communist tunnels underground with a knife and a pistol, and killing the communist enemy right in his own lair.
But so many of them came back messed up mentally from Vietnam, because it was all lies.
Sure, we put 500,000 good men into Vietnam, but victory was impossible. Communist North Vietnam had ten times that many men available with their reserves, and communists never care how many soldiers they lose.
And Red China and the Soviet Union were backing the North Vietname communists up with modern weapons, rockets and anti-aircraft missiles.
Believe me, those Soviet-Russian rockets and missiles were good, and they shot down a lot of our jets and our helicopter pilots.
Our chopper pilots were true heroes. They brought our troops in, which meant slowing down to a dead stop in an open field.
And they bravely evacuated our wounded. I read that 40% of these medevac pilots were killed themselves.
Here are some of the dead whose names are on the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Or our guys who did survive became physically sick for the rest of their life from the toxic Agent Orange, which President Johnson lied was harmless.
This chemical would cut down trees and whole jungles, but LBJ said do not worry. Sixty years later, it is still causing Vietnamese babies to be born with severe birth defects.
The Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC is one of the most somber war memorials anywhere on earth, listing by name all the men who died. There are several Nugents on there. In the 18 years I lived in the DC area, I went there almost every year. The number of 57,000 dead is just that, a number, but when you see each name, you feel how each one was an individual who lived like we do and had loved ones.
Lyndon Johnson also restricted gun rights.
He started the welfare state…. as, once again, in this mega-hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond”
1:18 (“Lord, we got”) to 1:35 (“bags of fudge rounds”)
(9) Oliver Anthony – Rich Men North of Richmond (Lyric Video) – YouTube
And he backed all the black militant demands. From Johnson and Nixon on, you had to hire blacks, like it or not;
you had to rent your apartment or sell your house to them, even if you had a nice, safe, white neighborhood before this.
And white public schools had to integrate, meaning school buses were bought by the hundreds of thousands to import negro kids into white schools, and white kids were bussed against their will to black schools.
Here you see armed Boston motorcycle cops bringing school buses full of low-IQ negroes into nearly all-white and Irish South Boston, Massachusetts. I lived nearby when all this was happening….
….this in the formerly “Land of the free, and home of the brave”
Race riots ensured in many big cities, crime and drugs exploded, and Whites left the cities their ancestors had built, often quite nice, for the cookie-cutter suburbs. Blacks took over and ruined so many big cities, such as Detroit.
And remember, it was a white man who had paid a mortgage on this house and then, when the Blacks moved in, had to sell it quick for 80% off or even abandon it, unable to pay the real estate taxes.
Going back now to Lee Harvey Oswald, just one of the millions of little people in this country who were white and got shafted…Oswald, like most other Americans, actually revered and loved John Kennedy and his wife, Jaqueline. He volunteered for the CIA because he was patriotic, as many white Americans were. He loved novels about secret agents.
Right after John Kennedy was shot in front of his wife, they arrested Lee, framed him for killing both the president and a cop named Tippitt, and beat him.
And the media and government cranked out their slander how this man was a killer, and then they left him totally unprotected and moved him around, while denying him a phone call. He called a friend in Connecticut to urgently come and help him, but the jail guard actually never put the call through.
And then Jack Ruby was told to go into action and shoot Lee Oswald, and thus silence the man forever before he could prove his total innocence.
Ever meet anyone named Ruby? No, me neither. They never say that the real name of this Jack Ruby, an underworld figure who ran a Dallas strip club, was Jack Rubinstein.
And way back in 1963, those lies about the JFK assassination were flooding the entire media and even the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, Earl Waren, who was the head of the Warren Commission, lied, because he was afraid of Lyndon Johnson.
Then came the Vietnam lies, and then the Iraq lies, and how diversity and mass immigration were our strength.. and how black pride was good, and Indian pride, and gay pride…but of course, white pride, was terrible.
So who is really the crazy one, an Alex Jones who told the truth, and add to that now Joe Rogan, and Tucker Carlson — or the people who still believe this media and this government that have deliberately lied us into wars and other disasters, and have destroyed the family and the education system, and even relations between men and women, for over a century?
So here is the real issue, truth, and if we love ourselves enough to face it. For if you seek to escape from facing a dangerous reality, one that can take you down, you are just not loving yourself, but instead harming yourself, and to harm yourself is one of the medical definitions of being crazy.
Have you had a nurse ask you the routine question at intake:
“Have you ever thought of harming yourself?” They always ask this at veterans hospitals. If you answer yes, they might even put you, against your will, into the psych wing, give you tranquilizers, and keep you for observation. Because harming yourself is insanity. Our every instinct is to avoid pain and death; that is normal.
And to accept reality, to not fight what is real, is normal and is safe for you.
To deny reality is insane.
And yet it happens, all the time. People on this planet reject the truth and embrace delusions on a daily basis. Look at the choices they make.
How many men do not lose weight, and smoke and drink heavily and overeat, until they actually get chest pains or end up in the ER?
They KNOW they are harming themselves.
Why? No willpower?
They may have plenty of willpower in other areas, going punctually to work and doing a good job.
When people harm themselves, it is because they just do not truly love themselves, certainly not enough, which means not really.
Part of them is even willing to let things drift — and die.
And they do not see the truth as what it is, their best friend.
And yet even a baby step, one a day, into the truth should make you pat yourself on the back. In a world of suckers, you are breaking free.
Jack Nickolson, in one of the great scenes ever, in the movie “A Few Good Men,” plays a Marine Corps colonel, and is being interrogated by a Navy officer, played by Tom Cruise. It is a trial about a Marine who got beaten one night by other Marines for being a screw-up, and he accidentally died.
Here is the scene and the famous and brutal reply by Nickolson. I submit that this scene is so famous because of the truth issue, the central problem we all face.
0:00 [From “You want answers?” to “handle the truth”] to 0:03
You Can’t Handle the Truth! A Few Good Men With Subtitles (youtube.com)
And this is part of what Joe Rogan and his sidekick go into in this next clip…. how for decades Americans rejected and laughed at truths they now, more and more, accept, scary truths, and Joe reminds us that they ridiculed those citizens, really heroes, who had the guts to get up there and call a spade a spade, a truth the truth, a lie a lie, and a crime a crime, at great cost to themselves. and I will add that it takes love and courage to do this.
I will just add this. Novelist Ernest Hemingway was in WWI and in WWII. And he said something profound. Courage comes from love, and cowardice from a lack of love.
It means there is no country, no cause, no truth, and no person you would die for. Thus, there is nothing sacred that you live for.
And now to some deep things that Joe Rogan and his co-host say.
