I personally believe that We The People as a whole have become much better at discernment between what’s real and what’s fake. I take every “breaking story” with a grain of salt & give the cycle a day or two for the evidence to reveal itself. I don’t need to wait long before a hoax is debunked or a truth is retruths by a reputable source. WE get it finally!
Excellent article, solid work and encouragement. I believe that God will never abandon our country because The United States of America is the beacon of Hope, Freedom, Liberty and endless opportunities. The founding fathers of America were deeply committed to Faith and the absolute guidance of Gods hand. The values of our Constitution and Bill of Rights has never been more threatened, those seeking to destroy have never come up against We the People of this great nation. Keep writing!
You're both right ! As a French, I wish we could have a "under God" Constitution as well-written as yours, but that's not the case !
That's why I do HOPE President Donald Trump AND YOU, The American People will carry high and proudly the colors of all the foreign people who are watching and supporting you fight for OUR liberty !
Refreshing to read your words. I do like your numbers and %. They are very close to mine.
I have Christ in front of me, behind me, to the right and left of me, below and above me.
With Christ centered in your heart, treat every person or situation you interact with the intention of love. If you do that, you will come away from that meeting clean and fresh.
I am winning. You Erik are winning, most of us are winning. Many of the “losers” are starting to “win” also.
Winning is becoming more aware of what is happening in your life, becoming more organic, natural, spirit centered ascending towards our next step as humans.
I think of a blade of grass pushing through tarmac or even concrete. It’s how I see truth, nothing can stop it, it cannot be defeated. The ‘news’ is just noise and best ignored. Read a book, go for a swim.
Well done and written. Yes, there is a lot of gaslighting going on, no matter what platform one is on. The only "side" I am on is Good. I so dislike massive amounts of labels that both sides use. They divide us even more, really.
Finding verification is getting harder and harder each day. They are even scrubbing the Wayback Machine of data and "proof" with links and citations. For me personally, it means the parasites are losing deep and hard to make such a desperate move. They are also trying to insert false "histories", which the majority of Mankind's history is a load of puppy bomb.
Whether someone believes me or not makes no difference to me. If they disagree, I agree to disagree & move on. Everyone has made their choices in this battle. You cannot convince anyone to open their eyes anymore. The fallout when the veil finally drops from their senses will be rather ugly, but it was their choice to make, yes? Our Supreme Being, Source, helps those who help themselves, yes?
Great article Erik...unfortunately gaslighting is needed to shock people into waking up and GET INVOLVED in fixing our country. Regardless of who did what, voted for or supported. We made this mess with our free will choices. One anchor on RAV asked what will happen when Title 42 expires, and I replied, the same thing that has been happening for 2 years, just now itll be publicized. In my opinion, it needs to be gas lit, bc there are still way too many people who are self centered, living under their safe umbrella, oblivious to the reality of what has become of our country and the corrupt evil agenda has accomplished. I live in a small town one city away from 2 sanctuary cities on both sides. I low key hope there will be an increase in illegals brought in. Bc that will help WAKE these fence sitters and comatosed to the truth. Sounds crazy, but they have to see for themselves!!!
Gaslighting is like a gun, it can be used for different things. To murder someone, to protect your family or to hunt. Gaslighting can be used for good and bad.
I think / wish you could add a "preambule" at the head of your article, where you could give us the best "clear" definition of "gaslighting" !
Many among us (and more if you're a foreigner like me) seem to have a hard way to really understand this word, and several end arguing although they eventually ... make your own point !
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation and control, where the perpetrator deliberately feeds false information to the victim, causing them to question their own reality, memory, and sanity. This manipulation can be used to gain power over the victim, either for the gaslighter's enjoyment or to exert control over them emotionally, physically, or financially. Gaslighting tactics often start with simple lies, which gradually become more complex and potent, making it increasingly difficult for the victim to discern the truth. The term "gaslighting" originates from the 1938 play "Gas Light" and its film adaptation, where a husband tries to convince his wife that she is hallucinating, thereby manipulating her perception of reality [1][3].
Gaslighting can be learned, often through witnessing or experiencing it oneself. It may arise from a need to dominate others and can be used as a defensive mechanism in arguments to deflect responsibility and gain control. The purpose of gaslighting is to cause emotional confusion, shake the victim's confidence, lower their self-esteem, and make them dependent on the gaslighter. This form of manipulation is particularly effective in relationships where there is an unequal power dynamic or when the victim has shown respect to the gaslighter [3][5].
In psychiatry and psychology, gaslighting is sometimes used to describe a conscious intent to brainwash, with cases reported where gaslighting was used to secure involuntary commitment to psychiatric hospitals or to gain financial gain. However, the term is considered a colloquialism by the American Psychological Association and is sometimes misused to refer to conflicts and disagreements, which can dilute its usefulness and make it more difficult to identify the specific type of abuse [5].
It is happening right now in NYC and sounds like Chicago... only crazed lefties would believe that they can implement policies like that and pay no price. NYC Mayor Adams has now been red-pilled, though he will try (in good leftie fashion) to blame someone, ANYONE else. Trump for instance. 'Orange man bad.'
The truth will win.
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself." ― Augustine of Hippo
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” -- John 8:31-32 (NASB)
Very well put, Erik! I’m comfy, but so many of my otherwise conservative friends are so black-pilled. It is exhausting, at times, to keep lifting them up out of their doom, but I believe that’s my roll and my mission in this 5GW, so I. Happy to do it! Thanks for all you do for this community!
I’m pretty sure that’s not at all what Erik is doing. I experience it every day. Some of my friends are able to turn everything that happens into a negative, no matter what how much of a victory it actually is. Prime example: Roe v Wade overturned....an undeniable victory, yet my friends could only see the negative....”nothing is gonna change here in California”. True,. For now.. But it’s a major step in the right direction, and they just don’t see it.....or as I believe, they just don’t WANT to see it. They’d rather mock me for taking the victory instead. It’s truly exhausting dealing with doomers, but I never give up. I know that if they could just open their eyes and see what I see, they’d be comfy like me too, and that’s why I never give up on my friends despite their constant attempts to drag me down into their abyss of negativity. Have faith, my friend. NCSWIC
You write well, make it understandable, and try to find a second source, which has stopped me from using a link in what beginner writing I do. With computers, you can virtually do anything today, not like when people had to write code. Yes, I remember the old Commodore 64. Never learned to write code. Didn't want to either.
Computer code is like any language. It is a tool. Learning 'to code' in and of itself is a rather boring and frustrating exercise. As with a spoken language, first you have to find something you want to say.
I always advise people who think they want to be 'coders' to first find problems that are interesting to them, for which a computer program is an appropriate tool. I have been 'coding' since 1972 (when it was called 'computer programming') but always in my professional life, for reasons that involved solving a real problem for somebody. Tens of thousands of products containing code I wrote have been sold and used to solve peoples' problems. I don't write code 'just for fun' because writing good code is hard work, and not particularly rewarding on its own.
That explains your very concise responses! Good on you! I like solving problems and spent an entire career having to figure out how to do that. There wasn’t a lot of teaching from others, but having to figure things out did keep the analytical side working as well as the creative. I’m thankful for all who could master code; as it wasn’t my strong suit.
Figuring things our for yourself is always the best way to learn. Guidance from a few 'gurus' along the way can be helpful (saving time from going down the wrong rabbit-holes too often), but too much of it short-circuits the normal learning patterns from which knowledge is truly learned, rather than facts regurgitated. The more energy we put into solving a problem, the greater the impact it has on our long-term cognitive skills and future problem-solving abilities. As it appears you have also found 💖🙏
There are a lot of us who read what you have to say and it’s excellent! Writers who can relate by writing things in a different manner is refreshing; that’s why we continue to read your thoughts! Plus, your straightforward approach and well thought out observations using, good old plain common sense is also refreshing! This advice says it all; “My anchor is the belief, faith, confidence and understanding that God would never abandon me, my family or my country. With this understanding, every situation that appears to be bad or going in the wrong direction, or instills hopelessness, shake it off. Accept that bad things need to occur for our nation to get to the other side. This isn’t to make excuses or justify the evil that has occurred and is still occurring, but this is just to say, God can turn every act of evil into something good.” He does exactly that all the time! You are one of the warriors especially gifted by God for this role in this time! We the people must put God back into our country. Thank you and God bless you!🙏
Thank you, Sir. Very clear and concise message which I think I needed to hear. You pointed out some things which make perfect sense, but I hadn't really thought of. For one: I know that I'm guilty of often posting information that I probably shouldn't because I haven't seen any confirmation of it anywhere. I intend to try and curb the impulse to rush through articles and automatically post them, in the future. Second: I've stopped following that "prominent person" who broke the George Soros death myth because, after I thought about it I realized that he's never posted anything that really mattered to me anyway. Third, and just a personal confirmation: I noticed the word "Renton" in your bio. This is a 'Sign' (coincidence) to me that I should sit up and take notice because I have/had family in a town called Renton, since my birth. It has played a big part in my life. So, I just followed you on TS and I look forward to hearing more of your musings in the future. Thank you again. MJL (LoboGreyWolf)
Well said. God first. The world has gone absurd devastating yet day to day we live lives reading watching listening. Glad you think more people are awake. Real vs Fake we only know what we read.
Good wins coming. Trump was masterful on cnn.
We are in war. No longer are we fighting ghost.
I pray the Patriots WE the People awake keep living the very best God centered family centered country that provides liberty and justice for all. White supremacy indeed, the world power lords are all white since when does skin color matter? Since when does a fake president mandate fake vaxxines for a virus no one isolated with a contrived fake insurrection. This is treason. Sedition. Let’s hope more people are Red pilled and refrain from being
Led astray being black pilled.
As far as demoralization goes that is sad.
Personally I am insulted by what the mainstream news spews.
Reason why I am here. I am no genius either. I read as many substack and emails I can. However I believe in Gods Grace and answered prayers.
The enemy is no longer at the gate but inside the walls and levels of authority in every profession.
It will get worse. We draw closer to God. We assert Truth as our sword. Faith feeds our fierceness. We came for this fight prepare. Best one can do is take charge of your own kin home and pray. Pray no nuclear war. No second mysterious virus. All hell May break sir. Desperate men do desperate deeds.
I am done being gas lit. I must admit in 3 years everything has changed. Talking about autism talking SIDS talking medical legal social media
The whole current administration are characters in a twisted twilight zone. Drag queens in kindergarten pedophilia mania adrenochrome
Bud light and Disney and Fox and black rock everything gets revealed. People wake or don’t.
I’ve decided they got to figure it out on their own.
No one can deny we have a handicapped man acting president. Fetterman Feinstein man the democrats mock us. God will not be mocked.
I personally believe that We The People as a whole have become much better at discernment between what’s real and what’s fake.

Yes, you can acknowledge things are really bad without losing hope and faith.
Agreed!other countries are watching,we need to stand strong 💪 for humanity ❤️
Hello Kathleen and Kathy ! 🙋🏼♂️🇫🇷
You're both right ! As a French, I wish we could have a "under God" Constitution as well-written as yours, but that's not the case !

Well, tell the Christian church that. All I hear is that America is being destroyed because of her sins.
Geez. They have even preached this message that in Revelations . It is America who is the whore.
Well stated! I needed to hear your words.🙏❤️🇺🇸
Erik,

Exactly. If one believes they aren’t being gaslit, it’s likely they are the one most gaslit.
Like the parable of the mustard seed. 🕊️❤️🙏🏻
Another eye opening article Erik. Appreciate the time you take to produce amazing work.
