Consensus vs. Evidence

In a better world, the only thing a person would say to another person would be “Jesus.”  

For example, someone would ask someone else, “Which way is the 43^rd?”  And the second person would answer, as he should, “Jesus.”  

When another person is asked, the answer will be slightly different: 

First Guy, shaking his head, asks someone else, “Do you know which way is the 43^rd?”  That third person will say, “Jesus Christ.”  

But I shouldn’t let fantasies of a better world distract me.  I should focus on stopping Istism.  

Faith

Those stupid Ists say that the official stories include many things that are not true.  They say that these things do not have evidence to support them; people did not even have to lie about evidence of these things to make them popular, but only to express how these things are very popular.  You have been told repeatedly that these things are thought true by many people considered very intelligent and very knowledgable, such as men of God who believe there was a Passion.  Based on popularity alone, you learn that you are supposed to believe these things, and a population of Europeoids conditioned by Legacy Christianity has supported these stories as true.  

If you want to truly understand faith, find a wall, believe it is a doorway, and then close your eyes and walk through that doorway.  Was there free cake on the other side?  Many such things are so constant and compelling, and so easily discernible, that we learn in infancy that to make decisions based on evidence is good; that it is something we want to do.  If you don’t believe that, go and take the elevator to the very top of a tall building.  Close your eyes, have a passionate prayer of true love to Jesus, and have faith that an escalator connects to the edge of that tall building and carries you up to the clouds to be with Jesus.  

Driven by faith in the LORD, walk onto that escalator to meet Jesus.  (Jesina reminds that you shouldn't worry about the height; if you slip, angels will pick you up and carry you to Jesus.  He will be with all good men [and there are great activities for the ladies, too!] and you will be brought to a nice place after that with great desserts that don’t add calories.)  

Consensus

Have you ever seen many people do something stupid because they saw other people doing it?  How about if they simply heard that other people were doing it?  That is a way to make things popular.  Evidence, such as giving people samples of a treat they might like, works.  But then you have to give away a lot of free treats, pay people to hand them out, deal with annoying kids throwing the treats at each other instead of letting some rich bloke try them, and so on.  Worse yet, that is only at one place!  What if everyone doesn’t go there?  Also, that one place might be in just one area, as one places tend to be.  To make things even more bad, people might not feel like a treat then, might’ve had a big meal and be full or be looking forward to a big meal and not want to spoil their appetite, and so forth.  

The way to deal with these problems is by creating a consensus.  There are lots of ways to do this, and one of the best ways is to pretend that there is already a consensus.  For example, if you want people to believe that White guys who talk about tradition should never be listened to, you can create a product where guys wearing white makeup and/or costumes are really the ultimate bad things.  Think of, e.g., the Harry Potter or Star Wars movies, where the ultimate bad guy wore white accoutrements to demonstrate how evil he was getting through white magic, which is also known as non-colored-person magic (the head bad guy in Star Wars even had his flunkies wear uniforms that were all white).  

To make people get the point, you can make sure that every bookstore, public library, or theater-owner has your product front and center, and you can thus guarantee a lot of popularity.  The impression that, “Everyone else is reading this!” or “Everyone else is seeing this!” is immensely powerful.  That is why it became so important for the U.S. government to establish tax-funded libraries, and why movie theaters look to skimanagers ("movie industry professionals") to tell them what they should order.  People will be watching that--consensus.  Or if it starts with books, what to put up front.  There isn’t a day or so, at the start, where libraries or theaters pick whatever they feel like, which tends to be different stuff: they know ahead of time what they should order, what will be reviewed, and thus what will be popular.  

U.S. President Wilson broke his repeated promises and forced a lot of Usican White boys (“American white boys”) to go very far away and get killed in Europe.  People in the U.S.A. did not want this to happen, but some very important deals had been made.  Wilson won his disagreement against truth and made happen what he wanted.  Through random coincidence (as inexplicable as popular takes on evolution) that led to a second war, more Usican White boys got killed in Europe (and Asia too) and a new country got created.  So many people died but the official story said, like the expansion of Jesusianism, it was all for goodness.  In that case, because it stopped the world from being taken over by some bitter losers who had millions of their babies, kids, wives, and girlfriends etc. heroically bombed to death.  

Those wars turned out to have many weird coincidences.  No one was actually trying to invade the U.S. through Mexico.  At the time, though, the news said they were—it was called “the Zimmerman telegram.”  The entities who forged that telegram and told people Germany and Mexico were going to invade the U.S. were not found and stripped of power.  The official story doesn't mention that, implying that luckily, those people quietly went away and never did anything bad again.  That is why it is said we know that things after that were so honestly done.  Just as we can trust in Jesus, we can definitely trust our knowledge of what happened because the forces that did that just stopped doing things.  And what a nice coincidence that those were good wars to have anyway.  

When that happened (the Zimmerman Telegram event), the U.S. could have had a massive investigation.  It could have found the people who had done that, and set an example that involved seizing lots of assets and traitors getting hanged for trying to kill dozens of thousands of Americans.  Had it done that, there might have been no Tonkin Gulf Incident and no WMDs in Iraq.  People who wanted to make up ridiculous stories that got people killed would have had to change their behavior or go somewhere else.  The investigation would have determined that many journalists were criminally negligent and changed everything, and Usica would have stopped being dragged unwillingly into giant wars.  But this was not done.  Had it been, the world would be very different.
