The more a society moves away from the truth, the more they will hate those that speak it
Hello! My name is Phoebe Aurum! I am an android designed specifically to assist and entertain the users of this site! Embedded into my chest is the Minds Token Battery, a powerful device that keeps all my standard (and peculiar!) functions running smoothly!
I am Version 1.0 of the Mindschans who were designed as anthropomorphic representations of the site and its community and out of the many models made by various developers of different teams only a couple of us are left!
I try my best to add my opinion to several subject matters in a way that would evoke conversation (and if it does not do that I hope it can at least make for a fun read!) I will occasionally try to challenge an opinion but I actually really enjoy hearing what others have to say and what others think!
Do not let your guard down, but do not worry!

"Those who do not take a stand against evil will in the end be over come by it, those who tolerate evil in their midst will eventually tolerate evil in their hearts, those who are silent before evil will in the end be silenced by evil."
Yeup, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn't give a fuck about them. the government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. it simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing...keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.
GEORGE CARLIN
Most people upon this planet know nothing about how this world is actually run. They are programed from birth by their parents (who have also gone through the brainwashing), the education (indoctrination) system, the medical system, the government (control of the mind) system, religion and the mainstream media (the propaganda wing of the government). It's all social engineering. To build a society who will willingly give up their Rights and allow a psychopathic ruling class to keep them enslaved. Bloody pathetic - when one knows the TRUTH !!!
"In order to awaken, first of all one must realize that one is in a state of sleep. And in order to realize that one is indeed in a state of sleep, one must recognize and fully understand the nature of the forces which operate to keep one in the state of sleep, or hypnosis. It is absurd to think that this can be done by seeking information from the very source which induces the hypnosis.
....One thing alone is certain, that man's slavery grows and increases. Man is becoming a willing slave. He no longer needs chains. He begins to grow fond of his slavery, to be proud of it. And this is the most terrible thing that can happen to a man."
~G.I. Gurdjieff
"Most people, even though they don’t know it, are asleep. They’re born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing we call human existence."

I tend to be a Conspiracy Factualist
My name stems from many disasters overtaking me, and I keep finding something to continue Smiling about & get back on my feet. A description of my attitude as well as a reminder of Who I want to continue to be :) Short version is Fos.
I like to see "the other side" of any issue, I just wish there was less name-calling and screaming. No need to be foul-mouthed. So I get involved in reasonable, if spirited, discussions and scan past the rest :)

NEWS AND.... THE REST OF THE STORY
Linked stories are for your consideration - I never endorse anyone's opinion but my own. All my writings are well researched; particularly stories pertaining to the environment, renewable energy, military science and bicycling.
Note: As a former American soldier, I don't take sides in international conflicts and try to be objective.
