Tips for Truth Seekers from Mad Max

It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought, without accepting it.
– Aristotle

We all need to be alert to the deception that permeates to the depths of our very existence. In this Age of Information, there is a great deal of misleading information readily at hand; some intentionally misleading, and some accidental, but all misleading nonetheless. Our challenge is to wade through the lies and misinformation to arrive at the truth, the heart of a matter. Upon assembling enough pieces of truth, like a puzzle, the larger picture begins to come clear. This also will expedite future searches, though they be many. With that in mind, here are a few helpful hints by way of questions, to help along the way:

Does this divide?

• The stated agenda of those who are knowingly in league with evil is; Ordo Ab Chao – Order Out Of Chaos. If you see or hear something that is divisive in nature, chances are it is evil, and seeks to pit one class of people against another. Beware also of individuals who proclaim, "Follow me, I have the answer!" This is often used as the "antithesis" of controlled opposition. Ultimately, this also leads to a 'voice of one' controlling the masses, again inevitably resulting in pitting one class against another. See G. Edward Griffin’s works on collectivism vs. individualism, beginning with Part 1: The Chasm.

Am I wasting my time?

• Avoid specious argument, and beware of getting hijacked by useless info. As with a fiat currency, information can, and does today, suffer massive inflation; much is available, but as more is introduced, all becomes worth less. Since information today is less expensive and therefore more abundant than ever before, much of the material found today is simply a waste of time to explore. Beware of inflation of information, much of which is intentional, which would pull you off, swirling in an eddy of ineffectiveness, on your quest for truth.

Have I reached the source?

• As important as any other point is source material. Before making an accurate assessment of any salient point it is essential, whenever possible, to contemplate source documents.

Have I answered the 5 “W’s”?

• Every good journalist seeks to answer the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How of a story in order to find the facts and properly vet the story. The same is true for anyone seeking to get to the bottom of what is really going on in society today. Answer the five W’s, incorporating the aforementioned points, and you’ll be on your way to unraveling the mystery before you.

Dig deep, continue in the Truth.

• Last but certainly not least, read the Bible. What label you or others apply (Christian, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Protestant, atheist, deist, theist, no label, etc.) is of little or no import. What is significant is how right the Founders were in their admonition: It is impossible to enslave a Bible reading people. What you call yourself is not important. It is incumbent on every man to work out his salvation with fear and trembling. What matters is that the Bible is Truth, and therefore indispensable in the quest to root out what is wrong, and put the wrong things right.
