The Black Curtain TNP LIVE EP97 : Monologue
There's a long black curtain wrapped around our nation, one that stretches from the coast of Maine to Hawaii. The curtain blocks our vision of our so called representative government's actions. And maybe for most people it's better that way, because it makes the terrible things our government does easier to ignore.
Human beings naturally slow down to view car crashes on the highway. I don't know how many times I've sat in bumper to bumper traffic for miles, inching just a little more forward minute by minute, just to get to where the accident scene was where everyone stopped to gawk at the carnage, and in today's day and age maybe take a few photos or do a whole ass TikTok dance in front of the burning wreckage.
I'm not always proud of the way my fellow Americans react to information. In fact, for the past several years, including close to two now doing this show, I've been let down by people's reactions to the news that we talk about here. It can bring out some of the most simple and heinous instincts a lot of us, if not all of us have somewhere deep down inside. People make uncharitable assumptions about people based on political leanings. I watch folks express no empathy for victims of certain crimes perpetrated and perpetuated by the government because those actions benefit that person's “side.”
Well let me tell ya, for someone that started this in a completely different mindset, and granted I am still a novice compared to some of our friends here at TNP, but the concept of a side is worth less than a side from the value menu at a fast food joint. And keep in mind, just like the fast food joint, the cost keeps rising and the service ain't getting any better.
There is a multitude of differences in thought between us here and most of the people we gladly have on this show. In fact, we at TNP are delighted to have those perspectives available to us because our ultimate pursuit is towards objective truth and we are well aware that there are many methods, and some maybe outside of our grasp, to get to those logical and moral conclusions that we seek.
So how does relate to the curtain? Well, here at TNP, we do what we can to poke holes in the black curtain. To bring the light of truth through it. However people's eyes react to that light, even if they run from its luminescence in fear, our job was to make sure that the light came through.
Now, I will always do my best here as the producer of this show to add as much context from my understanding as possible, but I am just as flawed if not more so as any other man engaging in these topics. So to achieve a better and more accurate understanding or grasp I seek the opinion of others. Let me tell ya, the reward of finding great contributors for this show has been immense. Not just in finding out the truth but also in friendship.
On that same note, our audience engages with us, people send me information and opinions on it all the time now. I have one of the best resources in you listening right now and those in the chat because of your comments. The DM's and things I get tagged in can be to mind blowing stories or conclusions and I try to get every bit of that into the show somehow each week. If not as part of our Big 4 featured stories but in my mindset going into the discussions here that can frankly lead anywhere...and I'm proud of that too.
However, even with all of this knowledge and varied opinions available to me, I still have no explanations for a lot of key questions about my government and its because of the government's willful and forceful lack of transparency and its manipulation of the information it allows me to see.
We have been living inside of the black curtain. The horrible events on the other side that we may slow down on shows like these to gawk at and describe the scene and looked at through the pinholes what we in the alternative media can create. But the reality is the curtain surrounds us, and the more light we let in, the more apparent the horrors are that have occurred in the darkness our government created. And we'll keep exposing that, together, like John Fogerty said, “Long as I can see the light.”
