Then why post at all, you say. For attention, someone suggests, which is amusing -- what, is it your first time on the internet or something? Are we all posting for some kind of prize? Everyone posting wants attention, to their ideas, their perceptions, their emotions, their philosophies, their religions, their politics -- that's the point of human interaction, to pay attention to these things about each other. Denigrating the very idea just makes you someone less interesting to interact with. It doesn't put you above the people who are trying to communicate with each other about matters which can (amazingly enough) be substantial and delicate at the same time.

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on. That's part of the reason I am here, to figure things out.

The post that refers to you seeking attention was from me. I still feel the same way as when I posted it before. Go back and read your own opening post.
You beg to ask if people would put their lives on the line by answering if they know something or if they don't. What makes you think that anybody in the know would answer the question to you honestly in an open forum that the entire world can read? Possibly putting themselves in danger.
While you have not said if you "KNOW" anything definately or not, you are fishing, to see if anybody truely does.
And yes, your thread is amusing. It gives you no real answers from anybody, who would be telling you the truth anyway. You are not getting any information other that what you already think a persons answer might be.

You know better. You know if you're right, if the pieces you're putting together -- in lurkerland, or here in the trenches -- are fitting the way you're seeing them fit, then unless you're ready to die you couldn't possibly risk posting about it on the internet. You might even feel it's too dangerous to talk to anyone about at all.
I just want to know, yes or no -- do you fit this description? Are you someone who is seeing, understanding, and knowing better than to speak? If you are then you'll know what I mean, and if you don't know what I mean, then you are not...paying...attention.

So for those of you who are "in the know," would you say we're living in the most sensitive times in recent history (vague time-frame I know) or are we nowhere close to "the great definitive event?" Whatever said event may be can you elaborate at least to its intended or eventual purpose?

's all tied up with ribbon and has been for a long time. Anyone who tries to sell you a line about it is either too deep inside it to see out, or part of the game. And the game is actually now overoccupied with players, that's part of why it's leaking at the seams.
