by Dave Hodges Cognitive dissonance is hastening the destruction of America. When I look around and see my friends and family, I almost get a sense of normalcy. I drive by my local fire station and the American flag is still flying. I witness police helping elderly motorists with a flat tire. My neighbors are nice and I (temporarily) have some money in the bank. On the surface, it seems like everything is normal. I am constantly reminded of how easy it would be to fall back into being a fat and happy sheep living in the pasture not knowing what lies ahead. It is hard not to be deceived by the thin veil of normalcy which covers the trend curve of unprecedented and tyrannical historical events which loom on the horizon. What I have been describing is a condition called “cognitive dissonance”. Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation. On some level, people with cognitive dissonance really know the truth, but accepting the truth would mean that the person would have to change their thinking and their actions. People who have cognitive dissonance want to maintain the life they have at any cost. It is a selfish and self-destructive act. In previous days, most of us in the Independent Media did not chastise those afflicted with cognitive dissonance, we thought that over time, our consistent message would bring you into real world of awareness. I think we succeeded in making many Americans aware, however, we did not move many from the cognitive dissonance crowd to action, but we accepted it. Well, I am not accepting this any longer. Many Americans know how bad things are but they keep hanging on as long as they can. This is no longer acceptable because you are working against the interests of your country, your family and ultimately your own survival. Totalitarian regimes need a significant degree of cooperation from the citizenry or they will not survive. The cognitive dissonance crowd is comprising a significant amount of that necessary support for tyranny to thrive. The Trump movement, no matter how imperfect, has given the American people something to rally around with regard to fighting back against tyranny. In my estimation, in order to win this political fight, we need the sound of marching feet. We currently have a shell movement but they don’t because of their addiction to their selfish cognitive dissonance. We need depth and volume in our movement and there are people out there who should be joining this movement. Unfortunately, if we as Americans are going to survive, we cannot tolerate the fence sitters, the people who Thomas Paine called the “Sunshine Patriots”. I am calling out the cognitive dissonance crowd for being the cowards that you are. You need to look in the mirror, check your manhood and act accordingly. Most of the cognitive dissonance crowd are sheep. However, I firmly believe that there strong people in this group who could add to the resistance. They just need to rediscover their manhood and become far less selfish. If you make the mistake that the aforementioned is merely a pep talk, please read the following, when Dave Hodges threw off the shackles of cognitive dissonance. “Don’t worry, no tatoos for you, you will get an implant instead.” Over 13 years ago, I was sitting in a Coco’s restaurant in Sun City, AZ., to meet with a coaching colleague who called and said he was running late. At the table next to me were a group of four very old ladies who were bashing then President George W. Bush with extreme vehemence. These ladies were in their upper 80’s and I could not believe the Bush bashing. Finally, I gathered up the courage and asked to join them because I was intrigued by their conversation and they agreed. As it turned out, these four women gathered weekly at this restaurant to discuss their personal lives and current events. One of the ladies showed me her death camp tattoo and said “We have lived through this before and your country, young man, is getting ready to live through these terrible events again. Your 9/11 is our Reichstag fire all over again. Bush is Hitler!” All four ladies were death camp survivors and the contents of the conversation were life-changing for myself. I researched some of the things that these Holocaust survivors told me about and was easily able to verify much of their information. I realized my country was in deep trouble and no amount of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE was going to change my new level of awareness. What had changed this time, is that I was now a dad. I knew at that moment, that my young son’s future was already stolen from him. These four women hit me with historical parallel after historical parallel. In 30 minutes, I was wondering if I lived in a total fascist state and we were going to relive the dark days of Nazi Germany. The most spirited of the four women said the following to me: In short, Hitler would never have been able to implement his tyranny without the help of the cognitive dissonance crowd. After all, what kind of sane people would have embraced being a Brown Shirt or let their kids belong to such a ridiculous group such as the Hitler Youth Movement. Cognitive dissonance can no longer be tolerated because the Donald Trump is providing us with an opportunity to push back without going directly into revolution. But to you people who deep down inside know the truth, but choose to ignore it and act like sheep, are retarding the populist movement raging in the country. “There are no Middle Eastern terrorists coming into the country. The economy is fine……” To you rose-colored glasses group, take heed of the following: As our enemies like to brand as conspiracy theorists, we need to shame these Sunshine Patriots into our movement by branding them as the cognitive dissonance crowd, the people who don’t yet have the guts to fight for what’s right. When some of these people come into the fold, they need to be accepted without judgment. We have a very short window to start drawing a line in the sand. We will not get another opportunity. To you people who know something is desperately wrong, but refuse to face it and then act (i.e. cognitive dissonance), aren’t you embarrassed that four ladies in their 80’s have more awareness and courage than you? As the old saying goes, “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” These People Are Destroying America and They Need to be Called Out
It is a red or blue pill kind of thing. It’s Time to Speak the Truth
A Life Changing Encounter
“Young man you now live in Nazi Germany. Your rights are fake, and your government has told you to that they will do anything to you that they want. Unless you and people like you stand up and fight back, many of you are going to die in a concentration camp or in a war. Don’t do what the people from our nation did when we pretended that what was happening was not happening! By the time things started happening, it was too late.”

Author neglected to mention that it was Hitler that "saved" Germany being dragged into communism by the jews. Sounds like our current situation???
Good point. Although I would maintain where we are being dragged is far worse than communism. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat
I don't think the current societal malaise is due to Cognitive Dissonance, defined as: "Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed a theory of cognitive dissonance centered on how people try to reach internal consistency. He suggested that people have an inner need to ensure that their beliefs and behaviors are consistent. Inconsistent or conflicting beliefs leads to disharmony, which people strive to avoid." www.verywell.com/what-is-cognitive-dissonance-2795012 Malaise stems from an ever-growing bureaucracy resulting from calls from the lazy and ignorant to have government solve a problem rather than dealing with it on their own.
Mainstream "Christians" are less afraid of Jesus than the ADL who murdered him. Don't expect anything resembling resistance from those people.

Truth be told, Hitler resulted as a consequence of the previous government doing little to nothing for the stability of the country. Communism vs National Socialism is as good a reason for war as any other. Our situation is much the same today and I believe Trump is our Hitler. While I agree with much of what Trump has said I imagine the same was true for the German people. Trump is playing on the anger of the people. People think they're voting against the establishment - this is a laugh. My post isn't about Hitler and there's little doubt he did some very good things for the German people. That's how he gathered the German people's unquestioning and unconditional support. My post is about the Hegelian dialectic. Americans are being played by the establishment's latest version of the pied piper. Trump supporters are acting in opposition to a government that has abused them for most of their lifetimes. The country's current woes have developed over a very long period, possibly from its inception. The establishment are long term planners operating with patience and one should be curious why so many men (and women) have acted in collusion to accomplish world domination that wouldn't happen in their lifetimes. The fact that most of the people undermining freedom in order to establish world wide dominion wouldn't live to see completion of their plan speaks to the idea that the operation is somewhat "spiritual" in nature. It's demonic. The solution to this dilemma is the withdrawal of support of any kind for the D.C. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OWNED GOVERNMENT. To think that any one man can defeat the establishment combine of evil is naive. “We have lived through this before and your country, young man, is getting ready to live through these terrible events again. Your 9/11 is our Reichstag fire all over again. Bush is Hitler!”
