@larry You may absolutely disagree, good Sir!

I do appreciate a thorough and articulate rebuttal. To this, I thank you for your time and thoughts.

I did come across an article the original point I made, but since it is buried in the sea of the internet— I must acquiesce to your point until I can bring that article forward.

It’s also hard to accept big claims delivered in such a dramatic fashion. In a way that seems to be deliberately out of character for the person delivering it.

I keep going back in my head to the Boy Who Cried Wolf. How many lies are we told before the truth comes out? How do we know when the wolf is actually attacking?

@russell‘s periscope has been on my mind a lot over the past couple days. Without knowing who his source is, big claims with no evidence is hard to accept as fact.

This feels EXACTLY like the whole “Mason is a disgruntled ex-participant trying to gamejack” thing – we heard the calls talking about how “they’ve dealt with this before, they’ll…[Read more]

God damn, that would be fucking rad to have a spot in town for just the experiences. No more worrying about future locations smh

Who, then, ARE the real powers that be… and what did they want to do to us?

Initial response: THIS THIS THIS.
Secondary response: Uuuhhhh. Shit.

Agreed, @nothenrygale. But the more I think it over, I find myself wondering one thing. DLB references “the powers that be doing what they needed to do” as something he and Clint may have almost prevented.

Who, then, ARE the real powers that be… and what did they want to do to us?

Glad to see DLB has our backs throughout this.

“We’re all going to die”

😂😂😂

Hey all.

So I was reading Russell’s message that he posted when he came back on the forms and I noticed that there are some deliberate misspellings and italicized words….I’m not very good a coded messages but do any of you think there’s something there?

If Briarberg does exist and someone merely wants us to believe otherwise, surely there are better ways to achieve this than, “Let’s get Russell to say it doesn’t exist, with no context or explanation!” I think it’s been clear almost from the beginning that Briarberg is in fact a lie. But what is the lie? Where does the truth end and the lie…[Read more]

@argos5
Permit me to disagree?

People are not “pulling back to classic publications” like the NYT. Just the opposite. They are running from them.

US newspaper circulation has fallen from its peak of 65 million in 1970 to 35 million today.

Despite subscription surges for largest U.S. newspapers, circulation and revenue fall for industry overall

For…[Read more]

Briarburg is everything and nothing and now no one knows what to believe and maybe that is the whole point. Maybe there’s no deeper meaning than that.

@bruinbown This is entirely possible. In which case, well done?

Wait, but then the follow up question is: Which one of them is behind the confusion?

@chelsea
The thing that makes it hard for me is the lies within lies within lies. If it was OSDM trying to trick Morgan. Ok, I get that. If it was OSDM trying to get any of us trying to leave by using the deprogramming angle, also, totally get that. If it’s OSDM using Briarburg/Mason to do their dirty work and kill the 91 (and others) after we…[Read more]

My brain is still swirling around this. I’m adding one(ish) more question. If this is another lie and Briarberg does actually exist, who wants us to believe that it doesn’t? “Briarberg is a lie. It doesn’t actually exist.” Where did Russell receive this message? It might not exist in the sense of what they said that they were (“deprogrammers”, the…[Read more]

@coryphella absolutely! “Stop and just give into the sweet embrace of our arms?” is so welcoming in a massive pile of confusion. how much time do people have trying to sift through what is true and what is false? sometimes the easiest approach is not just a personal truth, but a natural truth. and what is more comfortable other than someone els…[Read more]

@kevin: Totally! I feel like that’s the case for a whole lot of fanbases/collectives out there these days. With all the social media and means of research that people have access to, creators can build a relatively vague and mysterious foundation and almost just allow the ideas to come to them from their following. The stories that a collective of…[Read more]

Is the OSDM responsible for the ‘glitch’ part of the promo? Doesn’t seem terribly on-brand for them.

“…but she, with a mere hand gesture, rebels against the painter, erasing her own face.”

Goosebumps.
