Ive been outside the US for over 6 months.

[resto]

Wow. After being outside the US for over Six Months a lot of Brain Washing has washed off. I didnt realize just how The Forces at Work in the US were Blinding me. The Stress was Crazy. Ive been living on a farm in Northern Thailand. Thai people are very Loving and simplistic. All I can say Is, WOW. You should see the US from the outside. I can understand why other people, in other Cultures say what they say about Americans. Life is Tough in the US.

Sounds like you’re experiencing ‘culture shock’. It happened to me when I first moved to USA.
May you always be happy and blessed and enjoy what God has to offer.

What brainwashing?

 

[Tall_Timbers]

The US wasn't always as it is today with the propaganda/brainwashing that goes on 24/7 if you listen at all to the media. You can avoid most of it, and probably should. The first step is to throw out your tv.

Unplugging from media is always a good idea.
And there in rural Thailand the changing weather has more of an impact on your life than any news report or anything else.
Yes, the complicated navigation of daily life here is daunting for those outside of the US. And it has gotten extremely complicated and complex anymore. Even the simplest of things have been made complicated.
Going to the grocery store isn't as easy as it once was. Finding friends is beyond simple. Everyone is fearful of others having an agenda to gain power, position and money. There, the price of bananas, the elephants, and rice is what's important....friends? Ha! As easy as sharing a meal. Next year what happens is usually forefront in people's thoughts outside of the US. Here in the US we can have a difficult time thinking about next month. It seems so far away.

A man's life is not measured by his possessions.

You got a glimpse into the truth of that statement by Jesus. Happiness doesn't come from junk. And its easy to be controlled by your stuff instead of living a life of freedom. Responsibilities are still present without so much stuff and media trying to influence you. But the burden is much lighter...no where near as difficult.

Yeah....I get it.

Possessions can cause a depression that doesn't go away. Here, you have to have the stuff to survive...can't get away with out having it. I've tried. But you can live with stuff and be in control by living generously. It's the only way to survive and really live here.

Why should I care what other nations think about the US? They're only doing that to try to make us fall in line more easily when the one-world government comes about.

Americans, don't give in to the shaming! The globalists just want you to hand over the US to them!

Just think, if you sneak across the border, you can get free room and board, free medical, free money and all you have to do in return is vote democrat!

What kinda smack they be talkin bout 'mericans anyhow?

 

[Stan_the_Man]

What brainwashing?

Newsmedia, the arts, entertainment, social media, the little old lady next door, etc, etc

 

[Genipher]

Newsmedia, the arts, entertainment, social media, the little old lady next door, etc, etc

But, about what?

 

[Stan_the_Man]

But, about what?

Globalism, tuning communist, deconstructing the US Constitution, controlling your thoughts so you engage in group think and not think for yourself, sexual perversion, killing babies, hating conservatives, hating Christians and Jews etc, etc.

In Thailand, They are Confused by Americans. They see the Vast Wealth in the media. They are Shocked when I tell them that Most Americans are not Wealthy. They are shocked when I tell them about Income Tax, Sales Tax, Property Tax and Vehicle Tax. They are Aghast when I tell them that most Americans cant afford Health Insurance. Everything here in Thailand is Free. They dont pay Taxes. For example. I had a medical Emergency in November. I went in an Ambulance to a Government Hospital, one hour ride with a Nurse attendant (No Charge, minimum 5000USD in the US). The ER bed was a life Support System, State of The Art and self propelled. CT scan, 2 days Hospital Stay. Morphine all that. Looking at around 12,000 USD in the States. I have Cadillac Health INS. I didnt use it. Final Bill? Roughly 500USD(18,000 Thai Baht). That would have been Free to a Thai Citizen. I wanted a Second Opinion, so I drove 400K to a Private Hospital in Chiang Mai, same procedures, same price. I paid cash both times. Thai People dont know the Real USA. I told them about New York City, LA, Seattle, Portland, Vegas. My Thai Friends are University Grads. They now think that The USA is Crazy. They thought the US was like it was 50 years ago. They asked, "How Could This Happen"? "Ameicans Are The Smartest People in The World". I Laughed.

They would really freak out if you told them some Christians don't use health care at all and instead trust the Lord for their health and live happy healthy lives due to Jesus taking sickness and disease upon His body at the Cross to provide a way for His people to not have to have sickness and disease.

Lots of rich people end up dying and they can afford to buy the best health care possible and all their wealth is useless when they die anyway. There's many things money cannot fix.

Sadly, very few Christians accept God's Word on health / healing and won't stand on His promises for their health and rather than trusting the wisdom of God they instead trust in the failing wisdom of man and end up being sick more times than not.

Everything here in Thailand is Free

There are strings attached to free services. If you don't bow down and obey the government, they'll cut you off.

Christians are called to serve the Lord, not government.

There's a lot of fun topics to discuss with people there like drinking age or guns.
Speaking of guns, how are you as an American feeling without the second amendment in a foreign land? Are you able to breathe fresh air?

The Globalists already own The US as a "Nation" (political Govt and Media) . AI is up and Running. Cultures dont really care about the US. I live in Northern Thailand, 20 minutes from the Lao Border. They speak Nan Lao here, not "Bangkok Thai", thats 800K away. I live in a Cluster of Villages called Fang Min. I live around Lanna and Hmong peoples. Rain Forrest Farm with 3 Phase and 5G. An ATM with a Bank Branch 500 meters from my House. In the Middle of Rain Forrest. Very Modern. I think there are only 200 people in this area. Thai Govt doesn't bother people, they look after them, its a Kingdom. Pretty much a Peculiar, Anomaly to "Western European Thought". There are many countries that are somewhat similar, Some people think of it as "The Third World". Its very Different than what I thought. In the US I would be considered a "Prepper" or "Homesteader". Im not. I raise Durian, Coconuts, Mangos, Bananas, Asian Pumpkins, Catfish, Clams, Snail sand Frogs. I can just see everyones Mental Pictures. I was a Marine. I worked in Civil Service for 34 years and a Private Contractor for 8 years, before final Retirement. I know how Government works. I was "Patriotic". Is that a Personality Disorder? The USA I knew, passed away 50 years ago. Something really changed when Kennedy was shot and the CIA came into being. Im not Bashing, just my Experience. You have to see it from the Inside. Ive lead one person to Christ since I have been here. Thats what I intend to keep doing.

2nd? I worked in Weapons Research. Loved my Gun Collection, I built most of them. That was very hard at first. God dealt with me for 15 years over that. God Called me here. I sold everything, I owned in the US. I came here with 2 suitcases and a Laptop Backpack. Lots of Fresh Air. This is a Picture of my Backyard. The Mountains are Virgin Rain Forrest.

 

[Eli1]

That is wonderful and i'm glad that you've been de-programmed from the second amendment too.

 

[Eli1]

Have you tried to discuss with the locals on how America prides itself as being the "freest" nation in the world and then go ahead and list the things you can't do but other countries can?
It can make for a fun table conversation.
