With roguetech, it's best not to ask.

One time I asked him if he watched Shark Tank and the next day he came by with this:

This reminds me of a story. The company I used to work for taught hands-on workshops in technology, and we had mobile labs of equipment (laptops, network equipment, cabling, etc.). Sometimes, a customer would take our specifications for the lab and build a private one that we could deliver our courses on. We would maintain this equipment. Each time a teacher went to teach, our local lab manager would provide them with a list of equipment that needed to be worked on, or that needed to be brought back to the home office to be worked on. One day he asked one of our best trainers to take the hard drive out of a laptop and bring it back to be reformatted and reloaded. The trainer dutifully removed the component from the laptop, brought it back to our home office, placed it on table in front of the lab manager, and began to expound on how amazing these new laptops were, and how easy it was to remove the drive. As he was speaking, the lab manager kept looking back and forth from the component in front of him to the face of the trainer with an expression of puzzlement. When the trainer, who's name was Craig, finished expounding, the lab manager coughed lightly, and said, "Umm, Craig, that's a battery." The trainer had removed the laptop's battery, not it's hard drive.

The following year, at the annual Christmas party, the lab techs had arranged a slide show to honor this moment, as part of awarding the annual "lab rat" award. This award was given to the trainer who had most demonstrated ineptitude in a lab setting in the past year. The slide show was a series of images, each labeled either "this is a battery..." or "this is a hard drive..." The first was an AAA battery, the second was a computer hard drive, the third was a row of cannons (battery), the fourth was a winding mountain road (hard drive), the fifth was a man beating up another man (battery), the sixth was a golfer teeing off (hard drive), and so forth. It was hysterical!

At my house my dad has made a "Top 10" list of things my mom has said over the past year. She mixes up a lot of phrases, so one year we had stuff like "out of the frying pan and into the kettle". She also invented the word "meatshell". Which means "the meat of it in a nut shell".

Ugh! I'd forgotten there were still people bogged down in all that. "The new world order", "The illumniati", yada yada yada.

If it exists - you'll never know for sure Jorge, nor can you do anything about it. If it doesn't then you've lived your whole life believing a fantasy about things that just don't matter.

If you believe in Jesus Christ Jorge then you know this world is not our home. You know that whatever happens you are in His hands and God is with you - even if you are facing persecution or even death. These worldwide conspiracy theories are for people that live in fear, whose primary concern is protecting themselves from whatever may come.

That is not what you are called to. As it is, being immersed in this stuff is just a another reason for people to think you are a complete nutjob and ignore anything useful you might have to say about Faith in Christ. Basically, living your life immersed in this, actually promoting these things as 'absolute facts', is a life of fear and paranoia, and is contrary to everything you claim to be.

And I recommend you walk away from it.

Jim

You clearly --- CLEARLY!!! --- are clueless.

Don't mind too much if I totally ignore your recommendation. Why? The words go something like this...

"A person can ignore reality but cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality."

Something like that.

Obviously a fake pic ... sharks are aquatic and so they don't drive tanks, they drive submarines.

That's only when fighting each other. They bring out the tanks when the plan to conquer the land lubbers.

They evolved into land sharks who drive tanks.
