Thanks for the thoughtful comment. My response:  Trying to label all these players as good (whitehat) or bad (blackhat) is futile.  Futile? It all depends on what you are attempting to achieve. Purpose defines direction and value.  If your reason for 'labeling all these players' is to somehow prop up a sense of insecurity or suppress doubts and concerns about the world, then I think yeah, futile. But if your purpose is to gain a clearer understanding of the situation, the 'game' (game theory), to grasp the real nature of reality more clearly in order to align with the ideal of 'good', then definitely NOT futile. Just as two examples.  Every person in the entire world is a combination of past experience, influences, knowledge (or lack of it), relationships, and choices made & to make.  Surely true enough. However, it is in the combination of choices - the exercise of our innate responsibility or the shirking thereof - that we define our position in relation to good and evil. And its important to know that every person who chooses evil has been deceived. Evil itself stems from self-deceit (willing choice to believe in a lie). But again, purpose defines value. Our conscience naturally strives to push us towards goodness. Our sense or understanding of goodness is limited due to all the factors mentioned above, plus others, yet we still must make choices and exercise our responsibility (or reject it).  To predict or "divine" the motivations, intents, and circumstances of someone other than your own self seldom leads to a completely true prediction. Heck, it's often difficult to do it for one's own self!  For me, I wonder who on earth is after a 'true prediction'? For what purpose? If someone seeks to be able to predict in order, again, to resist or suppress fears, doubts, insecurity, etc., then to what avail? Or for some other ego-centric goal? No.  To understand reality, to learn from others, for starters by perhaps recognizing that 'there but for the grace of God go I', and that I can learn from others' mistakes, this is a good thing if the purpose is to serve, better fulfill my responsibility, and have a positive impact on those around me and the world in general. What greater aspiration could a person have than to generate the highest possible benefit for the world? To pursue such a goal, knowledge and understanding are often very important.  Consider the power of the prayers of millions who know see through the smoke of the Cabal, etc? Are these of no effect?  Ask yourself: Am I a whitehat? Am I good? What have I chosen? Can you answer completely honestly? Are you in a trap?  Surely its important and valuable to reflect on self and seek to know oneself. But the goal? To reconcile with conscience, which directs us to reconcile and align with universal goodness.  But consider: "None are righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10 No one is purely and perfectly good.  I strongly support the effort of self-reflection, and self-evaluation, if they are undertaken with the purpose of moving oneself into a place where one can contribute to the highest good and serve the greatest whole.  However, doing so does not necessarily require abstaining from making serious and humble evaluations of the state of the world. Rather, in fact, pursuing the highest good necessarily involves being mature enough to evaluate and take a stand. Do you think Potus, for example, has the luxury of saying "Gee, Milania, I can't get into labeling people as white hats or black hats! Live and let live! I just need to check whether I'm Ok with myself, or not."  Taking that stance would lead Potus to be negligent of his oath of office, and his duty, freely undertaken.  Well, how about Barr, then? Could he? Or how about ANYONE in public service? Can they afford such an attitude?  If it's all about me, and my self reflection, and my path, then er, OK.  I think that a heck of a lot of anons and patriots want to contribute in the spirit of service. They want to help humanity wake up, for the sake of the innocent, the future, and future generations. To do so, one has to step up and take responsibility.  REgarding, for example, Bolton, I cannot say with complete conviction that I am certain he is dirty, or not. But my reason for having at least a working hypothesis is not to somehow label and thereby judge him, but to grasp better the battle that is raging between good and evil.   Can you answer completely honestly?  Can anyone?   Are you in a trap?  All were ensnared by evil in the past. This was humanity's great tragedy. And evil continues to set traps for us. But evil is not stronger than good. So in aligning with good, we can overcome traps. But it requires both humility and a sense of unselfish responsibility. (selfishness IS the trap set by evil. Always) Best wishes for progress on the path!!!
