Have you ever heard someone use the statement, or some variant of, "Well how come more people aren't talking about it?"Why don't more people expose what's going on in the government and in healthcare and in finance, etc? Easy answer - BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED! Support The Showpaypal.me/survivingthesystemCashapp : $SurvivingTheSystemVenmo : @SurvivingTheSystemContact Dave: https://survivingthesystem.orgFacebookTwitter

If you've never heard the "5 Why's" theory, this is a great show for you. It's a tactic that helps you come to the root cause of an issue, by asking yourself "why" 5 times. The theory goes that by the time you answer the 5th "why," you should be at the root cause of whatever issue you're addressing (or at least close enough). So, I apply this theory to the system! Why? Why not, right?Support The Showpaypal.me/survivingthesystemCashapp : $SurvivingTheSystemVenmo : @SurvivingTheSystemContact Dave: https://survivingthesystem.orgFacebookTwitter

Why is it that it seems a large segment of the population feels the need to constantly try and point out the things they see as "wrong" with those around them? Have you ever noticed that in your life? It's not everyone, but there are enough out there that I feel the need to address it. The people that feel the need to look down on anyone around them for not being exactly as they think you should be. You don't fit into their model of the world, and therefore you must be shunned.All I have to say is, don't let them get you!

Duane Williams was tried and convicted in a case of 2 arson related deaths. However, there is ample evidence to believe he had nothing to do with the fire. I've had a chance to review a report recently done by an independent investigator, and to say that the facts blew my mind would be an understatement. Witness tampering, falsification of evidence, and on and on.
