SamIam: I understand your frustration. It never gets easy. However, understand one only needs to focus on what is pure truth. The falsehoods, one by one, become evident. We, as guardians and watchmen, can utilize anything, even the liars and plotters.
The ultimate lesson is not to look for political messiahs or even gurus. By all means, learn from them and if they possess integrity, one can safely follow. I like Ron Paul saying not to trust any poly; not even him.
The layers and layers are the ploy of the secret societies. Only their inner circle know what their symbols really mean.
Keep the faith, you're on the right track.
