They're disinforming, we know they're disinforming, they know that we know they're disinforming, we know that they know that we know they're disinforming, but they're still disinforming (and saying we're the ones doing the disinforming).
indeed, solzhenitsyn could easily have been speaking today. i always sort of wondered what it was like to live in such an intense regime of propaganda to the point of outright reality denial, inversion, and hallucination.
“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.”
To paraphrase Berenson, 'mountebanks gonna mountebank'.
The people drawn to power are sociopaths and pathological liars by nature.
This is why if we are to be afflicted with government at all, it must have extremely limited powers to keep the criminally insane at bay and our freedom intact.
What truly never fails to astonish me, though, is how literally hundreds of millions of people swallow the lies whole, regardless of how preposterous and/or contradictory, again, and again, and again, ad nauseam.
The ancients, and the founders, knew that this was a feature of human nature, which is why they abhorred democracy and favored republican forms of government bound by the chains of law.
We must, as you and gato are, keep working to restore the light in Enlightenment.
Me too. Eye opening. ALL of my rock hard biases were blown to smithereens by the end of summer of 2021. I was in bits. I realized the total betrayal and knew God was all I had. Discovered substack as well. I wasn’t completely alone. I thank God for all of you.
I JUST ordered that book! It’s on my list right after Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life. I’ve thought about starting my own substack to have a book club :)
Absolutely nothing can be taken at face value anymore. I feel like us regular folks are baby ducks paddling around on the surface of a lake, while underneath unseen monsters abound.
I think it's pure intellectual laziness, the proverbial burying the head in the sand. I see it with a couple coworkers who are reasonably intelligent in their field -- they simply do not want to hear about any of it. It brings stress into their lives that they feel they have no control over either way, so in their minds they're better off not even thinking twice about it.
If forced to side one way or the other, most people would know the correct side, but their choice would ultimately be the easier one. A rebellious and skeptical nature eludes most -- they'd rather bitch about the aftermath than act to prevent it in the first place.
I don't know if it's laziness, or busy-ness. I know two hard working people of different political persuasions who, when visiting me, wore a mask. I mean, they have kids, they have a job, they have extracurricular activities, are they being lazy or simply they are too busy? And wasn't that part of the responsibility of the media, to keep the citizens informed?
I'm not saying that people shouldn't think, but should we have to suffer liars? Which is why I think we need to hold the media accountable. Every lie, every softball question, every manipulated phrase that dares to insult those who had the audacity to use critical thinking. They should be held responsible for the endless loops of PSA's, for distilling people into groups marked by who was "essential" and who was not. Of deprecating those who went without the vaccine and mask because they were selfish.
I want to live in a world where you can be intellectually lazy because of consequences of those who are emotionally manipulative. I am all for free speech, but when you tell me masks work, and the vaccine prevents transmission, then you should be fired at least.
Which is why a lot of my bad feelings percolate towards the media.
I know many such people that are simply terrified of the implications of what we know to be true:
That our government and major institutions are utterly and irredeemably corrupt and bankrupt in every sense of the word; financially, intellectually, culturally, and especially morally.
As Lord Acton observed many moons ago, unchecked power is deadly poison to society, and the last century of progressivism has created the omnipotent and lawless State that now afflicts us all.
This has been a completely bipartisan project, with the support and active participation of most of the population.
To expect them to even understand what they have wrought, let alone bear responsibility for it, is a bridge too far.
“Man’s mental laziness, his resistance to the hard labour of thinking, makes it relatively easy for Totalitaria’s dictator to bring his subjects into acceptance of the Big Lie.”
Well said! It encapsulates the zeitgeist over the last two years.
If we could just get rid of Chief Justice Robert's, perhaps the constitution would be the shield the founders had intended. The courts are thr penultimate "beachhead". There's nothing left after that other than a "revolution". Uggh
The founders did not intend that SCOTUS be the finally arbiter of the Constitution, but rather the States.
The court usurped that power early on in Marbury v. Madison.
"[T]o consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions (is) a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
Much to my surprise, I am getting more and more acclimated to that idea. And if someone as mild mannered as yours truly is getting there, it must be pretty broadly spread as a feeling/concept/increasingly possible outcome. The question is what form, who and when.
There are still some constitutionalists (Ron DeSantis comes to mind) that could get to the point where they could actually do something. So all is not lost yet. But it seems to be moving that way.
I know right?. I have never been an ideologue or conspiracy theorist with my hair on fire. But boy these last 5 years have led to my wife and I taking prepatory measures that we would've never fathomed. Like buying guns and uprooting our children to move to Florida in April 20'.
I still have faith, but my "risk" tolerance is very low.
I think DeSantis is an executive who's up for the righteous FIGHT. Hence the reason we moved to Florida. We must "lean" into the culture war imo. I think he's the right guy for these times
"Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you."
It makes me wonder about people who know they are lying. What are they like to work with, to live with, to love? What kind of person lives their entire life telling lies? And where do they -or do they- draw the line?
I lived with narcissist for 30 year. They never repent. They never believe they will get caught. If they are finally caught, it’s your fault, all of it. Plain and simple
You can read his famous "Gulag Archipelago" to get a flavor. Also he wrote other books, such as the fiction "The First Circle" which I found engrossing. I'm sure there are many such good books, history or not, that give one a taste of a dystopia. Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" are must-reads too.
"Cancer Ward," "Fahrenheit 451," "Defying Hitler." Hello, world. Welcome to technology-enabled dystopia. Here in AZ a bill to ban drop boxes just failed. Big Tech's ability to tamp down stories (Hunter's laptop, Hillary's sedition, election fraud) is keeping the pendulum swinging to the left--further and further. We cannot seem to get the word out fast enough. Yes, polling for the Dems is disastrous, but what if that doesn't matter when it comes to Election Day, thanks to the same tools they deployed in 2020 so effectively? Become a poll watcher, poll worker, walk your neighborhood pushing for America First candidates.
A compelling and sobering work detailing how ordinary men German men were made to descend into barbarism and commit unspeakable acts in the Polish version of the Final Solution.
H/T to @Margaret Anna Alice for the recommendation.
The only downside is waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night wondering which of one's leftist neighbors will be coming to round you up when the time comes.
I struggle to accept that out of nowhere every government on the planet decided to go full-blown totalitarian. Parties in power + opposition parties everywhere are in lock step supporting the injections, the lockdowns, the masks, the withdrawal of our rights.
This actually did not come out of nowhere... it started in earnest with the GFC --- most think that event is ancient history. It is not. It was papered over with the same policies that caused it - massive stimulus ... even lower interest rates... support for zombie companies (companies that are unable to serviced debt but TBTF).... The auto industry was kept alive by offering buyers much longer pay back periods at very low interest (problem is ... they don't trade the cars for new ones otherwise they have two payments).
This all came to a head in 2019... it was unravelling. Reverse Repos (remember Lehman... when banks don't trust banks the Fed has to step in) were hitting record highs (again).... and now they about to smash through 2 trillion (see Ed Dowd for that - there is nothing in the MSM).
The system was failing in 2019. And 'out of nowhere' comes Covid - then the injections.
To understand the Big Picture we need to understand what caused the GFC -- why did banks (and this goes right up to the central banks) allow Liar Loans? Why violate the fundamental rules of making loans? Why did they fear? What forced them to do this?
I've been looking at this intensively since 2008.... here is a summary of what I believe the Big Picture is --- keep in mind this has and can change.. because when the facts change I am prone to change my mind .... however the general theme has not changed since I began this journey over a decade ago... we are 8B people whose lives are 100% dependent on a growing supply of cheap to extract resources.... living on a finite planet:
No, I haven't, but it looks intriguing. I've added it to my watchlist in case I ever get time to watch it in some miraculous turn of events (although I can see justifying the investment of time as it ties in with many of the topics I cover).
Solzhenitsyn wasn't exactly against all forms of tyranny over the mind. He was a passionate traditionalist and a strong supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Damn right, el gato. The Ministry of Truth has been fully operational for years, and they merely made the tactical error of making that obvious by creating the Disinformation Board. “Pausing” its existence only means the ostensible mechanism has been hidden from view, while the subterranean Thought Police continue accumulating more powers behind the scenes.
We need to extinguish S.3737 before it gets off the drawing board and while the iron is hot from taking down the Disinformation Board. I will soon be publishing my letter to US senators and representatives regarding this legislation and encourage people to sign up for my Stack if they want to get notified when that’s available along with action steps on how to stop this and similar legislative threats to freedom of speech and thought.
XChris Murphy has long been a promoter of if information control. He was the strong advocate if the 21st Century Cares Act, one of the last pieces of legislation Obama signed into law before he left office. It extended the police state into peoples' homes to forcibly inject with antipsychotics those identified by their families or health professionals as needing "help." I always thought forced psychiatric intervention opened the door to other treacherous acts as the citizenry accepted it as necessary for their safety. That is a dangerous precedent to setting the path to fomenting fear and then broadly providing state protections. Now look at where we are today. Murphy is a Democrat but partnered with a conservative Republican (Bill Cassidy), and they are still at it today. It seems impossible to escape from this treacherous politics panopticon. We must be creative, with God's will.
Thanks for a watchful eye and helping spread the word. Project Veritas and folk like you are essential now. Our representatives are turning out to be facilitators of those who would be our minders - all in the name of freedom, they say. Trampling rights that are inconvenient isn't quite in line with freedom.
Davos’s 2022 theme is “Working Together and Restoring Trust.” They know they dun f’d up and revealed their hand too hard, too soon. You cannot work together with autocrats, you can only bend to their will. And you certainly can’t trust these people.
Fool me once and never again. I do feel—at last—a change in the current elsewhere, too. Monkeypox news was met with scathing memeology instead of the fear they expected to elicit.
they made a huge mistake in becoming so visible and starting to speak publicly as a group rather than continuing to generate and advance client/member politicians and play shadowy puppetmaster through them.
it has made the patterns of their work too plain and far too many have now seen it. this WEF affiliation used to look (when anyone noticed it at all) like a sort of harmless membership in a talking shop. now it looks like being the acolyte of a totalitarian malthusian cult with with authoritarian aspirations dressed up as technocracy.
i think they really underestimated the manner in which social media would find and amplify their previously little seen or noticed agendas and how out of step with the public pathos they would wind up.
Gosh, right when my snarkiness is needed most, I seem to default to seriousness. My dear Gatito Malo Malo, NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Just when you think they will get it and stand up, they will bow their heads and mumble something about, "What's on TV?"
Stupidity flourishes while people are comfortable. If you are comfortable, it is not so hard to suffer fools. But as people begin to suffer, their native intelligence starts reawakening and they start to apply themselves to real problem-solving. Like in Indonesia lately.
Forgive me for paraphrasing, but a wise man said that people will tolerate intolerable treatment, as long as they are still somewhat comfortable. Your observation is spot on. We are WEAK because we are COMFORTABLE.
Yes...and people just "ratchet down" bit by bit and accept less and less. They are "nudged" downwards and it soon takes on a sense of normalcy. I guess that's the proverbial "frog in the pot" theory.
Perhaps a lot of stupidity, but also an incredibly high level of intellectual laziness. It's just too hard to do much thinking these days. What was the line in an old country song..."I've got a thinking problem".
Yep. They moved too far, too fast, and they exposed themselves. What is seen cannot be unseen. Obscurity was their most potent defense and they sacrificed it. They know it, too: see, comments from the last Davos coven gathering to the effect that, in every country in which they have gained influence, they have lost the trust of the public.
Things will get interesting now. The WEFite cultists knows that they're fighting for their lives.
Who is their opposition? A select group of Substackers booted off Twitter and their avid commenters? A formidable lot we are. If I were going to let 100 Flowers Bloom to root out the opposition, I'd do it essentially the way Substack has evolved organically. Nicely identifiable and compartmentalized opposition, ready for a healthy dose of techno-totalitarianism. We can scrawl our comments on scraps of paper after lights out when we're living on the collective.
Don't be so myopic. The opposition consists of hundreds of millions of networked humans, analyzing and disseminating information through a myriad of channels that have repeatedly proved to be extraordinarily difficult to censor. Substack is just one component in that network. The informational duty cycle is so much faster than what the centralized social control systems can accomplish that the network is now essentially dictating the news cycle, with legacy media having been pushed into an essentially reactive mode.
For now, WEFites hold control of the legacy institutions; but those institutions are being drained of legitimacy in real time due to their lack of competence and trustworthiness.
Betterwayconference last weekend in bath, uk gives me hope is a collection of high achieving people discussing science law health, the organizers have evolved to understand what used to be conspiracy. childrehealrhdefensefund is an amazing resource.
I don't agree that "they're fighting for their lives". The WEFite's are like cockroaches. They live in dark and ugly places, and occasionally emerge to shit all over our lives. Right now, they have chosen to become visible. And to attempt impose a dystopian new world order. If the WEF is successful, we enter a new "dark ages". If humanity wins, the WEFers (who have exposed themselves to our view), will merely clutch their untaxed trillions and retreat back into whatever cesspits they normally infest. And, like the cockroaches they resemble - in another generation or two - more cockroaches.
What do you make of the idea that Trump as an outsider forced an acceleration? I.e. they never would have played these hands so aggressively if they didn't need to compensate for what they expected to do with more subtlety under a Clinton admin?
it's an interesting question and an idea that seems plausible, but i'm not sure how to really know. covid also forced A LOT of hands. i suspect it has led to "trying to shoot the moon" 2 tricks too early in hearts and may well have ruined them.
it so nakedly revealed the nasty undercurrents in technocracy and the total incompetence of experts and models; their dishonesty and politicization and amorality was too big to miss.
and this will hamstring the climate push they have so long cultivated because the climate models are just slow motion versions of the epidemiology models (but with even more badly adulterated data and data sources. i have dug deeply into it and it's pure, unbridled garbage). but it has one major advantage: it was SLOW. it took decades to be revealed as wrong and by then, you're 3 model generations down the road and this time, we know what we're doing. promise!
that one might have worked. it would have boiled the frog slowly enough.
this was way too fast and it discredited the rest.
were they forced to move aggressively because trump was pulling the US out of all the trans-national orgs of global domination? seems possible. that stuff is going nowhere without the US and they certainly pulled out all the stops going after him and propping up a senile puppet rubber stamp the US acquiescence. but the blowback is getting out of control.
i think they badly misjudged the zeitgeist and what goodwill they had, they lost.
I agree mostly. The only potential weakness I see in your thinking is that you seem to think that the Covid-19 "pandemic" was unexpected. What I offer below is just a conspiracy theory of course, as many probably never could be proven even if it were true. Consider the following: two and a half years into this pandemic, it can be demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that all the infrastructure was in place well BEFORE the pandemic officially began: they were researching the viruses for years, there were emergency laws and regulations already in place, there were even scenarios and exercises like the infamous Event 201. Most of this isn't even secret. You can read a lot of it on the organization's own web sites, even now. Moderna was a down on its luck genetics company, never having had a successful product. It "probably" had/has ties to deep state/intelligence; several such firms do. Of course that's all hush-hush but they cannot completely cover their tracks.
I think a very good conspiracy theory case can be made that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately released in late 2019. Motive, means and opportunity are all rather plausibly delineated. As I said above, there probably will never be a way to prove it, but in my opinion at least, it remains an undeniable possibility. One of the biggest impediments that normal people have to entertaining such wild theories is that they honestly seem to believe that workers in government and corporate are decent folk and they would never stoop to such evil deeds. Alas, if only the sheep would read more history.
C19 specific nucleotide sequence patents predated this pandemic. These sequences were modeled to magically develop mRNA therapy. these patented unique nucleotide sequences found in c19, were highly unlikely to naturally evolve but likely to have been passed using in vitro techniques. HIV sequence homologies, prion homologies within the c19 sequence suggests man manipulations as documented in early preprints from India (probably retracted). I read preprints on my last day working in the office dec 2019. There may be some biowarfare going on and I have thought they are using the 1st world countries to promote their mRNA therapy to the rest of the world. Like Thailand wants the mRNA not the sinovz they have. By acknowledging problems it might lose demand of all their upcoming rna based therapies. Injectees represent their successful product ironically.
Yes, I believe it was released so the drop boxes could be in place and the election stolen, they had to get Trump out of there. Hillary not winning was a huge shock to their plans.
In hindsight it's kinda amazing Trump was "allowed" to win in '16. They really misjudged the mood back then. Hard to say how things will develop - it should be obvious but mail-in ballots mean they can basically do anything to get the numbers come election time, with the captured media and pollsters leading legitimatcey to it all.
Wesley, Somebody on a substack somewhere was of the opinion that the totally unexpected double barrels of Brexit & Trump’s election really rattled the global elites who thought they had the prols totally under control, & they’ve been in a frenzy ever since. I find this a plausible theory for why things have accelerated so quickly & massively & I also think that same frenzy has led to the mistakes they’ve made…thank God
I have been thinking about that as well. Isn’t it just fool hardy to think that any of these WEFs don’t fully think that they 1) could do it better and 2) create their own kingdom?
war is always beneficial to the overlords. need to gin up one, and one you think you can win, somehow. putin may be on the reservation, but everyone is expendable at some point.
Indeed it has. But, from my understanding, Putin is also pushing "a needle in every arm." So much going on, my heading is spinning trying to make sense of it all.
The only thing I am certain of is that there is something very, very evil playing out now.
He is, but I suspect that might be something of a cunning ruse. WEFite influence has penetrated Russian society too. Had Putin simply said, this is all nonsense, the vaxx is poison, etc., he'd have left himself open to political attack, especially during the early, hysterical period of the plandemic. Instead, he rolled out the Sputnik vaccine, a conventional vaccine that has been notably absent from all the discussion of adverse events. By doing so he preempted the widespread introduction of mRNA transfections. Further, while he encouraged people to get Sputnik, he didn't mandate it; what mandates were attempted were at the regional/municipal level, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, both of which have strong liberal, Westernizing influences in their local politics. Those mandates in any case failed, and from what I've been told by friends who have been over there the plandemic is now essentially over in Russia.
RFK jr defender podcast with Bruce Gagnon may 22,2022 gives a alt. thought of Ukrainian war. Resource chess game,breakup of Russia. He states that Russia GDP is 1/10 of California’s so could not overtake Europe. Is that GDP reasonable assessment of Russian financial strength?
maybe they are incompetent, maybe they are not. the reality is that it is impossible for anyone or small group of people to control a system so complex as the entire earth and all its inhabitants. perhaps their competence allows them to do it just enough t0 make life miserable but never really achieve their aims
It is so blatant that it makes me wonder if it has been intentional. Perhaps their tuning us in a bit will serve as an ever more treacherous distraction to their more horrific machinations, if that is possible. I don't know iw if they are smart enough, but they are certainly evil enough.
well...a number of the higher ups in the wef are nearing the end of their lives. and, i imagine those types have huge egos. so, what good is fulfilling your dream of running the world without people knowing its you doing it? so, at some point you have to step out from the shadows. the problem for them is they truly believe you will own nothing and be happy. hence, they can't see the consequences of stepping into the light.
Like when you have a conspiracy theorist friend who always talks about a shadow government. Or how we grew up laughing at So I Married an Axe Murderer and the joke about a “pentaveret” running the world. The hint was always there. Let’s see how they hold up in the full daylight.
Cockroaches....good characterization. Always scurrying around and very adept at hiding from you. Also very very difficult to eradicate. I once read that if something destroyed all living things on earth, if any critter were to survive it would be the cockroach.
memes are the revenge of the high G shape rotators. it's a medium both faster and more replete than the emotive soundbite that has so long dominated media by being too fast to counter with rationality and reason.
memes will gut the emoters and restore reason to prominence in the rapid fire contest of ideas for attention and impact.
the modality that dominated the last 20 years is dead.
Others have already spoken about Solzhenitsyn here. If there is any lesson to be learned from dissident history, it is this: You gain little, if any "social credit" for being a compliant sheep, a good boy. When The Party needs to round up enemies, they will come for you too. Given that logic then, I say you might as well continue speaking the truth and defying the rulers as long as you can. If things are really going to get as bad, ultimately it will make little difference whether you are disappeared now or a week later.
We had a subway shooting / murder this weekend. Random. Stand up citizen murdered by career criminal for no reason.
Our new mayor is fighting the state to put back version of stop and frisk and to put back bail.
However. I am predicting this won’t work. The democrats want crime to run rampant over nyc. That way on the subway they can do surveillance as we enter the subway - we go thru TSA like x-ray machines. They will know who we are and where we are going and it will cost trillions to put this in our subway system. Lots of fat for kickbacks - Adams wants to run for President. And be the next Obama
My theory is the FBI gave this a-Hole the gun. He was supposed to do a mass shooting. But chickened out
Democrats need chaos for the midterms and to increase the surveillance state.
I can’t believe they were ‘bright’ enough to give Nina the boot! I applaud Jack Posobiec for leading the charge on Twitter. She was obliterated…though easily accomplished given the frequent showing of her failed musical auditions. But I knew they weren’t done, and they have now brought in the evil ones who know how to work the system with more clout yet seamless integration. It’s time to stand up. No submission to the anti constitutional minions.
Why not? They've given up hiding because they believe the public to be so stupid that they can get away with whatever they want. And why wouldn't they think so? After all, they were voted into office.
It was obvious it wasn’t going anywhere, but bringing it into plain sight under someone like Nina Jankowicz was a huge mistake that they tried to reverse before too many people noticed. It doesn’t really matter what they do now on this front, it was a mistake to reveal their hand so early and now a substantial minority (quite a few of whom they actually need) will never believe another word however they try to control the flow of propaganda.
The rot is so very deep. Keep praying, calling, writing, educating. And resisting. With everything we've got.
Non-compliance is our most powerful weapon against fascistic behavior.
True the Vote. Hold power accountable. File lawsuits, and, "Stand in The Park." Etc., etc., etc
Protect whistleblowers and spread stories of success to encourage the fence sitters.
And, if you haven't, watch Del Bigtree, join CHD, a local Chapter, if your state has one, or support medical freedom fighters and freedom of speech advocates everywhere.
Fight for corporate accountabiliry. And the dissolution of power pyramids without accountabiliry in and out of Government.
Blessings to everyone in the fight for humanity and our Freedom!
If DHS really wants to protect "core Constitutional rights, . . . civil rights and privacy" as their memo says, then they can darn well get their butts over to Switzerland where, right about now, Klaus Schwab is ready to coronate himself king of the world, in order to violate all of the above at will. Somehow I think DHS will fail to prevent Biden from attempting to torch the US Constitution.
They're disinforming, we know they're disinforming, they know that we know they're disinforming, we know that they know that we know they're disinforming, but they're still disinforming (and saying we're the ones doing the disinforming).
indeed, solzhenitsyn could easily have been speaking today. i always sort of wondered what it was like to live in such an intense regime of propaganda to the point of outright reality denial, inversion, and hallucination.

It makes me wonder what I have fallen for before I knew the media machine and government were lying to me.
An excellent question well-worth probing. I know "Dissolving Illusions" helped wake me up to some of my own delusions.
Me too. Eye opening. ALL of my rock hard biases were blown to smithereens by the end of summer of 2021. I was in bits. I realized the total betrayal and knew God was all I had. Discovered substack as well. I wasn’t completely alone. I thank God for all of you.
I JUST ordered that book! It’s on my list right after Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life. I’ve thought about starting my own substack to have a book club :)
I just had my 'invert switch' installed, so all their BS gets reversed. (The deluxe model works in retrospect, too.)
Absolutely nothing can be taken at face value anymore. I feel like us regular folks are baby ducks paddling around on the surface of a lake, while underneath unseen monsters abound.
I remember Cheney saying in the GW reign that basically truth meant nothing “we will make our own realty”.
Hopefully Cheney’s daughter goes down in electoral humiliation
Wow, they don't even try to hide it.
I think it's pure intellectual laziness, the proverbial burying the head in the sand. I see it with a couple coworkers who are reasonably intelligent in their field -- they simply do not want to hear about any of it.

I want to live in a world where you can be intellectually lazy because of consequences of those who are emotionally manipulative. I am all for free speech, but when you tell me masks work, and the vaccine prevents transmission, then you should be fired at least.
Which is why a lot of my bad feelings percolate towards the media.
In the abstract, it was FEAR of losing something. Job, social status, friends/family, access to "society", shame, guilt, etc., etc.
Of course there was literal FEAR of death/disease/ mortality.
If everyone FEARS losing something then everyone loses. That was the trick-box
And of course there were too many people who "benefited" from this:
From permission to work at home - to mortgage brokers, etc., etc.
People "chose" to keep their head in the sand. To confront it, would be to recognize their own small part in evil.
There is no excuse, for otherwise good and decent folks, to have sat on their hands .
PERIOD.
Were they too busy to watch Tiger King or Real Wives of OC or the Super Bowl?
Laziness is the floor, fear is the foundation.
I know many such people that are simply terrified of the implications of what we know to be true:

This has been a completely bipartisan project, with the support and active participation of most of the population.
To expect them to even understand what they have wrought, let alone bear responsibility for it, is a bridge too far.
Do you believe there are any solutions to this lawlessness and corruption, etc., etc?
"Laziness is the floor, fear is the foundation".
So precise.

Bingo. Come on down you're on the wheel of fortune
Well said! It encapsulates the zeitgeist over the last two years.
If we could just get rid of Chief Justice Robert's, perhaps the constitution would be the shield the founders had intended. The courts are thr penultimate "beachhead". There's nothing left after that other than a "revolution". Uggh
The founders did not intend that SCOTUS be the finally arbiter of the Constitution, but rather the States.
The court usurped that power early on in Marbury v. Madison.
"[T]o consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions (is) a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
~ Thomas Jefferson
That is true.
Much to my surprise, I am getting more and more acclimated to that idea. And if someone as mild mannered as yours truly is getting there, it must be pretty broadly spread as a feeling/concept/increasingly possible outcome. The question is what form, who and when.
There are still some constitutionalists (Ron DeSantis comes to mind) that could get to the point where they could actually do something. So all is not lost yet. But it seems to be moving that way.
I know right?. I have never been an ideologue or conspiracy theorist with my hair on fire. But boy these last 5 years have led to my wife and I taking prepatory measures that we would've never fathomed. Like buying guns and uprooting our children to move to Florida in April 20'.
I still have faith, but my "risk" tolerance is very low.
I think DeSantis is an executive who's up for the righteous FIGHT. Hence the reason we moved to Florida. We must "lean" into the culture war imo. I think he's the right guy for these times

"Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you."
~ Alexandr I. Solzhenitsyn
Spot bloody on.
Solzhenitsyn makes most of those 'progressive' writers out there look like weedy know-nothings.
It is difficult to write when you cannot think.
It makes me wonder about people who know they are lying. What are they like to work with, to live with, to love? What kind of person lives their entire life telling lies? And where do they -or do they- draw the line?
Pathologically lying narcissistic sociopaths are hell to work with, live, and love. They draw the line at where they think they will get caught.
I lived with narcissist for 30 year. They never repent. They never believe they will get caught. If they are finally caught, it’s your fault, all of it. Plain and simple
Don't they also start to believe their own lies?
Thank goodness you escaped!
Yet they always have fans, enablers, and peers desiring nothing but their nod of approval....well, except Kamala.
Sadly true
You can read his famous "Gulag Archipelago" to get a flavor. Also he wrote other books, such as the fiction "The First Circle" which I found engrossing. I'm sure there are many such good books, history or not, that give one a taste of a dystopia. Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" are must-reads too.
"Cancer Ward," "Fahrenheit 451," "Defying Hitler." Hello, world. Welcome to technology-enabled dystopia. Here in AZ a bill to ban drop boxes just failed. Big Tech's ability to tamp down stories (Hunter's laptop, Hillary's sedition, election fraud) is keeping the pendulum swinging to the left--further and further. We cannot seem to get the word out fast enough. Yes, polling for the Dems is disastrous, but what if that doesn't matter when it comes to Election Day, thanks to the same tools they deployed in 2020 so effectively?

In a similar fashion, with that Palpatine-looking neocon supervillain running the disinfo board, I miss theatre club girl.

Awesome movie.
Sorry I missed your original comment and repeated the obvious, but I suppose repetition is apropos given the quotation 😆

I struggle to accept that out of nowhere every government on the planet decided to go full-blown totalitarian. Parties in power + opposition parties everywhere are in lock step supporting the injections, the lockdowns, the masks, the withdrawal of our rights.
This actually did not come out of nowhere... it started in earnest with the GFC --- most think that event is ancient history. It is not. It was papered over with the same policies that caused it - massive stimulus ... even lower interest rates... support for zombie companies (companies that are unable to serviced debt but TBTF).... The auto industry was kept alive by offering buyers much longer pay back periods at very low interest (problem is ... they don't trade the cars for new ones otherwise they have two payments).
This all came to a head in 2019... it was unravelling. Reverse Repos (remember Lehman... when banks don't trust banks the Fed has to step in) were hitting record highs (again).... and now they about to smash through 2 trillion (see Ed Dowd for that - there is nothing in the MSM).
The system was failing in 2019. And 'out of nowhere' comes Covid - then the injections.
To understand the Big Picture we need to understand what caused the GFC -- why did banks (and this goes right up to the central banks) allow Liar Loans? Why violate the fundamental rules of making loans? Why did they fear? What forced them to do this?
I've been looking at this intensively since 2008.... here is a summary of what I believe the Big Picture is --- keep in mind this has and can change.. because when the facts change I am prone to change my mind .... however the general theme has not changed since I began this journey over a decade ago... we are 8B people whose lives are 100% dependent on a growing supply of cheap to extract resources.... living on a finite planet:

No, I haven't, but it looks intriguing. I've added it to my watchlist in case I ever get time to watch it in some miraculous turn of events (although I can see justifying the investment of time as it ties in with many of the topics I cover).
It's devastating.
Solzhenitsyn wasn't exactly against all forms of tyranny over the mind. He was a passionate traditionalist and a strong supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church.
They're mocking us!
Indeed
I figured they were just going back to the huddle to come up with something more evil.
Having abandoned any possibility of winning either the love or respect of the people, they've decided to go for fear.
Fear and projection. Intimidation and burning down buildings doesn't hurt either
Damn right, el gato. The Ministry of Truth has been fully operational for years, and they merely made the tactical error of making that obvious by creating the Disinformation Board. “Pausing” its existence only means the ostensible mechanism has been hidden from view, while the subterranean Thought Police continue accumulating more powers behind the scenes.
For example, how many people have even heard about S.3737 (Promoting Public Health Information Act: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3737/text) sponsored by Senator Christopher Murphy? This is essentially the Ministry of Truth for public health (not unlike California’s AB2098: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-california-legislature).
We need to extinguish S.3737 before it gets off the drawing board and while the iron is hot from taking down the Disinformation Board. I will soon be publishing my letter to US senators and representatives regarding this legislation and encourage people to sign up for my Stack if they want to get notified when that’s available along with action steps on how to stop this and similar legislative threats to freedom of speech and thought.

XChris Murphy has long been a promoter of if information control. He was the strong advocate if the 21st Century Cares Act, one of the last pieces of legislation Obama signed into law before he left office. It extended the police state into peoples' homes to forcibly inject with antipsychotics those identified by their families or health professionals as needing "help." I always thought forced psychiatric intervention opened the door to other treacherous acts as the citizenry accepted it as necessary for their safety. That is a dangerous precedent to setting the path to fomenting fear and then broadly providing state protections. Now look at where we are today. Murphy is a Democrat but partnered with a conservative Republican (Bill Cassidy), and they are still at it today. It seems impossible to escape from this treacherous politics panopticon. We must be creative, with God's will.
😳
Thanks for a watchful eye and helping spread the word. Project Veritas and folk like you are essential now. Our representatives are turning out to be facilitators of those who would be our minders - all in the name of freedom, they say. Trampling rights that are inconvenient isn't quite in line with freedom.
Indeed
Thank you, HardeeHo, and corruption is absolutely the default setting for politicians.
Davos’s 2022 theme is “Working Together and Restoring Trust.” They know they dun f’d up and revealed their hand too hard, too soon. You cannot work together with autocrats, you can only bend to their will. And you certainly can’t trust these people.
Fool me once and never again. I do feel—at last—a change in the current elsewhere, too. Monkeypox news was met with scathing memeology instead of the fear they expected to elicit.
they made a huge mistake in becoming so visible and starting to speak publicly as a group rather than continuing to generate and advance client/member politicians and play shadowy puppetmaster through them.
it has made the patterns of their work too plain and far too many have now seen it. this WEF affiliation used to look (when anyone noticed it at all) like a sort of harmless membership in a talking shop. now it looks like being the acolyte of a totalitarian malthusian cult with with authoritarian aspirations dressed up as technocracy.
i think they really underestimated the manner in which social media would find and amplify their previously little seen or noticed agendas and how out of step with the public pathos they would wind up.
now the lights are on.
let's see what the cockroaches do.
Gosh, right when my snarkiness is needed most, I seem to default to seriousness. My dear Gatito Malo Malo, NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Just when you think they will get it and stand up, they will bow their heads and mumble something about, "What's on TV?"
Stupidity flourishes while people are comfortable. If you are comfortable, it is not so hard to suffer fools. But as people begin to suffer, their native intelligence starts reawakening and they start to apply themselves to real problem-solving. Like in Indonesia lately.
Soft times => soft men. Hard times => hard men. Hard men => soft times.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
See, inter alia, *The Fourth Turning*, by Strauss and Howe.
Forgive me for paraphrasing, but a wise man said that people will tolerate intolerable treatment, as long as they are still somewhat comfortable. Your observation is spot on. We are WEAK because we are COMFORTABLE.
Yes...and people just "ratchet down" bit by bit and accept less and less. They are "nudged" downwards and it soon takes on a sense of normalcy. I guess that's the proverbial "frog in the pot" theory.
Perhaps a lot of stupidity, but also an incredibly high level of intellectual laziness. It's just too hard to do much thinking these days. What was the line in an old country song..."I've got a thinking problem".
Mrhounddog - I too am a little less optimistic than Gato
Agreed, but more that a little less optimistic
Yep. They moved too far, too fast, and they exposed themselves. What is seen cannot be unseen. Obscurity was their most potent defense and they sacrificed it. They know it, too: see, comments from the last Davos coven gathering to the effect that, in every country in which they have gained influence, they have lost the trust of the public.
Things will get interesting now. The WEFite cultists knows that they're fighting for their lives.
Who is their opposition? A select group of Substackers booted off Twitter and their avid commenters? A formidable lot we are. If I were going to let 100 Flowers Bloom to root out the opposition, I'd do it essentially the way Substack has evolved organically. Nicely identifiable and compartmentalized opposition, ready for a healthy dose of techno-totalitarianism. We can scrawl our comments on scraps of paper after lights out when we're living on the collective.
Don't be so myopic. The opposition consists of hundreds of millions of networked humans, analyzing and disseminating information through a myriad of channels that have repeatedly proved to be extraordinarily difficult to censor. Substack is just one component in that network. The informational duty cycle is so much faster than what the centralized social control systems can accomplish that the network is now essentially dictating the news cycle, with legacy media having been pushed into an essentially reactive mode.
For now, WEFites hold control of the legacy institutions; but those institutions are being drained of legitimacy in real time due to their lack of competence and trustworthiness.
Obviously I hope you are correct. I can be quite imaginative about the alternatives.
Betterwayconference last weekend in bath, uk gives me hope is a collection of high achieving people discussing science law health, the organizers have evolved to understand what used to be conspiracy. childrehealrhdefensefund is an amazing resource.
I don't agree that "they're fighting for their lives". The WEFite's are like cockroaches. They live in dark and ugly places, and occasionally emerge to shit all over our lives. Right now, they have chosen to become visible. And to attempt impose a dystopian new world order. If the WEF is successful, we enter a new "dark ages". If humanity wins, the WEFers (who have exposed themselves to our view), will merely clutch their untaxed trillions and retreat back into whatever cesspits they normally infest. And, like the cockroaches they resemble - in another generation or two - more cockroaches.
What do you make of the idea that Trump as an outsider forced an acceleration? I.e. they never would have played these hands so aggressively if they didn't need to compensate for what they expected to do with more subtlety under a Clinton admin?
it's an interesting question and an idea that seems plausible, but i'm not sure how to really know. covid also forced A LOT of hands. i suspect it has led to "trying to shoot the moon" 2 tricks too early in hearts and may well have ruined them.
it so nakedly revealed the nasty undercurrents in technocracy and the total incompetence of experts and models; their dishonesty and politicization and amorality was too big to miss.
and this will hamstring the climate push they have so long cultivated because the climate models are just slow motion versions of the epidemiology models (but with even more badly adulterated data and data sources. i have dug deeply into it and it's pure, unbridled garbage). but it has one major advantage: it was SLOW. it took decades to be revealed as wrong and by then, you're 3 model generations down the road and this time, we know what we're doing. promise!
that one might have worked. it would have boiled the frog slowly enough.
this was way too fast and it discredited the rest.
were they forced to move aggressively because trump was pulling the US out of all the trans-national orgs of global domination? seems possible. that stuff is going nowhere without the US and they certainly pulled out all the stops going after him and propping up a senile puppet rubber stamp the US acquiescence. but the blowback is getting out of control.
i think they badly misjudged the zeitgeist and what goodwill they had, they lost.
I agree mostly. The only potential weakness I see in your thinking is that you seem to think that the Covid-19 "pandemic" was unexpected. What I offer below is just a conspiracy theory of course, as many probably never could be proven even if it were true. Consider the following: two and a half years into this pandemic, it can be demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that all the infrastructure was in place well BEFORE the pandemic officially began: they were researching the viruses for years, there were emergency laws and regulations already in place, there were even scenarios and exercises like the infamous Event 201. Most of this isn't even secret. You can read a lot of it on the organization's own web sites, even now. Moderna was a down on its luck genetics company, never having had a successful product. It "probably" had/has ties to deep state/intelligence; several such firms do. Of course that's all hush-hush but they cannot completely cover their tracks.
I think a very good conspiracy theory case can be made that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately released in late 2019. Motive, means and opportunity are all rather plausibly delineated. As I said above, there probably will never be a way to prove it, but in my opinion at least, it remains an undeniable possibility. One of the biggest impediments that normal people have to entertaining such wild theories is that they honestly seem to believe that workers in government and corporate are decent folk and they would never stoop to such evil deeds. Alas, if only the sheep would read more history.
i doubt the deliberate release narrative for a couple reasons:
1. they are not that smart
2. such a plan is WAY too out of control.
3. they'd have not done so in such an incriminating locale for folks like NIH/EHA/UNC
4. i think it leaked LONG before late 2019.
they would have been WAY more ready for this if it had been deliberate. this all felt like a scramble.
C19 specific nucleotide sequence patents predated this pandemic. These sequences were modeled to magically develop mRNA therapy. these patented unique nucleotide sequences found in c19, were highly unlikely to naturally evolve but likely to have been passed using in vitro techniques. HIV sequence homologies, prion homologies within the c19 sequence suggests man manipulations as documented in early preprints from India (probably retracted). I read preprints on my last day working in the office dec 2019. There may be some biowarfare going on and I have thought they are using the 1st world countries to promote their mRNA therapy to the rest of the world. Like Thailand wants the mRNA not the sinovz they have. By acknowledging problems it might lose demand of all their upcoming rna based therapies. Injectees represent their successful product ironically.
perhaps it was deliberate to get rid of trump but scrambled because of the short time frame
Yes, I believe it was released so the drop boxes could be in place and the election stolen, they had to get Trump out of there. Hillary not winning was a huge shock to their plans.
I have nothing to back this up except a sense. I think the virus smoking gun was forced out or put forth too early.
I agree the release was man made most likely intentional. My spouse thinks to help trump lose
In hindsight it's kinda amazing Trump was "allowed" to win in '16. They really misjudged the mood back then. Hard to say how things will develop - it should be obvious but mail-in ballots mean they can basically do anything to get the numbers come election time, with the captured media and pollsters leading legitimatcey to it all.
Wesley, Somebody on a substack somewhere was of the opinion that the totally unexpected double barrels of Brexit & Trump’s election really rattled the global elites who thought they had the prols totally under control, & they’ve been in a frenzy ever since. I find this a plausible theory for why things have accelerated so quickly & massively & I also think that same frenzy has led to the mistakes they’ve made…thank God
This wef is smugly confident as trudeau ghates' exemplify but they know they need increasing protection; which tells us...
How do you think the situation in Ukraine plays into this? Has Putin wandered off the reservation?
I'd be interested in reading your thoughts on the possibility of economic collapse in the US.
I have been thinking about that as well. Isn’t it just fool hardy to think that any of these WEFs don’t fully think that they 1) could do it better and 2) create their own kingdom?
What if there's a revolution in Russia?...or worse in China? That opens pandora's box. Ukraine is a crucible in those regards
Indeed. We are living in the interesting times of the Chinese curse.
war is always beneficial to the overlords. need to gin up one, and one you think you can win, somehow. putin may be on the reservation, but everyone is expendable at some point.
I don't think Putin was ever on the reservation. Evidence: the Russian standard of living has improved continuously under his watch.
Indeed it has. But, from my understanding, Putin is also pushing "a needle in every arm." So much going on, my heading is spinning trying to make sense of it all.
The only thing I am certain of is that there is something very, very evil playing out now.
He is, but I suspect that might be something of a cunning ruse. WEFite influence has penetrated Russian society too. Had Putin simply said, this is all nonsense, the vaxx is poison, etc., he'd have left himself open to political attack, especially during the early, hysterical period of the plandemic. Instead, he rolled out the Sputnik vaccine, a conventional vaccine that has been notably absent from all the discussion of adverse events. By doing so he preempted the widespread introduction of mRNA transfections. Further, while he encouraged people to get Sputnik, he didn't mandate it; what mandates were attempted were at the regional/municipal level, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, both of which have strong liberal, Westernizing influences in their local politics. Those mandates in any case failed, and from what I've been told by friends who have been over there the plandemic is now essentially over in Russia.
RFK jr defender podcast with Bruce Gagnon may 22,2022 gives a alt. thought of Ukrainian war. Resource chess game,breakup of Russia. He states that Russia GDP is 1/10 of California’s so could not overtake Europe. Is that GDP reasonable assessment of Russian financial strength?
Haha, that’s what I just said! Their incompetence is our strategic advantage.
Your optimism bouys me madame.
🙌
maybe they are incompetent, maybe they are not. the reality is that it is impossible for anyone or small group of people to control a system so complex as the entire earth and all its inhabitants. perhaps their competence allows them to do it just enough t0 make life miserable but never really achieve their aims
It is so blatant that it makes me wonder if it has been intentional. Perhaps their tuning us in a bit will serve as an ever more treacherous distraction to their more horrific machinations, if that is possible. I don't know iw if they are smart enough, but they are certainly evil enough.
well...a number of the higher ups in the wef are nearing the end of their lives. and, i imagine those types have huge egos. so, what good is fulfilling your dream of running the world without people knowing its you doing it? so, at some point you have to step out from the shadows. the problem for them is they truly believe you will own nothing and be happy. hence, they can't see the consequences of stepping into the light.
They’re planning to reach the singularity and live forever thanks to technocratic innovations and a steady diet of children’s blood ;-)
Like when you have a conspiracy theorist friend who always talks about a shadow government. Or how we grew up laughing at So I Married an Axe Murderer and the joke about a “pentaveret” running the world. The hint was always there. Let’s see how they hold up in the full daylight.
Cockroaches....good characterization. Always scurrying around and very adept at hiding from you. Also very very difficult to eradicate. I once read that if something destroyed all living things on earth, if any critter were to survive it would be the cockroach.
Like generals in perhaps most of history, they are always fighting the last war.
This is our decisive advantage.
In the coming contest between their censorship and our malign creativity, my money is on the memes.
memes are the revenge of the high G shape rotators. it's a medium both faster and more replete than the emotive soundbite that has so long dominated media by being too fast to counter with rationality and reason.
memes will gut the emoters and restore reason to prominence in the rapid fire contest of ideas for attention and impact.
the modality that dominated the last 20 years is dead.
it just hasn't fallen over yet.
That which is falling should also be pushed.
As it falls, it will take a lot of lives with it. This is an inescapable fact of the behavior of falling power structures.
Exactly. Let's accelerate it's demise.
Mockery is indeed the bane of tyrants—who have no humour or ability to self-ridicule.
Others have already spoken about Solzhenitsyn here. If there is any lesson to be learned from dissident history, it is this: You gain little, if any "social credit" for being a compliant sheep, a good boy. When The Party needs to round up enemies, they will come for you too. Given that logic then, I say you might as well continue speaking the truth and defying the rulers as long as you can. If things are really going to get as bad, ultimately it will make little difference whether you are disappeared now or a week later.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a socialist."

We had a subway shooting / murder this weekend. Random. Stand up citizen murdered by career criminal for no reason.
Our new mayor is fighting the state to put back version of stop and frisk and to put back bail.
However. I am predicting this won’t work. The democrats want crime to run rampant over nyc. That way on the subway they can do surveillance as we enter the subway - we go thru TSA like x-ray machines. They will know who we are and where we are going and it will cost trillions to put this in our subway system. Lots of fat for kickbacks - Adams wants to run for President. And be the next Obama
My theory is the FBI gave this a-Hole the gun. He was supposed to do a mass shooting. But chickened out
Democrats need chaos for the midterms and to increase the surveillance state.
I can’t believe they were ‘bright’ enough to give Nina the boot! I applaud Jack Posobiec for leading the charge on Twitter. She was obliterated…though easily accomplished given the frequent showing of her failed musical auditions. But I knew they weren’t done, and they have now brought in the evil ones who know how to work the system with more clout yet seamless integration. It’s time to stand up. No submission to the anti constitutional minions.
I'm inclined to believe it Nina's ouster was not from outside pressure but likely from insider staff. Imagine having to work with or report to her.
I still can't believe the arrogance.
That life long hyper partisans have been chosen to run the Truth Ministry
is all you need to know.
Why not? They've given up hiding because they believe the public to be so stupid that they can get away with whatever they want. And why wouldn't they think so? After all, they were voted into office.
Chertoff, Nina J, Psaki, Samantha Power, Yellin, Charles Schumer...
The Greek philosophers were right; Physiognomy is real!
This. They look like villains from a DC comic.
Or demons from hell...
Fun fact: Chertoff means "son of a demon" in Russian, which is where his family is originally from (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chort)
The Obama administration made government propaganda legal. Remedies need to start there.
Remember the optimism when Obama was elected, after everyone got sick of Bush and his bullshit? What a disappointment he was.
It was obvious it wasn’t going anywhere, but bringing it into plain sight under someone like Nina Jankowicz was a huge mistake that they tried to reverse before too many people noticed. It doesn’t really matter what they do now on this front, it was a mistake to reveal their hand so early and now a substantial minority (quite a few of whom they actually need) will never believe another word however they try to control the flow of propaganda.
Orwell & Kafka were prescient...
they lived through a period of fascist impulse.
we are living through another.
then, as now, the pathway out is making plain the tools and tricks used to perpetrate such suppression and subjugation.
and now, as then, we'll rout them. because their system sucks and the more control they get, the more obvious that fact becomes.
Fight on, there is no other choice

Non-compliance is our most powerful weapon against fascistic behavior.
True the Vote. Hold power accountable. File lawsuits, and, "Stand in The Park." Etc., etc., etc
Protect whistleblowers and spread stories of success to encourage the fence sitters.

Blessings to everyone in the fight for humanity and our Freedom!
We have so many avenues to push back.
Let's utilize them all!
If DHS really wants to protect "core Constitutional rights, . . . civil rights and privacy" as their memo says, then they can darn well get their butts over to Switzerland where, right about now, Klaus Schwab is ready to coronate himself king of the world, in order to violate all of the above at will. Somehow I think DHS will fail to prevent Biden from attempting to torch the US Constitution.
