If it had not been for the mass censorship of the Internet, the scamdemic would never have been successful, Trump would still be president because the election theft would never have been possible, Hunter and very probably Joe Biden would very likely be in jail or at the very least nowhere to be found in local politics, and just in general the whole Sand Castle of Babel the WEFites have built would have been washed away by the tides of truth and popular discontent.
This is existential for these lying shitbirds and they know it better than anyone.
Not exactly correct. True, perhaps, for the US, but how about Japan, where I live? How about the rest of the world? Twitter is (Was?) an important tool of those behind this, but the is much more afoot here. The scamdemic is a worldwide problem.
I live in SA, and I feel like the term "state capture" was coined here after the Guptas collusion with the ruling party under JZuma. They effectively infiltrated all organs of state and I was often amazed (almost in awe) at how well they chose which pies to have fingers in. And having had that - the world has been captured and two years of covid has shown the extent for those who are willing to see.
You're both right TS and John. There is more afoot here, it is very coordinated but social media censorship is a tool that has driven the agenda far.
I posted the video above, I think it's a good description of what is going on in the world so I post again. Probably more nuanced still, but I think the basics are covered.
I don't think there was a transcript of the video. Basics are:
The WEF was based on the Club of Rome and follows the thinking of Thomas Malthus (malthusians) who wrote a paper outlining their belief:
- that the earth has limited resources, e.g. energy and that once the resources run out, we're done. they have to manage this so that their lifestyles are not impacted.
- they therefore want 'us' poor, less populous and controlled so that we cannot compete with them for the earth's limited resources. thus, inflation by design and control of our lives.
- capitalism (a la Milton Friedman) offers innovation and competition as a way to solve the problem of limited resources, something that the Davos elites/malthusians don't accept.
I think I've covered the key points, it's a good video, perhaps you'll get a chance to view it sometime.
The video ends with a clip of Milton Friedman's speech to (I think) the Club of Rome) somewhat mocking their 'limited resources' paper. His point is that capitalism has always found a solution and sorted things out. I tend to agree. Human ingenuity truly has no bounds, it only requires some space. I tend to be optimistic. I've become a fan of Jordan Peterson as well. He's stated many times that 'no one EVER gets away with anything'. He's very adamant about this and says he has seen this 100% in his practice.
We shall see. Just do what you can and don't loose hope, have faith in God the source of ALL good solutions!
I'm 65, I know what you mean. I still believe what Dr. Peterson said to be true. First of all, when people have problems they will turn to a therapist or psychologist not to you or me. He'll see more than we will. Secondly, none of us really know what happens to someone else, especially internally. It may be that people get away with crimes, sins etc. from a legal perspective but they as a person will suffer one way or another. It is very true that hatred, malice, revenge burns a person up inside, literally. Lastly, I've learned in my own life to not judge God: in a way, having knowledge of someone paying for their misdeeds or not is analogous in some sense.
For the time being, I try to focus on the fact that I am well, despite hardships I may have endured. I try to focus on the fact that I HAVE endured, I haven't been defeated...not yet anyway. And I try not to be fearful/worried about tomorrow. Sometimes I'm successful in that!
But that does not stop them from doing what they do nor absolve us of our responsibility to protect ourselves by holding them accountable. I do find solace knowing that ultimately they must answer to God for what they have dome and continue to do. Meanwhile, at the moment I am o the train to work, the only unmasked passenger and receiving eye thrown daggers from the other passengers and my son is happily wearing his mask for ten hours today.
Our mask mandate was dropped around Mar. 21 but I stopped wearing mine on Mar. 1 when other mandates were dropped. The first time I went to the grocery store sans mask I was actually scared and I was the only one without a mask. But it was fine, I avoided eye contact, but the next time was easier. When I was scared, I reminded myself of people at war fighting to defend themselves and that thought embarrassed me into bravery.
I am so sorry for your son, I assume you at 51 have a son who is an adult or close to. If he's happy, then at least don't worry?!?!
I have not many doubts that mask mandates will return in the fall as 'flu' season accelerates. Even now, at least half the population continues with masking. I'm mentally making plans to not wear one, or at least to push, bend whatever rules will exist, some places I will just avoid. In the mean time, I am attending meetings with other similarly thinking people to plan, support a resistance movement, legal challenges etc.
We have to do our best. I am somewhat affluent so I try to support causes that are anti narrative with at least a small donation.
We are at war and must act accordingly if peacefully.
A problem can't be solved until it's identified and right now, there are more and more people identifying it. I guarantee you that there aren't too many people who will embrace poverty in order to keep the rulers (or would be rulers) in the lap of luxury!
I'll also quote eugyppius 'don't do their job for them by despairing of an end', this has become one of my favourite mottos!
Sadly, that impression is wrong. The new school year has just started, My medical school and affiliated nursing school are all online agitating this year. I am the only unmasked o person at my two schools holding in person instruction. They have just started fascinating kids here and already talking about the 4th shot for those over a certain age, 12 I think. Went into Tokyo today. Apart from my one reflection here and there, saw not a single unmasked person.
Well, the Japanese are a famously conformist people, and masking has been common there for quite some time.
Regarding the V, I was under the impression that the Japanese government wasn't making it mandatory. Is that mistaken? The Japanese are generally extremely conservative when it comes to medical treatments.
No, but yes. You are correct in that there are no governmental mandates. The Government here has said that while they would like to impose mandates, they lack the legal authority to do so. So, they make “recommendations” only. However, as the intent is clear, the recommendations are basically mandates. Employers impose them. Schools impose them. Businesses impose them upon their employees and occasionally their customers.
My wife has not been into her office since early February 2020 except for 3 times. Each time was to get her company provided vaccine. It is 3 minutes until midnight here and she is still working, the barrier between work time and family time long since erased.
One of my employers, a vocational school for medical technicians, demanded that I wear a mask for online classes I taught online. I didn’t. Not a fun time. We have had many camp site reservations cancelled due to covid panic. Everything has been cancelled for the past two years. We are starting on the third year of cancellations as this Spring’s festivals were also cancelled. While some things have opened back up, preregistering is required to prevent over crowding, masks as required and in some cases three faccine shots or 3 days of negative testing. I am supposed to be taking my temperature at least daily and recording it in case one of my employers asks for it. If they do, I’ll tell them to go fauci themselves. It is a dystopian hell here.
That's completely insane but nothing you've said there really surprises me at all.
To get back to the original issue - what's the online speech situation? If I know my Japs social pressure is enough to keep them in line, no explicit state or corporate censorship required. They also tend to look to the West for cues on a lot of things; the censorship over here likely has knock on effects over there. Thoughts?
Social pressure, as you seem to know, is the most powerful of all for Japanese. They will knowingly follow the crowd to their own death before they would even consider facing the idea of being a social outcast. And yes, they is a lot of straight up parroting of what the West says and does. At first, Japan seemed to not do this with Coivd. Then pressure was brought to bare and they implemented their own brand of lockdowns, which I call “lockdown Lite (TM)”.
Online speech. This I can not speak to with much knowledge. Twitter is big in the US but “LINE” is, if not the biggest, one of the biggest. While there has long been discussion on social media’s role in things here, it does not seem to be anywhere near what Twitter is in the US. I shared the restrictions one of my, now former, Med.schools placed upon its employees and students. I am supposed to keep conversation at the dinner table in my own home with my family to a minimum, maintain social distancing and am specifically prohibited from “snuggling”. The fear everyone has is being put out on the nightly news, news papers, incessant public announcements, in schools, from our employers and social groups. Not much any social media could add, really.
I know from personal experience, that any attempt to tell my employers of my qualification in respirator use is shouted over with, ‘It’s the RULE’, it’s the RULE’. As I feared at the beginning, once an action is adopted, it will continue regardless what is later learned of its effectiveness. Constant hand sanitizing, spraying and wiping surfaces before and after use continues to this day despite it being known for, what, 18 months now?, that it is not spread from surfaces.
Ah yeah, that brings me back. One of my greatest frustrations with the Japanese is their general inability to take initiative independent of group norms. If the norms make sense, it's a huge strength for them; when they don't it's a crippling weakness.
Still, one of the weird things about consensus society, particularly in a place like Japan where so much of the collective conversation takes place at a subtextual level that is completely opaque to outsiders, is that when a new consensus is reached things can transform more or less immediately and with no apparent warning.
Same seems to hold true today too. A but in the past, but supports what you said is cigarette usage. I use to use a station in Tokyo that sits on top of a river bank. Despite being open on the sides with breezes following the river, you could not see people from waist up from across the rive, the cigarette smoke was so thick. Then over night, all the smoke was gone. Japanese society decide that smoking in stations was no longer acceptable and with the snap of the fingers, it ended.
The only reason that the Jap govt did not impose "mandates" was because they knew the Japs will comply with their "recommendations". Why use force and anger some people when recommendations do the same job?
The same in other countries which did not have mandates: because people complied massively.
This is so true. Unfortunately, it is either misunderstood or ignored and reported in such a way as to give the impression that society in Japan, and presumably others, is carrying on as if nothing happened. That is certainly not the case.
Thank you for sharing that. It gives us more of an idea about the reality of it. God knows, the "pictures" we're getting are so distorted and smudged that there are only vague ideas we can go by in assessing what's what.
A few years at sea help out a lot. As does an appreciation of Japanese incense. If I can’t change the landscape I see, I can at least change the scentscape. But the biggest motivating factor is, what choice do I have?
Hard to say. I live in Japan. At first, it was largely ignored here. Japan closed its borders after China closed its borders. Quite some time after. only after tons of criticism for not taking it seriously, did they close the borders and start with other “recommendations”. It wasn't until our second wave that any restrictions based upon the recommendations were issued.
China faking it? it is China. They faked fireworks for the broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Olympics a few years back, not the recent Winter Olympics.
If they are faking it by locking down 27 million Shanghai citizens, who are now running out of food, how is that supposed to perpetuate the scam, to convince the West to do the same? We were crazy the first time around, we are not going to be that crazy a second time around. No, it's all panic, and it was panic from the start, followed by the usual scam artists.
If it had not been for the mass censorship of the Internet, the scamdemic would never have been successful, Trump would still be president because the election theft would never have been possible, Hunter and very probably Joe Biden would very likely be in jail or at the very least nowhere to be found in local politics, and just in general the whole Sand Castle of Babel the WEFites have built would have been washed away by the tides of truth and popular discontent.
This is existential for these lying shitbirds and they know it better than anyone.
Not exactly correct. True, perhaps, for the US, but how about Japan, where I live? How about the rest of the world? Twitter is (Was?) an important tool of those behind this, but the is much more afoot here. The scamdemic is a worldwide problem.
I live in SA, and I feel like the term "state capture" was coined here after the Guptas collusion with the ruling party under JZuma. They effectively infiltrated all organs of state and I was often amazed (almost in awe) at how well they chose which pies to have fingers in. And having had that - the world has been captured and two years of covid has shown the extent for those who are willing to see.
I like the term “State capture”.
You're both right TS and John. There is more afoot here, it is very coordinated but social media censorship is a tool that has driven the agenda far.

Sorry, but due to the fact that my wife and I are both working from home, video is not an option for me. Do you have a transcript?

Thanks for the summary. Only one way to fix this, but those who could, remain waiting for a sign or something.
The video ends with a clip of Milton Friedman's speech to (I think) the Club of Rome) somewhat mocking their 'limited resources' paper. His point is that capitalism has always found a solution and sorted things out. I tend to agree. Human ingenuity truly has no bounds, it only requires some space. I tend to be optimistic.

I am 51 and have seen very very few pay for their misdeeds. B. Clinton got away with tons. Al Gore too.

I wanted to add a link to an article Robert Malone just posted to his substack that falls inline with the video I linked to:

I can't comment all that intelligently on Japan, but it was my impression that they didn't go nearly as far off the deep end on the virus hysteria.
Sadly, that impression is wrong. The new school year has just started, My medical school and affiliated nursing school are all online agitating this year. I am the only unmasked o person at my two schools holding in person instruction.

Panicdemic, not scamdemic.
I usually call it “the panic”. Scamdemic has its merits too.
Panic first, scam followed.
I thought too, at first. Now, I’m not sure.
The current panic in China proves it was panic from the start. Unless you believe they are faking it?
Hard to say. I live in Japan. At first, it was largely ignored here. Japan closed its borders after China closed its borders. Quite some time after. only after tons of criticism for not taking it seriously, did they close the borders and start with other “recommendations”.

We were crazy the first time around, we are not going to be that crazy a second time around. No, it's all panic, and it was panic from the start, followed by the usual scam artists.
Why are they locking down again? Scam or panic? There was no panic here in Japan until the testing started. Testing is a scam.
Panic, obviously. Explain to me how you think they're going to pull of a scam for the second time?
